Man, with all the drama in the comments and tags, I’m surprised no one in the past 6 years has mentioned any hint of what caused people to be freaked out by this photo.
All I see without context is a fairly well dressed guy in a Fluffle Puff t-shirt and a girl cosplaying a unicorn talking in front of a Fluffle Puff merch booth at a pony convention…

Sadly, the internet has and always will reach for the lowest-hanging fruit. And that is the reason Chris and people like him continue to receive mockery. There’s a reason the term “lolcow” exists. It’s there for people who are so oblivious, so tone-deaf to their own cringy behavior and obnoxious idiocy that they continue the same actions despite constant harassment, sometimes despite it. Whereas normal people would become embarrassed and ashamed of their actions and stop, people with behavioral and mental disorders often believe that they must be right, and everyone else must be wrong. All they need to do is explain it and surely others will understand their bizarre point of view. Unfortunately, the internet being what it is will just take every outburst, every spasm and twist and inflate it to garner laughs and make themselves feel superior. It will never end until the source of the content stops producing it.

Chris-chan harrasment litteraly started because some guys called the Internet army (which was Encyclopedia Dramatica at the time) on him because he made an ass of himself over some YuGiOh game.At one point,the Internet collective obsession with documenting every time Chris shart his pants sured Chris obsession for Sonic and Pikachu.I really have to question the motive of people who maintain those entire wikias,forums and YouTube archives because it’s clearly not to “force Chris to get better”,it’s reality TV tier voyeurism coupled with sadism because if you think for one second that any member of the KiwiFarms has any expertise in psychiatry,you’re out of your goddamn mind.
It’s been 10 years that Internet gave him “tough love” and nothing changed.Let the joke die,it grew more stale as time goes on.

I think it’s not that he has autism. People with autism can be polite and respectful. Chris over the years has gone out of his way to be an obnoxious, intolerant shit about almost everything that doesn’t make him out to be the golden god he thinks of himself as. THAT’S why people make fun of him and refuse to have dealings with him. He refuses to try to change and refuses to get help for his emotional problem.
The only thing I really dislike is people pinning the “autism” term to those with LFA (low-functioning autism), and then going around using autism as an insult, without even knowing what autism is. And upon seeing someone with LFA, feel that it’s necessary to badger, bully, or insult them further. I mean, lol, come on, do these people have such low self-esteem and lack of education they need to insult someone who’s mentally handicapped?
It’s like going up to someone in a wheelchair who is trying to make it over a curb and saying, “Ha, ha, you’re such an amelia!” I mean, what is that supposed to accomplish?
I do kinda feel bad for him. And not to mean anything bad by this, but parents with someone of this unfortunate mental state shouldn’t let them operate in the world as adults, and instead should treat and care for them as a child.
I wish the federal law about kids under 13 being ineligible to sign up to social media sites extended to those with mental handicaps, since, you know, their mental capacity isn’t that much better. Would’ve helped prevent the whole thing in the first place.
I don’t think an autograph would be a victory for much of anything, since at least he’s asking to receive one, and not running around trying to give autographs to others.
@Chopsticks
I feel bad for Mike because it’s a no win situation. An autograph is a moral victory for Chris. Not giving an autograph is being a jerk to the most famous autist on the internet.
If Chris wasn’t such an asshole about one-upping his haters I’d feel bad for him…
The reason, by the way, that he inspires so much hatred is that he ruins anything he goes anywhere near. I don’t personally hate him myself (I more feel he’s a sad individual that makes everyone look good by comparison) and I sure wouldn’t condone violence, but I can certainly understand the hate.
@Ledvi
At least you have self control and can resist the urge to hit someone hust because you hate them. I don’t know anything about this guy but I’m pretty sure hitting them just because you hate them, makes you a pretty horrible person.
@Nightweaver20xx
I don’t know how people can do it, but they manage to find the way. To get upset and wishing death upon a lazy autistic middle aged person that’s slowly dying both in and outside…
I don’t know whether I should call it pity or pathetic. Can’t be both.
@Cloud Racer
The fact that Chris can inspire such hatred and antagonism in other people means that something went wrong somewhere with somebody, big time. And I’m not sure if it’s him or you.
@Ledvi
I’m litterally staying a few spots behind this abomination at badge pick up. You have no idea how much I want to do this. It’s worth going to jail for.
@Cloud Racer
Oh come on. No need to inflict violence against this thirty year old fat leech. His life is already a living hell and he won’t bother trying to get out of it. He is doomed to be a virgin until the day he dies.
Oh jesus Chris Chan and a cosplayer cosplaying Nostalgia Critic at a Bronycon all in one pic?
This is extreme autism.
P.S. Someone should let the staff at Bronycon know that cosplayers needs to cosplay MLP related characters and not ponified characters from different franchise.

That all said, just be polite and move on.

Everything aside, I applaud whoever managed to snap this photo at this moment in time upon realizing what was going on.
JULAAAAAAY!!!! JULAAAAAAY!!!!

“I don’t know anything about this guy” lucky you.

Also holy shit 7 years later and this is the first time I’ve seen Mike. Man he is a recluse.
Mike already has the stupid. He goes onto art live streams and then complains about not having friends just to get attention for himself.
This is extreme autism.
