I largely agree with this, but I always get snagged on the Lars call. The anger from people like Megan or Kacey's dad towards Chris was justified, but Chris doesn't respond to criticism, so it amounted to these people just venting at him. If you call Pokémon childish, Chris digs his heels in and says he's young at heart and points to all the normal adults playing vidya and imagines he's like them.View attachment 4612110
These are the 8 phases of Chris's life so far. At what point was Chris unsalvageable and fucked beyond repair? I could see people making arguments for each one. Some people would say he was fucked at birth but I think Chris as a baby and child could have become fairly normal with proper parenting. Teenager Chris already developed a lot of his bad habits and would have been harder to fix but could have likely been taught to develop a work ethic and work simple jobs. By the time he became a manchild it was highly unlikely but there would have still been a tiny 0.01% chance sliver of hope if he was thrown straight into the fire and forced to adapt as a functioning human or at the very least learn how to budget his tugboat to remain in the status quo as a loveable idiot.
For these reasons I feel like the tomgirl era is when Chris could no longer be fixed. Most of us just figured Chris would remain the striped shirt manchild he always was and live on with his tugboat as a leach on society. It wasn't an ideal life but he could have probably made it work. Once he started shoving tampons up his ass and cutting open his taint with a knife it sadly became clear that Chris would end up being a abhorrent freakshow that dies in his mid to late 50s. After this point he became more and more delusional (or true to himself if you believe Chris would have fucked his mom regardless of trooning out) and it started a snowball effect that eventually led Chris to where he is now.
Then Lars tries to level with him and relate to hoarding and over-attachment to belongings, without criticising Chris at all, and even that he just dismisses because it's not praise and vindication and ass-kissing. Women say, "I'll love you forever if you just do this one thing for me, just make spaghetti or clean your room or draw a comic page each day," and somehow he slithers right under that low bar, too.
In the ED days, I had my laughs at Sonichu but moved on quickly because I thought the trolling was too mean-spirited, like what did this guy do wrong besides be a freak, and won't he shut up if we stop listening to him? But how quickly I was proven wrong, and how very wrong I was.
