The one prevailing theme of all of Joe's streams is that he doesn't like anime, but his audience does. This dynamic originates from the very beginning of Joe's streaming career. During the first few months of his Twitch channel and his Discord server existing, a significant proportion of his community were weebs to begin with, as is to be expected from groups of terminally-online people. But then two major things happened which gave the weebs in Joe's audience lots of attention and an influx of new members. The first thing is that when he streamed Undertale, he had a memorable moment where he accidentally selected a dialogue option which said that he liked anime.<ref>{{JoeTwitchClipCite|CuriousSmallSoybeanBigBrother|title=joe = weeb confirmed}}</ref> And the second thing is that he decided to stream Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on the day it came out - thinking that it would bring in new viewers who wanted to see what the game was like - without realising that it was aggressively anime. Both of these things have become infamous in stream lore. | The one prevailing theme of all of Joe's streams is that he doesn't like anime, but his audience does.

As a result of Joe unintentionally garnering a highly weeb-oriented audience, it has become a running joke for Joe's viewers to try and turn him into a weeb, and for Joe to stubbornly resist this. This dynamic is the reason for various traditions within the community, including the creation of anime girl characters referred to as [[:Category:Chans| | As a result of Joe unintentionally garnering a highly weeb-oriented audience, it has become a running joke for Joe's viewers to try and turn him into a weeb, and for Joe to stubbornly resist this.
