Perhaps yours is a testable hypothesis; few know Chris better than you.
Manipulate him into getting a job.
We did. Or at least, in the past, we manipulated him into applying to a few jobs. They just didn't hire him because he's a terrible candidate.
We also got him to smash up his PS3 and drive to Ohio.
Some speds also manipulated him into sending them $6k.
I think this hypothesis is thoroughly proven.
I don't believe it's ethical to try and manipulate Chris into improving his life because the manipulation itself erodes his grip on reality, making him vulnerable to more manipulation later on. Chris is an insane, mental pile of mush specifically because for the past decade, 90% of the people he knew were imaginary.
But even if someone is OK with manipulation because the ends justify the means, the problem is that no matter how good of a grasp you have on Chris, someone will come along and manipulate him out of your hands. And instead of telling him that the merge will happen if he cleans himself up and gets a job, they'll tell him that they'll magic him to the land of chocolate rivers and gumdrop waterfalls if he makes a dumb video. You can never hold onto Chris' attention to help him because weens will steal his attention out from under you.
Anyway, most children are very intellegent when it comes to good touch vs bad touch, unless you're literally forcing yourself on them. You could tell Chris a million times over, "hey, this guy wants to put his dick inside you" or "he wants to touch your filthy, disgusting anus" and his response would be "are there Sonichus involved because if there are, I'll bend over".
That's retarded and you know it. Children get molested every day and it's not because they're dumb. It's because children, like Chris, are vulnerable.
Chris is a shithead, no doubt about that, but he's being exploited. Quit making excuses for it.
