Chris And Anna

[DrChristianTroy]

I assume their private conversations are a variation, at best, of aforementioned asspats.

 

[Yawning Squirtle]

The only possibility I can imagine that makes sense is if Anna has the same opinion on Chris that I do: that he's an incurable pussy and there's no genuine danger with being pretty generous with the compliments. Otherwise, I can't make heads or tails of what Anna is trying to do.

I think that's pretty close to the truth. I know Anna has her problems, but I don't really see her wanting to "hoard" Chris to herself like it's been said here a couple of times.

She probably just goes "OK, whatever you say, Chris" to anything he says, cos, as Marvin said, she knows he's a giant pussy and would never carry out any violent threats. To her, Chris will never amount to anything (not different from Borb after discovering their son was autistic), so she just acts nice to him. She gives him asspats and tries to keep trolls away from him, cos it makes her feel better about herself. Yay, I'm helping the autistic manchild!

Maybe we exaggerate Anna's relationship with Chris. They don't even chat that often. It's mostly just random "Likes" and asspats on Facebook.

I can see her talking about him behind his back. There have been times where she's slipped snarky comments in or said things that seem just too wrong to be regular asspats. Sure she's defending her friend but there have been signs of cracks. Not even the nicest closest friends could sustain such a one sided relationship. Like here she is publicly defending him and coddling him. And the instance she made her own whining Facebook post, he swoops in and trys to make it all about himself.

I have to give Anna props for putting up with Chris' shit all the while acting so "nice" about it. Even so, I would just love to have a phonecall or webcam conversation with her, not to troll of course but to try and gain a better understanding.

The reason I say she hoards Chris is that I can't imagine a way to justify how she acts, aside from describing it as hoarding. I mean, not literally, obviously, but she (unreasonably) obsesses over who Chris associates with. That's what I mean by hoarding. It's been a long-term thing with Anna. And when I thought she might've figured out she can't win, she keeps on going.

She has reasons to be concerned about who Chris associates with, obviously, but her behavior long-term puzzles me. I can't understand it.

She probably just goes "OK, whatever you say, Chris" to anything he says, cos, as Marvin said, she knows he's a giant pussy and would never carry out any violent threats.

Eh, I guess I can't provide the evidence that would disprove this theory. Chris is a pussy to normal people, but he's also a pussy from his perspective. He will do things that could literally kill people, but from his perspective, he doesn't notice these risks (or possibly doesn't see them as significant).

The reason I'm shocked at how Anna deals with Chris (sometimes, not her public interactions with him, she's just being retarded there) is that she's not new to Chris. She doesn't deal with him much, but still, she's been dealing with him for a long time. Even if she really sees Chris in a very generous way, she should still know that not 100% of what he says is correct. And when you're dealing with people getting hurt, you shouldn't be so loose. There are actual risks and I can't imagine what Anna's thinking. And it's not a huge sacrifice you'd make. You can still give Chris asspats but phrase them slightly differently.

And we know she's not afraid of handing Chris the truth sometimes. I think it was when Chris was hating on gay men once?

To her, Chris will never amount to anything (not different from Borb after discovering their son was autistic), so she just acts nice to him. She gives him asspats and tries to keep trolls away from him, cos it makes her feel better about herself. Yay, I'm helping the autistic manchild!

Uhh, this probably most of it. I just think she should know better in a few situations.

Maybe we exaggerate Anna's relationship with Chris. They don't even chat that often. It's mostly just random "Likes" and asspats on Facebook.

Oh, yeah, no, that's definitely it. From what Chris says, they interact privately (like, really privately) maybe a handful of times in a six month period. And that's being generous.

they are the perfect punishment for each other

Wow, that's... That's beautiful, man. If/when this backfires on Anna, I'd love to see them implode under the weight of their neediness and uselessness.

Like with a lot of Chris' motivations behind an action, we're probably putting WAY more thought into their relationship than Anna ever has. As mentioned before, I think she hasn't any idea the gravity surrounding Chris, and the harm she may be doing to the both of them. Even if she's aware, maybe she just doesn't care. Some folks do shitty things just because it's in their nature, or because it's easy and there's no consequence. Either way, when they self destruct, nothing of great value will be lost.

she's his future sweetheart

I still think Chris and Anna are going to get married. Anna has a low self esteem and she sees Chris as someone worse off then she is. Talking to Chris on Facebook and defending him makes her feel better about her average life.

Chris' dysfunction of a life and a "marriage" with Anna would be so fascinating as a reality tv show. Since our culture makes entertainment out of trash, why not.

You are right, it would be an interesting reality tv show. Imagine how America would react to Chris's weirdness. Now I really hope this happens. If Chris and Anna got married I would send them a nice wedding gift.

Anna lives in another state, right? That would mean the two haven't actually seen each other in-person in years. I find it funny that Chris has started stating he wants no online only relationships but makes an exception for Anna. I do understand it a bit as they are old friends and I think he mainly means girlfriends, still though. I wish he'd treat her like everyone else. I think she of all people should be trusted the least. All she does is enable him. At least the trolls where trying to point out his faults to him, some of them even tried to help him better himself. Realizing one has a problem is the first step to solving them. Friends help with that. Me thinking that way, Anna is no friend of Chris. If anything the trolls are more friends than she is. Not to mention they gave him a purpose so to speak. He was "battling the evil trolls". Communicating with people. He had purpose. I don't think he realized it or realizes it but I personally think that how "exciting" things where may have helped with his . Today, he has nothing to look forward to. No one to confront and try to defeat.

All that being said, I wish the two would meet in person. Saying you're someones friend on fb and saying you'r someones friend irl are two different things. I think she would either end up marrying Chris as other people have stated or run for the hills.

And we know she's not afraid of handing Chris the truth sometimes. I think it was when Chris was hating on gay men once?

See, things like this remind me of my former housemate. She was a tattooed, very fat, angry, Asian lesbian who blamed every failing in her life on prejudice. It wasn't that her behaviour was totally obnoxious or inappropriate, it was discrimination against people with tattoos, against "healthy plus sized women", against the patriarchy that kept women from flexing their MUSCLES, against Asians or against LGBT people or any number of subcultures that she chose to associate with.

She was, basically, a Tumblr Social Justice warrior, who flew into a screaming rage when two of her friends called each other faggots as a joke. Even after they explained that they were clearly not homophobic and were just guys being guys, she still said she could no longer be friends with anyone who ever used homophobic slurs, ever, even in private jest between friends.

Yet she hated the deaf.

There were three of us in the household; one moved in with his girlfriend, though, so I was looking for someone else to fill that gap. One person that came up was a deaf guy. Instead of "celebrating diversity" as I thought she would, she flew into another angry rant about how deaf people 'hate hearing people" and never integrate, that this guy -- who I had met and was a total bro, by the way, fucking funny guy -- must hate us because we were hearing and he was not.

I was flabbergasted at the time. Miss Social Justice was openly prejudiced and thought that was fine. It took me a little while to understand it.

She didn't give a shit because she wasn't deaf. LGBT discrimination affected her because she loved vag. But discrimination against deaf people? Fuck those "windows-to-hell". Talk about projecting.

I think Anna and Chris are similar to her, in a way. Anna will get up in arms about someone saying "faggot" because she kind of identifies as LGBT (sort of) but when it suits her she'll throw the word out like it's nothing. Chris, too, is the same. Homos can go die in explosions, but getting banned from a game store is a crime against humanity. Trolling Chris online is a heinous criminal action worthy of gruesome public execution, but Chris trolling Alec is not only okay, but encouraged, because Chris "has had so much more".

Essentially it's a lack of empathy. Anna doesn't give a shit if someone else gets assaulted by Chris because well fuck them. They're not Anna, who cares? Of course, if Anna stubs her toe, everyone should drop what they're doing and fix this shit because dammit, that's ANNA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GUYS. The one and only!

The root causes are ego, narcissism and lack of empathy.

 

[DrChristianTroy]

I honestly can't think of a reason to hate a deaf person besides them being a dick to me. Which is less having to do with being deaf and more just someone being a dick. Sorry if this is too off topic but that kind of blew my mind.

I couldn't fucking understand it either. It totally blew my mind coming from her, but it helped me understand what drives such people.

 

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

Deaf people have their own communities and some of them really have no interest in dealing with the hearing more than they have to. I wouldn't be shocked to find out her arrogant Social Justice schtick rubbed one of them the wrong way and provided an event in her life where one of the "meek" she gets off on defending told her to STFU.

 

[Zim]

I may be totally off but I think that it's not so much Anna feels good about giving asspats to OPL. I think, at this point, it might be more about her feeling good that she has more contact with him then his legion of "fans". As others have brought up it's an attention thing. She can hold her friendship with him over most of us and feel good about it.

Who knows what she really thinks about him? I'm just here to see how the movie ends.

 

[José Mourinho]

I wonder will there be a time when Anna will lose patience with Chris.

Reminds me of a lot of people I see at an Aspergers forum. There was a thread about Chris, and about half of the people were defending him despite his homophobia and racism. But then one of the users mentioned that Chris hates spergs, and the majority opinion quickly shifted against him.

At the risk of sounding broad, maybe Anna has some serious mental issues herself. I know some people get off on controlling others. Maybe its that. Maybe she secretly wants to see Chris get hurt. That virginity comment when Chris was facing jail time was something to behold. I mean, even though Chris, legally speaking, probably deserved jail time, to crack a rape joke in the midst of that requires a revolutionary amount of insensitivity.

I had to look it up because I keep seeing that post being mentioned...

Anna's comment really went over his head. : / He didn't get it at all.
Also, it's interesting to see that right after this post is when he ended up loosing his virginity.

 

[CatParty]

i wonder if anna sees chris as a way to get out of utah. like she must know he's more than likely getting the house once barb goes. someone as "hip" and "edgy" must want to get away from her mormon oppressors
