Chris-Chan: A Comprehensive History

[Uncle Meat]

He is doing the imagination schtick primarily for attention. It gives him a pre-planned schpiele that he can rattle off to dominate conversations with cashiers at the market or anyone else who has the misfortune of coming across him. The subject matter is clearly wish fulfillment, and he's clearly not satisfied with his current reality; but he doesn't really believe all this. It's just a routine to fall back on in awkward social situations. He's always had routines... how he is the creator of Sonichu, his pony self, how he needs a boyfriend free girl, how he's a tom girl, etc.

If he keeps talking and the other person just nods and smiles, it doesn't get awkward... at least for him.

See, this is something I’ve always been confused on. Chris shows no symptoms of being schizophrenic, and even when he claims he’s seeing the OC’s, it doesn’t seem like he’s being genuine or sincere. (For example when he was with the Teen Troon Squad and made out with Magi-Chan.) He just acts like a kid with imaginary friends, rather then a psychotic lunatic with hallucinations. Therefore, my theory is either that, Chris is doing it all as a coping mechanism to escape his sad existence, OR he could possibly be doing a Long and elaborate troll scheme. (Though I’m not sure if he has the mental capacity to stick with the shtick.)

Autists tend to have harder time distinguishing reality from fiction, but remember, Chris is high-functioning. Even back then during Jackie saga, when she told him to cosplay as Sonic, he outright told that he doesn't have any powers. Many people point out how he told Alec that characters have feelings and shit, but IMO it was just an extremely autistic and juvenile attempt at owning Alec, just like when he tried to impress Matthew with lifting a fucking doghouse of "10 tons". Also, don't forget that Chris is still playing with toys and children are always coming up with some fantasies that they are trying to pass as reality.

Also, no, Chris is not a schizo, since they have zero control over their delusions and hallucinations, that's why they are mostly terrifying. I mean, listen to this. Does this sound like Chris's ramblings about the Merge?

Well yeah I agree, he’s definitely not showing schizophrenic symptoms yet, but do you actually think his autistic delusions make him hallucinate? I’m no expert on psychology but AFAIK autism has no symptoms that align with Chris’ Dimensional Merge shenanigans. That’s why I’m considering it to possibly be a trolling attempt he’s directing at his “haters naysayers and trolls”

Do we know that for sure? From diagnoses more recent than the 90s and Chris’ claims? I have doubts about how “high functioning” he is.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

but do you actually think his autistic delusions make him hallucinate?

No-no, this is something he would have no control over. He imagines this stuff, but where regular person would tell "yeah, this is just a fantasy", he has easier time telling "yeah, that happened".

Idea Guys are a bunch of scumbags, but they didn't "break" Chris or something - they just LARPed with him and he liked it so much, that he can't stop.

Do we know that for sure? From diagnoses more recent than the 90s and Chris’ claims?

He is too adjusted to be low-functioning. Chris isn't afraid of physical contact, just eye contact, etc.

 

[Tennis-Ball-Tony]

Folks have said that the stuff Chris thinks he sees is just his imagination, but he imagines that most people don't have that ability.

 

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

I tend to agree with the people that said Chris is just larping and not that schizophrenic, he is like a kid who knows is all bullshit but wants to keep the playtime indefinitely, he is not self aware enough to realize people only humor him out of pity or wanting to milk him, in his mind if at least a few people go along with his play pretend he can keep the show going and ignore reality for a little longer.

Either way is probably fine by him if people are being condescending or dishonest when pandering to his stupid fantasies, he has demonstrated that he attracts trolls almost on purpose just so he can larp more and have people to talk to. He was probably bored to death during that year he went without much online interaction. As pathetic at it seems his fake girlfriends and manipulators were the best thing he was gonna get and he settled for it instead of the other option of having nothing and not even be able to rp for a little while even if it cost him more humiliations and getting used.

He is too adjusted to be low-functioning.

I agree with this too. He definitely is autistic but not to the point of being crippled by it and hallucinating weird shit, all that the stage play he set up, his whole upbringing and adult life was full of negligence and dumbassery but he could be relatively normal under different circumstances.

 

[Alpha Kennybody]

I wonder if Chris has enough low cunning to understand that bad publicity helps with his e-begging?

Anyway, after watching the latest Geno Episode I game to realise telling Chris to continue the comics is a double-edged sword. It might offer some lulzy insight into his psyche and morality, but in doing so, one's own sanity is threatened from reading said material. Christian's comics were just insufferable. He had to summon his ensemble cast of copyright-dodgers to validate his transition because there's no way anybody else would. I think this is why he photo-shopped his dad into the end photograph; he needed to rewrite history that his father was supportive.

There's the usual stuff like me getting angry over Sorbet in this issue, but my biggest take from it all was the Rosey somehow killing the boy's COD character in a rogue like FPS. Fuck knows how that was possible, but it was telling of Christian's level of morality and intellect that bribes with cookies didn't fix the issue, and then the boy told the rosey she needed to grow up. I wonder if his mother did something that cost him a saved game, and this was his proxy retaliation. Things are weird in the Sonichu universe: big deals are small and small deals are big.

The mention of Cera being naked back stage was both creepy and weird... because half the time, Sonichus don't wear clothes... or is her dad a gelding or a pervert?

But yes, better to let the cast die off into obscurity.

Everytime I listen to that video it seems like terry's speech makes more and more sense.
Some people just want to believe the world they want for themselves.
Chris knows this world despises him and want to exploit him, thats why he pretends to live in his own to protect himself from the reality.

This is perhaps drifting from the thread subject a bit, but that's always struck me, as well. I think that he also put some piece of writing online saying that he's since spoken with Robertchu in CWCville and the ol' Internet Lumberjack was all lovely and reformed and stated that he not only understood Chris's half-arsed transition but now fully supports it. On the one hand, it could be a perfectly understandable hope that, even if it's in the afterlife, he can reconcile with his Dad. On the other, I wonder if it's just that Chris can't stand anyone ever expressing a difference of opinion to him. That would make them a DANG DIRTY TROLL, and Chris doesn't want to consider that dear old Mr C would ever troll such a wonderful child as him.

Yeah, Chris-Tran malingers.
Example: when exited he's slipped out of his year long stint as his Oc.

Agreed. There’s a lot that I’d still like to know about the interactions between Sockness and Chris.

Like what for example? The Sockness thread is comprehensive imo

 

[The American Hedgehog]

Either way is probably fine by him if people are being condescending or dishonest when pandering to his stupid fantasies, he has demonstrated that he attracts trolls almost on purpose just so he can larp more and have people to talk to.

He doesn't want to interact with trolls, just with fans and fantasy enablers. He can't tell when trolls are pretending to be fans/enablers to get an in with him until it's too late.

He was probably bored to death during that year he went without much online interaction. As pathetic at it seems his fake girlfriends and manipulators were the best thing he was gonna get and he settled for it instead of the other option of having nothing and not even be able to rp for a little while even if it cost him more humiliations and getting used.

Nah, without troll interactions, Chris goes and makes IRL friends. For example, his Pokemon Club at End Games. He made some casual friends there who hung out with him sometimes outside of the club. Chris knows to avoid talking about these people publicly so from a Chris Chan lore perspective, it looks like the trolling was his only social outlet.

 

[Sicko Hunter]

He is too adjusted to be low-functioning. Chris isn't afraid of physical contact, just eye contact, etc.

The people who claim he's low functioning have never seen an actual low functioning autistic in their life. I went to a school where we had a low-functioning autistic with a handler at the back of the class (I think this was an attempt at mainstreaming) and these were the types of kids who would make squeaking noises, would not do work, just doodled on paper, struggled to speak normally and sit still. They were basically unable to function without someone else being there. I have memories of one specific kid who would have to be taken out of class by the handler frequently because of his outburst/ticks. This is what a low function autistic is. Chris can drive, pays bills, can write, speak coherently (most of the time). There is no case for him being low functioning, just lazy.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

There is no case for him being low functioning, just lazy.

I'd blame that he probably was treated like a retard all his life, no one tried to teach him how to function properly and he just didn't try harder.

 

[Jozef]

Yea, actually Chris's main problem is that he was always coddled and told he's a special little autistic snowflake. If he was raised differently, he'd be a perfectly functional member of society, albeit a little odd. That "mental institution" alone would have done him a LOT of good.

Unfortunately, that would probably mean the ED page wouldn't exist... which would mean the CWCki wouldn't exist, which would mean the CWCki Forums wouldn't exist, which would mean Kiwi Farms wouldn't exist.... and this site has since evolved into one of the last places on the internet with true freedom of speech... so you know what? a toast to Borb's shitty parenting!

 

[Guntkvd]

Considering how many contests Chris won i don't blame his autistic mind for thinking he is special.

 

[Steinercard]

Therefore, my theory is either that, Chris is doing it all as a coping mechanism to escape his sad existence,

I've known many diagnosed autistic people in my life. Especially that arsehole who looks at me with disgust in the mirror. It's a common thing amongst autists that they have some kind of weird delusion. The world is scary and makes no sense. It can't be organised or use repeatable formulas most of the time. So autists go to their special interests to shield themselves psychologically from the scary world. I've seen autists who thought they could use their Yugioh cards to summon real monsters, one lass who was convinced she was breeding actual Pokemon using multiple DSes so she could get them to "breed" her, and one real idiot who started studying Klingon because he was bored in school and the teachers never gave a shit.

A lot of the autists I knew later became trannies for the same reason all trannies troon out. They have a moment of self reflection and realise how fucked they are. But lack the mental fortitude to stand their ground and do something constructive. So they feel if they can change gender they can escape themselves. It's still the weird delusion. Just more harmful. I have no idea why I didn't turn out like that. Maybe I just saw how fucked all the other autists were and just didn't want to be that? I dunno. I can't help but feel sorry for Chris. He really needed some arsehole IRL to kick him up the arse every once in a while. The worst thing you can do with autistic delusions is indulge them. It makes it worse. Not better. They aren't ever going to magically get better. And Chris is no exception.

Fun fact - the store where he was giving interview as kid is the same store where he sprayed a Gamestop employe. Full circle.

 

[taintmisbehavin]

Barb and Bob were definitely of the generation that did not differentiate between retardation and conditions like autism.

When they were coming up, people dealt with it by either keeping them at home with no expectations of independence or have them locked in an institution as the family dirty secret (hence Bob’s obsession with Chris being put in one.)

Add in Barb’s delusions of royal grandeur and her coddling and you have the perfect storm for turning someone who could have had somewhat of a normal life into...well, whatever Chris is at this point.

I believe it was purely a generational thing with Bob. Barb was older when she had Chris, but she certainly wasn't senior citizen discount at Golden Corral elderly like Bob was. I think deep down she always secretly desired the current dynamic between herself and Chris. All the coddling and shitty parenting on her part was either deliberate or subconsciously motivated by a desire to have a dysfunctional adult child who could not abandon her like the rest of her family, regardless of how awful she is to them or how badly the child (Chris in this case) may have desired some independence during his youth. Bob just went along with it because, as you said, he genuinely had antiquated ideas about what it means to get someone "the help they need" when it comes to something like autism and didn't really think there were good alternatives. Plus the guy was ancient, had already lived enough of life for two people at least, and was just too fucking tired and worn out to really put up any resistance.
