Sonichu mentioned during IGN Sonic the Hedgehog movie quiz featuring James Marsden -

[TopCat]

So, IGN just released this video featuring James Marsden, the actor who's starring in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Turns out, Sonichu is brought up as one of the questions during a quiz where James has to answer whether or not a statement is true or false. Relevant part is at 0:49:

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

He doesn't even know what Sonichu is, and Chris is going to be like "HAREM NOW, Mr. MARSDEN!" Then he's going to be like, "In C-197, where I am married to Mr. Marsden's OC, this answer is correct! In fact, Sonic & Sonichu are brothers!"

 

[Subconcious Offense]

This is how the next batch of people will come to pay for Chris's living expenses and toys.

 

[Tennis-Ball-Tony]

That slow, faint hissing noise we're all hearing is Chris's ego inflating even further.

 

[deadson]

It'll be true to Chris, and I would not be surprised to see him ree about it.

 

[Coolio55]

That's better than the alternative. I thought Chris had gone the way of many a tranny and taken a liking to butt garments.

 

[Hogar Grupal]

With this and MLP x Transformers, can we expect more chimpouts from Chris?

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

I can imagine boomers hearing Sonichu as Soni-Chew and trying to buy the breakfast cereal for their grandchildren.

 

[Jack Awful]

I've always been fascinated by the mainstream SJW-leaning nerd community occasionally referencing Sonichu and Chris while constantly shitting on us for being toxic bullies.

A still from the video with the Sonichu question:

 

[Mason Verger]

Haha watch Chris try to sue for royalties.

 

[Glad I couldn't help]

Now somebody needs hack Sonic Forces to add in the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon.

 

[Hogar Grupal]

Haha watch Chris try to sue for royalties.

The "Weston Chandler" negotiation

Don't you understand? Chris trooned out, so he instantly and magically "redeemed HERself"!

 

[Mason Verger]

Good luck trying dislodge the merge from Chris's head now. In way, his characters are slowly spilling out into the real world.

 

[Marissa Moira]

This is how the next batch of people will come to pay for Chris's living expenses and toys.

Nah that will be the documentary they make.

Like Forest Gump crossed with A Beautiful Mind, it could win best picture.

Steve Carrel could play him since he's always being type cast into a role like that,

We must find a final solution to the sonichu question

 

[Notgoodwithusernames]

enjoy this while it lasts Chris. This is as close as you'll get to actual fame. A mediocre entertainment news website and a c list actor saying the name of your OC.

I think one of my early warning signs of Cracked.com was when they were first starting to push more sensitive "you cant say this or that about group x because it hurts feefees" articles while at the same time having some photoshop contest with the winning image mocking Chris Chan.

I think it's because the business model a lot of current media has.
Paying workers is usually the main expense in any business, if some ruthless businessman can get people to work for him for free, even if the labour is unprofessional and shitty, he's for something big because most of them don't even need chains around their necks,
Platforms like Buzzfeed are actually pretty good at turning that unprofessional style into an adventage, Buzzfeed allows pretty much everyone to work for them as long as they do it for free, and their platform promotes an structure through which the """journalist""" in question connects easier with your average low-brow reader through consumer culture references, clickbait, ads disguised as news, etc...
The founder of Buzzfeed, Jonah Peretti, was an unironical marxist (follower of Guilles Deleuze's postmaterialist postmodernist neomarxism to be more precise) that after leaving college was poor as sin and made a huge blast with such business model after wondering what the next step in human explotaition may be after the end of Capitalism and Wage Labour: Voluntarily Slavery.
You can't make this ship up, I swear I am not making it up.

You can see pretty much all other online news outlets like IGN, Vox, Vice News or Slate trying to plagiarise Buzzfeed's business model.
Why is this important? Because some journos and businessmen have a huge incentive to use places like this as free labour, for example, linking our "research" as their source during casual mentions, you can ask Josh about that, he sure knows a lot about it:

Kiwi Farms Media Mentions

hello yes I am looking for all "LAMESTREAM MEDIA" mentions of KF. this is a class 1 threat level z project of most urgent needs. Mentions I could find. Gold stars meaning publications that aren't utterly irrelevant. General Fearmongering...

kiwifarms.net

There will never be another Buzzfeed, and businessmen know that, but they have discovered that there are still lots and lots of untappered free resources in the net to be untapped.
Now that free labour is more difficult, what's next? Automation: Using the archives of websites such as this to automatically write articles with an AI, website archives regularly made by governments, archive.org, archive.md, Gwern.net... are frecuently used to train huge AI models.
Places like KF can provide an unlimited amount of creativity, ideas and innovation for such AI models to be trained on.

Spoiler: offtopic

So yeah, as a matter of fact, now I realise that writting this probably helps to further my problem even more. Losing my job and hunting rats or collecting scrap while trying to not get kidnapped for organs, sexual slavery or meat, all that will happen sightly sooner. And eventually we will be defeated by a superior intelligence into either submission or turning our body into fuel, so let's praise Moloch and I wholeheartly welcome our future AI overlords because the meek shall inherit the Earth :^)
This is like climate collapse, you can slow it but you can't prevent it, you can disable cookies, use tor, don't buy anything online not even using crypto (especially don't use crypto), don't use Google or Microsoft products, use free-source alternatives, etc... but you are eventually fucked, tech can become better or stop completely its development but it can never ever worsen, and the trend is there, welcome to a dark glimpse of the future my friend, enjoy your stay. I personally cannot wait to know if I get to be tortured by either machines or extremely sadistic cocaine-addicted Randroid upper class aristocrats, changes are that I'm not going to avoid the failing into the pit during the downfall of the world as a we know it

TL;DR: They do so to save cost in the short run and eventually get free labour through a minimal human input (that is free as well, i.e. Facebook users don't earn shit for training hundreds of AIs while not knowing it) and automation. Oh, also, being a poorfag sucks!

James Marsden is super cute tbh.
