FB 1/8 - Chris hates Sega for forcing him to attack somebody

I wonder how many people who saw this news-clip twenty-odd years ago suspected that the cute little boy in it would end up committing felony assaults over Sonic?
On /cow/ they pointed out it's the same mall where both things happened.

(They were trying to confirm if it's also the same location within the mall but it's difficult because that toy store is no longer there under that name at least.)

CWC is almost like a grotesque, modern Rip Van Winkle -- asleep in his childhood-universe of the early-Nineties for two decades, and now thrust into 2014/15 as some bizarre man-child violently protesting what happened to his cartoon hero.

It only takes him a few hours to master one form of crime...and move on to another!

Seriously, I was having a bad day until I read this. I cannot overstate how hard I laughed when I saw that.

If you mean the post of that news story, I'm glad to hear it. I couldn't help but think of the contrast between that innocent "high-functioning autistic" child in the mall store, and the grotesque, violent buffoon that inflicted himself on the GameStop twenty years later, so I had to post it.
 
Y'all should know me by now said:
...force me to be attacked, having to defend myself, and forcing me to stay a weekend in jail!
I knew Chris thinks he was just defending himself in the Gamestop, but reading that still made me cringe.
"Force me to be attacked" doesn't even make sense. I know what information he is trying to convey, but it's still fucking stupid.
It forced him to be the victim of the GS-employee's booming voice of doom enforcing a more than justified ban?

I actually meant the post Chris made, but your post helped quite a bit too. It is quite a fascinating contrast. Like Cormac McCarthy's Child of God. Except, you know, autistic.

Blame! Christian! Blame Sega and Hate to the EXTREME.
 
Chris sure is mad about spending a full weekend in jail.

I wonder what his reaction will be when he finds out he's facing 1-5 years...

That's the potential sentence, but realistically, I don't think he'll end up doing more than a few months in County. Still, I can't even guess what he'll do when the gavel comes down, and Shit Finally Gets Real.
 
I'd respond with some generic disapproval, but after everything that's happened in the last couple of weeks, I can't quite bring myself to get angry about it anymore.

Rather, I just really don't understand the rationalisation he's woven. "Forced me to be attacked"? IDEK.

Even knowing how incredibly self-serving his logic is, I have difficulty believing he truly believes any of this. That an outside power was responsible for him deciding to evade yet another ban, then somehow walk away from pepperspraying a man who was making no move towards him, believing that HE was the one who was attacked. It's surreal.

I totally agree.
It was always a stupid move to get angry at anything Chris did, at worst I got mildly annoyed at him doing/saying something stupid but even that is gone now. There is no feeling of "this isn't funny anymore" or "this is so stupid it's becoming funny again".

I just sit here, staring baffled at my screen, watching the madness unfold wondering about the reasons and the nature of this almost psychotic hatred of blärms. And with Chris, you just know at the very core of this issue is only more lunacy waiting to burst its way out.

Is it wishful thinking that this could convince Chris to revive Sonichu? "Sonichu and Chris-chan vs. SEGA and the Blue-Armed Bandit!"
To Chris, the comics were a means to act out his wish-fulfilment and his power fantasies. He no longer bothers with that, since he is now doing the same with Lego, which has the two advantgaes that a) it's a lot less work and b) it's basically just him playing with lego.

I don't doubt for a second the Sonichu-canon (if you can call it that) survives to this very day with ongoing 'Episodes'.

Well, if that's not a great thought for a cold winter night:
Chris, aged 32, sitting in his room in the rental, talking to his imaginative friends from CWCville, telling them how he fights the good fight against the blue armed bandit while holding crude crayola model magic/lego figure frankensteins in his hands...
 
That's the potential sentence, but realistically, I don't think he'll end up doing more than a few months in County. Still, I can't even guess what he'll do when the gavel comes down, and Shit Finally Gets Real.

If I had to bet my actual cold hard C-Quarters on it, My money would go to Chris getting community service in a way he can't fake it. It's a likely step between "Is this guy seriously dangerous?" and "Okay, we can't let him back out just yet". A sentence that's a real consequence that can't be ignored while not actually ruining the life of the autistic lesbian soul it's assigned to.

It's when Chris decides to pepper spray someone during his community service that things will get... CWCvilley.
