These things about Mister Metokur are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

• Acceptable Targets: For Jim, "cucks", "soy boys", "beta males" and what he considers weak men in general who let people walk all over them (especially women) are also a very frequent target for Metokur’s mockery, albeit in a light-hearted manner and not in a caustic way, which he reserves for genuine scummy people.
• Alternate Character Interpretation:
  • Does Mister Metokur choose to remain as anonymous as he does simply because that’s his style and its part of his appeal, or does he do it to protect himself and his loved ones from the sometimes truly deranged people and groups he mocks?
  • Is Jim The Gadfly who flits about the internet annoying the overly-serious and mocking those who deserve to be mocked? Or is he "A Pigeon playing Chess" who knocks over the pieces, shits on the board and then unironically claims victory?
  • Does Jim make videos on people because he thinks they deserve to be taken down a peg? Or does he make videos on people because he thinks it will be funny/popular?
  • Considering the fact that he openly claims to give white supremacists, transphobes and other questionable views attention and exposure (both positive and negative) in his videos arguing "free speech", combined with several "edgy" quips he's made which are outright racist and has actually defended racist incidents. Is he in reality a covert racist / white supremacist?
  • There are some amongst his followers who don't take his cancer reveal at face value, and instead speculate that Jim simply lost interest on making videos and streams after being hit with several de-platformings and de-monetizations.
• Broken Base: Naturally Jim himself qualifies as this due to his online activities and the type of content he produces. While many people view him as a funny and talented entertainer who also occasionally exposes legitimately sick and deranged individuals for the world to see, others view him as nothing more than a bully who goes after weak people who can’t defend themselves.
  • There's also a perspective that casts doubt over the legitimacy and accuracy of his claims, particularly about fellow youtubers, that holds the view that Jim is willing to misrepresent or outright lie about people that he takes a dislike towards, and that he's more involved in some of the drama that he talks about than he lets on (see: Internet Bloodsports).
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • On the 4th episode of Deviants, Jim mocks the people leading the "diaper jihad" against his channel by showing a screen cap of YouTube claiming that his videos don’t fall under hate speech as they claimed, thus he was able to get his 3rd episode put back on the channel. By the latter half of 2019 YouTube actually purged Jim's videos from the website as hate speech (see Once-Acceptable Targets below).
  • During his TGWTG videos, Jim points out that he didn’t have enough material to work with regarding other creators from the website and saved some of the controversy for the finale video. Had Jim waited until 2018 with the rise and controversy of the #ChangeTheChannel movement, he would’ve had more ammunition to work with.
  • During the period of December 2019 - February 2020, Jim made several streams poking fun at the then-endemic-to-China Coronavirus outbreak, saying how screwed everyone would be if it spread to the U.S. and the rest of the Western world and joked about how he's been preparing a bunker and stockpiling provisions and weapons to self-isolate if that happens, well... Unsurprisingly, he stopped doing streams since March 2020, and his activity has been greatly reduced barring a few guest appearances on other people's livestreams.
  • Jim's frail health was nicknamed as "CancerAids" by his fans, until it was revealed in the summer of 2020 that he had actually been diagnosed with Stage III Indolent Lymphoma (literally a blood cancer that causes autoimmune conditions).
• Most Wonderful Sound: Jim’s laugh is this for many people.
• Once-Acceptable Targets:
  • Transgender people have consistently been targets of Jim's criticism and mockery, which played a big part in YouTube purging his videos from the website, his Patreon account terminated and Twitter to ban his main account.
  • Also people who engage in Polyamory have been extensively mocked and derided by Jim.
• Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: Despite their main focus being providing laughs and entertainment, Mister Metokur's videos do oftentimes contain valuable life lessons one can apply in their own life, mainly derived from the glorious fuckups made by the people and groups he covers.
  • A recurring lesson from many of Jim’s videos is that if someone makes fun of you online, you should react in one of three ways: ignore them, laugh along with them, or use it as a means to better yourself. What you shouldn’t do is lash out at the people making fun of you, or abuse Terms of Service to try and take them off the Internet. It never works out in your favor, and only serves to validate the trolls and gives them more ammunition to use against you. Examples of people finding this out the hard way are MundaneMatt, KrautandTea, and many of the DeviantArt communities.
  • From his Nick Bate and Jonathan Ross videos: if someone is going around bragging about doing something abhorrent, or constantly throwing out red flags indicating that they will do something illegal, it's probably best to take it seriously and make sure they are dealt with accordingly. Because either they will almost certainly do something illegal (in Ross' case), or they would have actually done something illegal (in Nick’s case).
  • From "TGWTG Episode 3" (on Lewis Lovhaug): Never make an account on a porn site. If you feel that you absolutely must, do not use the exact same account name on all of them. It WILL come back to haunt you, and then everyone will know your various fetishes, including how much you want to jack off to the Green M&M.
  • From his videos on Angry Joe, The Spoony Experiment and Wings Of Redemption: always respect your fans and be sure to not take advantage of their generosity and goodwill, because they are both finite. There’s only so much BS your fans will take before they abandon you all together (in Spoony’s case) or resort to trolling you (in Angry Joe's and Wings of Redemption's case).
  • From "Internet Insanity, Terry A. Davis": real mental illness, especially when untreated, ruins your life and prevents you from being taken seriously ever again, no matter how talented you may be.
  • From "Internet Insanity, Randy Stair": Mass-shooters should be mocked and ridiculed, instead of being given deference and put on a pedestal. Because when they’re the ass-end of every joke, no-one will want to emulate them.
  • From "Metokur in the Morning - Sped Dating", if a dorky momma’s boy like Joey can get an ENTIRE room of girls to give him their numbers and want to date him, then there’s hope for just about anyone. You CAN get a girlfriend if you apply yourself.
    • Also: if you’re chubby, don’t wear a midriff exposing outfit that draws attention to the fact that you’ve got a bit of weight to you. You’ll genuinely end up looking worse than if you had covered up.
  • From the Tumblrisms episode about Headmates: don't fake a mental illness—especially a debilitating one like schizophrenia or DID—just for the sake of feeling more special or getting attention. All that will accomplish is spreading misinformation that is potentially damaging to actual sufferers of the disorder, as well as the uninformed laypeople looking to understand it better. Plus when it gets found out that you're lying (and it's not "if", it's "when" if you keep it up), you're going to be mercilessly pilloried from all sides for your abhorrent behavior.
  • From "Internet Tough Guy: The Story of Tonka Trucks": No one is impressed by Internet Tough Guy behavior. You look like a complete idiot challenging everyone to fights. Plus, in the rare case someone actually does take you up on your offer for a fight, any option ends up with the same bad outcome. You'll either have to put your ass on the line and likely lose, which means you'll get mocked; or sheepishly back down and reveal to the world that you're a complete coward and a liar, which means you'll get mocked.
  • Be careful what you post online, especially how much of your personal life you expose to the world. If you're not careful, you may end up destroying your life, your career, and everything you’ve built up with a single social media post. Pro Jared learned this fact the hard way.
    • On a slightly less serious note: don't post pictures of your penis anywhere. Just don't. It never ends well, and it's just an invitation to get mocked into oblivion.
  • From Metokur’s stream covering BuntyKing’s "I’m a Cuck (Let’s Talk)" video: NEVER tolerate being cheated on, disrespected, or forced to compromise on your ideals by your partner. Groveling at your partner's feet and putting then on a pedestal will never win over somebody who is clearly taking advantage of you. You need to respect yourself enough to walk away from a toxic relationship and find someone who genuinely loves you for you.
  • From "Howard S. Schneider: World’s Worst Dentist": It’s not only morally unprofessional for a dentist to abuse children during their operations and to also take advantage of their patients who can’t afford better because of their insurance plan, but it’s also appalling for a large dental organization to ignore the concerns of the parents complaining, all while promoting said dentist as their top recommended one in their area in the process, and the concerns of worried parents shouldn’t be ignored.
