it's also important to note that the trolling that was brought upon chris chan ultimately worsened any prior mental health issues they had, by having flocks of ppl pretending to be fans, love interests and villains. Not only did it give Chris Chan a fake sense of importance (fake as in orchestrated) that ultimately made them more egotistical but also more paranoid, to the point they were passive-aggressive towards anyone who interacted with them (I'm using they/them to refer to classic chris and trans mtf chris simultaneously) and making them an overall aggressive person. They were absolutely wrong in many occasions (being homophobic, sexist, racist, ecc...) but it doesn't excuse the people who were active participants in their mental decline, enabling certain fantasies that ultimately made them psychotic then turn around and acting all moral like "chris you shouldn't do that" while they egged him on the whole time. They took advantage of a deeply mentally ill person who is also autistic for their own entertainment and then people act as if they didn't contribute to the person that Chris chan is today. If there was no trolling Chris could've been helped appropriately (excluding the Bob and Barb factor) and they could've been radically different, but all the trolling did was close them off to any kind of help or prospect for the future while slowly making them find comfort only in their own imagination.

I wont lie. I fucking hate myself and need this asshole to make me feel better.

If we don’t want to split the world into good and evil we should do this with every person or incident that we might learn from something.

Investigate and see why the person became and did what they did and became (…)

The online interest was purely “freak-show” type entertainment. No one had any interest in helping them.

I have much more compassion for Chris-Chan than for anyone who pointed and laughed. I agree with you, if someone was there to help, none of this would have happened.

What happened to Chris-Chan is absolutely disgusting. And I don't know why anyone would want to criticize her now, given how much past bullying and harassment she received. Do you really want to be with the 4chan and KiwiFarms crowd?

Imagine a world where you can say any name you want and people know who the hell you’re talking about.

From context I’m guessing this is a streamer that a bunch of people have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with. I will never know, because I don’t typically look at replies.

I don't know enough about opinions on the matter to do anything but upvote for a solid post.

Only thing I even know about it is the name and that fuckery was going on. It's not the kind of drama I tend to be entertained by specifically because the fuckery that would get discussed in passing that I'd scroll past was usually really really ugly fuckery, and that's bullshit, period.

So scanning the screen shots you provided is enough to make me glad I didn't ever pay attention to it. I'd have been furious

I'm so pleased to see this isn't actually an unpopular opinion.

I was a toxic little shit who loved reading Chris Chan drama, and I'm utterly ashamed. They were just a weird person who deserved the right to do weird things in relative privacy.
