Uh…can we start Chriscourse?
I don’t like the way he had only 12 players at that abandoned film lot. It always felt empty and eerie, like add some more contestants and less filler reward challenges 🙄

Chris Chan has got to be one of the most documented people in the internet. I can't imagine having almost every detail of my life for the whole world to see even though I haven't done horrible things like Chris has
god I know right. the idea of everything being that documented... it's honestly eerie as hell. no matter what Chris Chan does or tries, it's all being watched and documented and analysed and man. to think she could have avoided all this if she had just unplugged the internet in like, 2007.
right now I'm still in the early stages, like 17 videos in or so. at the moment I just feel desperately sorry for her. I'm not sure what fucked up shit she might do going forward, and of course I know about the incest charges which is yikes all on its own, but at the moment I can't help but feel desperately sorry for her. like, it's funny in a car crash way, but it's also really not funny at all. right now she's just this autistic young adult living with two abusive parents, who's being harassed by dozens of people online. because of her autism she's incapable of being able to identify trolls until it's far too late, and then more trolls befriend her and she falls for the exact same tricks again because she's inherently too trusting and can't tell when people are being sarcastic or when they're actually ridiculing her. at the moment her closest friend is a girl named Kacey, who's trying to give Chris "advice" to better her life, and on the surface it's all solid advice -- get a job, exercise more, eat healthier, etc -- but it's all designed to set Chris up for more ridicule, and no matter what progress Chris reports, Kacey twists it and uses it to ridicule her and trash her confidence. earlier on I listened to a phone call recording where Chris's mother was caught berating Chris and emotionally manipulating her in the background, and when Chris got back on the line to Kacey, Kacey took Chris's mother's side and started also berating Chris for the same thing. it's honestly so fucked up -- like underneath all the inherent hilarity that comes from a situation so fucking weird, it's impossible to ignore the fact that this is an account of the long-term emotional abuse of a deeply vulnerable adult. whatever Chris might have done in the future, I firmly believe that there's a strong case to be made for the fact she was driven to this point. the constant trolling and the fact that she cannot trust anybody in her life to be who they say they are has created a deep rift between Chris and reality, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's been driven to honest to god clinical psychosis because of all the stress and torment.
if it had just been brief -- a spate of the earlier trolling at the beginning, where they teased her a bit about Sonichu and convinced her she was in a chat with Billy Mays or whatever, that would have been fine. everyone was getting trolled like that back in the day. but at some point it veered away from trolling and went into literal torture. like, I'm going to go under the cut here because this got suddenly serious on an ask that's pretty casual (sorry about that), but it's been bothering me since I saw it and I have to mention it now. sincere warning for anyone reading my Chris Chan documentary chronicles just for the lighter parts, because in my mind what I'm about to discuss is literal, actual torture of a disabled person.
the other day I watched the video where the trolls hacked into Chris's PlayStation account, which had a lot of games and progress she was obviously proud of. being autistic, she's obviously much more attached than these trolls can appreciate -- video games are clearly one of her special interests, and she understandably gets very distressed when the trolls threaten to sell the account. there's a whole bunch of convoluted stuff that happens, but the main event is that they use the leverage of the account to get Chris into doing shit to "win" it back. they end up making her cut her Sonichu medallion (a comfort item that she wears constantly) into four pieces, and stick the pieces up her ass. on video.
the video isn't shown on YouTube, obviously, but the audio is. in it, the trolls can be heard urging her on, insisting she stick it properly up there ("until I can't see it anymore", is how one of them put it). also captured on the audio is Chris, making sounds of pain and also apparently crying, which she is then ridiculed for.
I mean. I was genuinely disturbed by this, as I'm sure most people with even a smidgen of a conscience would be. this is sexual abuse. this is torture. this is not trolling, this is not doing something "for the lulz". this is a small group of genuine psychopaths banding together long after the regular trolling is done, to torture a person who is incapable of defending herself and who has no responsible adult in her life to protect her from people like this. this shit, when compared to legitimate harmless trolling like Liquid Chris, who winds Chris up but never actively harms her (at least to what I've seen so far) and is so ridiculous that everybody can see through it (even Chris herself, who knows that Liquid Chris is a faker and isn't being deceived by Liquid Chris in any way), is night and day. Liquid Chris is genuine trolling, the kind that aims to get you mad and then goes no further. what these other people are doing is abuse and torture. they're clearly a core group of individuals who realised they had an easy target and decided to take advantage of it, and they're all honest to god sociopaths. they should face charges for this shit.
I apologise for getting serious on this post, but I need to be honest here. as much as I'm enjoying the drama and the more ridiculous and admittedly hilarious bits of this story, between all the tamer pieces of legitimate trolling is a serious case of ableism. vulnerable adults like Chris are abused like this every day, and the fact that this can be so well-documented online and still nobody did anything to help her is absolutely astounding. because Chris is "cringe", everybody seemed to collectively decide that she deserved this treatment, when really at the end of the day she began as an autistic teenager who was super passionate about her OC and wanted to upload comics about him online. like. that was her only crime, and it ended like this.
just... god damn.

Throwing my two penneth in, I think Chrissie made for a great frenemy for Robert post break up and I liked their hostile dynamic and honestly Rebecca wasn't really needed bc Chrissie was a better developed character and right there (also she was the closest to knowing who Robert really was (even though she didn't really know at all) behind Aaron and it was always fun when she called him out on his bullshit)

Mrs Frizzle, or "The Frizz" as the kids like to say, was busy teaching an important lesson about the birds and the bees or the circle of life or something and left The Magic School Bus in charge of navigation. Distracted by everyone laughing at one of Ralph's famous zingers, the Bus - or "the bussy" as you have referred to it in messages with me - accidentally hits a sad pedestrian. Would the bus be tried for manslaughter or would Mrs Frizzle instead? I would like to hear your thoughts.
The Magic School Bus is, of course, a classic introduction to the Freudian model of the psyche. Despite her penchant for being a little bit wacky, Ms. Frizzle is a relatable human face and therefore serves as a stand-in for the concept of the ego, the realistic part of the psyche that acts as the go-between for the id and the super-ego.
Elizabeth Savannah “Liz” Frizzle, The Frizz’s pet lizard, is the id. The id contains our aggressive and sexual motivations, i.e. our “lizard brain.” We never hear Liz speak, but she is shown consistently perched like the proverbial devil on Ms. Frizzle’s shoulder.
This leaves the super-ego, aka our moral conscience, which is represented by the bus. Sometimes Ms. Frizzle drives the bus herself, and sometimes the bus runs on auto-pilot. In either case, the bus is responsible for ensuring the safety of an entire class of 4th graders on a regular basis.
The implication here is that the bus is both morally driven and capable of self-directed action. This suggests that a) we must consider the possibility that the bus was fully aware of its actions and that this was no accident, and b) we must look at the context of the situation as well as the identity of the pedestrian to understand the bus’s decision.
With this in mind, I would like to propose an alternate solution to The Trolley Problem:
The “sad pedestrian” here was, in fact, the person operating the switch in The Trolley Problem. No one is tied to the trolley tracks until the question is posed, which means that the philosopher who poses the question is also guilty of putting the people on the tracks in the first place. If the philosopher is activating the switch on the audience’s behalf, then the sad pedestrian and the ill-intentioned philosopher are one and the same.
Clearly, the bus recognized what was at stake and acted in everyone’s best interest. By slamming into the philosopher at exactly the right angle and speed, the bus sent him flying into the overhead electrical lines that power the trolley, shorting them out and activating the trolley’s emergency brake. The bus saved the lives of everyone on the tracks and ended the philosopher’s reign of terror.
In short, the bus is tried for vehicular manslaughter, but the jury is sympathetic and the charges don’t stick. After the trial is concluded, Phoebe is heard muttering at the back of the courtroom. “At my OLD school, sentient buses were ALWAYS given corporal punishment!”

gonna be honest, i'm really tired of people brushing off sexual harassment because somebody is autistic. I was harassed endlessly by someone who everyone thought was just harmless and autistic, who kept getting away with it because he was autistic, and I'm finding out now that he raped his younger cousin who was a child. as an autistic person can we stop acting like we don't know any better.
idk if this is directed at me re: the Chris Chan discourse, or if this is just a general rant, but for the record I totally agree with you.
in terms of Chris specifically, I'd like to reiterate once more that I'm not excusing her behaviour. I was just illustrating the difference in context. Chris is severely autistic, and as autism is a spectrum there are genuinely some people out there who cannot learn safe boundaries. in this situation, it's up to the person's caregivers to protect others from that person's behaviour. Chris's parents failed those women in that respect, and the caregivers of the person who harassed you also failed you. the reason I was pointing out the different context with Chris was not to defend her actions but rather because there were people in my inbox acting like she was an intentional predator doing it for creepy predator reasons, and not a severely autistic person who was incapable of learning otherwise and had nobody to set things right -- and because of this misconception, these anons were insinuating that Chris deserved the horrific abuse and torture I'd previously outlined. that's... just not on, imo.
in terms of a general rant, and going on from something I touched on above, I think it's important that people consider the fact that even if somebody is autistic, or mentally ill, or has a personality disorder, etc, they can still cause harm. there are people out there with these issues who do cause harm, and while some of them are genuinely incapable of understanding or preventing it, others are. some will even use their issues as an excuse. increasingly online, talking about any negative harmful behaviour in the context of any of these issues is seen as "demonising [issue]", but this uniform assumption also causes harm. if people had been more pragmatic about your concerns, they would have been capable of understanding that a person can be both a) autistic and b) dangerous, but unfortunately a lot of people see that as ableist. what is ableist is seeing somebody with a certain issue and assuming that they will act that way ("all autistic people are clueless and will harass me", for example), but being aware of the nuances is not ("some autistic people might not understand boundaries and therefore could harm me"). as soon as it became clear that the person who harassed you was in the latter group, people should have stepped in. I'm not sure why they didn't, but I know that attitudes these days often make people either reluctant to speak out for fear of being accused of ableism, or unable to speak out because they're met with attitudes like what you experienced.
it's an uncomfortable fact that a lot of people for some reason don't like to admit, but there are people out there with autism or with mental illnesses or other issues who are dangerous, and they are scary. they genuinely do not know better. acting like it's ableist to be frightened of an autistic person who cannot understand "no" invading your personal space and touching you, or that it's ableist to be frightened of a psychotic person on the subway who's raving about things and seems likely to get violent, is ridiculous. fighting ableism is not the ability to act like these things aren't happening, and to yell others down for sharing their contrary experiences. fighting ableism and avoiding being ableist yourself is the ability to understand that these things can and do happen, that some people fall on the side of spectrums where they are dangerous and they do need special care, but to understand that they are deserving of care and empathy and a safe place even if they're scary or violent or "creepy". it is unfortunate that people get hurt by this behaviour, but if more people were aware of said behaviour and less people acted like it was the height of ableism to acknowledge that sometimes people with disabilities can be dangerous or violent, there would be more in place to assist with this issue. "he's autistic; he can't help it" shouldn't mean "so we'll let him continue and turn a blind eye". it should mean "so we will remove him to a safe environment where he's unable to continue this harmful behaviour". that is the difference; that is what should have happened with the situation you described, and that is what should have happened with Chris.
I am very sorry that happened to you, and if what I was saying did seem like I was defending similar behaviour, I apologise. I hope I've managed to make myself clear, both for you and for other people who might have interpreted it in a similar way. if this was just a general rant, then yeah. I totally get it.

Describe the three most desirable traits you possess?
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him—and I didn’t know how potent that part might be—that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

Sexiest person of the year is...
"drum roll please..."
The reporters sat in front of the podium, phones in hand, half crafted tweets ready to hit send. They just needed one last detail for completion: the name of this year’s sexiest man. In front of them a grey-haired man stepped towards the podium and smiled as he started to rip open the envelope.
He pulled the card gingerly from the envelope and took a moment to read the card - obviously to stretch out the anticipation of the moment. He smiled widely as he leaned in to the microphone, "and the sexiest person of the year is... Chris."
The silence after the word Chris hung there for a moment, but quickly shouts of "who?" and "which one?" started up. Eventually one loud voice broke through causing the rest of the gallery to quiet down.
The reporter stood to make sure she was heard as she asked "which Chris? Pine? Hemsworth? Evans? Pratt?"
The grey haired man smiled and said a single word.
"Yes."
----
TMZ was the first to report that it was in fact Chris Evans that had won. One of their young reporters with something to prove broke into a convenience store and stole the box of magazines that had been delivered for sale the next day.
But in the morning quickly that story disintegrated.
The Eastern seaboard was first to rise and Twitter users in New York City were sharing pictures of a cover with Chris Rock on the cover - many with openly mocking comments at TMZ for getting it wrong. But as more and more people woke up and went to about their daily routine more covers were discovered.
Chicago had Chris Pine on the cover. Many of the Texas towns had Chris Hemsworth. Florida residents were posting pictures where Chris Tucker was on the cover. TMZ in fact was right and wrong. Chris Evans was on the cover, but only for those in California.
All across Canada the copies of People had Chris Hadfield on the cover.
It was unclear if some people had found rare copies. Someone from Missouri posted a selfie of themselves with Christopher Walken on the cover. Someone named Chris Larkin from a CW post-apocalypse show was found on some covers in Seattle. A 30 year old woman from Indiana with tears in her eyes joyfully put up a snap of her and her cover with Chris Kirpatrick - her favourite from N’Sync had finally gotten recognition.
Weirdest of all was the seasonal copy with “Kris Kringle” on the cover.
But one thing was for certain. That year, the sexiest man was Chris.
#Chris Evans#Chris Pratt#Chris Hemsworth#Chris Pine#Chris Rock#Chris Tucker#Christopher Walken#chris hadfield#chris kirkpatrick#People#People's Sexiest Man#Last night's late night story time#i wrote this#sorry not sorry#Anyways People you missed out by not taking advantage of the Chriscourse
