Babiso: Undo revision 321874 by Babiso (talk)

[[File:0782-CWCSpread.JPG|thumb|Welcome to the world of [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris-Chan]].]]

'''Welcome, new Christorian.'''

New people are being initiated to the quirks and horrors of [[Chris]]'s world every day. Some of these people have simple questions that the veteran [[trolls|troll]] might be able to answer with the greatest of ease. However, people hate being asked the same questions time and time again, so this page shall serve as a quick database of some of the most common questions encountered.

All the questions can be answered in more detail than they appear here, which should be an incentive for you to go peruse the wiki and other resources to learn all you can about the Internet's favorite manchild.

''This page was last updated on March 9, 2024, but as the Christory constantly evolves, this page will have to follow.''
==Trolling==

; Is Chris a [[troll]]? Is the whole thing a hoax?
: '''No.''' The verified documentation on Chris and his entire life is far too complete and detailed for it to be a reverse-troll setup. There are news reports from his childhood confirming his autism (see [[Chris in the media]]). There are [[The Tale Of The Crazy Pacer|two]] [[University of Virginia#UVA student on Chris|different]] blogs about Chris's behavior that were published before Chris came to a wider attention on the Internet. [[Sonichu]] has existed since [[2000]]. Phone calls have been made to Chris's parents and his [[Rocky Shoemaker call|pastoral counselor]]. When Chris was first [[28 October 2011|arrested and convicted]] of a felony, he acted as he does online [[This is how the Trial went|even in court]], and accidentally [[Destruction Of Chris's House|set fire to]] [[14 Branchland Court|his house]] in real life as well. If you don't believe us, you can look up Chris's many [[Chris and the law|court records]], both civil and criminal.

: Chris's arrest for [[Affair with Mother|incest]] in August 2021 should put any speculation of his behavior being an act permanently to rest.

; How can you get off taunting an [[autistic]] <s>guy</s> person?
: The CWCki itself is not involved in any trolling; it merely documents Chris's life in detail. Most modern Chris-observers, having seen the [[Idea Guys|extreme damage]] that some trolls could wreak, hold a dim view of [[weening|contemporary trolling efforts]]. The motivations of Chris's trolls over the years has varied, but few had any interest in tormenting him simply for having a mental problem. Some former trolls have even [[BlueSpike#Today|expressed regret]] for taking things too far in their younger years.

: Even before the [[Affair with Mother|incest]] scandal, Chris has been notorious on the Internet as a [[Nudes|perverse]], [[Chris and Health#Hygiene|disgu]][[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|sting]], [[Chris and the Law|quarrelsome]], [[Chris and Anger|mean-spirited]], [[Chris and Reality|delusional]], [[Chris and his Ego|narcissistic]], [[Niggos|intol]][[Women's rights|erant]], [[Obesity|unfit]], [[Chris and death|unsympathetic]], [[Bob Chandler|ungrateful]], [[Manchester High School#Graduation|jealous]], [[The GAMe PLACe|kid-scaring]], [[List of Christian's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica|troll-feeding]], [[Chris and Religion|heretical]], [[Death Threats|spiteful]], [[Slow-in-the-minds|cruel]], [[Autism Tutorial Extra|hate]][[Aspergers (CWCipedia article)|ful]], [[Chris and work|sullen]], [[Kick the Autistic|antagonistic]], [[Chris and Art|completely]] [[Chris and Writing|and]] [[Chris and Music|utterly]] [[Spanish|untalented]] [[Parody|thi]][[Things Chris has ripped off|ef]] and all-around failure who wastes his [[United States|countrymen]]'s hard-earned [[Monthly tugboat|tax money]] on [[video games]] and [[sex toys]] while contributing nothing to society (comics aside), despite those with more severe mental states living far more independently and successfully.

: On top of that, Chris was once incredibly responsive to trolling, adding fuel to the fire by producing many videos in which he [[tard rage|raged]] at the camera as a result of trolling; this no doubt gave many trolls significant motivation. While Chris was [[Chris and manipulation|manipulated]] into making many of these videos, he ultimately decided to create and publish them.

:However, before you want to inflict harm upon Chris and claim that Chris gives you [[Autism|autistics]] 'a bad name', please read the [[A-Logging]] and [[Weening]] articles.

; Why don't you try helping him instead?
: [[Vivitheg|Many]] [[Jackie|people]] [[Clyde Cash|better]] [[Alec Benson Leary calls|than]] [[Sarah May|you]] have tried over the years and they have all accomplished [[Virginia Jeanine Sanford|nothing]]. See the [[White knight]] article for reasons for and against ''trying'' to save Chris. Regardless of how hard you try, he refuses to listen. Even his [[Anna McLerran|actual friends]] could not help him. From 2018 onward, he managed to alienate nearly all of his IRL friends, instead preferring interactions with [[imaginary friends]], [[enablers]], and fans at [[conventions]]. He will only listen if you tell him what he wants to hear.

; Can I give suggestions on how next to troll Chris?
: '''All efforts to troll or otherwise contact Chris are ''very strongly discouraged'''''. The effects of Chris's [[Bob Chandler|father]]'s death, his [[Barbara Chandler|mother]]'s ill-health and, most recently, the [[Idea Guys]]' deliberately manipulative trolling operations against him have left Chris's grasp on [[Chris and reality|reality]] (and his well-being in general) tenuous at best, with various [[enablers]] making it even worse. Relating to this is how he is [[Weening#The Chris of today is nothing like his former self|now a very, ''very'' different person]] from who he was when the trolling was at its peak, and only sees such attempts to provoke him as indirect support for his current worldview; so it's not even worth bothering with if you're going into it expecting to get amusing reactions along the lines of the past. For some time, the [[Kiwi Farms]] community, with which this wiki is associated, maintained a {{plain link|https://kiwifarms.net/threads/lunatics-who-attack-a-mentally-handicapped-person.35124/|wall of shame}} for [[weening|those]] who seek to disrupt Chris and entertain nobody, and even now will actively go after anyone who attempts to do so. Times have changed; so keeping all this in mind, you'll be far better off just sticking with [[CWCki|casual observation]] and helping to [[CWCki:Improvement|document and provide information]] on developments and occurrences in Chris's life as they come.

==Psychology==

; Is he currently seeing a psychiatrist or therapist?
: '''Maybe.''' Chris was legally required in [[2018]], among other things, to attend psychological therapy as an alternative to [[Chris and the law#2018|conviction]] after trespassing. Since 23 April 2019, he has fulfilled this obligation and no longer has any professional help. Chris dismisses the idea of seeking professional help, preferring to [[A Moment With Dr Wolf Chris Chan and Greater Struggles|administer it to himself using Lego]]. See [[Chris and mental healthcare]].
; Is he really autistic?
: '''Yes.''' Based on a cursory [[Autism papers#Intake Survey|psychiatric survey]] from [[2004]], Chris was diagnosed with ''autistic disorder'' (DSM-IV 299.00) as a young child, and the same report backs up his claim. See [[Autism]]. However, his common qualifying phrase ''high-functioning'' means only that he is not [[slow-in-the-minds|mentally retarded]]. The phrase is not formally part of the diagnosis, and many autism advocates discourage its use.

; Does he have [[Asperger's syndrome]]?
: '''It depends''' on what counts as ''having'' Asperger's. He has never been formally diagnosed with it, he has never claimed to have it, and in fact, he angrily rejects the label. Among institutions that still distinguish between autism and Asperger's, of which many do not, Asperger's syndrome is distinguished from severer varieties of autism by average intelligence and adequate language ability, matching Chris. Dr Asperger's work was in German, and not known to Anglophone psychiatrists until the early [[1990s]]; Chris probably would have received this diagnosis instead if he had been born a few years later. Furthermore, the condition was removed from the modern ''DSM-5'' and replaced with the catch-all ''Autism Spectrum Disorder'', making the distinction completely meaningless.

; Is he [[Slow-in-the-minds|retarded]] or intellectually disabled?
: '''[[:File:Honor Roll I dont think so.jpg|Maybe,]] but probably not in the clinical sense.''' A more proper word for Chris is ''inept''. Even if Chris was to be considered intellectually disabled, it'll certainly be a mild or borderline intellectual disability. Despite there being a possibility, he still managed to graduate from [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|community college]] and obtain a [[:Image:License.jpg|driver's license]]. He can read, write, do basic household chores, and operate electronic equipment. While his [[Chris and English|English]] skills aren't perfect, he has very few issues with basic sentence structure. Chris does understand the consequences of his actions to an extent. He has a consistent (albeit warped and [[Chris and his ego|self-serving]]) ethical system and recognizes when what he is doing is not working (though he chooses to pin the blame on [[Greene County Conspiracy|external]] [[trolls|forces]] or go about his way anyway). His foolishness is in that he has very little common sense, which may be attributed (along with the [[autism|obvious]]) to excessive parental sheltering, and that after years of Internet manipulation, his ability to distinguish [[Chris and reality|reality]] from fantasy has wasted away.

; What is Chris's IQ?
: '''That's inconclusive.''' In [[Mailbag 19]] and [[Mailbag 21]], he claimed to have taken an IQ test at a [[Chesterfield County]] institute, most likely as a teenager. He received an IQ of "150". In [[Mailbag 22]], a commenter pointed out that he may have taken the Cattell IQ test (150 on the Cattell is 130 on the standard scale), unless he was outright lying, which is most likely. An IQ of 130 is above average, but not genius material. Many autistic people also excel at pattern thinking, which is a key area of many IQ tests. Also, IQ doesn't measure [[Honor roll|what you've learned]], [[Kindness|empathy]], social skills, or other areas that count towards real-world success. Psychologists do not even agree on whether it's an objective measure of intelligence, with a common quip being that it "only measures how well you do on IQ tests." Even if Chris did have a high IQ, it hasn't done much for him in the real world.

; Is Chris schizophrenic?
: '''Probably not.''' While autism and schizophrenia share some symptoms, their development is nothing like each other. Autism is inborn and shows in early childhood, while schizophrenia usually appears well into adulthood. Schizophrenia's symptoms often deteriorate over time, while autism is normally constant throughout life (except for a few children who relapse into non-verbosity). <abbr title="Inability to distinguish reality from fantasy.">Psychosis</abbr> and confused language are common to both, but take different forms: schizophrenics may hear voices or otherwise hallucinate and think disjointedly (hence the name), while autists understand others' normal language literally, missing the subtext that something fictional is not meant to be taken seriously, and presuming their own thoughts automatically clear to others.

:Furthermore, Chris does distinguish between fantasy and reality, simply deluding himself into believing that the fantasy world is real on another [[dimension]]. Also, Chris's visions of that dimension come from [[meditation]] (read: daydreaming), not involuntary hallucinations.

==Sex==
; Is Chris an <abbr title="Involuntary celibate">incel</abbr>? If not, what's the deal with the love quest?
: Chris never used the word for himself, but his beliefs and actions overlapped significantly with what is now the incel community. The word ''incel'' only entered common use about [[2017]].<ref>[https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=incel Global search trends for ''incel'']</ref> Chris described himself long before this as a [[virgin with rage]], even bringing up the term in casual conversations with people he just met. He would speak of [[boyfriend-free girl]]s, the [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor]], and even a conspiracy that [[Virginia is for virgins|true love was illegal in his home state]].

: He viewed his search for a suitable mate as the [[Love Quest]], treating his search for a girlfriend like a video game. He wrote [[Saddest Heart in the World|poems]], [[I Want a Girlfriend for Christmas|letters to Santa]], and even [[So Need a Cute Girl|"Weird Al"-style parody songs]] about his biggest problem: that other [[JERKS]] (men) take all the pretty [[sweetheart]]s. He has lost his virginity to a [[Mia Hamm|prostitute]] and his only relationship that lead to sex was [[Affair with Mother|with his elderly mother]], not something you would consider a proper love life. His Love Quest only temporarly ended when he destroyed his libido through [[Chris and health#Hormone treatment|self-administered estrogen]] and [[polyamorous marriage|''married'']] his [[OC]]s by early 2018, but it seemed to resume in early 2021, the consequences of which we can see [[Jail Saga|ever]] [[Post-jail sightings (2023)#CVS|since]] [[Post-jail sightings (2023)#Isabella's Italian Trattoria Restaurant|then]]. While he now tries to hides his feelings towards women and sex a secret, he is deep down still an incel we once knew and loved.

; Why didn't he hire a prostitute earlier?
: For the majority of his [[love quest]], Chris refused to hire a hooker. The reasons varied: prostitutes are not [[TRUE and HONEST]] love, they are [[Chris and money|expensive]], and Chris is afraid of STDs<ref>[[Mumble 4|Mumble #4]]</ref>. His ideal sex partner would also do all the work around [[14 Branchland Court|the house]], give him her income to spend on video games, and otherwise serve as his replacement [[Barb|mother]]—all of which a prostitute would be unwilling to do. When some prostitutes were sent to his house in early [[2009]], he cried.<ref>[[Hooker incident]]</ref> However, as his thirties approached, he got more lenient about his policy towards hookers. He once tried to solicit the services of a prostitute by phone, and tried to get a discount by offering the chance of deflowering him and telling his life story; the prostitute hung up on him.<ref>[[Chris and sex|#Prostitution]]</ref> In [[April 2012]] though, Chris claimed on [[Facebook]] that he lost his virginity to [[Mia Hamm|a hooker]] who complimented him on the size of his penis.<ref>[[:File:Virginbreaker.png]]</ref>

; What is Chris's sexual orientation?
: This is a hotly debated point, and as of yet there is no consensus on this. For most of his adult life, Chris acted as though he was attracted to women. On the other hand, he clearly believes that previously-straight people can be turned gay, either by accident or through being tricked. In [[2018]], while under the [[Idea Guys]]' manipulative influence, Chris was [[brainwashed]] into believing he was [[bisexual]], and was [[polyamorous marriage|married to several of his (mostly male) fictional characters]], retaining these beliefs long after the Idea Guys were ousted, yet has made no attempts to get into a relationship with a real-life man. [[Jacob Sockness]] attempted to groom Chris into a relationship but Chris ultimately distanced himself from Sockness. Some consider that Chris is too immature to have earnest sexual attraction towards others (see ''Is Chris asexual?'', below.)

; Is he a [[Wikipedia:Furry fandom|furry]]?
: '''Yes.''' Chris had tweeted in [[2018]]  that he is one. Traditionally he would state that he did not consider himself to be one,<ref>[[Sarah_Reveals_Herself#Chris_tries_to_leave|Chris admits to Sarah May that he is slightly turned on by Rosechu, though he maintains he is not a furry.]]</ref> yet it was clear from an early period that he did enjoy [[:File:Chris-chan_Traced.JPG|porn]] of anthropomorphic characters, even [[Rule 34|drawing his own]] into [[Sonichu 8|his]] [[Giant Penis Comic|comics]]. He also identifies with [[Chris-Chan Sonichu|several]] [[Sonichu (character)|anthropomorphic]] [[Robbie|avatars]]. Although he does not regularly wear fur-suits, he did once dress up as [[ECV 00002|Chris-Chan Sonichu]], the anthropomorphic form he takes on his comic series, and has considered getting one in the recent years. He has also started following several furry artists and content creators on [[Youtube]] and [[Twitter]], such as AshCoyote, and has enjoyed a lot of furry fanart he has recieved from his [[True and Loyal fanbase]].

; Is he a [[pedofork|pedophile]]?
: '''No''', but people imply otherwise to troll him. One of the few kind things [[Mimms]] and [[Lucas]] said about Chris in a [[Mimms and Lucas Q&A|troll Q&A thread]] was that he probably wasn't a pedophile and that people are trying too hard with that. He ''has'' stated he would like to [[Mailbag 3#In which Chris advises Hitler to keep his Promises|lower his state's legal age of consent to sixteen]] and created a sexualized 14 year old Sonichu character in the form of [[Zapina]], but these actions are more likely due to a childish mindset and an inability to move past [[high school]] than latent pedophilia.

; Is Chris transgender?
: '''Yes.''' As of 2015, Chris identifies as [[transgender]]. He had explored his gender identity for years beforehand stemming from gender dysphoria issues, in 2011 identifying as a "tomgirl" (identifying as male and crossdressing as a woman); in 2014, identifying as [[August_2014_Facebook_Posts#Chris_comes_out...kinda|Intersex of Female Soul with Male Body, and a Tranny Cross-Dresser]] and as a lesbian; and identifying as female and transgender in 2015 when he began referring to himself as a "trans woman" and "Christine" and legally changed his name and gender in [[2016]]. Well before [[2011]], when Chris first called himself a tomgirl, he had been known to wear miniskirts, [[Muscle_bra|bras]], and panties. On multiple occasions, he had worn female clothing [[Forgot the Glitter|in public]] and had started wearing trans flag thigh-highs and bands more frequently during the [[Second Coming]].

; Is Chris asexual?
: This is another hotly contested issue to which there is no clear answer. Some claim that Chris is not truly interested in sexual relations, but feels that sex is something which a "grown up" is required to do. Chris's desire to lose his [[virgin with rage]] status may have simply been an urge to undergo what he saw as a traditional rite of passage into adulthood, although he has continued to seek out a sexual relationship even long after losing his virginity. It is clear that Chris's sex drive was atypical even before beginning hormone replacement therapy in [[2016]], evidenced by the fact that he did not discover [[masturbation]] until he was sixteen and even as an adult only engaged in the activity twice a week. On the other hand, much of Chris's adult life has been spent in the pursuit of a sex partner and his comic characters are [[Sonichu 8|highly sexual]]. It is worth noting that a moderately common autistic symptom is difficulty or inability to be intimate with another person. Many asexuals also possess a libido and can enjoy masturbation or sex; the difference lies in a lack of real attraction to other people.

; Did Chris really rape his mother?
: '''It's impossible to know for certain.''' Chris's detractors (and he has many) will vocally insist that he did, but there is no conclusive proof. Chris was only ever charged with incest, not rape, and there has been no definite confirmation of Barb having any mental incapacity. While there is plenty of [[Affair with Mother#Was it consensual?|compelling circumstantial evidence]] for both sides, ultimately only Chris and Barb can say for certain. Barb has never spoken publicly about it, and Chris is currently [[Lies|denying the incest itself ever took place]].

==Money and Work==

; Why does Chris call his disability check a "[[monthly tugboat]]"?
: The "tugboat" is one of Chris's [[CWC-isms]]; impenetrable mangled figures of speech that he either uses to avoid uncomfortable subjects or, in this case, because he thinks they are clever. "Tugboat" is derived from the phrase "Our ship has come in", referring to a fortuitous event. Whereas winning the lottery is like a large cruise ship coming in, for Chris, getting $1,000 a month for sitting on his ass is like a small boat—like a [[Wikipedia:Tugboat|tugboat]]—coming in for him.

; Has he ever had a [[job]] at all?
: He worked for [[Wendy's]] a few months in 2001, but he was fired for unknown reasons. He briefly sold knives for the multi-level marketing company [[Cutco]], which was his last true job (if you could call it that). During the [[Chris and business|Business Saga]] he was very active on Etsy, selling many custom-made Amiibos, Sonichu comics and so on, but he often sold them either at a loss or barely broke even, which resulted in the [[Financhu Crisis]]. He has also made plenty of [[commissions]] during the [[Everfree Northwest]] fundraiser and this has continued even after jail, with him making his custom medallions, selling literal rocks and making even more shitty commissions for the [[OfficialCWCMart]]. Some even speculate it's akin to being a sweatshop worker, but Chris enjoys doing it anyway, probably not even knowing it might be a real job.

; How much money does Chris make from his livestreams/Etsy shop?
: From watching his recent livestreams we can see that Chris typically receives between $600 - $700 in donations per stream. [[Praetor]]'s [[OfficialCWCmart|Etsy store]] sales have totaled well into the thousands of dollars, with individual [[Praetor Jail Art|jail art]] pieces selling for between $100 - $200 each, and some have even calculated their Etsy store to earn several thousands of bucks a month, though the exact revenue is unknown. It is generally speculated that Praetor takes a significant cut for themselves, though the exact details of their arrangement are not public knowledge. The only available info is from Chris, who claimed to get a measly $600 from a total of $4000 in sales during the [[Taser Call]].

==''Sonichu''==
; What's the deal with [[Sonic]], anyway?
: Chris has always liked family-friendly games in particular, and [[1993|many years ago,]] was one of 100 winners of a [[Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes|Sega contest]] which, through its grand prize of a $1000 {{w|KB Toys|Kay-Bee Toys}} shopping spree, allowed him to stock up on various ''Sonic'' titles. For some reason, the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series in general also appears to have certain qualities that attract autistic fans more than other game series.

; Where can I find the uncensored images from [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]]?
: For those who may be curious, they are located [[Sonichu 8#The uncensored scenes|here]].

; Will he ever draw more [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comics]]?
: Chris stopped drawing regular comics in [[February 2010]] with [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]; since then, he has released issues 11 to 13 and partially completed issues 14 to 17; however, these later issues often only bear a slight resemblance to the traditional comics and are more about whatever trolling issues have been happening. While in jail, he produced some one-off drawings; see [[Praetor Jail Art]], but has since continued work on the issue 25, now renamed to Sonichu 0 HD. Judging from the contents of the message Chris has sent out to the winners of his [[CWC Art Contest]], he has also attempted to outsource the art for the comics to his unlucky fans.

==Contact Chris==
; I want to e-mail Chris and pretend to be [[Megan]]/[[Jimmy Hill]]/[[Jesus]]/[[Michael Snyder]]. Can I have his e-mail?
: He has had many emails over the years, but his most commonly used ones are @cwcvillegoddess and ChrisChanSonichu@aol.com, but Chris does not read e-mails from people he doesn't already know<ref>[[Kacey Call 23]]: "I don't even bother to open their e-mails. So I just expand on the e- on the sender's address and then add them to my block list."</ref>, and it's possible that Praetor has a strict control over these, judging from some of the info he has put out since.

; What is his dox?
: Chris's dox can be found [[NO D*** WAY, IMPOSTOR!!!|here]].

==The CWCki itself==
; Does the CWCki exaggerate or spin anything?
: The editors here try their hardest to paint an accurate picture of Chris's life, but that is sometimes difficult due to the subject matter and the intentional omission of information from trolls who were [[Manipulation|manipulating]] Chris. Many were CWCki editors themselves. This is especially true for the [[Classic Chris]] era.

: For various good reasons, the CWCki largely covers the Classic sagas from Chris's perspective: information presented here was what Chris acknowledges to be true. Trolls are merely players on the stage that is Chris's life. It is probably best to understand the world of Chris as he understands it, much as it is best to understand a fictional world from the point of view of its characters, rather than the underlying reality of it. In other words, while Chris's reactions to events are real and the documentation of the reactions are indeed real, the situations and characters that provoke these reactions are often contrived, especially when covering events prior to Bob's death.

: For example:

:* [[Clyde Cash]] was the fictitious persona of a single anonymous troll, but the CWCki treats him as if he ''were'' a real person because he was to Chris. We also treat each of his personas as separate people because they were to Chris.

:* We keep a single article on [[Blanca]] and not the multiple male trolls who played her.

:* [[Emily]] and [[Kim]] were played by the same woman, but the CWCki treats them as separate people because they were to Chris.

:* Celebrity trolls are obviously trolls impersonating celebrities – did you really think [[Billy Mays]] was involved in trolling?

: For transparency's sake, the CWCki discloses such discrepancies from reality using Protip boxes, troll disclosures, and other notices.

: Coverage of Modern Christory takes a more matter-of-fact approach, thanks to the ease of [[dox]]ing Internet trolls. Modern CWCki editors are also gradually transitioning classic articles away from the dramatized writing of yesterday, so those who prefer clarity are in luck.

; What's the deal with ''Chris and''? What is a saga?
: The CWCki has '''a few series that tie it all together'''. You can think of them as the skeleton, bloodstream, and nervous system of the site.
:* The [[Chris and]] series. This series is purely topical – it discusses subjects as they relate to Chris, regardless of the time period. These are the things that make Chris Chris. Such topics range from Chris's relationship with [[Chris and art|art]] and [[Video games|gaming]], to his [[health|physical]] and [[Coping|mental health]].
:* The [[Saga]] page. It describes the major events in Chris's life from the womb to the modern world, but still takes a topical approach, looking at arcs and happenings in Chris's existence.
:* The [[CWChronology]]: purely chronological as its name suggests. Here, you can learn Chris's entire story from start to now, even including events from before his conception.
; What happened to the tagline ''Where no shit is too minor''?
: The tagline was '''retired''' on 20 December 2019, '''because there was a significant increase in people trying to influence Chris'''. Many of them fall into one of the ''[[Unholy Tetrad]]'':
:* [[White Knights]] – people who feel sorry for Chris, and try to help Chris, often without realising that getting Chris to halt his [[Chris and his Ego|self-destructive lifestyle]] is going to take a lot more than [[April 2017 Facebook posts#Chris explains why he won't get a job|a message]] on social media, or a [[Patreon]] donation.
:* [[A-Logging|A-logs]] – people who express disproportionate hatred for Chris, often wishing [[Destruction Of Chris's House|misery]] or physical harm on him.
:* [[Enablers]] – people who encourage Chris’s negative habits. Some White Knights find themselves having to do this to get in touch with Chris. Some weens have also found themselves doing this to purposefully screw him up.
:* [[Weens]] – people who try and fail to annoy Chris.

; Why does the CWCki continue to refer to Chris by his old name and pronouns?
:*The simplest reason for this is '''consistency'''. The CWCki has thousands of articles, and it would be an impossible, arduous task to change every "he" to "she" throughout Chris's entire existence, plus it's effectively [[Retcon|historical revisionism]].
:*Some articles require the context of Chris's maleness. References to Chris's orientation and past hatred of [[gay]] men won't be as obvious if we didn't address Chris by his assigned gender. Same thing with atypical/feminine behavior (such as his high voice and use of "Gal-Pals"), and behavior considered creepy for guys but not so much for women (such as getting [[Megan|touchy-feely]]).
:*Using "he" pre-transition and "she" post-transition may seem like a fair compromise, but the exact beginning of Chris's transition is hard to define. It can be confusing on articles that cover Chris both before and after his transition, such as the [[Chris and]] series. Dissenting users have also suggested using "(s)he" or "they", but Chris doesn't use they/them pronouns either, and "(s)he" looks clunky.
:*Community consensus. YouTube and Twitter commentators overwhelmingly call Chris male, as do some [[Sachumo|documentarians]]. While Chris did receive a legal name/gender change, there's considerable debate in the community as to whether he is a genuine trans woman. CWC communities, such as [[Kiwi Farms]], have an unfortunate tendency to "misgender" trans people in general. [[Null]] said he refers to Chris as "he" because he "carries male genetics" and insisted that he was a straight male most of his life. Most Christorians use "he" for Chris, and the CWCki reflects this trend.
:* Relating to the above, his previous first names ('''Chris'''topher, '''Chris'''tian) and his current one ('''Chris'''tine) can all easily be shortened to just "Chris", "Chris-Chan" or "CWC", which is what he's mostly referred to as anyway regardless of pronouns.

==Miscellaneous==

; What does he smell like?
: As of 19 October 2019, {{plain link|https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/post-5483529|cannabis}}. Historical answers include "rotten watermelons" (according to [[Emily]]), a variant of the [[Collosal Chan|homeless person]] stench (according to [[Robert Simmons V]]) or, as some field agents have reported, 'body odor masked with gallons of [[Axe]]'. While in jail, it seemed as if his hygiene had improved, with [[Jail Letter - 16 November 2021|daily showers]] the norm, but by the time of the May 2023, it has deteriorated, to the point that one person stated he smelled of "pure shit I had to inhale very shallowly". The point is, [[Chris and health#Hygiene|Chris smells awful]].

; What's the deal with Chris's [[Heterochromia|eyes]]?
: According to Chris, his eyes were originally blue but he got pink eye in his right eye during high school and medication for it turned it green. His eyes are only faintly different and definitely not to the degree that they're depicted in his [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|comic form]]. A cursory examination of [[:File:0043-YoungChristopher2.jpg|this image]] demonstrates that he has had heterochromia since at least elementary school. Additionally, it's fairly common for people with blue or green eyes to have one eye of a slightly different hue.

; What's the deal with the striped shirts?
: Many of Chris's shirts were bought by [[Barbara Chandler|his mother]] from the Salvation Army and Goodwill.<ref>[[Mailbag 42|Mailbag #42]]</ref> Following Chris's introduction to the world of Internet trolling, [[Chris and fashion|his wardrobe went through several iterations]] before eventually settling on its current [[tomgirl]] form, but he has since purchased at least two simillar T-shirts to capitalise on the nostalgia, dubbed The Classic 2.0 and The Classic (Replica) by the CWCki.

; What's the deal with the [[Shirt#Wrist warmer|yellow thing]] on the back of the [[Medallion of Fail|medallion]] chain?
: It's a Wilson wrist warmer he wears because the chain irritates his skin,<ref>E-mail from Chris posted in old PVCC thread #162</ref> probably due to [[Wikipedia:Sensory defensiveness|sensory defensiveness]], a common [[autism|autistic]] symptom.

; Does Chris drink or do [[drugs]]?
: Chris was firmly against [[Tobacky|smoking]] and drug abuse. For much of his life, he was equally strongly opposed to [[alcohol|drinking]] as well, but a video of him drinking a [[semen|salty]]-tasting [[Long Island Iced Tea]] turned up in [[2009]] and he has since softened his stance, saying he is a "social drinker".<ref>Mailbag_16#Alcoholism</ref> He has since been known to drink [[6 June 2010|Budweiser]], [[100 2281|Kahlúa]] and vodka, but seems to drink only occasionally, or when encouraged by [[troll]]s. He also smoked marijuana with the [[Teen Troon Squad]]. He was legally required to abstain from any drugs or alcohol after being placed on Virginia's [[Chris and the law|Therapeutic Docket]] in late 2018 and early 2019.

; What's this about Jimmy Hill?
: [[Jimmy Hill]] was a trolling effort run by the Something Awful Sycophant Squad (S.A.S.S.), but disintegrated in [[November 2008]] at the same time the board collapsed. It was supposed to make Chris believe someone was stealing his [[Sonichu]] character, since possible theft of Sonichu seems to be one of the few things that gets him worked up into a fury. Chris stopped believing in Jimmy Hill some time after when he noticed the page never updated. This is one of the very few recorded examples of Chris realizing that someone was a troll without them openly declaring it. Despite this, he still has a grudge against Jimmy Hill, leaving him in the final version of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] from [[December 2009]].

: Of note, Jimmy Hill passed the "rights" to Sonichu in Europe to [[Liquid Chris|the TRUE and HONEST Christian Weston Chandler]]. Hill died in 2015.

; What do [[Megan]]/[[Michael Snyder]]/Old Gal-Pals/et. cetera think of Chris now that he spooned his mother?
: It is not known for certain what people from earlier in Chris's life make of his incestuous affair with his mother. Most of these people have moved on from Chris since then. Please do not attempt to contact them.

; Where does Chris currently publish new content?
: As of [[October 2023]] Chris's current YouTube channel is [https://www.youtube.com/@CwcvilleGuardian CwcvilleGuardian]. He posts on Twitter/X as [https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu CPU_CWCSonichu]. He does have a few more social media accounts, such as one on Bluesky, but they are either abandoned or barely utilised.

; Is Barbara dead?
: No, and if you have to ask that question she almost definitely isn't. Fake obituaries for Barb are [[Weening|fairly common]]. The actual news of her eventual passing will likely come directly from Chris himself.

; Where can I learn more about this singular human anomaly?
: Well, right here at [[CWCki|this fine wiki]], of course. If you really want to induct yourself into the horrors of Chris, we would recommend starting with where it began for most of us: the [[Megan|Megan Saga and the release of the e-mail correspondence between the two]].

CWCki:Frequently Asked Questions

2024-03-19T00:47:13Z

Babiso:

[[File:0782-CWCSpread.JPG|thumb|Welcome to the world of [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris-Chan]].]]

'''Welcome, new Christorian.'''

New people are being initiated to the quirks and horrors of [[Chris]]'s world every day. Some of these people have simple questions that the veteran [[trolls|troll]] might be able to answer with the greatest of ease. However, people hate being asked the same questions time and time again, so this page shall serve as a quick database of some of the most common questions encountered.

All the questions can be answered in more detail than they appear here, which should be an incentive for you to go peruse the wiki and other resources to learn all you can about the Internet's favorite manchild.

''This page was last updated on March 9, 2024, but as the Christory constantly evolves, this page will have to follow.''
==Trolling==

; Is Chris a [[troll]]? Is the whole thing a hoax?
: '''No.''' The verified documentation on Chris and his entire life is far too complete and detailed for it to be a reverse-troll setup. There are news reports from his childhood confirming his autism (see [[Chris in the media]]). There are [[The Tale Of The Crazy Pacer|two]] [[University of Virginia#UVA student on Chris|different]] blogs about Chris's behavior that were published before Chris came to a wider attention on the Internet. [[Sonichu]] has existed since [[2000]]. Phone calls have been made to Chris's parents and his [[Rocky Shoemaker call|pastoral counselor]]. When Chris was first [[28 October 2011|arrested and convicted]] of a felony, he acted as he does online [[This is how the Trial went|even in court]], and accidentally [[Destruction Of Chris's House|set fire to]] [[14 Branchland Court|his house]] in real life as well. If you don't believe us, you can look up Chris's many [[Chris and the law|court records]], both civil and criminal.

: Chris's arrest for [[Affair with Mother|incest]] in August 2021 should put any speculation of his behavior being an act permanently to rest.

; How can you get off taunting an [[autistic]] <s>guy</s> person?
: The CWCki itself is not involved in any trolling; it merely documents Chris's life in detail. Most modern Chris-observers, having seen the [[Idea Guys|extreme damage]] that some trolls could wreak, hold a dim view of [[weening|contemporary trolling efforts]]. The motivations of Chris's trolls over the years has varied, but few had any interest in tormenting him simply for having a mental problem. Some former trolls have even [[BlueSpike#Today|expressed regret]] for taking things too far in their younger years.

: Even before the [[Affair with Mother|incest]] scandal, Chris has been notorious on the Internet as a [[Nudes|perverse]], [[Chris and Health#Hygiene|disgu]][[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|sting]], [[Chris and the Law|quarrelsome]], [[Chris and Anger|mean-spirited]], [[Chris and Reality|delusional]], [[Chris and his Ego|narcissistic]], [[Niggos|intol]][[Women's rights|erant]], [[Obesity|unfit]], [[Chris and death|unsympathetic]], [[Bob Chandler|ungrateful]], [[Manchester High School#Graduation|jealous]], [[The GAMe PLACe|kid-scaring]], [[List of Christian's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica|troll-feeding]], [[Chris and Religion|heretical]], [[Death Threats|spiteful]], [[Slow-in-the-minds|cruel]], [[Autism Tutorial Extra|hate]][[Aspergers (CWCipedia article)|ful]], [[Chris and work|sullen]], [[Kick the Autistic|antagonistic]], [[Chris and Art|completely]] [[Chris and Writing|and]] [[Chris and Music|utterly]] [[Spanish|untalented]] [[Parody|thi]][[Things Chris has ripped off|ef]] and all-around failure who wastes his [[United States|countrymen]]'s hard-earned [[Monthly tugboat|tax money]] on [[video games]] and [[sex toys]] while contributing nothing to society (comics aside), despite those with more severe mental states living far more independently and successfully.

: On top of that, Chris was once incredibly responsive to trolling, adding fuel to the fire by producing many videos in which he [[tard rage|raged]] at the camera as a result of trolling; this no doubt gave many trolls significant motivation. While Chris was [[Chris and manipulation|manipulated]] into making many of these videos, he ultimately decided to create and publish them.

:However, before you want to inflict harm upon Chris and claim that Chris gives you [[Autism|autistics]] 'a bad name', please read the [[A-Logging]] and [[Weening]] articles.

; Why don't you try helping him instead?
: [[Vivitheg|Many]] [[Jackie|people]] [[Clyde Cash|better]] [[Alec Benson Leary calls|than]] [[Sarah May|you]] have tried over the years and they have all accomplished [[Virginia Jeanine Sanford|nothing]]. See the [[White knight]] article for reasons for and against ''trying'' to save Chris. Regardless of how hard you try, he refuses to listen. Even his [[Anna McLerran|actual friends]] could not help him. From 2018 onward, he managed to alienate nearly all of his IRL friends, instead preferring interactions with [[imaginary friends]], [[enablers]], and fans at [[conventions]]. He will only listen if you tell him what he wants to hear.

; Can I give suggestions on how next to troll Chris?
: '''All efforts to troll or otherwise contact Chris are ''very strongly discouraged'''''. The effects of Chris's [[Bob Chandler|father]]'s death, his [[Barbara Chandler|mother]]'s ill-health and, most recently, the [[Idea Guys]]' deliberately manipulative trolling operations against him have left Chris's grasp on [[Chris and reality|reality]] (and his well-being in general) tenuous at best, with various [[enablers]] making it even worse. Relating to this is how he is [[Weening#The Chris of today is nothing like his former self|now a very, ''very'' different person]] from who he was when the trolling was at its peak, and only sees such attempts to provoke him as indirect support for his current worldview; so it's not even worth bothering with if you're going into it expecting to get amusing reactions along the lines of the past. For some time, the [[Kiwi Farms]] community, with which this wiki is associated, maintained a {{plain link|https://kiwifarms.net/threads/lunatics-who-attack-a-mentally-handicapped-person.35124/|wall of shame}} for [[weening|those]] who seek to disrupt Chris and entertain nobody, and even now will actively go after anyone who attempts to do so. Times have changed; so keeping all this in mind, you'll be far better off just sticking with [[CWCki|casual observation]] and helping to [[CWCki:Improvement|document and provide information]] on developments and occurrences in Chris's life as they come.

==Psychology==

; Is he currently seeing a psychiatrist or therapist?
: '''Maybe.''' Chris was legally required in [[2018]], among other things, to attend psychological therapy as an alternative to [[Chris and the law#2018|conviction]] after trespassing. Since 23 April 2019, he has fulfilled this obligation and no longer has any professional help. Chris dismisses the idea of seeking professional help, preferring to [[A Moment With Dr Wolf Chris Chan and Greater Struggles|administer it to himself using Lego]]. See [[Chris and mental healthcare]].
; Is he really autistic?
: '''Yes.''' Based on a cursory [[Autism papers#Intake Survey|psychiatric survey]] from [[2004]], Chris was diagnosed with ''autistic disorder'' (DSM-IV 299.00) as a young child, and the same report backs up his claim. See [[Autism]]. However, his common qualifying phrase ''high-functioning'' means only that he is not [[slow-in-the-minds|mentally retarded]]. The phrase is not formally part of the diagnosis, and many autism advocates discourage its use.

; Does he have [[Asperger's syndrome]]?
: '''It depends''' on what counts as ''having'' Asperger's. He has never been formally diagnosed with it, he has never claimed to have it, and in fact, he angrily rejects the label. Among institutions that still distinguish between autism and Asperger's, of which many do not, Asperger's syndrome is distinguished from severer varieties of autism by average intelligence and adequate language ability, matching Chris. Dr Asperger's work was in German, and not known to Anglophone psychiatrists until the early [[1990s]]; Chris probably would have received this diagnosis instead if he had been born a few years later. Furthermore, the condition was removed from the modern ''DSM-5'' and replaced with the catch-all ''Autism Spectrum Disorder'', making the distinction completely meaningless.

; Is he [[Slow-in-the-minds|retarded]] or intellectually disabled?
: '''[[:File:Honor Roll I dont think so.jpg|Maybe,]] but probably not in the clinical sense.''' A more proper word for Chris is ''inept''. Even if Chris was to be considered intellectually disabled, it'll certainly be a mild or borderline intellectual disability. Despite there being a possibility, he still managed to graduate from [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|community college]] and obtain a [[:Image:License.jpg|driver's license]]. He can read, write, do basic household chores, and operate electronic equipment. While his [[Chris and English|English]] skills aren't perfect, he has very few issues with basic sentence structure. Chris does understand the consequences of his actions to an extent. He has a consistent (albeit warped and [[Chris and his ego|self-serving]]) ethical system and recognizes when what he is doing is not working (though he chooses to pin the blame on [[Greene County Conspiracy|external]] [[trolls|forces]] or go about his way anyway). His foolishness is in that he has very little common sense, which may be attributed (along with the [[autism|obvious]]) to excessive parental sheltering, and that after years of Internet manipulation, his ability to distinguish [[Chris and reality|reality]] from fantasy has wasted away.

; What is Chris's IQ?
: '''That's inconclusive.''' In [[Mailbag 19]] and [[Mailbag 21]], he claimed to have taken an IQ test at a [[Chesterfield County]] institute, most likely as a teenager. He received an IQ of "150". In [[Mailbag 22]], a commenter pointed out that he may have taken the Cattell IQ test (150 on the Cattell is 130 on the standard scale), unless he was outright lying, which is most likely. An IQ of 130 is above average, but not genius material. Many autistic people also excel at pattern thinking, which is a key area of many IQ tests. Also, IQ doesn't measure [[Honor roll|what you've learned]], [[Kindness|empathy]], social skills, or other areas that count towards real-world success. Psychologists do not even agree on whether it's an objective measure of intelligence, with a common quip being that it "only measures how well you do on IQ tests." Even if Chris did have a high IQ, it hasn't done much for him in the real world.

; Is Chris schizophrenic?
: '''Probably not.''' While autism and schizophrenia share some symptoms, their development is nothing like each other. Autism is inborn and shows in early childhood, while schizophrenia usually appears well into adulthood. Schizophrenia's symptoms often deteriorate over time, while autism is normally constant throughout life (except for a few children who relapse into non-verbosity). <abbr title="Inability to distinguish reality from fantasy.">Psychosis</abbr> and confused language are common to both, but take different forms: schizophrenics may hear voices or otherwise hallucinate and think disjointedly (hence the name), while autists understand others' normal language literally, missing the subtext that something fictional is not meant to be taken seriously, and presuming their own thoughts automatically clear to others.

:Furthermore, Chris does distinguish between fantasy and reality, simply deluding himself into believing that the fantasy world is real on another [[dimension]]. Also, Chris's visions of that dimension come from [[meditation]] (read: daydreaming), not involuntary hallucinations.

==Sex==
; Is Chris an <abbr title="Involuntary celibate">incel</abbr>? If not, what's the deal with the love quest?
: Chris never used the word for himself, but his beliefs and actions overlapped significantly with what is now the incel community. The word ''incel'' only entered common use about [[2017]].<ref>[https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=incel Global search trends for ''incel'']</ref> Chris described himself long before this as a [[virgin with rage]], even bringing up the term in casual conversations with people he just met. He would speak of [[boyfriend-free girl]]s, the [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor]], and even a conspiracy that [[Virginia is for virgins|true love was illegal in his home state]].

: He viewed his search for a suitable mate as the [[Love Quest]], treating his search for a girlfriend like a video game. He wrote [[Saddest Heart in the World|poems]], [[I Want a Girlfriend for Christmas|letters to Santa]], and even [[So Need a Cute Girl|"Weird Al"-style parody songs]] about his biggest problem: that other [[JERKS]] (men) take all the pretty [[sweetheart]]s. He has lost his virginity to a [[Mia Hamm|prostitute]] and his only relationship that lead to sex was [[Affair with Mother|with his elderly mother]], not something you would consider a proper love life. His Love Quest only temporarly ended when he destroyed his libido through [[Chris and health#Hormone treatment|self-administered estrogen]] and [[polyamorous marriage|''married'']] his [[OC]]s by early 2018, but it seemed to resume in early 2021, the consequences of which we can see [[Jail Saga|ever]] [[Post-jail sightings (2023)#CVS|since]] [[Post-jail sightings (2023)#Isabella's Italian Trattoria Restaurant|then]]. While he now tries to hides his feelings towards women and sex a secret, he is deep down still an incel we once knew and loved.

; Why didn't he hire a prostitute earlier?
: For the majority of his [[love quest]], Chris refused to hire a hooker. The reasons varied: prostitutes are not [[TRUE and HONEST]] love, they are [[Chris and money|expensive]], and Chris is afraid of STDs<ref>[[Mumble 4|Mumble #4]]</ref>. His ideal sex partner would also do all the work around [[14 Branchland Court|the house]], give him her income to spend on video games, and otherwise serve as his replacement [[Barb|mother]]—all of which a prostitute would be unwilling to do. When some prostitutes were sent to his house in early [[2009]], he cried.<ref>[[Hooker incident]]</ref> However, as his thirties approached, he got more lenient about his policy towards hookers. He once tried to solicit the services of a prostitute by phone, and tried to get a discount by offering the chance of deflowering him and telling his life story; the prostitute hung up on him.<ref>[[Chris and sex|#Prostitution]]</ref> In [[April 2012]] though, Chris claimed on [[Facebook]] that he lost his virginity to [[Mia Hamm|a hooker]] who complimented him on the size of his penis.<ref>[[:File:Virginbreaker.png]]</ref>

; What is Chris's sexual orientation?
: This is a hotly debated point, and as of yet there is no consensus on this. For most of his adult life, Chris acted as though he was attracted to women. On the other hand, he clearly believes that previously-straight people can be turned gay, either by accident or through being tricked. In [[2018]], while under the [[Idea Guys]]' manipulative influence, Chris was [[brainwashed]] into believing he was [[bisexual]], and was [[polyamorous marriage|married to several of his (mostly male) fictional characters]], retaining these beliefs long after the Idea Guys were ousted, yet has made no attempts to get into a relationship with a real-life man. [[Jacob Sockness]] attempted to groom Chris into a relationship but Chris ultimately distanced himself from Sockness. Some consider that Chris is too immature to have earnest sexual attraction towards others (see ''Is Chris asexual?'', below.)

; Is he a [[Wikipedia:Furry fandom|furry]]?
: '''Yes.''' Chris had tweeted in [[2018]]  that he is one. Traditionally he would state that he did not consider himself to be one,<ref>[[Sarah_Reveals_Herself#Chris_tries_to_leave|Chris admits to Sarah May that he is slightly turned on by Rosechu, though he maintains he is not a furry.]]</ref> yet it was clear from an early period that he did enjoy [[:File:Chris-chan_Traced.JPG|porn]] of anthropomorphic characters, even [[Rule 34|drawing his own]] into [[Sonichu 8|his]] [[Giant Penis Comic|comics]]. He also identifies with [[Chris-Chan Sonichu|several]] [[Sonichu (character)|anthropomorphic]] [[Robbie|avatars]]. Although he does not regularly wear fur-suits, he did once dress up as [[ECV 00002|Chris-Chan Sonichu]], the anthropomorphic form he takes on his comic series, and has considered getting one in the recent years. He has also started following several furry artists and content creators on [[Youtube]] and [[Twitter]], such as AshCoyote, and has enjoyed a lot of furry fanart he has recieved from his [[True and Loyal fanbase]].

; Is he a [[pedofork|pedophile]]?
: '''No''', but people imply otherwise to troll him. One of the few kind things [[Mimms]] and [[Lucas]] said about Chris in a [[Mimms and Lucas Q&A|troll Q&A thread]] was that he probably wasn't a pedophile and that people are trying too hard with that. He ''has'' stated he would like to [[Mailbag 3#In which Chris advises Hitler to keep his Promises|lower his state's legal age of consent to sixteen]] and created a sexualized 14 year old Sonichu character in the form of [[Zapina]], but these actions are more likely due to a childish mindset and an inability to move past [[high school]] than latent pedophilia.

; Is Chris transgender?
: '''Yes.''' As of 2015, Chris identifies as [[transgender]]. He had explored his gender identity for years beforehand stemming from gender dysphoria issues, in 2011 identifying as a "tomgirl" (identifying as male and crossdressing as a woman); in 2014, identifying as [[August_2014_Facebook_Posts#Chris_comes_out...kinda|Intersex of Female Soul with Male Body, and a Tranny Cross-Dresser]] and as a lesbian; and identifying as female and transgender in 2015 when he began referring to himself as a "trans woman" and "Christine" and legally changed his name and gender in [[2016]]. Well before [[2011]], when Chris first called himself a tomgirl, he had been known to wear miniskirts, [[Muscle_bra|bras]], and panties. On multiple occasions, he had worn female clothing [[Forgot the Glitter|in public]] and had started wearing trans flag thigh-highs and bands more frequently during the [[Second Coming]].

; Is Chris asexual?
: This is another hotly contested issue to which there is no clear answer. Some claim that Chris is not truly interested in sexual relations, but feels that sex is something which a "grown up" is required to do. Chris's desire to lose his [[virgin with rage]] status may have simply been an urge to undergo what he saw as a traditional rite of passage into adulthood, although he has continued to seek out a sexual relationship even long after losing his virginity. It is clear that Chris's sex drive was atypical even before beginning hormone replacement therapy in [[2016]], evidenced by the fact that he did not discover [[masturbation]] until he was sixteen and even as an adult only engaged in the activity twice a week. On the other hand, much of Chris's adult life has been spent in the pursuit of a sex partner and his comic characters are [[Sonichu 8|highly sexual]]. It is worth noting that a moderately common autistic symptom is difficulty or inability to be intimate with another person. Many asexuals also possess a libido and can enjoy masturbation or sex; the difference lies in a lack of real attraction to other people.

; Did Chris really rape his mother?
: '''It's impossible to know for certain.''' Chris's detractors (and he has many) will vocally insist that he did, but there is no conclusive proof. Chris was only ever charged with incest, not rape, and there has been no definite confirmation of Barb having any mental incapacity. While there is plenty of [[Affair with Mother#Was it consensual?|compelling circumstantial evidence]] for both sides, ultimately only Chris and Barb can say for certain. Barb has never spoken publicly about it, and Chris is currently [[Lies|denying the incest itself ever took place]].

==Money and Work==

; Why does Chris call his disability check a "[[monthly tugboat]]"?
: The "tugboat" is one of Chris's [[CWC-isms]]; impenetrable mangled figures of speech that he either uses to avoid uncomfortable subjects or, in this case, because he thinks they are clever. "Tugboat" is derived from the phrase "Our ship has come in", referring to a fortuitous event. Whereas winning the lottery is like a large cruise ship coming in, for Chris, getting $1,000 a month for sitting on his ass is like a small boat—like a [[Wikipedia:Tugboat|tugboat]]—coming in for him.

; Has he ever had a [[job]] at all?
: He worked for [[Wendy's]] a few months in 2001, but he was fired for unknown reasons. He briefly sold knives for the multi-level marketing company [[Cutco]], which was his last true job (if you could call it that). During the [[Chris and business|Business Saga]] he was very active on Etsy, selling many custom-made Amiibos, Sonichu comics and so on, but he often sold them either at a loss or barely broke even, which resulted in the [[Financhu Crisis]]. He has also made plenty of [[commissions]] during the [[Everfree Northwest]] fundraiser and this has continued even after jail, with him making his custom medallions, selling literal rocks and making even more shitty commissions for the [[OfficialCWCMart]]. Some even speculate it's akin to being a sweatshop worker, but Chris enjoys doing it anyway, probably not even knowing it might be a real job.

; How much money does Chris make from his livestreams/Etsy shop?
: From watching his recent livestreams we can see that Chris typically receives between $600 - $700 in donations per stream. [[Praetor]]'s [[OfficialCWCmart|Etsy store]] sales have totaled well into the thousands of dollars, with individual [[Praetor Jail Art|jail art]] pieces selling for between $100 - $200 each, and some have even calculated their Etsy store to earn several thousands of bucks a month, though the exact revenue is unknown. It is generally speculated that Praetor takes a significant cut for themselves, though the exact details of their arrangement are not public knowledge. The only available info is from Chris, who claimed to get a measly $600 from a total of $4000 in sales during the [[Taser Call]].

==''Sonichu''==
; What's the deal with [[Sonic]], anyway?
: Chris has always liked family-friendly games in particular, and [[1993|many years ago,]] was one of 100 winners of a [[Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes|Sega contest]] which, through its grand prize of a $1000 {{w|KB Toys|Kay-Bee Toys}} shopping spree, allowed him to stock up on various ''Sonic'' titles. For some reason, the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series in general also appears to have certain qualities that attract autistic fans more than other game series.

; Where can I find the uncensored images from [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]]?
: For those who may be curious, they are located [[Sonichu 8#The uncensored scenes|here]].

; Will he ever draw more [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comics]]?
: Chris stopped drawing regular comics in [[February 2010]] with [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]; since then, he has released issues 11 to 13 and partially completed issues 14 to 17; however, these later issues often only bear a slight resemblance to the traditional comics and are more about whatever trolling issues have been happening. While in jail, he produced some one-off drawings; see [[Praetor Jail Art]], but has since continued work on the issue 25, now renamed to Sonichu 0 HD. Judging from the contents of the message Chris has sent out to the winners of his [[CWC Art Contest]], he has also attempted to outsource the art for the comics to his unlucky fans.

==Contact Chris==
; I want to e-mail Chris and pretend to be [[Megan]]/[[Jimmy Hill]]/[[Jesus]]/[[Michael Snyder]]. Can I have his e-mail?
: He has had many emails over the years, but his most commonly used ones are @cwcvillegoddess and ChrisChanSonichu@aol.com, but Chris does not read e-mails from people he doesn't already know<ref>[[Kacey Call 23]]: "I don't even bother to open their e-mails. So I just expand on the e- on the sender's address and then add them to my block list."</ref>, and it's possible that Praetor has a strict control over these, judging from some of the info he has put out since.

; What is his dox?
: Chris's dox can be found [[NO D*** WAY, IMPOSTOR!!!|here]].

==The CWCki itself==
; Does the CWCki exaggerate or spin anything?
: The editors here try their hardest to paint an accurate picture of Chris's life, but that is sometimes difficult due to the subject matter and the intentional omission of information from trolls who were [[Manipulation|manipulating]] Chris. Many were CWCki editors themselves. This is especially true for the [[Classic Chris]] era.

: For various good reasons, the CWCki largely covers the Classic sagas from Chris's perspective: information presented here was what Chris acknowledges to be true. Trolls are merely players on the stage that is Chris's life. It is probably best to understand the world of Chris as he understands it, much as it is best to understand a fictional world from the point of view of its characters, rather than the underlying reality of it. In other words, while Chris's reactions to events are real and the documentation of the reactions are indeed real, the situations and characters that provoke these reactions are often contrived, especially when covering events prior to Bob's death.

: For example:

:* [[Clyde Cash]] was the fictitious persona of a single anonymous troll, but the CWCki treats him as if he ''were'' a real person because he was to Chris. We also treat each of his personas as separate people because they were to Chris.

:* We keep a single article on [[Blanca]] and not the multiple male trolls who played her.

:* [[Emily]] and [[Kim]] were played by the same woman, but the CWCki treats them as separate people because they were to Chris.

:* Celebrity trolls are obviously trolls impersonating celebrities – did you really think [[Billy Mays]] was involved in trolling?

: For transparency's sake, the CWCki discloses such discrepancies from reality using Protip boxes, troll disclosures, and other notices.

: Coverage of Modern Christory takes a more matter-of-fact approach, thanks to the ease of [[dox]]ing Internet trolls. Modern CWCki editors are also gradually transitioning classic articles away from the dramatized writing of yesterday, so those who prefer clarity are in luck.

; What's the deal with ''Chris and''? What is a saga?
: The CWCki has '''a few series that tie it all together'''. You can think of them as the skeleton, bloodstream, and nervous system of the site.
:* The [[Chris and]] series. This series is purely topical – it discusses subjects as they relate to Chris, regardless of the time period. These are the things that make Chris Chris. Such topics range from Chris's relationship with [[Chris and art|art]] and [[Video games|gaming]], to his [[health|physical]] and [[Coping|mental health]].
:* The [[Saga]] page. It describes the major events in Chris's life from the womb to the modern world, but still takes a topical approach, looking at arcs and happenings in Chris's existence.
:* The [[CWChronology]]: purely chronological as its name suggests. Here, you can learn Chris's entire story from start to now, even including events from before his conception.
; What happened to the tagline ''Where no shit is too minor''?
: The tagline was '''retired''' on 20 December 2019, '''because there was a significant increase in people trying to influence Chris'''. Many of them fall into one of the ''[[Unholy Tetrad]]'':
:* [[White Knights]] – people who feel sorry for Chris, and try to help Chris, often without realising that getting Chris to halt his [[Chris and his Ego|self-destructive lifestyle]] is going to take a lot more than [[April 2017 Facebook posts#Chris explains why he won't get a job|a message]] on social media, or a [[Patreon]] donation.
:* [[A-Logging|A-logs]] – people who express disproportionate hatred for Chris, often wishing [[Destruction Of Chris's House|misery]] or physical harm on him.
:* [[Enablers]] – people who encourage Chris’s negative habits. Some White Knights find themselves having to do this to get in touch with Chris. Some weens have also found themselves doing this to purposefully screw him up.
:* [[Weens]] – people who try and fail to annoy Chris.

; Why does the CWCki continue to refer to Chris by his old name and pronouns?
:*The simplest reason for this is '''consistency'''. The CWCki has thousands of articles, and it would be an impossible, arduous task to change every "he" to "she" throughout Chris's entire existence, plus it's effectively [[Retcon|historical revisionism]].
:*Some articles require the context of Chris's maleness. References to Chris's orientation and past hatred of [[gay]] men won't be as obvious if we didn't address Chris by his assigned gender. Same thing with atypical/feminine behavior (such as his high voice and use of "Gal-Pals"), and behavior considered creepy for guys but not so much for women (such as getting [[Megan|touchy-feely]]).
:*Using "he" pre-transition and "she" post-transition may seem like a fair compromise, but the exact beginning of Chris's transition is hard to define. It can be confusing on articles that cover Chris both before and after his transition, such as the [[Chris and]] series. Dissenting users have also suggested using "(s)he" or "they", but Chris doesn't use they/them pronouns either, and "(s)he" looks clunky.
:*Community consensus. YouTube and Twitter commentators overwhelmingly call Chris male, as do some [[Sachumo|documentarians]]. While Chris did receive a legal name/gender change, there's considerable debate in the community as to whether he is a genuine trans woman. CWC communities, such as [[Kiwi Farms]], have an unfortunate tendency to "misgender" trans people in general. [[Null]] said he refers to Chris as "he" because he "carries male genetics" and insisted that he was a straight male most of his life. Most Christorians use "he" for Chris, and the CWCki reflects this trend.
:* Relating to the above, his previous first names ('''Chris'''topher, '''Chris'''tian) and his current one ('''Chris'''tine) can all easily be shortened to just "Chris", "Chris-Chan" or "CWC", which is what he's mostly referred to as anyway regardless of pronouns.

==Miscellaneous==

; What does he smell like?
: As of 19 October 2019, {{plain link|https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/post-5483529|cannabis}}. Historical answers include "rotten watermelons" (according to [[Emily]]), a variant of the [[Collosal Chan|homeless person]] stench (according to [[Robert Simmons V]]) or, as some field agents have reported, 'body odor masked with gallons of [[Axe]]'. While in jail, it seemed as if his hygiene had improved, with [[Jail Letter - 16 November 2021|daily showers]] the norm, but by the time of the May 2023, it has deteriorated, to the point that one person stated he smelled of "pure shit I had to inhale very shallowly". The point is, [[Chris and health#Hygiene|Chris smells awful]].

; What's the deal with Chris's [[Heterochromia|eyes]]?
: According to Chris, his eyes were originally blue but he got pink eye in his right eye during high school and medication for it turned it green. His eyes are only faintly different and definitely not to the degree that they're depicted in his [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|comic form]]. A cursory examination of [[:File:0043-YoungChristopher2.jpg|this image]] demonstrates that he has had heterochromia since at least elementary school. Additionally, it's fairly common for people with blue or green eyes to have one eye of a slightly different hue.

; What's the deal with the striped shirts?
: Many of Chris's shirts were bought by [[Barbara Chandler|his mother]] from the Salvation Army and Goodwill.<ref>[[Mailbag 42|Mailbag #42]]</ref> Following Chris's introduction to the world of Internet trolling, [[Chris and fashion|his wardrobe went through several iterations]] before eventually settling on its current [[tomgirl]] form, but he has since purchased at least two simillar T-shirts to capitalise on the nostalgia, dubbed The Classic 2.0 and The Classic (Replica) by the CWCki.

; What's the deal with the [[Shirt#Wrist warmer|yellow thing]] on the back of the [[Medallion of Fail|medallion]] chain?
: It's a Wilson wrist warmer he wears because the chain irritates his skin,<ref>E-mail from Chris posted in old PVCC thread #162</ref> probably due to [[Wikipedia:Sensory defensiveness|sensory defensiveness]], a common [[autism|autistic]] symptom.

; Does Chris drink or do [[drugs]]?
: Chris was firmly against [[Tobacky|smoking]] and drug abuse. For much of his life, he was equally strongly opposed to [[alcohol|drinking]] as well, but a video of him drinking a [[semen|salty]]-tasting [[Long Island Iced Tea]] turned up in [[2009]] and he has since softened his stance, saying he is a "social drinker".<ref>Mailbag_16#Alcoholism</ref> He has since been known to drink [[6 June 2010|Budweiser]], [[100 2281|Kahlúa]] and vodka, but seems to drink only occasionally, or when encouraged by [[troll]]s. He also smoked marijuana with the [[Teen Troon Squad]]. He was legally required to abstain from any drugs or alcohol after being placed on Virginia's [[Chris and the law|Therapeutic Docket]] in late 2018 and early 2019.

; What's this about Jimmy Hill?
: [[Jimmy Hill]] was a trolling effort run by the Something Awful Sycophant Squad (S.A.S.S.), but disintegrated in [[November 2008]] at the same time the board collapsed. It was supposed to make Chris believe someone was stealing his [[Sonichu]] character, since possible theft of Sonichu seems to be one of the few things that gets him worked up into a fury. Chris stopped believing in Jimmy Hill some time after when he noticed the page never updated. This is one of the very few recorded examples of Chris realizing that someone was a troll without them openly declaring it. Despite this, he still has a grudge against Jimmy Hill, leaving him in the final version of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] from [[December 2009]].

: Of note, Jimmy Hill passed the "rights" to Sonichu in Europe to [[Liquid Chris|the TRUE and HONEST Christian Weston Chandler]]. Hill died in 2015.

; What do [[Megan]]/[[Michael Snyder]]/Old Gal-Pals/et. cetera think of Chris now that he spooned his mother?
: It is not known for certain what people from earlier in Chris's life make of his incestuous affair with his mother. Most of these people have moved on from Chris since then. Please do not attempt to contact them.

; Where does Chris currently publish new content?
: As of [[October 2023]] Chris's current YouTube channel is [https://www.youtube.com/@CwcvilleGuardian CwcvilleGuardian]. He posts on Twitter/X as [https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu CPU_CWCSonichu]. He does have a few more social media accounts, such as one on Bluesky, but they are either abandoned or barely utilised.

; Is Barbara dead?
: No, and if you have to ask that question she almost definitely isn't. Fake obituaries for Barb are [[Weening|fairly common]]. The actual news of her eventual passing will likely come directly from Chris himself.

; Where can I learn more about this singular human anomaly?
: Well, right here at [[CWCki|this fine wiki]], of course. If you really want to induct yourself into the horrors of Chris, we would recommend starting with where it began for most of us: the [[Megan|Megan Saga and the release of the e-mail correspondence between the two]].

Kill De Jack

Babiso:

"'''Kill De Jack'''" (officially "'''12252009 - KillDeJack.mp4'''") is a video uploaded on 25 [[December 2009]] where [[Chris]] calls for the murder of [[Jack Thaddeus]] on the feast of the Prince of Peace (which Chris admits is [[Chris and religion|"not very Christmassey"]]) and complains about the [[gay]] banner ads on CWCipedia and the [[20 December 2009|recent Times Square billboard]] where he's supposedly seen in a gay bar.

=== Transcript ===

[[Captain's Log]], Stardate: Christmas Day, 2009.

I'm not going to beat around the bush even though the title of the video is not very [[Christmas]]sey, I have to use [[PSEye|the camera that gives me skips]] in the audio because my camera's battery is being—is being so...

[''Chris raises his [[Claw of Fail|claw]] and sighs.'']

Anyway... I'm very angry at that [[Jack Thaddeus]]! He thinks he can get away with dragging the [[CWCipedia]] down into a hellhole with the... ads he put up there. [''sigh''] It makes me sick. EEERRRRRGGHHHH! [''pause, sigh''] Anyways, he thinks he's all high and mighty with that dang voice of his. [''switches to a [[Speech impediment|bizarre high-pitched voice]], which is hard to understand''] "Hey! Look at me! I'm friggin' Jack Thaddeus! I got an alliance with [[Clyde Cash]] and I do [[12 October 2009|crazy]] animation, but [''Chris begins to mumble''] [[Clyde Cash|he]] doesn't care about it because he doesn't do nothin' kablah-de-blah-de-blah-de-blah-de-blahhhh!" Pfft. Anyway, [''sigh''] I'm so sick of him! Eerrrgh! I'm suck sick of those ads, and I'm not the only person who's sick of those goddamn ads.

Every last one of those... [[CWCipedia#CWCipedia Advertisements|homosexual ads]]... Argh! I'm so mad! Argh! You know, [''raises claw''] Jack Thaddeus is nothing but a snivelling coward! Goddamn coward. And he h—he does not have even one Euro to his name, only American dollars... like about two hundred. And you know, that doesn't even cover 2000 euros, which, unfortunately, the euro is stronger than the American dollar at the time. Sad really. Anyway, collection agencies are gonna be on his ass, I tell you what. Anyway, I want those [[Homos|goddamn homosexual]] ads down! Enrgh! And also, another note: I'm a little frustrated about that billboard too! That's a lie! Set up by that stupid [[Clyde Cash]]! He uses another Photoshop picture of his... and posts it on the billboard... [''Chris pauses, looks panicked''] and everyone on the Internet knows [[Chris and sex|I'm straight!]] And do not listen to anything that's on his [[YouTube]] account... whatsoever.

Anyway, I'm very— Anyway, I'm more angry at that Jack Thaddeus and those ads! Those ads are going DOWN!! They are going down, and I'm going to ban those homosexual ads! I only like pleasant—I only like pleasant ads because I have to cope with those... [[Stress|I have to c—do what I can to cope with those frickin' ads nowadays.]] [[Homos#Defenses against becoming homo|I have to cover a whole section of my computer with a piece of paper... so I don't have to look at those goddamn things!]] And you [[Chris and hypocrisy|have a life!]] And I'm work—and I'm working so much nowadays! I miss the days when it was just simply the [[Audiobooks]] from [[Vivian Gee]]. And by the way, she's working very hard to [[PS3|upgrade]] them to be of better quality not to mess up DVD burners and all that.

But anyway... errrgh... Jack Thaddeus, you're going down! [[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call|I'm not even going to talk to you anymore]], so [''middle finger''] you, Jack.

[[True and Loyal Fanbase|To everybody else]] [''flashes peace sign''], hope you have a Merry Christmas and wish you all a pleasant day. Peace out.

I humbly accepted their Gifts, [[Bisexual|gave them Great Big Kisses (on the CHEEK)]] and sent them on their way!|Chris<ref name=kiss>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/997957259182227458</ref>}}

[[File:CWC with Copitz 1.jpg|thumb|200px|Chris meets Copitz (right) and his friend in May 2018.]]

[[File:CWC Copitz May 2019.jpg|thumb|200px|Copitz gives Chris a ride home, April 2019.]]

'''Copitz''' is a YouTuber and a speedrunner on [[Twitch]] who lives in [[Charlottesville]]. Starting in [[May 2018]], he began visiting Chris and recording videos of him and his friends chatting with Chris while visiting local areas. Copitz would also play a role in developing ''[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'' docuseries, organizing a meet-up between TheGamerFromMars and Chris at [[14 Branchland Court|his home]].

==1st Visit and interview==
On 19 May 2018, Copitz and his friends went to Chris's house to give him fanart he had drawn. Chris was overjoyed to meet them and [[TooManyGames|kissed each of them on the cheek]],<ref name=kiss></ref> which he thought they found flattering<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/997967420575760384</ref> and agreed to do a video with them.

The video took place on 26 May 2018, with the videos released a few days later. A highlight is Chris saying that he regrets being more infamous than famous while hearing about the recent documentary made about him. He also says that he still goes to Anytime Fitness and has a membership, but "had to relocate" to one that wasn't in Ruckersville. He mentions that some unknown friends took him to see the movie ''Pokémon: I Choose You''.

<pre>A Chat With Christine Chandler

Filmed Saturday, 5/26/2018</pre>

<pre>We accidentally lost the first bit of this footage, so that is why there is no intro here.</pre>

<pre>The only important thing that was lost was Christine indulging in some "JULAY" memes, believe it or not.</pre>

<pre>That being said, enjoy the video!</pre>

=== (0:11-0:22) Chris discusses the weather ===

'''Chris''': Ahh...[[Obesity|I-I tend to perspire easily]].

[''Chris fans his face and takes off his glasses'']

'''Copitz''': Yeah...It is pretty hot today. Maybe eighty degrees?

'''Chris''': Yeah. It's-[''wipes face''] mid-eighties right now.

'''Copitz''': Mid-eighties?

'''Carson''': This is really good.

'''Lee''': It's nice out.

'''Copitz''': It is nice out, yeah.

[''jump cut'']

=== (0:23-1:17) Chris discusses the Kiwi Farms and BraveryJerk ===

'''Copitz''': Y- you probably know about the, the [[Kiwi Farms]], right?

'''Chris''': Oh, yes.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, yeah.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': People probably, uh-[''jump cut''] replied to you on [[Twitter]] when you posted the picture of us, then I posted it on Kiwi Farms.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': I didn't even know what the Kiwi Farms was, I w- I just thought like [''jump cut''] It was a place to maybe brag about my experience, you know, [Chris laughs] 'cause it was the first thing I thought of when I got home, but then I realized... that wasn't such a good idea and ['''Chris''': Mmm.] th- most of the people on the forums were telling me it wasn't a good idea either.

'''Chris''': Eeh.

'''Copitz''': Um, but, you know-

'''Chris''' (''interrupting''): I forgive you this time.

'''Copitz''': Haha, thank you. [''jump cut''] A lot of them were-were afraid that I was like a [[ween]] and I was gonna be like, you remember [[BraveryJerk]]?

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': Ah, not sure.

'''Copitz''': He was the, uh, the African-American fellow who interviewed you at the, uh, the, uh-

'''Chris''' (''interrupting''): Oh... oh, yeah, yeah. I did n- I did not know his offline name.

'''Copitz''': Okay- no, that is his online name, is BraveryJerk.

'''Chris''': Online, offline, [''raspberry-like sound''], what did I say. I-[''Chris uses an extremely high-pitched and loud sing-song voice'']I kept sayin' words!!

'''Copitz''': How did you feel about the videos that he made?

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': Uh, it is what it is, I just m'let it go, I'm cool.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, yeah.

=== (1:19-2:28) Chris discusses Toys "R" Us and restaurants ===

[''jump cut, Chris is now leaning forwards, reaching for a cup of tea'']

'''Chris''': Which tea is this again?

'''Carson''': It's called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tieguanyin iron oolong]. It kinda tastes like, sweet, even without sugar.

[''Chris laughs'']

[''jump cut, the tea is now being poured into Chris' cup'']

'''Chris''': That's good.

'''Carson''': Oop, didn't get your hand, did I?

'''Chris''': Nah, you're cool. [''jump cut''] Ha, could've been hotter.

[''Copitz laughs'']

'''Chris''': Yeah, I like spicy things.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, I like spicy th-

'''Carson''': Hey, what's your favorite food, by the way?

'''Chris''': Mmm. I like, uh, Mac and Cheese for longer time.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': When you go- go out to eat at uh, at, at near [[Ruckersville]], where do you normally go, do you come down to [[Charlottesville]], or...

'''Chris''': Uh, yeah, kinda here 'n 'ere, I mean, [''jump cut''] I just feel like it's cheap to just name [[McDonald's]] all the time, or KFC, or Taco Bell, ['''Copitz''': Yeah, yeah] but I tell you what-['''Copitz''': Those are cheap, though] if I like it good, I might get something good from the Wood Grill Buffet.

'''Copitz''': Oh, yeah, uh- that's down near where [[Toys "R" Us]] is, right?

'''Chris''': Yeah. [sigh] Stop the closing of the Toys "R" Us!

[''Copitz and friends mock-scream in dismay'']

'''Copitz''': No! Not the Toys "R" Us!

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': You probably get a lot of your, your [[MLP]] stuff from [jump cut] Toys "R" Us, don't you?

'''Chris''': Yeah, but's it's like, a lot of it's available online now, everyone's buying online ['''Copitz''': [''sucks teeth''] Yeah.] Maybe KB will make a return, just like I heard on, uh, kind of a, news thing I s- read about, few weeks ago.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': Yeah, it might- you know, that would actually be a good idea because it could pick up the business that Toys "R" Us, um, ['''Chris''': Lost.] would have lost, yeah.

[''jump cut'']

=== (2:28-3:22) Copitz tells stories about Monster Energy and his friend Eric ===

'''Chris'''(''to one of the friends''): It was pretty good, by the way.

'''Carson''': I know, I like it a lot.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': I remember, I was here one time, and, and I, and I had a, I had a big, um, can of Monster Energy, and I tried combining it with the tea, but it just tasted like gross, warm Monster.

[''They all laugh'']

'''Chris''': They make a tea for Monster, Monster Tea.

'''Carson''': Oh, Rehab, I think it's called.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': So you remember Eric [''Shows a picture of Eric on the screen''], my friend that, uh, that came to ['''Chris''': Uh, yes.] your house, right? ['''Chris''': Yes.] He-

[''jump cut'']

[''The camera lurches awkwardly towards one of Copitz's friends'']

'''Copitz''': When he was taking the behind the wheel driving lessons, he went up to- to the [[Wal-Mart]] [''phone buzzes''] on 29 North. [''Camera tilts around''] Not the one in Ruckersville, but the one- ['''Chris''': Alright.] the one near Charlottesville.

[''jump cut'']

[''Copitz drinks some tea'']

'''Copitz''': Ooh, that is good. I like that.

[''jump cut'']

'''Carson''': Eric was actually the one who showed me the [''unintelligible'']

'''Copitz''': Oh, really. Shoutouts to Eric. [''closeup of Eric's face'']

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': So when he was driving- [''jump cut''] through the parking lot with his driver's instruction teacher and a couple of other students- [''jump cut''] he actually saw you. Uh, a while ago, he saw you, and he recognized you. So that- so that was, uh, exciting for me, and we were all jealous. [''Chris and Copitz laugh''] They got to see you.

[''jump cut'']

=== (3:23-3:43) Chris discusses people coming to his house ===

'''Copitz''': What were you thinking when we came to your house? How often does that happen?

'''Chris''': Uhh... [''jump cut''] Feel like I wanna say on average... maybe.. uh... once every few months?

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': Is it normally [[fans]], or normally [[trolls]]?

'''Chris''': Um... I'm not quite certain.

'''Copitz''': Not- not sure? Maybe just people trying to- people that live in the area and just wanna meet an- an icon?

'''Chris''': Yeah, kinda. [''laughs'']

[''jump cut'']

=== (3:44-5:54) Chris discusses Animal Crossing, Let's Play, and the GenoSamuel2 documentary ===

'''Chris''': Hey, try the Hi-C! It's got mint in it, and it's really good.

'''Friend 3''': [''unintelligible'']

'''Friend 4''': There are many, huh?

'''Copitz''': Yeah, there are a lot of 'em.

'''Chris''': I like mint.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': Um-

'''Chris''': Minty Squirrel from [[Animal Crossing]].

'''Copitz''': Minty Squ- Yeah, you know, you did a lot of Animal Crossing stuff back in the day, didn't you?

'''Chris''': Yeah.

'''Copitz''': You made [[Animal Crossing Documentary|that Animal Crossing video]] for [[Borb|your parents]]? I thought that was really nice.

'''Chris''': Yeah.

'''Copitz''': Yeah.

'''Chris''': And then I just did touring of what I had on my GameCube.

'''Copitz''': Ah, right. Yeah. I- you kn- I remember people saying- I thought this was really cool- They said that you pioneered the Let's Play experience.

'''Chris''': I did?

'''Copitz''': Yeah, 'cause you did it- you, you like, you recorded yourself, um, you're y'know, commentating over gameplay before basically anybody else did on the Internet.

[''Copitz plays 5:02-5:10 from Chris' Animal Crossing Documentary'']

<blockquote>'''2003 Chris''': -moving on with the tour of my house. As you can see I've got- I'm collecting the NES games. I've got most of them down here, and I've got a couple upstairs.</blockquote>

[''Video clip ends'']

'''Copitz''': So some people consider you the pioneer Let's Play.

'''Chris''': Huh.

'''Copitz''': That's pretty cool, isn't it?

'''Lee''': That is pretty cool.

'''Chris''': Okay, well that's news to me.

[''Copitz and friends laugh'']

'''Copitz''': Yeah, I saw that ag- on the, um, do you know, the uh [[Chris_in_the_media#Chris_Chan:_A_Comprehensive_History|GenoSamuel2 documentary]]?

'''Chris''': Mmm.

'''Copitz''': Um, he's making this ''crazy'' long, comprehensive documentary, and I'd say it's very objective, he's not making fun of you in any way.

'''Chris''': Mm.

[''jump cut'']

[''Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History - Part 10 is shown on the screen'']

'''Copitz''': He's on Part 10, and they're each 40 minutes, and he's only on like 2008, [''Picture disappears from the screen''] so it's like, it's like he's getting everything in there.

'''Chris''': Ah, as much as he can, right?

'''Copitz''': Yeah, yeah. H- how do you feel about it when people make, like, documentaries and stuff about you but they're not making fun of you?

'''Chris''': Um, I feel abou- I kinda feel like, uh...

'''Copitz''': You wish your past wasn't documented as much?

'''Chris''': Uh, no, I don't wanna say that.

'''Copitz''': Mm-hm.

'''Chris''': Um, I just kinda wish I wasn't as- more famous than infamous ['''Copitz''': Yeah, yeah, that's true.] for more of my good qua- [[Kindness|more of my good traits]], [[Ego|but I think they're all well noted]], [[Chris and English|among which]]. I have faith in the goodness of people. And that's , uh, that's discounting and discrediting the obvious bad ones.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, yeah.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': Y- you've met some good people out there. I mean, we're here, right? You know. ['''Chris''': Yeah.] Yeah, we're- we're trying [''camera suddenly zooms in on Chris's torso''] to be friendly. [''all laugh'']

[''jump cut'']

'''Lee''': You want a, uh, cameraman?

'''Copitz''': Yeah, you think you could help us- help me out here? Thanks, Lee.

=== (5:55-6:01) Interlude ===

[''The same techno music plays, text is shown on the screen'']

<pre>Starting here, there is a lot of background noise that I did not realize was being picked up.</pre>

<pre>I apologize for this error. That being said, please carry on and enjoy the rest.</pre>

=== (6:02-6:45) Chris discusses his favorite games ===

[''The camera is now in a different position, revealing more of the room. Lee is gone from the frame, and is now the cameraman.'']

'''Copitz''': All right, we're good, we've got Lee as our cameraman now, so that's good.

[''Chris laughs'']

[''jump cut, camera is zoomed in more'']

'''Copitz''': Um, so Chrischine[sic] was just saying off-camera that her favorite, uh, [[Sonic]] game was Sonic CD.

'''Chris''': Yeah.

'''Copitz''': Um, would that make that your favorite game of all time?

'''Chris''': Uh...

'''Copitz''': Or you like Animal Crossing or [[LittleBiGPlanet]] more?

'''Chris''': I like, I like [[List of Chris's games|all the games I've played]]-

[''Copitz starts getting up from his seat and reaches for the camera. As he touches it, there is a jump cut.'']

[''Copitz withdraws his hand from the camera'']

'''Chris''': -[[PlayStation_3#Trophies|definitely earned, like up to a hundred percent of the trophies.]]

[''someone laughs'']

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': I dunno about favorite game of all time, though. Mmm...[''wipes face'']...Although, big props to everything LittleBiGPlanet, especially everything on the [[PS3]], 'cause I'm able to make my [[LittleBiGPlanet#On_costumes|Sonichu costumes]] and play the game [''Friend laughs''] as [[Sonichu]] in a way.

'''Copitz''': [''Looks at camera''] You- you still uh, kind of a big gamer? You play games a lot?

'''Chris''': Yeah. Here and there, just when I- I do as I feel.

[[File:Copitz's Face Swap Picture.jpg|thumb|400 px|The picture in question.]]

=== (6:46-6:56) Copitz shows Chris a picture ===

'''Copitz''': I got this picture right here where somebody swapped our mouths and made Eric's head really big.

[''The picture shows up on the screen'']

[''Chris and Copitz laugh'']

'''Copitz''': I'll put that up on screen.

'''Lee''': Oh yeah, I saw those, too.

'''Copitz''': You think that's funny?

'''Chris''': Silly, yeah.

[''jump cut'']

=== (6:57-7:16) Chris talks about his typical day ===

'''Copitz''': What is a typical, uh, 'CWC' day like?

'''Chris''': Um... Well,I'm gettin' into something a bit more exercising. Going to [[Chris_and_health#Anytime_Fitness|Anytime Fitness]], I am a member there.''

'''Copitz''': The one, uh, in Ruckersville?

'''Chris''': Ehhhm... Not so much anymore, had to relocate, I'm not sayin' where.

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': The one I'm going to, does- it's much farther... Yeah.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': So you worked at the [[Wendy's]] in Ruckersville for a while, didn't you?

'''Chris''':[''nervously''] Yeah.

'''Copitz''': Wh- what was your experience like there?

'''Chris''': Ehhh... Kinda hit-or-miss, ['''Copitz''': Oof.] and I was still young... um... I felt like it [''jump cut''] just didn't quite suit me as well anyhow.

'''Copitz''': Mm-hm.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': Did you work anywhere else?

'''Chris''': [[Monthly tugboat|Uh... uh... No, not these days.]] Uh, but I did work one summer as a... representative of... [[Cutco Cutlery]]? But I- I treated it only as a summer job, so...

'''Copitz''': Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': Are you 36 now?

'''Chris''': Uhf... Yes.

'''Copitz''': 36.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': We can still make the next [''unintelligible''].

'''Carson''': Yeah.

'''Chris''': It's a generation gap that can be a brrrrrridge. Like in a blidge[sic] dictionary, I'm making a bridge.

[''Unsure of what Chris is actually doing here. I think he's trying to [[Chris and Spanish|roll his 'R's]], but if he is, he's doing it so badly that I can't tell.'']

'''Copitz''': Bridge.

[''Chris moves his hand in a horizontal motion, supposedly imitating a bridge'']

[''Copitz and Chris fist bump, creating an explosion.'']

[''Copitz and Chris laugh'']

'''Chris''': There's a good bridge.

[''jump cut'']

=== (8:10-9:36) Chris talks about his name change and his favorite movies===

'''Copitz''': What was it, the um, the uh, the bear, at the, at the Midlothian mall [[Christopher's name change|that gave you that name]]?

SKIP TO 9:12 TO AVOID
</pre>

'''Chris''': Pikachu... talked to Ash, literally.

'''Copitz''':[''muffled by the tea he's drinking''] Mmm?

'''Chris''': An' it's like, "Pikachu!"- ['''Copitz''': The whole movie?]- No, just one part - but it's like [''Chris does an admittedly good impression of Ash from the Pokémon anime''] "Pikachu! [[How_the_Pokémon_Came_into_Our_PokéBalls|Why don't you get in your Pokéball?]]" an' he's like, [''very high-pitched voice'']"It's because..." ['''Copitz''':[''incredulously, looking at the camera''] What?] "...It's because, I want to be with you."

'''Copitz''': That happened in the movie?

'''Chris''': [''still using the high-pitched voice''] Yeah.

[''Copitz plays the clip from the movie'']

'''Chris''': The whole movie was quite good, we enjoyed it.

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': [''unintelligible mumbling, continuing in high-pitched voice''] left. [''unintelligible''] to refill? Oh, no, we're still good. Ha.

'''Copitz''': We're good, we're good.

'''Chris''':[''normal voice''] It's like, almost half full, and I like being... optimistic.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': You're a half-full kinda...

'''Chris''': -person. Yeah. [''strange, deep voice that is probably supposed to be an Optimus Prime impression''] I'm an optimist. [[Transformers|My name is Optimus.]]

'''Copitz''': Optimus Prime

'''Chris''': Opti''mist'' Prime.

'''Copitz''': Optimist Prime.

[''both laugh'']

[''jump cut'']

=== (9:36-10:35) Chris rambles about bells and bananas===

'''Copitz''': I wanted to ask you how you feel about- [''jump cut''] - Richard Simmons.

[''Copitz most likely meant [[Robert Simmons]].'']

'''Chris''': Oh... yeah.

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': Hearing his name definitely rings the bell.

'''Copitz''': [''sucks teeth''] Yeah.

'''Chris''': Rings the bell.

[''Chris suddenly moves his head to his left shoulder, imitating a bell.'']

'''Chris''':[''deep voice''] Glung.

'''Copitz''': Is that the [[Trolls|troll]] bell?

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': What's that called, a gong, yeah.

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': Yeah, no, I was actually thinking if a really big bell-

[''They all start talking at the same time'']

'''Carson''': Oh, I got it.

'''Copitz''': Oh, yeah, like a really big, like a really big, yep, like...

'''Chris''': -like in a high tower.

'''Chris''': Yeah, although, I think this one would probably have a crack in it . Not like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Bell the Liberty Bell,] exactly, just like, you know, just a f- kind of a crack, because, I dunno, we're not perfect, we're all a little cracked somewhere.

'''Copitz''': Yeah. [''jump cut''] Carson on his face.

[''The camera zooms in on Carson, showing in more detail the bandages on his face.'']

'''Carson''': Yeah, ha ha, [''jump cut''] my face is destroyed.

[''The camera zooms in on Chris's hands as he pours himself tea.'']

'''Chris''': W- we're all- [''drops spoon''] Whoops!

[''The camera zooms back out'']

'''Chris''': Ha, there's a little fumble, but it wasn't an epic fail.

'''Copitz''': Yeah. No, not an epic fail. Could've been an epic fail.

'''Chris''': Yeah.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': What's your opinion on Minions? How do you like Lee's Minion shirt he's wearing?

[''A picture of Lee with a Minion shirt is shown on the screen.'']

'''Lee''': Probably, uh-

[''Chris suddenly starts talking an an obnoxiously loud, nasal, and high-pitched voice. The camera starts zooming in on his face, and the audio is edited to be echoey, making Chris's outburst even more terrifying than it already was. It's hard to tell what's Copitz's editing, and what's just Chris.'']

'''Chris''': [[Random-access humor|{{RageQuote|AH, MINION, DEY SO FUNNY, GNA GNA GNA, BANANA. BANANA BANANA BANANA. BANANA! MINANABANANA! THBBPTHBPT!}}]]

[''The camera mercifully zooms back out, the audio returning to normal.'']

'''Chris''': Uh, I not- I've seen the first Despicable Me movie.

'''Copitz''': Yup.

[''jump cut'']

=== (10:36-12:11) Chris talks politics and Danger Dolan ===

'''Copitz''': Th- this is kinda personal, you don't have to answer this, but, wh- what are maybe your political opinions? How do you feel about the President?

'''Chris''': [''stress sigh''] I'm not, [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid!!!|I'm not totally into politics, I'm kind of a neut- I'm kind of neutral]], but I definitely wish that, uh, Obama could stay in office,

['''Copitz''': Yeah.] but if it had to be what it had to be(?) then you know I voted for Hillary.

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': -yeah, but instead we got [[Pmurt|Dona-[''long gargling noise'']-rump.]]

[''Copitz laughs'']

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': An' I learned recently to roll my 'R's, an' it was by accident.

[''Copitz laughs'']

'''Chris''': My tongue was in the right place, and I went with it.

[''The gargling noise is apparently supposed to be rolling his 'r's, but it's not remotely like what it should be. It sounds more like an 'L' sound than an 'R' sound, and his tongue is definitely not "in the right place".'']

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': And, you know, Danger [[Planet Dolan|Dolan]] does it, ud, [''odd voice''] I am Danger Dolan, und today I'll be a [''gargling noise''] rater(?), and I will tell you the ['''rolled 'r's"''] treek(?). And why does he say it like 'trees', by the way, it's truth, not trees.

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': I was wondering, 'cause I saw- you know how, like, when somebody likes a Tweet, it shows up on your timeline sometimes, on [[Twitter]]?

'''Chris''': Oh, yes.

'''Copitz''': And I saw you- you liked one of Donald Trump's tweets.

'''Chris''': [''mumbling''] Wait, you talkin' about, uh, earlier today, oh, yeah, it was like one having to do with the, er, the American people bein' held... over dere... in wherever it was.

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': They're being released, they're coming back to America, they reunite with their... family. Of the White House.

'''Copitz''': So you're just happy to hear it.

'''Chris''': Yeah. I like good news. And [[My_Little_Pony#Chris_and_ponies|Tara Strong]] shared dat link, by the way.

'''Copitz''': Okay.

'''Chris''': Tara an' I, we hate Trump, but we do like the good news, and good things in life.

'''Copitz''': The good news. Well, you know, you gotta see the good in people sometimes, even if they're not so good.

'''Chris''': [''earsplittingly loud and high pitched voice''] YEAH, EVEN TIMMY TURNER IS SO POSITIVE ALL THE TIME!

'''Copitz''': That's, that's-

'''Chris''': [''continuing the voice''] YEEEEAH, LOOK AT MY FAIRY GODPARENTS!

'''Copitz''': That's Tara Strong.

'''Chris''': [''odd laugh''] [''normal voice''] She's really awesome.

[''jump cut'']

=== (12:12-?) Chris talks about his Cutie Mark ===

'''Copitz''': Lee, can you get in front of this right here? What is this, uh, [''unintelligible''] character?

[''camera zooms up to something Chris is holding'']

'''Chris''': That's my cu- That's my Cutie Mark.

'''Copitz''': Oh, okay, from, uh, My Little Pony.

'''Chris''': Yeah, but it's my- it's my special Cutie Mark, I took multiple quizzes to find out what I be. I ended up being, you know, to make my OC pony [[Night Star]]. That's her Cutie Mark, an' she and I share da Cutie Mark.

'''Copitz''': Oh, cool, okay.

'''Chris''': Yeah, and of course, if I- if I ever went to Equestria though, I wouldn't beco- I would not become, a unicorn, I'd become an [[ego|alicorn]], because I'm a bit higher up, just- just because of my rule in Cwcville and everything, and that w- that was kind of a di- thing, because y'know, it was like- y'know, I cou- I only drew [[Nightstar]] because I was like: "I could draw myself whatev- whichever way I wanted, so, I was like EH? I'll spoil myself, and I, had felt like I had wings... on my shoulders... for quite a long time, even longer than tha- for quite a number of years.

'''Copitz''': [''Sings "I Believe I Can Fly by R Kelly."'']

'''Chris''': Just- just kind of an imagery of wings on my back.

'''Copitz''': [''Looks straight at the camera''] We got a modern-day {{w|R. Kelly}} right here.

'''Chris''': Modern day R Kelly?

'''Copitz''': Woah, woah, woah- wait, wait- The good parts of R Kelly. [''Laughs'']

'''Chris''': [''Laughs and starts rapping''] I don't know about that, but you could do a rap, and we can do this and that- gettin' go blip blap blip blap.

'''Copitz''': There you go. R Kelly.

[''Camera zooms in on Chris's face to finish the rap'']

'''Chris''': [''Continues rapping''] I'm not a rapper, but I'm here to say, that y'all can do it, as you'd like your way.

'''Copitz''': Do you think maybe you- you'll get into voice acting, sometime?

'''Chris''': Uh, possibly, if they- we get an anime show for Sonichu I'll voice myself and my son.

'''Copitz''': Oh! That would be so cool!

'''Chris''': And, y'know I would definitely want to make a deal with Funko for making some POP vinyl figures, of, myself and my family.

[''General agreement noises'']

'''Copitz''': You've been let down by a lot of fake, uh...

'''Chris''': People have been faking the, actual people, like [[Reggie_Fils-Aimé|Regis Fil Aime]] for one, yeah.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, yeah, did you actually f- uh, fly out to Washington?

'''Chris''': Nyooo.

'''Copitz''': No, you didn't?

'''Chris''': No, we didn't fall for that.

'''Copitz''': It was funny, you drove out to...

'''Chris''': Cleveland.

'''Copitz''': To Cleveland. And then it was that, old worn down house?

'''Chris''': Yeah.

'''Copitz''': Not what you expected... not- not Julie, no.

'''Chris''': Just a little old lady!~

'''Carson''': Now you were talking about, voice acting Sonichu, what would Sonichu sound like?

'''Copitz''': Oooh, that's a good question.

'''Chris''': Uh, something close to the original, like, y'know, back in the adventures Saturday morning phase, somin- sounding like that, Um, ha! Robotnic totally got me with this, but nah, I ain't gonna be falled by that. Uh, but they're scratchin' rounders, I'm gonna go trip on them, hubre I am referring to the episode, rounder the genius. Which was the first episode of, Revenge of the Sonic the Hedgehog I had ever seen. It was the first time I'd heard Sonic's voice.

'''Lee''': It's amazing that you can remember that.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, yeah.

{{Transcription}}

'''Copitz''': Do you have any, umm, any real life friends you ever, umm, hang out with?

'''Chris''': Uhh, yeah, I have some real life friends that I do hang out with from time to time, yes.

'''Copitz''': Near [[Charlottesville,_VA|Charlottesville]]?

'''Chris''': Uhh, yes.

'''Copitz''': Okay, that's good. Did you meet them online, or did you -

'''Chris''': Uh, mostly in person.

'''Copitz''': Do they know about you from, from your your, uh, like, your fame on the internet?

'''Chris''': Umm, like when we first met, most-most- majority did not know about me from the internet, and then they kind- they got to know me and they're like "Ehh, well we know Christine, we know Christian or Christine better than that."

'''Copitz''': How's uhh, [[Barbara|Mrs. Barbara Chandler]] been doing?

'''Chris''': Ehh, she's doing fair in general. She's getting up more. She's -

'''Copitz''': In her 70s now?

'''Chris''': Now you're gonna make me think of her age now.

[''Copitz laughs'']

'''Chris''': Ehh, she's like 76, she'll be 77 later.

'''Copitz''': Okay, yeah. We- we saw her, she- she was a little concerned what we were doing at- at your door I remember.

'''Chris''': Yeah, I calmed her down. I told her, like ya know "they're both fans, and it was a nice little visit."

'''Copitz''': I was hoping you'd answer because I was afraid if she answered she might- she might slam the door on us.

'''Chris''': Yeah, [''in a Barb impression''] ??. We're not home! We're (sic) not wanted! We're not interested! Go away!"

[''All laugh'']

'''Copitz''': Yeah.

[''Chris makes angry elderly noises'']

'''Chris''': No, that's not the typical old- elderly lady I'm quite sure. I mean I've met a lot of very nice elderly women, I respect my seniors and elders.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, yup.

Cameraman: That's good.

'''Chris''': 'Specially since [[Bob_Chandler|my father]] was a senior citizen literally my entire life from birth.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, was- how old was he when you were born?

'''Chris''': If you wanna go beyond that, he was... 52 years old on conception.

'''Copitz''': 52 years old on conception. [''Chris laughs''] So maybe 53 when you were born or so?

'''Chris''': Yeah, that's about right.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': Do you think if you had, uh, gone to the Albermarle County Public School, maybe because of kind of like the more industrialized area than Greene County maybe you would've had a better experience in [[Greene County Primary School|Elementary School]] than you did with [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School|Greene]]?

'''Chris''': [''in Pinkie Pie impression''] I have no idea!
[''Copitz laughs'']

'''Chris''': And I'm imitating Pinkie Pie saying that.

'''Copitz''': And at least you're able to go to Richmond and, and I think- you think that going to [[Manchester_High_School|Manchester High]] impacted your- your life for the better?

'''Chris''': Yes, I do believe so.

'''Copitz''': Mhmm, you met some friends at [[PVCC]] too, didn't you?

'''Chris''': Uhh, I didn't make as many friends at PVCC.

'''Copitz''': No?

'''Chris''': Ehhh, I met [[Mary_Lee_Walsh|people]], I tried, but it's like, ummm, [[Attraction_Sign|we couldn't really connect]].

'''Copitz''': Ahh, yeah.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Chris''': I've, uh, started watching the new Rocky and Bullwinkle yesterday on Amazon Prime.

'''Copitz''': How do you feel about that?

'''Chris''': Oh, I kinda liked it, it was classic silly, silly, silly. And [[Chris and socialization#MLP voice actresses|Tara Strong]] voicing Rocky J. Squirrel. I would definitely like to meet her one day if possible, 'cus, ya know, [''in ?? impression''] She does a very good ?? [''in a Twilight Sparkle impression''] and a Princess Twilight Sparkle.

'''Copitz''': Maybe- maybe if she, uh, she ever needs somebody to take over for her, you could do it. [''Copitz laughs'']

BACK: Yeah!

'''Chris''': I don't know, I'm not exactly [''in Bugs Bunny impression''] be the guy who did Bugs Bunny or [''in Daffy Duck impression''] Daffy Duck Sufferin' succotash!

'''Copitz''': [''laughing''] Not exactly, no.

[''Camera zooms in Chris makes [[Donald_Duck_impersonation|quacking noises]]'']

Cameraman: I can't do characters as well ['''Copitz''': Yeah!] as well as you can.

'''Chris''': Ehh, I got kinda like a voice copy thing [''Copitz laughs''] and I tend to- it's like, ya know, when I'm talking with somebody else, just one other person, for a while I tend to sound like them after a time.

'''Copitz''': Oh really?

'''Chris''': Yeah, but if it's like- when I'm in a group then it's kinda mixed so I end up with more natural voice more often in the conversation. [''in a Copitz impression''] I'm talking with you right now Christian and I can kinda get your voice down after you and I- you and me in this pow-wow. I mean, whaddya think? We sound a lil cool?

'''Copitz''': Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we sound pretty similar haha.

'''Chris''': Yeeeah, we just ?? dudes.

'''Copitz''': Haha, pretty good.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Chris''': Found a recent top ten, they uh, they top ten voi- top ten characters who were voice- multiple characters by voice- by the same actress. They put Tara at number four, but she was like, uh... the female- the only female in the top four, so she's pretty much the queen of voice acting.

'''Copitz''': Oh, yeah.

'''Chris''': While the ki- while the se- well- I can't remember his name -

'''Copitz''': Wow, the reqs were met, huh? ??

'''Chris''': the king of voice acting is the guy who did Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck and all of them.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, I can't remember his name ['''Chris''': Me neither], but he died a while ago, didn't he?

'''Chris''': But number two was Frank Welker. [''In Megatron voice''] "Do as I command! I am the Megatron!"

[''jumpcut'']

'''Lee''': Do you have any favorite YouTubers that you'd like to shout out?

'''Chris''': Ehh

'''Copitz''': Shout out Copitz!

'''Chris''': Ha, Copitz, I'll give him that. I'd definitely want to give a shoutout to Emgo, Dr. Wolf, and uh, lemme think, Scribbler, I like- I like the way she reads the [[MLP]] comics. [''Copitz laughs''] Ehhh, I wan- I like watching WatchMojo.

'''Copitz''': Oh yeah, yeah, the top tens?

'''Chris''': Yeah.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': I noticed, when you're livestreaming, you have like such good quality, ummm, but cus you live in more of a neighborhood, but my internet's so bad, like, ['''Chris''': Ehhh, you could- ] if you saw the quality on my stream [laughs]

[''Chris refills his drink'']

'''Chris''': Ehhh, internet streaming quality, brought to you by Comcast XFinity!

'''Copitz''': Yeah, you get Comcast, I only get CenturyLink.

Cameraman: Yeah, I only get CenturyLink too.

'''Chris''': Shall I top you off?

'''Copitz''': Oh sure, thank you.

[''camera zooms into Chris pouring drink into Copitz's cup'']

Cameraman: I can't stream at all on CenturyLink. ['''Lee''': Really?] Yeah.

'''Copitz''': Yeah well, it depends where you are I guess, but... And Lee lives just outside the city, just south of, uh, Charlottesville, and still CenturyLink doesn't give him anything good.

'''Chris''': Oh dear.

Cameraman: We're installing Ting, which is... yeah.

'''Copitz''': You're getting Ting?

Cameraman: Hopefully soon. You have to get a certain amount of people.

'''Copitz''': It said a couple years ago they took Ting a little bit to your neighborhood, but not all.

Cameraman: Yeah, but they didn't like give it to anyone yet.

'''Lee''': Fiber-optic?

Cameraman: Yeah.

'''Copitz''': Fiber-optic, fiber-optic is great, I'd love to have that.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': Okay. Oh, so [[Sonic_the_Hedgehog_Watch_%26_Win_Sweepstakes||KB Toy store]] was in the [[Charlottesville_Fashion_Square|Fashion Square Mall]]!

'''Chris''': Yeah, it was.

'''Copitz''': Oh, okay. Yeah, you know my- my favorite, uh, my favorite thing from the Fashion Square Mall that they- they closed, it seems like they closed everything there, nobody even really goes there anymore ['''Chris''': yeee] seems like, was the uhh- the big candy store. I loved the candy store. And then the arcade, but that was before my time.

'''Chris''': Yeah, I vaguely remember an arcade at Fashion Square.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, that was more your time than my time. My parents went there a lot.

'''Chris''': Oh yeah, I remember. It was, uh, near where Spencer's is now, over there.

'''Copitz''': Ah ha.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Chris''': And which college are you going to?

'''Copitz''': I'm hoping- umm, I'm graduating next year. I'm- I'm a junior in high school. So I'm, I'm hoping to go to VCU in Richmond. ['''Chris''': Okay.] That would be cool.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Chris''': My dad recommended PVCC so that's where I went. ['''Copitz''': Yup, yeah?] He had this planned all the way out for me get me following his footsteps, but it just wasn't meant to be.

'''Copitz''': Didn't work out, did it?

'''Chris''': Yeah, sorry, sir. Sorry I lived for bigger and better things. [''Chris laughs'']

'''Copitz''': Bob did some good things, didn't he?

'''Chris''': Oh yes, he designed the controls for many a machine including steel mills, saw mills, plastic mill- I think one of them was a crane. I found, uh, in old filing cabinets, 06:34 (?) was like patents that he had made and filed and all that. So, completed patents right there. You can't find his records at GE cus he hadn't worked there for WAY more than ten years.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, you probably feel bad having to sell some of his old stuff, don't you? But...

'''Chris''': Yeah, ya know, it was pretty much that time was the [[Stamps|postage stamps]].

'''Copitz''': You know what? I'm- I wanted to mention to you, somebody I saw- I don't know if you saw this in your replies on Twitter, but somebody had I think a great idea. I don't know if you'd want to do this, but, if you sold like one [[Lego|LEGO]] for a dollar, umm, each, then people could just pay a dollar and they could have a LEGO that was owned by you! And, it goes in an envelope so you don't have to pay any extra shipping.

'''Chris''': [''Clearly uninterested''] [[Chris_and_work|Hmm, well... that's an... option...]]

07:22 '''Copitz''': ?? idea. Y'know, it's all up to you, but I thought it was neat. ['''Chris''': Yeah...]. So I know you're kind of, uhh, discouraged to- to apply for jobs 'cus of like people can just look up your name and see everything about you.

'''Chris''': Yeah, background check. Plus, I've tried, and nobody ever calls me back!

'''Copitz''': They yeah, y'know, it's sad but they might just look up your name and see all the stuff people have 07:43 about you, which is- it's a shame. Y'know, keep trying though. There are jobs out there that are made for- that are made for people that have trouble getting jobs. You'll find something, or hope so.

'''Chris''': And some jobs just in the makin'.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': Do you maybe you'll ever think about going back to college?

'''Chris''': Ehh, probably not. ['''Copitz''': No?] Got too much going on on my plate.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, at least right now. You never know about the future.

'''Chris''': Yeah.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': When you like go out to eat, do you uhh, like, do you usually go with uhh, with your mom or?

'''Chris''': Ehh, I end up going by myself.

'''Copitz''': Does she not like- does she just eat at home?

'''Chris''': Ehh, a lot of the time, but she can go out to eat too.

'''Copitz''': Yeah. Nice and relaxing.

'''Chris''': You know what's funny though? It made me think kinda, y'know? When one gets high and, y'know, it's like- I tend to get haunchy, and even sometimes-

'''Copitz''': What does that mean? Haunchy?

'''Chris''': It's like when you get drunk but rea- when you're tired.

'''Copitz''': Ahh, okay.

'''Chris''': And like it happens not only when- it's like, especially when I'm really mentally tired, so it's like I could be physically going all over and I'm haun- mentally haunchy at the same time.

'''Copitz''': Ahh.

'''Chris''': Yeah, but then, uhh, also, I- I have uhh, drank- drank my share of [[Chris_and_drugs#Alcohol|alcohol]], and it's like I fou- I found that I have such a great sense of self-awareness and, this applies for when I'm haunchy too, it's like I'm still self-aware. ['''Copitz''': so -] But anyway, so, I- you can get me drunk and I'm still aware of everything around me. I've accidentally got high off of uhh, like cold medicine one time.

'''Copitz''': Ooh, how'd that happen?

'''Chris''': Ehh, just, y'know, took a little bit more than I oughta and it just... zoopf. But yeah, high is just not my general thing to- I'm definitely more sober.

'''Copitz''': Okay, yeah, that's good. What's good for you but-

'''Chris''': Yeah, life gets tough, but if you, uhh, stay sober you tend to... get through it under your own power and feel more power yourself that way.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, that's true.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': I think we can all say when we found out, umm, like how close you live we were like "Wow, that's just crazy!" You hear about all this stuff online and... that's- it's a small world!

'''Chris''': Yeah, small piece of Virginia, and [[CWCville]]'s just north Vi- just in north Virginia!

'''Copitz''': Is it? Where is CWCville exactly?

'''Chris''': Ehh, I'd have to pull up a Virginia map, I'll do that right now. Ehh, look it up on my phone.

[''Chris pulls out phone and an overlay appears shows the approximate location of CWCville to be around Fredericksburg, VA'']

'''Chris''': CWCville is right by R- near Fredericksburg.

'''Copitz''': Fredericksburg

'''Lee''': Oh! That's where I wanna be.

'''Chris''': And you see the body of water because you remember there's a beachfront- there's like a beach front.

'''Copitz''': Yup, right there at, uh, Rappahannock River.

'''Chris''': Yeah.

'''Copitz''': [''to Lee''] You said you wanna go to college there?

'''Lee''': Yeah, Mary Washington, yeah, a school in Fredericksburg. Yeah, it's very nice there.

'''Copitz''': I was in Fredericksburg a few weeks ago at the Rappahannock, it's definitely a nice place. I like it.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': Normally you charge maybe, what, $100 for like commissioned videos and stuff, err uh shoutouts, is that right?

'''Chris''': Ehh, fifty to a hundred and negotiable.

'''Copitz''': Yup, but you only charged us $30? ['''Chris''': Ehhh] Thought it'd just be fun to hang out, maybe?

'''Chris''': Yeah...

'''Copitz''': Cut us some slack, as you said?

'''Chris''': Yeah, make it easy for you- for y'all this time.

[''Everyone thanks Chris'']

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': What kind of TV shows do you- do you maybe watch other than uhh My Little Pony?

'''Chris''': I watch Frasier. [''Collective "Oh!"''] Friends, and recently my loves and I we were watching Mom on Hulu.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Chris''': [''singing with all half-joining''] Billie Jean is not my lover!. She just a girl who says (sic) that I am the one! But the kiiiid is not my son!

==2nd Visit and Ghost Hunt==
On 22 March 2019, Copitz, along with two of his friends, went to visit Chris again. During this time, they went "ghost hunting" in the now abandoned DeJarnette Center for Human Development in Staunton, [[Virginia]].

GHOST HUNTING WITH CHRIS CHAN
</pre>

'''Copitz''': What's up guys, we're here at the DeJarnette sanatorium. Uh- I'm here with Christine Weston Chandler.

'''Chris''': [''holding his hand up''] Yo. Yo!

'''Copitz''': AKA Chris Chan, and we're gonna be exploring this place searching for ghosts.

'''Chris''': [[Hello, Juffalo|Ruffalo]]! (?)

'''Copitz''': It's gonna be ''pretty epic'' if I do say so myself.

'''Copitz''': [''laugh'']

[''jump cut to a chain-link fence'']

'''Copitz''': Do you think you can fit through here, Christine?

'''Chris''': I think I can manage.

'''Copitz''': Alright.

[''Copitz's backpack gets caught on the fence'']

'''Chris''': Whup-up-up-up-up, you're caught. [''Chris helps unhook Copitz's backpack from the fence''] There you go.

'''Copitz''': Thank you.

[''jump cut to Chris grunting and struggling to make it through the broken fence gate'']

[''jump cut again to Chris entering the front of the building through a large broken window. The scrape of broken glass on the floor can be heard as Chris steps through'']

'''Copitz''': Nice job.

[''Jump cut to Chris and Copitz wielding flashlights inside the building's dark interior'']

'''Copitz''': So there's a bunch of different levels to this building.

'''Chris''': [''in a strange voice''] I see dead people. I think the ghosts are comin' after me. [''laugh'']

[''camera pans to the wall Chris is illuminating, showing graffiti that says "Fuck you!"'']

[''jump cut to a very short time later; Chris and Copitz are walking down a hall'']

'''Chris''': Christian, come here.

[''jump cut to Chris displaying his wrists'']

'''Chris''': I got quartz- uh, lightning quartz on my wrist.

[''the camera zooms in; the video becomes fuzzy before focusing the close-up on Chris's gloved hands'']

'''Chris''': It might take a- more than one try, but I'm able to do it on the first try often times, [''lifts his arms up, his forearms crossed at the wrists''] but I'm gonna make it grind in here. [''pulls his wrists against each other, making a loud click.''] Ah.

'''Copitz''': Should I stand back?

'''Chris''': [''trying again, another click is made''] ahh, sometimes it [''unintelligible'']. [''click''] Ahh, I can do this, now I can do it [''click'']

[''pan to Copitz'']

'''Copitz''': What are you trying to do?

'''Chris''': Tryin' to make it light. I know I'm able to do it.

[''pan to what looks to be Lee- though it may be another person- while Chris is finally able to get his rock to make light'']

'''Chris''': THERE it is!

'''Copitz''': Aw nice, nice.

[''cut to a hallway with bright light at the end of it'']

'''Chris''': [''observing artwork of hot air balloons on the wall''] Well, that's a nice picture, with all the balloons there. [''reading graffiti on top of it''] My balloooon. I like this picture.

[''jump cut to Chris'']

'''Copitz''': So this is- uh- this is- uh, DeJarnette sanatorium.

[''jump cut to Copitz, his face illuminated by his flashlight'']

'''Copitz''': It's where- uh, Joseph DeJarnette- um, did his work. He's- uh, known for being a pretty famous eugenics doctor, and he's known to still roam the halls. As a ghost, obviously.

'''Chris''': Wha' was 'is name?

'''Copitz''': Closed down waaay long ago- his name was Joseph Dejarnette.

'''Chris''': Joseph. [[Random-access humor|Hello, Joe, what do you know?]]

[''jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': Do you believe in ghosts?

'''Chris''': Ehh, I've met ghosts- so, yes.

[''jump cut to outside'']

'''Copitz''': It's a nice view. Alright, the stairs are over this way.

[''jump cut to back inside the sanatorium'']

'''Copitz''': The next floor.

[''jump cut to Chris and Copitz looking at graffiti that reads "HeLP! Im TRA- pped on the ToP flooR"'']

'''Copitz''': What does that say?

'''Chris''': [''attempting to read the graffiti''] I'm trap-red on the top floor.

'''Copitz''': I'm-

'''Chris''': Oh, "I'm ''trapped'' on the top floor".

'''Copitz''': This isn't the top floor!

'''Chris''': Sorry, I di-

'''Copitz''': How'd they get here?

[''jump cut to more graffiti'']

'''Copitz''': [''reading the graffiti''] "No [[Barack Obama|Obama]]!"

[''quick jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': What do you think about our current administration?

'''Chris''': Ahhhh... [[Pmurt|Trump]] sucks. That's enough said right there.

'''Copitz''': Think so?

'''Chris''': [''slightly distorted by reverberation due to his volume''] We can replace him with anybody, but I know we'll replace with Lisa Simpson 2000(?) after the [[Dimensional Merge|dimension merge]].

'''Copitz''': Oh, by- Lisa Simpson will be the next president?

'''Chris''': Yep.

'''Copitz''': Oh, okay.

[''quick jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': You think everything in cartoons will come true?

'''Chris''': [''sigh''] It's all- everything that's already been... presented on media has already comes (sic) true. In the sense over there, in our sister dimension, [[Dimensions#C-197|C-197]]

'''Copitz''': Ohhh, okay.

'''Chris''': But as for future determinations, that's still to be determined.

[''jump cut to [[Nazis|swastika]] graffiti on the ground'']

'''Copitz''': Check that out.

'''Chris''': [''on top of Copitz''] You know, the swastika used to mean good luck.

[''jump cut to a dark room'']

'''Copitz''': Alright, here it says [''reading graffiti''] "Joseph, come out"

[''quick jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': I don't really want him to come out, to be honest, because he's dead and ghostsnn' are a little scary.

'''Lee''': Not the geese, man.

'''Chris''': Ahhh, the only- you're only scareda' ghosts because you don't have much knowledge about them.

'''Copitz''': Oh, my mistake.

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': I think I can hear something.

'''Copitz''': Uhh, I'm gonna go this way [''laugh'']

'''Chris''': Yeah, I feel something.

[''jump cut to stairs'']

'''Copitz''': Alright, let's go down, let's go down.

[''jump cut to Chris and Copitz walking down the stairs'']

'''Chris''': At least I got good cell reception in here, I'll give you that.

[''jump cut to graffiti that reads "Pots 4 sale'']

'''Chris''': [''unintelligible, talked over by Copitz'']

'''Copitz''': [''laughing''] Pots for sale? Is there- is there a pot dealer in here?

[''jump cut, rumbling can be heard'']

'''Lee''': Got some people.

'''Copitz''': Hello? Hello? Who's there? Hello?

[''jump cut, no more rumbling'']

'''Copitz''': We're friendly!

[''camera man laughs'']

'''Lee''': Yeah. We're not ghosts!

'''Copitz''': Can you hear us?

[''quick jump cut'']

'''Copitz''': [''quietly''] Ah, whatever, I don't think we're ghosts(?)

[''camera man laughs'']

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': Don't worry guys, I think [[Magi-Chan]] Sonichu has us protected.

'''Copitz''': [''on top of Chris''] I can still hear them.

[''jump cut to Copitz's camera pointed at a small unoccupied room with a boarded up window which has a hole in it'']

'''Chris''': Follow my lead. We're calm, we're cool.

'''Copitz''': Let's see- [''walking into the room''] let's check out this little peephole.

[''jump cut to a close up of the peephole'']

'''Lee''': Maybe we can kick it open.

[''quick jump cut to the camera focused on the external landscape'']

'''Copitz''': I don't wanna do that. It's clearly professionally boarded.

[''jump cut to junk'']

'''Copitz''': Lookit this.

'''Chris''': It's a mess alright.

[''jump cut'']

'''Chris''': [''ghost sounds''] Ooooooohhhh

'''Copitz''': [''laugh'']

'''Chris''': Don't worry, we mean ya no harm, spirits.

[''quick jump cut'']

'''Chris''': As long as we don't bodder dem, dey won't bodder us.

[''jump cut to a small room with one large, tall window'']

'''Lee''': Well, if all goes to [''censored''] sh-t, we can climb outta here.

'''Copitz''': Yeah...

[''jump cut to the dark halls of the sanatorium once more'']

'''Chris''': We mean no disrespect or dishonor-

'''Copitz''': [''on top of Chris, agreeing''] Absolutely not.

'''Chris''': We're juuust chronicling.

[''Chris's phone rings, spooking the other ghost hunters'']

'''Chris''': That's my mother. [''to Barb''] Heyo.

'''Barb''': Hello! Okay, bye.

'''Chris''': Bye-bye. [''to the other ghost hunters''] It's okay, that was just my mother calling me.

'''Copitz''': [''on top of Chris, most likely referring to when he was supposed to return home or contact her''] Definitely before six.

[''unintelligible whispering'']

'''Chris''': Y'all's mothers were concerned about yours as well. Y'all when you were... e- I mean no offense, thank you.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Chris''': You know what's weird? I kinda got a similar- this reminds me of after that [[Destruction Of Chris's House|housefire]] in [[2014]] at ho- at my home

'''Copitz''': Oh, yeah-

'''Chris''': Just ennering and exiting all the time, so- it's like, I kinda entered familiar territory with the way everything is around here.

'''Copitz''': For sure, I remember that.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': Oh, there's some nudity on this wall.

'''Chris''': Oh. [''illuminates the graffiti on the wall, which manages to somehow be lower quality than [[ShecameforCWC.JPG]]''] [''laughs''] Jeez.

[''jumpcut to a well-lit room'']

'''Chris''': [''singing terribly''] ''Have some fun haunting around those spooky trails.''

'''Copitz''': [''on top of Chris''] Here. [receives an unidentifiable item from Chris''] [''joining in with Chris''] ''Hopping around the spooky trails.''

'''Chris''': [''scatting''] ''Booby-da-do-ba do-ba-do-bah-da-boo-bu-da-duh-do-duh-do''

'''Copitz''': [''dances'']

[''jumpcut to just outside the sanatorium'']

'''Chris''': Thank you all for your hospitality, our phantasms of the spook. May you all rest in peace. Continue to rest in peace.

[''quick jump cut to Copitz'']

'''Lee''': I wonder who those people were?

'''Chris''': Huh.

'''Copitz''': Yeah, I dunno, we might'a scared them off 'cause they didn't say anything to us.

'''Lee''': They thought we were ghosts. [''unintelligible'']

'''Chris''': That's the difference between knowing and not knowing.

[''piano music begins playing'']

<pre>
That's the difference between knowing... and not knowing -CWC 2019
</pre>

'''Chris''': If you don't know who was there, does it confirm whether somebody was there or not? You hear footsteps, but was there actually people? Or was it the spirits?

'''Copitz''': It coulda' been the spirits, man.

[''quick jump cut'']

'''Chris''': All is not known until all is learned, so seek your knowledge and learn well; keep a cool, calm head.

[''jump cut to Lee taking a selfie with Chris; piano music stops'']

'''Copitz''': Welcome to jamrock.

[''jump cut to Chris and Copitz walking on a hill; wind can be heard in the background'']

'''Copitz''': I know you said [[Bundychu|Ted Bundy]] is going to be coming back in the merge as well...?

'''Chris''': Uhh- oh, in his Sonichu form, eventually. [''quick jump cut''] And since he... reincarnated, he definitely made sure he amended his ways. [''quick jump cut''] I assure you that he's a good guy.

'''Copitz''': Okay.

[''jump cut to Chris and Copitz walking down a trail side-by-side'']

'''Copitz''': So- I mean, Christine, you can see- you can see why some people might think that [''quick jump''] the whole CWCville stuff- that, like, it might just be... part of something that you drew, and it might just be in your imagination?

'''Chris''': Ohhh yeah, no, [''quick jumpcut''] we create something and it ends up there, it's not imagination, you ''literally'' have psychic connections and links to right over there.

'''Copitz''': Yeeeah...

[''jump cut to near a road, cars passing by'']

'''Chris''': Kick the can! And I missed. [''kicks tin can''] There you go. [''laugh'']

[''jump cut to 4 in car, Copitz driving, Chris in passenger seat, Lee and Unnamed Cameraman in backseat'']

[''Chris drinking Gatorade while side-eyeing camera'']

[''jump cut to Chris talking to his mother on phone'']

'''Chris''': Hi Mom, checking in. I don't know if you wanted to, uh, wait 'til after I got home to fix dinner or whatever. I'll see you later, love you.

'''Copitz''': Let's do a beatboxing contest, okay? I'll go first, you ready?

[''starts beatboxing decently'']

'''Copitz''': Alright your turn, Christine!

[''Chris starts beatboxing horribly'']

[''Copitz adds interjections and drum noises'']

'''Copitz''': Christine on the mic!

[''Cuts back and forth between Chris and Copitz beatboxing'']

'''Chris''': Honey, I got one more.

[''continues beatboxing badly'']

[''Copitz joins in for a duet'']

[''jumpcut'']

'''Lee''': When do you think the dimensional merge is happening?

'''Chris''': It's very soon, within these- within the coming days.

'''Lee''': I'm unfamiliar with what that is, what is that?

'''Chris''': Where the dimensions of - where our OCs exist and coexist and -

'''Copitz''': [''clarifying for those in backseat''] Original Characters

'''Chris''': - reside, and here, where everybody will get to see the OCs.

'''Copitz''': I'll have to see to- to believe it, really, honestly, but I'd like to- I'd like to learn more about the way that you - that you think about it, like the psychological aspect ['''Chris''': maybe] if that makes sense.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Lee''': There was a theory going around that you were having like very specific dreams due to some of the medications.

'''Chris''': Well, it's hard to confirm or deny that, but I feel like I can s- I feel like I can say it's... quite a bust. I mean most of my dreams remain neutral, and my nightmares. I have my good dreams, but I'm a lucid dreamer.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': So you were talking about Lisa Simpson as President, how do you think - what do you think that's going to be like?

'''Chris''': I don't know which President compare it to really. I mean, I'd like - I would like to say Obama...

[''jumpcut'']

[''Chris makes honking noise'']

[''Copitz honks the car horn twice'']

[''Chris laughs'']

[''jump cut to "Damian Marley - Welcome To Jamrock" playing and Copitz singing along'']

'''Lee''': [''recording Chris on his phone, loud music and Copitz singing makes it hard to hear''] Christine, sing!

'''Chris''': What?

'''Lee''': Sing along!

[''Chris sings nonsense'']

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': If you wanted to ask - access the, what's it called? C-

'''Chris''': C-197

'''Copitz''': C-197. If you wanted to access that right now, could you do it?

'''Chris''': Oh yeah.

'''Copitz''': Would you like to try it? I don't know if anybody's ever seen you do it before if you-

'''Chris''': Okay, well, hang on I'll-

[''Chris closes eyes and makes a concentrated face'']

[''slow fade transition, presumably a few seconds have passed without Chris talking'']

'''Copitz''': Christine, can you still hear us?

'''Chris''': [''In a more distant voice''] Yes, I hear you.

'''Copitz''': Are you in C-197?

'''Chris''': Yup.

'''Copitz''': Do you think I could have a conversation with one of them through you? Like you could tell me what they're saying and you could tell them what I'm saying?

'''Chris''': Uh, [[Hyperdimension_Neptunia#Battery-Charge_Heart|Sabrina]] is telling me, "Say hi to- Hi Selmy - Hi Christian! It's nice to talk to you!"

'''Copitz'''; Hi Sabrina, tell Sabrina I said hi.

'''Chris''': Oh, she hears you through me, so it's like a conduit.

'''Copitz''': Oh, okay. Could I speak to, uh, maybe, like, Lisa Simpson or somebody?

'''Chris''': Okay, well, I'm gonna have to move my soul all the way over to Springfield. Well, I'm talking with Homer right now, she's not - she's not home right now.

'''Copitz''': Can I speak to Marge?

'''Chris''': She's coming in! Hi, Marge! She doesn't want her... speech put on the Internet.

'''Copitz'''; Oh, okay.

[''Camera zooms into Chris's deeply concentrated face'']

'''Chris''': But she will say, for everyone... to remain on their best behavior and to be kind to each other. She will not stand for... crass and rudeness.

'''Copitz''': Oh, of course not. Yes, wise words, Marge. Thank you.

[''quick jumpcut'']

'''Chris''': [''sigh''] Ugh, fwoop tired, I've gotta come back here.

[''Chris opens his eyes and acts like he's returning to our dimension'']

'''Chris''': Blech. I had to come back, I got - my brain got worn out.

[''jumpcut'']

'''Copitz''': Alright, let's do our outro here. Ay. Alright guys, we had a great -

Chris and reality

Babiso: Grammar

{{HealthDisclosure}}
{{quote|You can only escape in your mental depths and recluse for so long before you are pulled back to reality, and too many things leave you feeling like you get little peace at home.|Chris, [[December 2016]], in a rare moment of self-awareness on his habit of escapism.<ref name=rare>[[December 2016 Facebook posts#State of CWC's life]]</ref>}}
[[File:30yrslater.jpg|thumb|250px|This is what Chris actually believes.]]
[[File:Ideaguy poster.jpg|thumb|right|250px|thumb|...for real.]]

'''Reality''' is a concept that [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]] desperately tries to avoid acknowledging, instead retreating to the comfort of his imaginary world and hoping that reality will eventually bend to his whims. Many people with [[autism]] struggle to distinguish between reality and fantasy, but most make an effort to reduce the impact on their lives. Chris, on the other hand, embraces his realm of fantasy, especially as escapism from [[stress]], life responsibilities, and his bleak future, trapping himself in a feedback loop whereby his real-world life and issues are further neglected while his devotion to his fantasies gets stronger.

Notably, Chris believes that [[CWCville]] and his [[imaginary friends]] are real: Chris has been spotted conversing, interacting and [[BronyCon 2017#Dancing with Magi-Chan|dancing]] with them on many occasions, and even believes that he is [[Polyamorous marriage|married]] to imaginary people. Chris also holds many delusions of grandeur, from believing he has the power to curse people,<ref>According to [[Jackie Chat 5]] and [[Jackie E-mails 16]], Chris wrote that Sonichu was in Mary Lee Walsh’s office with him: he then pretended to be Sonichu himself and delivered a lecture, before using the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] attack.</ref> to thinking he has [[PsychicPowers|psychic powers]], and even believing he is a [[CPU Blue Heart|goddess]] with the power to unite entire [[dimensions]] — and that this [[Dimensional Merge]] would make him rich and bring his fictional characters, and those of others, to life.

Chris's perception of reality has been on a downward spiral for most of his life, due to a lifetime of being coddled by his parents. Following the death of his [[father]] in 2011, and amid the increasing infirmity of his [[mother]], Chris was forced into shouldering more responsibilities which he was mentally ill-equipped to bear, and consequently, he invested more heavily in magical beliefs as solutions to the problems presented by reality. In 2017, the [[Idea Guys]], trolls who utilized role-playing as Chris's imaginary friends, further exacerbated Chris's grasp of reality, giving validation to his fantasies and encouraging him to stay rooted in his fantasy world — a trend continued at present-day by waves of [[enablers]].

Chris maintains his beliefs even in the face of mental health professionals — for nine months between summer 2018 and spring 2019, he was required to see a psychiatrist and therapy group at [[Region Ten]] and told them of his beliefs on his imaginary friends and multiple dimensions, to which their reaction was to simply hand-wave him through their program.

== Causes of Chris’s poor grip on reality ==

[[File:I'm Done Adulting T-shirt.png|thumb|200px|Chris wearing his "I'm Done Adulting" T-shirt while begging for money and being surrounded by toys in his [[Patreon announcement]]. (You can't be finished with something that never started.)]]

===Parental enabling===
Although autism is one major factor, [[Borb|his parents]] contributed a lot towards Chris's warped perception of anyone or anything that antagonizes him: Bob and Barbara regularly fed Chris conciliatory platitudes about how he was mistreated out of jealousy, and that "special rules" exist for the benefit of autistic people. The platitudes cemented Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|all-pervasive sense of entitlement]], as well as his indiscriminate belief that [[Greene County Conspiracy|anything bad that happened to him was a conspiracy]], whether or not it was caused by his [[slow-in-the-minds|stupidity]] or [[Chris and negotiation|stubbornness]].

===Psychological problems===

The only known formal diagnoses of Chris are [[autism]], dating from when he was five or six years old, and [[transgender|gender dysphoria]], officially diagnosed in 2016. However, his behavior in adulthood suggests he has undiagnosed issues.

Chris exhibits signs of {{W|maladaptive daydreaming}}, a psychiatric disorder comprised of vivid daydreams and excessive fantasies that can interfere with socializing or even replace it altogether. This behavior is observed in Chris with his [[imaginary friends]] and [[CWCville]], the [[Dimensional Merge]], and especially the [[polyamorous marriage]]. Maladaptive Daydreaming is also associated with pacing and musical stimulation. Eyewitness accounts of Chris such as [[The Tale of the Crazy Pacer]] mention these behaviors in him. Chris also stated that music from his phone is his method for [[meditation]].<ref>[[Live Reading of SNT Vs Sonichu, Part 2]]</ref>

{{w|Peter Pan syndrome}} is a pop psychology term to describe those who are immature and refuse to grow up and accept adult responsibilities. Chris has demonstrated this with his refusal to seek [[work]], instead [[beg]]ging for money or ignoring his [[debt]] payments to afford more toys. An [[Debt hearing (eyewitness account)|eyewitness to one of Chris's debt hearings]] noted that Chris was "trying hard to revert to childhood", based on how he made childish noises during his time in the courtroom and talked back to his mother in a childlike voice. The Dimensional Merge represents Chris's ultimate desire to hide from adult responsibilities, as he believes it will grant his wildest power fantasies and enable him to continue living like a child. Chris's devotion to rejecting adult life has warped his perception of reality, as he spends all of his free time playing make-believe as if it were a religion.

A common theory since the Dimensional Merge saga unfolded is that Chris may have schizophrenia, based on his rantings about his imaginary world seeming as if he cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy. However, a closer look at Chris's ramblings shows that he's capable of discerning the difference, but avoids it in order to preserve his escapist fantasies. Unlike a schizophrenic, Chris will distinguish between reality (or as he calls it, [[1218]]) and his fantasy domain (named [[C-197]]).

{{quote|though not fully doable on the 1218 side of the Dimensional Curtain yet, [I am] able to draw up a water-to-wine conversion and vice-versa.|Chris<ref>[[Reddit]]</ref> showing he is aware he doesn't have super-powers in reality.}}

Also unlike a schizophrenic, Chris's fantasies do not involve paranoia or hallucinations and are entirely self-serving. While Chris has made statements implying he is hallucinating, such as when he insists he can see or interact with his [[imaginary friends]], he often omits that he uses techniques such as [[meditation]] or astral projection, another indicator that his issue is Maladaptive Daydreaming.

{{quote|I’ve had to commute to here, Dimension C-197, via astral projection [...] The tough part is having to leave my body behind in 1218. [...] Oh, but very soon, I shall finally, finally, be able to bring mys--body here to C-197.|Chris giving a rare explanation on how he delves into his fantasy world.<ref>[[A Moment With Dr Wolf Chris Chan and Greater Struggles]]</ref>}}

Chris' behavior and beliefs however align at least somewhat with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizotypal_personality_disorder| Schizotypal personality disorder], which is thought to exist on a spectrum with Schizophrenia. With him matching at least six of the nine diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5:

*ideas of reference (believing that [[COVID-19|certain]] generally innocuous [[Dimensional Merge|events ]] hold special meaning or messages for oneself)
*[[CPU Blue Heart|strange beliefs]] or [[magical thinking]] that [[Mary Lee Walsh|influences behavior]] and is inconsistent with [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|subcultural norms]]
*[[Imaginary friends|abnormal perceptual experiences, including bodily illusions]]
*[[Conspiracy theories|suspiciousness]] or [[Greene County Conspiracy|paranoid ideation]]
*[[Saga|strange behavior]] or [[Chris and fashion|appearance]]
*excessive social anxiety that does not diminish with familiarity and tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgments about self, (whilst Chris was largely comfortable around his paid for [[Gal-Pal|companions]] during [[Manchester High School|High School]], his interaction with both the [[Love Quest|fairer sex]] and [[Man in the pickle suit|pickle bearers]] have since been riddled with [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor|paranoid fears]] and [[Manajerks|delusions]])

The last three symptoms however, namely:
*strange thinking and speech
*lack of close friends
*inappropriate or constricted affect
whilst also present in Chris, can be almost exclusively attributed to his [[autism]], much like his [[narcissism]]. Also Schizotypal individuals generally do not develop the [[Messiah complex|grandiose delusions]] he has developed over the years and are [[Chris's room|generally reclusive]]. So further digging than internet armchair analysis is required, which Chris of course will likely never receive, thanks to his [[Chris and mental healthcare|adamant refusal]] to seek out help voluntarily or benefit from professional help that is forced upon him.

===Lack of grounding in the real world===
[[File:Artist_Depiction_of_Chris_mind.jpg|thumb|Artist's depiction of Chris's imaginary world after he passes away and it dies with him.]]
Chris's lack of purpose, combined with his enormous [[ego]], further fuels his disconnection from reality, compelling him to instead seek out purpose with make-believe, such as being the mayor of [[CWCville]] and being the goddess [[CPU Blue Heart]].

Since the government provides for him with the [[monthly tugboat]] — along with money from financial [[enablers]] — and his parents always providing a roof over his head, Chris has never had an incentive to [[Chris and work|get a job]]. Without the structure that a job, even a minimum-waged or volunteer position, would impart to him, Chris is instead free to wallow in his fantasies.

Chris's hobbies are mostly limited to [[Netflix]], [[video games]], [[YouTube]], and [[Twitter]]. Despite supposedly having a calling for art, he rarely draws like he used to. While video games can stimulate the brain, his hobbies leave little room for creativity or substantial self-improvement. Even a simple hobby like photography would be a big step up from Chris's current avocations.

Chris rarely leaves his [[room]], instead preferring to [[daydream]] for "three to six hours per day<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#Barb ain't dead yet + Magi-Chan's likes]]</ref>". When he does socialize, it is mainly on his terms, role-playing with enablers who keep him invested in his fantasies or appearing at conventions with [[fans]] who treat him as a celebrity.

{{quote|As for what I do while awake, on the recent, I get up, take my meds, meditate while playing Tetris 99 to at least take on the daily tasks for the game. Most days, I go out on errand or simple walking [...] Anyway, during the time at home, I tend to binge a show, do some drawing or creative, work (namely the [[TSSSF]] cards and the comic pages).|Chris describing his day-to-day life.<ref>[[Discord]]</ref>}}

===Escapist fantasies===
[[File:Dimensional Merge math on McDonalds napkin.jpg|thumb|200|Chris will sit down and [[Chris and science#Mathematics|calculate]] the number of casualties in his [[Dimensional Merge]] fantasy but won't write up a budget plan for paying off his [[debt]].]]

Chris embraces his fantasies as escapism, overindulging in them to the point that his interest in them has largely eclipsed his real world life. When his childlike lifestyle conflicts with the responsibilities associated with being an adult, Chris retreats to his fantasy realm to cope.

This habit became especially prevalent in the years following the September 2011 death of his [[father]], after which Chris found himself thrust into the world of adult responsibilities as he had to do tasks such as pay his bills and help take care of his [[mother]] and pets. Chris was 29 years old when his father passed away; while most people would be accustomed to dealing with responsibilities by that age, Chris was unprepared for the burden since his parents had sheltered him up to that point for example, until he died, his father had managed Chris's bank account due to his fiscal irresponsibility.<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 8]]</ref>

{{quote|When my father was alive, I had more freedom; now that he has passed, I lost a lot of freedom and remain to take after the tasks he had left behind. [...] You can only escape in your mental depths and recluse for so long before you are pulled back to reality, and too many things leave you feeling like you get little peace at home.|Chris.<ref name=rare></ref>}}

Chris occasionally whined on social media about his position in having to help take care of his mother and pets — his statements gradually revealing more of his retreat into escapist fantasies.

In September 2012, he complained:

{{quotebox|Everybody else gets to go out for a fun and good time; I am stuck care-giving my mother and our [[dogs]], and it is Very Stressful on me.<ref>[[September 2012 Facebook posts#I Require Friends]]</ref>}}

In January 2013, Chris was hoping for a [[sweetheart]] to rescue him from his life:

{{quotebox|I need my Sweetheart-to-be to make me happy; my heart hurts literally from my depression and loneliness. Serving my mother is not a final purpose to me, and my social life is very slim. I feel like I lack direction in my life as well.<ref>[[January 2013 Facebook posts#Chris needs direction]]</ref>}}

By summer 2017, Chris was immersed in his escapism to the point that he was [[dancing with Magi-Chan]], one of his [[imaginary friends]], at [[BronyCon]]. In October of that year, from his list of reasons for refusing to get a job, half involved his devotion to his fantasies:

{{quotebox|I Have a TON and S***-Load of Responsibilities and Worries here at home care-taking my mother, dogs, cats, and to my own passion of my [[Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon]] Family, my City of Cwcville, my own Only-Me Psychic Connection [[Imaginary friends|to my family and friends there]], in that dimension. So, I'll be darned if I Do Not already have enough on my plate<ref>[[Kiwi Farms#Posts]]</ref>}}

Chris's desire to be rescued from reality left him desperate for his fantasies to be validated, his mentality similar to people willing to join cults. This led to Chris being exploited by a number of trolls, with the most infamous being the [[Idea Guys]]. Chris would only continue to retreat further and further into this elaborate alternate reality he has constructed in his mind. While under arrest for [[Jail Saga|sexually assaulting his elderly mother]], Chris chose to ignore the seriousness of the situation he was in and gave a long spiel to the responding police officers about Sonichu, his status as a Supreme Goddess, and the Dimensional Merge. Currently, as Chris sits in prison awaiting trial, he has now chosen to believe that he is also the [[Jail_Letter_-_19_September_2021|reincarnation of Jesus Christ.]]

===Cult of the Idea Guys===
{{main|Idea Guys|Enablers|List of beliefs brainwashed into Chris}}
{{quote|I feel need to also thank them for adding more connection between our sister dimension and I|Chris on the Idea Guys, retaining his cultist mentality several months after they had been ousted.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1017879233119469568</ref>}}

[[File:IdeaGuyCwc News Media.PNG|thumb|200px|Chris fell for this fake news graphic made by the original Idea Guy as part of his plot to convince Chris he was providing information from [[CWCville]]'s dimension.]]

On 25 [[October 2017]], Joshua Wise, the first of a duo that would later be dubbed the Idea Guys, contacted Chris.<ref>Date given in [[Sonichu 13]].</ref> Initially as an experiment to gauge Chris's gullibility, Wise began a plot to manipulate Chris into believing that Wise had made it into [[CWCville]]'s dimension. Drawing from his experience in role-playing communities and borrowing lore from video game/anime series ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'', Wise crafted an elaborate narrative which included edited image graphics, doctored audio clips such as [[Red Forest]], and role-playing as Chris's [[imaginary friends]]. Chris, by this point in his life desperate for his fantasies to be validated, eagerly accepted Wise's claims.<ref name=IGQA>[[Idea Guy Q&A]]</ref>

The association between Wise and Chris morphed into cult leader and devout follower. Wise, taking advantage of Chris's desire for validation, brainwashed his beliefs on CWCville and his imaginary friends, such as by claiming CWCville to be [[Operation BARBarossa|occupied by Nazis]], that [[Rosechu]] is a transgender woman, and that Chris is [[Polyamorous marriage|married to imaginary friends]], with Chris accepting it as fact.

At some point, the second Idea Guy, Stephen Boyd, joined with Wise. Together, the two exploited their influence over Chris and had him make false statements for blackmail purposes and conned Chris into giving them thousands of dollars under threats they would destroy CWCville and release the blackmail material if he failed to comply.<ref name=extortionists></ref> Their activities caught the attention of people in Chris's inner circle, who formed a group later termed the [[Guard Dogs]] to counteract the Idea Guys and remove them from power. However, even after the ousting, and though the Guard Dogs tried to encourage him to seek therapy at [[Region Ten]], Chris still retained most of the beliefs the Idea Guys had brainwashed into him over the six months they were in power. Guard Dog Marvin explained Chris's perspective:

{{quoteboxgreen|"Reality" is a malleable concept to Chris.

To Chris, that these losers were pretending to be imaginary characters doesn't mean they they didn't unwittingly connect with their counterparts in the other dimension or whatever. So yeah, he thinks Wise and Boyd were assholes who stumbled upon some magic or some shit.

Chris is mostly mad about money first and being made to embarrass himself second.

In regards to why he still maintains a lot of their canon, it's because Chris is too invested in his imaginary world to give up on it so easily. I think after Wise and Boyd were outed, he felt really uncomfortable about retconning most of their changes. Because if he retcons the past six months, then fuck, why can't he retcon all of it? That would make him feel really uneasy about the possible reality of his imaginary world.

That reality is most important to him.<ref>https://archive.md/9GYiD</ref>}}

The post-Idea Guys era ignited a wave of [[enablers]] who sought to use the Idea Guys' tactics to worm their way into Chris's life. For a few months, the Guard Dogs attempted to protect Chris by screening his messages for him. However, given Chris's refusal to address his psychological weaknesses and willingness to find others to play make-believe with, the enablers eventually broke past their defenses, leading to the Guard Dogs washing their hands of Chris. The [[Teen Troon Squad]] in fall 2018, [[MKRNightVee]] in winter 2019, [[Jacob Sockness]] in summer 2019, and a myriad of [[other enablers]] took turns role-playing with Chris and enabling his fantasies in exchange for his attention. In addition, using lore brute-forced into his head by the Idea Guys, Chris declared himself to be a goddess — [[CPU Blue Heart]] — and began to preach about the [[Dimensional Merge]], further intensifying the cult vibes of his beliefs.

==Consequences==
[[File:Discord3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The fictional superweapon Kadingir, as depicted in anime series ''Symphogear''. The Idea Guys used this image to con Chris into believing they had the capability to destroy the moon and CWCville.<ref>[[The Bad Beginning]]</ref>]]

Beyond making a fool of himself, Chris's poor grasp of reality has compelled him to self-harm, fall for con men exploiting his beliefs, and cause damage to his home.

===Self-harm===
{{w|Gender dysphoria|Late-onset gender dysphoria}} is a psychological disorder describing those who identify with another gender over their own, and can present with the desire to be rid of their primary sex characteristics and prefer those of the other gender. Like with everything else in life, Chris sought out [[magical thinking]] to treat his gender dysphoria.

In March 2016, he discovered [[Subliminal Frequency Hypnosis]], a collection of music tracks on YouTube claiming to, among other things, magically grant larger breasts and transform a penis into a vagina. Chris's confirmation bias over his breasts increasing, crediting it to the mysticism instead of his {{w|gynecomastia}} and [[My Breast Massage Routine 18+|poor measuring of his chest]], led him to believe that the claims made by the channel were true.

He pursued the penis-vagina transformation, and began to prod his taint while under the impression there was a hidden vagina there.<ref>[[Reddit#Can males be born with a hidden vagina (minus the uterus)? (3 July 2016)]]</ref> Though the Subliminal channel claimed the transformation would take six months, Chris eventually lost patience. In July 2016, he grabbed a knife and made a [[self-inflicted taint wound]] to an effort to free his vagina. Chris's devotion to the delusion was so potent that he initially resisted efforts by concerned fans to pressure him into going to the hospital, though he eventually wore down and admitted it was a wound and obeyed treatment instructions.

===Con artists===
While Chris has long been taken advantage of by trolls, the tactics and goals from the likes of the [[Idea Guys]] and [[Jacob Sockness]] surpass the typical catfishing-for-content.

The Idea Guys gradually built up a strong psychological hold over Chris by affirming his fantasies and playing along with them, to the point where Chris had full faith over anything they told him. They then used their influence to con Chris out of $6,000 by threatening to blow up [[CWCville]] with a moon laser if he failed to comply, manipulate him into punching his mother, and had him make videos [[Chris slaps himself|slapping himself in the face]] and shitting on the floor.<ref name=extortionists>https://archive.md/uwFMy/</ref> Things became even darker when the Idea Guys threatened to falsely report Chris as a [[Pedofork|pedophile]] to the FBI if he stopped supplying them with vast sums of money, consoles and games, thus deepening the [[Financhu Crisis]].

Jacob Sockness, following the example set by the Idea Guys, nearly succeeded in manipulating Chris into a sexual relationship, holding the [[Dimensional Merge]] over his head and [[Sockness impersonates Magi-Chan|faking a conversation with Chris's imaginary friend]] to convince him they should meet and consider marriage.

Though both the Idea Guys and Sockness were eventually ousted — by people countering their role-playing with their own — Chris has failed to learn and continues to leave the gates to his imaginary realm open to anyone who will validate his fantasies further.

===Property damage===

As of [[July 2021]], a bathroom in the Chandler home has damage to the drywall from being punched in. Chris stated that he had punched the wall in order to physically break the "[[Iron Curtain]]" - his term for a dimensional barrier between reality and his fantasy dimension [[C-197]].

[[File:Cwcpaddedcell credit Un Platano.jpg|right|thumb|The chances of this happening were staggering... [[Jail Letter - 16 November 2021|And one day, it did happen!]]]]

By the time the internet first discovered him circa 2007, Chris already held beliefs that CWCville and his imaginary friends were real, and that he had the power to curse people. Since then, as a maladaptive coping mechanism for his real-world life crumbling around him, Chris gradually took on larger-scale fantasies, such as [[Dimensions|parallel dimensions]].

=== CWCville ===

{{main|CWCville}}

CWCville is Chris’s original vision of an imaginary and idyllic fantasy world, where everything is built around his comfort and convenience, and where he enjoys great power with scant responsibility. Chris believes that CWCville is real, and uses the city as a way to “escape” from a world that does not [[Chris and his Ego|give Chris what he wants]]. CWCville was originally an infill city within the state of [[Virginia]], but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started toying with the [[Dimensional Merge]].

All of Chris's characters are aware that Chris is the creator of their reality. Sonichu and Rosechu both refer to him as "father", in much the same way [[Chris and religion|a Christian might consider God to be his or her Creator]] (it is unknown if the comic exists in the universe of CWCville). Chris believes his characters possess the free will to make their own decisions, and that he is not responsible for their actions. This is how various events, both major and minor, such as Sonichu and Rosechu's wedding, the birth of [[Sonichu and Rosechu's children|their children]],<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu#Sonichu_and_Rosechu_from_1998_to_Today Sonichu Page on CWCipedia</ref> [[Kel]]'s romance with [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|Naitsirhc]],<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu#First_Encounter_with_Naitsirhc</ref> and even [[Bubbles Rosechu|Bubbles]] and [[Blake]]'s wedding<ref>[[I_Am_The_TRUE,_Original_CCWC#A_history_.286:02_to_9:34.29 I Am The TRUE, ORIGINAL CCWC]]</ref> are said to actually happen "off-screen", instead of just being a [[Chris and writing|spur-of-the-moment throwaway plot elements]] that Chris is [[stress|too lazy to depict]]. Without prior explanation, Chris made a "spoiler" in his own comic that [[Magi-Chan]] will eventually get together with [[Silvana]], implying that, in Chris's head, this has already "happened".<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_10/Page_37 Issue 10 Page 37</ref> It is [[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|Slaweel Ryam]], not Chris, who apologizes for slandering [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[Mary Lee Walsh#Possible reconciliation]]</ref> Chris once justified his refusal to write Simonla out of the comic by saying that she would not want to leave CWCville, and that she and [[Wild Sonichu|Wild]] would fight for her right to stay.<ref>[[Mailbag 43#...well, this is disturbing!]]</ref>

Chris considers everything drawn, written, or even said about CWCville to be canonical if he's the one stating it (regardless of contradictions) and feels it necessary to explain away undesirable changes to CWCville made as a result of outside influences (e.g. [[BILLY MAYS]], [[Julie Reveals Herself|as Mayor]]). The fact that he needs to explain this in his comic pages shows that he assumes everyone else shares this belief as well. Despite considering his own judgement infallible as applied to his own work, he forces [[Alec Benson Leary calls|others]] to accept the "corrections" he has made to theirs.

When the [[Asperpedia Four]] used systematic trolling to make Chris kill off the character [[Simonla Rosechu#Simonla as the Lynchpin|Simonla]], Chris viewed it as a deliberate attack on his fantasy world. CWCville, which had always been Chris's way of retreat from the real world, had been infiltrated by outside forces and was no longer impenetrable, so this is likely why Chris put the comic on hiatus; to stop outside forces from causing any more damage.

Chris's beliefs are such that he even claims to hold the distinction of Mayor of CWCville "IN REAL LIFE".<ref>[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> He only admits that CWCville is not real when he intends to pacify others he sees as too slow in the mind to comprehend this idea. He most likely defends this belief because he has accomplished and produced virtually nothing worthwhile in his life, and he likes to pretend that he has made a positive impact on something — if only on a metaphysical level. In his opinion, anyone who does not accept this worldview is "[[Chris and hypocrisy|naïve]]".

On 23 July 2017, Chris responded to his [[True and Loyal Fanbase]], who wondered why Chris wouldn't reboot his comics. As a response, Chris explained that if he were to reboot his comics, that would mean that history in the canon would have to start all over again, and all of the characters would have to start over from their original origins. Essentially, he thinks that if he pulls the plug on his Sonichu franchise and reboots it, that would mean that [[Chris and death|all of his characters would die, and they would somehow reincarnate into their newer upgraded versions]].

=== Dimensions ===
{{main|Dimensions|Dimensional Merge}}

{{quote|the moment I brought up the multiverse, he listened.|The original [[Idea Guy]] on how he got Chris's attention.<ref name=IGQA></ref>}}

Chris’s belief in alternative dimensions enables him to disconnect from the poor and mundane life he currently resides in and to shift responsibility over personality flaws to an alternative Chris.<ref>[[Live Reading of SNT Vs Sonichu, Part 2]]</ref> It gives him solace to believe that he, or other versions of himself, exist in other places where he is content, successful, and surrounded by characters and people who love him. The Idea Guys exploited Chris's nascent beliefs and desires on other dimensions and further shaped them as part of their cult-like grip over his beliefs.

The Dimensional Merge is Chris's ultimate escapist fantasy, enabling him to think he is powerful, wealthy, with real friends and a happy marriage, all just waiting for him on the other side of the "dimensional curtain". A concept originally created by the Idea Guys and later expanded on by Chris with the help of fantasy enablers, the Merge is his hope that the sister dimensions 1218 and C-197 will unify, with him overseeing the merge in his role as the goddess [[CPU Blue Heart]]. The dimension "1218" (sometimes referred to as "Earth 1218") is the dimension of reality. The dimension "C-197" is the designation for Chris's imaginary world which contains all of his favorite fictional characters and [[OC]]s. The Merge was originally scheduled to complete by the end of [[2018]] leaving behind a universe known as 1C-211987 with elements of both sister dimensions and enable Chris to realize his dream of hanging out with Sonichu and his pals.

===Imaginary friends===
{{main|Imaginary friends}}

{{quote|And One Day, Very Soon, [[Polyamorous marriage|my family]] and I will be able to show ourselves to you all, then you will be taking back your own “scizzo” labels. Harrumph!|Chris, [[May 2018 social media posts#Imaginary family|vowing]] that we will see his characters in the flesh.}}

{{quote|When I look into the eyes of a Original or Fictional Character, I do not see Fiction at all; I see a full living being and individual. I see a friend, or lover in few cases.|Chris, [[April 2021 social media posts#Fictional characters|describing]] how he sees his characters as real.}}

[[File:ChrisOverhearingNightstar.png|thumb|Chris overhears a conversation held by his imaginary friend [[Night Star]].]]

In addition to CWCville, Chris's belief in imaginary friends is another major element of escapism. A mix of maladaptive coping and daydreaming, Chris believes that [[List of Sonichu characters|his characters]] actually exist in both [[C-197]] and [[Dancing with Magi-Chan|1218]], and that he can communicate with them via [[meditation]] sessions — in reality conflating his inner monologue with imagined visions and voices of his fictional friends.

There are many instances of Chris trying to interact with his imaginary friends over the years, becoming more prevalent over time as his desire for escapism intensifies. Examples include [[Imaginary friends#Sonichu|his confrontation]] with [[Mary Lee Walsh]] in 2004, his [[Dancing with Magi-Chan|imaginary dance partner]] at the 2017 BronyCon gala, and social media messages near the end of the 2010s written either from a point of view of any of his [[OC]]s<ref>[[June 2019 social media posts#Heart attack claim|Twitter messages]] from @MagiChan111448, 26 June 2019.</ref> or in which he claims to be with any of them.<ref name=aug2019car>[[August 2019 social media posts#Chris caused a fender-bender and kicked a cop car; discovers he's blacklisted from Papa Johns|Twitter messages]] from @CPU_CWCSonichu, 5 August 2019.</ref>

In fall 2017, the Idea Guys role-played as Chris's own imaginary friends, giving Chris validation over his preexisting notions and further fueling his maladaptive behavior — such as by convincing Chris that his imaginary friends will be united with him in the [[Dimensional Merge]] and that he is married to several of them in a [[polyamorous marriage]].

===Magical thinking===
{{main|Magical thinking}}

{{quote|Quite frankly I believe you are wasting your time there are more productive things in life than levitating a pen put your energy into those.|Magician Uri Geller's advice for Chris, who had asked Uri for help training his psychic powers.<ref name=uri>[[Misc E-mails#Uri Geller Emails]]</ref>}}

{{quote|I am Not wasting my time!|Chris's reply.}}

Chris's habit of magical thinking is another maladaptive coping method, manifesting in delusions of grandeur. Instead of putting in effort to improve his own life, Chris prefers to believe that magic will do it for him. In addition, he believes that magic will allow him to neutralize his perceived enemies.

{{quote|I intend to do a LOT more good with my Psychic Powers to bring Peace and take down up to All of the Internet Haters and Bullies! I Need to do all these in my own control.|Chris<ref name=uri></ref>}}

Chris believes he has an array of magic powers. Most notable is the ability to [[curse-ye-ha-me-ha|curse]] his enemies (as well as to [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha Retraction|undo it]]). Others include [[Sarah May Skype Logs|communicating with the dead]], [[U8C43P2A37A8 y U8C1N023V0L|brainwashing people]], and [[psychic powers]].

===Superstitions===
[[Image:Chris_chan_and_reality_jpg.jpg|450px|thumb|left|{{w|The Shining (film)|"Great party, isn't it?"}}]]

While most of Chris's superstitions are his own, he also takes part in popular superstitions as well. Autistic people in general tend to be predisposed to wishful and magical thinking, finding superstitions to be comforting.

Chris dislikes the number 13, because he thinks it is an unlucky number: triskaidekaphobia (the fear of 13) is already a common American superstition, with {{w|Microsoft Office}} notably skipping version 13 during the development of Office 2010.<ref>Flynn, David, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090206073052/http://apcmag.com/microsoft_to_skip_unlucky_office_13.htm/ ‘Microsoft to skip "unlucky" Office 13’], ''Australian Personal Computer (APC)'', 29 March 2007 (accessed 6 May 2019).</ref> However, Chris's fear of the number 13 had an unusual effect on the numbering of the ''Sonichu'' comics, where ''Sonichu #13'' was numbered as [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]] (showing his incompetency with either logic or [[math]])<ref>[[CLog 08142017 - More Positive Content|Captain’s Log, 14 August 2017 (''More Positive Content'')]].</ref> and where the Episode ''"One Lucky Dog"'' from [[Sonichu 6|''Sonichu'' #6]] was labelled "[[Sonichu 6#Episode 12.5: "One Lucky Dog"|Episode 12.5]]".<ref>[https://archive.sonichu.com/cwcville/SchuComic7P1.htm Sonichu 6, Page 1.]</ref> On [[Twitter]], when going into multi-tweet rants, Chris numbers the tweets. For Twitter messages which exceed 12 tweets, Chris either replaces the number 13 with a repeated 12 or with 12-9.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1023969772168511488</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1006915844016869377</ref><ref>It should be noted that there are more sensible ways for avoiding the use of the number 13, even if it is necessary to maintain the consistency of numbering. They include:
* Renumbering 13 as 12A, 12½ or 12.5;
* Renumbering 13 as 12B, and renumber 12 as 12A.</ref>

Chris has also shown belief in astrology. He included his and [[Sarah Nicole Hammer|Sarah Hammer]]'s zodiac signs in the [[Chris + Sarah's Life-Shares|Life-Shares]]. In his [[OkCupid]] profile, he wrote that his sign is "Pisces, and it's fun to think about". He wrote to [[Jessica Quinn]], "I am emotion-prone, and I tend to do as I feel and life flows, like the Pisces I was born under."<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts]]</ref> One of the quotes on his first Facebook was "I was born under the Sign of PISCES, the sign of the PROVIDER. I am fully capable of providing the necessities, and then some, for the Lucky Woman who loves me for me, and becomes my True Sweetheart". His belief in star signs may explain why he holds such a high significance to his [[birthday]].

Chris places significance on his [[Amnyfest Ring|birthstone]], which he calls "[[Speech impediment|amnyfest]]". He believes the class ring with the stone is what gives him power, and even pointed it out to [[Emily]] on their date. More recently, he has attached an amethyst quartz crystal to his [[medallion]].

{{quote|I do not even know of the symptoms, because, again, if I literally overthought about it, I would be at greater risk of infecting myself from reading and repeating the list in my mind. It’s Neurotypical and idiotic for anyone to do that and overthink it.|Chris rationalizes staying ignorant of the viral disease [[COVID-19‎‎]].<ref name=viral>[[March 2020 social media posts#Chris finally weighs in on the coronavirus pandemic]]</ref>}}

Chris seems completely unaware of what current technology is and is not capable of. In his [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu Sonichu article] on the [[CWCipedia]], he suggests that Nintendo pour their resources into developing a Poké Ball peripheral that would have slots for every generation of Pokémon games, including a slot for the GameCube memory card. He expects users of this peripheral to be able to read party data from the inserted game/memory card, display a holographic image of the Pokémon in play, and challenge people in real life who own the same peripheral (in a manner much like on ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''). In addition, Chris has no idea how everyday machines such as [[Son-Chu|cars]] work, evidenced in how [[September 2014|he claimed]] that a 1997 Cadillac with a cracked engine block was a great "fixer upper." Normally, any serious physical damage to a car's engine can only be repaired by a very skilled mechanic, or cannot be repaired at all and one must buy a new engine (both of which are not cheap, but [[Chris and money|that's an entirely different problem]]).

Chris has also been shown to lack knowledge in basic pathology. When he contracted a cold in December 2019, he had misattributed it to the large-scale [[Chris and anger|triggering]] he got from a number of people on his Twitter.

===Social rules===
{{main|Dating education}}
Chris also obsesses over popular "rules" about relationships. He's held onto the idea that sex should be given on the [[third date]], as well as other [[How to Talk to Girls|overly generic]] dating advice.

===Conspiracy theories===
{{main|Conspiracy theories}}

{{quote|I bet, even Greene County had something to do with influencing that goddamn Michael Snyder [...] to make him pretend to have a reason to kick me out|Chris blaming his school board for a decision made by a game store manager.<ref>[[Greene County Conspiracy]]</ref>}}

Chris and his parents have come up with several conspiracy theories to explain away his life problems. Notable examples are of Chris [[Greene County Conspiracy|blaming his elementary school]] for keeping him in his autistic shell, his parents' notion that [[Michael Snyder]] and [[Megan Schroeder]] were masterminds behind the [[trolls]], and Chris's belief that Snyder caused his own injuries when Chris and his mother [[28 October 2011|hit him with their car]].

===Estimation===
{{Main|Mathematics}}
{{Quote|A [[Son-Chu|CAR]] WEIGHS A LOT MORE THAN 10 TONS|Chris, being unaware that most cars weigh two or three tons.<ref>[[Mailbag 9]]</ref>}}
Chris has a tendency to hugely exaggerate estimates of [[Duck|length]], [[White knight E-mails|weight]], and [[I AM STRONG|strength]] in his favor, as evidenced in his description of a [[11042009 51 50|12-pack of canned lemonade as being fifty pounds (22.7 kg)]]. This behavior is symptomatic of {{w|dyscalculia}}, a common symptom of autism, which leaves the sufferer with poor comprehension of time, measurement, or spatial reasoning. However, Chris does not really display any other symptoms of it, suggesting this behavior isn't mere ignorance, but rather Chris telling childish lies to try to impress people with his physical strength.

===Lack of theory of mind===
Chris has no idea on how the billions of people on the planet think. He thinks that all men would happily wear [[Brassieres For Males|bras]] and skirts (It must be noted that Chris thought these ideas so that he and he alone would feel more comfortable [[Tomgirl Saga|crossdressing]]), and that every Sonic fan on the planet would support him in his [[Sonic Boom Protests]]. When somebody informs him that they have a differing opinion to him, he throws a tantrum and denounces that person as a [[troll]]. While autistic people have long been stereotyped as lacking theory of mind, research into the double empathy problem proves they don't necessarily lack it, though Chris definitely does – his actions speak for little, if any.

===Narcissistic tendencies===
{{main|Examples of Chris's Ego}}
Chris automatically assumes his lies will be believed, even if they contradict existing information. This is copiously evidenced in his constant [[List of Chris's lies|lies]] during the [[Father Call]], wherein Chris fibs incessantly about his [[Chris and health|health]] (among other things), frequently denying things or changing his story whenever he gets caught out. His habit of lying and lying about his lies is likely inherited from his mother, whom [[Cole Smithey E-mails|his brother described]] as a pathological liar. When asked by [[Evan]] to remove [[Simonla]] from his comics, Chris decided that he could have created her without the inspiration of Evan's character [[Simonchu]] and, thus, effectively had.<ref>[[Mailbag 44#I want to see Simonla die so very badly]]</ref> The fact that he [[Things Chris has ripped off|demonstrably could not have done this]] did not factor into his reasoning. Chris "[[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 3|corrected]]" Simonla's [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Simonla_Rosechu CWCipedia entry] with a "[[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 4|retraction]]" denying that Simonla had ever been inspired by Simonchu. Chris expected that this revised version of the truth would be happily accepted by all concerned parties.

Chris considers people with [[Asperger's syndrome]] to be "fakers" who are taking "the Shine and Limelight" away from genuine autistic people such as himself.<ref>[[Aspergers (CWCipedia article)]]</ref> Although Chris has admitted that this "fact" is only his "own idea," he still believes that to think otherwise is to [[Chris and religion|"conform to blasphem[y]."]]<ref>[[Autism Awareness E-mails]]</ref> As with many other things which antagonize him, Chris simply assumes Aspergers to be significant of a conspiracy targeting himself.

Unsurprisingly, Chris can come across as highly delusional when he expects to be taken seriously. For example, on 28 April 2012, he made an empty threat to the [[Kiwi Farms]] about hunting down each of its members; he claimed to know where each of them lives in an attempt to intimidate the trolls. Even if one were to gloss over the fact that he wouldn't even [[Shigeru Miyamoto|cough up $800 to travel to Redmond to see his dreams come true]] (and it should be noted that there are trolls all over America, and indeed the world), there's a high chance that there will only be one [[Kick the Autistic|outcome]] of Chris actively pursuing his trolls with the purpose of doing them harm. All things considered, Chris ended up making himself even more of a laughing stock in the process.

Like many of his worst flaws, this contributed to the biggest mess Chris had ever gotten himself into. In [[July 2021|July of 2021]], Chris felt a need to confide in someone that [[Affair with Mother|he was shagging his elderly mom]], after previously lying that he was with an anonymous older woman. For this, he chose [[Bella]], foolishly thinking he could trust her to keep the details secret, despite Chris confessing to the illegal act of incest, having been informed by [[Null]] she's an obvious troll ''and'' that he had suffered the consequences of [[Honest Content|oversharing personal information]] (multiple times) '''for years'''. Needless to say, [[Jail Saga|this caused a ruckus that ultimately led to Chris getting arrested]].

Babiso: Corrected line in transcript. "Do not do it" -> "Too much of it"

'''Apologies to the liked Bronies and Pegasisters; PLEASE UNBLOCK ME ON TWITTER!''' is a [[YouTube]] [[video]] uploaded by [[Chris]] on 28 [[January 2019]]. In it, Chris throws a huge temper tantrum over [[TF2 Analysis|being blocked]] by several [[Twitter]] users who were making fan content for [[My Little Pony]]. Simultaneously, he incoherently rants about the [[Idea Guys]], [[trolls]], and the [[Dimensional Merge]]. Chris also insists that he has yet another avatar in addition to his CPU form, being the RED Spy from ''[[TF2 Analysis|Team Fortress 2]]''. The video was eventually deleted by Chris on 8 February, along with [[Address to and for the Brony Analysts and Artists|the succeeding video]].

@CWCSonichu 
This is my Main Twitter Handle that I use and communicate from; I am Not One to be Hated; I am Not Harassing Anyone. Freaking CyberBullies!!!!!!! Real Bugbears, they are!

===Transcript===

(0:00)

Hello everybody is this Christine Chandler coming to your live from home, and, just addressing, you know who you are, the, my fellow Bronies and Pegasisters who blocked me on Twitter. Uh, just so many details I mean, the obvious big thing, among which is the bad outdated reputation I had that's, like, 12 years old nearly, seriously, [[2007]] and those trolls hate on me since then. And they, they're the ones that put mine- they made me do all that, they deceived me, blackmailing all that, I would never have done any of those things, I am very shameful of, today if they had not gotten involved. I, I'm just as trolled and bullied as some t- most of y'all, I'm serious about that. I mean, I know uh, and I don't want to doxx anybody accidentally, uh, I know one gets hate so- hate so much, just totally, out, and that's how I'm feeling. Too much of it! She's been on the Youtube since [[2012]], I've been online since 2007 I can teach her how to, be like Stonewall Jackson to every single troll and bully except for more recently when everybody started blocking me and it became more more more more and the rejection just killed this mind in my body, so much of my soul does not want to return home from C-197 where all of our OCs actually do exist, coexist, and everything. Hnghhhhhhhh, harassment, I do not harass anyone! The only things I do on Twitter are kindness and supportive type commentary you look at my history on my one, main, Twitter account, you would have seen, you know, before all this chaos you would have seen nothing but positives and look at the last few comments left y'all before you started blocking me; positives!

(2:43)

And, among which those haters and harasses they just, uh, they used, outdated and I'm not- partially counting the stuff that was deceived out of me last year during those six months by freaking Idea Guy, and Stephen Boyd. They conned $6,000 out of me! You think I'm not upset about that either? I'm upset about that, I'm upset about all the rejection I'm getting from the people I like, I'm a fan of each and every one of you, I'm serious. I like your art style, I like the way you do in your shows and everything. Uh. I'm very serious about that I'm sorry for offending each and every one of you but I ask this is, I gotta get my mental sanity back so please unblock me, please unblock me! I'm very very sorry for everything, for offending each and every one of you, super, serious! Hgnhhh! All those damn trolls and damn haters and harassers, I just- They've been ruining my life since 2007! 2007! Hgnh...

(4:04)

And I seriously have met each and every one of your OCs by the way, in Equestria, in this secret rift, and there is a Coal Town in Equestria, that same Coal Town, and my Magi-Chan did set it up, my husband Magi-Chan Sonichu, talk to the actual Doctor Wolf and Firebrand and, I'm the Red Spy, I have been the Red Spy since at least last November at the earliest, or earlier than that, I forget exactly when. And I'm sure when y'all were coming up with your scripts for, this new, this new part of TF2, you must have seen the writers and Imagineers, creators, possibly Doctor Wolf, and, Firebrands, human counterparts here, saw a very bluuuuue character, in the red outfit, two legs- standing on two legs not four, going very fast, I mean, look at me in my Sonichu form., very blue. So, and that's another thing, that makes, that's making the merge between our dimensions C-197 there and here, dimension 1218, because everybody- because so many people in this world are distancing themselves too much from their own OCs and I know that I'm also- I'm also addressing a bunch of you who are still very well connected to your own OCs and that's very good, but still. We're being misrepresented in the media as well, so, we're very upset about that, reboots do not help and just...

(6:05)

Everyone messes this up in our dimension! And even some of you find that very hard to swallow and yet, the one who really found it hardest to swallow, he's been breaking the fourth wall a whole lot. Sufferin' succotash. Uh, anyway, main point check whoever's been, harassing you pretending it, because they're actually pretending, it's me or being themselves just, bring out outdated crap about me. Pretty misguided fear and hate, and I'm actually him, and I've proven myself to be, and I'm still working myself to be a very good, honest, decent, person. Alright? I mean you don't misjudge a woman who got seriously drunk at 21, accidentally did porn the field but then 10 years later you judge her based on what she did 10 years ago, this shit's been over a decade old 2007! I've been trolled since then! I'm still getting freaking bullying and everything. Uhhhh. Anyway straight from the heart and soul, unscripted, this video is, so please, for everything, for stopping to hate, for stopping the harassment, for bringing my mental sanity back, please don't block me on Twitter. Unblock me, that's all I'm asking. We don't have to be friends but, I don't I d- just- I do not like to be hated and I am NOT one that's worthy of hatred. Oh yeah I'm followed by all these freaking people who it's a freaking fetish to them, to harass and hate everybody. Hrngg. I know y'all agree with me too on that. Anyway, I feel like I'm gonna- I feel like I could faint at the moment, so again I'm sorry for offending y'all in any way, and the reputation's outdated and, they follow me and I seriously, have no intentions of harming them, but I never did I mean to be supportive and positive. Those damn trolls just trying to mislabel me has so much negative it's just, ugh... very serious, look at me, look at me, look how serious I am, with all this chaos that's been going on the past week plus everybody's been blocking me.
