For those of you who voted Yes in the poll, what would it take for Chris to sour your memories?
Something that would Psychologically have to relate to the past. I already have tried watching clips on youtube of Classic Chris content and it only seems weird now in regards to his parents showing up (The Christmas 2004 video is going to be hard to watch now). However Troon Chris is different than Classic Chris in my mind or even "Goddess Chris". I could probably still watch "Don't Call anyone!" and laugh.
For Chris to be completely soured it would have to be something extreme like kidnapping Megan to try bring Crystal into this world so the Dimension merge happens. Something that is so horrific that you can tie directly to those old memories and would lead up to now. Something that is completely out of his power to do.
I wish someone less apathetic than me would create a timeline showing how and when Chris switched from older women being unacceptable to dismissing getting together with a cute-ish girl who was actually trying in favor of continuing with Barb. He used to be so adamant about finding a boyfriend-free girl 18-(current age), and he seemed to be okay with following the "dumb laws". Over the years obviously so many things changed, and in hindsight you can see this coming from those random comments about Barb, but reading classic era Chris stuff you feel like he would've vomited at the idea of banging an 80-year-old even if they weren't related.
I can offer a decent explanation, Chris had to settle. Normally when you're younger, you have a romanticized and idealized version of the person or the type of person you want to be with. You have an idealized version of love. Originally Chris wanted a girlfriend because it was supposed to happen. Then when that didn't happen, the love quest began to complete this life quest. From there a timeline can be set as such:
- Failing to win Megan's heart.
This was the first time the cartoon version of reality failed. She was his best friend, had the same interests, spent a lot of time with him in their free time, and they worked on stuff together. In all storybooks she would be the natural choice but this failed in every possible way. So he then branched out to a non-fairy tale approach but still idealized form of it in impressing women with his talent and nothing else.
- Gal-Pal Sagas
Primarily Ivy and Kacey. With Blanca, Julie and Emily, Chris still believed in fairy tale shit but they weren't as natural as Megan and not much a shift in focus, more a transitionary period. Ivy and Kacey he attempted to win over with Sonichu and he believed it was succeeding. He told Clyde Cash after the Hooker Incident that it wasn't about sex but about love. Regardless of his actions, he believed he could get a girlfriend and maintain a relationship. His complete failure at improving himself slightly at their behest and pissing them off, realized he wasn't good at this. So he moved on to the next portion
- Slut Era
This starts with the first exile (or jackie I can't remember which started earlier). This is a period of time where Chris became obsessed with the concept of being a piece of meat as a means to entice women, with his overt sexual t-shirts, videos and attitudes. Granted he did it in a feminine way and put zero effort in actually looking attractive but he figured if he couldn't cut it as a good boyfriend, he could at least be a walking sex toy with "a LOT of hidden potential". This marks the beginning of the decline. He no longer looked at relationships like a human anymore, and aside from sexualizing himself, began to do things like freezing his own semen. This went on until around 2015. He began to be socialized more, rediscovered and reinvented himself, attend conventions and meet people with similar interests. This then transition into a bit of a reform in his thinking for a brief period.
- Loveless dating attempts
With his sex drive gone down due to age and HRT, losing his virginity and his socialization going up, it seemed like he might have been learning a bit. He then made the disastrous attempt at going after Doopie and then later "dating" Quinn. These were less lust or romantically driven though there were some elements of both in them, they weren't the main focus. Chris liked Doopie because he thought she was pretty, thought she drew porn because she was obsessed with it like him, and was part of a project he liked. So he thought he had a chance, but that failed and he flipped out. Then he thought "fuck it, I'll date Quinn, I know her well enough." and dated her but he didn't really care, he more so stroked his own ego for "predicting Lovely Weather" and not ending up single. He thought all the socializing meant that he should find success from going after women in his circles but it was all for naught. Then came.
- The Idea Guys
Nothing much to say here other than they convinced him to date his imaginary characters who could never say no and never reject him. Walling his heart from rejection. At this point I think he had given up on female affection as his grasp of reality started to collapse. I think he would have had a chance to maybe date a starfucker since he was gaining some popularity/notoriety at conventions and whatnot. COVID also fucked him over since that stuff started picking up in 2019 but by then he had long checked out. Nothing had meaning anymore, this world is fake and a better world in another Dimension existed where he was king with a harem. It has to be true right? Jacking it to your imaginary characters sufficed right?
- Big Dumb Ending
So here we are at the big dumb ending, of not only my post but Chris' love life. Driven by a nihilist view of this current reality lacking meaning, following what his heart says, consent being the only thing that could stop any lust that remains, a vulnerable old woman laid in his house. A vulnerable old woman in his care that can't say no. It longed stop being about love, it now was energy that needed to be released, not to fictional characters, plastic or silicon but to a person. His descent into depravity wasn't a choice made by desperation, ego, companionship or acceptance but of a cold almost insect like desire to breed. He was Ying and needed to deposit into a Yang that could consent as that was the laws of his mental universe now. I don't believe he even saw her as a person, just a lump of flesh that had a vagina.
My Conclusion and why I decided to write this autistic effort post is that this whole situation is fucked up and I've seen a lot of people trying to understand why, myself included. Some claiming the signs were "all there" or "he was always this way" but I think he became this way do to life. This ending wasn't set in stone and I don't blame the trolls because they offered him equal opportunities as torments. Had he changed himself to be Boyfriend Material, he might have had a shot. If he changed himself to be a himbo for women and focused entirely on his body and appearance, acted semi-masculine, some girl may have had him as a side piece. After having been re-socialized a bit, if he took a mature approach to dating, and grew up a bit, he couldhave avoided the idea guy shit, cleaned himself up and dated a fangirl, striped polo and all. He didn't though, he failed and retreated into the darkest recesses of his mind. All the people I mentioned above or situations were all tests that he failed to learn from.
I think when you look over Chris' attempt at a lovelife, you can see a change in mindset and how Love Quest turned to Fuck Quest which turned to just Fuck. It didn't have to end this way, this is the ending Chris chose.
