We've all heard the A-Logging and all of the reasons in the universe as to why Chris is a bad person.
But still, here we are for five years, still talking about him, picking him apart to see how he ticks, and obviously missing him very much because he's a one in a billion kind of guy, and we don't want to admit that he's going away, his life is miserable and decaying, he'll never be the same again, and he's raised the bar for lolcows so high, no one will even compare.
Chris brought us smiles, laughter, and joy. He was fascinating. Some people would say "at least I'm not him", and I pity those people. For one thing, not only is that pathetic, they're also missing the point. Chris exists to be fascinating and hilarious, not to make you feel better about yourself. He's a distraction from all of the mundane boring shit, something truly weird and new, even with his Sonic recolors and unoriginal comic. There was still something /different/ about his.
If you went to school with him and had information from the future that this awkward little clownshirted weirdo was Da Big See Dubya Say, you'd probably be friends with him just to have a good look at him, and maybe a glimpse into his mind and life. Probably shield him from bullies and later on, Julayfags, so as to keep his ego nice and fat, the way you'd shield your garden from bugs that tried to eat it.
I'm assuming most of you would.
So anyway, enough rambling. I'd say I like Chris, obviously. Same way I like The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Of course he's no role model or an admirable person in any way, he's something else entirely. I think most people were drawn to him by his innocence, and how it was weirdly combined with perversion, and some other things.
I could never hate Chris. All of those years of smiles and laughter! He truly is a gift from God.
