Here's a question: what is the most miniscule possible change you could make to Chris, as a person (without changing events before 2000), that would have prevented Classic Chris from ever becoming famous on the internet?

If you're asking for an external force or event post-2000 that would have prevented Chris from rising to prominence, then I don't think there is one, but if your questions is more existential, then I have some ideas.

Chris took to the internet because his mind linked fame with success. That was fairly common for the time (and still remains today) -- most people think that fame = wealth, but peruse the Forbes list of wealthiest individuals, and you'll find a bunch of names you've never heard of before (unless you're an avid reader of Forbes, I suppose). Because Chris wanted to be a famous cartoonist, he put not only his work online but also himself. He reveled in all the attention he was getting -- even the negative attention -- because he assumed that he had legions of fans for every troll he encountered.

Things would have been totally different if he had a different outlook. If Chris had a healthy case of social anxiety or even just a concept of shame, he would hate putting himself out there for all to see. Or if he had read about cartoonists like Gary Larson who hardly made any public appearances but were still successful and beloved, maybe he would have emulated that.
Whatever the case, if he didn't want so badly to be a celebrity, he wouldn't be the king of lolcows today -- just a local weirdo / village idiot type. He'd still be a slow-in-the-mind, of course, but there are plenty of low IQ retards out there bumbling through life mostly anonymously. He may have still gotten into some of the same messes (e.g., getting kicked out of community college, harassing anyone who gets close to him, getting banned from The Game Place, setting his house on fire), but we wouldn't have had the trolling sagas, and nobody outside of Ruckersville would have known him.

I would change, Chris deciding to upload Sonichu #0 on the internet. I think it'd be better for him if he had done flyer type give outs. I feel like Sonichu was the reason most trolls were, well trolls. (Alec with Copyright and such things)

What if Chris never trooned out? I think HRT helped to fry is already frail mind and perhaps without it might slightly less crazy.

Considering he mutilated his own groin in an attempt to become woman pre-HRT, and had to be practically forced to seek medical attention, I think it really was a branching path. On one path, Chris fucks his own mom, and on the other, he kills himself and possibly takes Barb with him.

Is it fucked to believe the murder/suicide path is the better ending than being an actual motherfucker?
 
What if Chris had gone out as a school shooter when the college made him take down his attraction sign, how do you think the media would have portrayed him and would pokimg fun at Lolcows on the internet have even become a thing?

I don't think Chris could work out the safety of a gun.
