I feel bad for Chris-Chan.

The Internet can be a really great or really dangerous place. The trolling that Chris-Chan has had to face for the past seven to eight years highlights the dangers of the Internet. "Autism," a clinical diagnosis, has been used as the new and so-called "cute" ableist slur, and apparently 4chan appropriated it as a result of Chris-chan's naivety and use of his condition as why he behaves the way he does.

 

But you know what? I don't care if Chris has been sexist or doesn't understand the concept of transgender. There's no good reason to be a troll, period! It takes a special dose of scumbag to troll him. And it takes an ever bigger dose of scumbag on top of it to claim he deserves to be trolled. How do you feel if you were stalked for hundreds of hours, lured to reveal a lot about your life, researched you even more, and then posted every single thing about your life on websites dedicated to mocking you and doxxing you? Not fun now, is it? That's what happened to Chris-chan; hundreds of hours were spent to not give him any privacy. Why? To borrow one of the most pathetic excuses to troll (and one of the worst online memes of all-time): "for the lulz."

 

Trolling isn't cute or funny. It's sadistic. The cyberbullying of Chris-Chan and the victim-blaming to go along with it proves Mr. Enter's point about how modern online trolling shouldn't be celebrated, condoned, ignored, or tolerated. The whole saga is one of the saddest cases of online trolling I've ever seen and is one reason why I wouldn't mind if modern trolling becomes a felony.

While I do agree, I'm just gonna say this:

 

Christopher Weston Chandler is a pitiful asshat who honestly thinks he can get away with anything simply because he's autistic. Listen "Chris-chan", life just ain't gonna hand you everything on a silver platter and forgive you for your sins simply because you're disabled. As a person who is autistic himself, I had to learn this the hard way. And if you ask any of my family members, they'll say I've improved over the past 6 years. 

 

...I'd rant further, but I feel I've made my point.

The bullying and trolling is way to extreme. However, Chris Chan is an…. “Interesting” specimen of a man. Problem of him is he brought himself a lot of negative attention, and those aren’t any trolls’ fault. He’s the typical chronic victim who not only is a narcissist who deludes himself for being better, despite clearly not, but he also brought himself a lot of legal problems, years before his latest felony, which is probably the inevitable end of him, which is long overdue >_>
