Out of the loop, is it okay to make fun of Chris Chan now? Last I remembered it was a bunch of 4chan assholes bullying them for being autistic and trans.
Chris Chan is an interesting “Frankenstein’s Monster” case. In Frankenstein, the monster is regularly treated like a monster by everyone they encounter. So eventually, he basically decides “if I’m going to be treated like a monster regardless, I might as well give them a reason to fear me.” The monster begins acting like one… By the end of the book, the monster has done plenty of monstrous things. But it didn’t start out that way…
And Chris Chan’s case has a lot of parallels to that. Maybe she didn’t initially deserve the bullying. She’s always been weird, but it’s entirely possible that her life would have been on a different trajectory without the constant harassment. However, by the time the Chris Chan stuff was really coming to a head around 2020-2021, she was a full blown racist, misogynistic, homophobic, sexual predator piece of shit. Her potential life is an interesting hypothetical “Nature vs Nurture” thought experiment. But as it currently stands, Chris doesn’t deserve a platform.
Making fun of her is fine, just do it for the right reasons. She’s a bad person who happens to be autistic and trans. She’s not a bad person because she is autistic and trans.
I honestly think Fred’s coverage of Chris and other lolcows gave some people who would later become internet celebrities a wake up call on what not to become. He’s honestly the only person I trust to these types that’s willing to do it.
You can always make fun of a horribleneprson as long as you don’t capitulate on the things that don’t make them horrible, which is what probably those 4chan assholes were doing. Nah he’s a shitbag AND he’s autistic and trans. Not because.
ehh, the unaddressed autism is definitely a factor. They should have been taken offline or at least, not allowed have an email or social media and been forced into therapy. They had rape fantasies before they started interacting with trolls. They were always a ticking time bomb.

Fredrik Knudsen covered them back in 2016.

Everyone involved sucks, best not to get involved.
I was under the impression it was always ethical to make fun of Chris chan
Make jokes, but do not interact with them.
They sexually assaulted their mother and have always been openly racist among a bunch of other fucked up shit… It’s always been okay.
It’s always been okay, they’re a terrible person
