I think Julian was right about Lets Plays all along, he didn't want to become a marketable figure stuck on being a Lets Player for all his life, which ironically was what happened to Chris.

Julian overreacted to people being fans of him. He couldn’t handle the limelight, so he left. His whole spiel about not wanting to be corporized was just paranoia. Why is there this desire that every single person who watches you needs to understand you as a person and take you 100% seriously. That’s ubsurd.

Besides Oney has been marketing himself for more than a decade at this point. Way longer than Oneyplays has been around. It’s how he makes his money. For gods sakes, there were Dragons Balls Pee and Leo and Satin shirts. I really don’t get the fear, if there is a demand for a talking doll or shirt of your characature, why not sate that demand. The channel was almost always intended to be a form of income between Chris’ main projects. I can criticize the material and the lack of spirt from the channel these days, but I won’t criticize someone wanting to make money, especially if it’s to fund their true passions.

Also if you want to talk about marketable figures and being stuck on Let’s Plays. Look at Game Grumps. It could be way worse.

It is relevant, the causes of back pain can be genetic or environmental.

It's probably a bit of everything. I think Julian was right about Lets Plays all along, he didn't want to become a marketable figure stuck on being a Lets Player for all his life, which ironically was what happened to Chris. His vent post in his tumblr gets less ridiculous as time goes on.

I don't think Chris is stuck as a lets player. It's just something he is able to do for income while working on projects he is more passionate about. If not for Oneyplays he'd probably just be stuck going from gig to gig or being a starving artist. Meanwhile Julian and Ding Dong are working on their "passion projects" while likely struggling far more financially.
 
Oney plays was started for basically the same reason Game Grumps was animation is extremely time consuming and often times does not make you that much money. Let's plays are low effort videos with long lengths that rack up watch time thus making lots of money if you have a large audience. It was never something Chris was passionate about he's said as much.

Well of course it's absurd, none of us can relate to him. I'm just thinking maybe he wasn't completely wrong about it.

He's been marketing his creations, not himself, at least until now. That said I don't know if you remember but Chris did say he met someone with a Leo and Satan t-shirt once and he was absolutely mortified. Hell, Julian made references to Leo and Satan twice and Chris got audibly uncomfortable or the video was edited to make that segment shorter (OUYA and Mario Odyssey).

I mean, if you have to do it for income I'd say you're pretty much stuck, although I'm glad he hasn't thrown the towel on his creative endeavours like Arin has.

Related to what I said earlier, Julian is probably perfectly happy not being in the LP spotlight anymore and being known now solely as the guy who works on a game that will never come out, warts and all. Although from what I recall the games are on hold because of Ding Dong, since the visual stuff is already complete.

Prince killed himself from back pain.

Prince died of an "accidental" fentanyl OD, didn't he? Taking a synthetic, exceptionally powerful opioid isn't conducive to longevity. So Id say it was less the back pain itself, and the way he was treating it that got him. I'm well aware that back issues are very complicated, because even getting fixed up through surgery can end up making things worse in some ways, but again, I'd imagine anything is better than being in the type of pain he apparently lives with.
ToddleDoddle said:
I had severe back pain that lasted weeks that prevented me from laying down. I went to the emergency twice and all the doctors did was give me painkillers and told me that I just have to wait it out. I was essentially told there wasn't much they could do and would only consider surgery if it persisted after a month.

And I went to "emergency" after a nasty car wreck. They didn't do shit other than very lazily patch me up and send me on my way. They didn't bother checking me for the obvious concussion or to help me pick the glass out of myself. Had I gone to an actual hospital I'd have received better, more expensive, care. Emergency/urgent care services are bullshit and clogged up with people coming in because they've got ingrown hairs and the sniffles. So I get what you're saying and can sympathize, but when you opt for the cheaper and more immediately accessible option you get what you pay for.

Chris has said many times he's gained a lot of weight and won't go to the gym. He has also mentioned his dad has a bad back but that doesn't seem as relevant

Well those are pretty big reasons right there. Being fat, and living a sedentary life on top of it, is a one way ticket to fucking yourself in various aspects. And yes, his dad having issues is relevant. Chris could very well be genetically predisposed to certain issues/ailments. Which is a real kick in the nuts cause it could mean you did everything right and still got fucked over. Genetics are a real cunt like that.

I'm saying all this from a place of genuine concern, because I'm autistic I know full well how soul deadening chronic pain can be. I just don't wanna come on here one day and read about Chris needing his discs fused because he avoided the issue for too long or how he completely blew his back out sneezing and laid on the floor for 18 hours because he couldn't reach the phone to get help. I'd very much like the potato nigger to not wind up a cripple.

RLM are doing just fine and they're a bunch of middle-aged slobs, though it's substancially less pathetic for older guys to make a career as film critics than it is to make one as a lets player.

Cory seems to be a lot less geniune in the newer videos, tardrage is funny when it's real but when he's putting it on for every stupid thing it just doesn't hit as hard. He really needs to be paired with somebody who can actually shut him down like Zach or Dave to get the best out of him.

Nah, they did tests on my spine and even did x-rays on my second visit. Doctor explained to me that back in the day they'd just do surgery to remove the cartilage around the area in hopes of addressing the issue but medical science has since determined that it often doesn't improve things and isn't worth doing unless it doesn't improve on it's own. Took 3 weeks but eventually I could return to normal functionality.

Chris did say in one of video to stop with Jaxxy joke. he say that in casual tone. i forgot which video but it happen before Corey appear more frequent

I think it was one of the first Palworld videos, at the very least one of the first videos from this year. They made a joke about getting rid of old jokes and also about people repeating their jokes constantly online.

It doesn't help when they have a "Jaxxy fucking died" at the end of a Smiling Friends episode lol
But I can see how weirdos take those jokes way too far
 
What were they playing when they discussed Dreams' face reveal?
I think Cory even made fun of how he was protruding his jaw as to not look like a chinlet.

You know, there comes a point where someone's suffering is self inflicted. If Chris won't take any steps to fix his problem, we shouldn't give him the extra slack.
@Whiskeybone
I'm always a little concerned about the Tomar jokes because fans often go way to far with the fake accusations. Luckily, old Joshua seems to be a really good sport about it.
 
Christ alive, it’s not like he’s morbidly obese or something. We’re fans of an YouTuber, we have no say and should have no say on his health habits, whatever they may be.

And he’s talked about his back issue before, he slipped a disc when he was younger and it permanently fucked ip his back.

Are you sure you aren't confusing him with his dad?
