Honestly I'm pretty sure Chris in general would have been better off raised under liberals.
The Conservative mindset of "He's mah boi, you're not using your weird science on mah boi!" and "Back in mah day we didn't have hand outs or fancy medicines." combined with the Southern Arrogance that problems only come from "Other people's yards", is a big reason Chris turned out this way.
He needs doctors, lots of them.
Chris being brought up by Liberal parents would have arguably been worse. Like others pointed out, autism wasn't understood well back then. Liberal parents would have been skeptical about the kinds of drugs they would have recommended him. The only differences I could think of:
- He'd possibly become a homosexual. After hanging out with all girls his entire life, his parents would think he was gay and push that on him to signal.
- He may have tried to sexualize male figures such as Sonic instead and started cross-dressing as women far earlier.
- When he meets Megan he would probably start heavily getting into Sailor Moon.
- Sonichu would be a drama about which Rosechu is going to go out with Sonichu in the style of a stupid teen girl drama. Mary Lee Walsh is hating the gays, and Reldnahc would be a Christian Fundamentalist.
- Every enemy would be a Captain Planet-esque villain who hates homosexuals, women and minorities.
- Black Sonichu would actually be black, but he'd act like Will Smith and be the "smooth, cool" black guy.
Chris would ostracized by literally everyone because being liberal in Virginia at that time would make him an outcast instead of the "well he's a little weird but he's mostly like us anyway" attitude people seemed to have towards him in those days.
I don't think if he were raised by liberals it would change anything. He was a selfish horndog raised on too much cartoons and would likely have been a shut in by preference. His life would still be miserable, but he'd have just been known as the first SJW type persona on the internet.
Also some of the best trolls and sagas may not have occurred since SJWism didn't exist in full in the mid 00s and hating on a backwards, shut-in, Bible thumping Republican was more acceptable than a gay rights, equal opportunity disabled Democrat would be.
