Chris wasn't who OP should have used as an example. He was also charged with incest (which made for very weird reading since Chris now uses she/her[1]).

When people do insane shit online for internet fame they don't really get to cry when it goes sideways.

The world is full of crazy people, especially online.

I think it's crazy having seen the advent of the internet, to watch it devolve into people begging for attention/money.

I wish so bad we could go back to usenet and geocities when people posted out of love and passion, but 'You can never go home'.

An incest charge in 2021 means decades of harassment was justified?

Don't be obtuse, that wasn't what I said at all.

Decades of posting all about your life online and doing insane things for internet fame, and even your own personal details means they can't cry when that attention isn't always positive.

Chris is himself a troll. He has physically attacked a gamestop employee, his mother tried to run over another one.

Again, if OP wanted to garner sympathy, Chris wasn't the example to be used.

He also gloated about having a girlfriend while deliberately witholding information that he knew would get him in trouble; he teased out hints that it was his mother, such as "she's an older lady", "we've known each other a long time", "she graduated from <school> in accounting".

Who used Chandler as an example to garner sympathy? Someone speculated Kiwi Farms started as a harmless place to joke about public figures. Someone else responded with the fact it started with stalking Chandler. Then it became an argument about notability.

Maybe your ranting about online fame would make sense if reading about this person was 1 of my hobbies. This person would be the unknown creator of a low quality web comic without Kiwi Farms and related groups as far as I know.
