It actually took almost three pages before the thread completely degenerated into Transformers sperging. Congratulations everyone.

Never stop being a hypocrite, Chris!

Chris is just sperging because his day at pride probably did not go as expected with lesbians just dropping their panties every time he walked by.
Just like the medallion from last year, I am sure that the gays steered clear of Chris after he tried to show off his plastic ponies holding hands to true and honest lesbians.
"That's me, Christine Weston Chandler, tribber of dykes right there, and that's you‐ the woman that is going to take me home to your beautiful mansion and support me financhully forever and be my mommy.

Speaking of Chris and his probably less than agreeable pride experience, is he still horrified of naked chested men? If so, a Pride parade may not be the right place for him.
But you're right, it's an odd timing to start this transformers rant right after Pride. You'd figure he'd comment on his lesbian encounters instead.

This thing with the ponies is perhaps even creepier than the medallion. The Sonichu medallion was goofy but seemed more of a crutch than anything else. The pony dolls, however, and the way he projects himself on them shows a regression. It's as if he is retreating into childhood. The way he identifies with the pony doll is just not normal.

*Transformers sperg mode ACTIVATE!*

Transformers as it was first invented is 100% an American created franchise. Back in 1983, what would become the original 1984 G1 toys were actually two separate lines; Diaclone which were piloted car robots with little drivers (and not sentient, hence why G1 Ironhide/Ratchet infamously have chairs instead of heads), and Microchange which were mainly inanimate objects that turned into 1:1 scale robots (basically Soundwave and his tape goons). Hasbro reps who had gone to Japan negotiated a licencing deal with Takara to sell the two lines in America.

But when they consulted an advertising company - the same one that actually came up with the GI JOE franchise - the company's CEO was the one who came up with the idea of combining the separate lines into a single line pitting only the robots in a battle of good and evil, copying the individual characterization aspect for each toy that made GI JOE so successful. The G1 Autobot and Deception symbols are in fact stylized profile shots of the G1 Prowl and G1 Soundwave toys.

Takara also tried just releasing Diaclone in the west by themselves, but quickly abandoned it in favor of bringing over Transformers to Japan, with numerous changes (Autobots and Decepticons became 'Cybertrons' and 'Destrons', Optimus Prime' was a name thought too hard for Japanese kids to pronounce so he's just "Convoy", etc.).

I'm sure to get Autism ratings for this, but I'll try to descipher what he's blabbing about to the best of my knowledge in this subject.

Now...Chris is wrong about a number of things here.

Primarily, the bit about how the 'Japanese' versions having more features, because all of those gimmick figures (the *masters, in head(duh), target (gun), and power(engine) variants) did get American releases. And while he's trying to draw comparisons to how the headmaster gimmick is the main gimmick of the current Titans Return line, he fails to do his research as the original Headmasters only had the gimmick extend to merely swapping heads to make some spring loaded bars in the chests move differently. The modern figures do not have that gimmick (Hasbro actually tried to modernize it a few years back, execution was not stellar so they abandoned it), so the head swapping was turned into the actual play pattern of Titans Return - it is very much sorta like Pokemon in the idea having more only increases the fun you can have, between the body headswapping, the smaller figures having convertible gun vehicles (to sell the heads at a smaller price point because the heads on their own actually don't do shit), and the Leader classes feature elaborate base modes to put the army of 'Titanmasters" or so the little figures are called all around.

He's also amusingly ignorant of the major difference between Hasbro and Takara versions of toys for at least the past decade. Here is a comparison of the heads of Hardhead (top row) and Skullcruncher (bottom), the companies already denoted on the left and right - though I should note these are the Takara Prototypes and the Hasbro final production samples, hence the color mismatch.

Yes, Takara's faces - which amount to a single part change on the heads, the rest of the toy is identical in either example - are more cartoon accurate, but Hasbro's Hardhead is toy accurate, while their Skullcruncher is a super-stylized version of the original toy head as well.

Why Chris even gives a shit about this is beyond me, though, because beyond the animated commercials I highly doubt Chris would have even SEEN the Headmasters cartoon the Takara faces are from. Because it didn't get mass western syndication and if I'm right, Chris was only age 5 in 1987 when the Headmasters came out in the first place to shelves. Is this his autism acting up again, where the same guy has two different faces and he's simply taking what he finds online to be the truth (since everywhere of relevance would state the Takara version is the cartoon accurate faces)? The same situation as 'blue arms' Sonic being impossible to comprehend as simply a different look for the same character? Because the only way I understand Chris thinking this is confusing is if the two faces can not simultaneously be 'correct' for different reasons.

Man, I was just gonna say the answer is "Shut up." :c
 
I'm glad someone already massively sperged out about Transformers so I didn't have to. The thing Chris doesn't seem to know about Japanese transformers is that Takara's toys are different because Japanese collectors (Or at least Takara itself) are obsessed with having everything as faithful to the old cartoon shows as possible. And while Hasbro's versions might seem inferior by comparison, they're usually cheaper, as the improvements Takara makes tend to inflate the price, sometimes drastically.

Hasbro's are cheaper so they can sell them to actual children though.
 
Being an autistic retod sucks, being an autistic retod with lots of transformers and lego shit sucks less.
- the day after the coroner comes to clean out the crypt and a bunch of county social workers and tard wranglers come to wisk him away to some facility as the bank and debt collectors walk up inspecting the house, saying, its ok, its ok, theres pokemon there. The day before and weeks leading up Chris just playswith toys, ordering shit and customizing some baby game level as his mother corpse rotswith flies.

It doesn't count as sperging because they all said 'I'm sure I'll get rated autistic, but' to preface their Transformers sperging
 
A few years ago I read this big biography of Michael Jackson by a journalist who was close to him and did a lot of interviews with him in his teens and 20s. He said "he didn't miss his childhood. He just misses it". I think the same is true for Chris. And now I think of it, Chris and MJ both took on unusual female-looking image changes.
 
Also..If Chris failed at Pride and is retreating into toys..that fits what I know..my autistic friend who I was complaining about before...if he has a bad date or gets turned down or something, he retreats into Star Trek.
 
I concur with the people who commented that this is probably the most intelligent post Chris has ever put up on social media, but it's tainted by still sperging about Trans-bore-mores.

Chris, try to recognize that maybe you should focus on more important things before your mom transforms into a coffin and you transform into a homeless tramp that gets his tongue stuck to random garbage trucks.

Unless science develops a way for people to shart out their autism, ain't no way that's happening, brother.
