This will be my final public upload before my indefinite hiatus. The final part of my BG3 playthrough as well as the remaining sessions of Heart of Elynthi will be added unlisted in their respective playlists once their editing is complete so those who are invested wont be left in suspense and without closure. When all of those are finished, I will make one final community post to notify any who may have missed them, but until then, there will be no further activity from this channel indefinitely. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. Happy New Year.
JoCat its not your fault you did nothing wrong! You dont have to appologize becuse you posted something! You cant make eweryone happy, and from what i can understand people that got mad dont ewen watch your channel. Thats how i understood it... i'm not shure...
If you ever decide to come back, your community will welcome you with open arms. Thanks for all the laughs you have given over the years. Be well. Take care of yourself.
That's the harsh reality we live in. The human mind and emotions works in a way were postitivity and compliments can only boost your happiness, but negativity and insults usually hits like a truck. 1 negative thing can overwhelm 10 positive things. JoCat didn't deserve any of those "trolls" and whichever they did it to harm or thought it was a fun gag was neither ever appropriate. I wish JoCat a bright future and hope that perhaps he can find true happiness with either us, his community, or whatever he may find in the future. Either way i hope he finds happiness.
Thank you for everything, jocat. I'm so sorry that people would have bothered to hurt you for no reason. I thought the I like Girls clip was really cute and not harmful at all. Thank you for everything jocat.
That's because it wasn't harmful at all; even in the slightest bit. I think the people harassing JoCat were just 4chan wannabes just trying to make a dent in people's happiness. I genuinely hope they stub their toe every time they walk into a new room.
Agreed and I don't understand why he got bullied for even bringing up parts of their personalities like smart witty singing Diddy etc. I hope that if he decides to return he knows that he will be welcomed back
@@celestialkitsuneI think people saw his “Girls” video (A parody of Boys by Lizzo) as gay, liberal, or something and started bullying him. The whole situation is pretty dumb. Especially since it started like a year AFTER it was uploaded.
We will miss you, Jo. Thank you for everything you've done. Please, remember, we care about you. And if one day you decide to come back, we will welcome you with open arms.
This will probably never be seen, but thank you so much for being one of my D&D inspirations, JoCat. You were a blessing to this community, and I speak for so many people when I say we'll miss you. Regardless of whether you return or stay away, I hope you know just how much of an impact you left on all of us. May you and your loved ones find peace of mind, heal. We love and appreciate you.
Sitting down in an unfurnished apartment, except for the one table and two chair, eating cheap food from a restaurant nearby with my best friend watching JoCat’s Nuzlocke… it was the first time I moved out and such an important memory for me. I’m gonna miss ya Jo.
I'm just one of over a million people who consider you an amazing person and brilliant content creator, JoCat. It's sad to see you go, and I genuinely hope you can return to us someday, but I understand and respect that you need to put the safety and well-being of yourself and those closest to you first. Take care, be well, and know that you will always be considered one of the best things to ever happen to UA-cam.
@@jdogzerosilverblade299 -- Unfortunately, JoCat has been the victim of very serious harassment and doxxing. People saw his 'I Like Girls' video and, for stars only know what twisted reason, decided liking girls made him "too cringe" (yes, it makes zero sense, but that's what happened) and felt entitled to not only engage in a campaign of toxic messages directed at him but also make serious, believable threats against him while mailing packages to the addresses of his friends and family. These online terrorists -- because that's absolutely what they are -- have basically made JoCat fear not only for himself but the safety of those closest to him, and understandably so. I hope every single one of them gets caught and end up rotting in jail (as they thoroughly deserve), but in the meantime JoCat has made the hard but brave decision to go on indefinite hiatus from UA-cam and content creation more broadly until the situation is resolved. Seriously, I don't know why some people online seem to make it their mission in life to destroy anything good and worthwhile. I hope fate is far from kind to such as they.
I know I'm only one of many voices, but I just wanted to say thank you Jo. You've done wonderful things here, and I hope you're proud of everything you've created. Truly I mean it when I say that you deserve all the thanks and well wishes you can get. You've made your mark on the world, and left such a positive impact in so many ways. I hope you can find joy and fulfillment in whatever you do next. And again - thank you.
It is unfair that the internet is losing a wonderful person and content creator because of a small group of jerks. I had always hoped to ask JoCat if he would make a "Crap Guide To Pathfinder" or at least do episodes for archetypes that don't have the same overlap to D&D, but this will never happen. I salute you JoCat and I wish you all the happiness in the world even if it is not entertaining me.
@@xXDexter3000Xx lol guys getting death threats and is being abused and Ur like prove it otherwise who cares he's bad for having a negative reaction to awful people. Okay buddy
There's always a chance, should he decide to return to YouTubing. "Indefinite hiatus" doesn't 100% mean he's absolutely not going to come back, and I for one will hold out hope that after he gets some time to heal from the harm done to him and his family, and once the idiots find something else to do, he'll return. And maybe do the Crap Guide to Pathfinder (I'd love to see that too. Especially 2e's Inventor).
Thank you for teaching me DnD and making it so I have friends through it. I appreciate you and everything you've ever done for the DnD community, the Monster Hunter community, the FF14 community and your own community. You are a blessing to the world and I'm so sorry people had to do what they did making it so you couldn't safely continue sharing those gifts. I hope one day when the heat dies down and you feel safe once again, that you return to creating content let that be tweets, videos, livestreams or whatever makes you feel happy and safe. Either way, until next time JoCat. Stay safe and stay happy.
Jo, I hate how people needlessly bullied you off this passion, and hope that one day you return. Until then, I'd like to say thankyou for all the best memories, and moments you gave us when we needed you most. I hope one day there'll be more people in the world who can appreciate someone like you and other kind souls similar. Please stay safe and I hope you have a wonderful 2024.
Major time lurker and video enjoyer here, adding my voice to the chorus. Thank you so much for your content - from Monster Hunter to D&D, FF14, and beyond - that has inspired and entertained so many people. You are loved and supported. If you choose to come back someday, I'll look forward to that day; if not, I'll cherish what content you gave us. Some people on the internet are cruel beyond measure, and I hope that you, your fiancé, and your family are still okay and continue to be so. Thank you for everything; beyond measure, thank you.
What a fucking way to send it, Jo-Cat. We love you and we’re gonna miss you dude. I hope you come back eventually. Your positivity and kindness shine through and you don’t deserve the crap you’ve been going through. You’re great. You’re too pure for this world.
Jo, you owe us nothing. You gave millions of people happiness, and anything you've gained in your journey is nothing less than deserved. It angers me that the happiness you gave was to some degree repaid in hostility, but we all wish that you find all the joy you were looking for and more on this indefinite break. You've done more than enough for us, and I hope that some of our goodwill reaches you in return.
You helped me be a bit more comfortable in my own skin and with my hobbies. You motivated me to jump into the deep end of DM'ing, and I'm now over a year into this campaign with my friends. Thank you, for everything. No one else will ever be quite like you, Jo. We're gonna miss you.
Listen 'ere JoCat, you get a nice ass rest and recovery now y'hear? You've done an amazing job and we will be here for you when/if you decide to return to content making. Either way, thank YOU for everything you've given us.
Thank you so much for everything you have done JoCat. As a trans girl seeing you openly talk about that meant a lot to me. You're also the person that got me into DnD and without you I probably would have never started my first campaign a few weeks ago. Your videos were always a highlight of my day. Thank you for everything.
Thank you JoCat, genuinely. For everything. As a fan and as a trans person, I am so incredibly proud and happy that you did this for us. And it breaks my heart that someone as genuine as you was threatened and harassed so badly. Please take all the time you need
All of our love to you JoCat, the world is unfair and terrible for what it's done to you. Thank you for all the work you've done for charity, for us, and the D&D space at large. I was introduced to D&D through the Crap Guide, and will forever keep showing it to new players to share how wonderful your content is. We wish you well on where life will bring you.
I'm crying already haha. I've loved your content so much. As a lesbian, I just want to say that the one more "controversial" video made me feel safe in my sexuality and, even if it played quite a small role in the grand scheme of it, helped me accept that part of myself in part. You made me feel safe in feeling different and in choosing to be kind and silly... and that those aspects of oneself are okay. Your voice was always so comforting in your other videos, and your humor always hit (and even if it didn't, I loved how silly some of your videos were). Your videos even helped me get into FFXIV!! This isn't a plea for you to stay or anything, by the way! I really hope you find some peace after all of this bullshit and continue to be yourself even if it is not in the "public" eye. Enjoy yourself, man. Rest. You've done so much good! Thank you for everything!!!!
Jocat you probably don't remember me but I was the Lalafell that Sammie asked you to take screenshots with for missing out on hanging out doing Lunarcon. That experience and the kindness you showed have always left an impression on me. Your a wonderful person Jo and no matter where you go or what you do I know you will be amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the laughs and smiles, I wish you nothing but the best on your journey forward.
We're going to miss you, JoCat. Please, try to remember that you do have much more people who care about you, than the scumbags, and we will always be here for you. We hope you can enjoy your time away.
Thank you, JoCat, for being you. It may not mean much coming from some random guy on the internet, especially one that's only seen a small subset of your work, but from the bottom of the heart, thank you for your creations, your jokes, your creativity, and for just being who you are.
Thank you Jo for everything. You've helped a lot of people go through some tough times. Please keep spreading more of this joy, even outside of the internet, because it has been really special for a lot of people. Seriously, thank you so much for everything.
Honestly... just fuck, man. How does anyone find the right words to describe how much of a positive impact you have made unto so many of our lives, Jo? Been watching since the Monster hunter days and honestly, knowing there will be a Jocat shaped hole in this community moving forward that can't be filled hurts like hell, it truly does. None the less, I hope you know that many people like myself will accept your choice and want to support it whole heartedly. You have given so many of us countless smiles, laughs and touched our hearts by being who you are, don't you ever dare to forget that. With how much hate is surrounding so many of us, voices of sillyness, fun and love like yours still deafened them all out, at least for a dumb idiot like me, that does mean something. Wether you return one day, never show yourself online again, or whatever other decision you may make in the future, please know that I, as well as many others, will carry much of what you have taught us about your worldview with us to the future, and most of it for the better (not entirely sure I should run around half naked with an animal head yet). You probably wont be able to read all of these messages and comments, so I wont blame you if this goes past. After all, there are countless others, crying next to me. I do hope that a unison of our messages does stick and reach you: You are loved, Jo. Regardless of what the future may bring for you, you are not allowed to forget that. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have enriched all of our existances and we hope nothing but the best for the future of your life.
As someone who’s been watching the videos of Jo since Monster Hunter World, I just want to say: thank you so much. I’m so happy and proud of what you’ve become. I am sorry for what’s happened to you in recent times, and I hope to see you spring back. You’re a great content creator and have a big heart. Stay safe and take care
Thank you for everything, Jocat. Your animations were an absolute delight to watch and the Crap Guides were so helpful! You're such a kind soul and I can't believe the harassment you were given over such a cute little animation. Thank you for being a wonderful ally and person. I hope whatever adventure life brings you next will be a joyous one. Sincerely, a transman.
You deserve nothing but the best. We love you JoCat, you'll be remembered in our hearts and cherished for what you've created. Take all the time you need and have a good life.
I'm crying! Congratulations! I hope that the next part of your adventures allows you to do all the things you thought you couldn't and grow into the person you wish to be. May your time be prosperous and productive with laughter and love. I hope you can find joy in the games you play and if anyone gives you heck remember you are not alone. We will be your wings if you need it. - One proud White Mage and her Trans Tank husband.
Jo, honestly, thank you so much for everything you have done. I haven't known your channel for that long of a time, and you don't know me at all, but you still made a huge impact on my and my friends' lives. Your content has been a huge inspiration, and got me going through tough times when I thought I couldn't. It got my closest people to be introduced to my favourite hobby, DnD, and I haven't had this much fun in ages. Thanks to you I could get up when I was knocked down, and I hope this can make at least the smallest influence in you doing the same. I support you with all of my heart and impatiently wait for the legend to make a return.
I'll say your own word from the crap guide to GM and say to you "from the bottom of my heart, thank you". Thank you for your work and your dedication for your channel, thank you for everything you've done for the roleplaying community, you're the best.
I just wanted you to know that I'm totally behind you all the way on taking time for your personal, mental health, or whatever it is you need to take care of after people were such assholes. I'm really glad your content is still here to watch, because you made a lot of people laugh a lot, but you also conveyed a lot of actually important information in easily understandable ways. Whether you ever come back or not, you left a huge positive mark on the internet, and thank you for that.
You’re one of the best creators on this godforsaken internet, and an inspiration to me as an artist. I hope, if anything, you understand how much you are loved and appreciated by this community you’ve built, and how much of a positive impact you’ve had on the world. Whatever happens next for you, I hope it brings you as much joy as you’ve brought us. And I hope you’ll feel safe enough to return eventually. Because I will wait however long that takes, even if it’s forever.
Now I’m crying at 10 am. Thank you JoCat. You got me into monster hunter, dnd… through those I made friends I now consider family. I’m sorry that the world is cruel, I’m sorry that people have to ruin good things. Thank you for it all. You will be missed. - lungs
For all the small difference that it makes, I'm feeling pretty entertained by Jocat's content and subscribing on principle. Twitter is absolute mind poison and I can't abide the killing of his enthusiasm for making stuff for us to enjoy. Hope you find a way to getting back to doing what you love.
Thank you so much for everything Jocat, your art and humour has sincerely made such a wonderful impact on mine and my husbands lives. It's heartbreaking that people can be so awful and went out of their way to hurt you, it's not okay. I know there are more people here who love you and what you have given us than there are nasty people, I hope that soon you'll feel safe enough to return or at least eventually. You've got a special place in everyone's hearts here ❤ I know there's heaps of comments on here, but I hope you read them all and feel the love from everybody. I'm getting my next Jocat tattoo added on tomorrow morning beside my Goblin wizard and baby Wiggler! Your art got us through the most significant losses of our family in the last few years, and been the inspiration foe so many adventures and even my career change into using D&D for my teaching career with children. There's not enough space to write down all the ways you've positively impacted just one person's life!! Just know you made a difference, and the community will not be the same without you and we hope to see you again soon. We love you!!!!! ❤️ ❤❤
May this channel be a monument to the joy you bring the world. May you lead a life of far greater happiness than you ever think you deserve. May you ever rest your head proud of your accomplishments. Know that you are cherished, that you will be missed, and that you will be remembered with fondness. I know not that we may see you again, but I wish you well nevertheless.
I don't want to see you go without saying anything so i want to say thank you so much for being apart of my teenagehood and my darkest days. Your videos were among the few that helped me float from completely sinking under. Your FF14, DnD and Monster Hunter (as well as the other) series were and are the best informative videos anyone could ask for, newcomers and veterans alike. If you ever decide to come back, i (among so many others) will have your back and support you always, even if that means supporting you silently and from the sidelines. Know that whatever happens, whether you return or not, regardless of what you do or not, we all appreciate you for all of the videos that you brought and for everything that you have done, as well as being a great person. Those who said otherwise can seriously suck your Sword and Board. Thank your for everything, JoCat. The "Girls" video was not problematic in any angle or extent, i considered it smart lyric writing and your animations are all top-notch. You will be remembered, always.
I know one voice isn't enough to take back all the pain that's been caused, but man it -sucks- to see you go. Your work has been utter joy for me and my friends, and I'll take that little excitement moment of 'hey new JoCat dropped' from my brother with me forever. I loved watching your twitch streams, love gobbo, enjoyed seeing you on Bryn, and have been genuinely touched by you, Shen, and the folks you've collabed with. You're a good person, you deserve better than you've been given, and I hope you and your partner have a wonderful life together. If you do ever decide to come back I know I'll be one of the people there to shout out a cheer, but you also do what you need to do for -you-. So much love, Jo, to you and yours, you got me through some bad times, dude, thanks so much for everything.
Thank you Jo. When I lost my cousin a few years ago your videos were the thing that helped me bare with the pain for a moment. Even though it saddens me to see you go I want to say thank you for you. I hope you a happy life. Thank you
I'll miss you JoCat, thank you for all the love, laughs and positivity you brought in every upload. I hope you can come back someday with a fresh start, I promise you'll be welcomed back with open arms by so many people whose lives you've made a huge impact on. I and many others wish you all the best, we love you. Stay safe and never, *never* stop being you JoCat.
I may not have said anything in the past, but I feel compelled to say this: Thank you for all your entertainment, your story, and I wish you the best in your new life.
I... can't believe you finished TOP before I even worked up the courage to do any Ultimate. As a savage raider, my hat is off to you, Jo. Who knows, maybe one day, I'll see you out in Limsa or something, sporting that flashy sword and new title. I know that nothing said will change your choice to leave, and I respect you far too much to try after everything you've been through. I just hope that, when you're ready, you look back, and see the wonderful things you have done for everyone here. You made everything a little brighter. Take care, and until next time, may you ever walk in the light of the crystal.
Thank you for being a fun part of all our lives and an awesome ally for us, JoCat. I loved all your videos and your presence in our communities, all across Monster Hunter, D&D, and FFXIV. I wish you didn't have to feel like you need to step back to get away from all the negativity, but your health matters above everything else. From this trans woman: Be safe, and be well.
You've brought so much joy to so many people JoCat. I hope you are able to make content again someday, but your mental health and safety always comes first. Thank you for everything, and whatever you do from now on, I hope you're still making people smile. Especially yourself. You deserve all the happiness. Happy New Year.
Whatever you do in life, wherever you go, no matter if you come back or not, we are so blessed to have your creations in our lives. Thank you for all teh things you made and all the joy you brought us. Go enjoy your life, whatever that looks like, and don't ever come back if that's what you need to do. Thank you Jocat. We love you!
Hey JoCat, I just want to thank you and write my wishes that one day you feel safe and confortable enough to come back. The internet need more people like you, and I'm sure you inspired a lot of them.
So sad to see you go Jo. You do such great... everything, and it is a joy to see all you create. Take your time and I hope you keep create if for no one else then at least for yourself.
Thank you, for everything Jo. I found your channel during the Monster Hunter World crap guides, stuck around for the D&D crap guides, and was eventually led into finally giving FFXIV a try thanks to you, and my life has been made so much better for it. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you and your Fiancée all the best. If there is a day you feel inspired to return, we will all be here with open arms. But in the meantime, we will take care of the legacy you've created, and use it to spread the same positivity and wholesomeness your content provided all of us.
Ill keep it short. I respect your decision to step away. I'm grateful for the joy you have given me. I will treasure the two plushies I managed to get. Whatever life brings you, I wish you the best JoCat. Thank you for making a difference in so many lifes.
It's gonna be sad as hell to see Jo disappear for a bit (Maybe forever). Sorry that there are people out there who want to make other peoples' lives miserable. Hope nothing but the best for you, Jo.
As someone with a bunch of gender weirdness going on, you were always so inspiring to me. Whatever you end up doing in the future, I sincerely hope you do it with your own funky passion. Thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart
Hey Jocat, I just wanted to say thank you for all the fond memories! Watching your content over the years inspired me enough to start working on my artwork again. I previously thought I would never improve but your overwhelming positivity has shown me I can improve not just as an artist but also for myself! Your videos over the years have introduced me to so many amazing creators to watch too! I wish you nothing but the best and I hope some day I will get to see more Jocat content!
You are a core pillar to so many communities and one of the best allies us LGBTA+ folk could have asked for. I was distraught when I heard what happened a while ago, and it hurts immensely to see you go, but I understand your desision. I hope your life can foreward in a better direction knowing all the people who love and care for you. And I do genuinely hope you keep doing animation. Even if it's not for UA-cam, you are an excellent animator and I hope you keep persuing it. Thank you for everything JoCat! Good luck! P.S. I still have the Goblin plushie and I ordered the Bard Goblin as well!
Hey jocat, thank you for my childhood, I honestly don't think I would be here right now if it weren't for you. I wish you a stress free and happy life!
Just wanted to say this for what its worth, thank you for everything. You're the reason I got over my anxiety and got into DND, why i met my girlfriend over it as well and then got into FF14, and experienced one of the best stories that will stick with me forever thru the game and it all wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you and your funny, amazing videos. I'm sorry for all that's happened to you and I wish you the best, thank you so much for everything, much love to you 💕
Truly one of the real OGs, pillar of the community, and absolute legend. Nothing but respect for this king, and I wish him the best in however he moves forward.
HI AGAIN, JO! 😁 Saus here! Bless your soul for being such a strong influence in the community, dood 💪 THANK YOU for sharing yourself & your talent, man.. Your animations are super fun to watch - I got a soft spot for art like that, hahaha ❤ You deserve to be yourself, bro! I'm sure we can all agree that you only ever mean well.. you have a huge community that loves you, and it's very clear that you have friends that will support you no matter what. Whatever step you decide to take next.. trust your gut & do what you truly feel is right, ok?! We'll be right behind you, man. Everything will be A-OK!
Jo Cat, you have been such an awesome creator. I admired the real parts of yourself that you share with us. I also really love your style and content and personality. I hope that even with you stepping away from UA-cam, that you continue to be you and can feel safe and get back to being happy. I will miss you greatly and I really appreciate my goblin plushy. He's become one of my favorites. If not for you, I don't think I would have ever understood most DND classes. Your content change my life. Thank you.
JoCat! Long time lurker, even longer time watcher here. Your videos are what helped this confused neurodivergent shy human over here make friends as an adult. I wouldn't have had the courage to ask someone new to help me learn and understand the game (dnd) which has helped me find people that I fit in with. Without your content to inspire me and give me the courage to try again, I probably wouldn't be the happy individual I am today, with my spouse who I met through our love of the game. Thank you Jo, and I hope you understand that you did nothing wrong. You are an amazing human, in a world where people don't react kindly to those who are deemed different. Well, you showed us that it is GOOD to be yourself, that it takes courage to be yourself. I really hope you continue to be yourself Jo, don't let the ones who view you as different get in the way of your happiness and peace. You deserve that. Thanks for everything
JoCat, you have always been such a massive inspiration. Not just as an incredible content creator, but as a kind, considerate and sweet-hearted soul that cares deeply about others, and the message you put out for them to feel welcome and accepted. You gave me hope that there can in fact be a space for softer, more sensitively-minded and emotionally sincere guys on the internet. And though it saddens me to no end to see you go, I really genuinely hope the time away improves your life and well-being for the better. I just hope you know that the amount of good you've done for others as an entertainer is invaluable, and will always overshadow any misconceived notion of you that lives in the minds of people who don't truly know you. Even when treated as unfairly as you were, you still wanted to make sure no-one was hurt by your actions or on your behalf, and apologized anyway in case someone somehow was. That sort of mindfulness doesn't come from an unkind or uncaring person. You deserve so much better, and I really hope you find peace and happiness. I'll never forget you, JoCat. Thank you for everything you've done. And if by some miracle you do return; you are, and will always be, welcome.
For what it’s worth, JoCat, you’re the person who got me (and many, MANY others) into D&D, and you will be missed. Take however long of a hiatus you need; if you decide to return, we will all welcome you back with open arms. You’re amazing at what you do, and Twitter cops like blowing everything out of proportion.
One more voice to add to the cacophony of gratitude. Jo, you're one of the single best content creators on UA-cam. Everything you do is so original and funny amd caring, and I can't thank you enough for that, but what I really want to thank you for is being you. I grew up in a repressive household but have never felt traditionally masculine, and your example of a better kind of masculinity, of just being yourself and caring for others, has helped guide my own path. I wish you all the best on your own and, while I hope you are able to come back someday, I would never want you to sacrifice your health for it. So please, stay away as long as you need, even if it's forever. Thanks again for everything.
Thank you. For all the love all the passion and the inspiration you gave so many, myself included. I'm sad that I won't get to see you anymore, or see you react/play things in the future. But you also have my support to whatever venture you find yourself in. Good luck and truly what a lovely guy
From one humble trans man who found inspiration from the art and the courage you put your heart into, thank you for everything. If you ever do decide to come back, may it be on your own terms, after a lot of rest and relaxation. Take care and congratulations on the clear and your first ultimate, Mr. Alpha Legend gamer. Be well, Jo! Trans rights!
Such a classy way to signoff, and what a wonderful way for that group, and the people on the server, to send him off. Sorry to see him go, but thanks to everyone for giving him such wonderful memories.
No matter what will happen next, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, because your Crap Guide series was the last straw that convinced me to start playing D&D myself, not just watch content about it. And because later I discovered so many more awesome creators after DM video... I can only hope that you will come back to us with another banger!
First of all, I really wish that what ever your going to do for your life will be filed with yhe joy and amazingness yhat you brought upon everyone that were by your side throughout the years, you were wonderfull to listen and see, your an amazing person and im really glad i got to see your video and see you, you were an amazing person and i cannot stress enough how you made me happy in the time of needs, we love you jo❤
Thank you for all these years, you were the warmest, nicest and the most cozy TTRPG streamer to follow. You will be so missed. People can be really jerks and cruel and you didn't deserve what you went through because of them; they hurt you and it's wrong.
Thank you Joe. You have genuinely been an Inspiration for me to pursue my own dreams of becoming an animator and one day becoming a content creator. I wish you the best in all future endeavors and will wait patiently for the day you may return to us here. ❤
Partings like this are always bittersweet, but sometimes, that’s the best parting in the world. I hope for the best things to come in your future Jo, may you ever walk forward.
Thank you JoCat, for all the joy and fun you’ve shared with us. You made this small piece of the internet better just by being part of it. I hope that you continue to find happiness wherever your life leads. If you return to making content, people will be here to say “Welcome back.” But even if you don’t return to the internet, I’m still glad I got to watch your videos. See you later, and thanks for being here
Jocat thank you for years of support you gave me the confidence to transition and saved my life when I got suicidal I'm sorry people hurt you they should have seen how accepting and loving and talented you where thank you so much for everything
Thank you for the endless support, laughs and entertainment you have provided us. Thank you for making me feel better in my own skin. You will forever be in our hearts
Gonna miss seeing you Jocat, take that well deserved break. Just because there's haters out there doesn't outweigh how much you do for the world by how many you inspire. Thank you for being here and I hope you can relax this new year. 💖
This is a sad day to learn this has happened. From D&D, to FF xiv to just helping and taking part in other UA-camrs streams (big thank you for tagging along on DipperDogs journey :) ), you are just a wholesome guy and I am saddened to hear what has happened, but completely understand why. I will still share your videos to friends and other gamers. To those who care and those you have touched, you have left a mark on our lives and you will not be forgotten. Safe travels on the journey of life, friend.
@JoCat , we love you and your content. Take the time you need. Your wellbeing should be the priority, it sucks that some bad people are doing this, and it is wrong in so many f****d up ways. I hope to see you poping up again here, but only when you feel safe, I'll wait patiently. And if you don't come back, I still wish you the best in life. I personally love the song, can't understand how this could have happened. Sending you a hug and best wishes from Spain
Thank you so much, Jo, for everything you've given! I have so many fond memories of watching your videos with my closest friends, and you've given me a lot of joy and inspiration, especially when I was down and struggling. I never got to know you personally, but I know you're a wonderful person who will continue doing so much good. Please take care of yourself! 💕
Thanks for everything JoCat! I’ll miss your videos, but I’ll always have them to remember you and your amazing wit, comedy, and humour by! I wish you luck, I wish you farewell, and, even if you never grace the screens of UA-cam again, I wish you safe travels! ❤
Thank you for the ride, Jocat, it's been amazing. Your crap guide series helped me get my friends into XIV and D&D, for which I'll always be thankful. Wishing you all the best!
I can't remember the amount of times I came here for comfort when I was feeling low. I came here to laugh and cry, to forget the darker bits of life and remember the good parts. Your humor, creativity, and unconditional warmth has reached so, so many, and inspires the best in us. ...I've broken down a few times just writing this, so I'm just going to say thank you. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with all of us. I hope, with everything I have, that things get better for you, and if you ever feel comfortable coming back in any capacity, we'll be here.
I’m sorry this happened to you man. It’s a real shame we live in a world where hatred exists and people will beat others into bloodstained dust over nothing. Wish you the best my guy.
This will be my final public upload before my indefinite hiatus.
The final part of my BG3 playthrough as well as the remaining sessions of Heart of Elynthi will be added unlisted in their respective playlists once their editing is complete so those who are invested wont be left in suspense and without closure.
When all of those are finished, I will make one final community post to notify any who may have missed them, but until then, there will be no further activity from this channel indefinitely.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. Happy New Year.
i hope you do eventualy get a chance to return to dnd your an amazing person and we enjoy your content
You'll be missed bud
JoCat its not your fault you did nothing wrong! You dont have to appologize becuse you posted something! You cant make eweryone happy, and from what i can understand people that got mad dont ewen watch your channel.
Thats how i understood it... i'm not shure...
You'll most definitely be missed, thanks for everything JoCat❤
🫂
If you ever decide to come back, your community will welcome you with open arms. Thanks for all the laughs you have given over the years. Be well. Take care of yourself.
My subs are more bookmarks than anything else. I‘ve waited for Kwite, I‘ll wait for Jo. And just keep rewatching whenever I feel like it. =)
It is heartbreaking to hear Jo break down while thanking us. As much as we have done for him, he has done for his fans and more. Be well.
That's the harsh reality we live in. The human mind and emotions works in a way were postitivity and compliments can only boost your happiness, but negativity and insults usually hits like a truck. 1 negative thing can overwhelm 10 positive things. JoCat didn't deserve any of those "trolls" and whichever they did it to harm or thought it was a fun gag was neither ever appropriate.
I wish JoCat a bright future and hope that perhaps he can find true happiness with either us, his community, or whatever he may find in the future. Either way i hope he finds happiness.
This nibba have a mental breakdown ?? Why am i not surprised 🫵😂
Thank you for everything, jocat. I'm so sorry that people would have bothered to hurt you for no reason. I thought the I like Girls clip was really cute and not harmful at all. Thank you for everything jocat.
That's because it wasn't harmful at all; even in the slightest bit. I think the people harassing JoCat were just 4chan wannabes just trying to make a dent in people's happiness. I genuinely hope they stub their toe every time they walk into a new room.
Agreed and I don't understand why he got bullied for even bringing up parts of their personalities like smart witty singing Diddy etc. I hope that if he decides to return he knows that he will be welcomed back
its beacuse theyre unlovable incels
they dont matter
Wait I've been out of the loop. The heck happened?
@@celestialkitsuneI think people saw his “Girls” video (A parody of Boys by Lizzo) as gay, liberal, or something and started bullying him.
The whole situation is pretty dumb. Especially since it started like a year AFTER it was uploaded.
We will miss you, Jo. Thank you for everything you've done. Please, remember, we care about you. And if one day you decide to come back, we will welcome you with open arms.
This will probably never be seen, but thank you so much for being one of my D&D inspirations, JoCat. You were a blessing to this community, and I speak for so many people when I say we'll miss you. Regardless of whether you return or stay away, I hope you know just how much of an impact you left on all of us. May you and your loved ones find peace of mind, heal. We love and appreciate you.
Hey Jocat, want you to know how much we all appreciate you and everything you've done! Keep being awesome.
Sitting down in an unfurnished apartment, except for the one table and two chair, eating cheap food from a restaurant nearby with my best friend watching JoCat’s Nuzlocke… it was the first time I moved out and such an important memory for me. I’m gonna miss ya Jo.
I'm just one of over a million people who consider you an amazing person and brilliant content creator, JoCat. It's sad to see you go, and I genuinely hope you can return to us someday, but I understand and respect that you need to put the safety and well-being of yourself and those closest to you first. Take care, be well, and know that you will always be considered one of the best things to ever happen to UA-cam.
i have no context. can you explain what is going on?
@@jdogzerosilverblade299 -- Unfortunately, JoCat has been the victim of very serious harassment and doxxing. People saw his 'I Like Girls' video and, for stars only know what twisted reason, decided liking girls made him "too cringe" (yes, it makes zero sense, but that's what happened) and felt entitled to not only engage in a campaign of toxic messages directed at him but also make serious, believable threats against him while mailing packages to the addresses of his friends and family. These online terrorists -- because that's absolutely what they are -- have basically made JoCat fear not only for himself but the safety of those closest to him, and understandably so. I hope every single one of them gets caught and end up rotting in jail (as they thoroughly deserve), but in the meantime JoCat has made the hard but brave decision to go on indefinite hiatus from UA-cam and content creation more broadly until the situation is resolved.
Seriously, I don't know why some people online seem to make it their mission in life to destroy anything good and worthwhile. I hope fate is far from kind to such as they.
@@jdogzerosilverblade299 basically He got cancelled by people because the i like girls video
@@jdogzerosilverblade299he’s being overly dramatic, that’s it
@@Dezzy2178 I agree he's being dramatic. Question is did he get death threats.
I know I'm only one of many voices, but I just wanted to say thank you Jo. You've done wonderful things here, and I hope you're proud of everything you've created. Truly I mean it when I say that you deserve all the thanks and well wishes you can get. You've made your mark on the world, and left such a positive impact in so many ways. I hope you can find joy and fulfillment in whatever you do next. And again - thank you.
The world doesn't deserve such a kind-hearted soul. Hope to see you again someday JoCat.
It is unfair that the internet is losing a wonderful person and content creator because of a small group of jerks.
I had always hoped to ask JoCat if he would make a "Crap Guide To Pathfinder" or at least do episodes for archetypes that don't have the same overlap to D&D, but this will never happen.
I salute you JoCat and I wish you all the happiness in the world even if it is not entertaining me.
@@xXDexter3000Xx Wtf are you on? He got death threats, people mailed shit to his _family,_ that is not "being made fun of" it is harassment.
@@xXDexter3000Xxme after the brain rot sets in
@@xXDexter3000Xx lol guys getting death threats and is being abused and Ur like prove it otherwise who cares he's bad for having a negative reaction to awful people. Okay buddy
@@xXDexter3000Xxhow many letters did you send to his family?
There's always a chance, should he decide to return to YouTubing. "Indefinite hiatus" doesn't 100% mean he's absolutely not going to come back, and I for one will hold out hope that after he gets some time to heal from the harm done to him and his family, and once the idiots find something else to do, he'll return. And maybe do the Crap Guide to Pathfinder (I'd love to see that too. Especially 2e's Inventor).
Thank you for teaching me DnD and making it so I have friends through it. I appreciate you and everything you've ever done for the DnD community, the Monster Hunter community, the FF14 community and your own community. You are a blessing to the world and I'm so sorry people had to do what they did making it so you couldn't safely continue sharing those gifts. I hope one day when the heat dies down and you feel safe once again, that you return to creating content let that be tweets, videos, livestreams or whatever makes you feel happy and safe. Either way, until next time JoCat. Stay safe and stay happy.
Jo, I hate how people needlessly bullied you off this passion, and hope that one day you return. Until then, I'd like to say thankyou for all the best memories, and moments you gave us when we needed you most. I hope one day there'll be more people in the world who can appreciate someone like you and other kind souls similar. Please stay safe and I hope you have a wonderful 2024.
Major time lurker and video enjoyer here, adding my voice to the chorus. Thank you so much for your content - from Monster Hunter to D&D, FF14, and beyond - that has inspired and entertained so many people. You are loved and supported. If you choose to come back someday, I'll look forward to that day; if not, I'll cherish what content you gave us. Some people on the internet are cruel beyond measure, and I hope that you, your fiancé, and your family are still okay and continue to be so. Thank you for everything; beyond measure, thank you.
What a fucking way to send it, Jo-Cat. We love you and we’re gonna miss you dude. I hope you come back eventually. Your positivity and kindness shine through and you don’t deserve the crap you’ve been going through. You’re great. You’re too pure for this world.
Jo, you owe us nothing. You gave millions of people happiness, and anything you've gained in your journey is nothing less than deserved. It angers me that the happiness you gave was to some degree repaid in hostility, but we all wish that you find all the joy you were looking for and more on this indefinite break. You've done more than enough for us, and I hope that some of our goodwill reaches you in return.
You helped me be a bit more comfortable in my own skin and with my hobbies. You motivated me to jump into the deep end of DM'ing, and I'm now over a year into this campaign with my friends.
Thank you, for everything. No one else will ever be quite like you, Jo. We're gonna miss you.
Listen 'ere JoCat, you get a nice ass rest and recovery now y'hear? You've done an amazing job and we will be here for you when/if you decide to return to content making.
Either way, thank YOU for everything you've given us.
Thank you so much for everything you have done JoCat. As a trans girl seeing you openly talk about that meant a lot to me. You're also the person that got me into DnD and without you I probably would have never started my first campaign a few weeks ago. Your videos were always a highlight of my day. Thank you for everything.
Thank you JoCat, genuinely. For everything.
As a fan and as a trans person, I am so incredibly proud and happy that you did this for us.
And it breaks my heart that someone as genuine as you was threatened and harassed so badly.
Please take all the time you need
All of our love to you JoCat, the world is unfair and terrible for what it's done to you. Thank you for all the work you've done for charity, for us, and the D&D space at large. I was introduced to D&D through the Crap Guide, and will forever keep showing it to new players to share how wonderful your content is. We wish you well on where life will bring you.
I'm crying already haha.
I've loved your content so much. As a lesbian, I just want to say that the one more "controversial" video made me feel safe in my sexuality and, even if it played quite a small role in the grand scheme of it, helped me accept that part of myself in part. You made me feel safe in feeling different and in choosing to be kind and silly... and that those aspects of oneself are okay. Your voice was always so comforting in your other videos, and your humor always hit (and even if it didn't, I loved how silly some of your videos were). Your videos even helped me get into FFXIV!! This isn't a plea for you to stay or anything, by the way! I really hope you find some peace after all of this bullshit and continue to be yourself even if it is not in the "public" eye. Enjoy yourself, man. Rest. You've done so much good! Thank you for everything!!!!
Seconded. That video helped me in just the same way. And helped me find it easier to be body positive for myself as well
I am crying just to see how wholesome the internet can be sometimes (so much positive coments). I am trans, and Jocat is an inspiration for us all!
Jocat you probably don't remember me but I was the Lalafell that Sammie asked you to take screenshots with for missing out on hanging out doing Lunarcon. That experience and the kindness you showed have always left an impression on me. Your a wonderful person Jo and no matter where you go or what you do I know you will be amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the laughs and smiles, I wish you nothing but the best on your journey forward.
We're going to miss you, JoCat. Please, try to remember that you do have much more people who care about you, than the scumbags, and we will always be here for you. We hope you can enjoy your time away.
It was your alt right 4chan/kiwifarm buddies that did it.
Thank you, JoCat, for being you.
It may not mean much coming from some random guy on the internet, especially one that's only seen a small subset of your work, but from the bottom of the heart, thank you for your creations, your jokes, your creativity, and for just being who you are.
Thank you Jo for everything. You've helped a lot of people go through some tough times. Please keep spreading more of this joy, even outside of the internet, because it has been really special for a lot of people. Seriously, thank you so much for everything.
Honestly... just fuck, man. How does anyone find the right words to describe how much of a positive impact you have made unto so many of our lives, Jo? Been watching since the Monster hunter days and honestly, knowing there will be a Jocat shaped hole in this community moving forward that can't be filled hurts like hell, it truly does. None the less, I hope you know that many people like myself will accept your choice and want to support it whole heartedly. You have given so many of us countless smiles, laughs and touched our hearts by being who you are, don't you ever dare to forget that. With how much hate is surrounding so many of us, voices of sillyness, fun and love like yours still deafened them all out, at least for a dumb idiot like me, that does mean something.
Wether you return one day, never show yourself online again, or whatever other decision you may make in the future, please know that I, as well as many others, will carry much of what you have taught us about your worldview with us to the future, and most of it for the better (not entirely sure I should run around half naked with an animal head yet).
You probably wont be able to read all of these messages and comments, so I wont blame you if this goes past. After all, there are countless others, crying next to me. I do hope that a unison of our messages does stick and reach you: You are loved, Jo. Regardless of what the future may bring for you, you are not allowed to forget that. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have enriched all of our existances and we hope nothing but the best for the future of your life.
Very well said. Many Hearts!
Amen to that 🙏
Man... this made me tear up
Amen to this comment
This is why I hate Twitter and what they stand for, they cancel anyone that isn’t up for their liking. They are bunch of Karens
We'll wait for you as long as we need to Jo. You've helped some of us through dark times, and now it's our turn to lend you our support
As someone who’s been watching the videos of Jo since Monster Hunter World, I just want to say: thank you so much. I’m so happy and proud of what you’ve become. I am sorry for what’s happened to you in recent times, and I hope to see you spring back. You’re a great content creator and have a big heart. Stay safe and take care
Thank you for everything, Jocat. Your animations were an absolute delight to watch and the Crap Guides were so helpful! You're such a kind soul and I can't believe the harassment you were given over such a cute little animation. Thank you for being a wonderful ally and person. I hope whatever adventure life brings you next will be a joyous one. Sincerely, a transman.
You deserve nothing but the best. We love you JoCat, you'll be remembered in our hearts and cherished for what you've created. Take all the time you need and have a good life.
I'm crying! Congratulations! I hope that the next part of your adventures allows you to do all the things you thought you couldn't and grow into the person you wish to be. May your time be prosperous and productive with laughter and love. I hope you can find joy in the games you play and if anyone gives you heck remember you are not alone. We will be your wings if you need it. - One proud White Mage and her Trans Tank husband.
Jo, honestly, thank you so much for everything you have done. I haven't known your channel for that long of a time, and you don't know me at all, but you still made a huge impact on my and my friends' lives. Your content has been a huge inspiration, and got me going through tough times when I thought I couldn't. It got my closest people to be introduced to my favourite hobby, DnD, and I haven't had this much fun in ages. Thanks to you I could get up when I was knocked down, and I hope this can make at least the smallest influence in you doing the same. I support you with all of my heart and impatiently wait for the legend to make a return.
I'll say your own word from the crap guide to GM and say to you "from the bottom of my heart, thank you". Thank you for your work and your dedication for your channel, thank you for everything you've done for the roleplaying community, you're the best.
I just wanted you to know that I'm totally behind you all the way on taking time for your personal, mental health, or whatever it is you need to take care of after people were such assholes. I'm really glad your content is still here to watch, because you made a lot of people laugh a lot, but you also conveyed a lot of actually important information in easily understandable ways.
Whether you ever come back or not, you left a huge positive mark on the internet, and thank you for that.
You’re one of the best creators on this godforsaken internet, and an inspiration to me as an artist. I hope, if anything, you understand how much you are loved and appreciated by this community you’ve built, and how much of a positive impact you’ve had on the world. Whatever happens next for you, I hope it brings you as much joy as you’ve brought us. And I hope you’ll feel safe enough to return eventually. Because I will wait however long that takes, even if it’s forever.
Now I’m crying at 10 am. Thank you JoCat. You got me into monster hunter, dnd… through those I made friends I now consider family. I’m sorry that the world is cruel, I’m sorry that people have to ruin good things. Thank you for it all. You will be missed. - lungs
For all the small difference that it makes, I'm feeling pretty entertained by Jocat's content and subscribing on principle. Twitter is absolute mind poison and I can't abide the killing of his enthusiasm for making stuff for us to enjoy. Hope you find a way to getting back to doing what you love.
Thank you so much for everything Jocat, your art and humour has sincerely made such a wonderful impact on mine and my husbands lives. It's heartbreaking that people can be so awful and went out of their way to hurt you, it's not okay. I know there are more people here who love you and what you have given us than there are nasty people, I hope that soon you'll feel safe enough to return or at least eventually. You've got a special place in everyone's hearts here ❤ I know there's heaps of comments on here, but I hope you read them all and feel the love from everybody. I'm getting my next Jocat tattoo added on tomorrow morning beside my Goblin wizard and baby Wiggler! Your art got us through the most significant losses of our family in the last few years, and been the inspiration foe so many adventures and even my career change into using D&D for my teaching career with children. There's not enough space to write down all the ways you've positively impacted just one person's life!! Just know you made a difference, and the community will not be the same without you and we hope to see you again soon. We love you!!!!! ❤️ ❤❤
I'll miss you, Jo! You're easily one of the most humble people I've ever encountered!
May this channel be a monument to the joy you bring the world.
May you lead a life of far greater happiness than you ever think you deserve.
May you ever rest your head proud of your accomplishments.
Know that you are cherished, that you will be missed, and that you will be remembered with fondness.
I know not that we may see you again, but I wish you well nevertheless.
I don't want to see you go without saying anything so i want to say thank you so much for being apart of my teenagehood and my darkest days. Your videos were among the few that helped me float from completely sinking under. Your FF14, DnD and Monster Hunter (as well as the other) series were and are the best informative videos anyone could ask for, newcomers and veterans alike.
If you ever decide to come back, i (among so many others) will have your back and support you always, even if that means supporting you silently and from the sidelines.
Know that whatever happens, whether you return or not, regardless of what you do or not, we all appreciate you for all of the videos that you brought and for everything that you have done, as well as being a great person. Those who said otherwise can seriously suck your Sword and Board.
Thank your for everything, JoCat. The "Girls" video was not problematic in any angle or extent, i considered it smart lyric writing and your animations are all top-notch.
You will be remembered, always.
I know one voice isn't enough to take back all the pain that's been caused, but man it -sucks- to see you go. Your work has been utter joy for me and my friends, and I'll take that little excitement moment of 'hey new JoCat dropped' from my brother with me forever. I loved watching your twitch streams, love gobbo, enjoyed seeing you on Bryn, and have been genuinely touched by you, Shen, and the folks you've collabed with. You're a good person, you deserve better than you've been given, and I hope you and your partner have a wonderful life together. If you do ever decide to come back I know I'll be one of the people there to shout out a cheer, but you also do what you need to do for -you-. So much love, Jo, to you and yours, you got me through some bad times, dude, thanks so much for everything.
Thank you Jo. When I lost my cousin a few years ago your videos were the thing that helped me bare with the pain for a moment. Even though it saddens me to see you go I want to say thank you for you. I hope you a happy life. Thank you
I'll miss you JoCat, thank you for all the love, laughs and positivity you brought in every upload.
I hope you can come back someday with a fresh start, I promise you'll be welcomed back with open arms by so many people whose lives you've made a huge impact on. I and many others wish you all the best, we love you. Stay safe and never, *never* stop being you JoCat.
I may not have said anything in the past, but I feel compelled to say this:
Thank you for all your entertainment, your story, and I wish you the best in your new life.
I... can't believe you finished TOP before I even worked up the courage to do any Ultimate. As a savage raider, my hat is off to you, Jo. Who knows, maybe one day, I'll see you out in Limsa or something, sporting that flashy sword and new title.
I know that nothing said will change your choice to leave, and I respect you far too much to try after everything you've been through. I just hope that, when you're ready, you look back, and see the wonderful things you have done for everyone here. You made everything a little brighter. Take care, and until next time, may you ever walk in the light of the crystal.
Thank you for being a fun part of all our lives and an awesome ally for us, JoCat. I loved all your videos and your presence in our communities, all across Monster Hunter, D&D, and FFXIV. I wish you didn't have to feel like you need to step back to get away from all the negativity, but your health matters above everything else. From this trans woman: Be safe, and be well.
You've brought so much joy to so many people JoCat. I hope you are able to make content again someday, but your mental health and safety always comes first. Thank you for everything, and whatever you do from now on, I hope you're still making people smile. Especially yourself. You deserve all the happiness. Happy New Year.
Whatever you do in life, wherever you go, no matter if you come back or not, we are so blessed to have your creations in our lives. Thank you for all teh things you made and all the joy you brought us. Go enjoy your life, whatever that looks like, and don't ever come back if that's what you need to do. Thank you Jocat. We love you!
Be safe jocat. You and your content will always be remembered!
Hey JoCat, I just want to thank you and write my wishes that one day you feel safe and confortable enough to come back. The internet need more people like you, and I'm sure you inspired a lot of them.
So sad to see you go Jo. You do such great... everything, and it is a joy to see all you create. Take your time and I hope you keep create if for no one else then at least for yourself.
Thank you, for everything Jo. I found your channel during the Monster Hunter World crap guides, stuck around for the D&D crap guides, and was eventually led into finally giving FFXIV a try thanks to you, and my life has been made so much better for it. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you and your Fiancée all the best. If there is a day you feel inspired to return, we will all be here with open arms. But in the meantime, we will take care of the legacy you've created, and use it to spread the same positivity and wholesomeness your content provided all of us.
Ill keep it short. I respect your decision to step away. I'm grateful for the joy you have given me. I will treasure the two plushies I managed to get. Whatever life brings you, I wish you the best JoCat. Thank you for making a difference in so many lifes.
It's gonna be sad as hell to see Jo disappear for a bit (Maybe forever). Sorry that there are people out there who want to make other peoples' lives miserable. Hope nothing but the best for you, Jo.
As someone with a bunch of gender weirdness going on, you were always so inspiring to me. Whatever you end up doing in the future, I sincerely hope you do it with your own funky passion. Thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart
We love you Jo!
Hey Jocat, I just wanted to say thank you for all the fond memories!
Watching your content over the years inspired me enough to start working on my artwork again.
I previously thought I would never improve but your overwhelming positivity has shown me I can improve not just as an artist but also for myself!
Your videos over the years have introduced me to so many amazing creators to watch too!
I wish you nothing but the best and I hope some day I will get to see more Jocat content!
You are a core pillar to so many communities and one of the best allies us LGBTA+ folk could have asked for. I was distraught when I heard what happened a while ago, and it hurts immensely to see you go, but I understand your desision. I hope your life can foreward in a better direction knowing all the people who love and care for you. And I do genuinely hope you keep doing animation. Even if it's not for UA-cam, you are an excellent animator and I hope you keep persuing it. Thank you for everything JoCat! Good luck!
P.S. I still have the Goblin plushie and I ordered the Bard Goblin as well!
Hey jocat, thank you for my childhood, I honestly don't think I would be here right now if it weren't for you. I wish you a stress free and happy life!
Just wanted to say this for what its worth, thank you for everything. You're the reason I got over my anxiety and got into DND, why i met my girlfriend over it as well and then got into FF14, and experienced one of the best stories that will stick with me forever thru the game and it all wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you and your funny, amazing videos. I'm sorry for all that's happened to you and I wish you the best, thank you so much for everything, much love to you 💕
Truly one of the real OGs,
pillar of the community,
and absolute legend.
Nothing but respect for this king, and I wish him the best in however he moves forward.
HI AGAIN, JO! 😁 Saus here!
Bless your soul for being such a strong influence in the community, dood 💪 THANK YOU for sharing yourself & your talent, man.. Your animations are super fun to watch - I got a soft spot for art like that, hahaha ❤
You deserve to be yourself, bro! I'm sure we can all agree that you only ever mean well.. you have a huge community that loves you, and it's very clear that you have friends that will support you no matter what. Whatever step you decide to take next.. trust your gut & do what you truly feel is right, ok?! We'll be right behind you, man. Everything will be A-OK!
Fuck twitter, that shit it''s not even a real place, i miss you'r videos, hope you are doing well.
Jo Cat, you have been such an awesome creator. I admired the real parts of yourself that you share with us. I also really love your style and content and personality. I hope that even with you stepping away from UA-cam, that you continue to be you and can feel safe and get back to being happy. I will miss you greatly and I really appreciate my goblin plushy. He's become one of my favorites. If not for you, I don't think I would have ever understood most DND classes. Your content change my life. Thank you.
JoCat! Long time lurker, even longer time watcher here. Your videos are what helped this confused neurodivergent shy human over here make friends as an adult. I wouldn't have had the courage to ask someone new to help me learn and understand the game (dnd) which has helped me find people that I fit in with. Without your content to inspire me and give me the courage to try again, I probably wouldn't be the happy individual I am today, with my spouse who I met through our love of the game. Thank you Jo, and I hope you understand that you did nothing wrong. You are an amazing human, in a world where people don't react kindly to those who are deemed different. Well, you showed us that it is GOOD to be yourself, that it takes courage to be yourself. I really hope you continue to be yourself Jo, don't let the ones who view you as different get in the way of your happiness and peace. You deserve that. Thanks for everything
Thank you so much for everything JoCat your videos helped me so much in a dark time of my life and i wish you nothing but the best for future ❤
JoCat, you have always been such a massive inspiration. Not just as an incredible content creator, but as a kind, considerate and sweet-hearted soul that cares deeply about others, and the message you put out for them to feel welcome and accepted. You gave me hope that there can in fact be a space for softer, more sensitively-minded and emotionally sincere guys on the internet. And though it saddens me to no end to see you go, I really genuinely hope the time away improves your life and well-being for the better.
I just hope you know that the amount of good you've done for others as an entertainer is invaluable, and will always overshadow any misconceived notion of you that lives in the minds of people who don't truly know you. Even when treated as unfairly as you were, you still wanted to make sure no-one was hurt by your actions or on your behalf, and apologized anyway in case someone somehow was. That sort of mindfulness doesn't come from an unkind or uncaring person. You deserve so much better, and I really hope you find peace and happiness.
I'll never forget you, JoCat. Thank you for everything you've done. And if by some miracle you do return; you are, and will always be, welcome.
For what it’s worth, JoCat, you’re the person who got me (and many, MANY others) into D&D, and you will be missed. Take however long of a hiatus you need; if you decide to return, we will all welcome you back with open arms. You’re amazing at what you do, and Twitter cops like blowing everything out of proportion.
Thanks so much for helping so many people man. You're a force for good in an angry world.
One more voice to add to the cacophony of gratitude. Jo, you're one of the single best content creators on UA-cam. Everything you do is so original and funny amd caring, and I can't thank you enough for that, but what I really want to thank you for is being you. I grew up in a repressive household but have never felt traditionally masculine, and your example of a better kind of masculinity, of just being yourself and caring for others, has helped guide my own path. I wish you all the best on your own and, while I hope you are able to come back someday, I would never want you to sacrifice your health for it. So please, stay away as long as you need, even if it's forever. Thanks again for everything.
Thank you. For all the love all the passion and the inspiration you gave so many, myself included. I'm sad that I won't get to see you anymore, or see you react/play things in the future. But you also have my support to whatever venture you find yourself in. Good luck and truly what a lovely guy
From one humble trans man who found inspiration from the art and the courage you put your heart into, thank you for everything. If you ever do decide to come back, may it be on your own terms, after a lot of rest and relaxation.
Take care and congratulations on the clear and your first ultimate, Mr. Alpha Legend gamer. Be well, Jo! Trans rights!
Such a classy way to signoff, and what a wonderful way for that group, and the people on the server, to send him off. Sorry to see him go, but thanks to everyone for giving him such wonderful memories.
We absolutely love you JoCat. You are a wonderful person and an inspiration to many.
Thank you for all the wonderful videos you've made, Jocat! I'm sorry that some people just can't be nice. We love you!
The internet will be a little bit of a lesser place after you go sir. Farwell, you will be missed.
No matter what will happen next, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, because your Crap Guide series was the last straw that convinced me to start playing D&D myself, not just watch content about it. And because later I discovered so many more awesome creators after DM video... I can only hope that you will come back to us with another banger!
Grats JoCat, knew you could do it. And thank you for the memories. I'll remember seeing you grow from a little channel to now.
First of all, I really wish that what ever your going to do for your life will be filed with yhe joy and amazingness yhat you brought upon everyone that were by your side throughout the years, you were wonderfull to listen and see, your an amazing person and im really glad i got to see your video and see you, you were an amazing person and i cannot stress enough how you made me happy in the time of needs, we love you jo❤
Thank you for all these years, you were the warmest, nicest and the most cozy TTRPG streamer to follow. You will be so missed. People can be really jerks and cruel and you didn't deserve what you went through because of them; they hurt you and it's wrong.
Thank you Joe. You have genuinely been an Inspiration for me to pursue my own dreams of becoming an animator and one day becoming a content creator. I wish you the best in all future endeavors and will wait patiently for the day you may return to us here. ❤
Partings like this are always bittersweet, but sometimes, that’s the best parting in the world. I hope for the best things to come in your future Jo, may you ever walk forward.
Thank you for all you have done JoCat you inspired me and so many others be well on what ever path you take, we all support you
Thank you JoCat, for all the joy and fun you’ve shared with us. You made this small piece of the internet better just by being part of it. I hope that you continue to find happiness wherever your life leads. If you return to making content, people will be here to say “Welcome back.” But even if you don’t return to the internet, I’m still glad I got to watch your videos. See you later, and thanks for being here
Jocat thank you for years of support you gave me the confidence to transition and saved my life when I got suicidal I'm sorry people hurt you they should have seen how accepting and loving and talented you where thank you so much for everything
Thank you for the endless support, laughs and entertainment you have provided us. Thank you for making me feel better in my own skin. You will forever be in our hearts
Gonna miss seeing you Jocat, take that well deserved break. Just because there's haters out there doesn't outweigh how much you do for the world by how many you inspire. Thank you for being here and I hope you can relax this new year. 💖
The world know that you are an awesome person.... Thank you for everhing!! Till we meet again.
This is a sad day to learn this has happened. From D&D, to FF xiv to just helping and taking part in other UA-camrs streams (big thank you for tagging along on DipperDogs journey :) ), you are just a wholesome guy and I am saddened to hear what has happened, but completely understand why.
I will still share your videos to friends and other gamers. To those who care and those you have touched, you have left a mark on our lives and you will not be forgotten.
Safe travels on the journey of life, friend.
@JoCat , we love you and your content. Take the time you need. Your wellbeing should be the priority, it sucks that some bad people are doing this, and it is wrong in so many f****d up ways. I hope to see you poping up again here, but only when you feel safe, I'll wait patiently. And if you don't come back, I still wish you the best in life. I personally love the song, can't understand how this could have happened. Sending you a hug and best wishes from Spain
Thank you so much, Jo, for everything you've given! I have so many fond memories of watching your videos with my closest friends, and you've given me a lot of joy and inspiration, especially when I was down and struggling. I never got to know you personally, but I know you're a wonderful person who will continue doing so much good. Please take care of yourself! 💕
Thanks for everything JoCat! I’ll miss your videos, but I’ll always have them to remember you and your amazing wit, comedy, and humour by! I wish you luck, I wish you farewell, and, even if you never grace the screens of UA-cam again, I wish you safe travels! ❤
Thank you for the ride, Jocat, it's been amazing.
Your crap guide series helped me get my friends into XIV and D&D, for which I'll always be thankful.
Wishing you all the best!
I can't remember the amount of times I came here for comfort when I was feeling low. I came here to laugh and cry, to forget the darker bits of life and remember the good parts. Your humor, creativity, and unconditional warmth has reached so, so many, and inspires the best in us.
...I've broken down a few times just writing this, so I'm just going to say thank you. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with all of us. I hope, with everything I have, that things get better for you, and if you ever feel comfortable coming back in any capacity, we'll be here.
I’m sorry this happened to you man. It’s a real shame we live in a world where hatred exists and people will beat others into bloodstained dust over nothing. Wish you the best my guy.
Thanks for everything JoCat. Hopefully you’re safe and happy! I appreciate what you shared with us and hope things work out for you.
Hope hiatus is treating you well! You're content is really witty and humorous, and you're very talented. We all hope to see you again some day!
