Well, I'm talking about fat, older male relative-in-laws insisting on big sloppy old man kisses because they're like Greek or Italian or some shit. It's very off putting to me. But you just endure it because they're in one of the "social slots" where that works, or everyone just ignores it because they're (sometimes literally) grandfathered in.
But yeah, there's a social side to this, given the context, that Chris isn't in one of the social slots where friendly kisses like that (and it's definitely not 100% friendly with Chris, but I'd argue that it's like 95% friendly) are acceptable.
He's white. He's American. He's weird. He's nerdy. On a bad day, he's not well groomed. Even when he is groomed, he doesn't look great.
I'm not a fan of shaming people, but people should still learn how they come off to people. Chris needs to learn that.
Now, I'm curious if someone tattled on Chris specifically because they were weening. Like if this was planned ahead of time. Chris should still learn a lesson from this, because this is bad behavior regardless of the motivations of the people tattling.
But I do question their motivations, especially if this was CJ.
