Enablers

This girl managed to convince Chris that Magi-chan is real.

Enablers or devotees are those who encourage Chris's negative behaviour or self-destructive habits. In Christorical terms, an enabler is a hybrid of a white knight and ween; they differ from the latter in that they avoid making poor attempts to annoy Chris, instead focusing on ingratiating themselves to him, with various intents, with the invariable effect of furthering his delusions, and from the former in that they are not benevolent or truly interested in seeing Chris improve. Since the Idea Guys saga showed to everyone by mid-2018 that Chris really was this gullible, the go-to method for those trying to influence Chris has been to act as enablers of his delusions, replacing the previous method of posing as sweethearts. The term "enabler" was created by Christorians due to the growing epidemic of weens and white-knights that have been using the same technique to reach their goal, to the point where they became almost indistinguishable.

Is Chris really this gullible?

The short answer is yes.

The long answers is a bit more complicated. Chris' grip on what is real and what is being fed to him has decreased over the years, to such an extent that he is nearly incapable of distingishing seemingly even what ideas come from his head and what came from others. A prime example of this is Sockness, who used fictional dialogue between various characters between Chris' characters and his own imaginary pantheon. Chris fully believed that this dialogue was legitimate and expressed that he had heard it himself.

Justifications for enabling Chris

There are several justifications people make for enabling Chris, these include the following.

To make Chris produce content artificially

For most people, it would be utterly despicable to manipulate someone as mentally ill as Chris, let alone so that he can become a means for their enjoyment. For the enablers with more spiteful intents in mind, they would argue that the reason that they are further deluding Chris is because it would encourage him to produce more content. They would tell Chris all kinds of nonsensical stories, just so that he can act like their own personal lolcow to laugh at.

"It's the ultimate solution to making me the next Bluespike"

Some enablers try to manipulate Chris because they want to share the limelight with such big names in Christory like Alec Benson Leary and Bluespike. A recent enabler, Ben Saint, had badly attempted to develop a saga of his own within Christory by piggybacking off of the success of Alec Benson Leary, and Chris' infamy in order to promote his own comic, a parody of the Sonichu comics, and to solicit thousands of dollars. To do this, he fed Chris into his delusions, and added some of his own characters into the comics.

"I'm just supporting him/her/it"

This argument is most common among the more white knight or social-justice oriented crowd. Those who take this approach see Chris as a victim of the "alt-right trolls" or whatever villain of the week has been created to oppress them. As such, to them Chris is a beautiful, unique creature who is to be coddled and praised, regardless of the merit of that praise. Often this praise will be sycophantic in nature, with constant praise of Chris' artistic ability and creative genius. Another other common narrative is that Chris is a grown adult who is perfectly capable of taking care of himself, easily separating the wheat from the chaff in regards to orbiters. We'll let you decide how skilled he is.

Why you shouldn't be enabling Chris

Chris is probably beyond your ability to help at this point

As the years have passed Chris' mental state has deteriorated from fantasy-prone to complete detachment from reality. Chris has become extremely delusional to such an extent that he believes he is married to a purple Sonic recolor, a Pokemon and others as part of a polyamorous marriage, is a goddess with psychic powers, and has a religious following. By indulging Chris, that is, encouraging a 37-year-old man to believe he is really a deity and anime character after he was tricked into thinking that in the first place, You are only making things worse, and even helping to perpetuate the Idea Guys' fraud. When a person has deluded themselves into a belief that is potentially harmful to themselves and others, the best thing to do is not to reinforce said delusion, but rather to get the person professional help. Telling him that others agree with his nonsense only causes him to become even further detached from the real world than he already is.

Agreeing with Chris that he is the holy patroness of a computer from the Eighties and that cartoon characters will soon start showing up in the real world has also proven a prerequisite to interacting with him for any extended period of time. Even if you don't intend to indulge in his fantasies, you cannot interact with him normally to undo any of of the damage done by enablers. The Guard Dogs, who originally intended to keep Chris from getting manipulated again, also needed to play along by alleging that Chris's Amnyfest Ring was causing psychic chaos to gain their position over him. Most who are willing to play along with Chris in this way would justify their actions to third parties by professing they are doing this to help Chris in the end. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, Chris had refused to cooperate with them any further, and decided to go back to his fantasy world, and continued falling for other enablers, no matter what was told to him.

Chris also no longer believes in basic scientific principles, especially in the the biology department, and already believes himself, and presumably himself alone, to completely understand the difference between what is real and what is fictional. He believes that all diseases are a result of extreme stress, and that by being psychically connected to a virus, he can completely obliterate whatever ails him. Therefore, it is also not advisable to enable Chris due to it being a legitimate danger not only for his psyche, but also for his own body. For example, when Chris got a cold on December 2019, he believed that the primary reason for this was due to how he was triggered by the redesigns of his Sonichu characters by ProjectSNT. If Chris gets inflicted with a disease, he will tell himself that said illnesses simply arose from his emotions and disturbances from other dimensions. To continuously try and enable him with these beliefs, you are putting Chris at a risk of suffering even worse ailment without the proper care or treatment. Thus, you are putting Chris' life in danger.

It ultimately takes away the fun of watching Chris

What several enablers don't seem to realize is that most of the fun of watching Chris comes from the unusual way he responds to people and events himself. Rarely does interacting with him yourself create the same effect as him getting angry over a minor character alteration or getting irrationally mad at a nonexistent enemy. In the past, some of the best Chris content has come from his own head and actions. In fact, by enabling Chris, you are doing the exact opposite of what triggers the best of Chris by giving him what he wants or further confirming him and lulling him into a sense of complacency where he is less likely to produce meaningful and/or entertaining content. Chris will always try to get what he wants, whether or not it's good for him.

This kind of tactic has been done to death, whether you realize it or not

If Chris' many sagas have proven anything, it's that he is a gullible numbskull that will never learn from his past mistakes. As much as some people take enabling Chris for granted these days, you must remember that even before the Idea Guys, manipulating Chris was never a new or groundbreaking tactic. Confirming his beliefs is just a different flavor of manipulation, much like posing as a potential sweetheart. As a matter of fact, it's one of the earliest methods of trolling. No matter what you do with him, all you need to do is to pretend to give Chris what he wants, or to confirm a belief he holds dearly, regardless of whether or not you truly feel that way, and then give him directions on how he can achieve it.

A partially forgotten example of this is BlueSpike, one of Chris' first enablers, roleplaying as Julie. BlueSpike was a 13-year-old troll who wanted to take advantage of Chris' lust for having a sweetheart. Chris mistook him for another sweetheart solely due to his voice, and Bluespike was able to go under the pseudonym of Julie in order to tell him to take part in whatever sadistic acts he wanted him to. First a majority of the trolling involved Bluespike having fake telephone sex for hours every night as Chris masturbated. Afterwards, promising him that if he did so he could get into Julie's pants, he decided to take advantage of the situation by telling him to so whatever sadistic acts as he pleases, such as telling him to shove his Sonichu medallion up his ass, and telling him to record himself having sex with a blowup doll. Does this sound familiar?

Think about it, if Chris will just believe anything you tell him that easily, sees no problems with being manipulated so long as you act kind to him, and only sees every enabler as a means to confirm his own crazy theories, do you really think that enabling him will make you the next trolling sensation? The bottom line is that much like weening, enabling Chris doesn't make you stand out from anyone else that's tried to do so, and it can come off as desperate to gain 15 minutes of Internet fame.

If you fail hard enough, you will be laughed at by the Internet

Due to how many white knights and weens have been using the same technique of playing along with Chris' fantasies, it has become much more difficult for Chris to determine if someone's been messing with him, or if they're genuinely trying to help him. Due to his continued facade of kindness towards other people, he will of course always go for believing them first until they betray him. Therefore, enablers are always placed on the same level of people like White Knights, A-logs, and Weens by Christorians, and are readily assumed to be acting bad faith, no matter what they intended to do with Chris.

An infamous example of this is the failed trolling plan of Sarah and Steve. Sarah first got the attention of Chris by asking for a Rosechu medallion, which Chris had undoubtedly agreed to after they bribed him with a Nintendo Switch. Sarah then told Chris that she and Steve would move over to Virginia to be his only friends to "help" him out by giving him endless gifts and playing pretend with him as a means of further deluding Chris. This has brought them negative attention from trolls. Even more so when they made a rise up when they tried to get themselves noticed by other prominent enablers to be declared "King of the Weens".

A more infamous example would be Jacob Sockness, an amateur sorcerer from San Francisco who pretended to be sexually attracted to Chris.

The confidence built by playing make-believe with Chris has been abused several times, and made people complete laughing-stocks of the internet as a result. Sarah and Steve, Multidimensional White Knights and Jacob Sockness would all get their foot in the door by affirming Chris's beliefs, in some instances pretending to channel fictional characters from other dimensions, and then betray that trust for their own entertainment. Onlookers from Kiwi Farms and the CWCki itself have watched white knights reveal themselves in fact to be weens many times before. The CWCommunity at large treats weens without mercy. Even if you are not like the many traitors in recent Christory, it is impossible to get through to Chris any longer without deceiving him, and such guile is not looked upon favourably. Others have poisoned the well before you. You will be assumed to be acting in bad faith if you try to influence Chris for any reason, and treated accordingly.

If you go far enough, it can come off as just plain depraved

Out of all of the four groups represented in the Unholy Tetrad, enablers can arguably be considered the absolute worst in certain cases. Just like with A-logging, the biggest reason of all for why you shouldn't enable Chris is the legal liability. For some enablers, enabling Chris is more than just a game to mess with his comics. It can get to the point where they realize they can use his gullibility as a tool to do such malicious things to himself. Some can even tell him to go as far as telling him to commit abuse to both himself, and to other people. If this is to show you anything about enabling Chris, it's that much like in the case of A-Logging, if you go far enough with this practice, you will become the villain, rather than the funniest guy in the lunchroom.

Alternatively, even if you have good intentions and a desire to help Chris, this way of "helping Chris" is ironically one of the most harmful things you can do. By reinforcing the delusional state of a mentally ill person, you are doing nothing but make his life worse.

Financial enablers

Chris has gotten thousands from his audience over the years, in the form of donations and considerations. He has received thousands more in sales through storefronts such as eBay and Etsy.

Amount	From	Date received	Details
A laptop computer	A ween in N.C.	August 2011	Chris spoke about it in Gratitude for a good person in N.C.. A common theory is that the laptop had been infected with a keylogger, but Chris outsmarted the ween by upgrading the computer.
$500	Kiwi Farms	January 2014	Donated by fans after the house fire.
$150	Fans	September 2014	From a Kickstarter campaign in which Chris explicitly stated he would use it to buy Legos.
$1,000	DStecks	September 2015	Donated during the climax of his review series of Sonichu to fund the production of new pages for the comic; Chris used it to buy a new bed (arguably one of his only sensible purchases in recent years) but then failed to keep his side of the deal for almost two years.
$500	Kiwi Farms user Sonic Rainboom	September 2015	Sent Chris a Visa card with $500. Later admitted doing it to get "interesting content". It's worth noting the absurd hours that Chris was making these purchases- the majority of them were between midnight and 5 AM. Rainboom spent $500 to find that Chris likes McDonald's.
Hundreds	Mostly weens	Summer 2016	During the Financhu Crisis, a pattern formed of Chris begging for money, then briefly stating that he had received donations before begging for more money.
$2,650	Selling Relics of Fail	August 2016 onwards	Megatron pistol ($50), Sonic Totem ($1,500), Pokéwalker of Fail ($100), ShecameforCWC ($1,000, as part of a set)
$4,816.43	Patreon	December 2016 onwards	Chris earns pledges from fans and weens every month.
$1,000	Selling binders of old Pokémon and UFS cards.	January 2018 onwards	Four binders of cards. At least one was purchased by a seller hoping to resell the individual cards.
$100	Selling stained pages of Sonichu #14	February 2018	Literally selling trash.
$1,300	A fan named Jack Z	April 2018	Jack gave Chris $1,200 for a luxury trip to the 2018 BronyCon in the hopes that he would get to meet him there. Chris thanked him for the money in I have been paid to go; we’ll see if I can go (Seriously To Be Determined). Jack also paid $100 for a video (which Chris decided to bookend with unrelated begging announcements).
$1,000	Miss Cherry	July 2018	Tried the pay-to-play method to being Chris next sweetheart and failing.
$391	Aly Hirschberg.	Summer 2018	“ it’s about 3 hours wages for me, I don’t mind spending that on some christory ” During summer 2018, an anonymous 'vRS Davison' said in YouTube's comments section that she decided to spend $200 to buy an old blanket from Barb on eBay, because she somehow considered it to be a piece of "Christory". It evidently wasn't enough to pay a ridiculous sum of money for one blanket, as when Barb put more blankets up for sale, vRS Davison purchased another one for $100, plus $25 shipping. In October 2019, Aly Hirschberg would reveal that she purchased them through a US proxy. In November 2019, she paid for a $41 set of TSSSF cards and gave $50 for a Magi-Chan medallion.
$500	Jill Duncan	February 2019	A "Jill Duncan" pledged $500 per month to Chris's Patreon, asking to speak to Chris, then cancelled the pledge ten days later (but because Chris's Patreon account is set to "upfront payment", Chris still got the initial $500 and used it to purchase a replacement XBox). There is no indication Chris ever spoke to Jill, as she requested.
$400	Sarah and Steve	Spring 2019	Bought Chris a Nintendo Switch ($300), gave him $100 on Patreon. Also claimed to have funded a room for him at the 2019 BronyCon ($600) but pulled it due to Chris not paying attention to them.
~$2,000	Joseph Draft	April 2019	According to the creator of Chris-Chan: A Comprehensive History, who was approached by Draft before the now infamous trailer was relisted, in order to get footage for a documentary, he had payed Chris and Barb an undisclosed amount. Assuming that the Kickstarter was meant to cover the costs already made, the budgeted $2,000 as payment for the "collaborators" is the maximum amount Chris and Barb could have been given, from the information available.
$200	David90637947	May 2019	Commissioned Chris via Twitter for a Sonichu medallion, shelling out $200 in order to get Chris's attention (medallions were $30 each when Chris sold them on Ebay). Became a Twitter white knight for Chris, until Chris mass blocked some perceived trolls, including David. David pleading for the chance to buy a Sonichu medallion. Chris acknowledges him after he waves $200. The received medallion. David's glowing review. Whining over being blocked by Chris.
$600	BronyCon donor	July 2019	After Chris repeatedly begged on Twitter for $600 to fund a hotel room after his previous plan fell through (crashing with Sarah and Steve, who had ghosted him earlier because Chris kept ignoring their messages), a fan donated to Chris.
Total			~$17,616.43

Other enablers

Helena Fiorenza

Helena with Magi-Chan.

Helena Fiorenza, also known by her Twitter handle PickinyFelliny, is an Argentinian who draws surrealistic art. In September 2019, Helena posted to Twitter photoshopped drawings of Magi-Chan and role-played that she and Magi-Chan had gone on a date, tagging MagiChan111448. Chris noticed and followed Helena back. While in his own phase of role-playing as Magi-Chan, Chris answered:

The images Helena has been uploading chronicled the one day she and I shared together, and yes, I did spend the night; her bed was comfortable. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. My wish I made is coming true, as I had foreseen. 💜⚡️

In later updates she started to add to drawings of her OC (Known as Jeffrey) that was a trap. In later tweets she heavily implied that Magi-Chan and Jeffrey were dating, as well as sexually intimate, to which Chris noted on Nov 30th:

He does like to have fun at times, so his brain is not overworked. He also does enjoy the simple things when he can.

“	Christine...Please stop this, Mewtwo is not real, the merge is not happening, you need serious help. If you need help there are people to help you with these delusions. This is incredibly unhealthy for you.	”
AquaDiamond8, March 2019

“	Still i dont want [Jacob Sockness] attacking my people when the merge happens, Christine has said there will be no more war or need for violence in the merge, my Sapphire has forseen this	”
AquaDiamond8 changes her tune, November 2019

AquaDiamond8 and Magi-Chan. Drawn by Aqua November 2019.

AquaDiamond8 is a Twitter user who has bounced from being a ween, to a white knight, to an enabler. In November 2019, after having tried to discourage Chris's delusions months before, Aqua abruptly switched tactics and instead embraced Chris's delusional beliefs. She changed her Twitter handle to "CPU Goddess Aqua of the Mac Book Pro", echoing a similar move as fellow enabler MKRNightVee. Like MKR, Aqua had frequent spats with Sockness. Later, Aqua began drawing fanart of her OC interacting with Magi-Chan. She then posted a Pokémon drawing, claiming it to be an alt-dimension Magi-Chan:

Val Valentino, The Masked Magician. A celestial powerful magician Dex Enter: "This Magi-Chan is so powerful he has to mentally project a simplified form that the human mind can comprehend. Looking at his true form would drive you mad." Dex #: unknown

Chris was enticed by this news:

Seriously? You disovered an alt-dimension Magi-Chan Sonichu? This is a very interesting find. I'll look more into this one for myself. Also, for your information, regardless of which variant, Dimension or Timeline of origin, Special, Regular, or Mega Evolved, the Pokedex Number for Sonichu and Rosechu will always be at #982 and #979, respectively.

Aqua answered:

Oh i wasnt aware ill make sure to write that down. But he more discovered me in a way. I was meaning to chat with your hubby when i realized i wasnt in our normal meeting spot, then he appeared through a portal.
