Honestly he wasn't even that bad before the internet hit him like a truck. I've known a lot of people under similar condition, though they lived in special capacity with assistance, unlike Chris' parents who kept trying to force him into normal conditions even though people were always gonna shit on him regardless of context. But they tend to always view things in ways that I might consider a bit outlandish or inefficient, the same way they might view what my thought process is as equally inefficient. It's just difficult to come to an understanding when your minds are geared in such different ways

But yeah I feel like despite his condition, he was doing alright til he started getting cyberbullied. Of course everything he did afterwards started to be his fault, but I can't imagine he'd be the same way entirely if nothing started the snowball

I used to read random articles on ED and always saw CWC get mentions, and out if curiosity clicked.

The rabbit hole never ended.

And now that the story has finally ended(I hope), I can say it was a wild fucking ride.

How did Chris Chan come to be? He's the Sonichu person, right? And I think I remember there being an incident involving Gamestop.

Just one last chapter. The trial. Then most people in the world will probably never hear from Chris again. I'm assuming they will spend the rest of their life in a mental health facility

Yes. Sonichu is I think a character Chris invented. Some original creation from Sonic the Hedgehog think. Chris thinks there is another universe where a bunch of fictional characters including everyone from Sonic, and Sonichu, all live. There is something about a "dimensional merge" where that world is supposed to combine with ours. Then Chris would meet Sonichu.

That's the surface level introduction to Chris

What disturbs the most about Chris Chan is that I could have fallen into a similar trap as they did in terms of getting trolled due to gullibility. Thankfully I got the help I needed and while I'll never be neurotypical I learned some skills to help prevent me from ending up anything like Chris.

To really tl;dr it:

  • Autistic boy posts his Sonic comic online
  • Something awful forums find it and mock him for it
  • They play pranks on him by pretending to be girls who are interested in him
  • They get him to do weirder and weirder shit, he complies thinking there's gold at the end of it all
  • This goes on for years
It really is a rabbit hole and it just gets more and more depraved the further you go down. At first you feel sorry for him but you start to lose sympathy pretty quick.

The thing that makes it hard to feel sorry for Chris is his total unwillingness to disengage from his delusions and how he repeatedly embraces people who enable those delusions. You just can't help him, because he doesn't want to be helped, he wants to live his fantasy world.

That's the surface level introduction to Chris

Chris has been claiming that he traverses this dimension and that dimension for a long while now. Hell, he was claiming that he had swapped bodies with Sonichu for almost a year.

The dimensional merge is when our dimension is supposed to merge with the other dimension, where all fictional characters and OCs exist, and most people on this planet will die (mostly people Chris doesn't like) and everyone who survives will live in a world with Iron Man, Sonichu, Mario, Rick and Morty, and every other pop culture fictional character.

Since going to jail, he's written several letters about how he has realized he is actually Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

I saw the Down the Rabbit Hole video.

I'll be frank - as weird and fucked up as Chris-chan has been over the years, I think the years of online focus has done a significant amount of harm to her. A lot of her later behavior was spirred on by people lying to her and trolling her. She was targeted as a lolcow, and it's ruined her life.

Even the shit about Chris-chan fucking her own dementia-addled mother was spurred on by another person. It's undoubtedly a horrific crime, and for right or wrong something needs to happen to her over this, but this wasn't Chris-chan going "wow I can fuck my own mother whose brain is degrading", it was spurred on by an online troll like so much of her weird and fucked up online shit.

Let's face it, without such a significant focus on her over the years, Chris-chan wouldn't have been this fucked up. While I find it hard to sympathize with her actions, I feel bad for the life she's led. Chris-chan, above all else, is a cautionary tale about what the internet will do to destroy you.

A lot of Chris' behaviors can't be excused by online harassment. Chris has shown time and time again that they have no concern for behaving appropriately in public. Even when Chris is given a chance they ignore any and all warnings and suggestions on how to act. Chris was screwed the moment Bob and Barb gave up on ever trying to make them even try to behave in public or learn right from wrong.

Of course, but Chris-Chan is severely autistic. We talk about how we have high-functioning autistic people, your computer coders and encentric creatives, but there are low-functioning autistic people and I would argue that that's where Chris-Chan falls.

She was behaving shittily before, but she also came from a low-income family in a low-income environment, and she was first targeted after an internet user recounted their tales about encountering Chris-Chan in university. Yeah, her weird dating shit was allowed to air unaided, but A) that behavior wasn't really remedied by support that aimed to address what she was doing, and B) that hardcore shit was only exacerbated by the internet's propensity to troll people like her for a laugh.

The girlfriend-free girl stuff? The fucked up way she treated women who befriended him? Shit's fucked up of course. But Chris-chan never got the help or support she needed, and her condition was further exacerbated by the trolling she received over the course of 20 years.

So yeah, I think her behaviour has been fucked up, but I think her life has been ruined by all of this "christorian" shit. Circumstances and targeted harassment has brought her to where she is today, and while I would struggle to condone anything she's done for the past 15 years, it ultimately comes down to whether she might have gotten better due to both her circumstances and the attention internet infamy brought to her. At a bare minimum? I don't think she would have raped her own dementia-addled mother without an online troll encouraging her to do so.

Not bedbound. Her level of cognitive deterioration has been a question for a while. Some have suggested, Chris included, that Barbara plays up the dementia bit for the camera to get sympathy donations and is more lucid off camera.

The thing I remember most about Chris Chan before this current kerfuffle was that Chris drew pornographic images of his friend Megan and posted them online and when Megan found out and got upset, Chris wouldn't apologize because drawing the pictures (not sure how the posting them online comes into it) gave him an outlet that prevented him from doing "far worse".

He has said that she didn't want to and required convincing and he has said that she has initiated encounters.

I've been following "Christory" since the ED days. With the exception of BlueSpike (who was a zoomer), the older/Millennial trolls simply wanted to push Chris' buttons and have him throw tantrums in front of his webcam.

The recent trolls were making a conscious effort to destroy his mental health; some of them even plotting to convince him to commit suicide. They coerced him into injuring himself and his mother.
