#Chuggas lost innocence

[aquillis-main]

"I want to go back to the days where nobody got fired over internet beef, and drama wasn't done by people who want to entice the mob while also pretending they're innocent uwu angels about it"

So never then

For as much as people claim that the old days online were great, they severely downplay the raids and flame wars of yesteryear, amongst other issues. Doxxing much like how it's a serious problem now was rampant back then, for even pettier reasons, especially on say, Sonic Cult. Forums raids similarly were common and shitty, which led to some sites flat out barring guests from even SEEING posts without an account. A lot of history on those forums is lost now cuz of that, as online archivers can't access

I feel people also fail to realize long time greats got away with harassment for years BECAUSE of their status. Shitty behavior was either accepted or behind the scenes, and only now bursting cuz the victims can't take it anymore. We saw this in real life with Vic Mignogna harassing women in conventions, and a huge fuss of fans defended him. You had people genuinely hurt, but Monica Real just stirred shit for attention, and then fans took advantage of that to strawman

The whole thing with Chugga is a bunch of nothingwater. It's already fizzling out

More importantly, I'm getting tired how often people rose tint the internet, like it ONLY got bad after 2010, when it was already shit for decades. We just were too naive or young to notice then.

Honestly this dangerously sounded like "Cancel culture is real" when it really isn't

Chugga’s Lost Innocence

Also called/Sub-memes: Do Daisy on Hard, Chuggaa Wood, Emile x Daisy, Daisy’s heart-shaped box

Channel of origin: The Runaway Guys (technically ProtonJon’s Twitch)

Explain the joke: During TRG’s first livestream on ProtonJon’s Twitch channel, the group played a game of Mario Party 6 on the board Faire Square. Since there was no guest to be player 4, they had to pick their AI opponent and difficulty, with Jon suggesting Daisy. When asking what difficulty to set Daisy to, Emile very awkwardly worded his question “Should we do Daisy on hard?” a wording choice that Jon had to repeat twice in disbelief, and chat called him out on.

During an early minigame in which players are searching for underwater treasure chests, Emile again used questionable word choice as he stated “And I get… wood” as he found a wooden treasure chest. While Jon missed the quote at the time, chat certainly didn’t. Emile soon made it worse by pointing out that it was almost morning, making it into a “morning wood” joke, and a comment in chat made a connection to the earlier quote, saying “Well now you’re ready to do Daisy on hard.”

Later, the 1-vs-3 minigame Crate and Peril came up with Daisy as the single player, holding and tilting a box that the other three players have to run around inside, avoiding obstacles. Deciding to have fun with the joke ship/running gag, Emile declared “I am inside Daisy’s heart-shaped box.” He knew it was a song reference, and just assumed it was referring to a heart-shaped Valentines chocolate box, and Jon had to spell it out for him, stating “It means vagina!”

Soon after the stream, Lucahjin visited with TRG to record the Littlebigplanet 2 LP and refused to let Emile live down his Daisy comments, especially as she played as Daisy in Fortune street, pointing out anything Emile said that could be turned into innuendo and telling him to read the book she got him (which I plan on making a separate post for). When TRG started their LP of Mario Party 5, Emile had hinted that he’d be playing as Toad since Donkey Kong was no longer a playable character. However, due to the infamous stream, Emile decided to play as Daisy instead, saying goodbye to his sanity as he picked her.

‪Thank you Proton Jon for reminding me that today's Chugga's Wood Day! It's been three years Emile, how do you feel now? 😆‬ If this can make him feel better, I myself had no idea what a heart-shaped box is until Jon had mention what it means. My innocence was lost long ago anyhow, but at least he's not the only one who had learned about it recently.

Chugga’s Lost Innocence is still a hilarious stream.

Chugga’s Lost Innocence: the Trilogy

Channel of origin: The Runaway Guys (technically ProtonJon’s Twitch)

Explain the joke: Due to his sheltered upbringing and tendency to talk before thinking, Emile is prone to making accidental innuendo or needing certain terms explained to him. Those moments especially tend to come up during TRG livestreams, with three particularly memorable instances being referred to as Chugga’s Lost Innocence Parts 1, 2, and 3.

The original Chugga’s Lost Innocence (doing Daisy on hard) has its own post here.

The second “Chugga’s Lost Innocence” moment happened during TRG’s “Free from Dokapon” stream, when the group (plus Masae) played a couple rounds of Quiplash. During the final round of one game, the players were given a prompt to come up with an insult using the word “Twerk”. Tim‘s response of “You queef twerky beef jerky” won the round, leading to Emile asking the others what a “queef” is. Masae commented that she was going to ask if Emile knew that word, Tim compared the moment to the infamous original “Lost Innocence” incident, and Jon just repeated “NO” over and over again before pretending to end the stream. Masae let chat explain the term to Emile, so nobody in the room had to say it on stream. Emile then used “queef” during the first round of the following game in an attempt to own the joke and show off his “new knowledge”.

A couple different moments from TRG’s Super Mario Party stream are considered to make up Chugga’s Lost Innocence 3.

While Waluigi was on-screen, Emile was impressed by how much detail was put into the textures on the character model, particularly in the clothes. However, the words Emile picked to word that thought were “Waluigi’s overalls are very… sexily detailed.” After Jon, Tim, and Masae reacted predictably to the odd word choice, Emile’s attempt at explaining that he thought “the leather looks cool” only dug himself deeper.

During a later co-op minigame, the players are tasked with working together to push Toad’s balloon into as many smaller balloons as they can, using fans to push him as he rose through the stage. When Toad’s balloon reached Emile, he explained “I think I just want to maybe blow him a little bit,” and didn’t realize the accidental innuendo even after Jon repeated the unfortunate word choice with a sarcastic “thanks, Emile,” instead assuming Jon was mad about the gameplay choice. After some teasing from Jon and Masae about how innocent and precious he was for not realizing, and likely seeing chat’s reaction, Emile finally realized how his words could’ve been interpreted, insisting that he was just trying to be helpful, with Masae and Jon joking that he was VERY helpful, and that Toad is thankful and very pleased.
