That's why I think it's valuable. Any new info? Not really. But seeing him interact someone he supposedly knew was interesting.
Well, it certainly presented Chris with an unenviable conundrum. Sav-Chan was either a troll or she wasn't. Now, this wouldn't be the same kind of situation as with an online sweetbolt. If a girl who was into Chris turned out to be a troll, well then, sob-sob-remorse-remorse, move on; there must be millions of women on the Internet who want a piece of the Chan-man.
But by 2012, Chris had hit a particularly difficult time in is life. His dad was gone, his mother was ineffective in doing anything for him, had instead began to seem like a burden to him, and the legal system finally had had enough of his crap and put it's foot down right on top of him. Chris had been soundly beaten, and began to bleat about his family not caring about him and his mother on facebook. Chris never significantly wrote about his family before; is conceivable that he had felt abandoned.
Enter Savannah. Now, just like with his e-girls, Chris had a choice: troll or not. Here lay the conundrum. Chris had a choice of accepting that this was Savannah, or dismissing her outright as a troll. You could almost see why he ultimately gave up his attempts to verify her ID. If he accepted her friendship and communicated with her, then yeah, there was the risk of getting trolled, but
maybe it might be her. The alternative - calling her a troll right away - would mean that Chris would have to accept that his family wanted nothing to do with him.
