Chris-Chan: A Comprehensive History

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I mean, the simplest, most likely explanation is that anything that mentioned Chris on Wikipedia tended to get incessantly vandalized, so thereafter any mention of "Chris Chan" became blacklisted. Probably could make a Chris Chan article now, since weening is down from what I can tell, but I doubt they'd reverse the policy at this point.
If Chris Chan managed to be SO autistic that mainstream sources literally cannot document him, then we all have to admit he's kind of a smelly pantshitting genius (in a way.)

Iirc a lot of the issue is also their sourcing policy. Being an encyclopedia they don't like primary sources, and secondary sources don't tend to really talk about Chris enough for Chris to pass the Wikipedia notability standard. You can call it a failure to adapt to the way information flows in the modern day if you want, but I doubt Wikipedia really even cares to talk about the kind of people more heavily documented here.

Im just glad that despite Geno going off the deep end, he atleast didnt went with conspiracy theories involving Chris-chan
attributing to the 2024 assassination attempt of Trump to be somehow influenced by Chris' 2016 post.
 
Meh, he sounds like pretty much every other expat who has been in Asia for too long.

When visiting Asia, if I ever met an “old hand” expat at a bar, they all had some weird canned screed like this. Honestly most sane expat.
"White Monkey Syndrome"?

I don't think a Wikipedia page on Chris, which only summarizes like the most basic elements of him, is needed when you have an entire wiki on him that goes into great detail of every single part of his life, and at least two documentaries that act as the CliffsNotes version of that.

But yeah, a Wikipedia page on Chris would likely be very hard to manage, given what kinds of people follow him and/or get into his orbit, so I don't blame the staff over there for not allowing it. Keeping shit on track on the CWCki is already hard enough, and we specifically do account registration by request, so not just anyone can edit.

The other part is that its quite apocryphal. Chris chan is best talked about in the way we talk about crypids-

What I mean by that is, that theres always going to be conflicting views, opinions, a lot of the lore surrounding him almost becomes myth and documenting that is hard.

Id imagine Chris-Chan as a phenomena of collective story telling, more than anything else- because thats originally what it was.

There are some objective sagas and objective facts around the guy and that should be cleared up, but so much surrounding the guy is shrouded in gayops, heresy, exaggeration, etc. Hes like the internets 'big fish' story.

Id put a disclaimer here in saying that hes guilty of most of the stuff people attribute to him, doesnt really deserve sympathy, and deserves probably much worse (would be helpful if people stopped fellating his dick online and younger weens stopped praising him).

But wikipedia is too objective, to boring, too academic. Would you tell the story of the big fish you caught on wikipedia, or would you embelish it in a video series, around a campfire, etc?

The other problem is you do get people with clear agendas, as you said, trying to insert themselves into the narrative, to change it to suit their own purposes and ambitions. You do have different factions vying for the soul of the dude, watchmen, praetor, meangirls, the chessclub, etc. Youre going to have different tidbits of information and narratives forming throughout the process.

What can you do as a good job? Try to stick to the generally agreed upon things, and tell the story for the interesting parts. It is a story, its actually a very interesting one. Trying to make it academic, let alone academic enough for wikipedia and taking that approach kind of kills what it should be. Fun, and something to talk about
 
Hit me with the rainbow stickers, but you lot not sure that Geno isn’t joking? He does have a dry sense of humour and I could see him having a giggle at the schizo autistic retards of the forum who think everything posted on the internet is 100% genuine.

So, someone else is now trying to start their own 'comphrensive history' series documentary, but for zoomers with ADHD I guess. This guy is trying to start a multi-part documentary series on Chris, seemingly trying to follow in Geno's footsteps, but cuttting out things that he sees are 'boring'. First episode is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=121_jT3lpx8

From what I’ve seen, it’s decently put together, but geno already set the gold standard. Unless he brings something new to the table, it’s just going to feel redundant. Plus, we all know Chris’s story is not in the best phase right now, and most of the interesting developments have already been covered.

on one hand, it can be argued that geno's series IS too full of fluff, and if this was a documentary on anything else, like nature or world history, i'd say there's use for one that's really longwinded and overly detailed, and one that's short and to the point
but this is chris, and frankly, i do NOT want more underages and tourists knowing about him, we know what happens when you give normies things, they can't play with their toys responsibly
if anything chris' long and absurd history was almost a filter of sorts, without it you get all the gunk that will watch this in the same way they watch "spilling the tea" drama channels and view it in the same manner

no thanks
 
The smiling friends creators and friends are SEETHING right now that they didn't get this once in a lifetime opportunity.
They already made a Sonichu animated series.
