The whole phenomenon of Internet dipshits rubbernecking at Chris-Chan’s life is one of the most depressing things in the history of online culture. There are probably kids into this pointless spectacle today who were born after the “saga” (fuck off) started.
I am very blessed to have no idea what this means, and I thought I was terminally online.
Bored teenagers discover weird person with autism who posts cringe things online. Said teenagers quickly notice said person is very easy to troll and egg on to do embarrassing things online and offline.
Said trolling and egging on continues for 15 years and every bit of it is documented by people (read: assholes) who consider themselves scholars of the subject
please god, never look into this and pretend u never saw this post
K. Can do! :blob-no-thoughts:
Behind the Bastards goes into her history a bit in the “internet is a bastard” episode.
Was the last BtB episode I listened to, seems like half of the airtime on any of Evan’s podcasts is spent complaining about tankies anymore.
Really? :michael-laugh:
His spinoff “It Could Happen Here” that’s largely hosted by a couple other people now regularly complain about tankies to the point I felt like I was just listening to posts from r/VaushV or r/tankiejerk.
It’s kind of annoying to actually live in a world where tankies don’t exist, politically speaking, but 99% of the ranty-complainyness targets them. I guess I should pass on that series then.
The first set of episodes where Evan’s is narrating what societal collapse would like is fine. They changed the format to broader discussions after that and it was fine for a while until it became apparent Garrison spends a shit load of time on reddit.
Is that the little pipsqueak he adopted from the Portland protests
Chris chan has been around for almost 20 years and likely has a cornucopia of mental conditions which the people who ruin her life as a personal hobby enjoy preying on. She’s “really” into Sonic and has written extensive fan fictions about her own characters, and through various bad actors feeding into her grand delusions convinced her these characters existed in another dimension.
The whole thing also spawned an entire subculture of sociopaths looking for new “cringe” people to harrass
That’s where kiwifarms comes out of of anyone’s curious.
