Sympathy for Chris -

[Tim Buckley]

I made this topic just because I am kinda confused about my feelings about CWC, I would be glad to hear what you guys think about the nature of TRUE and HONEST symphaty for the guy, why he deserve it or why he doesn't.

Myself for example, there's part of me who would actually like to see him happier, confident and healthier even if he keeps being the same repugnant human being (we all know he won't change anyway). Let's take in consideration he is in the bottom, he is suffering and wouldn't be surprising if he gets depressed, now honestly, he has never hurted anyone (even if he would do it if he could).
Compare his stare

and now

But then there comes the fact that (even if we blame bad parenting like we could do to everyone in history) he is living in a self inflicted hell, he has only himself to blame and is beacuse of his stubborness that he won't get better, but is it "fair" for a hopless dumbass to be in perpetual emotional unease? soo... I don't know... we are not even talking about a (hilarious) fictional character but a real person, do you have empathy for the lolcow king that had make you laugh (and cringe) so many times? Can you describe it?

in simple words (sorry for the shitty way of expresisng myself): explain your feelings about CWC

Snyder would disagree with you there. I sympathize more with him for being harassed and smacked with a car by a manchild for several months (Years?) than I sympathize with Chris.

Yeah I kinda missed that, did Chris actually managed to hit Snyder with the car?

Re: Symphaty for Chris

It has reached a point where I genuinely feel sympathy towards Chris. Especially when I look at photos of him as a young child; that makes me quite sad. I know he brings most of this on himself but I hold the firm belief that had he been raised by parents who were willing to dedicate the time and attention needed to raise a disabled child, he'd have been much, much better off. In fact, he'd probably be on his own and holding down a job of some sort. Most of his shit behaviours can be traced back to Borb. A lot of people may disagree but I consider Chris to be a product of nurture rather than nature.
(I'm not trying to make excuses for the awful things he has done and said; I'm just acknowledging what I believe to be the root of those things.)

I wish he were less paranoid so he could let some people in, because there are folks out there who would like to help him. But it really is just too late now. His denial is so strong that he wouldn't take good advice if his life depended on it. And it kind of does.

Of course, I say all this and then I read what he posts about marriage equality or what he wrote to his church and I go back to wanting to give him a proper slap.

I agree. Most of Chris' actions were due to the fact that he wasn't properly taught how to function in society.

Re: Symphaty for Chris

I've always seen Chris like a little kid.
A little retarded angry little kid.
I can't bring myself to hate him, every time I do I remember that he's really been thru a lot of shit.
He's the result of his parents, parents that didn't wanted to hep him because it was too much work.
He's the result of trolls that have been harassing him for who knows how many years, creating sagas and manipulating his life.

Honestly, I'm one of those people that wished Chris would've listened to white knights.
I wanted to see him happy at the end, realizing he can't have everything he wants, that he's no superman, that he has mistakes, etc.
But that's not gonna happen.
So, I enjoy his misery but I don't wish it.

It's a weird feeling.
I'm ambivalent I guess, I can enjoy his misery because he deserves it (in the sense that he had a chance to change everything), but I would also enjoy him being happy. (happy, not being a smug)

Someone definitely hit him with the car. Either Chris, Barb, or both.

Most of his shit behaviours can be traced back to Borb. A lot of people may disagree but I consider Chris to be a product of nurture rather than nature.

Even if his upbringing is to blame for him being a terrible person, it doesn't change the fact that he's a terrible person.

Re: Symphaty for Chris

He's spent most of his life never really having to face reality because so many people have felt bad for him. Chris looks back at high school with such fondness because a group of girls pitied him enough to let him hang out with them at lunch. Chris regularly got praise for doing a crappy job due to sympathy. Chris doesn't appreciate sympathy, he expects it.

I wouldn't be surprised if his sad, lonely, and miserable act is just another attempt at getting sympathy. Maybe he decided his autistic virgin with rage act doesn't work anymore, since he's no longer a virgin.

 

[CatParty]

whenever he gets a smidgen of sympathy from me, he tends to open his mouth and make awful posts like the gay marriage post or the church note. he's done everything to himself. at this point the shit parents are on the backburner. in my view, even as he's complaining that he's so lonely, he's subconsciously pushing everyone away. but i do not hate him, in fact i hope some day he has that revelation to better himself. but at this point i do not care about his problems because the majority of them are self inflicted and he won't make any necessary steps to fix them because of his huge ego. he feels like the world owes him and that literally everything should be done for him by others. and since i'm kind of a sadist and a dick, i'm appreciative that we can be there as he crashes and burns

 

[Anchuent Christory]

I feel sympathy for his upbringing, I've always made this clear. I can't think of a worse way to raise an a child with autism and even if he were a normal child, Borb would still have been crap parents. Also from what we know of Barb, she seems to be a pretty horrible person full stop. Chris was always gonna turn out a bit fucked up.

However... His immense egotism and sense of superiority, vile homophobic attitude, racist tendencies, sheer laziness, and revolting hygiene are all his. He's a grown man and has been for some years now,but he still expects the world to hand everything to him on a silver platter. His recent message to his fellow church goers makes it clear that he views everybody else as some kind of servant who's primary duty is to sort his life out for him. His utter belief that he's always right causes him to charge into disaster again and again like a toddler running into a patio door.

So overall, not really.

( edit.yay, I'm a pedofork!)

 

[DykesDykesChina]

What makes me feel sympathy is the fact that he is in fact NOT a grown man, but a huge mantoddler. Chris expects everyone to cater to his will in the same way a three year old does. He never grew up (except biologically) because it wasn't expected of him. We're talking about a man here who ran around in an Ash Ketchum costume into his late teens and played pokeymans with kids half his age.

So Chris is not an evil man but a spoiled child who is prone to temper tantrums. As such, he may be unpleasant, but not downright evil. We should cut him a little slack...

 

[Satoru182]

I feel sorry for this guy really, because he never got the help he needed to cope with autism. All because stingy ingnorant Borb wanted him mainstreamed.

Ever since I have been reading about him Im wishing for CWC to have a epiphany, to realise that is not too hard to improve himself, to start by losing weight. I still hold the hope that we gonna see a Rebuilt Saga.

I guess am a slow in da minds...

 

[Judge Holden]

Why do I get the urge to CWCify the lyrics of Sympathy for the Devil now?

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

My sympathy is contingent on whether he knows better or not. That's the thing, I don't know if he is the way he is because he just doesn't know any better or if he does but he's just taking the path of least resistance. If he just doesn't know any better, then yes, I feel bad for him. If he knows what he's doing is wrong but does it anyway, I don't feel bad for him because he's doing it all to himself. All he has to do is ask the right people an he'll get help.

But yeah, he looks completely miserable and defeated in the OP.

 

[Xanatos]

I don't nor have I ever felt sympathy for Chris. I've never truly hated him either (aside from maybe the times where he posted vids every day almost). This is likely because I don't live near or interact with Chris in RL. To me, he's this thing put on the planet for the internet's amusement and, as such, is more like a cartoon character to me than man. Twisted and autistic. If I lived near him, I'd likely have a stronger emotional response.

I can't say for certain, but just from what you can read about him on the Cwcki, I have a strong impression that he really does know what he's doing is wrong, but in his mind it's not wrong if HE does it. I don't necessarily hate him, but one of the things about him that pisses me off the most is his appalling level of hypocrisy. That combined with his total lack of empathy for other people is why I have great difficulty feeling any real sympathy for the way his life has turned out, even though I do find it to be tragic on some level.

 

[wikiwikipedia]

My feelings toward him are evenly divided between pity and incredulity.

I can't help but feel bad for the person he's become because it's partially because his parents allowed him to exist in a world where he was infallible

But I also can't believe he continues to act like a petulant child who wasn't allowed a cookie all the while expecting different results. It's been so ingrained in him that it's him vs the world that he thinks genuine advice (especially from outsiders) is wrong and bad.

Like several posters have said, the minute I start feeling more pity for him than disbelief, he does something stupid or cruel. It's a vicious cycle.

 

[Chrus Chundlur]

I actually pity him, but he still has demonstrated time after time that he really is a horrible person, so he deserves most of what happens to him.

I pity him for a lot of reasons, for example, he never had any real friends, and thats really sad. Worst of all, he isnt even aware of this...wich leads to my second point...

He isnt aware of well....of anything, he lives in a complete lie (some self-told and some not but believed by him due to dang got mental block)

His parents and the people around him never expected anything from him, so they pampered his smelly ass for every half-assed crap he did. Just look at his high-school "art", people around him told him that he was very talented for that kind of shit and because of autism he never questioned those compliments or his own skills.

I commented on this before some time ago, but beneath his high school "art" crap there are some drawings that show some potential, but he was never encouraged on improving or even learning some technique, since to people around him just the fact that he was able to use a pencil without accidentally eye gouging himself with it is practically a miracle.

Who knows? Maybe when he did the infamous "Sonic totem" he actually thought "Hmmmm...yeah...dis didnt turn out so good" (I know, maybe im giving melon-head too much credit here, but who knows?) and then Borb or some well-meaning teacher told him that it was geinus and he ran with it.

To me, the worst thing that trolls ever did to Chris, the most damaging in the long term, is making him believe that Sonichu had a legion of fans.

Without the make-believe legion of fans, most probably he would still think Sonichu was a piece of art anyways, but his "fans" increased his delusions to absurd levels...maybe without that he would have employed the very little and half farted efforts used on Sonichu on something more productive. In any case, the last thing Chris needs is people feeding his insane delusions.

Whatever little potential Chris may have had is forever lost at this point.

Instead we have a near literal manbaby who thinks that whatever rant he posts on youtube or facebook will magically reach his destination, be it some famous actor/actress, CEOs of the top videogame companies, or whoever, because it makes perfect sense to him that every fucking person in the world the first thing they do every day after breakfast is google "Christian Weston Chandler", when in reality he is just an insignificant village idiot only famous between...well, pretty much just us...tragic irony...

TL;DR version

I could point out more examples and rant for hours, but summing up, Chris is a deluded fuck who never on his fucking life was taken seriously by anybody (and never will be), and the fact that he isnt even aware of this is extremely sad to me.

And yeah, he is a terrible person by his own choice (even if -again- he doesnt even realize it) but even his he was a good guy I'd enjoy his wacky shenanigans anyways

Seeing Chris fail is kind of a guilty pleasure I guess. It never ceases to amaze me his capability of not being able to do even the simplest of things right.

I think I feel simpathy for him and at the same time...I dont, if that makes sense

Nah, he's definitely had some real friends.
