If a poll was taken about Chris -

[timtommy]

Suppose a poll was taken of the general population. A random cross section of society are asked to take a few minutes reading about and watching the highlights of Christory.
They are then asked to choose the statement(s) that they agree with.

a) Chris is a bad guy. He deserves everything he got.
b) The trolls are horrible people to pick on a mentally disabled person. People should reach out and try to help him.
c) Chris mostly made a fool of himself but sometimes he was the victim.
d) This whole thing is hilarious.
e) I don't understand why people are interested in this guy

While there is a variety of opinions on this board, people self-select. And if you tell people about it, you select the people.

I am curious what results y'all think a random survey would find.

top answer: who is chris?

 

[timtommy]

top answer: who is chris?

Assume they are told/shown about him before answering.

top answer: who is chris?

Second top answer: mmm, goes down salty.

To really get a feel for Christory, you have to spend more than a few minutes to experience and process it. As for me, when I was first exposed to Chris, I was shocked and horrified. I couldn't stop exploring the CWCKI for hours. I still am shocked and horrified, but I've become a little more used to OPL's insanity by now.

One thought I have had is what if he ends up killing himself and it gets the medias attention somehow and there is a big issue made about "online bullying" and trolls. Despite the fact Chris practically keeps adding wood to the fire. He could have gotten pity china! But its too late

f) What the hell are you doing in my house?!

People are hypersensitive to bullying, because the "limp-wristed liberal pussy" virus has been spreading so rapidly, so I'm fairly sure most people would be quick to accuse trolls of being bullies and sympathize with Chris. Unless you spend some time really reading into Christory, you don't really appreciate what a horrible creature Chris really is, and you realize that he's actually a bully... Yes, he's to comically inept and weak to be an effective bully, but the intent to subjugate everyone around him to his will is clearly there. If Chris had his way, around 3.5 billion men would drop dead.

 

[Tubular Monkey]

In all honesty, Chris is a Dateline NBC story waiting to happen.

"His name is Christian - an autistic man who has overcome adversity in the face of hateful bullying. Tonight, his story."

Then you'd see lots of clips of him being boyishly naive. Not so much of the "YOU PICKLE SUITED NIGGER" stuff.

e) I don't understand why people are interested in this guy

I mean, hell, I'm don't even fully understand why I'm so interested in this guy.

I instantly thought of this guy

Except he became a better person as time progressed.

 

[Himawari]

I would guess...

60% b) The trolls are horrible people to pick on a mentally disabled person. People should reach out and try to help him.
15% c) Chris mostly made a fool of himself but sometimes he was the victim.
12% e) I don't understand why people are interested in this guy
08% d) This whole thing is hilarious.
05% a) Chris is a bad guy. He deserves everything he got.

 

[Zim]

I think one of the answers should be:

g) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!

 

[Springblossom]

Depends on how much they were exposed to. If it was just a quick summary, they'd say the trolls are horrible people, but if they delved into Chris' sordid and seedy history, I think they'd ultimately say Chris brought a lot of it on himself.

 

[Sakamoto]

When I first started reading about Chris, "C" would have been my answer. Of the options OP provided, I'd still probably go with that. I can't really approve of people pretending to be his Sweetheart or holding his accounts for ransom. But if Chris wasn't so stupid none of that would have worked anyway.

 

[Joan Nyan]

C. That's how I feel at least, I mean the whole thing, and hacking his PSN and stuff was a bit too far. It already happened though, no point not laughing about it.
EDIT: Oh, didn't notice the guy above me just said the same thing. My point still stands.

let's not forget that none of it had any lasting effect on him by the looks of it

But Chris isn't a 'good' victim, he's not a cute child or a pretty teenager or even a slow-in-the-mind who tries his best to help his family and community. He's ... Chris.
