So just because people bullied Chris, that invalidates any significance he has as a cult figure, outsider artist, YouTube personality, internet sensation and... unintentional comedian?
The dude was nuts but he created an entire body of work, an art style, and was so unique of a character that people tried to do impressions of him and often failed. From when he was a child to now he basically kept his singular, iconic traits that make him stand out among other people. People will be doing impressions of him for decades and he will remain a symbol. Its sad to think that Chris, in his own twisted mind spent his entire life on this little CWCville/Sonichu project, became famous around the entire world only for the weirdos of Wikipedia to say he's not notable enough.
How then could Chris become notable enough given the fact he is retarded, poor, and undisciplined? Chris was Chris and he did as much as he could as Chris. Given his shortcomings I don't think we could have expected much more from him and yet history will deny him a place, even as a footnote? He wasn't a good guy and I guess he really didn't have any values in the end, but its clear there will never be another ChrisChan. It will be like SETI search for alien life. The search will go on but the conditions that had to manifest together to create this character will never happen again.
The elephantman was bullied his entire life and I am sure there are plenty of other extreme examples. Yet those people get a page in history. Chris was, I suppose a modern freakshow but he chose to be a public figure and he financially benefitted from it. It is not like Chris wasn't complicit in communicating with all the people who supposedly wronged him. He did most of it to himself.
