What event made you feel genuinely sorry for Chris?

[Pikonic]

It's a tough call between Bob's death and right now. Losing a parent goes without saying, but now Chris is dealing with a situation that he never could have possibly prepared for. His mother clearly needs mental help (possibly due to the loss of her husband) and he has lost all freedom because of it. Not even A-log himself could look at his current living condition with his mother and honestly say "LOL this is what you deserve for making Sonichu, shitty YouTube videos and playing vidya all day."

Bob's death. Despite Chris not being a likeable person in the slightest and making an ass of himself IRL and online, losing a parent is always hard. And I'm glad that audio of Chris' reaction to Bob's passing was not put up; it's a tasteless invasion of privacy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

well i guess the real question is, if Chris can't be responsible for himself, then isn't Barb right to be keeping such close tabs on him now since he's proven time and time again that he'll only get himself into trouble if left to his own devices? I can honestly see the argument either way on both counts, but they kinda seem like mutually exclusive concepts at first blush.

then again i guess it doesn't have to be that black and white. She could keep tabs on him and let him have his own room. She could also bite the bullet and keep tabs on him like the rest of us do, through the CWCki. It would be uncomfortable but that would give her an excellent idea of what he's up to, and she could head off trouble. It also wouldn't be an invasion of privacy since it's publicly available. I guess i don't know enough about Barbs motivations

and although people crack jokes about how rural and podunk Ruckersville is (and it certainly is.)

Although Greene County has a fairly well-earned reputation for being redneck around Charlottesville and the surrounding counties, it really isn't the rednecky, modern-day Deliverance that some here make it out to be.


Even though I'm an empathetic person, I have found it as hard as many others to feel sorry for Chris. A lot of that has to do with his constant whining and the victim complex chip on his shoulder.

However, I did feel a measure of sympathy for Chris when his Dad died. That's tough for anyone to have to endure.

I guess i don't know enough about Barbs motivations for keeping Chris at hand. I do remember hearing that it was just her loneliness and not so much her wanting to keep Chris out of trouble.

Well, by responsible, I was thinking more about the trolling. All the videos he's made, things like that. Actually, I think his life is simple and repetitive enough that he can handle it on his own. The biggest worry I have about Chris' ability to survive are trolls and people conning him over the internet, but after getting fucked with enough times, he finally learned how to be safe from those kinds of things.

I don't think Barb is trying to keep him out of trouble. Barb's nuttier than Chris. Hell, Chris' inherent cowardice would keep him out of a lot of potential situations. Barb's more confident than Chris. I always say that Oct 28 wouldn't have happened without Barb.

I remember making a thread like this a few forums back. For me back then it was, and still is, hearing about how he shit himself and hid under a pile of stuffed animals after receiving a "death threat" from "Clyde". Pretty much anytime Chris' behavior makes it really obvious that he's stuck with the mentality of an 8 year old is when I'll feel kind of bad for him.

 

[CatParty]

And I hate to say it, but I can't feel sorry about his current "imprisonment" by barb. Because he has all the power to change it. He just needs to wake up, grow up, and realize it.

Ah. Gotcha.

 

[DangDirtyTrolls]

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.

Can we have some stories?

Eh, like globe said, Chris has the mind of a child. It's unreasonable to expect Chris to just suddenly realize he could say no to Barb and leave. It's unreasonable in the same way that Chris expects some girl to just come up to him on the street, save him from his life and let him sit on his ass all day and be the "house husband." While it's technically possible, it's ridiculous to expect it to actually happen or hold Chris responsible for not making it happen.

Unfortunately, if they weren't publicized, I can't be the one to publicize them. When Chris sends them to the wrong person, then they get leaked. I'm waiting for that to happen.

Yeah, I agree here. That would have been way beyond the boundaries of good taste. I'm glad no one trolled him at the hospital or something.

Is there a specific story in the wiki about him hiding from Clyde and shitting himself? I looked in the Clyde article and couldn't find it.

 

[c-no]

Aside from the death of Bob, which is hard since this isn't just losing a family member but your own father, I also have to say the parenting Chris was reared under. As ChurchofGodBear has said, the upbringing from Borb has ill prepared Chris. He was basically coddled by his parents and was given "mainstream" education which didn't really help him at all. Focus on Barb's parenting, and she pretty much just shielded Chris from the slightest failure and shortcoming, taking his side in events such as when Chris was perma-banned from the Game Place. I can't say much about Bob other than that he sided with Chris regarding Greencounty and the Matthew Noble call. Had Borb actually put more effort in being good parents, Chris' upbringing would have been much better than it was so many years ago.

Look on the "Death Threats" page, under the heading "Chris as a recipient". From what I gathered, during the Ivy saga some epic ween kid called Chris up pretending to be Clyde and threatened to kill him or something. Chris shit his bed and hid under a pile of stuffed animals. It's a pathetic, but at the same time pretty catheterizing view of who he is by the end of the day.

Yeah, while current-day Chris is a pretty sad sight to behold, there's nothing about it that inspires pity in me. I've been in ruts myself, but I got up off my ass and did something to fix it, be it going back to school or working out more often, or making more of an attempt to socialize. Chris has the ability to ameliorate most of his problems, but he chooses not to. Not only does he choose not to, he doesn't even make a fucking attempt, he just whines on facebook and waits for someone to come along and fix his shit for him. I can't feel bad for someone like that.

 

[Sakamoto]

I would have liked to just let him do his thing and see where it went. But of course, this is the internet and a target like Chris is irresistible to trolls. I can't blame them anymore than I could blame a shark for going after a bleeding wounded tuna. Now CWC is just a hollow shell of what he used to be. All of the things he enjoyed in life have been ruined except his one last passion, video games. So, yeah, I feel sorry for him, the way I might feel bad for a drug addict who ruined their own life. It was his own stupidity that allowed him to fall for all the traps that were set for him. Like a monkey pissing on an electric fence, I may feel some pity, but it's too funny not to watch.

That was before he got his pocket knife silly, now Chris has the power to take down some dang dirty trolls.

I feel the same way.

Chris just has nearly zero life experience even in his 30's due to coddling, sheltering, silly brainedness, lazyness, and a myriad of mental problems. I look at him like a tragic accident. Sort of how you feel sorry for all the victims you see on the news but since there is no chance you can do anything about it all you can do is watch.

His dad dying is the only time I felt a little bad for him like most. That sucks for anyone but I'm sure Chris took it harder then most normal people would because of his (again) silly brain.

 

[RV 229]

Chris had a huge reaction to Bob dying. He just didn't put it on the internet, like all his other videos.

If he didn't put it out on the internet, how do you know about it? None of us were actually there for him.

Heh, how do you know I wasn't there for him?

But yeah, I can't say how I know about it, sorry.

 

[Stalin]

Probably the deaths of Patti and Bob.

Losing a pet sucks. He's mentally a child, and when you're a child, losing a pet is devastating. Of course, losing a parent is worse. Chris' stability was gone after Bob died. The last semblance of structure, gone.

 

[Metagross]

1. Bob dying. That's a given.

2. How Bluespike treated him in Julie Reveals herself. That was way fucking out of hand. Telling him to cut himself and burn down his house. That twerp was rather infuriating, he could hardly form sentences without tripping all over himself and sounding like an idiot, yet he thought it was really funny to try and torture Chris when he wasn't much better than Chris himself.

3. Seeing that picture he put up of himself recently in the "on a scale how attractive am I." He has AGED. He looks like he was dragged through hell and doesn't even attempt to smile anymore.
