Money Theory: Chris is playing his viewership

[just some jerk]

It's both. He tried to scam people out of money for the Hawaii trip, but he also really does believe this stupid shit.

Chris almost certainly doesn't have paranoid schizophrenia. He does not have visual or auditory hallucinations. He doesn't have the mental disturbances that schizos have. He can reliably interact with the real world without issue. Think Terry A Davis.

What Chris has is an imaginary friend, like a small child. Ordinarily, small children get told to grow up and stop playing around. Chris doesn't have that, so he can pretty say whatever the fuck he wants and no one cares.

He really wants Sonichu to be real. He says Sonichu is real. And since no one in a position of authority, with the ability to seriously challenge him, is arguing with him about it, he gets to stomp onward.

Sonichu is Chris' Santa Claus or Slash, but way better and totally cool, with a wife and a bunch of friends.


Chris learns just fine. It's just that groups of people smarter than him constantly work to foil his learning. Like how Chris' passwords became really secure the moment someone guessed the first "Sonichu" password. Or how the e-girlfriends after Bluespike required an IRL presence to get Chris to trust them.

Chris didn't have a fear of change. He desperately and constantly changed in response to stimulus. The trolls just changed faster and tried literally everything under the sun, until they got around Chris' new adaptation.

At some level, even for Chris, is iimagination fundamentally unsatisfying or frustrating? That's why we all gradually let imaginary friends fade away as we got older... Why we know fantasising about someone leads to bad and lonely places in our heads.

I'm not saying I think he has the internal monologue to realise this, but you would think by his "ability to slowly learn" as you often cite. That magi Chan can't speak to you ,and it must be tiring to maintain that facade with yourself.

I really wish this was the case, but it isn't. Chris most likely has paranoid schizophrenia, which has been compounded with the recent traumatic abuse he's been receiving from the idea guys. There's no whacky or zany way to negate the fact Chris is a very broken, sad, autistic, and neglected man. He needs to have constant supervision in a homing facility by trained professionals, not internet experts. Game over. Roll credits.

autists CAN'T develop schizophrenia and he's too fucking old for it.

That's why he's so public about his delusions on twitter. He wants people to play pretend with him. And unfortunately, there's always a few people who indulge him.

What? There's no diagnostic criteria that says that - Also schizophrenic onset is very common as adults enter middle age. It's the second most common period we start to see schizophrenia onset, other than teenage years.

There are healthy mediums like RPGs. Maybe Chris could try that.

I wish dipshit armchair psychologists would stop diagnosing Chris with mental disorders he doesnt have because he posts stupid crap on Twitter. Like seriously niggers imagine if someone read your Farms posts and decided that's all they need to know exactly what goes on in your head.

Definitely. I'm guessing that's behind the recent tweets about being exhausted after answering prayers in CWCville or whatever that was.

From what I remember of "Essentials of Understanding Abnormal Behavior 2nd Edition", late-onset schizophrenia is not common, with diagnosis typically between puberty to mid-twenties. To properly debate this, though, I think we'd all have to start citing our references, which would be... "untactful", considering this is a stranger and we're all just idiots on the internet :/

Yeah. It's fine to casually speculate, but going over someone's psychopathology should be handled more delicately. Even if someone here was qualified, I'm sure it's still unethical to "diagnose" a stranger on the internet.

 

[Subconcious Offense]

If he is faking it, then Marvin and Captain are definitely in on the ruse.

But he obviously isn't. None of this is worth being arrested, and people are already dumb enough to give him money without any effort of scamming on his part.

Chris is the smartest man I know. Even if I can tell with my many degrees that he has Alzheimers, Lycanthropy and Adenomysis.

His planning abilities and organizational skills are excellent. He has fooled us many times over the decades (think Amnyfest vs Sonichu Medallion) and I wouldn't be surprised if this was all a scam to collect our money. I myself had been tricked twice into donating $14.88.

Perhaps he uses it to fund Saddam in the Gulf War?

 

[WorldsSmartestManRonOTool]

Interesting thought, I watched a show a while back about Gypsy Blancharde and how her mom had her diagnosed with all these different illnesses and got all kinds of free stuff, houses, trips to Disney etc and she was never sick. People can go to great lengths to run scams on people. I know of a guy who lied about having cancer and got $30k off an internet forum.

In this case, I don't think Chris has the mental ability to pull of something like that. In the past conversations with various internet girlfriends etc, he was always so obvious when he was lying. It was like a little kid lying. I don't think he intellectually advanced too far from the "and I just won" kid.

Spoiler: "and I just won" 2.0

My diagnosis is that he's pretty much that same kid, in a 40 year old, fat tranny body. Like a 2018 autistic, gender confused version of "Big" with Tom Hanks.

Chris did 9/11

This is by far one of my favorite pictures of Chris. Everything about is just perfect. The Ralph Wiggum bowl cut. The idiotic clown shirt Barb picked out of some discount rack at Old Navy. And of course that dull autism face complete with thousand yard stare. It's like scientists constructed it in a lab to make the goofiest-looking kid possible.

Jesus, it's like what you'd get if you told a sketch artist "He's an autistic kid" and nothing else.

You know what's hilarious, this is my favorite Chris self portrait of him at the same age as the sonic sweepstakes:

And while Chris is usually a shit artist, I can't imagine somebody drawing a better representation of an austitic rétarded kid. Blue fucking ribbon right there.

Don't forget his pathological hyperovulation where he lays 2,5000 Sonichu eggs a day.

 

[Snuckening]

I don't think he's consciously, deliberately playing his audience. More that his audience have incentivised Chris to act rctarded.

When Chris acts (relatively) normal- tweets about "wow, last MLP ep was cool!!", he gets maybe 5 or 6 people telling him "get a job". But he tweets about "I'm a super kawaii CPU princess with IRL dimension-hopping cartoon hedgehog super-powers, just like Ted Bundy!! btw Imma visit Megan now kthxbye" and he gets 1200 people screaming/laughing/wccning st him, and maybe 5 or 10 dumbfucks giving him ass-pats and/or $$$ (more than when he's 'normal', anyway).

He doesn't need to be acting deliberately- his audience have used pavlovian conditioning to encourage him to get more and more lost in the rctardation. Like a dog whose owners ignore it, except the only time they pay it attention is when it shits on the rug- you're just training it to shit on the rug.

But like others have said, Chris is absolutely useless when he's consciously lying- his brain just can't do that shit.

Fucking hell. @Snuckening, I think you have most likely nailed it. That's downright insightful.

I dunno, he still keeps up the delusions even in (pseudo-)private communications with The Captain and Null, neither of whom are interested in that stuff. I think it's sincere on his part. Like, I don't think his textwalling The Captain at 4AM with details of his latest waifu is some sort of grifting scheme or conditioned response, he just honestly wants to tell the story.

OMG! Could Christian be an autistic Keyser Soze?!

 

[muh_moobs]

Sonichu is Chris' Santa Claus or Slash

Slash. Is. REAL!!!

 

[The American Hedgehog]

I think what's going on post-Idea Guy is Chris's psyche sorting through what the Idea Guys did to his mental hugbox. After the intervention that made him realize he had been tricked, he could either accept that CWCville was only in his head and therefore not real, or he could believe that the Idea Guys were only lying about some things and that would preserve his notion of CWCville being real. And he went with the latter.

A lot of stuff from Idea Guy notes keeps coming up - he's trying to take what they've done and put it in a way that strokes his own ego. An example is how Idea Guy used Neptunia's lore, like the CPUs, to convince Chris he was legit, and then Chris made himself into a CPU goddess.

And it's taxing on him to keep track of everything - after all, he was sitting there with a notepad, jotting down notes on all the shit they fed him, for half a year. He feels the need to make his changes consistent with Idea Guy lore. It's like how The Captain's Sonichu form is #70 - Chris picked up from the numbering of the joke retcon Idea Guy put in of there being 69 Sonichu species. Ironically, even after being rescued from them, he's driving himself crazier trying to build up his imaginary land using the same tools they did.

This is the kind of thing people need to work through with a therapist, but Chris is a fucking numbskull who intentionally omitted details of what the Idea Guys did to him to his therapist because it'd be too much of a bother.
