Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

[Ron_Swanson]

Considering how it's said he drives, yeah I'm surprised he survived driving a highway. Wonder if he drove it at 20mph the whole way

I do have a question for the thread. What are your opinions on the Ohio trip? Do you think it was dangerous? Do you think it was good for him?

Any "good" it did him was trivial. That a long drive is "getting out of his comfort zone" only reflects how messed up and isolated Chris is.

Has anyone tried making FOIA request for Chris(tine)'s PVCC records that might be public info?

Ignoring the ethics of making somebody go on a long drive to see somebody who didn't exist I don't think it was particularly dangerous for Chris to go on a long drive. There's a tiny chance the neighbourhood he visited was rough but all he did was called at the house, realised it wasn't the right one and went home. He hasn't done much driving outside of Virginia and definitely not by himself so that taste of independence definitely wouldn't cause him any harm. The fact Chris refers to the incident years after as a sign he does have elements of independence shows that Chris thinks the same way too.

Was it the Golden Knight who wrote about a roadtrip into the "hood" and how freaked out he was and his thrill at finally being on a street he recognized again? Shame Chris was never into writing verbose accounts of his 'epics'

Why go through all that effort when we can dig through his trash?

It may've been slightly good for him. Hard to tell in the grand scheme of things. I don't think it was too dangerous. The big danger was that he might've gotten stranded somewhere. (He almost did.)

To me, the big significance of the Ohio trip was that it was one of the only balsy things Chris has ever done. Like, a favorite compliance tactic Barb likes to use on Chris is to threaten to kick him out. So Chris was knowingly disobeying his parents and risking homelessness to rescue Julie. He drove several states over, got locked out of his car halfway there, but managed to recover from that and make it to his destination. And even when no Julie was there, and he got home, his response to Clyde was extremely reserved.

It was one of the few things Chris has done that has ever impressed me.

What else has CWC done to impress you?

Now that I think about it... nothing else.

I mean, Chris does lots of non-retarded things that are cool, but they don't get much from me other than a thumbs up.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

I think the reason behind Chris' gender stereotyping is as simple as this: cartoons. All day long, cartoons. And what are cartoons? Wikipedia, "...non-realistic or semi-realistic...intended for satire, caricature, or humor,"

The computer, vidya, and television are Chris' only window to the outside world.

I think it's also his difficulty with abstract concepts and theory of mind, which I think is also why he's fond of conspiracy theories and can't view us as anything other than malicious trolls. It's easier for him to come up with a broad stereotype (particularly one that allows him to feel superior) than it is to wrap his head around the idea that these groups are made up of individuals with their own lives.

I wonder if he might come around on the misandry thing, just by talking to enough men. He changed his mind on homosexuality once he started exploring the LGBT scene.

He picked up the stereotyping habit from Barb, and it will diminish as Barb's influence on Chris fades. He's valuing other opinions over Barb's lately and her abusive routine has been interrupted by health concerns. Waterhead and Kengle are his "Male-Pals" now, and both are fairly liberal when it comes to social norms. The cartoons are terribly damaging for Chris. Growing up, do you remember how everyone would flip out over things that kids might imitate on your favorite cartoon? Chris is the kid they were worried about, and he basically still is.

Where do I send my email interactions with Chris? I didn't get the reaction that I wanted but you can clearly see that he is promoting his etsy shop.

The most ballsy part of it for me was the fact that he went to physically rescue her. At the time he thought he was driving to physically confront his enemies.

In terms of his parents, he does seem to take his mother's threats to heart more than he should, but he seemed to figure that this was a one time thing and it was better to ask forgiveness than ask permission. My guess is that he would have been genuinely shocked if he had more serious consequences at home than a bitching out.

But he honestly expected there might be real serious shit going down in Cleveland and he charged into the middle of it.

It was also a reasonably impressive feat of logistics and stamina, relative to his usual modus operandi. He got going super-early in the morning. He left a note with his parents to try to minimize the damage at home. He navigated a long distance without serious fuckups. His major fuckup, locking himself out of the car, was dealt with fairly efficiently. And when it was clear he was on a wild goose chase he turned around and headed back home, arriving almost 24 hours after he started. It's one of his best day's work.

Apparently Chris enjoyed getting on the open road and watching the country unfurl before his eyes. Too bad he doesn't plan more trips, it's a fun thing to do.

The etsy thread probably works.

I might try going through my pictures to see if anything hasn't been dropped.

Spoiler: like shit through a... Christine?

Spoiler: emotional periods

Edit: Menstrual pads, because this post is impossible to search for.

Double edit: Feminine hygiene, because this post is still impossible to search for. Also tampons.

 

[Ron_Swanson]

I bet the sparkly package looks real nice with the rest of the hoard

Spoiler: like shit through a... Christine?

Spoiler: emotional periods

Three explanations come to mind,
1) The unclit hasn't healed and is weeping in some way.
2) He is now peeing himself and these are his womanly but garments.
3) He is genuinely stupid enough to think that he needs them now he's a woman.

Either way....

4) It is some sort of totem of his womanhood. He gets satisfaction from having things that only women would have. The idea that it is a part of womanhood that no woman is particularly stoked about doesn't register because he doesn't experience a menstrual cycle.

That strikes me as the mose likely.

I cant decide if this is worthy of a thread or not. But what mental age do you think Chris is?

I think he's an autistic 33 year old.

Seriously though, I don't think mental age is very meaningful when talking about Chris.

Edit: Added "very" to the above sentence. Sometimes mental age can be useful when talking about Chris, but I wouldn't take the analogy too literally. It's helpful to keep in mind that while you can talk about Chris being mentally 15 (or whatever value you pick), he's ultimately an autistic adult. Which means he'll have a mixture of normal, childish, and completely retarded behavior.
