I don't think it's so much people "thinking it's OK" as it is people tired of watching others riding in to rescue and white knight Chris and it accomplishing fuck-all. There will always be people who want to fuck with Chris, and until Chris is in a group home or has someone responsible moving in with him to babysit him for the rest of his life, Chris will continue to fall for this bullshit. Not only that, but Chris refuses to do anything to improve his situation. So now many feel that Chris is a lost cause, beyond help, so...fuck it. Let him stand or fall on his own, and let's see where this train finally goes off the rails and wrecks for good.
