Oh, fuck off with that. Chris is mildly autistic, not retarded to the point of being almost animal. He can tell right from wrong, he just doesn't want to. That's why we are different from animals - even when our instincts scream "DO IT" we still can make a choice. Chris made his choice.
Rant time:
Whilst accused of raping his mother, Chris drew a cartoon depiction of a character with the logo for his birthsign "soul-bonding" (aka fucking and raping) a character labeled with the birthsign of his mother.
I gotta be honest: Chris is pretty fucking retarded, and I sometimes wonder if people like downplaying the extent to which he is just so they can sleep better at night.
The reality...?
We're assholes who get jollies out of laughing at the misadventures of a woefully stupid and immoral autistic manchild who was never taught right from wrong, never had his delusions of grandeur deflated, and was never humbled to the point he had some grasp of how retarded he actually is. Oh, and his parents decided TV would be a fantastic nanny, so he thinks he's an electric hedgehog with boobs. Anyone who can't accept they're an asshole to some degree for being entertained by Chris just simply isn't being honest with themselves.
Is Chris lacking in a moral code? Yes. FFS he fucked his mom, this isn't even a discussion.
However, do we really believe that if we took some non-autistic individual who did the same exact thing as Chris that Chris would be "just as bad" as that guy? Hell no. Chris being autistic absolutely plays a role in how harshly he would be judged, and it should. Plenty of normal people struggle with getting their shit together and recognizing how fucked up they are as people, and I absolutely think Chris' autism makes it just that much more difficult for him to overcome those problems. I mean, not saying autistic people are assholes or anything like that, but autism is not exactly associated with high levels of empathy. FFS Aspergers is often referred to as "a license to be an asshole," and I remember hearing one Aspergers patient saying it took him years to realize other people had emotions just like him. Given that, I am by no means surprised that someone on the spectrum like Chris has a friggin' God Complex, and no shit it'll grow to be ridiculous if he grows up watching cartoons and harem anime with next to zero parental guidance.
Yes, it is difficult for us to claim Chris would be like this without the autism. His brother Cole for example is also a tremendous douche as a result of sharing the same parents....but Cole doesn't run people over or assault store clerks with pepper spray, and Cole can also recognize his mom is a disgusting human being so that he doesn't get a boner while thinking about her. Chris
does, and autism absolutely plays a role in that. To me, Cole is evidence that a non-autistic Chris would still be a douche, but it's the autism that truly makes Chris exceptional. If it weren't, we'd all be following Cole just as much as we follow Chris.
I think where people are
right to judge Chris harshly is that while we can all sit here and ponder over how Chris' autism makes him ill-equipped to self-reflect and recognize his flaws or improve as a person without heavy outside influence, or how it is all tragic in a way, sitting and feeling sorry for Chris will not change that yes, today Chris is a rather dangerous and damaging individual for society. In the same way bully victims cannot keep playing the "I was bullied" card for any potential issues beyond age 30, Chris likewise can and will be expected to be better at his age, even if it's understandably harder for him. He's assaulted people. He's taken part in a hit-and-run. He raped his own damned mother. Whether he's autistic or not, this doesn't change that we absolutely need to recognize the damage he can do and treat him appropriately.
Chris being in jail, frankly, is possibly the best thing to happen both for him and for Ruckersville, Virginia. He is absolutely a danger and a burden for that community (and not a burden that we should bare in the interest of being humane, such as if someone's paralyzed from the neck down and needs support; Chris is a burden in that he's capable of more and yet doesn't provide, and he does have SOME degree of responsibility not to be a mess of a human being, which he's failing horrendously at), and putting him in jail both protects the locals from his random fits of tard rage, whilst simultaneously putting him in a place that provides some degree of guidance, telling him when something's okay and when it isn't. Chris NEEDS someone to tell him right from wrong, because his parents sure as hell didn't and the "Sonic Sez" lessons he grew up on clearly didn't teach him enough.
But saying he's "only mildly autistic...?" Yeah, he fucking wishes. Sounds like he was told that once by a McDonald's Happy Meal IQ Test and he's just being running with that his whole life since it was the only test to ever claim he isn't completely autistic. The man fucked his mom and has produced about two-dozen pieces of evidence he did it, all of which he "encoded" through "clever" systems where he would do something like draw a character name "Sirhc" fucking a character named "Arabrab." That. Is. Retarded. Chris is incredibly retarded no matter what people on this forum, his pitying doctors or Godbear say.
