Containment What will happen when Barb dies? -

This made me realize something pretty morbid. When Barbs health starts to fail Chris will probably neglect her care like he neglects everything else... He'll hear her wailing in agony from her bedsores, or because he hasn't changed her adult diapers in weeks, and probably think to himself that Blazebob Sonichu or whoever will come take care of her for him. And I know that Chris doesn't really believe in the dimensional merge, and knows that Sonichu isn't real, but he still uses them as a desperate excuse to avoid taking action in the present.
I wonder if Chris will have any charges of elder abuse in the future, adding to the list of run-ins with the law. I can definitely see him forgetting to feed her, wash clothes for her and not knowing generally how to care for an elderly person. Oh lord what if she falls. He doesn't have any muscles.

What's worse is that he is going to be 100% aware of Barb's problems at that point and he will absolutely not show her on camera anymore so people don't see what he's doing or so people can do something about it, call services, etc. But I can see him showing her in a way that doesn't make the neglect too obvious (like tell her to shut up before recording, put the pile of diapers aside, etc. - the woman is going to be so weakened that she simply won't oppose him) if that means more money begging videos and make people feel pity for them. After the video, he'll just leave her again and go back to his bubble.

Barb has always been a horrible neglectful person and, at least to me, it still feels bad to see what's gonna happen to her.

It is karmic, if you believe that. And you reap what you sow. I don't think Barb would ever realize that this is what her life would turn out to be: going downhill with her sped of a son. She manipulated Chris to be her personal, obedient mule, and like the lolcow he is, the old mule can't work no more ("work" in terms of doing Barb's bidding).

No, I agree completely. It's just the poor weak old lady effect that makes me feel some pity but it's true that this is simply pure karma.

I'm not going to say this is impossible, but it's highly unlikely unless his team of abusers at the time specifically brainwashes him into ignoring Barb's suffering. Which could happen, but left to his own devices Chris will take care of Barb to the best of his ability and call for help if he can't manage.

It's what she gets for being a manipulative shrew her whole life and I can't say I really feel any pity for her.

We've seen Chris' reaction in the past to thinking Barb is dying. At the very least I think Chris will call for help if he can't handle it anymore.

This might sound harsh but I think it'd be Barb's fault if she expects Chris to be able to look after her in any meaningful way, if she starts failing she should go in a home if that's possible, expecting a delusional autistic manchild to give her 24/7 care is naive in the extreme.

As others said, he might try to do it (and it really won't be the proper care) or he will just give up before starting and ask others for help so he can keep playing alone in peace.

Barb has dementia or at least showing signs of it, and Chris has attended some half ass class about caring for dementia patients I recall.

Barb will get worse, dementia is pretty terrible to witness but it can also be wildy different in regards to how a person acts when nearing their final moments. Some can be very hostile, vocal, and animated but some are very silent and "empty". I imagine barb will wither away sipping on her ensure diet until she dies in her sleep at home, or in a hospital bed if she groans enough to get his attention in the days leading up to her visit from the reaper. Hopefully Chris actually checks on her daily without her needing to beckon for him, otherwise he could discover her corpse missing a few pieces from where the beagles and cats decided to feed from.

Do you have any more information about the class?

I did a search on the CWCki but couldn't find anything and if Chris has taken the effort to actually attend a class that implies there must be more going on that hasn't been made public.

Not sure Barb has such great foresight about issues regarding Chris and his own wellbeing. When her time is up on this planet, she likely isn't going to care about the aftermath of her passing, because she has little else to pass onto someone else, her emotional attachment to anyone outside of Chris is shakey at best and no one else (yes I would say even Cole) is going to partake in any sort of burial/ funeral procession, she has no real motivation to provide Chris with any sort of guidance in any sense, and as heartless as it seems, she's perfectly okay with passing away and doing absolutely nothing at all to help her own son when he would be at one of his saddest points in his life in quite some time.

Now is it naïve for her to think that her son is perfectly equipped to care for her when she starts hitting severe dementia territory and her body starts failing on her? well Chris has mostly managed with her so far right? We don't know how exactly their day to day interactions are with each other and if Chris is frequently checking in on her from time to time in the house (he'd likely be far too paranoid about completely neglecting any of her important needs and necessities) she doesn't think that her circumstances about withering away into a vegetable aren't going to become a huge predicament for Chris, so it raises no concern for her, and Chris (in his usual lazy misguided attitude) would try and just treat her the same as he always has been, probably with a little bit more care, whatever that may end up being.

But can it present a bit of a problem for Chris? well it most certainly can, and you are correct that Barb should be more mindful about what her condition will be in the near future, but if she doesn't care that her own son is off dreaming about Goddess powers and living in fairy land all day, the thought about letting him know that she may need some assisted living in the near future wouldn't even cross her mind, at all.

Not off the top of my head but if I recall he ranted about attending it on Twitter, and of course as is customary he made it about himself and sperged about him having dementia or something, as far as I can remember I read about it here on the farms, likely in the random updates thread.

Chris being an utter fuckup is largely her own doing. She's getting exactly what she made inevitable through her own short-sighted stupidity and selfishness. She's also so obstinate that if she doesn't die in a hospital, she's not going to go to any kind of assisted living facility. She'd rather die at home eaten by bugs than do that, I'm pretty sure.

I genuinely wonder how big the thread on Barbs death will be. Plenty of oldfags will post, obviously, but there’s a huge (maybe even a majority?) section of the sites user base that literally knows nothing about OPL. I’m sure we’ll get a blogpost and stream from Null, at the least.
One thing is for certain, just like the lumberjack, kiwis will show far more respect to ol' borbachu's passing than Chris will.

I don't remember the Bob thread but I bet the Barb one will be a lot bigger, even when nobody will be sadder about it in comparison. Also, given her presence in his life as opposed to Bob, there's also the added fact that Chris will be finally alone and that will leave a LOT of room for discussion.

Bobs death marked a dramatic drop in ween behavior. I feel like barbs will invigorate a lot of the more spiteful/“evil” twitter and discord zoomers into overdrive. A lot of people are going to double down to try to “break” Chris.

How has a governing body not stepped in and put them both into some nursing home or something like that? It’s clear they can’t take care of themselves. They live in mounds of trash that make their house uninhabitable by any sane person. I suspect since nothing been done yet, Barbra will be carried off by the roaches never to be seen again, and Chris will shit his pants and do nothing.
