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

[sonichuis44]

So we all know that Sweet Bro ultimately dreams of going back to school. It'll never happen, but what if it did? Would reality finally sink in for dude? If he was allowed back on campus, we all know what a HUGE disaster it would be for him. Not to mention, he expects to score china when he returns there. How would he go about that? Calling random phone numbers from the magical sex-phone?



I wager Sweetness is making that up. He seems to have a habit of bullshitting certain details about his life to make himself seem more badass. According to Sweet, he been with like four other girls besides Ashleigh and the friend his mother hooked him up with.

It would be a disaster, but at no point would he realize it was a disaster of his own making. It would just be proof that ~the liberals~ have taken over, the feminazis have decreed that novelty baseball caps and dirty flannel shirts are somehow off putting, and the PC gestapo is so overbearing that an innocent 40 year old can't even do comedy routines about eating pussy in the dining hall anymore.

Sweets isn't interested in going back into academics for normal reasons likes wanting to learn about a subject and go to lectures, he wants to have phone sex and watch cartoons on the cable tv. He'll get there and be confused by everyone using smart phones and using the internet to stream tv shows, he'd get angry and leave but it wouldn't change him at all, he'll just blame liberals and just fantasize about half past 1997 even more now that its actually gone. Maybe he'd create his own CWCville in his comics to represent his vision of college?

I truly wish reality TV producers would pick up on lolcows. Let's send Iconoclast back to school. Let's get Chris-chan to work on Sonichu as a viable franchise. Let's record Gloria Tesch directing Maradonia. Let's send Pixyteri to Japan to be an idol.
It would be some of the greatest entertainment that's ever been on television. But no, instead we have 100 different versions of "slutty people participate in manufactured drama"

One of the more interesting things for me about CWC is how his conception of pop culture is shaped by his only real social interaction having been with his aged parents, which means that Sonichu will have references to Monty Python and Gilligan's Island next to Pokemon and the Power Rangers.

Sweet Bro doubles down on this. He's clearly very knowledgeable about the golden age of animation - when he's on YouTube and he isn't watching horrifying fetish videos he's searching out old cartoons and leaving arcane scraps of trivia in the comments section. However, like Chris, Sweet seems to have no grasp of what his audience are likely to be familiar with. Thus, he'll bring up obscure old cartoons or TV shows, often out of context, and this makes him seem out-of-touch. HSMOF pointed out the other day how Sweet was wearing a baseball cap with a 70s ad slogan, in the late 90s. If he had any self-awareness and did it ironically, it might be cool - but he doesn't, and so he doesn't, and thus it isn't.

I presume it's supposed to be some kind of booty joke

I think "Tin Boo Tee" is supposed to be a stereotypical Chinese/Korean-sounding name that isn't even Chinese or Korean, and Sweet thinks that the Far East is one homogenous culture and region, just like Phil/ADF obviously thinks all of Latin America is a homogenous Mexico-like culture, and how that silly riddle CWC made up seemed to portray various regions of the world in an overly simplified way.

It looks like lolcows learn about the world beyond the tiny part of it they live in only from non-educational cartoons primarily intended for children.

I think they've talked about Chris in discussions about weebs on 2ch from what I've heard. I don't know if Sweet is talked about on 2ch or other Japanese sites though.

I still can't wrap my head about the "go to college, women start calling you and mewling for you like a cat in heat, ?????, profit".

As if being in an educational facility is the equivalent of Viagra for women, but these conditions aren't replicated in any other facet of life.

Sweets had a surprising amount of lucky breaks in ASU. He got a girl that was bored enough to fuck around with him with phone sex and actually meet him in person (or someone did) and he had a personal friend in a manager position at the newspaper, giving him a lot of leeway. Had he actually done anything with that had, we could be talking about Sweets, the guy who turned an innocent prank into a hot wife and a friend in a paper into staunch reporting at some Conservative-leaning newspaper, with a saner Belch Dimension produced as a side project or a web comic (with a less dumb name).

When you consider how many times Sweets had the easy way out, it's hilarious when you see him literally fuck up every opportunity and still say he came out on top.

If I recall, Howard Stern defines his Wack Pack as people who don't understand why they're funny. If only someone told Sweet Bro about satellite radio, he could have found his route to nationwide exposure of the AS(S)U Conspiracy!

For the record, Japanese does not have a "bah" or a "bao" (although you can combine several characters to make them sound like them) and I have no idea what the hell he's talking about.

And I'm curious on how we got blocked from deviantart.

He doesn't know what he's talking about either. Japanese has no native "ti" sound (although with English media becoming more popular, the younger generation can generally pronounce it correctly when it comes up in loanwords). The correct transliteration would indeed be "chin." The name also doesn't conform to Japanese naming conventions, and sounds way more like a Chinese or Korean name. It's possible she was ethnically Chinese or Korean and just raised in Japan, of course, but I wouldn't expect Sweets to do any kind of, you know, research or anything.

Is he changing his story about getting fired from the paper? He's now saying they were all jealous of his popularity; wasn't he saying they were threatened by his hardcore conservativism before?

Kiwi Farms is banned from DA? How exactly do you ban a whole forum from a website?

Hilarious that Sweets still lurks here. Hi buddy! We miss you. You should post here, some of us legitimately want to talk to you.

 

[Ruin]

What an absolute coward. He takes shots at the farms while hiding in his hugbox. Real conservatives like Sean Hannity and Bill O Reily love them or hate them at least engage in debate with their detractors.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

One way one could write "tin boo tee" in Japanese would be 「チンブーチー」("chin buu chii").* Like you said, the ridiculous name Sweet came up with is not a native name.

I see I got screencapped. Also, Sweet accuses me of being ignorant. That's hilarious. Iconoclast "nobody told him" Sweet concocts a (likely stereotypical) Japanese character with a mangling of a non-Japanese name (because Sweet's knowledge of Asia is probably limited to what he sees in cartoons on the glowing picture box) - to make an immature pun.

Also, the character is named after a bastardization of the name of someone from ASU. Sweet really can't let go, can he?

Call me insane, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's just saying that so he doesn't have to link the Farms and source these alleged claims.

It's very, very easy to win an argument with someone when you don't invite the person to the fucking table.

Trying to go to Kiwi Farms will give you a "Blocked Link" page which can easily be circumvented by copying and pasting the link.

(not that they'll ever admit it's their own fault, of course).

So, if I miss an arbitrary deadline for updating my website or posting to my blog by a few hours, it's not my fault.

(a bunch of blahblah about how we're meanie stupidheads for pointing out a flaw in his comic and how said flaw totally makes sense)

So, if I'm following Sweet's explanation correctly, the sequence of events was this:
1. Sweetums finds humor in a misspelling of the name "Tin Boo Yee", that of a Chinese immigrant, during his time at ASU.
2. Years later, Sweets comes up with a random Asian character for his comic, modeling her after a Japanese exchange student he knew and giving her the aforementioned misspelled name.
3. Despite not only knowing that the photographer after whom he named the character was of a different nationality entirely, but also finding out later (after some - gasp! - research?!?!) that the name he chose does not fit Japanese phonetic conventions, rather than changing the character's nationality or giving her an appropriate name, he performs all kinds of semantic gymnastics trying to insist that a Chinese name could work as a Japanese name, maybe, if you alter it a whole bunch.
4. Sweets, as always, remains ignorant to the fact that Japanese names are made up of two words (family name and given name), never three.

tl;dr Sweets is lazy and ignorant and can't be arsed to do anything correctly, news at eleven.

And lawwwwwwll oh jesus that photo at the end of Sweet taking himself and his awful comic way too seriously again.

Spoiler: gigantic (but hilarious) picture

You see, I have to share the Internet with the rest of my family, which means whenever someone needs to go online I have to concede the computer and put my whole damn life on hold while they record their mad def beats or try to buy a brace of goats for their precious Facebook farm before time runs out on one of those auction games they hold every ten minutes. So, if I miss an arbitrary deadline for updating my website or posting to my blog by a few hours, it's not my fault.

It's totally not his fault that he's a middle aged man and can't afford his own computer, guys.

And his whole damn life revolves around a computer that's not even his. Damn that's sad.

I thought he lived with just his mother? Is his criminal brother living with them too?

 

[ToroidalBoat]

It's hilarious how it seems that whenever Sweet tries to defend himself, he just ends up powerleveling and revealing even more "interesting" stuff about himself.

Is his criminal brother living with them too?

From what I remember (and assuming Sweet kept the story straight), at least some of the time. Sweet was complaining earlier in this thread how his brother pretty much ran the place and only let Sweet have the car on Sundays.

 

[Le Bateleur]

I think the latest is that Weed Bro (as I'm going to refer to Sweet Bro's drug-loving brother) is either in prison or living with his wife/girlfriend and daughter. This, however, does not prevent Sweet Bro from using the possibility that Weed Bro may come back as an excuse for not being in control of his own money, or being able to own a mobile phone.

I think that his sister may also live with him in his mom's house, but I'm not sure. Since Jon hasn't really brought up his sister in his stories, I think we tend not to speculate too much about her.

Anyway, the fact that he doesn't have his own computer is sad but unsurprising. I guarantee that for $25 or less, Jon could find a PC of a vintage he'd be familiar with, on eBay or Craigslist or similar. But of course no-one told him about those and he doesn't control his own money and thus can't buy things online...

 

[Shadow Fox]

So is the laptop he claims to have bought last Black Friday his, or the family's? The way he was carrying on about it I assumed it was his personal computer...but then again, this is the same guy who claims that his mom lives with him when we all know it's the other way around.

Also, was going to mention this is my last post but forgot : I find it really funny that one of the linked journals on his dA page is something to the effect of "Why you and your comic get ignored."
