I think any sane world, someone would have stepped in a decade ago as an advocate, and gotten them the combination of mental health care and accountability explained to them in compassionate terms they could understand. There has never needed to be a fucking wiki dedicated to this person.
Early Sonichu is fascinating and compelling ad outsider art. Daniel Johnston famously had a breakdown and was protected from the world after getting famous. The world needs to react to weirdos with a little more kindness.
Y’all also have to remember that KiwiFarms started as a Chris-Chan harassment forum. Kiwifarms is so fucked up that cloudflare won’t even host them. There’s something about staring into the void long enough…
See - your first paragraph I think betrays a problem with the American health care system - that “parents rights” extends to denying care. Christian Scientist kids should not be left to painfully die of preventable disease, and parents of developmentally delayed children who do not get them appropriate intervention should probably face some sort of child welfare investigation and consequences (in a post RFK/return to sanity world where the interventions are ethical and not shit like ABA).
The US “troubled teen” industry is another symptom of this rot.
As well as JW kids and blood transfusions
Chris graduated high school, graduated community college, had a fine social life in their youth, designed websites, wrote poetry, etc., etc. There was never any reason for intervention past a few counseling sessions that he did receive.
This not normal.
