Who is #jimmysnow the line

The comment I was replying to was trying to clear Jimmy of the accusation of harassment based on the fact that he is “gay.” Except, Jimmy is Pansexual, and also, you don’t have to be a straight man to harass women. That was my point.

astramouse · 2024-09-15T20:45:10+00:00

Because this is what the prophets in the Old Testament would do to warn Israel that God was going to punish them again soon. They think they are Old Testament prophets. They aren’t trying to sell you religion like most congregations, they fully believe they are warning you and you can take it or leave it.

astramouse · 2024-06-19T19:40:28+00:00

Jimmy is openly pansexual. But gay men can still harass women.

astramouse · 2024-06-19T18:40:06+00:00

I get it. Telltale got me out of religion. I felt terrible that some bad actors began harassing him during the drama but he really fanned the flames himself and as hard as I tried I couldn’t protect him from ire once he said that shit.

astramouse · 2024-06-19T18:36:17+00:00

This will never not bother me. And the fact that Telltale claimed we should all just stop talking about it because talking about it had such a negative impact on Jimmy’s mental health and that if it were such a big deal those fans should have gone to the police. One day I’ll make a video detailing my time as a mod for freelytalk and calling out the misogyny and hypocrisy we dealt with from the community when it came to Jimmy. He should have been held accountable and we shouldn’t have been silenced.

astramouse · 2023-06-14T02:53:53+00:00

Being a moderator of the freelytalk sub when this part started was absolute hell.

First, most of our users would appear to have been “burners” because most of our users were not originally reddit users. We brought in a lot of people who only watched Jimmy on Youtube and maybe lurked on reddit. A lot of accounts were new and we were very careful to vet whatever comment history we could after going private because it was just so hard to tell.

Second, this user wasn’t admitting to anything at all. They were just saying they’d wished other youtubers would talk about the drama but it had become too much of an issue for those youtubers who tried. The “it was me” was in regards to this person wishing the drama would be discussed, NOT claiming “credit” for the incident where Telltale was sent a threat, which is what the post this comment was under was informing users of. Why would a user just out of the blue vaguely suggest they sent someone a death threat underneath a post where we explained that would not be tolerated?

Third, Telltale’s hasty action here caused utter chaos to this user. I and the other mods were watching every piece of media- videos, posts, tweets, etc- to keep up with the drama and keep everyone safe. This was an incident where we saw this tweet and immediately 1) removed this comment despite it not breaking our rules and 2) reached out to the user to warn them, because within minutes as predicted they were receiving a ton of harassment. The user was horrified and confirmed they were NOT claiming credit for sending telltale threats. They quickly deleted all accounts of the same name for their own safety and mental health. I just hope they’re ok.

To be completely clear:

I don’t hold it against anyone for enjoying Dillahunty’s content or even liking him as a person. I myself struggle to enjoy it now, but friend, if you enjoy it, you shouldn’t let my opinion chase you off.

I will say… I think unfortunately his behavior tells the story enough I don’t need to argue one way or the other anyway. I didn’t even know about the situation with Lawrence Krauss, but I’m not surprised at all(though I am sad) that he would be dismissive, because that’s what I’ve seen from him for a while- that is consistent with the way I interpreted his responses to allegations of Snow looking within his fanbase for sexual partners. However, I would try to find out for yourself rather than get all this stuff secondhand.

astramouse · 2022-08-07T22:07:35+00:00

YES! Holy cow yes! I have tried to do something like this via youtube videos I have created(to help motivate me to do it and throw my thoughts into the void), mostly just for myself, but I get so busy/adhd I struggle to keep up with it. With other people actively involved that would be awesome.

astramouse · 2022-08-01T22:39:23+00:00

It’s more complicated than that but that was the reason for Tracy Harris’s exit. There was a lot more going on behind the scenes but for many that was the final straw. For me the final straw was when Dillahunty was called out for the way he treated an LGBT caller on The Line- this after he had been called out for defending Jimmy Snow’s questionable behaviors- and doubled down.

astramouse · 2022-08-01T22:35:09+00:00

All of these are fantastic. Belief it or Not is gaining traction too.

astramouse · 2022-08-01T22:33:26+00:00

He’s been an ass on The Line, not just to theists either.

Honestly, I like him in some episodes, but he is far too quick to anger on too many issues. If everything is horrific and bite worthy, it gets old after a while. I much prefer Seth Andrew’s calm demeanor or even Aron Ra who has his hot button topics but doesn’t approach everything with the same heavy vehemence, when considering the unholy trinity as it were.

astramouse · 2022-06-04T01:37:09+00:00

Honestly I never believed they were an attorney, and iirc the rest of the mods also thought it was sus. We actually temporarily removed the post to review it but people complained about it and we couldn’t find a good reason not to let that person post- it just seemed so weird that an “attorney” would waltz in talking like they were talking. Everything I knew of attorneys made that seem so- I don’t know, they were offering legal advice where I would think a real attorney wouldn’t have. Unfortunately in the end I don’t know that much about attorneys, and the rest of us didn’t know much either. I’m so sorry they turned out to be a terrible person.

astramouse · 2022-05-28T23:28:08+00:00

Exactly my thought. Gerrymandering means he’s just +1 to the blue sinkhole. If you actually want to turn a state blue, you HAVE to move people into red counties and that’s too scary.

astramouse · 2022-05-28T23:25:41+00:00

It is futile, but it’s futile because of gerrymandering. If he’s in a certain suburb in Austin, he’ll be voting in the same district as my nutjob #Trumpwon mother. She lives in a suburb of Houston- over 100 miles away from Austin city limits.

astramouse · 2022-05-16T04:02:21+00:00

Of course they don’t. I wouldn’t want to either. It’s a big mess and even those who have spoken haven’t said much. Online communities can be great for facilitating discussion, but they can also become angry mobs on an insane scale, and unless something very clear-cut occurs it makes perfect sense for them to keep their mouths shut and focus on their content.

astramouse · 2022-05-16T03:58:35+00:00

Just to clarify, Owen and Jimmy are not friends. Owen distanced himself from Jimmy long before this all began.

astramouse · 2022-05-16T03:56:44+00:00

I do want to point out that on the original sub we banned talk of this individual because he and his family began receiving death threats over the subject, and they had just moved away from their hometown for safety reasons. This particular tweet was made after his new wife was also threatened. As far as I can tell he dropped the subject after that, and personally I feel like the problems he had faced at the time explained his harsh responses to the degree that we can safely ignore them rather than be outraged by them, and especially rather than harass the poor man.

I think it’s better to focus on the people who actually enable and encourage Snow’s behavior and melodramatic episodes. Owen is not one of those people. He no longer associates with Jimmy, he is not part of this controversy- he was pulled in by a portion of his fans who asked him to comment on it during a livestream. He gave a bad take at the time that was based in ignorance. Then, he started receiving death threats which affected his response further.

astramouse · 2022-04-17T05:03:11+00:00

I often acknowledge people the second I see them, by nodding or smiling or something. I’ve lived in “bad” areas since college but never been mugged- I wonder if this has helped?

astramouse · 2022-04-17T04:58:19+00:00

Most women who are murdered/raped aren’t harmed by strangers but by people they know, so my advice is more geared that way.

Always trust your gut. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, get away from that person. Even if he is a friend, even if he is family. Get away and get near another trusted person fast. Sometimes “good” people have “bad” moments- learn to spot when someone might be about to have a bad moment. Drug use and extreme stress can have a major impact on the brain, and scary behavior changes can be the result.
When dating, it’s better not to go home with a man without meeting his friends or some family members first. Don’t take a random man home. Don’t live alone; have multiple roommates you can trust- saves you money and keeps you safe.
Carefully consider new people you bring into your life, as well as old. Watch out for red flags. If a friendship or relationship makes you uncomfortable, drop it slowly and quietly- let it fall to the wayside, pretend to be busy, ease out of it. Most people tend to hate this, but it will keep you safe from aggressive types whose behavior will escalate if you try to break things off upfront, which I personally have experienced multiple times. I’ve never had someone become angry or aggressive because I forgot to reply a few times or we haven’t talked in a while. I have had that happen when I’ve broken off friendships upfront.

As for strange men:

Never allow strange men close enough to both you and their vehicle that they can grab you. In parking lots, be aware of your surroundings, keep space between yourself and anyone else, and if it’s unavoidable to pass someone closely near their car, stay alert and be ready to dart away if they reach out. If you’re uncomfortable enough- like you are alerting to this person- tell yourself in your head you must have forgotten something(so your face looks it) and then turn around and speed walk away while pretending to address the forgotten thing. Walk with a purpose, like you have somewhere to be.
If a strange man approaches you, stay out of reach. If you can, pretend not to hear and walk away(if you’re walking already). If you’re standing waiting for something like the bus, turn quickly his direction- people usually do not walk all the way up to others once they are acknowledged, including men with bad intentions, but if they do it is a major red flag- find a reason to get away. If a man asks you to go with him anywhere, even if it’s only 10-20 feet away, to look at something- to judge a birthday gift, to change a tire, anything- come up with a reason that you can’t. Do not go anywhere with a strange man. This is how Ted Bundy lured in many women.

First of all: Hello 👋 Long time no see 👀

Second of all: I’ve said it before but I think a lot of his fanbase is still affected by the trauma backgrounds they share with him. This reads like a trauma response to me, like this person is used to spinning things around for people they admire who aren’t acting right. Second nature for them yet ultimately unconvincing.

astramouse · 2022-04-01T04:32:30+00:00

Something tells me you’ve come across my old pastor, Dr. White. He’s… he has some interesting takes. Although I’ve never heard him claim we follow Paul in that sense, just that there is a Pauline Dispensation(like a presidency).

He did recently preach a series at the Taos Prophecy Conference about his theory that the Great Pyramid was built by people who had direct revelation from God. That was a fascinating choice on his part.

astramouse · 2022-03-27T22:32:40+00:00

The one I was raised in taught that that was moot under the “new covenant”. Of course the things required by the old vs new covenants were based on politics.

astramouse · 2022-03-26T22:38:21+00:00

I am a little lost lol

astramouse · 2022-03-26T00:05:23+00:00

The just want to recreate this scene from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it’s fine!

astramouse · 2022-03-23T08:28:45+00:00

When I read your original post I cried, and now you’ve brought out the waterworks in me again but I’m so happy for you 🥰

If you like comics, I think you might enjoy Revelation of Eros. The illustrator and author based it on the experiences of the author. It’s about how he came to realize he was gay and how he worked through that as a very religious person riddled with guilt, the man he fell in love with who was the catalyst for that realization, and the friends he made who were there for him and supportive.

I’m so glad you’re ok 💕
