While Chris-Chan is not a good person, their story is a condemnation of mental and behavioral health care in the United States that should be looked at a societal failure.

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…

The online interest was purely “freak-show” type entertainment. No one had any interest in helping them.
I have much more compassion for Chris-Chan than for anyone who pointed and laughed. I agree with you, if someone was there to help, none of this would have happened.
I kind of remember she was offered therapy at one point and her parents stepped in and shut that down? Last I looked into her was when her father had died, and it seemed like that would be a good change. But now I've read an article about her arrest a few years ago, and I can't believe the judge didn't order an evaluation given what Chan reportedly said at her hearings.
Seems like people are still treating her like a freak :(
