I bet If Chris never discovered that particular show, none of that would've happened (unless he glomped onto someother big boobed anime series).Chris' 4th wall non-sequitur stuff is very much lifted wholesale from Family Guy and to a lesser extent Excel Saga if it's an anime reference. The whole Punchy backstory thing makes me cringe every time I read it because the jokes are straight up copy pasted from Excel Saga.
It's sad to see what media can do to someone as vulnerable as Chris here.I would say media as a whole ruined Chris. The 90s cartoons are probably the worst in that regard since half of them were trying to be clever and meta-jokey and the other half was mindless garbage meant to sell toys with tacked on morals at the end to pretend to be educational. And Chris absorbed both without any kind of discretion.
Certainly a cautionary tale for any parent to keep in mind at all times when it comes to what their kids DO see on TV.It think Borb are more to blame, they are the ones that let Chris spend so much time watching TV without any meaningful human interaction, getting fatter as the years went by. Add his olympic-grade autism to the mix and this is the result.
