History WMG / ChickTracts

[[WMG: The kid from Wounded Children isn't a [[DarkIsEvil Demon]] but a [[Literature/HisDarkMaterials da]][[UsefulNotes/{{UNIX}} em]][[Film/TheGoldenCompass on.]] ]]

**Both are racist,Frollo towards Gypsies ---->Chick towards Blacks, Native Americans, possibly more.

** Both are older,unattractive men,(sorry fangirls)
** Both think that piousness excuses [[AbusiveParents child abuse]](Frollo towards Quasimodo--->Chick has plenty of stories of child beaters,one with an unrepentant one in fact)

** Both have a particular set of favorite acceptable targets, (Frollo-->Gypsies Chick-->Catholics)

** Both have a particular set of favorite AcceptableTargets,(Frollo-->Gypsies Chick-->Catholics)

That explains the discrepancies in Chick's tracts. Unlike Chick who is raised in an Evangelical Protestant environment, Rivera is a Spanish ex-Catholic priest. Rivera is indeed a walking DanBrowned former Spanish "Inquisitor".

His whole shtick is basically a personification of what many a HollywoodAtheist believes of Christians in general; that Christians are all intolerant, bigoted, and consider anyone who commits the slightest wrong to be guaranteed an eternity in Hell. Extra bonus points for his views on [[TheNewRockAndRoll rock music]]. Call it PoesLaw, or call it a case of the VocalMinority, but he's contradicted himself so many times, and with as many times as he's quoted Literature/TheBible, it's hard to imagine he's either missed or wrongly understood any reference to Jesus calling out the Pharisees and being friendly with known sinners. Plus, there's [[CriticalResearchFailure much more that points to this theory...]]

He started out writing sincere, noncrazy comics. When he realized most of the people buying them were doing it just to laugh at him, he took it UpToEleven because he's making way more money and he gets a kick out of writing such crazy shit.

By taking certain controversial aspects of their beliefs, turning them UpToEleven and presenting them in a ludicrous way... then sitting back and watching as the real believers buy and try to use them. (Probably not, but would be hardly surprising.)

[[WMG: Many of the more [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop unpleasant Aesops]] are not [[AccidentalAesop accidental]].]]

Both occur in an UrbanFantasy CrapsackWorld with [[TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem vampires]], [[TabletopGame/WerewolfTheForsaken anthromorphic wolf-shapeshifters]], [[TabletopGame/DemonTheDescent demons]] and [[TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening witches]]. Lil' Susie's unseen uncle and Bob Williams are members of [[TabletopGame/HunterTheVigil The Long Night or the Knights Of St.George]] (the latter of which would explain their anti-magic powers). The demons are actually spirits and the people who get exorcised are members of [[TabletopGame/HunterTheVigil Les Mysteres]].

* Elaborating on this, the {{Skinwalker}} from ''Crazy Wolf'' was actually a Hunter In Darkness and the vampires from ''First Bite'' were actually Nosferatu (they were {{Gonk}} vampires living in an isolated location).

Think about it. Both are set in worlds where [[Main/AllMythsAreTrue monsters roam the night]], [[Main/ReligionOfEvil sinister cults lurk behind every door]] and the world is ruled by [[Main/EldritchAbomination inhuman, incomprehensible entities who do not seem to care about humanity.]]. Going by this theory, Satan is [[Main/SatanicArchetype Nyarlathotep]] as both embody Main/EvilIsPetty. God is Nodens, and his angels are actually Nightgaunts. The reason the tracts are Main/SoBadItsGood? Because they`re bastardizations of the truth, to avoid leaving a Main/BrownNote. For bonus points, John Todd (the source for his claims about Halloween and rock music) believes that [[Main/TomeOfEldritchLore the Necronomicon]] is real, Bill Schnoebelen (the source for his claims about Freemasonry and TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons thinks ''Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth'' is a true story, and both believe that ''Literature/TheDunwichHorror'' accurately portrays occultism.
* This would mean that Chick tracts occur in the same universe as Literature/ConanTheBarbarian.

Taking cues from the [[WMG/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses "Everyone's life actually sucked without the Critic"]] theory, I offer these little tidbits to the table.

* Who better to do a StealthParody than the ''MyImmortal'' girl(?) herself? Both of them misrepresent Roman Catholics and Protestants, so why not?

[[WMG: Jack Chick is really Jack Thompson. Jack Thomas is really [[Film/{{Batman}} Jack Napier]]]]

* In "The Little Bride", Li'l Susy knows that Grandpa's anti-Muslim preaching is a bunch of bull, but she's jealous of Amir because the girls are mooning over ''him ''("He's really '''cute''', Susy!"), so she spouts it to get revenge.

[[WMG: Jack Chick is either Terry Pratchett or a massive fan.]]

[[WMG: Jack Chick is an alter-ego of [[AmericanDad Roger the Alien]]]]
This has been one of Roger's longest running ways of making some extra money. It's not hard to believe these tracts were written by a strange sociopath who is actually an alien. Roger thought it would be entertaining to make a fool out of Fundamentalist Christians with secretly-satirical tracts some of them would actually believe. It's also very amusing trolling to him. The fact that the tracts just got more and more over the top over the years is because he had to make them crazier and crazier to still find this job amusing for so many years. Plus, it's an alter-ego he could easily maintain for decades, without even having to go out and get dressed up. He only created one fake photo of someone who is supposedly Jack Chick to make it less suspicious. He might not even have a costume for this persona. He writes these tracts in his free time when he doesn't feel like playing one of his physical personas. Additionally, he eventually killed off Jack Chick, because he wasn't ready to stop producing these, but knew it would be hard to believe if Jack Chick lived abnormally long. Whoever is supposedly the replacement author of the new tracts is still Roger, or a front for him still writing them.
