Chris-Chan: A Comprehensive History

[ManInTheBlarms]

Is it necessary to read every single one of Chris's inane tweets and Facebook posts and the replies to them? Only thing that bothers me about the series.

Chris's video content trickled to a crawl around this point. His social media spergouts were the only real noteworthy bits of content in between begging videos. He also realized his messages hit a wider audience through Twitter than just carpet-bombing YouTube.

Then, I guess it wouldn't be comprehensive but just skipping some of that would probably make for better content.

No it's not necessary, so I skip over most of them.

Damn thats skipping over them...? My God... Enjoyed the series regardless, you have good internet man voice.

 

[Shovel Mech Pilot]

It's a "comprehensive" history so it's not going to be 100% highlights.

 

[Gilgamesh]

Well, that's the neat thing - you don't. Just jump to the relevant stuff.


So you'll keep trying until you get one?

This. Just upload the videos that keep getting taken down to Bitchute or whatever, and say on your channel's community tab "Part X, Y, and Z can be found here: " or on the part preceding its description or pinned comment.

 

[quick bird]

I mean if its not being monitized then just put it up on Bitchute anyway.

Especially once we reach 2019 onwards, where his tweets become even more incoherent, repetitive and difficult to make out even for the most autistic of Chris followers. He should probably only summarise most of the jargon he tweets out in a short synopsis, so they don't take that much of an episodes time.

Then again, not so sure what Geno's attitude is about how long he wants to extend the number of episodes. If he's going to recount each and every written tweet, then we're looking at about 150+ episodes at that point.

Bitchute lowers the resolution to SD (480p) and encodes at a low bit rate. I guess most people don't give a shit, but I don't like it.

He h

So considering that Geno will be leaving some people out of the documentary when he is going to return to it, is there really a point in calling a "comprehensive" documentary anymore? Calling Heather the "wallflower" and censoring shit was stupid already, but why would he choose to leave people out just because he got contacted by them? While new orbiters and idiots are calling what happened recently the end of Christory, I honestly think the only thing this entire thing will end is Geno's series.

he have been censoring shit for some time now.

 

[Muu]

There's certainly a good case for going a bit faster in the quiet parts of Christory, but the series will soon be in the Idea Guys saga when it does resume, so it will pick up a bit.

I thought that too maybe he'll make it an hour now, the longer the video the quicker he is done with it.

 

[BigTubboWithLittleChina]

The part showing what the troll did to his medallion was changed to remove the video of the pickle blowjob, fire, and pissing to put it out

Fags. That stuff is classic.

 

[The handsome tard]

Unpopular opinion (I think, it could be just a nitpick of mine) but here it goes:

I hate the wave of newfags in the comment sections, all being dramatic as fuck and demanding the trolls's heads on a stake. It makes me wonder how young they are and if they even knew how the internet was like back them. I get this "my computer is a twitter machine" vibe from them. Sure, shit's bad but stop acting like the stuff outside of the bluespike stuff was just "the worst".

Edit: When I mentioned twitter, Im right on the money since most of them only learned about Chris because of the twitter hash tags so we are getting a flood of not only new fags but twitter fags too. A lot of faggotry

A lot of these newer and/or younger viewers of Chris and his history are not really good at seeing things as a time capsule, and don't really know much about how the old internet worked and how people interacted. There was far less awareness about bullying and online harassment for the most part in western society compared to what we have today, messaging platforms where not that interconnected/linked to a multitude of other services (like AOL and msn) so it was much harder to leak information or dox people in order to get information out of someone, and also there was basically a non-existent (or far less smaller e-celebrity) influencer culture online at that point (I think you'll notice that when a lot of celebrities started hopping onto Facebook and especially Twitter around 2011-2012 ish, is when the social media trend started to take off and hit the normies more, although you could make the argument that it started earlier with YouTube when Google acquired the company, however it took years to get the popularity that it's out now because a lot of the competition died off like Blip.tv or faded away, like Dailymotion) and because search engines were still starting to get the hang of perfecting perfect algorithm based on a person's search patterns, it was more difficult to find exactly what you were looking for, and lead people down certain rabbit holes that they otherwise wouldn't have if they weren't using what was essentially the remnants of the "old internet" back then, and that's what lead people to find people like Chris and discuss about him on certain forums.


It's very strange for people who were aware of Chris back in the day for sure, I guess this sort of like how people feel about their favourite multimedia pop culture icons being a big part of your childhood and upbringing but then it gets corporatized in this new era of greedy money making by companies years later, into something that has strayed so far from the source material, that it's not even remotely similar to the source material anymore and doesn't seem as good as it used to be, and makes you feel like you're out of touch with what once was.

Chris was like a product of the times, and I think it escapes people that the way in which people interacted with the lolcows back then was something relatively unfamiliar to most internet users of today.

Indeed but since I know most of these newfags are from twitter, I know they already come in with a somewhat warped and bias perspective of the world and morality. I feel like they go into the series already blaming the trolls for the stuff that chris came to do and use the series as confirmation bias, seeing things as that simple (again, warped vision of the world thanks to Twitter). These are the people that get mad when you refer to Chris as trans now for obvious reasons when they were rabbidly defending him before.


Trust me, I already see pricks saying that Chris should be considered "innocent" because of the trolls did to him.

Besides, if Im allow to say, shit was better off when we could """bully""" each other when we did stupid crap...the only reason Chris went as long as he did because he is comically incapable of fucking change. But usually when you were trolled back then, it was once and then it stopped because the normal person quit acting like a retard...but Chris is far from a normal person. Most of the twitter kiddies wouldnt last a fucking day on the good old days of the internet.

Jim was so right when he and others said the Golden Age of internet is dead. We're never going to have freedom to say what we want, and have the right to call people faggots and niggers for their retarded antics.

It saddens me, because I know the meme of having something small and nice until a large group of normies come and fuck it up, but how is it a meme to be made fun of when it happens over and over again.

It's become a giggernigger hivemind of doxxing and ruining people who go against the majority; it has become its own monster and I guess I'm just Mad At The Internet now.

I know I'm a lurker turned newfag, but that's what I enjoy about KF. It honestly feels like a way to relive the golden age of the internet where we'd pick on each other for stupid crap. It's sort of like the last bastion of the wild web.

On the topic of the documentary, I'm glad other people have been expressing the same thoughts I had about it. I had been listening to it at work and stopped because I got tired of Geno reading the facebook and twitter posts.

As I said before, I only had a passing familiarity with Chris Chan.

I knew of Sonichu, saw some screenshots of the comics, and I heard the basic story that Chris was a guy with autism and an internet presence (not a good mix) and was basically mercilessly mocked and manipulated by trolls as he became increasingly weird and crazy.

But after, uh, recent events, I decided to jump into this online docu-series just to get the full picture of what this guy is/was all about.

I am up to Part XII and not only is it wild, but I'm amazed at how the same patterns just keep repeating. Chris is obviously someone that needed help and needed someone to regulate his internet time, and look, I'm all for trolling, but some of the stuff I've seen so far has gone into a territory that is just downright cruel. And stuff like setting up fake dates and dressing up in a pickle suit are pretty cringe to me, but hey.

Basically what I'm seeing is that we have parents that need to provide help for their clearly troubled son, a bunch of trolls with way too much time on their hands that dedicated themselves to picking on an autistic guy on the internet, and that guy with autism not learning from his mistakes, and all of those combine to form a spiral downwards into further insanity.

In the words of Paul Weller, “That’s Entertainment”. Don’t overthink it.
