Interests 6/22 - Chris at Too Many Games convention - Day 2 - Chris has a meltdown, kicked out of con for boundary issues, kissing attendees

[trueandhonestfan]

but in reality Chris just sprayed him for no real reason and didn't understand the harm of the spray.

Chris said that he accidentally sprayed himself with pepper spray in the bathroom and it affected him. So he knew that it would hurt the GameStop employee.

Though I doubt Chris would pull out a bat and hit someone. Because that would be a pretty serious crime.

I've done my share of scolding Chris for touching people, but at the end of the day he's autistic and social etiquette is very difficult for him. Monkey see monkey do. People sling their arm around you for photos, some people are okay with the platonic cheek kisses, etc. Chris interprets that as death gripping people in photos and putting his face on your face. Does that mean he gets a pass? Of course not, but if you tell Chris "do not do X or Y will happen" he will listen, even if it's begrudgingly. But he needs to be constantly reminded because he just lacks general common sense.

I swear, only You, Marvin and Alec are the only not autistic people who interacted with him. Reeeee the autistic man tried to kiss me after I wanted a selfie with him reeeeeeee

I actually feel pretty bad for Chris on this one not gonna lie.

The only thing I find fishy about the whole "I was only warned over Facebook." thing is while yes that could work for someone as prolific as Chris. But no way in hell would that work for anyone else. I'm not saying I don't believe that he was sent a Facebook message but the idea that TMG only gives warnings via Facebook is both laughable and unrealistic.

Eid al-Fitr ended on the 15th. Chris is a little late saying his Eid prayers.

 

[Okkervils]

At least one staff member of TMG has explicitly stated when asked that he was warned in-person. He could be lying! But it is just as possible Chris is full of shit.

I don't disagree. But he said, "to my knowledge" and that isn't exactly convincing. The whole situation is bizarre, I'm not saying "CHRIS DINDU NUFFIN", regardless of how the warning was made he shouldn't have been getting that close to people.

I'm more inclined to believe he was told "maybe don't do that" to his face and didn't comprehend that it wasn't just a recommendation and didn't recognize it as a warning.

 

[trueandhonestfan]

Well, there is a definite falsehood coming from one of the parties. It will be interesting to see if the con people clarify or respond to Chris' statement.

I'm certain it's coming from Chris. I'll agree that Chris isn't some chronic liar, but he has been known to say inaccurate stuff like half truths or just not telling in addition to some lying. Maybe he missed the warning or didn't understand it, maybe he ignored it, but if that's the case he would have received an in person warning.

You know that sound Sideshow Bob makes when repulsed by something or disgusted? That's the sound I make when looking at those pics.

Chris only sprayed his arm, and had to fan out the bathroom because of the smell. Getting sprayed in the face or close to your eyes is completely different. The point of mace is to irritates the eyes, cause pain, and temporary blind your attacker.

Hasn't Chris been known to just ignore something and pretend he didn't hear it, and thus it doesn't apply to him?

Hirtes Roach Motel would be a great new board name.

With how active Hirtes is I would imagine making a sub just for him would free up a lot of stuff from AC, but the same could be said about Floraverse, which as I wri- edit this is 945 pages.

Christ, that video hurt to watch. Though this is all I could think of while watching

Definitely.
I've seen that alot with people who have autism though. Unless you specify (a previous poster said this too) "if you don't stop x then y will happen" some, not all, but some think it's literally just advice as opposed to a situation that could have consequences.

Back in the Megan Saga, Chris ignored the signs because "I was in love, so that made it alright." With DoopieDoOver he wouldn't stop using creepy word towards her, but that was okay because he was trying to talk like old women from the 1960s

Maybe Chris didn't understand the staff issuing the warning or in similar vain just ignore it because "My fans love me."

This has got me thinking, what if Chris put his Sonichu display on the ground on purpose?
The attendees or security wouldn't have done it, and it seemingly wasn't the cause of his meltdown, so what if, when Chris knelt on the floor, he took the Sonichu display on the ground for the same purpose, because if Chris is sad, then all his Sonichus must be sad too?

I dunno, call me :autism: for overanalysing, but I think it's interesting.

So that's why there were three cop cars out front when I got back from getting lunch.

Jesus christ, the lengths some of you buttfucking dipshits will go to to defend that mongo.
He's gonna actually murder someone eventually and it'll be a fucking riot watching the usual subjects bend over backwards trying to justify the blood on his hands.

To be fair, if someone was murdered by Chris and if they were an adult, then that's just Darwinism in effect; you'd have to be very intellectually ignorant to be murdered by Chris, or even be caught up in a situation where Chris murders you. Now, if it's a child, then its just sad and no one will justify that here or anywhere else because that's deplorable.

I've worked security for events like these plenty of times. Believe it or not, usually the contracted company is a small, local family-owned business and not a major outfit like Securitas or AlliedUniversal. Because of this, it's really common for them to fill out their roster with homeless or otherwise generally unqualified individuals to meet the event management's staffing requests. To top it off, event management and the contracted security companies are almost always mismanaged to the point of no communication between coordinators and any orders that do get through end up lost in translation.

By the time we were made aware of a disturbance at an event and got on location, usually the event's own staff would have taken steps to resolve the situation. This almost always escalated the problem. But even if we got there beforehand, my own co-workers usually had no experience in actual security work (and didn't have a guard card [not that that means anything, mind you lol]) and would fuck the whole thing up as well.

tl;dr: I totally believe that Chris wasn't given verbal warnings and any staff members saying that he was are simply trying to cover their own asses now.

People seem to forget he's actually very fucking mentally off. He's autistic and he's trans, with a F and everything on his drivers license. Feeding into his delusions with this shit and expecting a normal person outcome is even more exceptional than Chris is.

I don't know why they would have been afraid to just approach him and tell him to his face to knock it off. It's not like he was going to start throwing punches. He's never actually hurt anyone during these kinds of tantrums, unless you count being cursed.
