Obviously. My point with what you were quoting was that, when people try to analyze Chris' statements and his behavior, to figure out what really went down, if they jump to "he's lying", they're not going to really have any idea of what happened, if anything. Whereas if you start with the assumption that Chris believes he's telling the truth, you can pick out kernels of facts from his incredibly biased presentation of the event. You can salvage truth from Chris' stories, is my point. Not by believing Chris, but believing Chris is giving the story in good faith, as far as he's capable of, anyway. It's a religious belief. Chris has bonkers beliefs. Chris thinks it's possible. "Possible" is as good as confirmed if it'll satisfy one of Chris' existing viewpoints.
Maybe I'm giving Chris too much credit, idk but this is akin with the "touching the poo" policy. If you are willing to get close to some exceptional individual with a mental issue, either ride with it or don't get close. We all know Chris doesn't get social cues and if the general public doesn't have the common sense of approaching the dude with caution knowing what could happen, it's hardly Chris's fault. He is a tard, he is dumb, doesn't get when he's in the wrong and he will not get better anytime soon. Don't approach the guy, it's easy. And if you do, be ready to tell him to stop it over and over again. You touched the poo, bare the smell. Edit: btw, I'm not saying he shouldn't be accountable for the shit he does, I'm only saying that people should know better... and that Chris really needs a wrangler.
I think it's either people trying not to be mean to the severely autistic man or giving subtle hints that would work on people without Chris's handicap.
I can get Chris imagining whatever moronic adventures he thinks he has on CWCVille and then trying really hard to convince himself that he just came back from another dimension when he opens his eyes. But then there is stuff like on that Count Dankula (or whatever his name was) interview where he claims that a shoddily painted pokeball was an honest to god S-Chu Ball and physical proof of CWCVille for realsies status. If that's not a blatant, intentional lie...Well, the fucker did go buy a pokeball and then probably spent and embarrassingly long amount of time painting it himself...if he really is deluded enough to believe otherwise (as opposed to plain old bullshiting around) that's another whole level of insanity. He may as well believe he can fly and jump face first from a roof.
He'd throw it at barb and say he totally caught a snorlax, and if you can't see it, then it's probably because you don't have your multidimensional contacts in or some shit.
There are so many layers to this. Yes, people approached Chris for physical contact, but due to his recent surge in infamy through people like PewDiePie, I highly doubt many of them really know his true depths like we do. I'm really curious what the tipping point was, and I'm assuming it spiraled from the initial report. They were probably already on edge about him, someone said the fat smelly troon kissed them not mentioning it was on the cheek, a game of telephone began and it turned into full blown damage control. Anyone who's been to a con knows how quickly word of mouth snowballs in a gathering of social invalids. And yeah, autists need to learn to respect personal boundaries as well as enforcing their own, but to anyone defending him kissing people need to take a bit of their own medicine. Its welcomed when it comes from someone with a modicum of familiarity, but I don't need a crayon drawing of Shrek with rank BO trying it. Read the room, both ways. Con stories, with or without Chris, are born from autist social chemistry. Eventually two shitty compounds are going to collide and cause a reaction. Also, nice to see he's owning the Classic. Really hoping to see this more.
From what we know, Chris probably to this day thinks Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is an honest to god documentary and his love of both The Lego Movie and Equestria Girls - both films that pretty much involve characters traveling to different versions of reality - only reinforce his belief that alternate cartoon dimensions are within his grasp. Amusingly, since CWCville only exists mostly in drawings, I'm sure there's a Myst joke that could be made here. But the reality is that deep down, Chris knows it's all bullshit, but if he believes hard enough, that belief will change the fabric of time and space and make his wishes come true. Except the ability to visit CWCville only was granted by the will of God(bearjesus) onto him and him alone and nobody else can even see how Chris travels across dimensions. Even if it was caught on camera. Nope, Chris once got a blowjob from a hooker years back.
you have no idea how true that is man. no fuckin idea. even today there were still some people talking about Chris. like all things considered, toomanygames shot themselves in the foot by not promoting him more, because he genuinely was the most interesting thing at that convention. sure, he kissed people without their consent (though I still stand by my opinion that if you're dealing with Chris, you really ought to know what you're getting yourself into and you shouldn't be surprised when he does something autistic), but surely this could have been handled in a better way.
@Null Hopefully your acquaintance can give him a good talk that'll really get through to Chris. Because judging by Chris' response so far, not only is he thinking he did nothing wrong, he's starting to drift towards his usual "THEY were picking on ME! It's kick the autistic again!" self-justification. He needs to break out of that thinking pattern. And the fact that this seems to be pushing him deeper into his "My totally real sonichu/pokemon headmates love me and that's all I care about!" delusion probably isn't a great thing. Slightly off-topic, have you asked him much about that? I'm legit concerned that the headmate thing could turn into serious mental illness sooner or later...
Agreed. I'm settin way too many people jumping to his defense, and it's just a tad squicky to see. His long documented history of inappropriate touching and borderline sexual assault tells you evening you need to know. Honestly, I'm just surprised he was invited at all. Do we know if he paid for his own ticket with money he doesn't really have, or if his "fans" enabled him yet again? Forgive me if that information is buried somewhere in the thread, it's a bit to wade through and still come out of it with your sanity intact.
Well of course he did. He never accepts responsibility for anything, no matter how egregious. He still thinks he was 100% for assaulting that GameStop employee. You know he's not gonna change. I'm earnestly torn, as such as the guy makes me feel, I don't want this crazy dance to ever end.
It's not going well. I don't think Chris wants to hear it, which is unfortunate, because I'm not going to vouch for him to any convention managers unless I am relatively certain the message is clear. In my opinion, as of right now, him attending conventions is an extremely serious legal liability for someone who is quickly exhausting the sympathy of the courts. We'll see if this point can be made more over time. I may ask other women he trusts to make the point as well.
I didn't even have to read the rest of that sentence to know that this is going nowhere. Chris is gonna forever be a laughing stock to some and one of the biggest creeps to the rest of the world if they hear about him. If he can't change now, or back then, he wont ever change.
I don't think "laughing stock" is the right word, dipshit. If he fucks this up again he can go to jail. Try to be less fucking awful.
Aww, that's cute. You think the facts matter when there's a cheap joke to be made. On a more serious note, I think having women talk to him is a good idea. He's less afraid of them, on average, and he wants to identify with them.
