Sonichu has so much… Let’s say intertextual baggage, that it, more than a lot of art, is inseparable from the, uh…art and art criticism, that it helped spawn.
Like, more than Sonichu itself, I think the 100 part Chris-chan documentary is more interesting as bad art. It comes out of this incredibly toxic online millieu of harassment and stalking, that ends up saying more about the community that birthed it, then it does about its nominal subject
Her*, (unless there’s a Chris-chan detransition arc that I’m unaware of) but yeah it’s a wild and honestly pretty sad story. Chris-chsn is obviously someone who needs a lot of help, but instead was serially harassed by the internet’s weirdest little freaks

The whole thing is wild. I went down a rabbit hole of sonichu and chris-chan for a solid two days when I found out about him.
