I feel almost certain that there were Chris-chan threads way back when but I imagine anyone who still gives a poo poo has long since been run off the site

It's crowd sourced harassment of a person in need of care in a system that structurally won't provide it and I weep for the species.

If the world was right Chris-chan wouldn't be sent to a jail but an institution years ago. The horrible people online who for years have been goading them on to this eventually awful thing are the ones who should face consequences. Not that it's possible but plenty of us are guilty in a small way. Just for laughing along.

Yeah I remembered the Chris Chan saga from back in the day and didn’t catch any of it, then stumbled on a big long video about everything that happened last year and started to watch/listen to it thinking it was going to be another internet loonie to laugh at. I didn’t get too far before getting profoundly disgusted/saddened and I never even got to the really bad stuff. The whole thing is hosed up and sad even by 2005 SA standards.

Enjoy some marine biology memes.

It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

It started because Chris was originally discovered being a creep to women, which made it "safe" to laugh at him*, so people gave themselves carte blanche to be mean as poo poo - no amount of gaslighting/trolling/mindfuckery was off the table. This is the worst of internet trolls doing everything in their power to destroy a person with an extremely poor grip on reality.

We DID participate in the saga here at the start, because it was fairly harmlessly trolling a person who seemed primarily like a creepy rear end in a top hat. It turned into way, way worse than that over the past decade, and the extremely hosed up things that happened recently are a direct result of that continual trolling. They wanted this to happen, and it's horrifying.




*I'm...really getting confused about how to properly use pronouns to tell the story at this point and still be easily understood, I know that she now identifies as female, but understanding that they started looking like a big goober dude is important to context. I'm not trying to be offensive and if I'm loving up please tell me.

I had no idea who Chris-Chan was. I just looked them up and I think I remember a Contrapoints video that mentioned them? Anyways, I don't think I understand anything what the gently caress.

My main reaction to this is that it seems to me the SA of the time would not have been particularly fussed to put up a fig leaf of “it’s okay because they are a creepy rear end in a top hat”.

are the same thing!

A friend of mine who was never that online before fell into a YouTube hole of watching a multihour several episode documentary on Chris Chan and he started talking about it and I was like "Hmmm I vaguely remember a thread about Chris Chan like a decade ago how is this still a thing."

I was a kid and saw a lobster at EKA-market and touched it and it moved and I almost shat myself. I had no idea anything in the fish/meat/cheese counter was alive. (Luckily they didn't sell casu marzu. That would've ended my love of dairy.)

Yes. No Chris Chan in the meme thread please. The whole situation is just vile and it’s basically impossible to separate the memes from that, especially with the recent events.

No need!

Speaking of sixers, No1Curr memes are going to be a coin flip sixer soon! I’ll run it for three days. Whoever catches the most sixers gets a gift cert for a new av. Just trying to find a good meme for the probe, suggestions welcome.

It's crazy to me that FNM had the whole "man caring about poo poo is so loving lame you losers" thing from the early 90s down pat five years early. It's like, some movies from 1991-92 feel very very "80s", there's some spill over the other direction as well. Plus that bass fuckin' slaps, figuratively and literally.
