Containment Random Chris Updates

[Done]

Heh, I like that Chris is active on twitter and responding to people. It's revealing topics he's tender about that probably would've gone unnoticed, like not having a job.

This is why there's no real need for w.eens. Normal conversation will show his sore spots, another example of this is when LadyofTheCosmos called him an old man, you could hear his veins popping from here.

Idiots like Hirtes on the other hand are more likely to get him to leave Twitter rather than getting him to write funny things.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

I find it interesting that he's so sore about being told to get a job. Other standard gripes he tends to dismiss with some autistic attempt at a joke, but that one really seems to bug him. Combined with the "old man" gripe and his increasing attempts to escape reality, I wonder if he's starting to realise that he's essentially failed at life. For all he's an optimist to the point of self-delusion, it can't have escaped his notice that most people his age are married, have kids, have careers and don't live with their mothers. It must be getting harder and harder to rationalise his lack of achievement.

In fact, I wonder if his following of pony actresses has ironically increased his awareness of his own failings. When he was younger, he could pretend that success was just around the corner. Now he's in regular sort-of contact with women who are much younger than him, and considerably more successful. Some of the VAs he's talking to are literally about half his age.

I don't know why he doesn't respond to people bitching about him having a job by pointing out that he's an artist. I mean, he's a shit artist, he's a lazy artist, but he does earn money doing it, so technically it is paid work.

That's a part of it. I also think it's one of the few issues he has where all of his excuses have been thoroughly debunked by his friends of all people, check out his facebook rant on the reasons he can't get a job. And his friends' replies to that.

His isolation and lack of real experience has lead him to believe that there is a grand solution that would solve all of his problem, which is having a new mom sweetheart. When in reality, it's a multi-pronged solution, each of them solving a subset of his problems.

I firmly believe that getting a job, hell, even just actively job hunting will solve %50-70 of his problems.

It is also notable to me that Chris didn't call him an outright troll.. Maybe because this user talked to him in a respectful way..

 

[PsychoNerd054]

This day in history, Chris proudly comes out of the closet. Eh, who am I kidding? Chris has done some other things with his... you know what, even this site has its limits.

Holy god. I have an elderly cat (16) that looks a lot better than Sorbet.

The 3 year old corpse of our elderly cat looks better than Sorbet.

Spoiler: not a joke

My brother is an exceptional individual and refused to just bury it, now it lurks in the basement in a glass container like Lenin's Tomb, and he won't let anyone touch it)

Would getting a job really solve his issues?

I've read of plenty of people on the internet who live off SSI/SSDI without huge problems. The key thing is frugality since even if you're getting both you're still poor. Most people on Autismbux aren't lolcows and manage to live quietly it's just they tend be much quieter than the typical lolcow about it because they don't really like drawing huge amounts of attention to themselves.

Most of Chris's problems stem from his ego, his spending habits, his inability to listen to people, his childishness, inability to learn from mistakes, anger issues, laziness, delusionality, and shamelessness. Getting a job wouldn't fix these issues and most of these issues are traits that actually prevent him from maintaining employment. He's inevitably going to get fired from anywhere he manages to get hired without some serious adjustments to his personality which would require significant work from someone else or intentional self improvement on his part. It's very unlikely Chris is going to do it on his own without possibly some serious life change happening that causes him to step back and examine things, but given his apparent inability at self reflection and not learning from his mistakes even what would be a life changing event for most people might not do anything for him sadly.

Ideally he would have a good therapist that he would actually listen to that could help him work through his issues and improve, but he's not going to a therapist due to distrusting the mental health profession and he wouldn't take anything in if forced to go.

He could lead a reasonable, if frugal, life without the trolls, except weens I guess who will probably hound him for the rest of his days, if he just learned to be quieter, less egotistical, and draw less attention to himself and didn't spend so much. He'd still probably be a weirdo though and kind of an idiot. Given the fact that he has no way to pay off the current house he lives in when Barb dies the best thing he could do is move into a group home or a cheap apartment. Chris may qualify for Section 8 housing. Given his problems with managing money properly, having a payee to manage his tugboat would help him greatly.

 

[m0rnutz]

That's.....huh. I'll give that one to Chris, I guess, that one was actually clever, especially coming from someone like him.

You'd think that'll be an easy excuse for him to use than to act like society as wronged him.

There's certainly a lot of options there if only he would listen.

A job is more than just money for services rendered (Which he desperately needs right now), it will solve a lot of issues for him:

- Self-Esteem: Yes, despite his ginormous ego, he has clear self-esteem issues from seeing all of his past classmates go on to bigger & better things, while he is still essentially living the same life. This is an old video, but you can clearly see his freudian slip there. He knows his life is out of whack, and with the free time he has, he clearly ruminates on it. This is partly why he would come up unprompted with stuff like 'I learned my lessons..etc", because he NEEDS his past 8-9 years or so to count for something other than him being publicly humiliated on the internet. A job will at least give him a sense of purpose he hugely lacks and something to wake up for. Even if it is stacking shelves at a Wal-Mart or something.

- Building Common Sense: This will likely be our biggest point of agreement, Chris is the opposite of common sense, this is because he doesn't interact with people past arms-length transactions like buying fast food or toys. If he gets a job, he will have to deal with customers, coworkers, managers. He will be able to get good advice on things like relationships, good uses of money etc.

- Making Friends: Chris is incredibly lonely, he may have friends that are willing to tolerate him for the length of a movie or something or are willing to be with him @ Pokemon club, but he has no real friends, the kind that check on you when you've been gone too long, the kind you can call for a cup of coffee at a moments' notice. This is why you see him trying to make friends with celebs, he is not creeping on them, he is merely trying to make friends like a dog is chasing random cars. Of course being Chris, he set the standard of potential friend way too high, as he did with other things during his life.

- Hygiene: Any company that will let him join them will certainly insist on him being clean and not looking/smelling like a hobo. Of course I realize that's half the reason he won't try for a job in the 1st place..

I realize this doesn't entirely solve his incredible array of issues, but it should enable him to be functional at least while working on the rest.

Getting a job could certainly fix some problems if Chris was willing to listen to people and change, but that's the issue, he's shown repeatedly that he's stubborn, doesn't listen, and egotistical.

The first thing he would need is someone to write his resume or fill out the job application for him or otherwise convince Chris not to mention Sonichu or Honest Content, because chances are high that if he does it himself he's going to shoehorn in Sonichu or something like how he's a lesbian tomgirl. Any employer who looks up Sonichu, and subsequently Chris's internet history, is immediately going to pass over Chris.

Assuming he gets past the application stage, he would have to be trained a bit by someone else on how to behave during a job interview. This means not mentioning Sonichu or dressing with the fashion of a teenage girl. Again, this is going to be difficult for Chris.

Assuming he gets hired and goes through the initial training he now has to bathe regularly (not cover up with body spray), not creep on his female coworkers, not whine, complain, or quit when he has to be on his feet eight hours a day, not have fits of anger or stress, actually wear whatever uniform he's assigned and keep it clean which means no Sonichu Medallion, actually listen to his boss, not bring up Honest Content to coworkers or customers, and show up on time to work.

I don't deny that a job could help in some areas, but the issue is that someone is going to have to hold his hand and watch him the entire time to make it work unless Chris has some serious training and changes beforehand. Someone would have to be willing to do all this and given Chris's behavior he's not going to trust anyone or he'll creep on them if they're young and female. Chris either has to seriously reflect and be willing to improve or someone has to be prepared to perform a lot of work to get him to improve.

This is why I think it would be much easier if he would just learned not to draw so much attention to himself, live more frugally, be less egotistical, and live quieter. It would still require some work, but much less than the significant curing of his many mental and personality flaws. He still be weird regardless. Still, this would likely require someone work with him. It's entirely possible for people to live off disability and welfare if they manage their money properly. If Chris would bother to access them and behave himself he could certainly use the plethora of social resources for autistics.

 

[Slowinthemind]

All this talk about Chris is pointless and has been discussed to death here, he is unemployable because he does not want a job and is resentful of authority figures.

Keep in mind that there are probably programs out there that find jobs for the disabled, but those too require effort in terms of finding said programs, and sticking to their supplied plans to find a job (Do the interviews they tell you to do, take courses..etc.).

When you put it like that, he really is unfixable..

A funny thing that just happened is, I just googled "Chris Chandler" and the 1st CWCki result was about 5 results down. And given that I just discovered him a few months ago, my recent search/browser history is filled with CWC-related stuff.. Which may mean that his search history can be somewhat evaded if he just writes Chris(tian/tine) Chandler on his resume.

Well, there is vocational rehab, but knowing Chris he would not make voluntary use of it and would still make an ass/idiot of himself.

If he really wanted to detach himself from his previous internet antics, he'd change his name to something that isn't Christine/Christian Weston Chandler and never mention his old name, Sonichu, or internet infamy, but this isn't going to happen because Chris is shameless, feels the need to bring up things about himself most people don't care about or would be disturbed by, and he's too egotistical to just wash his hands of his past and move on because for him all these things are important and people should know about them and who he is.

I have a theory, which can not be proven. I think that Chris' friends have lost their sheen, I think they're still his friends, but he's not getting enough stimuli from them, which has driven him back to Sonichu and straight into Jesse's ever-loving clutches.

Story of Chris' life. Old man chases cool kids, cool kids back up and hit him with their parent's escalade.

He'll probably try to sign on at HOOTERS to wear skimpy clothes and blend in with the rest of the attractive women. They have to have a delicious dykes ONLY section....amiright? Why wouldn't segregation of the sexes exist in such a high-class establishment?

People like Watermelon or Anna were never friends to Chris, the 1st (possibly) gave him a box of Ramen when his house burned down , and the latter for all her virtue signalling went AWOL and was outshone as a friend by the Farms of all people.

Of course Kengle is still trying, and still being mostly ignored.

Jessica is different in that she pounced on him while he was feeling his lowest, her intentions remain unknown IMO. But definitely it ain't to help him.

Funnily enough he nearly hit one of the manajerks with his car too.. So it's the cycle of life.

Never been to Hooters, but I'd imagine he is the antithesis of that place. Of course if he does try for a job there it would be only because he thinks they give out boob jobs for free.

Chris has friends with whom he'll spend time with at their homes. Not in a group setting, but just one-on-one, or maybe two or three people. They contact him once in awhile.

Spoiler: tl; dr, standard spiel

I encourage people to keep in mind that the cwcki is not a neutral observer when it comes to documenting Chris' bullshit. We emphasize or caricature some aspects of his life simply because they're funny, not necessarily because it paints a more accurate picture of Chris.

Additionally, we do not stalk Chris in his daily life. You should always assume that there's a big iceberg of Chris' daily life (like spending time with friends), that we don't see and we don't hear about. He doesn't literally spend all of his time at 14BC with Barb and the dogs.

Chris generally needs a specific reason to post something online. He doesn't document his social life online, for some intentional reasons and unintentional reasons. (For example, intentional reason: his friends will get harassed by weens. Unintentional reason: he's simply not interested in bragging about having friends IRL.)

Basically, assume that all the hilarity you read about on the cwcki is not actually how things are from a realistic standpoint. Chris is more boring than you think IRL. Though the flip side, that Chris has a bunch of friends and a constant, exciting social life isn't true either. The reality is much more mundane: he's got a few friends. Not many and he's still pretty lonely. But his social calendar is pretty lively compared to what the cwcki would have you believe.

And I love the cwcki, don't get me wrong. I run it. But it's not a realistic look at Chris.

This is why you see him trying to make friends with celebs, he is not creeping on them, he is merely trying to make friends like a dog is chasing random cars.

I have a theory, which can not be proven. I think that Chris' friends have lost their sheen, I think they're still his friends, but he's not getting enough stimuli from them, which has driven him back to Sonichu and straight into Jesse's ever-loving clutches.

Well, he'll always seize on a girlfriend if he thinks is a guaranteed thing, like Jessica.

Though I can see him wanting more excitement. I don't know, I bet Chris probably expects like, sitcom type shit from his social circle. Like I think he expects to be able to slide into his friends' apartments without warning like Kramer from Seinfeld. Heh, I bet Chris almost gets let down when he struts into Impulse and there's no laugh track.

He still signs up for every event, like this pony movie or nerd event, and goes. But I think he's still looking for his sitcom friendships. Well, and his sweetheart.

Oh, and the other possibility, instead of growing bored of his social circle: he could simply be trying to fill time. No matter how many friends he has, they still have real lives, with jobs and classes to go to. So Chris is stuck at home all day and he needs to pass the time, so he tries to make e-friends to pass that time.

So maybe he sits around all day, kengling at girls until the clock strikes five, and then rushes off to gay bowling or whatever he's doing that day.

Maybe it's a bit of both.

I think one thing that works against Chris might just be his 'biological clock', as he calls it. Chris tends to have an exceedingly sporadic sleep schedule and can often be seen up and about at any hour. His lethargic lifestyle usually leaves him tired more often than not and I'd bet the only time he even considers setting an alarm or trying to maintain a schedule is when he actually has to accomplish something. I don't doubt that during the con he was getting very little sleep while once he got back home he probably helped himself to a day long nap.

I agree but that does not mean Chris is actually happy with the interaction given how he acts on twitter, he could want more. Like, Chris could go away from his friends wishing the party would never end (bronycon), so he seeks to supplement it with stuff like twitter, Doopie, Jessica, gay events, and Sonichu.
I also think that Chris always bringing up his thirst for normal friends has driven him to seek them out, like some of his friends are normal, but I am sure Chris wants shinier Melrose Place type friends. I bet Chris thinks there are cool people out there besides his own friends who, waste their time playing with ponies just like him and his hodgepodge of collective nobodies. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to join a Lamaze class to further experience the joys of motherhood and make friends on that basis, in preparation of the commening of Crystal.

 

[MasterDisaster]

waste their time playing with ponies

That's one thing I wish Chris would catch onto. Full grown adult women do not stay at home all day playing with little plastic ponies. He's brought it up into conversations, referencing episodes like everyone knows exactly what he's talking about. Most VA's do not follow their own work religiously. It's a paycheck, not a way of life.

We've seen photos of him interacting with people, but I highly doubt he has any friends IRL he interacts with on a regular basis outside of special events like cons. The simple fact is if he did have friends he interacted with regularly he probably wouldn't be so awkward and socially odd. If he had friends that he interacted with on a regular basis he'd probably be bathing and changing his clothes more because no one is going to want to be around someone who never bathes and wears the same clothes for days on end. My point is, that if he had any friends to interact with regularly he wouldn't be as bad as he is.

I also find it hard to believe that there are that many people that could stand to be around Chris for extended periods of time given his behavior.
