Chris-Chan: A Comprehensive History

I think Geno's trying to be objective as possible by reading everything in the CWCki, but it's impossible, given Chris' personality. Even more so now with him in jail. But I do agree with you that skimming it would be a good option.
We don’t need to know about Chris’s every social media post.
 
i've been through geno's doc a couple of times and it gets fairly shit at points, though that isn't genos fault, but more chris and his orbiters at whatever time he happens to be running through. i think the total documentation is fine though. when it's all complete you'll just be able to skip the boring parts

i've come to think of it like a tv show - some episodes will be good, some episodes will be boring as shit. i appreciated total documentation around the liquid chris saga and the blue arms saga because pretty much anything that chris was posting during that era was absolute gold, but the recent episodes have been enough of a slog that i haven't bothered watching for a while

actually, i might not bother tuning back in ever now. not because chris fucked his mom, but because pretty much anything after blue arms isn't funny anyway. it's just a sad fat man being a troon. nothing to laugh at, so, what's the point? might revisit some choice episodes at some point, maybe, but the purpose of the thing is documentation. it's not really genos fault that the documentation stopped being funny
 
This.

They actually moved to another school district to avoid having him placed in a special school, rather than let him get the help that he needed. It went downhill from there. Seems like that's when the immaculate victim thing started. Bob and Barb concluded that Chris IS special, but in a good way, and better than everyone else, entitled to special treatment, and nothing is his fault. Why have him go to a special school to address his specific challenges, when you can send him to a normal school, and pay girls to tolerate him. High school girls with no training. who were just their to get their own education. Great parenting.

In addition to their wise decisions in regard to his education, they also seem to have used toys, video games, and the internet to basically keep him out of their hair. I've been on this Crazy Train from the beginning. I used to watch his early videos, where he would be yelling and throwing stuff around. I always wondered what exactly his parents were doing when he was making those. Like first of all, this family were basically shut ins (parents were most likely home), and that does not appear to be a larger than average house, there is no way they were not aware of this noise. But you only see Bob come in during one video to see WTF?, and it was only because he was worried about the house being condemned.

As soon as they started getting the prank calls, and it became apparent that the first internet girlfriend was a hoax, they should have limited and monitored his internet usage. I am absolutely amazed that they didn't do this. It was so disruptive to their home life. Calls at all hours of the night, hookers being sent to the house, Chris tard raging about "da trolls", and acting like a circus animal in his bedroom as he made videos. Why they didn't just straight up cancel their internet service (unlikely that Bob & Barb used it, given their age and um, intellect), and get a new phone number is beyond me. Take him to the library once a week to upload his little gay comics. Unless they just figured it kept Chris occupied and out of their hair. They allowed this stuff to go on and on, and get worse as he became more notorious on the internet, and it was a simple fix. We wouldn't even be on here discussing Chris right now if they nipped it in the bud.

I know its been said before, but Chris was pretty much karma for Barb and Bob being terrible parents/spouses/human beings.

Honestly, it works if you want to get a "timeline" of it all because the wiki can be a tad confusing when you try to put it all in a single narrative linear structure. But I can see what you mean, the doc is enjoyed especially by basic bitches who cant be bothered to at least look at the cwcki and just see the doc as supplementary instead of the "real deal".

Its fucking surreal because now that the documentary has been trending, i've gone to parties where total normies are talking about Chris Chan and his little world (this was before the incest stuff.) I'm not sure if that would have even happened if the documentary didn't exist at all. I for one think its kinda gay how normies and zoomers use their deluded, totalitarian and muddled perspective on the internet to pass judgement on the chris chan story, and those who interact/interacted with him. That being said, I think the CWCki was a product of its time, and given the disparities between trolling chris and documenting chris, the documentary acts as an objective view of the whole story. The problem with early Chris Chan discussion videos is that the perspective was slanted as pro-troll. Now whether or not you agree with the trolls or not is irrelavent, because having a bias of any kind when covering such a complicated topic fails to teach anybody anything, in the end. The same goes for those faggy breadtubers/commentary channels who defend Chris as some innocent victim of circumstance, those people are just as bad if not worse in a lot of cases.

The worst parts are the several episodes from the 2008-2009 peak of classic trolling where 90% of the episode is a phonecall between various trolls and Chris with simple captions. I understand that there is a glut of content to cover from that era and that is probably why he did that but it's a chore to get through and often not funny or informative. Those calls could have been edited down.

Editing them down removes the "Comprehensive" part of the whole documentary. We need to hear the context and all the bits surrounding the event. I'd rather have too much than too little.
 
I think he stopped partly because the motherfucking saga was a bit too icky for him, and he realized if he wants to wring the maximum patreon buxx out of this documentary he needs to stretch it out as long as possible.
He pretty much said this was the case. He was already planning for a brief hiatus after I believe what would have been part 60 so he could take a breather and recharge before tackling more. The incest call then leaked a day before part 59 so he said he was going to take the hiatus earlier than expected because he didn't want to profit during what is now one of the biggest incidents of the entire saga.

I don't blame him. That events of that weekend were so earth shattering that it was smart to just stand by and wait to see how things played out. While the series might be boring at some times, it has done a good job of demonstrating the scope of Chris and his story on the internet.
 
I like how Genos did the doc overall; yeah, the censorship did suck mostly because Geno was not doing the bullying but reporting on it. And massive respect for taking a break during the biggest saga and not carpetbagging it. Post Bob's death and the fire does tend to drag until a big saga/event and some episodes are really boring overall. One thing that I cant blame Geno for is the orbiter wave and was due to the doc.
I was one of those people that was interested by Chris because of the doc and the down the rabbit hole
 
Reckon GenoSam is the reason so many zoomie zooms and troony troons call Chris a woman and now act as the foremost authority on Chris despite them finding out about him 2 months ago rather than a literal decade ago by cryptic 4chan posts of attraction signs.
Zoomies like ben saint call Chris a woman because they want to be called women when they change too.

I agree, the documentary is more a like a guided archive really, and quite a bit is edited down more than people think. For example, people complained about that phone call episode with the dad because the whole 20 min episode was that call... however the original call was 2 hours.

So you're saying GenoSamuel ruined a whole generation of Christorians.
 
I'm glad GenoSamuel compiled all the information together for his series. For someone like me who was only vaguely familiar with Chris, it made for an easy deep dive to really get familiar with "Christory".

It works as a historical and mostly comprehensive account. However, it doesn't work as a documentary, which should really hit the major highlights and work the information into a concise narrative.

I did find the later stuff past the golden age arch was really dull. It was episode after episode of Chris said this on twitter this day and then went to court over loans the next.

And he skipped over some funny shit in the golden age arch.

Geno only put a tiny part of The Father Call in the documentary, and The Father Call is pure gold all the way through.

Also, Geno didn't include hardly any of the Kacey solo calls with Chris, and they offer an excellent example of how Chris will put up with being insulted as long as a woman is doing it.

It was great hearing Kacey point out that Chris' shitty associate's was worthless, and he just had to agree. He normally acts like his shitty associate's from a shitty community college that he took six years to get means he is a fucking super genius who must be treated with the utmost respect and deference. She also shut him down whenever he tried to cry like a bitch about his honor roll in high school. She just said, "No one cares about high school," which is true. For example, there are enormous percentages of high school students in America who graduate with a high school degree every year, and they don't even know how to read.

She asked him to recall something he learned in college, and the only thing he could think of was that he took a roller skating class. He also admitted that his dad Bob did all his college coursework for him. There is a lot of valuable info in those calls, and Geno included pretty much none of it.

Also, I agree that Geno focuses on the begging videos made by Chris and Chris' shitty Twitter rambling way too much.

I didn't know that. It would make sense, as Chris was getting into arguments with his English professor, as he clearly didn't understand what was going on since Chris was very under prepared for college overall. Of course Bob would do that.

This confused me so I had to go look. It was ice skating ya dingus.

Kacey: OK, then why can't you put that energy into getting a job or getting a better degree? Haven't you ever thought of getting your masters? Or anything like that? I mean- I mean, do you even remember anything from school? Besides that mall?
Chris:: I remember a lot of things from school.
Kacey: Like what?
Chris:: [really long pause] Yeah, I do remember that I had to- er- I had to take the certain amount of classes. I had to take a physical education class and art classes.
Kacey: You had to take a physical education class in college?
Chris:: Yeah, I took two actually. Tennis and ice skating.
Kacey: [surprised] OK?
Chris:: I think I told you about the ice skating. That- that was- that [indecipherable]
Kacey: I- I heard- you told me you went ice skating. But I didn't know that was a college course. I mean, I'm sorry. I am not paying college money to go fucking ice skating! I'm sorry.
Chris:: I mean, that's the first time I ever learned to skate, of any sort. Even though I tried roller skating on my s- on my own one time, I just end up- I just kept falling. I didn't get much done out of that. But-
Kacey: Yeah- it- it takes balance.
Chris:: Yeah, and differently-
Kacey: Yeah, it's really really really hard to fall on something with four wheels.
Chris:: Really really hard to fall on something with four wheels?
Kacey: Yeah, roller skating's like, way easier than ice skating or rollerblading.
Chris:: Yeah, unfort- yeah, I rephrase that. I mean, uh- I did not have roller skates. I had roller blades.
Kacey: Roller skating and rollerblading are two totally different things. You know that, right?
Chris:: Yeah, well I mean. When I want to learn how to roller skate, I just thought, you know, they have- cause they have- they're- they got the wheels on the bottom.
Kacey: [migraine sigh] OK...
Chris:: [interjecting more] But that was so many years ago.
Kacey: OK, do you remember anything substantial from school? Besides you made a mall and... you made a mall.
Chris:: I remember... taking my accounting classes for the first major I picked out. Even though I was confused, and lost, when I was- when I picked it out. And can't say any more cause I told her about that fresh from my memory. I talked with her earlier tonight.
Kacey: Why don't you go back into accounting? It's really not that bad of a job. It's not like you'd be getting a degree in philosophy or something.
Chris:: I don't even remember- I- I don't even remember if it really was an accounting degree, I think it was something else. Something like marketing or something. But then, years later, my father and I talk to my- talked to my couns- talked to my counselor- my guidance counselor. Eh, yeah. 2002, something like that. Anyway, turns out there were not as many jobs that that degree could get me, and uh, then there were more jobs available for Computer Aided Drafting and Design, so my father encouraged me to switch over because-
Kacey: Well obviously that's done you a lot of good. Cause you're not getting those jobs. You can't even find them. You can't even google them.
Chris:: Because I was- Because I'm very avid with computers that's why- and then I made the switch, and I just did, I agree with that-
Kacey: Apparently you're not very adept at computers if you can't even google something.
Chris:: I can google things!
Kacey: Then why don't you do it?
Chris:: I'm going to google the financial aid. And look for the S-A-F-S-A, F-A-S-A...
Kacey: The FAFSA. That's-
Chris:: Yeah, I remembered that! And I'm going to do it.
Kacey: [pause then sigh]
Chris:: Anyway, yeah. Anyway yeah, switch- it was a major switch, but yeah, at least the credits are transferable. And also I do remember something from my accounting class. You know, the first-in, first-out method-
Kacey: You do know that if you already used credits towards a degree they don't count, right? Like, you're gonna to have to start over.
Chris:: Wait, what?
Kacey: You can't transfer them. They've already gone towards a degree. Chris, seriously!
Chris:: This is like- this is like years ago. And those credits did transfer from my [unintelligible] major to my next major.
Kacey: [interrupting] OK OK OK OK. Chris, Chris. How long have you been out of school?
Chris:: I would say over three years now.
Kacey: Then most of your stuff isn't gonna mean crap anyway. The classes expire. They will make you take them over. That's a problem I'm going through right now. You're probably not gonna be able to transfer anything. You're gonna have to start over.
Chris:: [sighs] But I've already got the degree and the certificate.
Kacey: Doesn't matter, then that's over! E-e- I mean, some things are just not transferable. I- I can't believe that you do not know how this works.
Chris:: [pause] Yeah, I was pretty much there to learn what was going on during the time and... yeah, my father did most of the bra- most of the brain- most of the brainwork there. I was just mostly- um- I was- I mean- it- in 2000-
Kacey: So what? You're gonna let them do that for the rest of your life? You need to know things. You need to be informed. [Chris sighs] I-I- It's up to your brainwork. I- It's- You might as well have never gone to college. Look at you!
Chris:: Yeah, but at least I went to college and I earned a degree.

God bless Kacey. All her calls were fantastic.
