That's just not true. He was casting magic spells on Mary Lee Walsh years before any trolls found him. He was channeling Sonichu in conversations years before any trolls found him. He was convinced that Godbear had sent prophetic dreams ordering him to father Crystal Weston Chandler years before any trolls found him.
You can put a lot of blame on certain trolls for encouraging Chris to follow destructive modes of thought, but you cannot pretend that his brand of insanity was created by the trolls. Chris literally believed he had magic powers and he tried to use these magic powers against people long, long before ED discovered him.
This could be a point
@Marvin could help me out on.
My dealings were mostly with Phil/ADF. I always took any talk about his past with a grain of salt because hes an awfully unreliable narrator and i think chris is the same way. Both phil and chris are autistic and have revised a lot of events in their life to fit in with their "head canon".
Autistic children tend to speak "through" something when they need to express themselves often a sub personality or a object or toy. They dont believe that whatever the channel is "exists" its just simply a method they use to cope with stress or something they dont like dealing with. It "exists" in much the same way the emotions from inside out dont really exist but are a metaphor for a very real process.
In the case of the mary lee walsh incident this may have been Chris "channelling" sonichu to say what he wanted to say but lacked the confidence to do so himself. It was not "Chris" saying it but "confident chris" as sonichu and if he got in trouble then it was sonichu who said it not chris so by the power of autism he cant be blamed....in theory.
Or maybe it just didnt happen and chris revised the event to make it more like the comic book encounter.
Again his "attack" on mary may well have just been him using the one weapon he had "imagination" since he couldn't do something without esculating the situation.....or it just didnt happen.
Im not saying chris outright lied but he has a tendancy to bend the truth to a level of thinking that suits him, like how Synder hurled himself at the car that was totally at a stop.
The bottom line is chris is autistic and (optimistically) your not.
You understand a dream is a dream and not a god gifted vision, you understand that the voice in your head is "thought process" and not an electric hedgehog doing your thinking and giving u love tips, if you use "magic" and your target reacts you assume they are fucking with you not that your a tenth level mage.
Chris wasnt exactly a popular kid and didnt have a social circle, it was just mostly chris and Tv and :autism: so he picked up more than a few terrible ideas.
I mean come on Chris thinks Ghost hunting programmes are legit.
To pull an example from the ADF play book.
Phil makes autistic threats about murdering kiwis with RPGS and curses because its gets a reaction. He gets attention and will react so he keeps doing it. And because he has no other way of fucking with us.
Chris took away megans sailor powers because.....he literally has no power over her so he made an attention play and in head canon world he won. It was an autistic "sick burn" that Megan will never here or care about.
