"The talk"

LOL, well yes, but again, can Chris ever be brought to a point where he functions close to normal in situations such as these?
The fainting comparison was to highlight that it's a lower level response. Like a panic attack. You don't really have conscious control over something like that.

It's like getting kicked in the dick and throwing up. You could practice suppressing your gag reflex a lot, but it's probably easier to just learn to avoid getting kicked in the dick.

(Obviously a gag reflex is a nervous response. It doesn't even hit your brain. But you get what I mean. Turtling and panic attacks are more primitive responses, ones that are harder to physically control than, say, Chris getting angry and getting into a shouting match with the guy.)
No, it was being kicked out and being too stupid to act like an adult and deal with it.
I think there's a good chance he was having a panic attack or something like that related to autism.
The tie-in with my thoughts is that while the talkers have great intentions and hopefully can help him somewhat, can they have a more profound impact to help him more in life, especially since in the not too distant future he will be alone?
I think just ordinary consequences work just fine.
Why isn't Null a wiiiiiiiiieeeeeeen?
I don't think you understand what a ween is.

A wëen is a lame, unsuccessful troll. They have to be both.

So they have to be someone who wants to troll Chris (but fails) AND their ideas suck. Counter examples:
  • Bluespike was not a wëen. Many people believe his ideas suck, but ultimately he was still successful at trolling Chris.
  • Someone with a really funny idea who tries to troll Chris, but for some reason or another, he doesn't bite. They might've fucked up, but as long as their idea was sound, they're not a ween.
Null is neither trying to troll Chris, nor is he fucking up at it.
 
Well that was an incredible diatribe of what the fuckery and autism to catch up on.

@Null, you're doing God, Jesus and the Bear's work.

So without wanting to power level too much I used to work with kids with learning disabilities. Primarily one kid, who was so autistic that he had his head in the clouds pretty much 70% of the time.

Judging by that interview I'm willing to put a sizeable portion of my next tugboat's worth of NEETbux that Chris is under a shit ton of stress through Barb, the current finance situation he's going through and now all of the fallout from TMG. Chris is starting to retreat into that "world" more and more because of the external stimuli that are pushing down on him.

I can only imagine that this was brought on by the idea of CWCville, which Chris has already stated numerous times that he goes to visit once a day at least. Autism lends itself a little here as Chris has used this as coping mechanism for when he has felt threatened, you only have to look at the comics to see that. He's used it to retreat into his own world and tell the version of the story that he feels should have happened.

A second factor to this without a doubt is ideaguy. That Jizzstain has done a serious amount of harm by enabling and ultimately (and for want of a better word) programming Chris to think whatever he wanted him to think.

Now we're stuck with a Chris who is under the fairly immense pressure of losing a parent who will do nothing more than retreat back in the land of make believe. With everything that happened at TMG i'm not surprised that he went full meltdown blockout mode.

Sorry, hedgehog defence mode (fuck me if thats not meme gold).

That is, and I speak from experience, a really autistic thing to do. The sensory overload would have had him bouncing off the walls and forgetting any social etiquette that he does know, so he would have been on a hug and kiss rampage. I suppose the whole thing with "hugs and happy times" vibe that you get with every con didn't help, he would have likely been confused by that whole thing as it would be acceptable for some but not others to do that (but that's neither here nor there really). Manajerks were telling him to fuck off. There's the social stigma attached to being told to fuck off. He clammed up (at least he didn't pepper spray anyone).

This does raise a point for me however, the kid I mentioned early had a fixation with touching girl's hair. To the point where if he kept doing it and got older he would probably get hit by someone, or at the very least charged. As a result, we kept sanctioning him until he realised that doing that was not okay. Chris just got burned, and hard by the TMG staff, who acted 100% appropriately IMO. This would to any reasonable person (autistic or not) send a fairly powerful message that this is not alright.

Now we have the issue of Chris and make believe everything that happened is forcing him further into that point because of everything else that is bearing down. I do feel that he needs some real help with this and hopefully soon. Rocky definitely didn't help, the crux of most of what she said would have been "turn to the lord." What Chris needs is a behavioural therapist or psych/social worker with a good knowledge of adult autism.

Without it, we could go from funny weird Chris to full on Howard Hughes Chris.
 
He's not a I HAVE AUTISM PLEASE LAUGH AT ME but he should really stop interesting with Chris. She's like a zoo animal. Not to be interacted with. Just looked at.

Just let things go through their natural course.
Null is blocking people from interacting with Chris.
 
Saying Null should have done more at this point is asinine given more would entail doing for Chris what his parents should have done decades ago, and that is neither Null's responsibility, nor should it be.

Sure, but we are already way past that point. Even before Chris assumed Hedgehog Defense Mode, Null has already been doing things that shouldn't be his responsibility for Chris.

I don’t think that was an autistic meltdown. I’m more inclined to believe it was Chris throwing a very quiet and subdued tantrum of sorts. I’ve never seen an autistic meltdown that wasn’t accompanied by very obvious signs of agitation. When an autistic person decides to dig their heels in they will usually be rocking, pacing or fidgeting, and if they completely meltdown they’re totally unmanageable, getting them into a ball on the floor is usually the desired outcome for everyone around them at the time.

Chris has always had a knack for being overly theatric when it comes to displays of emotion and it’s become much worse and much more noticeable recently. If you watch any video he’s made in the past 6 months it’s filled with feigned over-the-top displays of emotion that come across so cartoonish they’re difficult to even interpret.

Maybe somewhere in his pea brain he thought a big dramatic display would cause a scene and illicit some pity, enough to overturn the decision to throw his fat ass out. I mean shit, for all we know he was communing with Magi-chan or trying to teleport away because that’s the level of delusion with Chris that we’re dealing with right now.

I’m very weary of giving him a free autism pass on his morph ball acquired posture. As soon as I saw his rolled in a ball the first thing I thought of was a parent dragging their dead weight kid by the arm through a shopping mall who is midway through a tantrum.
 
I'll make it easy to understand.

1. It's not something he considers funny.
2. Those assholes tend to shit up and embarrass his site, why would he desire to emulate them?
3. Chris is mentally fragile man and tends to do foolish things entirely on his own, trying to force it generally comes off as cruel, edgy, unfunny, and tryhardish, and Null has no interest in being any of those things and has instead chosen to DEFEND Chris, insofar as he is able, from those individuals.
4. He has a conscience.

So TL: dr, he's not a wccn, he's a white knight.
 
Sure, but we are already way past that point. Even before Chris assumed Hedgehog Defense Mode, Null has already been doing things that shouldn't be his responsibility for Chris.

If you mean he's intercepting the bullshit of unfunny faggots like Idea Guy before they can do meaningful damage, then that's fine by me.

So TL: dr, he's not a wccn, he's a white knight.

Is he excusing Chris' bullshit?: In that sense, no.

If you are referring to acting as a filter on trolls and other dipshits, then in that sense, you could arguably say that, though given Null's motivations are partly out of self-interest (those cocksuckers shit this place up with their faggotry by extension), then it's more accurate to say Null and Chris have something they can both gain from this and are thus cooperating as a result.
 
I'm really amazed at how many people genuinely feel animosity towards anyone helping Chris. What in the world inspires such feelings? Chris is almost completely harmless.

People take anything the least bit critical, or even questioning, of Null's actions, as "I hope Chris dies in a fire and Null is literally Hitler". Unbridled praise and outright hatred aren't the only two options, and not every comment is deadly serious. And disagreeing with Null is not the same as wishing harm upon Chris.

Every time anyone interacts with Chris nowadays they will, 100% certain, get called "wccn", especially if they post here about it. But this one time suddenly it's a great shock and a terrible injustice?

That's not a description of white knighting?
No. White knighting is sticking up for Chris when it's not justified.

If Chris got into a fight with another autist and Chris threw the first punch, it would be white knighting to defend him there.

If someone steals money from Chris, it wouldn't be white knighting to wreck that someone.

I see it more as people who really haven't been paying attention.

There's a reason why the word is wordfiltered. People don't know what it means.

Chris trolling has been garbage for a long, long time.

It's kind of one of those coal fires that burn underground for years.

Everyone knew that disco and the whole Chris scene was retarded for a long time, but we never really knew how bad it was until Idea Guy popped up, and then Idea Guy 2.0 was stealing money from Chris. Idea Guy sorta forced our hand.

It wasn't sudden to anyone but the disco forum.
 
This reads exactly like the muttered ramblings of a homeless man who sits in the back corner of a local comic book store.

God bless his little heart, Chris is trying to sound dignified and optimistic, but its clear he's mentally fragile from what happened. I have absolutely no idea what his commodore waifu spiel is about, but godspeed.
