None, honestly. He has it really, really easy, apart from the indignations that come with being a 32-year-old child in the perpetual care of his mother (which can't amount to much for him considering his total lack of shame or self-awareness). I'll feel sorry for him when he actually makes a genuine effort to improve his life and then fails. It's the difference between being an F student who just doesn't give a shit and one who is slow and dumb but at least trying.

I generally feel sorry for where he is in life now. Unfortunately for Chris, he has an entire wiki of transcripts detailing the innumerable conversations that he has had with people who have tried to provide reasonable advice to him. Chris will never change, no matter what anyone says to him. And it is that refusal to admit he needs to change that divides any sympathy for him.

The problem is that Chris doesn't think he's made any mistakes. All of his problems are caused by you and me. (literally, since we post on this forum.)CatParty said:
He's going down that road that Bob and Barb so obviously went down. The road where you under no circumstances will ever admit to any wrongdoing, or say you're sorry, or re-evaluate your own actions. The end of that road is a very dark and lonely dead-end, But Chris doesn't get that. If he were smart he'd look at Barb and see his future. Old and alone in a dump with no friends.
But he's not smart, so he won't ever have that moment that allows him to even admit the mistakes he should be learning from.

I feel sorry for him, for the fact that, he isn't living life. He exists, but his life now is just, playin vidya, and being lonely. The world can be a great place, there are a lot of cool things to explore. There are places to go, and things to learn, and he does not do any of that. I also feel sorry for the fact that, he never had childhood friends, so he has no cool memories of playing in the woods with friends, or telling scary stories, you know kid stuff, he just played video games alone. Now I also played a lot of video games as a child, so I'm not saying video games are bad its just, the most fun things I remember about my childhood gaming, involved playing with friends. Also its sad that Bob died, he seemed way more mentally together, than Barb.

Bob dying, of course. Which leads into his current state - totally under Barb's awful, manipulative thumb. He's brought a lot of shit on himself, but the way Barb treats him (and I from what I gather has treated him this way for most of his life) is terrible. Sure, he's 
and makes some really bad decisions especially in regards to the internet, but the way Barb has mindfucked him is just wrong. I feel sorry for him because he lacks to the tools to rise up out of his current state, and will only continue to sink deeper.

I'm all about insisting Chris accept blame for his own mistakes, but there are some areas where I do give him a pass.
Bob dying: Sure, Chris did some things around that point that some of us might consider callous, but IMO, that's actually okay. Well-adjusted neurotypicals have difficulty dealing with the death of a close loved one, and will often act out of character during such a time. If a "normal" person couldn't manage it, it's unfair to hold Chris to a higher standard. No one really knows how to deal with death.
Patti Dying: I'm going to take a less-than-popular stance and say that if Chris wants to see his dog's death as equal to a human's in his eyes, that's okay with me. It's really stupid for him to SAY that to OTHER PEOPLE, but I kinda see where he's coming from.
Having Shitty Parents: Chris should take responsibility for himself, but there's no doubt that his upbringing has ill prepared him to do that. He deserved better at the start.
Trolling: There are some areas where it went too far. Chris really should have been left alone, or perhaps the intervention could have taken a more white knight approach from the beginning. Having someone pretend to be the love of your life, only to be lying, is cruel. Granted, because of Chris's sex-centered and selfish attitude toward his love quest, I don't feel TOO sorry for him, but it was still poor form.
Right Fucking Now: Imprisoned by his mother, living in squalor, thinking the world is against him. EVEN THOUGH it's largely his own lack of effort to blame, that's no way for a person to live.

I know it's already mentioned, but Bob's death. Bob was the only person "holding" together the Chandler household and was trying to make things better for chris, but once he passed away, it just got even worse...
Heck, when Bob died, me and my friend (who follows CWC news closely) were slightly saddened by the news since Bob was our favorite Chandler (and internet lumberjack.)

Virtually everyone's sole answer to this question seems to be Bob's death.
Just goes to show that Bob's death is pretty much the one bad thing in his life that he neither had any control over, nor exacerbated through being a dipshit.

This fact alone shows that he's not quite as irredeemable as many people think he is.

Agreed. I lost my Dad very recently. It blows, and it's going to happen to most of us (unless we die before our parents, which would be even worse.)ChurchOfGodBear said:
i adore my dog, but i'd kill her and eat her in a second if it would bring my dad back. I know that's probably an even more unpopular sentiment, but it's the truth. To me animal lives < human lives. Every day and twice on Sunday. (My dad used to say that.)ChurchOfGodBear said:
agreed. Chris should never have been mainstreamed. They fucked him over on that. but what's done is done and the "my parents sucked" excuse really starts losing validity after your 30th birthday.ChurchOfGodBear said:
Bluespike went too far for sure. Some of the other trolls really went after him to the point where i didn't personally think it was warranted or even entertaining. Chris has done and said some really despicable things though, and in a lot of ways i'm still surprised that nobody did anything more than fuck with him out in 'the neighborhood of make-believe' (as it were.) I'll tell you this much: if i found out that someone was on their FB saying that my significant other needed to be murdered they'd be in serious shit far beyond anything that's happened to Chris thus farChurchOfGodBear said:
He's safe and fed and doesn't have to do a damn thing for any of it (besides tending to Barbs ass once in a while, which i would do for my mother without complaint. But then again, my mom is a sweetheart.) i can understand people who feel bad for him on this. I can understand people who don't. I don't.ChurchOfGodBear said:

Eh, I don't know about that. It's not like Chris is getting any less retarded with age. Or, well, he kinda is. In small amounts. Any improvements he might be achieving aren't remotely big enough for Chris to be responsible for himself.somejerk said:
A few aspects of Chris' life are fine. He's very comfortable in a few ways. The big problems are Barb denying Chris privacy and denying Chris social outlets. Both of those things, if applied too aggressively to someone, as Barb is doing, can really fuck you up. Barb is pretty seriously fucking with Chris' welfare.somejerk said:

Why is she doing this? Is it out of not wanting to be alone or a genuine interest in keeping him from making a further fool of himself online/in public and running afoul of the law? I'm just curious if her actions are driven by reason or irrationality. Keeping him in this type of lockdown might have prevented his from becoming a lolcow had it been enacted sooner.

I'd say the time he won free tickets and couldn't find anyone to go with him, not even from his young adult group.
Really it's the video he made that he talks about the Greene County conspiracy that is so pathetic. He really doesn't want to admit he's a horrible person and no one wants anything to do with him. He has to blame it on some bizarre conspiracy that a school board wanted to ruin his life.
Then again, after you see his Facebook statuses, you realize he made his own bed and now has to sleep in it.
Other than that:
His dad dying and leaving him with a deranged, manipulative woman. Even Chris doesn't deserve that.
She's hoarding him and doesn't want to be abandoned, like everyone else in her life has.

Uhh, we don't really know for certain why she's doing it. I really don't think she's trying to keep him from making a fool of himself. I mean, she's as nuts or more nuts than Chris. I always say that Oct 28 was a lot more her fault than Chris', for example.Captain Cid said:
And no, this lockdown isn't effective. Chris can and has done some of the classic things he used to do in past sagas. They just didn't get publicized. Chris is really doing well at staying off the internet, mostly because of his paranoia.
