What I think people mean, when getting away with it is him not really receiving sufficient punishment for his crimes as in having lasting phycological affects on him that will eventually lead him to becoming more self sufficient and really beat into his head that he can't parade around as much as he pleases and have the weight of his situation really hit him like a fucking train. Yes his financial and life situation is pretty dire but in the grand scheme of human suffering he really doesn't have it that bad.
In a sense that's correct...except for the part where in the bigger picture, the proverbial gavel hasn't even
dropped yet, so how can he be sufficiently punished when said punishment is still coming? Everything that's happened with Chris has purely been part of the process to even get him
able to stand trial, just to get back to
square one. Seriously, Chris effectively has lost literally everything he holds dear in a materialistic sense, been imprisoned away from society and moreover pop culture for multiple years, and he's
still on trial.
Chris is too stupid and mired in his own ego to ever fully comprehend how bad he is and how bad things are. Even if he was beaten and raped he would sniffle and chalk it up to suffering because he’s the main character and da trolls are jealous haters. Give up on hoping something will crack his ego and moronic brain. It won’t happen.
I'd also argue that Chris's escapism and messiah complex getting worse by the day is in a way a form of desperate denial. He's always held onto CWCville as existing in an alternate universe, the one where he's the popular kid everyone loves and he can do no wrong where the world bends over backwards to guarantee this (until it doesn't, ala his Catch-22 moment when Simonla had to die and he couldn't get away with immediately replacing her with the daughter, because he realized he still killed a character by his own hands and this violated his own in-universe logic).
And then he got into the Brony scene, with G4 MLP and Bronycon. He was accepted (really just tolerated)! He could be creepy and weird and it was just like the MHS days of yore! Until it all ended and G5 was on the horizon, once again reality coming down and taking from him
everything, including a Simonla 2.0 situation where his internal alt. universe logic was going to mean more characters dying that he couldn't do anything to prevent, simply because they faded out of the mainstream.
Now he's in jail by his own actions, cut off from everything (remember the fucker literally was worried about a few fucking toys in his hotel room at the first arraignment) and no light at the end of the tunnel anytime soon, if ever.
I think Chris understands on some level that the Autism card isn't getting him out of this one - if anything, it's gotten him in even MORE trouble - and he's just completely gone off the deep end to live in CWCville, his escapist safe spot, because there he's still loved by everyone. He literally is just too scared to face reality, because his life is just
that shit.
