* [[HeAlsoDid Jre Also Did]]:

* [[HeAlsoDid Jre Also Did]]: Guevara is also a spoken-word poet, which jre has [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsVZeladiSTL94kgcKTwOJg/videos a separate channel]] for.

* ApprovalOfGod: Jreg absolutely loves the fan art his show about personified ideologies get and even shows them off on his channel.
* AscendedFanon:

** [[https://jreg.fandom.com/wiki/Attention_Deficit_Disorder ADD]] (Attention Deficit Disorder) is a ''The Mental Illnesses'' [[SailorEarth fan character]] created by u/ifshebreath_sheath0t. She's the less-hyper twin sister of the canon character ADHD. Jreg, on his official Website/{{Reddit}} account, declared the character canon.
* CreatorBacklash: Downplayed in that while he isn't angry about it, he has expressed disappointment that the r/Jreg subreddit is mostly left libertarian leaning as opposed to a united ground, and is hopeful that r/anticentrism has a more diverse political audience. He has acknowledged that the subreddit leaning authoritarian would have likely gotten it banned however due to reddit rules.

* HeAlsoDid: Guevara is also a spoken-word poet, which he has [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsVZeladiSTL94kgcKTwOJg/videos a separate channel]] for.
* MeaningfulReleaseDate:

* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: Jreg began growing out his hair and facial hair for the second [=JrEra=]. Although he still continues to play ''Centricide'' characters in one-off shorts. This means ''Centricide'' characters, who have only been portrayed as clean-shaven, have inexplicably grown facial hair. This has led to moments like Libertarian's fake mustache being placed ''over'' Jreg's real mustache.
* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: Parodied relentlessly in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKCm1r9DTLk Please Stop Sexualizing Me]]. [[note]]Regardless of whatever his views may be, Jreg is likely savvy enough to know that asking people on the web to stop sexualizing his characters/him will have the opposite effect from both his queer fans and even authright fans who do it for shock humor.[[/note]]
* ShrugOfGod: In line with the show's anti-centrism and for comic effect, this is the only way Jreg appears capable of his expressing his thoughts on anything relating to it.
** Especially of note is his "I am a [viewpoint]" series of videos. They are all completely minimalist (no musical numbers, no outlandish costumes, nothing), and they're all presented as earnest videos where he just straightforwardly talks about his viewpoints and the evolution thereof. ''However,'' they all present mutually-exclusive viewpoints from one another, from claiming to actually be a centrist, to a progressive, to a Marxist-Leninist, to an identitarian, to a libertarian, to just an anti-centrist.
** He [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_zGcplq9sU also took up a sponsorship]] with ''Young Americans for Liberty'', an American libertarian organization. Whether this actually reflects Jreg's views or not is ambiguous once again, given that Jreg is ''Canadian'', acts oddly during the sponsorship segment and claims to support it as the organization will fight for his right to be addicted to cocaine. While his fans remained confused, the YAFL found the sponsorship humorous nonetheless regardless of what Jreg actually believes in.
* TrollingCreator: Practically the poster boy of this trope at this point. He uploaded 6 videos within an hour proclaiming that he was 6 contradictory political ideologies in a completely earnest tone, made his discord server publicly accessible for anyone on the internet which effectively turned it into a warzone, made a very serious video about how unsure he is about the future of the channel, and released a video a week later stating he's going to quit Youtube, only to [[spoiler: upload another video an hour later stating he's just suddenly changed his mind and then guilt trips the audience because of how tired he is of making videos.]] A few months after the discord dilemma, he made a livestream where he singlehandedly "purged" individual members of his server, before deleting it altogether.
** When, practically over night, Jreg blocked an entire subcommunity of fans shitposting on Twitter, [[MemeticMutation it became a meme,]] however when a few weeks later several fanartists who had been dedicating their time to making Centricide fan conent and had never gone out of their way to harass Jreg were also blocked, the fandom found that he'd [[CrossesTheLineTwice taken things too far]]. When asked about it, Jreg explained that he simply wanted to distance himself from other people's reinterpretation of his work as to not copy their ideas, and that he'd done it because internet fame was slowly becoming too much for him to handle.
** Jreg also uploaded a video claiming he was stopping the Centricide series before it was completed...only to reveal in the final minute of the video that this was all just a set up to drop the trailer for the final installment.

* WordOfGod: His video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td6OmNEUM1k on the Jreg community]] appears to be the only sincere statement he has given out regarding his fandom and the direction of the show. In it, he has expressed gratitude for being able to inspire fan content, help people become more aware of their politics, and discouraged older people from attacking youths that might make "cringey" fan media and follow obscure ideologies when inspired by him.

** "Laugh Track", a Schizophrenia-focused episode, coming out on World Schizophrenia Day.
