Good point! Would he prefer being left in peace, or does he truly ENJOY the state of celebrity he's been in, and would totally hate it if the attention went away?
Kiwifarms is one of the weirdest forums I've ever seen, because of all the attention given to Chris. No one is talking about themselves, or supporting each other. Instead, they're all talking about this one guy. And this person isn't even a true celebrity, he's just a troubled weirdo who does bizarre things and invites gossip and armchair psychology. Many are his bullies and trash-talkers, while others act like they're his actual, concerned friends.
It's SO weird, and for the last month I've seen enough of Chris' videos and read enough of his life story to be so freaking worried about him now. (What's up with that?) Maybe for some of us here, we can't be only concerned with our family and friends, we have to go poke our noses in strangers' business, too. I'm guessing a lot of Kiwifarms members are interested in psychology, social work or into the helping professions? (I've always been).
Or maybe it's just that Chris is simply today's version of one of the freaks and oddities of the Barnum and Bailey Circus a century ago?
