Talk:Chris and coping

The portion from the Reality article

I think the portion that was moved from Reality should be moved back. That section's linked with the Cult of the Idea Guys section, and cutting it short removes the context on the Reality page for why Chris gradually became so desperate for his fantasies to be validated that he bought into what the Idea Guys were saying.

I still think it’s important to at least give the history for how Chris’s Escapist saga had emerged occasionally over the years. At the very least that should be indicated somewhere in tge article, since the article is meant to document the Escapist Saga. But yes, if it’s important to set context for the Cult of the Idea Guys, a large portion can be moved back. PsychoNerd054 (talk) 04:59, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

roleplay

I have completed the roleplay section, if you want me to add anything else or change anything drop it down here. Klop (talk) 09:49, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
Added a bit more, I believe its fully complete now.I don't know how to add images so I need some help so can somebody add two images for the roleplay section. One from First recorded statement of Magi-chan, any still will do. Titled "Chris roleplaying as Magi-chan". The second, a capture of his discord profile as Sonichu titled "Chris changing account details to match his Oc.- Klop (talk) 03:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

To add images, you put the title of the image, including its extension, between two sets of square brackets like this: [[]] PsychoNerd054 (talk) 05:13, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Added two images, I don't think this section needs anymore. How is the section? - Klop (talk) 05:50, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

correction

Ill use this place to store my edits, ill add it in once whoever is editing is done.

He might say this to prove he is no longer Chris as Chris would never say something like this... right?. He might also be saying what he always wanted to say, and if anything went wrong he may think he can pin the blame on Magi-chan and "Chris" can get away scot free -Klop (talk) 08:44, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Article scope

I dunno, it seems like this article's scope so far is shaping up to duplicate the Reality article. What if we differentiate the scope for this one by renaming it to Chris and coping, for a more psychological angle? We could include coping devices that aren't necessarily based on his fantasy world like nostalgia. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 00:15, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

I agree that the articles seem similar, but I don't know about expanding this one. It's a long read already. If anything, I would cut down the Roleplaying and Power Fantasies sections, leaving the most poignant stuff. AReasonableMan (talk) 01:26, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, most of Role-Playing could be merged into the dedicated article for it. Power Fantasies could use some editing to tighten it up. I mentioned the History section in another comment and think it should be moved back to Reality, but as a compromise a more general history could be written up in its place. After these changes this article could still have room to grow - it currently weighs in at 8935 bytes and Reality at 38770. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 02:44, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Pro tip

I think we should add a protip box making it clear that this article is written by armchair psychologists and is not conclusive evidence of Chris having whatever illness. - Klop (talk) 08:14, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Done - I've included the Protip template at the top of the article - feel free to modify the statement as you see fit. --Zillachu (talk) 15:13, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
