The whole phenomenon of Internet dipshits rubbernecking at Chris-Chan's life is one of the most depressing things in the history of online culture. There are probably kids into this pointless spectacle today who were born after the "saga" (fuck off) started.
I am very blessed to have no idea what this means, and I thought I was terminally online.
please god, never look into this and pretend u never saw this post
Bored teenagers discover weird person with autism who posts cringe things online. Said teenagers quickly notice said person is very easy to troll and egg on to do embarrassing things online and offline.
Said trolling and egging on continues for 15 years and every bit of it is documented by people (read: assholes) who consider themselves scholars of the subject
Chris chan has been around for almost 20 years and likely has a cornucopia of mental conditions which the people who ruin her life as a personal hobby enjoy preying on. She's "really" into Sonic and has written extensive fan fictions about her own characters, and through various bad actors feeding into her grand delusions convinced her these characters existed in another dimension.
The whole thing also spawned an entire subculture of sociopaths looking for new "cringe" people to harrass
Behind the Bastards goes into her history a bit in the "internet is a bastard" episode.
Was the last BtB episode I listened to, seems like half of the airtime on any of Evan's podcasts is spent complaining about tankies anymore.
His spinoff "It Could Happen Here" that's largely hosted by a couple other people now regularly complain about tankies to the point I felt like I was just listening to posts from r/VaushV or r/tankiejerk.
It's kind of annoying to actually live in a world where tankies don't exist, politically speaking, but 99% of the ranty-complainyness targets them. I guess I should pass on that series then.
The first set of episodes where Evan's is narrating what societal collapse would like is fine. They changed the format to broader discussions after that and it was fine for a while until it became apparent Garrison spends a shit load of time on reddit.
Is that the little pipsqueak he adopted from the Portland protests
I only listened to the first "season" where Evan's using real world experiences to talk about a collapse in the US. It was haunting, but good.
Saw later it was getting more episodes and I wondered what it'd even been be about, disaster porn? Seemed like just trying to get more money off what was apparently a successful project. Like forcing a sequel.
How the hell are tankies even part of the focus? Disagree with them, ok, but they're not a big force now ( 😞 ) so why bother and in a collapse scenario, you're just preemptively creating enemies on the left who will almost certainly be doing their damnedest to help the worst affected and organize resistance to the actual horrors outlined in the first episodes? Fuuuuuck off, at least wait to shit on them till we're in the shit and people have to contend with some tankie formation existing and building power.
There are no communists in China. They’re all brainwashed to say they’re communist. Only capitalists can voluntarily say they like capitalism
Yeah that's never who people mean when they say tankie. They mean someone you don't like twitter.
Xi has control of the party but there are millions of liberals nonetheless
CIA funded plant posts anti-communist drivel, why is anyone surprised
I think this case is more due to the hosts suffering from being terminally online
He literally is an employee of bellingcat, which gets its funding from NED (CIA cut-out for funding color revolutions and US-aligned NGOs)
He’s US state sponsored media. There should be a disclaimer on all his work that it is funded in whole or in part by the CIA.

Bullying a mentally ill person who clearly needs help they arent getting, and making it a le epic meme. Nothing better crystallizes the cruelty of the internet spectacle
Fear of gangstalking is really understandable when you know Chris Chan and what she went through exist.
like, chris chan is fucked, but it really is insane how much time and effort and brainspace trans people take up in these peoples heads. we're like .7% of the population if we're being generous, only a fraction of that are visible, and look at all the legislation and vitriol targeted against us
I don't want to defend the Chris Chan harassers, but mocking Sonichu and general online bullying of Chris was a thing years before she came out as trans.
Of course, her coming out as trans threw a bunch of gas on the fire because the people cyber bullying an autistic person also turned out to be transphobes :shocked-pikachu:
Yeah, she wasn't out for the majority of her "popularity".
Internet dwellers have a long history of hating anyone who deviates from whatever they deem to be normal, see furries for the ur-example
Except instead of one or two shitheads who could be punished by the administration, or who you can get away from - it’s one million internet stalkers who will follow you for the rest of your life
One million people who are also far too old to be schoolyard bullies
I just called out an old friend yesterday for his hatred of the furry community. Luckily he is reasonable, and when I said "it sounds like you're misunderstanding the community at large" they acquiesced and admitted that they most likely are.
It's just such a pointless thing to get mad about, like hating Justin Bieber or something.
There's like a million gory flash animations on Youtube that are essentially just "what if the heckin' Space Marines did an Exterminatus on the furries"
Real 13-year-old mindset
His reasoning was "its gross to be sexually attracted to animals" and im just like "my brother in christ that is really not what its about here"
There are people who changed history whose lives aren't as documented as hers...
Chris chan is probably the most documented person in history.
Buckminster Fuller has her beat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_Chronofile
Chris-Chan is the most documented person who has no good reason to be documented.
It's a really thorough documentary at least. Chris-Chan is an important history to preserve because it's the most depraved example of parasocial relationships I can think of. By part 64 she's auctioning off possessions and making her obviously senile mother/victim say whatever Kiwifarms stalkers pay for to keep their mortgage funded. This story is the dark heart of the internet.
In 1000 years, Chris-Chan will be the most well attested 21st century person, with more known about their life than any other currently living person.
This 100%. Think I saw some RU wiki say something like she's the most documented person in history thus far, and I damn believe it. Everything that could have went wrong in her life did. I personally know people that went into ABA, psych, neuro, etc that were heavily influenced by the lack of support for her various conditions, but you're not going to see that on admissions essays anytime soon (oh plz no, keep it to yourself 'saviors').
When I was in the city there used to be this duo that liked to to cosplay as time travelers, that would dress up weird, one guy was always Colonel Sanders, and Chrischan was one of their favorite topics. They said she'd end up in a behavioral health facility of sorts, but this is America, our mentally ill almost always die of exposure in the streets regardless of how vulnerable, so I didn't believe a word they said after that.
Anyway, I like what the old discord bot used to say, STFU about Chrischan.
mfs be like "Imma make 100 hour long videos about chris chan" and then say "why don't girls like me"
Don't know who Chris Chan is and have no plans on doing so
I prescribe everyone that knows anything about this story a copious amount of grass touching ™.
Seriously I'm terminally online and even I don't know anything about this.
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
Hey Guys, GenoSamuel2.1 Here
Time to take another deep dive into CHRIS CHAN

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
God damn. I went down the Chris-Chan rabbit hole about 20 years ago and can't believe it's still going strong. They really aren't ever going to leave him alone are they?
Dunnow, she just changed her name to Christine & came out a few years back.
