i didn’t record any voicemails this past week and I don’t plan to unless ben rebrands. He’s been in a slump of leftiness for a bit but I don’t hate him for it. I really do think he’s pretty based. His lecture is better for getting friends and coworkers into chris-chan than trying to show them the cwcki, or anything else. I completely understand shitting on him but he’s obviously our guy despite his own claims.
My son was born right before covid hit. And let me tell you now, if you’ve followed internet autists as long as we all have, and you have a kid; you are going to constantly be looking up things they do to see if they are autistic. Did you know walking on your toes past 18 months is a sign? I do now. I’m paranoid af. Every father wants his son to be slaying puss 24/7 but even if not, we can still play vidya together, right? So I was like, I’m okay in case he’s autistic, I’m just going to make sure he’s a ulillillia rather than a chris chan. Functional, Non-invasive. Content. Productive.
But seeing digi switch from a self-aware semi-autist (like us all), into a full-blown lolcow is pretty sad and opened my eyes. I mean I never really liked him, I always thought he was a degenerate and pretentious. But he had the “we’ll support you no matter what” parents. The “we’ll love you no matter what” kind. To be honest, I can’t imagine doing anything but supporting and loving my son. I mean, I was never a christian or in the military, who am I to tell him what to do? What is he going to do? Embarass me in front of all the acquaintances I don’t have? I don’t care what other people think. I sympathize with digi’s parents. Their son was providing a living for himself and his fiancée through means I have no hopes of understanding. And suddenly it all comes crashing down, and their son becomes a woman, which you have to support, because you’ve gone this far, and they are way past the age that you still have a say in? That shit sounds . You just have to watch the trainwreck, I guess. To be granted any kind of legal custody at this point they basically have to be 1013’d into the hospital and name you. It’s scary thinking that your own son’s life could be so far out of your own hands and into the hands of these “friends” he’s made in the last couple months and that you have never met.
Like, it’s to be expected as a teenager, they act out and get reprimanded because you are the authority, but now it seems for some people, that period never really ends. I guess at least chris lives at home so him and barb can take care of each other until one of them passes. Digi’s parents will always worry about where that fucker is if he gets that RV.
Their son is going to be their son till the day they die and they are never going to stop worrying about him. As a father it seems there is a dialectic between being a hardass, which I feel there is no basis for, personally (non-military, non-christian), and being a complete pushover who is supportive to the bitter end.
