Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Imagine a world where you can say any name you want and people know who the hell you’re talking about.
From context I’m guessing this is a streamer that a bunch of people have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with. I will never know, because I don’t typically look at replies.
You're fascinating. Do you reply to every post you don't know or understand to declare you have nothing to add?
The people need to know

You're taking extra time out of your day to let everyone know that you refuse to learn, even when learning is quicker.
I'm not googling it because based on this thread, this chris chan person sounds like a disaster, and I don't want google thinking this is one of my interests.
Now you have spent 453 characters. Are you really still using Google? Dude, they're lame now, everyone's talking about it.
To be clear, I'm not the person you were initially responding to, I was just offering a reason why someone might not want to do a search on chris chan.
And yeah I still use google, I'm middle-aged and lame, it'll happen to you too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is incorrect
So why bother posting such cynical shit?
For the other readers who may care, He was nothing like a streamer or internet personality as you assume. They were obsessed with sonic and shared their fanfiction comics online, were mocked ruthlessly and their mental health prevented them from dealing with it in a healthy way. They went full deep-end.
I say he but I think they transitioned and transitioned back? Can't remember.
Transitioned, prefers she nowadays but he is okay for past events.
The iffy iffy thing is that some of the manipulative stuff and breaks from reality make the “which pronoun” debate difficult. Chris Chan is not in her right mind. There’s evidence in the comics of a group of trolls called the “Idea Guys” that were pressuring her into doing and acting in ways that were making her uncomfortable. She claims to be an inter dimensional goddess ready to merge fictional realities (the smoking gun for the “Idea Guys” is the inclusion of like Hyperspace Neptune(?) and a couple of other series Chris Chan never had interest in.)
At some point some sort of court order or adult protective service is necessary. When someone starts calling themselves a “CPU Goddess” and “Jesus Christ Chan Sonichu Prime” it’s less “kick the autistic” and more “wow the internet bullied a kind of shitty guy into insanity.”
