Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

It probably scares him when they start screaming.

I also notice he never lists any horror movies as something he's watched.

Besides he probably wouldn't be allowed to watch an r-rated movie anyway.
Yeah, it might be a sensory thing. The loud and fast instruments are probably overstimulating to him and just come off like noise. Probably something he could've gotten over with time and exposure but now that he has a god complex he thinks all his opinions are divine edict, so fat chance. Everything he likes is blessed and holy and everything he doesn't like is evil and should be destroyed.

Anything that isn't candy-coated rainbow vomit now seems to repulse him. Don't get me wrong, sometimes you need some sweet to balance out all the sour, but he takes it way too far.

That is strange considering that one issue of Sonichu is the most R rated comic I have ever seen.
Chris watched Saw and Cannibal Holocaust (at the request of trolls) and ended up fascinated by the violence because it wasn't something he was used to. It ended up leading to him making an extremely bizarre, dark ending that came completely out of nowhere. Part of that was tard rage at having to kill off one of his characters but still, fucking insane. Combine it with destruction of the 4_Cent Garbage building and the mass poisoning of the water supply to eradicate homosexuals, and you have an incredibly dark and psychotic ending to one of the most infamous webcomics of all time.

He almost fixed it, but then Sonichu 13 became the new ending and it's darker than ever. No matter how far Sonichu goes it always seems to spiral into darkness.
 
"Sonichu" comics are more like NC-17, or NSFL?

Ironic considering the "artist" is a manchild.
I don't really think it got that way until the 8th issue, when he had to prove that Rosechu was a woman. Before, it just looked like something you'd expect a kindergartener to create. Poorly drawn, but it had a sort of childlike innocence to some extent, even if a lot of it was just venting.

Sonichu 0-7 was about on par with Yugioh in terms of edginess. TVPG at the raunchiest and I only say that because of the occasional panty shot or clumsy attempt at innuendo. Then Sonichu 8 was straight up porn. Then things went back to "normal" save for an occasionally inappropriate moment or the weirdly outta pocket gruesome death of Ivy. Then Sonichu 10 had Chris and the boys use the power of rock 'n roll to do 9/11 and it ended with Saw torture.

Sonichu, in truth, is the story of the author's slow decline into madness. We see his mental state detiorate in real time, he loses his ability to tell what's appropriate and inappropriate for a "family friendly" comic and it culiminates into a gorery revenge fantasy. Then there's a brief return that ends with the entire comic almost literally falling apart, and Chris loses his ability to tell a coherent story or seperate fact from fiction.
 
I think by the time Barb dies the inner Solar System will have been destroyed by the Sun. Why is it that the worst people always live the longest? Not that Bob was a saint (that's been discussed to death), but still.
 
I've never looked at the Sonichu comics beyond the way that they were incidentally discussed in Geno's documentary. Are they worth reading in full for some unintentional comedy from OPL? Or are they as incoherent and frustrating as I expect?

There's a giant red straw and big boobies blonde devil ladies in it.

And something about Sonic rip-offs

The biggest problem with sonichu isn't that it's incoherent or a bad story, it's that it's actively frustrating to read. The shitty Bic-pen linework doesn't contrast well with the copious amounts of marker ink, so characters/objects/backgrounds often appear as a bunch of amorphous colored blobs; when you combine this with Chris' incompentent artwork, the horrible panel layouts, and the general haphazard placement of panels, a significant amount of time spent "reading" sonichu is spent just trying to figure out what the hell is even going on
 
I think after all the shit hes done in the past 5 years, I would rather he just become boring and reserved rather than keep getting into worse shit

You gotta read it. It's fucking awful in every way but you gotta. The multimedia Chris Chan experience is what brings all the insanity together. You get to see the world through Chris' warped, crooked eyes and see a place of complete insanity.

You can also look forward to the upcoming Sonichu Animated Series that will bring Chris' comic to life

Knowing what we know now, was it a mistake for the high school "Gal Pals" to be as nice as they were to Chris?

I certainly can't fault them for it. They were all so sweet to befriend the sped so that he had someone to eat lunch with, to celebrate his birthday with, and to generally be kind to him when no one else likely would. Even if they were "hired guns" paid by The Lumberjack, they could have easily declined the arrangement and spent that time with their real friends. In particular, Patty Mayonnaise (I know Chris called her Peppermint Patty, but he is retarded. Just look at her; she's a spitting image of the character from Doug!) went above and beyond by dancing with Chris at prom and consoling him when he freaked out at graduation.

But seeing how things turned out -- the way that Chris obsessed over them well into adulthood years after he'd last seen them, the way he pined for a high school reunion just so he could see them again, the way he searched for them online 10+ years later -- Was it worth it? Would it have been better to just let him be, allowing him to sit alone at lunch and draw Sonichus or whatever?

Is it too much of a stretch to think that the act of Bob having arranged friends for Chris prevented him from developing the skill of making friends on his own? Would throwing him out on his own have forced him to learn to interact with other people like a human being?

Or does it not matter? Might as well have a few people be kind to him early on because the rest of his life is just going to be rough, right?
 
Do you think Chris ever figured out that the hooker only said his duck was big and he was good at sex was because that was her job and not because it was true?
I think if he ever did, it became immaterial when he decided he wanted to be a woman.

I thought he hooked up with that hookers after he became a Tomgirl, am I remembering that wrong?
You got the order right. The "tomgirl" saga began in 2011, he hired prostitute* "Mia Hamm" in 2012.

However, he wasn't under any delusions that he was a woman right away during the whole tomgirl thing. It was just his way of saying that he was a man who embraced his feminine side. He didn't start going by "Christine" until 2014.

*Incidentally, we only have Chris' word that this solicitation happened, and, of course, he can be an unreliable narrator. What are the chances that he made the whole thing up? He's not even capable of making a pot of spaghetti -- is it really likely that he's savvy enough to find, hire, and pay for a hooker?

It's just too bad that he thinks "being feminine" is the only thing a girl is. Well that and a sex object.

I don't even understand it when actual girls call themselves feminists and talk about being feminine... And I'm a girl. It would be like me calling myself a tomboy and acting like a boy and saying I've got in touch with my boys side or something.

It's just weird.

IIRC the hooker story was backed up by Marvin and there's never been any reason to doubt the story.

And yeah, the whole 'Tomgirl' thing was Chris essentially trying to come up with excuses for why he should be treated differently because he viewed masculinity as requiring jock-level athleticism and every trope you can think of from every high school sitcom imaginable.

I always have found it extremely ironic that extreme feminists, and indeed troons, tend to reinforce the very stereotypes that they claim to be fighting. Because they somehow feel the need to keep defining gender by 1950s stereotypes.
