In regards to the bluespike audio, I would encourage people to consider the time period. It was a weird fucking time in Christory. Blue fucked up, but it was not as dramatic a fuckup back then.
Like, keep in mind, back then we genuinely considered Chris to be a bigot. Anti-sjw stuff (or just "chill out, jokes are OK, making a watermelon joke isn't the same as a lynching") was not as popular (or obvious) then as it is now.
If blue had kept it just barely under the limit for what's considered acceptable for fucking with Chris, like if he toed the line and just made Chris cry by calling him gay, he would've been cheered. The idea that this spergy, bigoted asshole hates gays so much, that he cries when getting called gay (nevermind that "getting called gay" means berated a retard until he breaks down and cries), would be cause for applause. Maybe not everyone, but a huge portion of the crowd would think that way.
Bluespike was a kid trying to navigate the line between "just cruel enough to punish that tard" (something we all thought back then) and "not cruel enough to get anyone in trouble / do any permanent damage". And he slipped. Again, really the only thing that crossed the line, considering the morals of the day, was the medallion thing.
Everything surrounding the medallion thing is almost as cruel as the medallion thing itself, but that's not what anyone back then cared about.
Now, of course nowadays, we all know that interpretation of Chris is dumb. Chris isn't a klan leader. He's a dumbass from a sheltered life in suburban Virginia.
Heh, or, most of us realize that interpretation of Chris is dumb. Some, like Hirtes, are still convinced Chris is satan.
Like a great example of this is the hilarious "niggos" word. People use that word as an example of Chris being racist. Like, does no one remember the context of niggos? That was when we were blackmailing Chris into saying the word "nigger". See, he knows "nigger" is a very bad word, and that he should never, ever say it. So when we were holding his psn account hostage (or something like that?), we said "say nigger or we're deleting everything" and he tried to pull a fast one. He tried to say "niggos". Chris wasn't being racist. He was being autistically (and hilariously) anti-racist.
Chris is an asshole a lot of the time. But not really in any complex way that requires philosophical viewpoints. He's not "racist", he's childish.
