🎨 Artcow Iconoclast / Jonathan Mack Sweet - The Chris-Chan of Arkansas

[AnOminous]

Yep, just like Christian Chandler. Doesn't know how to read humans, so he just emulates them. I would add that the reason that we see such vitriolic bigotry from Jon is the fact that he's such a small man, he has to constantly put down others to feel better about himself, and to feel that he has power over them, and those that intimidate him. That's the way he learned ... from being a bottom-feeder.

Isn't he pretty fat? How tall is he?

 

[John Titor]

Can someone explain something to me? Sweets went to college in the mid ninety's which means he largely grew up eighties. Where did he get all the racist stuff like naming his characters Google Joe or Coontown George or whatever? I can't imagine the media being that full of racist stuff in the eighties.

He's a fan of politically incorrect cartoons from the 40s so I'm guessing he found a stash of it somewhere. Perhaps a relative? I know he had a hardon for Coal Black and watched a lot of Dick Tracy when the broadcasters at the time had looser restrictions. I don't really know how they portray black people in that one though.

The thing with Sweet is this: It's not like he grew up around super racist people with KKK affiliation, it's more like he grew up around people who held some prejudice toward blacks and other minorities. Sweet, being autistic, started emulating these minor racist traits in some inept desire to be accepted by others.

A lot of Sweet's behavior comes down to him copying others in some desperate attempt to be accepted. Sweet just wants to be noticed and accepted by, well, anyone. Notice how he posted a new update after Holdek bumped up this thread. Sweet's a classic attention whore that will go to great lengths to capitalize on the little attention he is getting.

Yeah, old people who grew up seeing blackface gags as a form of good clean fun often find it hilarious when children parrot old-timey racist humor they don't fully understand. With such behavior reinforced by adult approval, it seems likely that young Sweet, hungry for approbation, might become trapped in a positive feedback loop and end up heavily invested in the objectionable comedy of an earlier generation.

I think you're probably right, but I also think it may be a way of shoring up his identity in a parallel of other autistic lolcows.

CWC does this with his supposed English royal ancestry, so he talks now with a cartoonish affect he's probably modeling on Mary Poppins. You see it with ADF, since he thinks he's a communist Latinx, dressing up like fucking Mao Zedong and awkwardly and conspicuously dropping Spanish slang.

So I think that's what Sweet's doing when he writes stuff like, "Leastways, in my day we called a coon boy a 'coon boy.' None of this PC nonsense you call progress down here in the Missouri Bootheel, no siree!"

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I still don't get how Sweet can look at Belch Dimension and easily see what's going on in it.

 

[AJMLurker]

Now, if only Ma Sweet would take away his internet and lock him away in an attic or something...

Really want his mom to take away his internet and TV privileges and then record his reaction.

I know it's wrong to want to watch a retarded man sobbing and throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler, but with Jon Sweet, it would be hilarious. His brothers should be there too to prevent the raging manchild from attacking his mother because you know he will. The moment Jon tries to hit his mom, they'll step in and stomp his shit.

It's probably sort of like how if you have really bad handwriting that nobody else can read, you yourself can probably still understand it.

Lolcows Eliminated:

• Iconoclast/Jonathan M. Sweet

Lolcow Of The Year 2016 (DAY 11)

This happened too fast before I even had a chance to vote for him.

Anyways, there's always next year, Sweetsfans. (And, knowing Sweet, it'll probably be pretty similar to this year...and the 10 before it.)

It's been said before, but Sweet appeals to a niche crowd. I think he's too creepy/weird for people here to enjoy. Also, he can't provide enough content due to his laziness and incompetence. And he's pretty unsympathetic and most people want a lolcow that they can feel emphatic for somewhat. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Better luck next year Sweetums.

 

[John Titor]

Anybody commented on his recent journal recently? I noticed it says "1 reply" but it must be hidden. It must have gotten under his skin.

I noticed that as well and had the same question...although it happened on a post of his way back as well and I asked about it here and someone said they had deleted their own comment, so it could be that. I know he blocked HSMOF from commenting but other than that I don't think I've ever seen him delete a comment. (

Spoiler

He may not know how.

[NobleGreyHorse]

Maybe it's just that he doesn't do a lot. His chimpitude is confined to incorrect responses to shit we say here (e.g. calling Dr. Merk "Leo Greer") on his own DA journal, which isn't read much. He just doesn't do things. He releases a horrible comic issue once in a great while. Black-bodied stick figures against dark and murky backgrounds -- genius idea. And only one of the main cast has clothing, which is a hat and a cape, like some unfashionable flasher. Randall Munroe has actual poignant stick figures in XKCD, and they don't even have faces, which would be a decided improvement over the goldfish lips of the Sweet's-girlfriend character.

Nah, we have to wait for him to release yet another picture of himself looking ugly and prematurely old, and generally the guy you'd be really upset to be stuck on a bus with. (I originally wrote "in a tornado shelter," but a bus would be bad enough.) I do like the pictures of the whole family, because Mama Sweet looks younger than her age, not like the evil Aunt May figure in the time-travel comic, and the brothers are actually kind of handsome if you like stocky guys.

 

[Holdek]

So Sweet posts about forgetting on which day his father died, implies his mother doesn't love him very much, and says that he recently mailed a harassing note to the husband of the girl who trolled him 20 years ago: http://archive.is/GTBAY

Oh boy, an early Christmas present of dumb shit said by a criminally repulsive balding ape. Let's spork it:

My mom asked me if I knew what day it was. I thought it an odd query, but nothing more. Being somewhat distracted with preparing supper at the time -- salmon croquettes and baked potatoes-- I simply answered, "The week before Christmas".

She reminded me that it was the same day my father had died-- Dec 17, 1997. I took a moment to pause and reflect on this.

I seem to remember Johnny using his dad's death a few times to try and get pity, including pity sex. That he can't even remember the date tells you a lot about how much he cared about his dad. Which is to say not at all.

I thought about how lucky Sandi was that she had a support network of family and friends to help her through this terrible time... to say nothing of my brother.

Oh wow, is he going to complain about how he has no one? Oh who am I kidding, of course he will. And he wonders why no one will mourn his passing, except maybe as a "If only I could have gotten Jonathan the psychiatric help he needed" sort of remembrance.

What they have is something truly special. They care for and support one another, in good times and bad. When one is happy, the other shares their joy. When one weeps, the other comforts them. When one stumbles, the other picks them up. I sincerely wished that when I'd lost my dad, I'd had someone in my life that loved me half as much as she loves him, and he loves her.

And here we go. Jonny the exceptional maniac is about to prove why he both deserves and will not ever get any help from others.

I would have dearly appreciated a friend, someone to stand beside me, to be in my corner during my moment of need.

But I didn't. My friends at The Herald had already turned their backs on me. Getting just a little spot of ink in this campus rag of renown, a column in which I could write about my loss, was surely out of the question. No, all I got was a wild phone-fling with a cheap, disturbed little tramp who, when I told her of my father's death, ran out on me... and when she returned after a whole month of silence and found out I had taken up with someone else, ruined not one, but two potential relationships with her petty jealous whining and guilt-trips. On top of that I learn recently that our whole relationship may have been an elaborate, convoluted ploy to send some high-school whore to embarrass and ruin me.

Yep. He's using a person's death as another way to insert his pathetic attempt to rationalize why he was rightfully kicked out of a campus for being a sociopathic freak. The only thing that I will happily comment on, as we've already covered how Jonny was the one to burn his bridges at the paper and the college, is that even if the two relationships were real (lolno) then it's still his fault for trying to two time both of them. I do remember that Jonny did try this, hence why he was rightfully left to die a virgin.

And it takes no effort to ruin a man who is so stupid that he accidentally admitted to such wondrous tales as leaving his mother to die and cowering in the process, taking eight hours to figure out how to leave a tiny building, and that he pisses everywhere like a poorly trained housecat. Troll GF or no, Jonathan Mack Sweet would fuck himself over harder than the coyote from the roadrunner cartoons.

I wrote of all this in my latest book, Red, Yellow, and Blue: The SweetTart Saga. I told of how, during that dark time in my young life, I was exploited by either a cabal of angry Herald editors or a group of disgruntled readers who wished to frighten me away from Arkansas State University-- sick people, all.

Jokes on you Thumbskull, you have to have value to be exploited, and you have none. On top of that, the college goers were not the ones who stalked and harrassed people for longer than an entire generation has been alive. Stop projecting you inept hick.

I then mailed a copy to my ex's house... signed with a little note, a dedication to the man she's with now, saying, "How does it feel to be married to the biggest slut in Trumann, Arkansas?"

I hope my little missive arrives in time for Christmas. Things ought to really heat up 'round their house over the holidays, wouldn'tcha say, amigos?

I kind of hope he gets another visit from the cops for being too retarded to quit committing crime. If only to fuck with his holidays out of some A-loggy level of schadenfreude.

"Honey, this note was attached to the insane rantings of a clearly mentally unstable individual and the scribbled drawings of a developmentally disabled child. How can I not think it has some merit?!"

[Edited to remove "ex's" link - HSMOF]

Just wanted to make sure Jon's link didn't go anywhere. It's weird, it only connects to a picture of a woman. No name, address, nothing. Of course, she looks young and attractive, further solidifying that "Ashleigh" was indeed a troll.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Nobody told Sweet that it's " -- " and not "-- " -- I've notice he always does that.

Oh boy, an early Christmas present [...]

It keeps coming in. Sweet is already responding to Kiwis there. Unsurprisingly, Sweet still thinks Kiwis are idiots, and he denies any fault in his actions as he tries to shift blame to Kiwis instead. And he thinks he has any power to ruin anyone's life other than his own.

People will be hurt. Lives will be ruined. And, again, it'll be your fault.

 

[Shadow Fox]

When told to ask his mother about the shit that went down with Dale:

I tried that. She won't even talk about Dale or hear anything I say about him anymore. That's how badly he hurt her.

It couldn't possibly be that she's just sick of listening to Jon chimp out about Dale every time the subject comes up. No, it could only be because that dastardly cur wounded her so badly she can't bear to speak of him to her dutiful, caring adult autistic child.

He is really going to town in that comment thread. It's pure gold.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

At least Jon's father didn't live to see what a failure his son had become.

His timeline of events is really confusing too. By December 17th most universities would be closed for the fall semester. Why was he still there? Why would the Herald be printing a paper? Why did he think his dead dad would get a woman wet?

I think he meant he died before he used his death as a trump card.

 

[NobleGreyHorse]

A mere few hundred thou? He thinks that's not only not much to ask, but enough to furnish an entire apartment building full of other losers and hire prostitutes for them in perpetuity? Dude. Good thing he didn't major in STEM.

Do you think he actually makes noises of sufficient duration to last as long as pronouncing all those "o"s in "noooo-ooooo" (etc.) would have to, like "Yoooooooung (add five minutes to the O sound) warrior"? I wouldn't think his mold-filled lungs would be capable.

Like many people, I lived in a dorm in undergrad, and therefore don't understand why he thinks college living is such a dream even compared to his current pit of misery. Communal showering? Finding a sink full of ramen because your dorm-mates can't into how drains work, or someone puking violently early on a Sunday morning? People drank a lot at my school, and I got a roommate on an emergency transfer once because she had punched her previous roommate. I mean, I might have also in the same circumstances. A's previous roommate came home very drunk and instead of going to the actual bathroom, thought my new roommate's closet was a toilet cubicle, thus my new roommate was out a number of possessions including a pair of expensive running shoes. But the fact that A. had a reason for punching the incontinent drunk girl didn't comfort me.
