Looking back, am I the only one who thinks Chris' transition to Christine was the major turning point? It's sort of annoying, maybe, but it really seems to be when Chris began experiencing this flowering, leading me to wonder how much of what was holding Chris back was masculinity. I may get the dreaded MISANDRY rating for this, but I can't help seeing a correlation between Chris abandoning "maleness" and becoming happy...
Except the point in time when Chris started to do his transwoman-soul lesbian whatever the fuck tomgirl stuff, that occurred
before GamePlace hit-and-run on Snyder. On-site reports did indicate he was wearing way too much women's make up
at the trial of all places, so really the beginning of this transition period actually marked the first real instance where Chris had to face legal consequences, and in some ways escaped the worst of it only by basically handing over Bob's entire pension money to Rob Bell in the process.
Additionally, we have every reason to believe Chris only had mace at the GameStop incident because it's kind of a stereotypical woman thing to carry around (gotta remember - Chris's only conception of how the world works is what he's seen on TV and almost all women in the kind of shit he watches have mace). In fact, IIRC there was one person who suggested that from the evidence we had at the time, Chris had been
primed to use the Mace before even entering the store, meaning he intended to use it from the get-go and after he did mace the guy, claimed one of the employees was trying to sexually assault him or something
because he was a "woman".
Is Chris entirely happy though? Bare in mind that we only see little snippets of Chris' life right now. Just because he got tired of moaning on Facebook about how lonely and unfulfilled his life was it doesn't mean that on the whole he doesn't still feel lonely. Sure he went to a convention, has been that creepy guy who stands on the periphery at a nightclub who you avoid starting conversation with and is comfortable in himself but that doesn't mean overall he absolutely loves his life right now.
Yeah, it's just not clear he's still unhappy with his situation in life as a result of him not posting as much anymore - which in fairness might slightly have been a result of him going to belly dancing classes (why the fuck bellydancing is something I do not know nor do I
want to know).
But as we saw when he posted the Blake Amibos were not selling as well as he'd hoped, the entire tone of the posting was way more hostile toward the people reading it than anything from the past several months. That's the biggest hint from OPL himself that he's still got way too much autistic anger at his shitty life outlook hidden behind an optimistic faquade to date - I suspect it might unravel a bit as we get closer to his next court date since all signs
there point to all the continuances being on part of the defense...trying to get OPL to a therapist or do stuff to make him seem at least able to fully function in society at large.
If anybody is an ace at pretending his life is amazing and anybody who disagrees is a troll then Chris is.
Actually, I'd say ADF moreso - he literally has nobody who he can talk face-to-face with and call a friend, not even in his head since he's too busy murdering imaginary jews since he pathetically can't think of any other way to protest Zuckerberg not letting him change his name.
OPL at least has the people at Impulse given he's banned from almost every other establishment in Ruckersville.
I'm not too worried about the whole Gamestop/mace deal. We live in a country where people regularly shoot the fuck out of each other for having the wrong skin color & get away with it. With her "unique" mental perspective (and dat handy Autism card!) I don't think anything serious will ever come of it. As continuance after continuance has proved.
I dunno how much the Autism card can be played anymore - even at the first trial, the autism card didn't save him from a potential felony despite not even being the one driving the van when Snyder got hit. It was Snyder showing incredible mercy toward the unappreciative prick who had done wonders of worsening his store's reputation for years that only earned Chris a misdemeanor.
Now, there's tons of evidence showing Chris attacked a guy with mace simply because Chris wanted to mace somebody out of anger despite the victim not even posing any kind of threat. I'd be amazed if this stuff didn't end with Chris getting another psych eval at the very least.
What I am kinda worried about, and honestly speaking here, is Christine maybe inadvertently finding herself in a bad situation at the bar. Admittedly, the LBGT crowd is very tolerant of oddballs- but bars are bars and jackasses are jackasses- especially when they have a skin-full of booze. Just because you're LBGT doesn't mean you're a saint. As still socially inexperienced as she is, I can see several scenarios where she could end up in real bad trouble, real quick.
Agreed - that would end poorly.
the only way chris could get better is to step infront of a moving truck
I'm not sure we can get Barb accelerating at a fast enough rate at a perfect parallel trajectory to the ground in order to test this theory.
