Armchair psychology: CWC

One thing that has me curious is if/when chris has an intervention from the state, what happens when an authority figure tells him he has a serious mental problem and he needs help. The kind of help that whineing and spazzing out will not give him away from.

 

Some? He's a certifiable master of it!

Nyuck nyuck nyuck

 

Oh he'll be utterly volatile no matter how barb goes. The bottom will drop out of his entire lifestyle and he'll be inundated with bills, taxes, medical costs, funerary expenses... and he'll have to juggle it all on that weak little tugboat.

the 'stress' he suffered will be like a calm sunday afternoon compared to that. His whole comfortable, half-existence will crumble like a sandcastle before the wave and he'll be so angry that he can't lounge about and play with legos that he'll become a powder keg. When he isn't screeching on social medial for pity, he'll be going off on everyone for not helping him.

I'll be sink or swim time, and chris will be wearing cement shoes.

Well he never listened to shrinks, and thinks they're full of crap. He'd be passive aggressive throughout the whole venture, and not take any pills because 'he knows better than the licensed professional.' However I think he'd actually be okay with an institution. 'Free' room and board? People to look after him? Chris's dream come true.

 

Chris is Chris

 

As far as the state giving him psychiatric care - from what I understand, the government can only really make you get psychiatric care if you're a danger to yourself or others. Once the doctor says he's not a danger to himself or others he'll be released from the hospital, it will be on him to take the pills, go to doctor's appointments and see counselors.

As far as what Chris has, if he has anything in addition to autism, I have no idea other than he's a hot mess. He definitely needs serious, serious mental health help, counseling for sure, maybe meds could help, but unless he's a danger to himself or others (from what I understand) it's up to him to get that help.

 

As if vehicular assault, assault with pepper spray and self inflicted wounds on his taint are not evidence enough.

 

Sadly that's not enough. Chris would have to dance naked around in a walmart parking lot with a knife screaming about sonic's arms not being blue and then shout his cwcisms while being carted away to the funny farm. until something like that happens he's too sane for an asylum. Never thought I'd argue for chris's sanity...

As it stands he's just a sad, pathetic man child, and if the state took care of those types of people our taxes would skyrocket.

 

Who wants to tackle the "Bob walks in" incident? I'll need to do me some transcript reading to provide anything worthwhile.

I suppose it's become obvious, but I massively prefer interpreting pre-tomgirl Chris. Probably because it was in 2009-10 I was actually involved in following CWC. After long breaks, with no proper segues and long radio silence, every "check in" I did for Chris got weirder and weirder. It's hard to rationally analyze someone when one day they're a virulent homophobe, and then they're saying they're a "lesbian souled transwoman". I would need to research that period more in depth to really escape the jarring dissonance there. I really appreciate that birdoj is willing to give us their perception of it, though. The political implications of even opening your mouth seriously about trans stuff on the internet make adult conversations on the matter difficult.

Having had a mentally ill relative in the Southeastern U.S I can confirm there is an extremely strict standard applied to the "danger to self and others" clause, and equal lack of resources once said standard is even met. Without having to bother kinfolk for specifics, it's akin to calling animal control to remove a venomous reptile from your property, only to have them chuck it back in once it's "calmed down".

 

As far as vehicular assault and the pepper spray incident go, those were (somewhat minor) criminal acts that were dealt with in court. It would really be stretching it to say that Chris was homicidal during those incidents. Maybe you could say Snyder's life was in jeopardy, but still, not enough to get Chris sent to the psych ward for homicidal acts.
As far as the taint wounds - that is legitimately troubling, but IIRC Chris had a doctor look at it and I think put an ointment on it.
Chris hasn't completely lost it yet, but it doesn't look good.
I don't think Chris has ever really been homicidal or suicidal. He's tard raged hard a few times but that isn't being homicidal, he backs down pretty quickly (the face down monster at Game Place being one example). It would be really hard for me to imagine Chris being suicidal, although he's certainly experienced real depression in his life.

 

It's what I think most trans are in general. Actually no, posers who just want attention and validation and asspats from Internet strangers and a way to make themselves into "oppressed" minorities being the majority, this being second place, and actual gender dysphoria as a distant third. I'm a bit cynical like that.

 

I believe you're right.

Chris's ego has him believing that he's the art messiah, he'd never dream of denying the world his brilliance so I don't think we'll ever see him doing any real suicidal acts. He's also too spineless to try and kill someone, I mean he ran over snyder accidentally because he was panicked while trying to run away from a middle aged, dumpy jew. the pepperspray incident was him hitting and running because he was scared of two employees who told him to leave.

There's a lot of people interested in victim culture these days. If there's anything chris loves, its a good asspat.

 

Your right. I have often thought about this and Chris's logic on being a lesbian transwoman. He claims that he still wants a woman but any woman who is strait is not going to be attracted to Chris. She is going to be attracted to a real man who looks and acts like one. No lesbian will be attracted to him either because he is in reality a man and has a duck. They are only interested in other women. So all of this said I cannot for the life of me truly understand why Chris thinks he has a shot finding the love he wants being a tranny. I guess we'll just have to chalk it up to Autism?

LOL, I have wondered about that particular call. There was hilarious an animated video that was synced with that call where Chris is caught by bob and then Chris is seen jumping up and down naked yelling "would you get out of here dad!". Was Chris actually nude when he was caught though? You don't really hear Bob referencing anything other than "What are you doing"?

 

That there's the battleship sized hole in chris's logic.

But blaming it just on autism is a vague, blanket statement. Could Chris be a Solipsist?

"Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist." Its a very uncomplicated philosophy that puts the individual at the center of the universe.
I think it makes a lot of sense; even in the new pages of his comic he jokes about how 'amazing' his man tits are. He thinks he's a woman, therefore he is. He's great at drawing and writing, therefore anyone who disagrees is a troll and upset that they're not as good as he is. He thinks he has a copywrite, therefore he does.

 

Seems he is a few steps away from a God complex.

 

That sounds like autism with a fancy name to it. Autism's etymology comes from the word "auto" meaning "self" the hallmark symptom of autism is no theory of mind. It wouldn't surprise me if the philosopher who came up with Solipsism was autistic though
