Has Chris mentioned if he's doing the cooking around the house now that Barb is basically zombified or does he just let her have some of his McDonald's from time to time? Seeing that Barb has gone from a snorlax to disturbingly gaunt in her old age I imagine she isn't controlling her food intake any more.
She got sick awhile back and lost a bunch of weight during her sickness. She just hasn't regained it.
What is going on here? (Still in the dark as he isn't accepting my follow request)
Oh? Where'd you add him? What's your username?
It also doesn't help that the vast majority of shows/games/etc. he likes are made for children, so they aren't going to have ideas or characters that necessarily go against the "status quo" of gender roles. It feels like his views on things like gender/ etc. have never been challenged, and when they have, he tries to circumvent the opposing views.
tl;dr Chris has archaic views on gender roles because he grew up with things that kinda enforced stereotypes.
No, I wouldn't say that. Chris started off with the nick at nite type shit, but he also got a heavy dose of 90's grrll power crap. See all the examples of how strong and badass the rosechu characters are, like when Rosechu faceraped the one guy, how simonla was a construction worker or some shit and how Allison Amber is the mayor of cwcville.
I think Chris worships both stereotypes of women: both the housewife and the grrlll power, independent woman who don't need no man.
And those stereotypes intersect in a place where Chris benefits from both of them in some way. (Whether it's by the housewife babying him and taking care of the kids, and the more independent stereotype fighting for him and being the breadwinner.)
Actually, now that I think about it, a big inspiration for this was that Barb was actually somewhat a career woman for a period of time. People forget that before she was the snorlax (and then later a ghoul), she worked as a secretary for Virginia Power until Chris was 14. She still receives her pension from her time there.

It's a minor blip in all the other ways that fucked Chris up, but maybe it contributed a bit in why Chris is so stunted. Chris grew up with a working mother who then retired to stay home and baby him all day. Whereas with many other kids, maybe a parent might stay home until you're old enough to take care of yourself, then they go back to work. Then you're a latchkey kid.
Even when someone does have a full time mother, they certainly don't cuddle with their retarded kids well into adulthood, with no plan to wean them from the (hopefully metaphorical) maternal teat.
Barb is Chris' model for the ideal woman: both babying him as the housewife
and hustling to pay his bills.
