I knew about Barb not letting him go to MAGfest and I think that may have helped play a part in the infamous quiet spell that happened between the Snyder incident in 2011 and the fire in 2014, but I'm curious about why he didn't go to cons more often in the later 2000's?
Like, he went to Anime Mid-Atlantic in like 2004 or 2005, right? I'm curious why he never tried to go in 2006 or 2007. Given how much he loved cons later on, you'd think he'd be the kind of sperg who'd look to the con every year like most kids look forward to Christmas.
I was always under the impression that Barb and Bob just let Chris do whatever back then and it wasn't until after the trolling began that they started to get more strict about Chris leaving the house, especially after the Ohio trip.
I could be wrong on that though.
