Why do people consider this forum to be particularly cancerous? I don't really browse the rest. Checked out a Boogie thread and it seemed like more of the same in tone.
I believe it's the general attitude and atmosphere in here.
You can see it in the way people are getting extremely possessive of Chris and extraordinarily invested in his fate, going on rants and attempting to dox anybody who enters within 10 meters of him instead of being smart about it and letting things play out a little, maybe even trying to get info out of it.
Also, you see these people treating things like the GameStop macing or the Snyder feud like it happened a few hours ago, and still speaking about it with extreme frothing-in-the-mouth outrage. You got people who are absolutely convinced that anyone who talks to Chris is either a troll, a whiteknight or a ween, and cannot think outside those perimeters at all. It's like the Cult of CWCki, if you catch my drift.
All that and probably more is what makes forum regulars not go in here anymore. That, and the general boringness of Chris as a cow nowadays, believe me, there are far, far funnier cows than Chris on this site, see the recommendations thread on lolcow general (or do the smart thing and head straight to the Tommy Tooter or Becca Haernandez threads).
I am unfamiliar with the Boogie thread, so I can't comment on that.
Not every post has an agenda. Try not forcing yourself to see something out of nothing.
Very hard not to do that when people cannot detach themselves from the tropes of Christory to see what's actually going on, an autist actually tried to scam Chris for money, almost entirely fucking him up. If shit like this is allowed to fly, even through passive inaction, then you will see autists trying to scam Chris, it's just a trend.
I get the feeling that a lot of people here are very married to a specific sequence of events that they want Chris to go through, some people want to see him get dragged to an asylum or a group home, some really want to see the homeless saga happen for whatever reason..etc. And it's all getting wrapped up underneath this facade of wanting Chris to "learn" and "face consequences".
The way I see it, many CWC forum regulars essentially want to A-Log him without getting branded as an A-Log.
If this mischaracterizes you, then I apologize to you, but if it does characterize you, then you should seriously add other cows to your watchlist and stop attaching so much importance to Chris's fate.
This brings up the natural question of how I see things.. The way I see it, we're on the autism train, and it takes us where it takes us, but some autist started a fire in the train and now we either fight the fire or see the train come to a stop. I firmly believe that happy Chris makes for better content, and we're seeing this already with Hedgehog-defensoce stance and other things too.
