rocket said:Thetan said:Also, as far as I know, when the picture was originally uploaded, there wasn't even a name associated with it. It was just J. Random Oddball guy. It wasn't until Chris started his Internet whine fest that people learned the identity of the person in the photo. As I said in a different thread, and others have said, Chris brought this all on himself. He should have just left well enough alone. I can't even find the original Something Awful article about him. The majority of the events that we have come to know as 'Christory' would have ever happened if Chris had treated the matter of the picture as any reasonable adult would have; and ignored it.
if memory serves (and it might not) SA and /v/ had threads devoted to sonichu before mimms popped in with the pic
Chris just blames the pic because he's a doofus
He blames the pic because it's the earliest incident he can connect to the trolls. In Chris's head, since the picture predates the ED page by a week or so, it must have caused the ED page to exist. He's completely unaware that someone on SA posted a link to the old Sonichu site, causing it to become common knowledge on SA and 4chan. That resulted in /v/ clamoring for IRL information, which led to the photograph and later Chris demanding that /v/ make him heterosexual Sonichu porn as an "apology" for sending him offensive fanart, which led to the ED page.
