I’m going to get hate for this but fuck it I don’t care that much, if Chris was still regularly releasing comics that I was laughing at and that had all the charm of the original Sonichu series I’d throw 5 bucks a month his way. I get real enjoyment out of shitty webcomics and art and always have and that’s never going to change, it makes me laugh. If he was consistently doing the comics - producing something I get some kind of joy from, 5 dollars a month is less than I pay for a pack of cigarettes a day.
I’ve never donated to his patreon or other ventures because of that exactly. He doesn’t produce content consistently anymore and without someone handling him it’s all just saccharine bullshit involving Christmas or Ponies (although the shit with Blake saying Chris had a nice rack was funny). But if he was still making crazy shot like in Sonichu 10 every week and I had to pay 5 a month to see it? Fuck yeah I’d throw him 5 a month. But I’m not going to give him 5 a month for pony cards, a comic about ponies and friendship, or the chance to roleplay with him. I want batshit insane comics with lots of spelling and grammar errors where entire cities are destroyed for making fun of a manchild, really bad art, and a vague message that’s supposed to be about morality but ends up being completely insane and perhaps contradictory. Chris is amazing when he’s motivated and has some kind of antagonist. Sadly I think the Valium, Tit Skits, and Delusions have completely destroyed what made Classic Chris so great and we won’t ever have that again.
I agree with you. If Chris was actually working on and delivering a product that people want, like more early-style comics, then yes, not only would it be okay to pay him money for it, but he would actually deserve to be paid for it. He'd be earning that money legitimately.
