I hope everybody starts being nice to Chris Chan. He's another frustrated virgin on the internet that gets trolled.

 

[Chabbles]

I don't see the comparison.

Do you know what a psycho is ?

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

This is insane. Was there ever a case where we could so immediately see the mind of a person like this (even if its filtered through his words)? In less than a day we had access to his videos and his voice and now we are getting his "memoir".

If I had watched those videos yesterday I would have thought they were a parody. How this guy that genuinely sounds like comic villain is allowed to roam free? Even after his parents turned him in.

This is disturbing.

Rest in peace to all the victims.

Its frightening that a person this twisted actually existed and despite all this material, nobody tried to stop him.

 

[Radec]

Are there any updates on the 3 bodies in his apartment?

 

[todd360]

The amount of times this guy threw a drink at people or had the desire to is making me laugh so hard.

"I had to fight the urge not to splash my drink all over the little shitheads in a vehement rage."

How did this guy not get the shit kicked out of him. I guess every time he actually threw a drink he drove off like a scared little boy.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Someone needed to get this kid a prostitute. Good lord, one lay and maybe this all could have been avoided.

Obviously he was hung up on sex most of all, so maybe it wouldn't have made any difference, but yeah.

I doubt this guy had anything nice to say about prostitutes, and just as likely the same about women who weren't virgins.

He didn't want sex, he wanted his desire for attention and worship to be fulfilled. A casual sex encounter would've just meant women were total slutwhorebitches, and any possible relationship he might have had (providing someone would put up with him for more than an hour) would have just been used to back up his beliefs about women being evil hell-spawn whose only purpose is to destroy men emotionally for amusement once they inevitably break up with him.

 

[Superflat]

Piece of shit parents

That is an incredibly mindless accusation.

 

[StopMakingSense]

May get some info at the press conference.

"Because of all the injustices I went through and the worldview I developed because of them, I must be destined for greatness. I must be destined to change the world, to shape it into an image that suits me!"

Quits play WoW at age 17, cries in the middle of sessions, doesn't stop him from feeling lonely.

 

[User 100115]

You know, all of that shit that is in his manifesto would have been dismissed as over the top trolling two days ago.

I am never going to see the internets as the same way again.

 

[Pau]

The solution to someone viewing women as commodities and objects isn't to put them in a position where they view a single woman as an object / commodity. Really doesn't seem like he'd be able to make the difference between: "This is a human being doing a job that I am paying for" and "This is an object that I am using." Doesn't sound like a prostitute would have been safe around him. Everyone posting about how that could have changed things doesn't seem to be aware of the danger sex workers face from people with this very mindset.

Agreed... internet is suddenly very scary. :\

His little manifesto thing containing plans to kill his little brother further chilled me to the core, as that Youtube channel also has a video where he's casually filming him and making random small talk. It's your little brother...what could he have possibly done? The other stuff is equally fucked up, but you can at least see the twisted narrative.

Seriously. Each time someone suggests sex and/or a prostitute would have fixed him, you're essentially validating his twisted worldview. You're agreeing that he should have been given sex.

 

[Zamorro]

But it wasn't the virginity that was an issue it was why he was a virgin. It was what he felt about himself and the world around him.

Are some of you people channeling him or something?

You seem so sure about his motivations.

It's weird how some of you can't accept the mere possibility that the act of losing his virginity could play a role.

 

[Coxy]

He sounds like a fucking PUA MRA, honest to god. The rejects that ooze bitterness and hatefulness on r/mensrights and other websites.

he was posting at puahate, some real messed up posts there too

 

[Cloudy]

He would have found something else to blame all his problems on. This guy was CLEARLY nuts

 

[ponpo]

Put all women on earth on concentration camps and watch them from "an enormous tower" *what*

It sounds so fake. Like he just made all this up while writing it to try to sound as insane as possible on purpose.

 

[Dmax3901]

Do you know what a psycho is ?

They both killed people is the only thing they have in common. They both hate women I guess but for completely different reasons. Either way it's irrelevant.

 

[Eighty Deuce]

jesus christ

 

[BlackGhost]

this guy had 2 roommates and they might be the ones killed.

Any confirmation if the two bodies were his roomates?

 

[Parch]

I'm starting to think some of those manifesto stories are made up bullshit. The guy was delusional so he could be thinking up situations that he thought could happen to him, or just embellishing encounters knowing his manifesto would be getting attention.

 

[Cow Mengde]

kid drove a fucking bmw and thought he got the short end of the stick on life.

Well think about it. If he's unhappy, then it goes to show money isn't the root of all happiness. He had the money, but he's not as happy as a guy driving a Honda Accord. A lesson in life if there ever was one.

You underestimate the power the woman's nether region.

But I'm not saying you are wrong. Everything seemed to not go right for the guy, compounding all his preconceived notions.

 

[User 100115]

I thought it was three bodies pulled out of the apartment, did I read it wrong?

 

[CountAntonius]

Agreed... internet is suddenly very scary. :\

When a person threatened to kill themselves on that cam site and a ton of people were calling him a pussy and telling him he wouldn't do it(which he did on cam) I realized what a fucked up place this can be. All this anonymity and lack of consequence for your actions brings out the absolute worse in people. I'll admit I've been a completely unbearable asshole in my past and said stuff I am very ashamed of looking back but it's important to realize even if you think someone is kidding there is a real chance they aren't and getting the last word or "hitting them where it hurts" is just not worth it.

Why would I accept something I don't believe? I simply don't share someone else opinion.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

if he had just played day of defeat this would have never happened

Maybe he got spawncamped on dod_avalanche by some Girl Gamers™

 

[~Kinggi~]

Him having aspergers might explain a lot in how this type of personality was able to develop.

 

[Pau]

Sorry, but a woman's pussy isn't going to make some dude magically realize that women aren't just sex toys for his own pleasure.

 

[Vicetrailia]

He didn't want the sex alone. He wanted the validation that went along with having an attractive white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes (his standard, not mine...) on his arm. He was straight up jealous at OTHER people that could obtain what he apparently couldn't.

He would have view a prostitute as "beneath him" despite the reality of the opposite.

That, and he wanted a relationship. He wanted companionship, to share his life with another human being, that being an all american blonde white woman.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

I agree.

Sorry, but a woman's pussy isn't going to make some dude magically realize that women aren't just sex toys for his own pleasure.

Amen.

Women aren't vending machines that you put 300$ shades and BMW's into and pussy falls out.

 

[Devolution]

He wanted a very specific kind of woman to worship at his altar. And this woman doesn't exist.

 

[anaron]

Can people stop calling it a sad situation on the killer's end? This shitstain was an angry malicious bastard and stopped inviting any sort of sympathy when he a) decided to start hating everyone and anything around him (particularly women) and b) MURDERED SEVERAL PEOPLE

 

[Necromanti]

Are some of you people channeling him or something?

You seem so sure about his motivations.

Focusing on whether sex would have stopped a mentally ill individual from killing 9 people seems both inappropriate and bizarre in this situation.

 

[ISOM]

Its frightening that a person this twisted actually existed and despite all this material, nobody tried to stop him.

What can you do to him before he actually commits his crimes? You can't arrest someone for thoughts. Maybe the parents should of confronted him more but I don't know how much that would of actually helped or just delayed what he did.

 

[mreddie]

Oh no, please don't pull Hunger Games into this bullshit.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

He wanted a very specific kind of woman to worship at his altar. And this woman doesn't exist.

I WAS ON THE RED CARPET OF THE HUNGER GAMES. Y U NO IMPRESSED?

That BB misc forum certainly didn't do him any favors. Devo said it best, the internet is an echo chamber for any lunatic's thoughts.

On the other hand, I've been very happy with the way that GAF talks to people who are having problems. (I mean serious stuff)

 

[BlackGhost]

No you may be right, might just be my mistake. Just catching up on this story now

 

[User 100115]

No, he thought he was owed a 'object' and was pissed other people were getting what he wasn't.

He did not want to share his life with a human being, he wanted service from a slave.

 

[Chabbles]

Both crazy fuckers who thought they were gods gift..
although its a great movie, and maybe i shouldn't taint it by comparing it to the psycho in question.

Has for me.

 

[Zaph]

Lots of women in my timeline are currently publicly sharing some incredibly... personal experiences at the moment. Shit is scary as hell, these are my friends.

I really hope the manifesto doesn't turn the narrative into movies, games or guns (again). Those things aren't going away and are just the symptom of a much larger problem.

It's not just about sex though. If you read and listen to what he says it's more about power and control. He feels that every woman should be bowing to him and he viewed interracial relationships between white girls and other races as blasphemy. Even if he had sex, he would of still went off the deep end the next time he was rejected.

 

[CHEEZMO™]
