As far as I know, Shad really didn't start too much shit with people until he became a junkie where that characterization completely flipped on it's head and he ruined his life be cutting the thin line of acceptance he had with other creators by starting shit with everybody. Chris isn't the kind of person to jump down people's throats for being involved in tasteless things which is a good trait of his, so I think it's poor characterization of Chris to act like being friendly with Shad is some kind of blot on his record.
Sure, maybe in person. But before he went completely off the rails he was still drawing cartoon CP, drawing keemstars daughter and LT Corbis(regardless of what anyone thinks of these people thats just fucking gross) and drew the child actress from Logan. All before he became a certified cow.
I dont think it's a poor characterization to point out that all of the sleepycabin, minus Jeff, were all buddy buddy with the dude in spite of his extremely sketchy bullshit. Especially when it later came to light that he used real CP as references. Which reminds me.
During one of the sleepycasts Spaz himself just outright admits to looking at CP for references, phrasing roughly as "illegal type of pussy you're not supposed to talk about".
I'm not passing moral judgment on Chris or anyone, other than Shad and Spaz, because I'm not their friend and dont give a real fuck since it doesnt impact me. He, and the rest, are just random internet people who make me lol. I'm just pointing out that it's weird that everyone pretends like it's totally not fuckin weird that this is a group of people who were a-ok with their friends being pedophiles. And it's extra odd how people seem to get personally offended and white knight for a bunch of dudes who don't know you or give a fuck, or care what anyone thinks.
Then again, this is also a thread that had pages and pages of spergery over Oney being cheated on/cucked as if it was their personal friend who got fucked over. Cults of personality are a hell of a drug I guess.
