You don't have to reply to this, but, I've always disliked king Chris for some reason and I could never put my finger on it. It's not that he's more annoying or cringe than other anime content accounts, just some reason I could never identify made me viscerally dislike him. Like, I cannot stand the sight of this man's face or his voice and I have no idea why. Now that he's reposted someone's art and made NO effort to credit I can kinda be at ease because I have a concrete reason, not just a random feeling for disliking him lmao. I scrolled and scrolled his comments and he even commented and didn't credit. I saw one comment only crediting you on Twitter from someone else. You'd think such a big creator would understand crediting but I guess not since his face is plastered all over his content.
im not about to pick beef with king chris.
tbh i think my anger about this goes a bit deeper and at the end of the day has nothing to do with king chris
the one video praising my work being exposed to millions doesn’t have my credit listed.

Geralt probably cried the first time Ciri called him dad
Ciri: hey Dad can I go down to the creek with Lambert and engage in childlike tomfoolery
Geralt: yeah that's fine just be careful to not split your head open. I know you like Lambert but you don't want to end up like Lambert
Ciri: fair enough, thanks!
Geralt: dinners in an hour by the way!
Ciri: okay Dad!
*two minutes later*
Geralt: oh my gods she called me Dad
Vesemir: you just realized that?
Geralt: *already tearing ups* y yeah
Vesemir: she called you it twice
Geralt: OH MY GODS SHE CALLED ME DAD TWICE IM THE HAPPIEST FATHER ALIVE
Vesemir: Bud, that's like the bare minimum to fatherhood-
Geralt: ITS NOT FOR PEOPLE LIKE US. I HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW. THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

The posts complaining about public noise - loud phone conversations, teens watching tiktoks on the bus, joggers blasting music - are, to me, very reminiscent of the anti-electric-scooter wave of a few years ago.
The point of similarity is that people are identifying a symptom of the problem rather than the root of the problem, then attacking the individuals who carry that symptom into the complainer's observance.
Yes, I get it, the discarded scooter takes up sidewalk space, and the ridden scooter moves faster than a walker yet slower than a bicyclist. The skateboarder, slow walker, lost tourist, roller blader, dog walker, power chair user, rollator user, and running child also complicate the pace of flow on facilities designed for non-motorized traffic. But look at the facilities! Even on a section designed to modern standards, you've got a 5-foot-wide sidewalk, 3 feet for trees and utility poles, 8 feet for parallel parked cars, 3 feet of bike lane, and 2 feet of bike lane buffer. Each lane of active traffic will be at least 10 feet wide, possibly as much as 14 feet! But instead of decrying the pittance of a 5 foot wide passable strip of concrete, with maybe one bike rack per block, we complain about the scooters (and the lost tourists, the running children, the slow walkers, etc). Because those movements contrary to "normal" flow appear on the individual scale, within arm's reach and camera view, unlike the dedication of wide space to vehicular traffic.
So, then, the nuisance noises. The crying babies, the tiktok viewers, the music players, the loud conversation holders, the barking dogs, the max-volume ringtones, the odd stranger laughing and exclaiming to themself. These sounds are unpredictable, grating, loud, frustrating... Each is frequently the straw that breaks the camel's back, when it comes to auditory overwhelm among even "normal" people. But a camel's back does not break from just a few straws. Why do we see such fewer complaints about the droning road noise, the blaring sirens and loudspeakers, the whine of generators and air conditioners, the intermittent hum of airplane and helicopter, the businesses pumping ads into their patio music, the rattling of poorly maintained train tracks? And, of course, there's the hard grey infrastructure - glass, steel, concrete, asphalt - that causes the inescapable buzz to reverberate and proliferate down every street and up to the top floor of every building. These noises form a backdrop, a system which each resident must navigate. The baby must cry louder than the train; the tiktok must play louder than the sirens; the phone must ring louder than the car horns. But we complain on the individual scale, critique the apparent single people ruining our days, because they are the ones within arm's reach and camera view. It is more comprehensible, more approachable, to demand the individual contain themself than the whole built space quiet itself.
Without an organized response to the constructed ways our senses and movements are limited, we are forced to turn on each other. We must learn to see apparently bothersome neighbors as fellows who are wronged by what also wrongs us. We must work together to rebuild our living spaces centered on individual and community pleasure, without regard for economic convenience.
