He's in a shit marriage, controlled by screenwave jews, forever bound to the nerd which he probably hates at this point. He always wanted to do a film and when he had his chance he failed so badly everyone wanted to memory hole it.
Mike, who was the brain and soul behind the nerd persona left him too. So when we see James, he gives off a second hand embarrassment, feminine vibes and it triggers our disgust. He monetized and thus washed down the nerd character.
