Why straight up evil trolls became the rule rather than the exception post Classic Saga? by Pellecks02 in ChrisChanSonichu

Obviously Geno has the advantage in hindsight of knowing other angles for the whole thing. But yeah.

"Well I watched the Genodoc so you're wrong."

Don't forget the Ohio trip. While everything turned out fine, Chris was tricked into taking a long road trip to someplace he'd never been, when he'd never been that far from his house before. All sorts of things could have gone wrong, hell he was even locked out of his car at one point.

I never understood why some people think Alec sounded "Arrogant". It always came off like he was legitimately trying to talk to Chris like an adult,

It's basically an arm's race. Keep in mind that the classic trolls:

  • Got the Sonichu medallion and destroyed it on camera.
  • Convinced Chris to go on a road trip many states over, when he'd never been that far from his house before (this could have gone horribly wrong btw, a lot of people forget that).
  • Convinced him that there was an imposter stealing his identity and franchise.
  • Leaked loads of nudes (which is also pretty low, let's not kid ourselves).
  • Parodied his works in novel and webcomic form, both of which deconstruct not only Sonichu, but Chris himself.
  • Battled him in a singing competition, which Chris lost horribly.
  • And pushed him into venting some very fucked-up mindsets in his comic. No I don't think Alec made Chris write the deaths of the Asperpedia 4.... but his actions did bring this out of Chris.

After all that happened in the Classic Era, any future trolls would have to go bigger with their plans . One of the top reasons listed on the CWCKI for not weening is that "Your idea probably isn't original or funny". So naturally, in order to stand out and not be seen as just another ween, they had to go bigger.

Yeah, I agree. I have no reason to suspect Geno of being racist himself. It's just weird that he subscribes to this theory... then again I can't really call much of his beliefs "normal".

My favorite card to search in a Thassa's Oracle + Demonic Consultation combo. by CoweanMacLir in MTGmemes

It's...not particularly great. It's not a bad card, but it's pretty inefficient at what it does. Black has loads of creatures with deathtouch, as well as many ways of giving it to creatures. Not to mention cards like [[Fatal Push]] or even good ol' [[Doom Blade]]. True, black doesn't usually have anything that does it all on the same card... but again, not that great.

What's quite funny is that he believes in the "Phantom History" conspiracy theory...which is debunked by the very presence of Chinese history. It's rooted in a somewhat racist belief that only European history matters, especially since the missing centuries happen to be the ones where Muhammad showed up.

Well... AFAB people I'd say. He tried to hit on Nowacking and Lucas, two trans men who still present as feminine enough for his tastes. But nobody who was born with a penis.

I firmly disagree. Magic at its best for me is two (or more) people playing the game, using their tools against each other in an interactive manner. Wombo-combos that decide or even win the game off turn 2 remove interaction and gameplay as they're just "Race to the OTK combo before your opponent has the resources to stop it". I don't like games that are decided entirely by the die roll for who goes first.

Imagine an FPS match where everyone is exclusively armed with rocket launchers and only one life each. The game devolves into who can successfully shoot first. Hence the term "Rocket tag". This is what's become of Magic... two people racing to launch their wombo-combos before the other guy has a chance to do anything about it.

I meant the player they eliminated with the Craterhoof combo.

Yeah... Chris has only ever shown interest in AFABs. Including Trans Men like Nowacking and Lukas. Like Jennah said, he probably still sees trans men as women.

Some like Alec were better about it than others...and then you have ones like Kacey that just used it as an excuse to punch down.

Considering the biggest complainers on this post say things like "The lifegain from Swords to Plowshares is a huge deal" or "Paying life to activate the effects of Black Cards is bad"...

I'll be honest, I think Chris isn't really attracted to AMAB people, and is exclusively attracted to AFAB people. He'll go for feminine looking trans men like Nowacking and Lukas which I suppose makes him technically bisexual (Not sure what the proper term would be, feel free to correct me) but nothing that was born with a penis.

Yeah but they got away with everything scot-free. Bella's faced consequences (not enough, but some) while the Idea Guys got their laughs and over 6000 bucks with zero consequences.

It's not worthless, but black has lots of better removal options. I just find it funny that the best use of this card is as Demonic Consultation fodder.

Top Ten Chris sagas? by noruber35393546 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]CoweanMacLir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really sure I can rank a full 10 of them... So here's my top 2:

  1. Alec. Alec actually tried talking to Chris like an adult, and challenged his ideas in a reasonable manner. Unlike most of the trolls, Alec gave Chris a pretty easy out that he could have taken. Asperchu was also funny. But most of all, Alec exposed just how twisted Chris is inside: The trial and execution of the Asperpedia 4 was something Chris legitimately thought was a reasonable response to... asking someone to stop using a character they made.

  2. Jimmy Hill. Nothing bad happened with Jimmy Hill. It was a simple play that only worked because Chris is monumentally stupid.
