I doubt Cole would come back into Barb's life for a book deal. If he wanted to, Cole could've made money off of Chris way before the incest. He knew Chris was more famous than he is, but didn't capitalize I assume because that would mean reconciling with his mother, which Cole is clearly against.
It’s gonna be a while before anyone makes a show which portrays trans people (or those who claim to be trans) in such a bad light.
Nice, this is some really useful info. I've never heard of the maladaptive daydreaming concept before but that does make sense. I can certainly see it with Randy. Chris just was harder for me to figure out since unlike Randy, Chris pretty much never has any (public) moments of lucidity with regards to his fantasy. I suppose though that he comes off the way he does because he lacks any social inhibitions that would stop him from espousing his fantasy copes 24/7. That is to say, Randy had the social awareness not to go around telling everyone he met on the street about his EGS fantasy world, but Chris's autism and lack of boundaries ever being imposed on him must allow him to be much more open with it, and thus seem more "crazy" to the observer. Randy's writings were as nuts as Chris's but in his video recordings, unlike Chris, you can sort of infer from the way he talks that he has some consciousness that he is coping.
The latest epistle of CWC reads:
One thing is maladaptive daydreaming has triggers (Stress, loneliness, listening to music, etc) and has clear signs like pacing back and forward, talking or laughing to themselves which is what basically was described by the early sightings of Chris by Anna McLerran in her blog post The Tale of The Crazy Pacer.
I feel like the very concept of a Chris themed documentary is too hard a subject and non accessible to really work as a series. Documentaries on internet phenomenon really need to be about something huge I.e memes m, Pepe, trolls, rise of the Internet to really get any kind of mainstream attention because the modern internet is still such a young culture even now. Having a documentary on all already unsympathetic , obscure and often very unsettling subject matter like CwC would probably sell very poorly.
I agree with you. Perhaps Chris could be a short segment in a larger doc. I could see that happening.
The Love Quest era would be the most marketable in my opinion since it’s so comedic and absurd but after raping his mom it stops being a fun story and identifying as trans means they wouldn’t want to make fun of him anymore.
That freakish pen grip he uses isn't helping him either.
I don't think there's any qualities that make Chris look loveable. Maybe his child like actions, primarily Chris playing in his room and drawing (non religious art).
There have been some phone calls, check the CWCki. I think he ran out of envelopes.
Maybe more endearing than loveable with his earnest but utterly naive and doomed to fail dating plans, subsequent songs about it and that kind of thing but I guess you’re right since it’s all mired in racism, homophobia and other things mainstream shows wouldn’t touch even ignoring him raping his mother.
Chris is stubborn. He got the concept of writing, refusing to listen further to guidance, and evolved a freak hand when writing.
I sincerely stopped seeing any charm in Chris after he ran over a guy, I think we all sorta knew this guy was beyond mental, but I think that cemented in my brain that Chris was just not a good person. Shit I still remember how mad he got after Null sent him a care package and acted as if he deserved it, then yelled at Null. Honestly I feel like that care package only increased his sense of entitlement more than it had ever been. Was it a nice gesture? Of course, but I think the old saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" applies here. Because after that he would ebeg, well no, eDEMAND shit left and right. If this was pre tomgirl era Chris then I could see the charm, hell even after the Tomgirl era he had something there, but once that housefire and Snyder accident happened, it was all over.
