- Jocat was one of my favorite TTRPG creators when I first got into Dungeons and Dragons. I watched all the Jocat Crap Guide's to D&D and it makes me sad to find out because of constant harassment over the last year they are stepping away from making videos indefinitely.
You never know what people are going through in their private lives.

I’ve set this video up to be a fundraiser and I'm not 100% sure how these work. I made an update to the fundraiser to set a goal of $500 to make sure that we can hit that goal and get it sent out to the charity! I asked around for how the fundraisers work and this seems like the best way to do it from what I've heard.

JoCat's the GOAT and its a shame he will no longer be making content. He seems like a cool dude, and it would've been great to have an opportunity to work with the guy. Also, I truly wish that those who harassed him and his family could finally get the courage to go see a therapist.
FUCK THE HATERS THEY SHOULD GET THERAPY BEFORE HATING. Sorry for the language uh idk
There is however a large stigma around seeking mental help in the world, or at least in the west, especially if you are male.
@@JakeCWolfStigma should never be an excuse and society as a whole as of late has been working hard so that would not be the case. A stigma is to a concept as a stereotype is to a group of people, adhering to them is just as harmful to oneself as it is to others and this needs to be realized.
Sorry for the text block, the topic of stigmas has been a bit annoying these past couple years.
@@vinnypiazza4851 a stigma can take incredibly long to dissipate especially if it has been around for a long time and reinforced, just because a stigma is being fought against now and people are attempting to reverse that stigma it can still affect those who grew up with it reinforced in the culture. It's a big thing and can't be simply be changed overnight, it takes time, but during that time people can still be affected by that stigma. But I'm not sure therapy would help those haters, their probably just jackasses, in some cases dangerous jackasses, but jackasses none the less.
@@DeezNuts-ju1rj I'm aware, I'm more just expressing my frustration with stigma as well as people's inability to think beyond what a stigma implies about those things
Dude said "I like women" in the most wholesome way possible and got threatened and harassed for it. Absolute circus.
It was a cute and funny video too! I don't get it. A terminally online person really needs to dig deep in that video to find something to complain about because I can't find what's wrong with it. He basically listed all kinds of girls too, so that makes it even more wholesome! Argh! I am upset about all of this.
Its so bizarre to me that a women can do the exact video but no one would mind an eye, im no incel but this double moral people have its starting to make me real mad.
*Essentially, if we could get an exact number of how many haters actually watched the vid past seeing the thumbnail, it would likely not be a big one.*
For a person with a heart full of hate, either self induced one or from being harassed by others, seeing someone say "I like girls" translates in their head to something like "I like girls and you should" or whatever homophobic line they transplant from their own life onto someone they see online.
*And the worst part, a lot of people likely only took someone's word for it. You only need 100 a-holes and a lie to convince 100000 people to rally against 1 phrase out of context.*
@@mantraki There are double standards all over the place, no matter where you look. Doesn't make you an incel to notice one that applies to women lmao.
@@mantraki ? Why does it require being an incel to have that thought?
Guy said "i like girls" and twitter threatened his life and got away with it.
We truly live in a clown timeline.
twitter is a right wing hell hole now so what did ya expect....
"Do you like girls? If not, the video isn't for you so fuck off" should've been the stance he took.
A clowns timeline is an understatement, way would have been better than this.
He didn't just say that, he said it in a non traditional masculine way and received homophobia for it. Somehow.
Its not the leftwing Twitter bubble tho.
This is the embodiment of the mike tyson quote (sorry if i mess it up.) "Being anonymous on the internet makes people way too comfortable about talking shit and not getting punched in the face for it."
Yeah because I am shivering at the thought of the dude that made "I like girls" video with cat girls' ears punching me lmao, get real little guy.
@@pja6476 I think they were referring to the haters there. I hope so, at least
@@konstant_ly yes I'm referring to the people who made Jo cat quit.
@@konstant_ly yes, and I am one of those haters, and I am talking about how pathetic jocat is
@@pja6476 how is he pathetic? Genuine question
The "I like Girls" video is what made me a fan of his animations. Why can't people just let others be happy and enjoy the things that they make without throwing a tantrum?
Because they themselves are not happy and wish to make others unhappy just like them. They are awful people but we must remember that people like that are created not born.
@@thememeilator2633 Damn straight 👍🏼
Omg yeah! That video was silly and I loved it!
@@thememeilator2633 Tabula Rasa is a theory, not a fact.
Doesn't really take away much from your point though. We should all strive to act with decency towards each other. It's the... _decent_ thing to do...
@@jacobesterson we all shape our own perspectives and ideas of things and subjects based off of emotional or logical situations and information.
In the case of those people i believe they act the way they do based off of personal IRL issues which only spiral downwards.
Thank you for the reply btw.
It makes me viscerally angry that people cancelled JoCat for BEING BODY POSITIVE.
Nah they hate him because his stuff seems gay , tho its the straightest shit i ever heard 🗣🗣
But you're maybe right
Actual body positivity involves encouraging healthy behavior and lifestyle, telling people comforting lies and encouraging a lifestyle that leads to a premature death isn't, and the latter is what modern day body positivity is, so I definitely don't support that stance.
Not that he deserves being harassed or threatened mind you, that's an entirely inappropriate response to having a different opinion.
@@Daredhnu body positivity is for the disfigured and disabled, not the weak willed who can't commit to healthy food and want the rest of the world to accept and praise them for being at their worst.
@@DaredhnuI'm pretty sure the body positivity movement in general is mostly about respecting and cheering on people of all shapes and sizes, not encouraging any one specific body type over the other. The movement exists as a response to the dehumanisation, harassment, and misrepresentation of people who don't fall into conventional beauty standards for whatever of the dozens of reasons they don't look that way, those not just being too lazy, as people who don't struggle with negative feeling regarding their bodies may believe.
No one is encouraging people to die "prematurely," as that is inherently regressive to any movement, but regardless of how fit one is, anyone can lose their life in an instant in something as simple as a car accident. However, death by one's own hand as a result of a lifetime of bullying and experiencing an utter lack of empathy from many people who look more in line with what society seems to like is significantly more likely for the people the movement seems to encourage. Unlike a car accident, it can be foreseen and it can be prevented.
Twitter is the embodiment of the phrase "Misery loves company."
A shame Jocat courted his own doom (he supported the Twitter crowd that was responsible for all this harassment against him).
@@SockieTheSockPuppetexplain ?
@janaejoaodosacramento9731 It was specifically the Ts of the "alphabet community" on Twitter that harassed Jocat. When Pikamee was being brutally bullied, Jocat was among those who were defending the Twitter denizens' actions, and got pretty obnoxious with his defense of them. But apparently he never once thought that they would ever turn on him. They rediscovered the video, and they primarily accused him of transphobia and being against body positivity (and some other unhinged things like him being revealed to not be gay "ruining" some people's headcanons).
@@SockieTheSockPuppet alphabet community ?
@janaejoaodosacramento9731 RUclips is notorious for randomly striking people for arbitrary reasons. Some people can use it while others can't.
If you don't understand who I'm talking about, here's a hint: which community is always referred to using letters?
"Sorry for causing trouble"?! JoCat, bro, you are a light in this dark world. The people harrassing you are the trouble causers!
This is so fucking heartbreaking. Not just Jocat quitting, but his message. Calling himself weak for walking away and not wanting to put up with doxing and threats to his family. It's so fucking sad. If anything, he's strong for making this choice, I bet it's hard for him too to lose these videos and the positive side of the community, even though he and his family are obviously much more important. I really hope he can pursue his own happiness and put himself out there again eventually, whether that be youtube, twitch or otherwise.
He is though? And he has the self awareness to recognize it lmao. How about instead you let him reflect on his lack of strength and how to gain it so he may actually have a real comeback and this is only temporary.
You shitting on his own self reflection isn't the help you think it is. Encourage him instead.
For real. only a weak person would let some twitter freaks ever get to them instead of just laughing at the clowns like youre supposed to do. I believe he recognized that and decided he needed to work on himself and gain the strength to not take their shit seriously.
@@SanjiluvThey doxxed him and sent potentially llegal shit to his family. He has the right to be scared over that.
@@Sanjiluv bro, they sent shit to his family and doxxed him
@@Sanjiluvwell your not the brightest are you?
God I can't believe that the video brought so much hate to thie extent. I always found it just a really fun video.
I still can’t wrap my head around it
Same! like, how did anyone found anything to be mad. It's just a joke video and there was nothing bad about it. It's really fucking dumb...
it's bizarre! the video was really cute
I loved that video! That and the Gobbo adventures. Crap guide to dnd was my introduction to JoCat
Same
Not just within the TTRPG community
FFXIV and MH as well
He’s touched so many lives in such a positive manner
He didn’t deserve this.
I’m so tired of such shitty things happening to good people, while the people who are actually shitty don’t get it half as bad
It’s true, so many communities love Jocat’s content. It’s sad to hear that they thought they weren’t cut out for it. Millions of people clearly thought the videos were good.
yeah... Jocat was a good boy loved by many.
I feel like this is one of the few occasions where we should stoop down to their level. I bet half these fools don't even cover their tracks on the Internet, so much ripe data to exploit.
@@justanidiotmk2749 but would JoCat want that to happen? He’s too nice to get all vengeancey, even when it’s others doing it on his behalf.
@@bottasheimfe5750 he wouldn't, but that shouldn't stop anyone.
Thank you for supporting JoCat and putting up a donation link to help others with mental health problems.
I hope more people do it. DnD Shorts had a great video and I wanted to try and do my part too
Now I have *Welcome to The Internet* in my head..
JoCat: "I like girls"
Everyone that wasn't twitter: happy and/or horni
Twitter: bursting with rage
Twitter: "M'ladies, we're protecting you."
The ladies: *ANGRY HEAVY NOISES*
@@autobotstarscream765its right wingers angry hes apparently not straight enough
I really hate the internet, how can anyone be so mean to someone as wholesome as Jocat??
There are some incredibly vile people out there.
It's because he's so nice.
It's the same with bullies: They only attack people who they know will not fight back.
it's because of that, not despite it.
If you think someone who supports and pushes for child abuse is a wholesome person, I can understand your confusion.
@@gohomehero Found the transphobe. Nice people aren't bigots either, time for you to go home too
Not bullying, criminally harassing and threatening.
Boiling it down to "bullying" simply deceives people to take these actions as much lighter than they actually are.
There's a reason I've come to hold the opinion that bullying is just abuse wearing a child friendly mask.
Cat is getting hate for saying "doxing harry potter players is ok"(paraphrase) on his twitter account. You've been played and you're spreading that misinformation.
@@pelipoika88 I'm a pedantic prick so I'm inclined to mention that the term "abuse" implies a kind of granted license in some way that has been overextended on one side or taken advantage of, while "Bullying" implies no such thing. You have no inherent right to access your classmate or random other child, so harassing/ messing with them is not abuse as there is nothing to abuse. Your coworker/partner/family does have some such granted right to access you and therefore has a reciprocated social or financial contract that can be abused.
@@Layarion Gonna need a source for that other that trust me bro.
@@Layarionsend a link for that, bud
Twitter users when they see someone happy
THAT video caused all this drama? That is probably my favorite thing JoCat ever did. I've played it so many times that my ex had an permanent earworm for weeks.
I'm so upset about this. I Like Girls was my actual favorite JoCat video. I can't imagine what would be in someone's heart to see something so sweet and wholesome and decide "I'm gonna threaten his family for this."
I'm way out of loop. Wtf happened?
@@FatalTrip10 JoCat made "I Like Girls" video years ago and got harrased over it by alt-right AND puritan-left twitter freaks since. JoCat kept quiet about it to not feed the drama, but shit kept escalating because people are absolute garbage, so JoCat decided to "take an indefinite break".
@FatalTrip10 watch the video mate.
@@girlkillsgods Yeah I know it's connected to the "I like girls" video but what specifically did they take issue with there? Where they accusing him objectifying women, misogyny, pedophilia or what?
@@FatalTrip10 No, apparently you're not allowed to just like girls. They got really angry at him for just liking different kinds of girls.
My guy. DnD ain't the only ones losing him. Monster Hunter fans are as well. Dude will be missed.
We lost Goobo... everyone losses.
And FFXIV fans.
The LGBTQ community at that.
Allies are the best thing we had, no wonder they are being targeted....
@@lostbutfreesoul Yeah. I'm not sad that I lost a FFXIV content creator, or a Monster Hunter or DnD Content creator. I'm sad that I lost an ally. A straight ally on the internet who was vocal about LGTBQIA+ rights is invaluable, and needed now more than ever
Bro I never heard of this Jocat guy until he left and half the people I am subbed to started talking about it yet even I miss him.
It legitimately made me cry when I first read it. Even now my eyes are starting to tear up. JoCat was always just such a kind, fun and wholesome person. I can't imagine how people can have such hatred against him of all people.
cause he was promoting evil movements

I LOVED that video, the fact he improvised it on the spot in such a body positive light was insane. I love his videos, his wholesome personality, his engagement towards charities, seeing him have fun with his friends, being honest with feeling down and struggles. The fact that he APOLOGISES and think he is weak for this is enraging. It is not the victims fault, it's the bullying, harassing and personal assault that are at fault. Not him. I really hope karma bites whomever sends hate like this out, to him or anyone else. I wish you the best Jocat. I hope you find happiness and purpose in life, and are safe and happy with your loved ones. I will miss you, so many will miss you. And if you ever want to look back - We'll be here to cheer you on. :) Stay safe everyone. Don't be a dick to people.
I hate that he is being bullied off the platform, but I respect the fact that he is doing it since his family has been targeted. He did not deserve any of the hate, especially from those he looked up to. I wish him well in his future endeavors and hope against hope we will see him again someday.
I mean, he raised funds to transition children. You want to talk about ruining lives? Imagine being sterile before you even hit puberty because someone pressured you into it. Don't support the bullying, but it probably will prevent some other lives being ruined.
@ephemispriest8069 yeah that sounds like you are deliberately misrepresenting things.
@@ephemispriest8069 bro says this and talks about jocat leaving his ‘disgusting politics’ out of his content 💀💀
@@pking8792 Transitioning children is disgusting. It's irreversible and children are not ready to make that decision. Not to mention the social pressure and doctor dollars that want children to be special little trans snowflakes.
So yes, disgusting politics. It's child abuse. All the people detransitioning right now and suffering are the tip of the iceburg. It's no different than the ADHD pandemic of the nineties where you had abusive parents drugging their kids out of their minds rather than... parent them.
I support trans people, but I will not support targeting children and allowing those in the community preying on vulnerable children/women/gays/lesbians/etc.
@@DHTheAlaskan Such as? I'm being completely honest.
I’ve seen JoCat’s “I like girls” video, and there was nothing with it. I loved his crap series on D&D guides, and I’m definitely going to miss his Gobbo adventures too. I wish him and his family well, and I hope they’ll stay safe too.
The freaks that supposedly got offended by it are dopamine addicts. They take anything that could be construed as offensive material to create online drama, so they could get attention and validation from the other freaks for that sweet, sweet dopamine hit. That’s why when you call out BS on their online screeching the freaks have no other recourse but to hit “private” on their accounts. You’re not dealing with normal people, but addicts on legal highs that need to go into rehab.
What the hell is wrong with people? JoCat is such a treasure.
Some people really need to get offline sometimes. This obsession with finding dirt on people is ridiculous.
Hope them the best. I would have tapped out a lot sooner, knowing what they has been through.
It's sad to see such a legend go...

Half right.
@@ephemispriest8069bro youre really pathetic right now

The only way to conquer hate is with lots of love. Even if Jocat never returns I want him to know he made a positive impact on this world and people appreciated his laughter and creativity.

@@alexanderleonardi3625 That's insane and you don't mean that.
@@alexanderleonardi3625 I can understand how you feel - I detest bullies and bullying. Nothing on this Earth - and I do mean nothing - will enrage me to the point where I will burn down the world to stand up to people who prey on the peaceful. But taking that path can only buy you a short-term win at the expense of fueling the underlying problem. Sure, that can feel good at the moment, but even when you win that kind of battle, you prolong the war - and the problem is the war, not the immediate battle. I have come to believe that compassion, love, forgiveness, and altruism are the only real escape from the war, because wars by nature are zero-sum games that demand there must be a looser, and as long as there is a looser, there will always be a future battle to even things up - and as long as there is a battle in the future the war will trudge on. And while wars demand there be a loser, they seldom allow anyone to win.
I personally think systematic systems of hate are most quickly countered by a UGM-133A trident II submarine launched Nuclear ballistic missile.
But im willing to give this love thing a shot first:)
@@purplepenguin43 That's an interesting visual given I served in the US Navy on a warship that was capable of deploying nuclear weapons, as well as conventional ones (although I cannot confirm or deny that we ever carried nuclear weapons). While I cannot go into any detail, I assure you, that there is no pleasure whatsoever in using any weapons on other human beings, even when that is the only military option - despite how movies spin the story. What actually happens is the idea that you had a hand in ending other human lives stays with you - like it or not - for the rest of your life. After my honorable discharge, I spent 8 years working in non-profit healthcare driven by a need to do something good to balance my life so I could feel more normal. I commend your willingness to give the love thing a shot first, and I think you're doing yourself a solid in an area where frankly, I believe I failed. To be clear, I'm very grateful for everything I got from serving in the military, but it did also come at a price I was not fully able to see in my early 20s.
Well done for speaking out for JoCat and creators in general who deserve a lot more applause and appreciation than they might be getting. I hope you keep doing what you do and spread the love!
JoCat deserved so much better. That was a genuinely funny parody, and one of the few things I've liked. I vote that we flood that video with positivity.
You know what's annoying? This is so normal nowadays streamers/RUclipsrs being sent DEATH THREATS AND DOXXING ATTEMPTS yet everyone who does this get's away Scott free and it's annoying. You did something bad just because you don't like what they did? And you get away with?..... it's just not fair😢
Edit: thank God that everyone agrees with me on this statement. Cuz if a streamer/RUclipsr you like that you know is genuine and kind gets harassed over nothing is very much soul crushing.
Do you know what I find worse?
Every social media company tries to get data from us and censor what we do with the pretense of "protecting our feelings and what the little children watch", then this shit happens (or youtube kids) and no one does crap. Man, the internet is fucked up...
Tell that to SSSniperWolf
It's difficult to punish a mob of people online, you can only really rely on getting their consciences to go "woah, what I did was messed up." Otherwise, what can actually be done? Report accounts? That doesn't catch the many people who use alts and also requires they were explicitly aggressive; a chunk of people with a huge effect in these situations are also the gossipers who only say things that are *kind of* mean.
@@rogueobscura But WHY is it hard to punish a mob? Surely, there exists in this world of information and excess, adequate resources to find and hold accountable these individuals responsible. Don't you think it would be more accurate to say that, with effort and expense, one COULD uncover the identity/identities of those responsible, and hold them accountable, but that people simply lack the enthusiasm to do so? A collection of inadequate excuses, like, "it would be hard" or, "it would take too long" or "it wouldn't matter anyway, the damage is done"
The absolute truth to this matter is, society doesn't care about the little people, and that's a truth that cuts both ways. People often lament how a single vote, or the actions of one person, cannot meaningfully affect the world. But that same lack of power, becomes power in and of itself when utilized for ill. An individual with a thousand people in front of him can lob stones until their hands are calloused and bleeding. But, an individual standing in front of a thousand has a stone tossed over their shoulder from behind, you can consider that person guilty of all the mobs sins, and more.
Diffusion of responsibility is a problem we've yet to solve, that's for sure.
The saddest part is him leaving is going to let the awful people that bullied him off the the Internet are going to think they won and they can do it again. You cannot let these animals get to you.
Things.
Calling these things "animals" is an insult to animals.
I'm sorry, but people aren't going to suffer willingly just so you can be satisfied that the haters aren't winning. Nobody owes you suffering, let people rest.
@@ludekmaly3900
You are both correct.
OP is right that once you yield to these things who are terminally online, you give them the power trip that they get off on. Dregs who have no life outside of social media stop doing things once they realize you aren't going to bend to them and you ruin their power fantasy.
You're correct that JoCat has the right to leave the online sphere where those terminally online things are attacking him. The dregs are vicious and only getting more emboldened.

I got into Monster Hunter and learned so much about D&D because of JoCat. He is such an inspiration to me. I even bought one of his Gobbo plushies because I love and support his content that much. Every time I ever hug that little Witch Gobbo goblin plushie I am forever sending infinite love for JoCat. I wish we all could do so much more for him.
That vid might be cringe to some but the hatred he received is not only absurd but feels like an intentional attack on him personally.
Yeah, I agree that even if you didn’t find the video entertaining that is totally fine, but a sane person would just move on with their day and let it be. Harassing someone for over a year about it is pretty wild. I personally enjoyed the more structured style of a Crap Guide to D&D over his livestream content and recap videos.
And people he looked up to were part of the mob that went after him. Makes you wonder if people were just upset that he was getting more popular than them.

That's commonplace now, doxxing and death threats are many people's go-to reaction these days. Actually sending people packages to threaten them though, that's one I haven't seen very much. That seems far more dangerous for them than it does for him. All it takes is someone with the right skills and the same mindset being on the other side of the issue, and they don't have the protection of being a public figure. I didn't realize our species was quite *that* stupid.
tbf, jocat basically defended them doing it to the people playing/streaming hogwarts legacy. Pandering never works.
First time watching one of your videos. While it is obviously a tad different from your other content, I can show nothing but admiration for this video. Thank you for showing love in the community
JoCat is so freaking wholesome and positive I can't wrap my head around why anyone would bully or harass him. Just a complete mindscrew. Thanks for drawing attention to this.

I laughed so much the first time I've seen his Crap guide to DnD ^^"
I hope he will be take care of himself, some peple can really be destroyed by blind hatred
He was one of the only people I watched when I began playing DnD, and so many of my friends watched his videos with me. It really sucks how people on the internet take random funny things into the extreme.
I watched that video, enjoyed it, and then never thought about it again. Now it turns out people are harassing him over it? People are just awful sometimes . . .

The way I understand it, the line from the video "I like itty-bitty girls" was latched on to by Twitter-brained people who immediately associate it with pedophilia and suddenly think it's completely okay to do basically whatever horrible things they want to to the creator because it's "morally justified."

@@lootgoblinmarketplace To be fair, being unaware of whatever is happening on Twitter at any given moment is 200% better for your mental and spiritual well-being.
I love his guide to D&D! I use it every time I teach new players, love watching with them for the luls, and for their reactions. I'll even go back and watch them if I'm just feeling sad or un-inspired. (He's our bard with that extra d6. lol)
I hope he finds what he needs to be happy, and am sad to see him go.
Thanks for sharing this.
i love videos that talk about the situation with thumbnails and titles like this, hopefully enough things like this on the internet will make jocat feel loved, it sucks that people literally will just hate on someone for being a little campy
I want it made entirely clear on one point.
This wasn't unavoidable.
People *did this to him.*
Never allow that to be forgotten.
This precisely
A lot of people are sad to see him go
I am seething with rage at the fucking chimpanzees that put him through it
Yes
This was easily avoidable* by just:
a) Not posting cringe, or
b) Learning how to deal with the backlash
I still don't get why people are sad or whatever, He's better now that he's no longer on the Internet anyway, the haters will continue wasting their life here so I see that as an absolute W for him. Hope he never comes back, I do wish I could escape this hell too.
*Edit: I'm stupid and wrote Unavoidable instead of avoidable lol
@@GianniLeonhart theres a difference between "dealing with backlash" and "having your family threatened over a video"
@@GianniLeonhart fellas is it cringe to like women?
JoCat actually made it easier for me to understand the game, often when I read it from a book it gets jumbled up and i mix things up. but his crap guide actually gave a breakdown i could understand and it was hilarious. that little video i got a chuckle from because it was clear he was having fun! its horrific that someone would go so far to send possibly dangerous packages to someone's home!
I hope that JoCat manages to feel better about the whole situation as time goes on. It will be sad without him here but his own well being should always take priority. Perhaps we may hear from him again some day but until then if it does happen, we will be here with open arms and good wishes for him.
Jocat is an absolute legend. I would use his videos as a template to teach new people. Losing him over this is just bullcrap, but we're gonna miss him
This is just infuriating.
Some people just have no boundaries. Irl harassment over a funny video. Unbelievable
Cat is getting hate for saying "doxing harry potter players is ok"(paraphrase) on his twitter account. You've been played and you're spreading that misinformation.
@@Layarion would you mind providing a link to that?
youtube automatically deletes links. try googling "twitter jocat anyone shouting".
and just the above comment kept getting deleted when the i was trying to AtYourname into it. not very friendly environment to talking, especially since they don't even tell you that they deleted it.
@@Layarion So you can't provide any actual evidence and expect people to believe that RUclips is personally deleting a comment?
This ain't right: He's been nothing short of a great man who must have held up the whole of the D&D brand through sheer positivity, brought down by strangers with nothing better to do but attempt to ruin his life all over a video that shouldn't have offended any rational mind.
I can't even blame him for leaving, there are hundreds of demented creeps and savages online that have yet to meet cells a cozy cell block because who can keep track of them? I, like many of his fans, wish him safe well-being as he finishes his current projects, but it's sickenly disheartening how *this* is the reward for making art with the purpose of other people's enjoyment.
that is not even the half of it man if you search for the I like boy version animated video, there is no hate towards said video, just to add more to the point that you are making, and to the point that I think that since it was a MAN singing I like girls and not a WOMEN singign I like boys that he is getting this much hate, it ticks me off that now a days people get offended by atom's simply because 1 atom vibraited a itty bitty more then they like(its an analogy not a precise example XD)
"the people that are making fun of him are all people who ought to be in a jail cell"

@@eyegnieesllA no one said this. you're making this up. are you stupid?
@@eyegnieesllA you’re an evil monster
Don't say demented, my friends with dementia would NEVER do something this vile
Damn. 😔 He was the one of the first and favorite creators I watched when I was getting into DnD. Rest in piece my dude.
Jo Cat is the reason I got into dnd. It is through his work that I learned everything I know about dnd. His content has helped me through many hard days, and helped me laugh in many terrible times. There are many people who love Jo Cat, but because of the internet which is available for everyone he has had to suffer too much. We love you Jo Cat. Take time to heal and feel safe again. Even if you don't return know we love you, and I will remember and cherish your videos as long as I live!
I'm sorry, but WHO did Jocat look up to who'd so much as think about attacking him for that video?!
Well, the situation sucks regardless. I really hope he'll be okay.
In the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter. If they want it to be a thing, they'll make it a thing.
He's very liberal in his social views and those attacking him are the left wing extremists that are always looking for reasons to be offended and people to destroy in order to build up their egos. So it's probably people along the Hasanabi lane and the like that he agrees with on most things that are attacking him. It's probably hurting him that people he agrees with on most issues are trying to use him to clout chase by misinterpreting a funny little nothing skit he did as an attack on a "protected group" that he himself would have defended.
It's kind of sad, Jo's never been anything but nice to people in all the content he's made.
@katnerd6712 Honestly it's crazy, the left and liberalism moves more and more left, they treat anyone whom isn't an extremist as an enemy. Hopefully JoCat thinks about this in regards to his political views as a whole. The left an an ever consuming hate mob who eat their own.
@@katnerd6712 I suppose that makes sense, as sad as that is. I don't think there's much of anything admirable about Hasan and similar individuals to begin with, but oh well. I guess they were arguing that it's... objectifiying? Whatever, racking my brain about something stupid won't make me much smarter.
@@katnerd6712 dude, twitter lefties are NOT extremists. They are annoying and hurt people but their politics are very centrist-aligned
Jo Cat was a legend and a cornerstone in the community. The hate he has received was completely out of pocket and unnecessary. Our boy deserved better and he will be missed with a heavy heart.
jocat showed me the magic of dnd, and now i feel like a part of that magic is fading away with him.. the crap guide series will forever guide the newbies like nothing else could
Thank you for making this video, I might have missed the community post otherwise. I loved the Crap Guide to DnD and it helped me pick my first character in Baldur's Gate 3. So sad to hear this news from Jo, but I wish him and his family the best.
I know a few people have spoken out, and I wanted to share my own personal experience since JoCat’s Crap Guide videos inspired a lot of new character ideas.
I’m sure that JoCat’s video will continue to inspire new D&D players even if he stops uploading.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Absolutely a shame that he's leaving and it's reprehensible that people treated him that way.
Thanks Twitter for ruining yet another thing we had so good. Jo shouldn't have to leave, but if this is the best move for his own sanity, I'm not holding it against him. Dude deserves the best.
maybe next time someone sows they will remember when Jo had to reap
@@DCPTF2
What are you talking about? Are you talking about how we live in a period of time where if you put anything out on the Internet doesn’t matter how safe it is or how it’s just for simple enjoyment you’re going to get raked over the coals because a couple people get offended and then go crazy? Also crazy in this sense is sending death threats and trying to send packages of God knows what to people that are just related.
@@DCPTF2 sows what? Creative joke content that was made on a whim with no intent to offend anyone? :P
@@DCPTF2
When that kind of people do, they shall only smile
You do not know how awful some people can be
@@DCPTF2 agreed. It's hypocritical. Supporting the same thing happening to people streaming a damn game. But when it happens to him, boohoo how could they?
I remember Jocat from his Crap Guide to Monster Hunter videos that I absolutely ADORED, when the DnD videos came out it was a match made in heaven.
Ugh it's like a rock in my heart that I'll stop seeing him around, one of my favorite all time creators.
I really really hope that all this stuff blows over and he feels safe enough to come back.
Jocat is the dude my roommate told me to watch to get a funny but still helpful idea on how to play a dnd class. I even showed my buddy his videos cuz they can make anyone laugh even if they dont care for dnd. Sad to hear hes taking a break. We will be here waiting for u someday jocat ❤
I'm one of those "outside of the target audience" people. And I loved that video, it was so great! And even though other videos and content didn't click with me, Jo got a nice place in my head. It's very sad that he got bullied off the Internet.
That last part "I'm sorry for causing so much trouble." is so fucking sad.
My guy, you caused no trouble. The haters that wish they were as creative as you are what caused trouble. You're a wonderful person that does not deserve the hate you got from the loud, violent minority. We wish you the absolute best and hope to see you again, but you prioritize what you need to right now.
I'd watched the video from JoCat, and I'm not going to lie, it really brightened my day!! Like, I was having a really crappy day, and one of my friends had actually recommended JoCat to me, and had shared the link to the video, and from the moment that I'd watched it, my overall mood had did a complete 180, and it was a huge pick-me-up!! JoCat's literally the BEST that I've seen in a LONG time!!
Sorry to say this is the first video of your's that I have seen but the message is exactly right, it's ashame people can't just be who they are and not be harassed. Love should be universal and hate should not be shared. I will check out some more of your videos! Thanks for putting the love out! Happy New Year!
We will miss you JoCat.
But we will never forget you, you inspired us all.
JoCat's drunk livestream is all anyone should ever need to see to know how much of a wholesome cinnamonroll of a guy he is. It's very sad to see that there is a group of assholes out there who want to ruin such a nice dude and I hope he's able to be successful wherever he lands after this and he can take the time to recover and come back once this all blows over.
he encourages doxxing and harassment of people who play games he doesnt like
@@calliewickham7551cut the cap.
@@calliewickham7551 are you going to provide any justification for that statement, or do you just expect us to accept that as fact?
@@the_dark_jumper2211 I will quote word for word the tweet they are referencing now./ anyone shouting “what about the harassment” is taking the topic of conversation and focus away from the main issue: Trans people are still in danger./ I should also note that he denounced harassing people right afterwards. But this was during the Hogwarts Legacy drama, where people were doxxing others for supporting HL, and in turn the author.
If you need more info, just google “Jo at hogwarts legacy controversy”
maaaaaaan it's gonna suck without JoCat around. it breaks my heart to see him leave because of these pathetic bullies who can't get their tiny pp's up without putting others down.
i wish JoCat only the best. he's a precious bean and ima miss him and i'm definitely not crying
I don’t know if there will ever be another series truly like it, it’s so sad he’s leaving. But I’m happy he’s thinking about his own mental health.
Also, the people who harassed him and his family are some of the worst kinds of people!
The hell is wrong with people, I hope he comes back.
For over two years, the comment section of that video was either “How can a guy make liking girls look so gay” or people spamming those unfunny status memes like “Where’s Jetstream/Vergil/Armstrong” or copy-pasting the lyrics of their themes.
Two. Goddamn. Years. And then this happens. Hate really does stem from brainrot.
Where is he? He was there all along and they couldn't see it until it was too late. You never know what you have until it's gone. 😿
Honestly, if it were just the gay comments and the revengeance status comments it wouldn't be that bad. The problem is the doxxing, the actual harassment.
I feel like the shitposty comments does not equate to the awful doxing and threats
to be fair it does look like liking girls is kinda gay ahahaahha but i would never comment that, i liked the bit and there were iconic cherecters in there for me even tho i dont play videogames anymore, its sad this level of brain rot
I am a brainrot machine and i thought about that video "thats a nice way of saying you have diverse and cultured tastes" and thats it.
Its more so terminally online people tend to blow out of proportion all any small details
thank you for making this video. its so wrong what they did to jocat , when I loved all his videos.
I Like Girls was definitely a piece of amazing art, definitely a good introduction to Jo.
I really don't understand the hate he got from the parody song. I loved the song as a lesbian! It resonated within me.
I will really miss Jo's content, it always managed to brighten my day. I can only hope that one day he will come back.
Homophobes and Transphobes and Bigots have nothing better to do than attack positive features in our lives.
Well there's a very good reason: Because it had nothing to do with the video itself.
The people "outside his target audience," as you can see from the few comments on that video, are bigots. Just people hating that he's an LGBT+ ally and himself openly not gender conforming.
Now, you wouldn't understand this if not for this correction because a lot of channels like this one and DnD shorts, well, they have bigots in their audience and they don't want to alienate them by shaming them for their harassment. Sure, Jocat's the literal victim of hate crimes, but they gotta protect their bottom line, y'know? Even if it means focusing on the video itself, inadvertently putting the blame on Jocat.
I thought it was a bit goofy, and maybe a bit cringy. But it was ultimately harmless and well animated video.
I still don’t understand why he got dogpiled, he didn’t do anything wrong.
@@fudgen.a1249 the original song he was parodying came under a lot of fire as well. There is a small but dedicated group of people who get violent over anything that they see as challenging their status quo.
@@fudgen.a1249 He was "dogpiled", as you said, because Rethuglicans have brainwashed their masses into thinking anyone that isn't a straight white male is to be abhored and even straight white females are only to be used for breeding more straight while males and straight while females for more breeding.
This was the only thing I ever saw from Jocat, and as someone practicing animation as a passion, I loved it, and it even made me more comfortable with myself and my sexuality, its sad to see this is what he got for it.
Your username made me smile. I hope you have an excellent day.
@@rebeccacarr5154 Thank you, I hope you have a great day to.
I love JoCat! His Crap Guide to D&D videos got me into TTRPGs! I feel so bad that he had to go through this…
As a Monster Hunter fan, a Legend has gone, and I can confirm the entire monster hunter community wep the day he left
If you look for something to be offended by, you will be offended. Why you'd ever choose to be awful, miserable, and sensitive human beings is your problem, not everyone else's.
I wish Jocat the best with whatever he chooses to do but I hope he does come back
If he could keep his disgusting politics out of his content I would welcome him back and actually watch it again. Shame it happened this way, but not sad to see him gone.
@@ephemispriest8069what?
Like, are you talking about the trans charity event he is doing?
@@henriquemedranosilva7142 Not current on him, but I was specifically talking about the one he did with the FFXIV raid.
@ephemispriest8069 dude, are you getting mad because a youtuber made a charity event?
And, I would like to add, his other videos outside of the charity events don't include nothing (or almost nothing) about trans people. So he generally does keep his politics outside of his conten
@@henriquemedranosilva7142 Yeah, silly me for not liking child abuse.
While I'm sad, good for him. He clearly didn't enjoy doing it anymore.
I do agree that Jocat made the right decision. I’ll miss the content but I don’t want them to be miserable.
@@lootgoblinmarketplaceI mean I hate to break it to you but that just means he’s going to need to get another job he’ll probably hate even more. I think there’s no way out for him.
Who says he can't find something he'll enjoy? People do that all the time.
@@marcar9marcar972He has a Portfolio open to the public.
What Designer company wouldn't want him?
That's the thing about artists, they display their work, and can receive recognition, good or bad.
To be fair I think that was a significant factor and the harassment was just the push (cause to be fair, it is Twitter and overly sensitive people you’ll never win against and that lose all power when you ignore them).
Cause to be honest, he has been a lot less active for a long time, so I think this may just be a good enough excuse for him to move on. Because I haven’t even heard of hate of his parody song until this very video.
Alas, I'm sorry about JoCat and I wish JoCat would be okay.
ive never played dnd, i wanna try it, and now im really sad that people like this get hated. He helped me pick my class and other stuff
Felix Frosthorn Gives his respects
also a bot keeps liking my comments, please help
This is why I haven't logged into my Facebook for almost 4 years now. Beginning of covid with all the hate and spreading of fear, social media is a playground for scammers and trolls to hide behind their screen and just cause troubles. So I hope the break JoCat takes helps him with all these problems.
The video/song that caught him so much flack brought me so much laughter it brought me out of a dark space. I sent it to my now current girlfriend that "i like girls" video when she asked me what kind of girl i like when we were just talking on a dating app.
JoCat is awesome, always will be awesome.
Man I didn't know that Jocat was going to leave the youtube scene. Been so busy this holiday that I didn't notice. I really enjoyed his content and it's sad that eventually he will leave for good. I hope to also someday see his stuff cause his content always gave me a good laugh. It's too bad cause some crappy people had to harass him and his family that we don't get to enjoy his content after awhile. :
I even found him trough that little clip, and it was just a fun little clip with great animation. It's a shame that such innocent thing could spark such hate.
Jocat is bigger than Crap Guide! He's a great creator, he has an excellent ear and mind for music; his songs and musical animations are the best things he's done.
We'll miss you, Jo.
Fuck the haters. All of them.

I hope so too!

Oh thank god, I was afraid he passed away or something.

I swear I wouldn't have actually found happiness and my obsession with dnd without his series. I was at that kind of low point. It was a scary thing to learn at first and it looks overwhelming until you see that series.
aw man... i literally just discovered them and was like "oo this is a cool person" and of course horrible people gotta be horrible...
I love Jocat and I have similar memories of sharing those crap guide videos with all my friends getting into DnD. It's very upsetting that he's been harassed for a cute 30 sec video, he seems like the sweetest guy in the world and is the least deserving person of online harassment. I hope he's able to recover from this and is able to continue doing what he loves in a safe environment.
I paused your video to go watch I liked girls again I hope I remember to come back and watch the full video
We will never forget the contribution of Joecat. Legends never die. They become a part of us. I hope him and his family will forever be well. I hope that someday he will return. No one should Get Bullied off of doing what they love to do.
Jocat is one of the most Queer positive people ever. How could anyone ever believe he meant harm. I'm so sad to hear this happened and upset that people targeted someone who did not deserve it.
It was "Friendly Fire", the very people he supports turned on him the moment they realized that he wasn't gay.
@@SockieTheSockPuppet ....that's dumb. I support him and will continue to anytime I see his username
@DaxVerus It is indeed dumb. But unfortunately that is the company that he ended up choosing to keep. That's not me saying that he deserves it, he absolutely doesn't. But that being said, I really don't understand how he never once thought that supporting and associating with people who brutally attacked Pikamee wouldn't bite him at a later date. (For context, despite what people are spreading around here, this was not "right wing" anything - the person who started up these attacks against Jocat is literally the same person that started the attacks against Pikamee).
@@DaxVerusBoth dumb and bullshit, Sockie is either hard trolling or deliberately spreading misinformation, Jocat got heavy harassment from transphobes thanks to his charity events and people harassed him over the "I like girls" video because he was "cringe and looked gay".

He literally got me into DnD as a hobby, why on Earth do people consider his videos problematic?
The whole point of the Lizzo parody was about supporting and appreciating women of all types, that’s like the nicest thing you could say about women
We live in a world where expressing your identity at all is seen as problematic, and this isn’t the world I want to strive for
Because it’s kinda gay, and gay is all sorts of horrible things
I 100% agree with the last point, I’ve had my life threatened over smaller (thankfully it was by people who couldn’t find a way to doxx me)
what a bummer i love jo cat and that videos is so good. people need to chill tf out. but if this is what he wants and whats best for him then i support it ❤
This is me, showing you some love. I don't watch your videos often, but when I do, you greatly help me work out the problems I have with my campaigns by inspiring new ideas and a different way to view it. I would like to wish Jocat the best, as his crap guides got me both into monster hunter and being a DM. I hope you have a wonderful new year and that you give the haters nothing to chew on. Keep calm and roll for initiative
The people doing this are sick. It was a fun video, but they just take it and twist it to go after a person they have never met. There really needs to be consequences for some of this shit.
30 seconds posted 3 years ago, that's all it took.
We live in a world so lost in it's own pathos being humane is becoming a novelty.
It's really sad to hear about this. I only recently found jocat's channel and watched a few videos. I enjoyed what I saw. To think that people bullied and hated on him for literally nothing is just jarring. I hope those people get the same treatment one day.
I would never have started playing D&D without JoCat. Guy literally changed (and in many ways, saved) my life. To hear that the wack jobs of the internet are about to pull another good soul away from us boils my blood. Hope you're happy ass hats. Good job.
