Money Financhu Crisis / Chris sells his stuff megathread

[Okkervils]

But when you start to say "hey Chris, I know for a fact you didn't come up with that nazi reference on your own", he clams up because he knows someone's trying to poke holes in his fantasyland beliefs.

I don't think Idea Guy told him to worry about that either. I think Chris just really loves his fantasyland and really believes it in, because Idea Guy proved it by photoshopping cwcville or some shit, and he's scared people are going to start raining on his parade.

That's a really good point. I mean, Cwcville is basically all Chris has outside of Barb and a couple of friends. I'd imagine the idea of the fantasy ever being ruined or even compromised slightly would terrify him.

Barb was sitting in the driver's seat and had her foot on the gas (literally) at some point during that assault. They both hit Snyder. One of them (not sure which) hit Snyder and then they switched placed and did it again.

I was pretty sure both of them hit him, but do we know which hit him first? I was under the impression it was Chris but I'm not entirely sure.

Y'know, I think trolls make cwcville more important in Chris' head than it would be naturally.

I've said this elsewhere, but Chris really doesn't have a great imagination. At least not a strong enough imagination to be content with purely imaginary girls or imaginary friends. He gets bored really quickly.

Trolls voicing cwcville characters are what keep dragging Chris back into it. Chris will play sock puppet with his toys once in awhile, but he gets bored with that and then seeks out someone else's voice to talk to. But of course, he's also incredibly lazy, and if he can get a daycare playmate voice without leaving his house... well, then Idea Guy it is!

When faggots stop pestering him, he begrudgingly goes out to seek IRL friends, and he does a middling but tolerable job at that.

He almost got away from all this shit. It used to be trivially easy for him to just not pick up for any strange phone numbers. For like 3 years after Bob died, we heard absolutely nothing from Chris. But then people started paying him money...

Edit: Like Chris likes video games more than cwcville, for example. I think without troll involvement, cwcville is just one of the toys he plays with once in awhile when he remembers he has it.

That still cracks me up. That they got out, switched seats, and bumped him again. I mean the amount of high pitched, panicky southern gibberish that they were worbling to each other in the midst of that must have been spectacular.

Yeah, it might've been Chris. It's somewhere in his retelling of the events.

Yeah, haha, like jesus. That's a crazy story. Hitting the man twice, by accident? Goddamn.

I really don't get why people would overestimate the strength of his imagination so much. Like they would comment on the comic "lul if chriz can make himself a powerful flying hedgehog man fighting alongside transformers and power rangers den y won't he give himself a girlfriend in the comic then?" - no, stop, Chris isn't that delusional. He fully well knows that this shit isn't real so inventing himself a fictional girlfriend wouldn't satisfy him any more than the average man. He knows perfectly well that all that fantasy shit is well, fantasy. His sanity has only been challenged recently with those cwcville characters talking to him and shit, which I admittedly found surprising.

 

[Bugaboo]

If Barb wants money so bad why doesn't she force Chris to sell his thousand and one lego sets he bought with all the money he claimed was for her various health issues

 

[Mason Verger]

And then assault a police officer when he comes to sort the mess out. Easily Charbs most gangster moment. I think it's kinda bad-ass that Chris doesn't give a fuck about the police.
To anybody that calls Chris a pussy, have YOU ever given a persuing officer "da finger" while in the midst of escaping a trespassing charge?

Yet another thing Chris beats ADF at, for a proud anti establishment anal chest. Phil doesn't have one lick the record OPL has.

Chris actually had a chance to turn himself into a franchise. Think of it as the village idiot realizing he IS the idiot so might as well ask for donations. No one is laughing at you if you're trying to make people laugh. But it seems a series of poor decisions will always follow Chris no matter what.

What I want to know in all of this is what that 'very bad thing' was. My money is that Chris got very mad and did something he instantly regretted to someone. That someone demanded payment to not press charges. This is 100% speculation on my part with nothing to back it up but that's just where my own mind is going.

This is why people should not be angry over Chris getting money, he's just going to squander it and be broke next time.

That fucking shocked me to be honest. I was under the impression he knew it was fantasy, had fun occasionally pretending, but still knew... I'm not sure what to think about it anymore.

Despite Cwcville and Sonichu fading from Chris' interests when not prompted to return to it, I still think it's very important to him in regards to how he identifies himself. He's an 'artist' and a creative soul~~ kinda shit. Sonichu is his proof (to him).

 

[Wintermute]

He's certainly already dumped Jack Z's money into Brony Con and might be trying desperately NOT to get the money back at the behest of Barb.

I'm just curious what the BIG UNSPEAKABLE might be. I'm inclined to doubt its just a ruse on Chris's end, because of all this recent talk of being coerced. I know a lot of people are saying it's a smokescreen and lazy excuse on Chris's end, but I don't think it's anything we've seen fully yet.

How could Chris Franchise himself? His invention is totally criminal to start.

 

[Deadpool]

Chris has scammed plenty of people out of money. Chris could work. He doesn't need a taxpayer funded tugboat. He dragged his feet on his etsy and patreon obligations and in some cases didn't fulfill them at all. He never made more sonichu after dstecks paid him $1000 and it looks like he spent the bronycon money jack gave him. All those half assed paid videos. And every time he gets on camera with some sob story it's a lie to scam people out of money. If someone scammed him I don't have any pity for him.

I don't think there was intent to scam with the etsy thing. Chris probably intended to fufill the orders, but he's well Chris. Scams imply malciousness not stupidty and laziness. I'm not trying to defend his actions, what he did was extremely shitty, but it wasn't a scam.

As for DStecks he himself is on the record as saying he didn't really give a shit if Chris made the comics or not. It was more of him feeling bad about making money by mocking Chris and his comics.

I think Barb is ignorant of just how much money Chris wastes. She may see Lego and action figures as inexpensive toys, not realizing just how much they cost. Same with video games, especially digital downloads. Doubt the old crone can wrap her head around thousands of dollars worth of vidya being installed on his consoles.

If anyone expects Barb to cheap track of all the pony figures and lego he has, they're more autistic than he is.

Job saga WHEN?! I can't wait for the day I see the thread title "Chris gets a Job, maces manajerk for using improper pronoun"

Not sonichu, but himself and his life. People take a (possibly unhealthy) interest in his life and want to follow him. He is unique and interesting. I could see him as an Andy Kaufman type of the internet in that regard.

There is value in the following he has unknowingly built. Many people would love to have the type of reach Chris does in terms of audience size. Sadly, he is the dog who chases a car. He caught the car and now has no idea what to do with it.

As for anger, I don't know why anyone would be mad at Chris. He just does what he does. It's like being mad at bees for stinging you. It's just what they do. Chris is a unique individual who has a knack for making incredibly poor decisions. That's just who he is.

Chris no way tells her either, he may be a dummy but he's still trying his wheeling and dealing when he can.

I still don't see how Chris can turn this into money when unlike Kaufman Chris does this for free because he can't figure how to make money off due to the tism.

Also he wants to be loved and respected, Kaufman or other acts even Jace didn't give a fuck when they got trolled and hated as those were shows. Chris is Chris.

 

[Mason Verger]

Barb was savvy enough to buy Chris off-brand versions of the toys he wanted as a kid.

What's sad is that 27 years later and it's still the same toy problems..
