Times when you have felt genuinely sorry for Chris

[Master Xehanort]

The realization that everything he believed about his high school years for almost 15 years was a lie. As someone who didn't ever have a "hired help" nor was the friend out of pity in high school, I felt slightly jealous of Chris having at least that.

I think High School is a weird time for anybody. Most people like me were thankful to be done with high school and never wanted to go back. Before Chris, I never thought anyone would want to go to High School. Obviously I appreciate higher education (college) but the fact of the matter is High School is a terrible time. Chris actually wanting to go back to having a life he was happy with is sad. The sad part about life is that we only live once, you only get one chance. There are no do-overs.

Anybody dislike how Bob strongly pushed his interests onto Chris? Bob should have raised Chris to be his own person.

 

[WelperHelper99]

The immense amount of trolling that in my opinion, broke him. The idea guy saga was the final nail in the crazy coffin

 

[Sigma_Rizzler]

Some of the sweetheart stuff did make me feel bad for him at times. He genuinely believed that these girls (men) were into him and that his future was bright, just to be tricked time after time. It's still his fault, but it's painful to read about nonetheless.

I think Chris did become his own person. He was the opposite of his dad; lazy, slovenly, and lack of insight. Sure, part of it is attributed to the 'tism, however, Chris was determined for better, or worse, to do his own thing.

It is, on the surface, but that goes completely out the window when you read and listen to Chris basically saying he's entitled to these women. He always had that mentality that "other males jerks took all the pretty girls" and Chris was left with the fatties and ugmos.

Except the thing is, Chris chose to interact them. As some folks have said, the trolls were more interested in him and his life than anyone "real" in his life, including his parents. Chris took frequent breaks from the internet, or locked down his accounts, only to open them back up because he was getting zero attention. Chris would still be tarded today, and probably even more so if the trolls had never found him.

The thing I feel bad about Chris was his purposeful refusal to get his head out of his ass and aim for things more. You could see definite times where would self reflect, but then then his ego would take over and he'd run himself into the ground yet again. If he had been a little more meek, not try to be, well him, he'd probably have done better, though not be as infamous. But as we've seen in the last two years, Chris really doesn't care about how people view him, as long as people are looking at him.

Makes me wonder if Chris is likely to pull a dangerous stunt post release just to get people to look at him again? He was very careful to keep 'Barb's romps in the hay' to himself. If he was inclined, he would've put that out in the open. However, he was sneaky about it because he knew it was bad, but has shown no remorse for it.

 

[Almighty MoeBro Nation]

I've felt sorry for him ever since Bob died. He's just a different person. He always engaged in weird fantasies to an extent but seeing him plunge head first into his imaginary worlds as a coping mechanism to deal with the loss was heartbreaking. Not to imply everything stupid he did post 2011 was the result of his father's death but I feel like it was really the tipping point for some of his more questionable behavior

I sometimes wish Christory just stopped after 2011 because everything after has just been a slow descent

The idea fags and other such weens exploiting his delusions was also nothing short of infuriating

Even if he cut down the internet he still would have become an autistic manchild totally divorced from reality, and he probably still would have trooned out with how prolific troons have become. I agree it would have been awesome if Chris adopted his classic persona instead of becoming a weird gross tranny, but he doesn't have the mental or social capacity to understand what people liked about his old content.

He probably would have fucked barb anyways imo (the red flags were there years ago) but I guess it wouldn't have been an international news story that people gawked at for entertainment

Chris-Chan's initial discovery by 4chan way back when was kind of like the Inca's initial discovery by the Conquistador Pizarro.

Maybe if this was the 1950's where rotary phones were a luxury Chris-Chan could have had all his mental disabilities and problems and not be known as anything more than the village idiot- but in the era of the smartphone and wifi he was toast right at birth. If his weirdness wasn't initially reported on by 4chan in the early 2000's it would have been posted on r/PublicFreakout or TikTok a few years later.

Tales of his infamy would still be spoken of from Ireland to Cathay, to quote one of Josh's favorite video games.

I felt bad for him after the Home Tour video. Having to grow up in a hoarding situation on top of basically everything else in his life was just adding insult to injury.

Also, when his Aunt Corrina died. Barb left him home when she went to see her for the last time. The audio of Chris telling Barb he wishes he could hug her one last time and Barb blowing him off is sad. What's worse is the skype call the day before the funeral. Chris is upset the entire call and actually breaks down and has to hang up. He comes back and starts crying and talking about finding out Corrina was sick. It might be the only time on record where Chris has been genuinely distraught. He's not usually that human, you know?

Video should start at 35:33

Chris has been goofed on a lot for getting upset about the funeral being on his birthday, but honestly, I don't blame him. A day that, at least in his mind, has a lot of significance and is usually a high point in the year for him, all of a sudden becomes a day of tragedy and grieving for a family member you loved. Does anyone want to spend their birthday mourning a relative?

Probably one of the most sad (yet funny) CWC moment for me was the Ohio trip. He drove for 800 miles (something that he never done before iirc) to rescue Julie only to find out that he had been trolled yet again. It must've been a pretty terrifying journey for him, both being so far away from his parents and getting locked outside of Son-Chu, not to mention the fact that he was on a very limited budget.

 

[Troon_Patrol]

IDK about feeling sorry for Chris but, I think everyone deserves proper legal representation since the famous Gideon V Wainright, case. His Attorney doesn't appear to be doing enough, at least in my eyes.

 

[Muttley]

when nintendo and sega finally announced their plans to develop that sonichu game for switch shortly after chris was arrested

i was left wondering how they could do that to him?

Spoiler

but jokes aside
pretty much anything idea guys or bella janke related makes me bummed out

 

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

He had a pretty good time actually. Bob and Barb didn't

 

[spergingandbrave]

This is going to sound weird, but hear me out.

First and probably only time I felt genuinely sorry for the dude was while listening to the Geno Documentary and hearing about Borb paying his galpals to be friends with him. Everything else after that is either disgust or pity, but that one detail gets me. If his parents put in the slightest bit of effort Chris wouldn't have become this much of a socially awkward creep who stares at women's boobs and smells them like a dog. Instead, they bought him friends. That's the moment everything started going downhill, even if Chris thought the opposite.

The extent to which they were paid to befriend him is unclear.

I'm aware, it's just the notion in itself is depressing as fuck to me. Especially because Barb couldn't keep her mouth shut and so readily admitted it later on.

What makes me sad is it was literally trolls guessing, and Chris asked and Barb confirmed. People were able to guess the only people chris could be friends with were paid to do so.
I think if Chris had genuine friends he might have turned out better. Some other autistic weird kid friends would suit him well. I'unno.

 

[Ophelia]

I am not inclined to trust Barb, who wanted her helper monkey all to herself.

 

[Canopus The Brilliant]

Bob's death for sure. It was very clear that his father's death left Chris emotionally destroyed, and that pain will haunt him for the rest of his days. Aside from that, I don't know, but I was definitely terrified for him when I first read about Jacob Sockness. That entire story was absolutely fucking mortifying, and I well and truly would not wish an experience like that on anyone.
