Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

[PhoBingas]

Certainly it's open to interpretation, but I feel like Megan wasn't just using Chris. They shared some interests, and she seemed to genuinely enjoy playing games with him. That combined with her just being kind to the local 'tard was the foundation of their friendship.

Maybe I'm just too cynical. I can barely see anyone, let-alone a reasonably attractive woman hanging around Chris without incentive. Chris could barely handle cardgames with children without sperging out. Perhaps it was part pity, and part using him as her ebay paypig? This was in a time before Visa-enabled debit cards were a thing, and I don't think Megan had a job so she probably wouldn't be able to get a traditional credit card. I don't think she was in college either so she wouldn't have been able to get one of those 500$ limit student credit cards some banks do.

I understand your perspective, and I respect it. It's true that Chris bought her those "cute" Nazi photos online that she wanted, but I believe she reimbursed him, so it wasn't just some paypig setup.

She liked the same silly games he did, and I have to assume that you gotta put up with a lot of weirdos if those sorts of things are you jam.

And I suppose there are different types of "friendship". I don't think there's any reports that she ever visited 14BLC or they ever hung out anywhere but the Game Place, so they were more like the nerdy game shop equivalent of "work friends".

Didn't he buy Megan some DVD's and anime VHS tapes, along with 80s MLP shit too?
I suppose if they were hanging out at the same hobby shop, she probably figured it was easier to just be friendly to civil with Chris until he started being super creepy and making porn of her. I don't blame Megan in the least for cutting him loose, and if I was her, I would have washed my hands of him when he started getting touchy-feely.
Megan did never go to Chris' folks' place. I wonder if she just didn't have the time, or she was worried he might try to rape her?
