See the Chris board has changed a lot which has the effect of angering some "Christorians" because of how much it has. For example, back in the heydays, everyone would criticize Chris on every little aspect because back then Chris was just this autistic sonic fan with 2 weird parents who didn't have to care for anything, most problems he had were swept up by Bob or Barb, he didn't have to worry about housing, food, payments, all he had to worry about is what would Sonichu do the next in the comics. Yes the whole Girlfriend things and how gullible Chris is was hilarious and it was like waiting for the next part of your favorite book. But then more people began to want a slice of the pie and began to troll him even harder, this was all hilarious but there was 2 incidents that pretty much changed everything.
Bob's Death and the House Fire
When Bob died it was the first time people realized "Shit Chris is fucked if Barb dies" which isn't entirely true, yes he might lose his house (do to payments) but he will not be homeless, we got to see that Chris was actually human and cried for his father in the unreleased recordings, we got to see that Chris wanted to take care of his mother like his father did (in the most unorthodox way) but we realized Chris was still human even with all his "lol worthy" content.
When the house fire happened a lot of people put effort to give him and Barb a care package of things they might need, of course there were a lot of detractors saying that it was a mistake, that they were ruining the "Lulz" for everyone, but it wasn't about that, it was about 2 human beings that had lost their home to a fire, was it created by Chris? Maybe. But that's not the issue though some are still hung up on that. The fact that Chris now has to fear losing both his mother and the home he has lived in for years is actually something very human and something a lot of us will have to endure in our lifetime.
The worst thing is the people that still use Chris as some sort of medal like Anna does, they use old "accomplishments" in order to validate themselves without giving an ounce of help to Chris. Why? The answer is simple, as many have already figured it out, if Chris becomes a better person and has a higher "standing" then that virtue signal won't work, the "Oh look at this poor man I saved" will no longer be effective, thus it will pretty much make anything said ineligible. Sadly there are also people who have used the fact that Chris is gullible to extort him out of money and things as stated in other threads, yet when people try to help Chris out they will always come out as the bad guys because like before they are "ruining the lulz"
This could be seen in the Bronycon thread over at /mlp/ and here. People were shitting on the fact Chris was having fun and people were protecting him from others who just wanted to use him for a laugh, as I said in that thread we all know Barb doesn't have much, maybe a year to 4 but she will inevitable die, which is why I enjoy seeing Chris being able to spend time having fun and being carefree.
Will he be hit by reality once she dies? Yes. Will he be homeless, a wreck, kill himself, etc? No. The people that care for Chris as a person and will help him, the people who don't will continue to try to make fun of him. However Chris won't be alone at that time, however hopefully he won't be alone with people like Ana who will use the tragedy as a way to make themselves feel better and have others look at them better.
