Full disclosure, I was into the whole picking on Christine Chandler thing for a while during my edgier years. I eventually grew out of it as I actually came around to being an empathetic person and my foray into leftism. The recent news about her and what she did to her mom and subsequent jailing is so sad, this is a person who was so failed by society and absolutely preyed upon by horrible people. Really hate how self-righteous a lot of these stalkers are, they hold her up as an example of why it's okay actually to stalk and harass mentally ill people. Mind you, I don't condone what she did, but I wasn't surprised in the least.
i watched a long youtube video about her a years ago (pre-transition, i believe) and seeing the way people treated her... like, how could that not destroy someone? the Internet tortured her and made her declining mental state a spectator sport
i don't remember the full context/details, but there was one event described where someone (a woman i think?) pretended to be her friend/fan, and then destroyed her yellow sonic necklace (which she was always wearing and clearly meant a lot to her). it genuinely made me cry
