Containment Chris in the Media - Mentions of Chris in different medias

[repentance]

Why would he make a video today?

I expected him to make more to keep shilling the shirt. Maybe he's decided that nothing could possibly go wrong now that he's reached his buy now price and doesn't need to promote it any more.

...how low (Gawker / Kotaku) of a news service (New York Times) would they have to be to white wash Chris' past, make him victim-of-the-day for some championed cause, and try to track down well known trolls to make them the bad guys in their narrative? It's not impossible as there is no ethics in new delivery anymore. (Some would say there hasn't been for a very long time.)
Maybe I'm over reacting, but I have just seen way too much.
tl;dr - Just worried that some human puss filled infected wart of a journalist might try to search out people from Chris' past and reveal their identities and vilify them for cash, clicks and possible career making opportunities. Just when you think it's not possible, the worst of human nature can prove you wrong.

If you're betting on Kotaku actually doing any 'investigating' I think you're overly pessimistic or optimistic, depending on your viewpoint. They didn't 'investigate' far enough when they were writing their fluff piece to even know CWC wants to be a womyn now.

He's really only interesting to people like us.

That reporter lady that wanted to do an exposé on Chris was actually more interested in the people who follow Chris, like Marvin, when he was at the GameStop trials. She could find all the info she could ever need for an article on our CWCki but thought trolls were more interesting.

I guess because his life is a dark comedy turned tragedy. People like fluff pieces instead. The video of a squirrel that water skis will get more hits than about the greasy autistic man.

If all these sites "care" so much, why don't they hold a fundraiser for poor, poor Christine? Then they can see, firsthand, what bills he pays!

Because these bleeding hearts never pay anything but lipservice

Chris has got some mainstream mockery on Opie and Anthony. I'm pretty sure that the true story could get some mainstream interest if it was done well, focusing on Chris's most absurd moments and ignoring the boring content Chris releases most of the time.

"Autism Speaks (And It Isn't Pretty)" would be the title I'd choose.

 

[Autistic-No-Yari]

She's married to Liquid Chris? I'm livid.

That was just the act, right? From what I've read about Kacey (and seen), she's pretty much an A-log. That's why she keeps coming back with new identities to troll (She was also Jackie, I believe), because she has nothing else to do.

Yeah but they're kind of a niche show in general. Their fans are creeps in the same way that people who follow cwc are, not that there is anything wrong with that. Their fans have been exposing weirdo's and creeps since around 2002 when they got that little bit of mainstream fame on American radio.

Jackie was like two different people, neither of them Kacey. I hear lots of rumors about her but I take all of it with a good sized grain of salt.

On topic, I doubt this new media attention will go that far. None of the outlets covering Chris are well-known outside faggots on the internet. Not even Brianna Wu could force herself into relevancy through click bait and she put in way more effort than Chris.

She sounded the same to me, but you'd know better than me. And yes, that's good advice.

A niche show that featured appearances from George Carlin, Louis CK, Penn Jilette, and Ricky Gervais, among others. They were a lot more mainstream than Kotaku or Heat Street, anyway.

Still a niche show, but yes, much, much, much, much, much more popular than either of those two publications. They were actually more famous than Louis CK when he would appear on their show. They kind of made Louis who he is today by letting him appear on their platform to plug his shows and showcase his sense of humor.

 

[Blarmed&Dangerous]

In terms of the odds he was lucky I guess.

Do...do you have another definition of luck?

It is really really hard to write a Kick the Autistic piece on Chris for mainstream consumption that doesn't immediately make you look like a total shitter. A purely fact-based story would, at best, come off as somewhat creepy in the level of detail necessary to paint an accurate picture of CWC that won't get written off simply as "weird people fucking with weird people for laughs".

It is infinitely easy to write a piece that's "big mean internet bullies picking on an autistic guy who dindu nuffin but like sonic and pokemon". The key to understanding the media is that emotionally, stories appeal more than reality. Stories let us make sense of reality. Reality is cold, harsh, cruel and often inexplicable. Stories are so comfy, parents read them to kids.

I wouldn't say so. People aren't usually that sympathetic to gross, creepy manchildren who behave obnoxiously to everyone around them, even if they are autistic or otherwise exceptional. Trolls like the guy who went through the Chandlers' trash come over as pretty pathetic as well, but I don't think an honest portrayal of Chris would seem like a tale of persecution.

A balanced, mainstream, portrayal of Chris isn't going to make him look all that bad, though. He's not defrauding the government. He's not spending "mah tax dollars" on meth, crack, or even alcohol. He's not constantly hitting charities up to pay his bills. He's childish and irresponsible, but so are a lot of people who aren't speds.

Most mainstream readers will have encountered people with fewer mitigating factors who are far "worse" than Chris. The hoarding, his "trans" status and his internet notoriety are the only things likely to stand out to a lot of readers because his story just isn't that unusual without those.

To be fair, a video piece on Chris would just have to include "Niggos", the blackface, "stay straight", and the Jew Snyder incident, sprinkled with his run ins with the law, and infamous Game Stop macing incident.

Not to mention his parents denying him help, fleeing the county, hoarding, and being the black sheep of all the families involved.

It would be really, really easy to make Chris look very bad.

I'd say the Michael Snyder and Gamestop mace incidents make him look pretty bad, as does shecameforcwc.jpg.

These just make the family look like white trash in a world which is full of white trash. Barb and Bob actively denying Chris help is more likely to elicit an "if only he'd gotten early intervention..." response than anything else. The hoard is also primarily Barb's and there'd be sympathy for Chris being forced to dwell in it for decades.

Any honest, balanced, piece is going to end up with Chris looking like a sub-normal person who never had a chance given the family into which he was born. You could write a hit piece on him which makes him look extremely bad, but not without intentionally skewing the facts in that direction.

Sure, but we're talking about a balanced, mainstream piece and not a clickbait hit piece which just focuses on the shitty things Chris has done without giving a broader context.

Someone will write their thesis on Chris one day and it will make for interesting reading.

The fact remains that Chris sucks with money and no one should ever give him any. I mean, it wouldn't be biased if you just pointed out the different aspects of the Financhu Crisis. Asking for donations while claiming to be in need and then them turning around and blowing that money on not-bills wouldn't reflect well on Chris.

 

[The Lizard Queen]

They don't actually need money. They make plenty off the government, and I think they still get some kind of monthly check from Bob's previous hard work. They can scrape by with what they have, but it's not enough to buy luxuries like toys and $400 gold necklaces, which is why they're begging. Anything that these morons send to Chris at this point is just spending money for him. I doubt any of it went to "Bills" other than the tiny amount Chris sends the banks to keep them from sending him to collections.

Plus, Barb has also chosen to pay only the bare minimum of her bills, while amassing huge amounts of new debt. This is probably because she expects to die soon, and wants to live it up as much as possible before then, not caring at all about what she's going to leave behind for her retarded son.

Anyway, if you give money to Chris, you've been scammed by a retard and a nasty old woman who mocks your stupidity by openly wearing the expensive necklace your donation paid for.
