I dunno about that, being openly against abstinence, supporting and seeking pre-marital sex, being queer and having multiple incestuous fantaisies are all against what you call "gods law".

Depends on the god, doesn't it? I think Slaanesh would probably approve of Chris.

Biblical sins? Alright, while we're at it:
Creating false icons, and stealing (from those who try to purchase them from his Etsy shop).
Taking "his" name in vain by even pretending to be "him".
And I'm not even starting with the "false witness" stuff.

"Honour thy father and thy mother or they shall hacketh down your tewbs."
 
I think it could be as simple as Chris finally starting to realise that the more calm approach is more likely to get results, or maybe this is his idea of acting feminine? He's certainly not nearly as entertaining as he used to be when he's trying to be genuinely manipulative instead of screaming like a retard and assuming he'll get his way.

Unfortunately(?) it all goes out the window when he inevitably over-shares and we end up with something like his shiny new vagina.
 
I relate to Chris in the ageing way. I'm 32 and ten years ago I was living in parent's house, in a bedroom filled with comics and video games, crazy with excitement for new books I was interested in. Now I want spiritual peace and warmth.

Surely the vag has to count as him still capable of interesting antics though?

I think it's more proof that even when he is trying not to attract the attention of trolls and isn't actively responding to any of the bait that weens lay out for him, he'll still manage to inadvertently over-share and give them more things to laugh at. It's been said before many times on the forum, but at the end of the day Chris' biggest troll is himself - that remains true even if he seems to have "mellowed" by virtue of only occasionally dropping these bombshells instead of regularly.
 
I think that he is just too worn out. As it has been pointed out before, he has retreated further and further into a lethargic state, probably as a result from a combination of factors ranging from the effect of constant trolling to his extremely bad health practices along with an accentuation of his mental issues.

Old Chris raged and ranted partially because he still hoped that he would one day find a 'sweetheart' to 'build from the ground up', anger was a way of countering a world he saw as unfair but capable of being changed via magical thinking. Which is why we had Sonichu in the first place, it was not only his attempt at creating a universe in which things worked out better for him than real life, it was a way of impacting real life. Seen in that light it makes perfect sense why Sonichu himself, despite being the titular character, eventually gave way to Chris as the main character. The Sonichu franchise allowed him to both project a brighter future for himself, one in which the trolls are punished along with Manajerks, as it allowed him to retcon the present and the past to fit a more positive self-image. I suspect this was also why he did not get too bothered at finding out a potential sweetheart was in fact another troll as there would be other sweethearts.

In other words, back in the day Chris believed he had the power to change his life for the better and his fits of anger were also a way of expressing said power. But he has 'grown up', in the sense that he does no longer have what Freud termed 'omnipotence of thoughts', he knows that no amount of comic-writing will ever truly get him a girlfriend. His original content has petered out probably for this very reason (among others, I'm sure).

Ironically enough, I don't think he has abandoned this kind of mindset entirely. Instead of faith in his ability of mentally project changes unto the external world, he now thinks he can do something a bit alike- those subliminal youtube videos- to change his body and gain a new identity as a woman. The mechanism is not too different but there is a crucial shift from the world of others (the curse-hame-has, for example) to the realm of his bodily self.

This change from an outer universe to a more confined reality also accounts for his being more depressed and less expressive. He no longer wishes, hopes to, or has any real interest in actually making connections with others, his already superficial notions of what an emotional connection is, as described in the 'love quest' paradigm, have waned and almost disappeared. With the loss of even a simulacrum of attachment to others, his emotional life reaches a kind of stagnation or stasis. A state of comfortable numbness, if you will.

In a way, despite having 'grown up', in a sense (and I use the expression with great reservations and caveats), Chris seems to have become more like a child than ever. I suspect pre-Sonichu Chris was very much like we are seeing now (minus the gender issue), unfocused, trying to endear himself to his parents for treats and not too expressive of anything.

Of course he still has bursts of anger and I suspect these will become worse and more violent with time. Now that he has no outlet to express his more violent urges, his frustration bursts out in episodes like the attack on the poor game staff over the color of Sonic's arms, of all things.

While Chris tended to be all bark and no bite, I can now easily imagine him crossing the line into psychosis and going from lethargically mumbling to himself to stabbing someone.
 
This might have been said already, but I think part of the problem is that he doesn't believe he has many fans left anymore. His recent actions in the Financhu Crisis seem more out of desperation towards anyone who will listen to him. When he thinks he has a massive legion of fans, he tends to feel like he has to defend his honor (abeit rather autistiriffically) in their eyes. If the CWC community wanted more antics from him, the first step should have been to vote for him as the winner in the Johan saga.
 
I believe chris has mellowed out, hes not as crazy about those DAMNED HOMOS or niggos anymore, i think hes being a better person in order to get what he wants tho, he was very innocent and childlike, as funny and pathetic as he was late 2000s chris was very much adorable and almost worth protecting. From 2010 and onwards he became slowly and slowly more of a moral person, but also more bizarre, to the point where i feel like hes been ruined. So yes i suppose he has mellowed, both in the quest for China, and to avoid trolls. But now hes a scumbag.
 
People in general don't vlog anymore. When Chris first came out, widespread camcorder use was first happening and YouTube celebrities became a thing.

It's like the my immortal fanfiction, that totally needs a strong culture of live journals and blogs to pop up like that. The more participation the more likely bizarre stuff happens.

Golden age Chris can be seen as that. There were a lot of vloggers and videos of people making asses of themselves .

I'm sure the ratings on something like tosh.o have steadily dropped since 2006, lowcows now, typically don't communicate through vlogs.

Tldr; if it was 2007, Chris would be making a video at every single life moment. He doesn't chronicle everything anymore because no one vlogs anymore. It's considered awkward and general consensus is thay it leaves people too accountable for mistakes

I remember when rappers would beef on YouTube. Now they just put out a tweet.


I also feel like this is why lolcows have been replaced by horrorcows like Phil ect. The amount of video content isnt what it used to be and instead of following a bizarre personality, people follow a person's long fucked up history and extreme actions

I think that's an important thing to remember, Classic Chris was created when youtube was still in it's infancy, hell internet "culture" in general has evolved since 2007.

Yep. CWC was a cowboy back then too. I think it's half the reason he posted that shit to begin with. Maybe he thought YouTube would remain relatively anonymous, like a Facebook or a MySpace.
