Are you implying that anything and everything done to Chris in the years before his further isolation was not cruel?
BigBoss said:Pretty self-explanatory thread title.
What do you guys think? Has Chris given us everything he has to offer? Are we just holding onto a relic of what the internet was before things like Reddit and "meme culture?" Are we just being cruel at this point?
I don't know if I'd put it that way. I mean, unless you're including his whole life or something, as far as the internet stuff goes, during a certain time period (between the beginning of ED/Jimmy Hill and say, Bob dying), almost all of what Chris did was provoked. Hell, a lot of the time, the things Chris did were specifically dictated to him.DangDirtyTrolls said:Of course, a lot of the lulz Chris provided were unprovoked and came from him doing his own thing. Chris is still perfectly capable of this sort of thing thanks to his autisitic logic but Barb has been holding onto the leash pretty tightly lately.
Sorry about that. It wasn't my intention to bring up an old, overused topic.DrChristianTroy said:Bit off topic but any chance we can add this to the almanac page? This is a topic that seems to come up fairly often.
That's true, but in my humble TRUE and HONEST opinion the stuff that Chris did with little to no suggestion was usually funnier than the stuff Chris was explicitly told to do. Shoving the Sonichu medallion up his ass bordered on sadistic, but Chris taking 'embrace your feminine side' to mean 'crossdress then get pissed off when people ask if I'm gay' just comes out of left field in a way only Chris can do.Marvin said:I don't know if I'd put it that way.

Well, the public has a different perspective of what things Chris did willingly than I do. Access to different information. And the story about the beginning of the tomgirl saga isn't that clear. Hell, it's blurry even to us. But yeah, we thought Chris misinterpreting a line like "embrace your feminine side" was pretty funny too until we found out that Chris has some actual gender issues.DangDirtyTrolls said:That's true, but in my humble TRUE and HONEST opinion the stuff that Chris did with little to no suggestion was usually funnier than the stuff Chris was explicitly told to do.

Well unfortunately I only have access to public information so that's all I can base my opinions on but if the tomgirl thing was something of a troll plot then I see my idea of what Chris does of his own accord is mistaken.Marvin said:Well, the public has a different perspective of what things Chris did willingly than I do.
