Have you ever felt true sympathy for Chris? -

[ohnoes]

This is a question I ask a lot of people online who have been involved in Chris's life in one way or another...Have you ever felt sympathy for him? And no, when his dad died doesn't count. I mean feeling sympathy for the predicament he got himself into knowing that it will haunt him forever?

If yes, when and why, and do you still?

Why do you exclude Bob's death?

Yes, I felt especially bad for him while listening to the Bluespike audio where he shoves the medallion up his butt. He sounded pretty distressed in that conversation. I think I have general sympathy for him due to the fact that he has autism and was raised poorly, and so he will never have a decent life. Even seeing him in his whole tomgirl getup makes me feel kind of sad for him.

I feel sympathy for him very often, actually. Not for the person he is today, the lazy manchild leeching off the government, but for the very core Chris who could have turned out so much better and accomplished had circumstances been different while growing up. He could have been such an upstanding, valuable member of society despite his autism, but essentially everything that could have gone wrong did, and it was all preventable, and I will always feel bad that it happened that way.

I don't often feel sympathy for the things that has happened to him since irreversibly becoming the way he is, because he brings pretty much all of it on himself, and he's not going to stop it by changing himself for the better. The only thing that I can immediately think of... I'd say the things that BlueSpike made him do just prior to the Julie reveal. Having him stick his broken medallion up his ass and such. That was horrifying and dangerous and it just made me sick to read the chat logs.

Every once in a while when I read his posts about trolls and his regrets, I usually feel sympathy for him. Howevef, without fail Chris will say or do something towards the end of the same post that quickly takes away any sympathy I felt. It is usually a demand or some other bullshit.

Because I believe it's only natural to feel sympathy for someone when they suffer a death to someone close to them. That's a given, so I wanted to exclude it and get to what I really wanted know.

I have to largely agree with you, BOLT. Not to mention I did feel bad for him during the Bluespike Saga. Didn't stop me from laughing, but I still felt a tinge bit of sympathy for him.

Yes. I think that chris kind of fell into a rut with Sonichu, as autistic people are sometimes prone to do. He pinned all his hopes for the future on Sonichu. Sonichu and CWCville were also crucial components of his identity, so, when these were questioned or mocked he was unable to do anything but take it personally.

 

[whispsonichu]

I feel sorry for him a lot, especially these days, the new pictures of him make me feel sad on my insides.

Not that Chris hasn't done some stupid shit before that was completely his own fault.

Chris is very much a product of his upbringing, I often can't help but think that if he'd been given a better chance and taught how to look after himself, he wouldn't be who he is now.

I remember when the Father Call was first released I felt really sorry for Chris during that.

 

[BigAltheGreat921]

Mainly the fact that his mental disability was ignored at the time when he really needed help.

I also think, alongside autism, Chris may have something called Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, where he probably stopped developing mentally at some point.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

I feel bad that he was never given treatment for his autism and the fact that he had crappy parenting. He could have been a productive member of society if he would have been taught to work and try to better himself. His wasted life is rather pitiful.

 

[Stratochu]

Bob's death and the Bluespike saga, the next time I know I'll feel sorry for him is when Barb dies, and I'll most likely feel sorry for him when 14BC either collapses, burns or is condemned...

 

[sparklemilhouse]

No.

 

[cubesandcubes]

No.

Why?

 

[CatParty]

no sympathy at all outside of family passing.
everything can be traced back to his own doing. even bluespike making him shove his medallion up his ass.
he's pitiful, but not sympathetic.

 

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

When someone tells you that you can either burn an object or shove it up your ass and you choose the latter? That is all you.

 

[ChurchOfGodBear]

I don't think a day goes by that I don't feel sorry for Chris. He knows his life sucks, but he doesn't really understand why. He's very disturbed and thinks the whole world hates him. Even if this partially his own fault, it's a really shitty way to live for years on end, with no hope of improvement. I feel sorry for him that he has to live this way when he had the potential to at least be a functional member of society, and also that the person he's most dependent on is also the person most responsible for him being held back.

This doesn't in any way change my opinion of Chris, or my criticism of his attitudes and motivation. I just don't think anyone should have to live like he does.

 

[snowkitten91]

I've tried to, but he always finds the way to make me toss any sympathy that I may have for him at any given moment out the nearest window.

He TRUEly and HONESTly is his own worst troll.

 

[Bridechu]

I do feel sorry for Chris. A lot of people let him down in his life for him to get to the state he's in now. He had an apathetic father and a coddling mother, neither who knew how to or wanted to parent an autistic kid, he had a rural school system that didn't have the means to counter all the damage that was being done at home, and he had a pastor in place of a psychologist or at least an occupational therapist.

However, Chris had plenty of stops on the crazy train to get off. I've seen kids with worse mental failings and worse upbringings do it. But Chris chose the easy route, so this is all he'll probably be. I do feel sorry for him, but I no longer feel too bad for laughing.

i felt bad for him when a troll made him go all the way to Cleveland Ohio so many horrible things could of happened to him I know I don't go around Cleveland after night fall because its dangerous he got very lucky that an old women opened the door. Although I don't think Chris went there just to be the trolls prince I think he tho he was going to get laid out of it it was still really cruel.

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

Like, all the time. I don't find him nearly as despicable as some people do. He is, whether or not he wants to admit it, a "slow in the mind," and lots of the things he does or did he was tricked into because he genuinely didn't know better. There's something profoundly sad about someone whose greatest, and only real desire is to have someone and not be alone who will, very likely, be alone forever. He has the mind of a child, essentially, and nobody would do to a child the sort of things people have done to him.

The funniest things he's done are the things he gets himself into, or when he flips out the way you'd expect a child to. Like the whole Liquid Chris thing, making him freak out about the idea that people might actually think HE was an impostor is straight up something a child would do.

That said, he's taken a marked turn for the bizarre and truly creepy.
