Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

[A-№1]

It could be argued that Emperor Norton was an example of what would be seen as Lowcow culture.

Emperor Norton was no lolcow. He lived his life as what we today would call political satire performance art, making a mockery of (and setting an example for) the politics of the day (both in America and abroad). The people of San Francisco were not laughing at him; they were laughing at government with him (particularly congress, because fuck those guys). On top of this, he was an absolutely moral and ethical man, believing implicitly in the fundamental equality of all mankind, decrying violence (especially political and religious violence), and defending the absolute rights of the individual.

Chris is a selfish asshole. He is a lolcow.

Joshua A. Norton was selfless. He WAS the Emperor of the United States. We could not have asked for a better one.

He had all sorts of crazy pronouncements printed in the local papers though.

After a century's hindsight, they weren't that crazy at all. If anything the man was prescient.

The really weird stuff was made up by the papers themselves. The media then were just as corrupt and dishonest as they are today.

I am not being facetious, if a person takes a knife to a public place like a bar or restaurant, then attacks a stranger, it’s not the fault of the venue?

A con is definitely NOT a public space. They charge admission, and the organizers hold discretion over who can and cannot attend. As such, if someone they permit into the con causes trouble or harms someone, especially with a weapon they allowed, they are responsible along with the offender (and they have MUCH deeper pockets than Chris).

Many cons I have been too have had items which would make improvised weapons, on sale, within the reach of the public.

Because the people who organize cons are often as autistic as the attendees.

a bat is still a piece of sports equipment.

When it's used to hit a ball, it's sports equipment. When it's used by Chris to hit a "toxic", it's a deadly weapon.

I strongly advise to wear a helmet if you ever want to bike anywhere, even at a reasonable pace.

Helmet laws suck. Not wearing a helmet is stupid. People have a right to be stupid. Let natural selection; do its job.

I prefer not denting my skull on a rock

Fucking magpies. Enough said.

Venders who sell weapons at cons often require you to remove them from the premises immediately, or store them at the booth to be picked up later. Including bats. Whoever let Chris in with that thing really dropped the ball.

Virginia has a "Son of Sam" law. I wonder if this bars Chris from profiting from this and selling Sonichu comics related to this crime.
In theory, the state of Virginia could seize any funds related to this crime, we all know Chris is going to sperg out and write several comic books about this incident, and given his financial state he will likely attempt to sell them. Will the state seize the earnings?

Who were the biggest Lolcows before Chris came into the picture?

The Final Fantasy house comes to mind link to page with copious articles on them , most dating from 2002.

There was also a Sailor Moon cosplayer Lori that was quite the trainwreck also roughly around the early 00s, apparently has a kiwi thread already

Probably said already, but does anyone else think Kengle looks very similar to Dan Schneider?

Kengle looks similar to a constipated, bloated corpse.

How could a Highly Regarded Professional like Justin Silverman let an unhinged lunatic into a con with a metal bat?

What a piece of shit.

C'mon, this is Pristine Christine we're talking about. Christy was leading a double life over social media. By day, a buxom super model who breastfed orphans and led fundraisers for starving Africans. By night and in real life, he was a fat man with moobs, who liked to rape old ladies, forcefully swap spit with men, and mace people.....at least, the day part is how his enablers romanticized him.

I was wonder aside from autism, does anyone know the lore of why Chris was so obsessed with having a daugther named Crystal?

"Crystal" sounds similar to "Chris", I guess - and of course Chris is a massive egotist.

It's his cargo cult thinking. Chris really wanted to BE the daughter named Crystal, but obviously wasn't and couldn't, so he opted for the next best thing. It's the trinity of Chris' desired identity: Chris the mother, Crystal the daughter, and the unholy Sonichu. Separate but the same.

Sure he’ll write a comic about it. It’ll be full of his Jesus delusions and very difficult to understand. He will make like sixty bucks off of it. A ween will report it to the state, and someone in enforcement will take one look at the cover of the Sonichu issue in question, laugh, and move on to the real things they have to work on.

Chris Chan is just a scapegoat for the world's autism

Because Jesus told Chris in a dream he'd have a daughter named Crystal.

Chris Chan is just a scapegoat for the world's autism

Who's more autistic us for following Chris or Chris himself?

The smartest thing Cole can do is be absolutely silent. He’s not as dumb as I thought he was.

if I was Cole, I would want nothing to do with the situation either. The man is living a good life, no need to associate himself with the craziness that is Chris Chan.

 

[I swear she's 18]

"Crystal" sounds similar to "Chris", I guess - and of course Chris is a massive egotist.

Crystal sound phonetically alot like"Chris"-toll. Like Toro said it's all about stroking his massive ego. Everything should be about and named after him.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Like Toro said it's all about stroking his massive ego.

I imagine he also likes the name "Crystal" because of the Chaos Emeralds in the Sonic the Hedgehog games.

Maybe you can bait him into selling it, he makes some money, and then report to Virginia court yourself to get his stuff seized.

 

[Ophelia]

Funny thing is, Chris’s imaginary son isn’t named after him.

I think it mostly was the dream.

Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller fame had similarly aged parents when he was born in bumfuck Massachusetts in 1955, and he claims that even his parents were warned that they were too old, claiming “the belief was at that point you would either have a genius or a retard.”

So if the dangers were known enough for them to be alerted, I believe it’s highly likely that Bob and Barb were given a similar warning. But they also considered Chris to be a miracle, so maybe they were just so shocked Bob wasn’t shooting dust that they didn’t care.



Joshua Norton declared himself “Emperor of America” in the 1800’s and the people of San Francisco just went along with it. They made toys of him, would randomly give him pocket change claiming it was a tax, and would jokingly bow to him The man was even arrested once and public outcry was so large that they released him. It could be argued that Emperor Norton was an example of what would be seen as Lowcow culture.

But if we are referring to just internet people, Eric W. Schwartz maybe have been it. He created a webcomic called Sabrina Online, which he still makes to this day, that was originally designed to be heavily pro-amiga and anti-Apple and Microsoft. It’s a furry comic drawn in very low res that looks like a a looney toons knock off. The Erica’s odd worldview and Amiga obsession was present, as was his bizarre sexualization of his underaged characters and many spergouts in the 90’s and early 2000’s. He treated Mac and windows computers like Chris treated them Hexbox, drew lots of porn of his characters, and eventually the plot got lost too. Sabrina the skunk girl graduated school and went to work in a porn studio where she was regularly harassed by her boss, a different furry character he stole from someone else.

Schwartz used his amiga well into the 2010’s before “upgrading” to a Apple G4 with a modded OS that emulates the Amiga. He’s not quite at Chris’s level, but there’s enough there to where he could be seen as the proto-Chris Chan

You're not wrong, but AFAIK Eric isnt a troon, has a modicum of legit talent as an artist, (even of its as the lowest form of one) and is making legit bank off his creation not just via patreon but also through self published copies of his webcomic. Oh and he's not sitting in jail awaiting a bed to open up at a tard home to take him in a year after having sex with his elderly mom.
