The purpose of Nintendo Power (and most other video game magazines, FTM) isn't to educate or inform or present varying viewpoints. Their sole purpose is to market video games under the guise of articles, rather than just blatantly running ads.
Nice choice of the screenshot with Chris being dismayed over his gift (fake Lego set).
It certainly fulfilled the need to show what could be done in the game, so it obviously worked for them (of course leaving out those small details on "Sonichu" so we didn't know he was autistic at all).
It is a well done documentary but is the guy who made it using a voice synthesizer or something? Sometimes, it seems like he's mispronouncing words or putting the emphasis on the wrong syllables.
It's not a documentary, it's more of a re-hashed chronology. At least @spylobster talked to people from special-ed about Chris' mental state.
That's the way I hear it as well. I'm sure Chris thinks he's clever in how he pronounces his names like that. I'm sure he's following the same BS convention he used for describing Sonichu's name being based on Sonic's Japanese name (Sonikku).
Nah, according to Chris' canon, it's Rose-chu, two syllables, not Rosa-chu, three syllables. He's very particular about this and for some reason it really pisses him off when people mispronounce it. I can't remember which video it was, but there was some video where he was chimping out about it.
I wouldn't doubt someone started out over the odd way he pronounced it in one video without thinking. But yeah, I suppose it stuck with us for that reason.
It's possible, but I'd like to see an actual example of him doing it. Pronunciation is going to be something where he decides on how it should be when he first thinks up the name, and then autistically sticks to it from then on. Especially if it pissed him off enough to tard out and make a video about it.
