To preface, I have been following Timbox since I first encountered him back in 2005 on an animation forum.
For reasons explained below, archive any Timbox content when it gets posted as he has a decent track record of having posts and accounts removed.
Is Timbox a lolcow? Absolutely without a doubt. Is Timbox a danger to society equivalent to Chris Chan? There is frankly not much evidence to suggest that.
A more accurate comparison would be WooglebugLoveProductions without the bankroll.
Personal History
To provide some context to Timbox's origin, I have provided a screencap from Retrojunk (most of his remaining posts on this site are delightful, make note of the username as there were troll imitators later on)
As stated by CrackedRock, Timbox did not graduate High School until the age of 21. CrackRock however neglected to mention this is likely because Special Education programs in public schooling are only offered to those under the age of 21. For context, Chris Chan did graduate at 18 despite taking several special education courses/assistance. While he has stated he has aspergers, I don't believe he has said to what extent or if he has any other additional diagnoses.
Timbox lives at home with his parents. He additionally has two biological brothers (who to my knowledge do not share Timbox's medical condition). It's important to note that Timbox's immediate family are aware of his online antics to some extent.
- While they do allow him access to the internet, they do appear to exert a level of control over his content as Timbox's on camera content has been virtually non-existent since about 2012. Since then, his video content has largely been compromised of trailers and proof of concepts for his various projects. This is likely influenced by his family's wishes.
- His brothers have attempted to take his Encyclopedia Dramatica page down and allegedly have appeared in Timbox's threads on /cow
- Timbox has stated in the past that his family made him leave Twitter and other websites and made him shut down his accounts.
- Timbox used to have a habit of doxing his home phone number and home address in many of his online posts. As such, the house received prank calls and allegedly had a mormon missionary show up.
- Timbox has never posted about having a driver's license and additionally lives in a small rural town so any in person interaction would involve a family member or care giver providing transportation.
- Timbox has rarely provided any information about his employment history. I believe he is or was involved with a transitional program after high school that may have included some level of employment. He also did mention he briefly worked at a comic shop but stated he was unable to be kept on after an increase in minimum wage in his state.
As a result, the suggestion that Timbox will be able to act on any of his violent threats he makes on social media or prey on a young girl due to his love of young cartoon girls is extremely unlikely (and that assumes he even would want to). I do hope his family leaves him at home when they go to their local Asian buffet though.
In short, I genuinely disagree with the notion that Timbox is 'the next Chris Chan' and a future criminal. Additionally, I find any efforts from
@CrackedyRackedy and other Youtubers who attempt to make this comparison as grifters who are attempting to monetize a legitimately mentally handicapped individual.
Most importantly, these unjust comparisons will do nothing but distract Timbox from completing Dexter’s Odyssey, Toontalker, Clerks 3 The Lost World, and other strokes of creative genius.
Apologies for the long write up. To make up for it, please enjoy these two screencaps from "Timmy's World: An Epic Journey Through Pictures and Music". This 91 minute "journey" primarily consists of various images of dinosaurs with orchestral music in the background, but near the end features an epic battle between Timbox and Mandark. This video is so old I originally downloaded it off of Google Video.
