The video labels it as a bench press demo, which they do at the beginning of the video before they rap. Richard Kiel is indeed there, saying "think big" out of time with the other two during the song, LOL. The whole thing was to promote Think Big, one of their other movies, which Richard Kiel was in. I have no idea how they landed the gig, and it's clear they don't understand what's going on beyond some cues, which is pretty great. Richard Kiel just keeps pretending to beat people up or crush their heads. The whole video is here if you're interested (the lyrics are truly terrible): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E3Wq5CIFwY

Miss Wallace posted:Aw, thanks! It's all good now. And honestly guys, Noah is a lot better than he was and we get along fine. I can't speak for his work, but at least on a personal level, he seems in a much better place. His girlfriend April is also a super nice person and she's always been great to me. This is good to hear  I hope he continues to find stability in his life.

I recently saw Think Big with my buddy when we decided to kill our brains and watch all of the Paul Bros films, it's cool to see that they tried to promote it in Japan for...reasons? Think Big is actually probably my favorite, if only for the horrifying ending that is just a tonal 180 that is played for a cheap laugh. It has a lot of elements there for being an actual good lighthearted summer flick, but it just outright weird.

TPP isn't MGS4 - it's got the opposite proportions of story to gameplay. I would expect complaining about the amount of time spent moving between missions/helicopter time. But I honestly have no idea what to expect from them on this game. It's completely different from everything else I've seen them review.

Thank you for being so honest and so courageous as to share this stuff with us. As infuriating and hilarious as parts of Sonichu and Chris can be, the whole saga is absolutely miserable, and in your more recent videos you've been communicating that tragedy pretty well. I can't say I'm not looking forward to your last Sonichu video, but I'm also looking forward to what you do next.

Thanks for the personal insight, Dstecks I too have done some things in my life that I wasn't proud of, in terms of being unkind to other people, and I still regret it. Considering I still remember moments where people were particularly unkind to me, and feel that some of them had a lasting impact on my psyche, I've got no doubt that the recipients of my unkindness remember it too. It's easy to try and bury it all and dismiss it, and it took real bravery for you to own up to it.

OldMemes posted:I picked up So Bad, It's Good 2: Electric Bookaloo for holiday reading, and rather enjoyed it. The writer seems more confident this time, and there's a good vairety of obscure material in there. Lupa, did you write the Baywatch Nights entry, or just the Baywatch one? The formatting confused me a bit there. I was suprised to learn that Baywatch Nights ran AT THE SAME TIME as the the main show. I thought it was a spin-off made after the show ended, but nope, Mitch apparently goes from being a lifeguard in the day to fighting vampires at night. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the book! I also find it much better than the first.  Sorry about the confusion over the Baywatch/Baywatch Nights authorship! Given that they fit so naturally as a pairing, I never even considered that it would also seem natural that Allison might have written both.

Dstecks giving context to the comic and illustrating the tragic nature of the Chris-Chan saga is why his review of Sonichu I feel holds up. While I feel Chris-Chan is a terrible person, I cannot help but feel some form of pity for her. I am interested in the final Sonichu episode, but also in where Dstecks goes from here.

Chris's trolls were never pleasant people but it's kinda insidious how so many of them seemed to just stop being assholes poking at another rear end in a top hat and went full-on rabid puppy and began whinging about SJWs and essentially denigrating Chris for being transgendered once she came out as such (especially since they'd always been on Chris's case for being a colossal and unapologetic homophobe for years at that point). Maybe that's just the mentality that drives people to troll like that bubbling up to the surface. You know, like a white guy seeming to be sort of racist but only revealing that they're a full-on David Duke racist after a black guy moves in next door to them. I don't know.

Self-loathing seems to be a huge component of trolling, for sure. I can imagine that they would get defensive and wounded if they saw their target become happier or move toward personal fulfillment in light of that. She was probably only such a good target in the first place because they saw themselves somewhere in her.

Ultimately, it seems like the terrible things she's done and said are only used as fuel and justification for the trolling. They did start just because she wrote a horrible comic, after all. Her true moral degeneracy was only discovered afterwards. I used to be of the opinion that the trolls were "reather weirdly obsessed, but not entirely terrible and the bad things CWC does is their own fault", but I randomly saw their Holding Out For a Hero video and had this intense whiplash epiphany of...I dunno, just how deep her hole is, I guess. The trolling was never about calling her out, just poking someone who is severaly, severaly autistic and laughing when she does weird stuff. That some of the stuff she does is completely awful is unrelated. Both groups can go to hell. WickedHate fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Sep 6, 2015 |

If I have one criticism of your review, it is that the realization that Chris-Chan is a victim of major child abuse even before the trolling does not really become apparent until after the trolls start coming in. Hell, it was not until after seeing your review I read up and Chris-Chan and learned of her upbringing. I feel to properly understand the tragedy of Chris-Chan, some of the upbringing needs to be known to the audience before the trolls enter the story.

The story of Chris-Chan would make for an interesting documentary, if you managed to keep the trolls from having any involvement with the production. Really, anyone can talk about Sonichu and how lovely it is. But to really understand it, you have to understand Chris, and her history.
