I'm not trying to break any forum rules, and I'm not encouraging A-Logging, nor am I an A-Logger. I just wanted to voice a few of my thoughts on A-Logging, from the perspective of the A-Loggers.

While Chris is not Hitler, I still contend that he is a bad, possibly evil person, for a few reasons that everyone seems to overlook.

First off, I'm not offended by his views on race and homos, because to me, that is just a matter of opinion, and he hasn't lynched either one. Second, even as a staunch believer in the Second Amendment, I'm not offended by his views on gun control, because, once again, matter of opinion, plus he's really too stupid and uninformed to understand the complexities of the issue and the implications of what he's advocating. And even while I am totally disgusted by his cross-dressing, jizz-chugging, and the fact that he was working hard on his Fuck Quest the day Bob died, those things still have no victim, and it's his life to live. I'm not bothered by the tugboat so much, because he's not draining as much as many do, because, as the CWCki states, it's not a massive welfare check meant to totally replace an income and cover all needs, it's just there to supplement what he would get at a shitty job.

However, while I ultimately reject A-Logging, I also must reject the assertion by anti-A-Loggers that Chris is not a bad person. He totally fucking is. Here are three examples, in chronological order.

One, the drawing of Megan. Now, we can all talk about how stupid it was for Megan to try to befriend Chris, but then again, there are plenty of people in the CWC community who have Megan-like pity for him, so ultimately, we can't blame here for the picture (and other info) that Chris spread across the internet about her. We can only blame Chris.

Two, the fact that he accused Snyder of molesting his own daughter. Seriously, this is beyond defamation of character. It could be argued that Chris is too dumb to understand the severity of this, which is probably true, but it still takes a sick person to do this.

Third, probably the most oft-cited event, which is the vehicular assault. Seriously. Mike's just protecting his assets by banning a retard who scares away business, and he gets accused of child molestation and then hit with a car.

Ultimately, I'm against A-Logging, as it's a liability to the CWC community, and goes beyond having a laugh at a retard's expense, but on the other hand, rejecting A-Logging does not mean being blind to how fucked up Chris is.

Sooo what your saying is that Chris is a rather unpleasant specimen of humanity and that should be recognised.

I totally agree, and in that spirit I would like to add that water remains to be wet, fire continues to be hot, and Rowsdower shall always be the finest name ever created

Problem is, A-logging existed before those incidents (except for the Megan incident). What I think annoys people most regarding A-logging is that A-logs believe that Chris deserves the most brutal punishments imaginable even if it is cruel and unusual. Not only that but many A-logs are just as bad as Chris, making them hypocrites.

weirds me out when people say "cwc is a bad person" on 789chan and get "hi a-log!" in response
always thought a-logging was saying shit like "cwc deserves to die in a concentration camp" or "i hope he commits suicide"

so for that reason i have never really been clear on what the term really means

Saying that CWC is a bad person isn't A-Logging. Its when people think he is evil incarnate and must be brutally punished that its the problem.

This. Seriously, look at that thread A-Loggs thread on the Lolcow General forum. The biggest A-Loggs are all weirdos, losers and spergs.

I do have to say that a lot of what he does pisses me off. Obviously he's just a mental child, but that really isn't an excuse, since that's not an actual disability like underdeveloped cognition. Most of the time we like to shrug off his antics with "he doesn't know any better" but I think he does know, in many cases, what he's doing. I don't think he's satan or Hitler reborn, but at the same time he's not some mentally handicapped person incapable of realizing his mistreatment of others. He's 32(?), coddled or not he DOES have some sense of right and wrong, even in a cartoon sense. I suppose one of the main reasons he continues to do what he does stems from his pride, speaking from experience, pride really makes you blind, and for someone who has it like Chris, it must be like looking into a projector. So for me, I don't support A-logging of course, but I will say that Chris has done some pretty despicable actions, oftentimes knowing full well what he was doing, and that's what annoys me.

A-logging isn't just saying "oh, Chris is a bad person." We say that kind of thing all the time, here.
A-logging is saying, "CHRIS IS WROSE TEHN HITLAR OMFG!!!!!1! KILL TEH AUSTITIC FCUK!"

Of course Chris is Hitlar! I mean, they both killed jews, homos and other "undesirables".

Not only is Chris "not Hitler" as is commonly noted, but I'm sure there are other LOLcows (not just A-log himself) who have done far worse things than Chris. I personally believe Chris does the stuff he does because he doesn't know any better (due to autism), while others seem to take pleasure in hurting other people.

Yeah so basically, anyone who intentionally hurts someone else (physical harm, online harassment, etc.) is an even worse person than Chris. Chris is largely incapable of harming other people. Except when behind the wheel of a car, of course.

The most dangerous lolcows are those with power. Whether it's over a country (NKorea), over other people (Cult leaders, writers), over their children (Fundamentalists, Westboro, Muslim extremists, bad parents in general, and Borb), or over a car (Chris). Thankfully, unless Chris ends up having children, he can't ruin anyone else's lives unless he tard rages with a car again.

There is no defense of A-logging. At least not when it comes to Chris.



I see some of you considering Kim Jong-un a lolcow...

Is Chris incapable of knowing what he's doing? Does his autism absolve him from responsibility? I'm not gonna pretend to know the answers. All I know is this. I have a friend who is possibly just as autistic as Chris, has a fondness for video games, anime, lives with his parents, you name it, but holds down a job and nearly has a college degree, but most importantly, has a solid sense of morality. Not that I consider the morality part to be some great feat, as I have know people who are genuinely retarded who have a firm grasp on the concept of right and wrong. Even if autism is to blame for a great deal of it, I feel it can never totally absolve him from moral responsibility.

For example, Chris is mentally competent enough to complete school, not special ed, but normal classes, in a normal amount of time without repeating grades, get a degree, even if it took him longer than usual (I suspect this is due to his shenanigans at the college rather than it being genuinely challenging), and competently do day-to-day things. Many people believe that he is even competent enough to hold down a job, and that is was just his dumb behavior, nor his autism or any inherent limitations, that got him fired from Wendy's.

All in all, autism doesn't equal Adam Lanza. I know it's a common A-Log defense that "autism doesn't excuse a horrible person," but like I said, I'm not necessarily defending A-Logging, just what elements of the logic that are sound.

I don't know if it's the autism or how he was raised (or the impact of one on the other), but it's not Chris' ability to function in real life that's affected that much. It's just that he has the most bizarre thought patterns about himself and his place in the world. And I couldn't believe that someone could think that way naturally. It's some seriously nutty stuff.

I must confess I have many a-log fantasies about Chris, like nailing him to a cross and set him on fire, but then I realize that's even crazier than Chris. To me a-logging steams from the hatred we feel when we compare ourselves with Chris and see our own failures magnified on him.

let he who is without sin cast the first stone

I like Chris but why would anyone compare themselves to him? Is he a litmus test? He's a retarded guy on the internet. He's a person and if you think he's a "bad" one come and ride along with me for a day and see some of the lovely folk I deal with. Chris isn't that bad. Relax.

Also, "failures" are part of life. It happens to everyone. I've never thought of Chris because something didn't work out for me. If you have personal "failures" that are somehow magnified by a retarded guy on the internet I don't know what to tell you. Set the bar higher for yourself I suppose.

I haven't really been here long enough to know, but I haven't seen too many people here who defend Chris without plausible reason. They all acknowledge that he's done pretty bad things and that he refuses to acknowledge his faults, but, no matter what, he's a person in the end. He is not a great person and definitely does not garner respect, but he's still a person all the same. That at least should keep people from A-logging in the first place. But anonymity is tempting and so, too, is the chance to mess with Chris through it.

It's understandable, too, to feel annoyed about what Chris' done to others and that he hasn't really been corrected for it; that he gets off easy compared to someone else who could've been in his shoes. But at the same time, you have to look at where he is right now. Look at his most recent picture. He's abandoned his church, possibly even his 'faith.' I think that the life he's living, if you really even want to call it that, is all the bad things he's done coming back and biting him in the butt. I wish I could convey without leaving a text wall how truly miserable his life must be already; it doesn't need people demanding his suicide or dreaming up cruel and unusual punishments.

His life really isn't as bad as he makes it seem. He has no responsibilities at all, and the government pays him for sitting on his ass every month. He doesn't consider himself a failure or feel any guilt for leeching off welfare either. Right now, he's only miserable because he can't force a girl to become his sweetheart, and he's paranoid of trolls. Small price to pay for never having to work past the age of 25. He could continue his easy lifestyle for the rest of his life if it wasn't inevitable that he's going to squander all of his money on video games. And while he'll never have a sweetheart, it's still not too late for him to get some social interaction.

As long as he has a roof over his head, he's not even close to rock bottom.
