My younger friends all talk about this Jerma person like he’s some kind of mythical entity. An eldritch being that cannot be explained for any attempt at explanation inevitably fails.
I am confused. From what I could gather he’s like… A streamer? Content creator?
Jerma is an SCP that has escaped containment. It is currently on the loose and to be considered highly dangerous. Close contact with Jerma should be reported to your local SCP facility immediately.
More seriously, he is a content creator/streamer. I would also consider him a comedian, he is pretty entertaining and highly unpredictable.
All content creators are entertainers - the good ones are well aware that it’s basically just a long form performance art.
streamers fall into two camps: “performance artists”, and “filming yourself farting into an echoing pipeline, laughing so hard at the sound that you uncontrollably wheeze and sob for a solid 5 minutes, and repeating until you have to go eat dinner”
If the latter kind of streamer has a solid audience then they’ve found a niche… even if it’s juvenile.

He’s a fantastic video game streamer. Very charismatic, genuine, and funny. I think one of the things that makes him special is he’ll do ridiculous things for a joke. If he thinks of a funny idea on the fly, sometimes he’ll basically stop playing whatever game he was supposed to be streaming, and just do something else stupid instead.
For example, one time he performed a “magic trick” by unplugging his modem and then plugging it back in, using the time in between when the stream was frozen to run out of the room, making it look like he “disappeared”. He would do insane, hilarious stuff like that regularly, it wasn’t like he had special streams where he did things like that, he did them all the time.
Of course he ALSO did special streams where he went even further, such as the “doll house” stream where he had a whole set made up like a fake house and basically became a Sims character with needs bars and everything. He’s a really special guy, and you could spend all day listing all of his amazing feats. He perfectly walks the line between being actually stupid in a funny way, and playing it up as a character, it’s convincing enough that it all just becomes “Jerma”, but he is also a genuinely good guy.
For example, one time he performed a “magic trick” by unplugging his modem and then plugging it back in, using the time in between when the stream was frozen to run out of the room, making it look like he “disappeared”.

Unplugging your modem is insane and hilarious?
Man the youth today are easily amused.
truly amazing feats
wait until you see him use a keyboard. he pushes W and everything!
I bet he can’t press W and m1 at the same time!
Thats only reserved for the TF2 elite Pyros.
Thats relatively tame, he’s done more ridiculous stuff than that, but it is creative and funny in an “industry” where most streamers just play a game straightforwardly and don’t “cut loose” in quite the same way. I’m just habitually hyperbolic.
I also don’t want to spoil the best things he’s done, half the fun of watching Jerma is discovering those things.
Like we wouldn’t have laughed at that in the 80s or 90s provided the tech existed?
Sounds a bit like DougDoug.
Well, they are friends after all and at least collabed for the shuffler stream afaik
Jerma? How about Jermaballs. hue hue hue hue
If ya balls are jerma you should disinfectha.
You right. Jerma does leave my balls with a strange smell…
I thought it was a joke. I didn’t this was an actual person.
God I wish Jerma was real
Hrm… how do we know that you aren’t Jerma, huh!? :-P
Hrm, that doesn’t remind me of Momo like at all… but even so I searched for a different one and found this:
This guy seems totally safe to be around kids, sure why not? :-P
a goblin that must be stopped at all cost
(OP is Jerma secretly advertising theirself.)
God I wish I was a famous person. Even a profoundly weird one like that sdjksjdklsjad
The most non-editorialized response I can give is he’s a streamer.
The most editorialized response I can give is, well, watch this.
He taught us all that life is pain, and that he hates hi-
I tangentially know of Jerma because a streamer I watch is decent friends of his, and this post is so on-point it’s hilarious
Why can’t I create an Out Of The Loop community?
You’ll need to have an account on an instance that allows community creation.
I have a lemmy.world account specifically to create communities, I then give my actual account modding rights and that’s how I do stuff.
Once you do, hit me up. I’m sure I can both answer AND ask questions. Keep it alive.
Do it on an instance that allows you
