Did he actually believe it since he was a kid? I feel like he picked it up from South Park when he saw Optimus Prime and other heroes from when he was a kid existing for real in an alternate dimension. That was 2007ish.
Nah man. It goes waaay further back than that.
Probably to 1988 and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.
*Chris would have been around 6 years old, so smack in the middle of the most important formative years.
*This was also pre-speech Chris if Im not mistaken. So he had no one to talk to, about the big impression the movie had made on him.
*Chris has mentioned WFRR to Liquid Chris (I think) amongst others as an example of what he believes.
*It plays right along with the other great personal hero he has: American Rabbit.
Chris has probably also watched a bunch of quack documentaries on YouTube and TV about parallel dimensions and the Many Worlds interpretation of Quantum Theory.
Add that on top of whatever autistic ideas Chris formed on the basis of WFRR, and you get to current day Chris.
I recall the time someone gave him the brilliant suggestion of selling merch at a convention, and he snapped that he'd be unable to walk around and experience the Con. His level of unwillingness to accept change is peak tard.
Unwillingness to change anything and... Laziness.
I recall a time Chris literally sharted his DIRTY CRAPPED BRIEFS, when talking to Kaycee or Jackie about getting a job.
His laziness is so monumental that I wouldn’t be surprised if he literally feels physical revulsion at the thought of getting a job.
Anything even remotely close to gainful employment: Such as drawing comics for money or selling CWC souvenirs at a convention, is an instant turnoff for Chris.
(Shit, Chris has probably spent hundreds of hours drawing his comics. But the moment it turned into something that vaguely could be interpreted as work, he quit and didn’t make a comic for years.)
