{{see also|Chris in the media (podcasts and vlogs)}}

[[Chris]] and ''[[Sonichu_(comic)|Sonichu]]'' have occasionally made it to the attention of the '''media''' spotlight, in [[Chris and television|television]], newspapers, magazines, [[Chris in the media (podcasts and vlogs)|podcasts]] and [[Chris and the Internet|the Internet]].

Chris's legendary status as the first mainstream lolcow also catches the attention of many Internet commentators and entertainers, who would often include him and his creations from as a tongue-in-cheek cameo to a major multi-part documentary.

==Traditional media==
===''Richmond Times-Dispatch''===
{{main|It took a talking bear to give the name a young boy loves}}

In 1993, the ''{{w|Richmond Times-Dispatch|Richmond Times-Dispatch}}'' newspaper ran an article detailing how Chris changed his name from "Christopher" to "Christian". This was Chris's first known appearance in media.

===Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes===
{{main|Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes}}

Chris's second appearance in the media was a news report in [[1994]] chronicling Chris's first victory, winning a contest celebrating one of the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] cartoons.

===Chris Chan in the PokéNews===
{{main|Chris Chan in the PokéNews}}

In [[1999]], Chris made his third appearance in a news report on the growing success of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. He was 17 years old at the time, and he was playing [[Pokémon]] cards with [[Pedofork|kids as young as 8]].

===''Nintendo Power'' Magazine===
{{main|Nintendo Power Magazine}}

Twice, Chris has used the magazine ''Nintendo Power'' to get himself attention. First was a letter Chris wrote telling Nintendo how he used a [[Sprung|video game]] to cure his [[Noviophobia|fear of talking to girls]]. The second time detailed Chris's ''Animal Crossing'' video, though there he was known as [[Sonichu]], not Chris.

===[[Shojo Beat]]===
{{main|Shojo Beat}}

Chris sent a letter to an [[anime]]-themed magazine that got published in its November [[2005]] issue. In it, he complains about [[JERKS]] taking away all the pretty [[boyfriend-free girl]]s and leaving him to be a [[Virgin With Rage|lonesome virgin]]. A response was published in the March [[2006]] issue, in which the writer instructs Chris on the error of his ways.

===''Daily Progress''===

====2007====
[[Image:CWCinDailyProgressJuly142007.jpg|thumb|Admit it, if you've never heard of Chris before, would you think that they were actually referring to a 25-year-old man here?]]

On 14 [[July 2007]], Chris and Barb were mentioned in their local newspaper, the ''Charlottesville Daily Progress''.<ref>http://www.dailyprogress.com/news/rummage-sale-goes-all-year/article_8364fd1b-b1cf-5902-91f9-d05a19a0453d.html ([https://archive.ph/R3RqE0 archive])</ref>

{{quotebox|The line began forming outside the door around 2 p.m., three hours before the SPCA's new rummage shop in Charlottesville opened for a special sneak preview Friday.

By 4:45, nearly 50 people were waiting in line, while about 30 volunteers inside put the finishing touches in place.

"I've got my eye on the riding mower right there," said Barry Ross as he stood at the head of the line, looking through the window at a red tractor.

And right behind Ross, Christian and Barbara Chandler were waiting to shop. Christian wanted toys and video games, while his mother wanted to look for fabric.}}

====2017====

[[File:Dailyprogress print cville pride cwc.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Chris in his [[unicorn cosplay]].]]

A decade later, on 16 [[September 2017]], Chris was photographed by ''Daily Progress'' staff at a [[Cville Pride]] event.<ref>http://www.dailyprogress.com/gallery/cville-pride-festival/collection_58055de6-9b2a-11e7-b098-83d0250a47fb.html#tncms-source=endcard-gallery ([https://archive.ph/uvQ2G archive])</ref>

==== 2021 ====
Chris would make the pages of the ''Daily Progress'' yet again on 2 [[August 2021]], this time in connection with his arrest for incest.<ref>https://dailyprogress.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/greene-county-woman-charged-with-incest/article_fbee4158-f3db-11eb-9ebc-bf432f1c0e8f.html ([https://archive.ph/pRiFq archive])</ref>

===Toucher and Rich===
{{main|Toucher and Rich Segment}}

On 12 [[May 2009]] Chris's antics became so famous that it sparked the interest of a radio podcast in {{w|Boston|Boston}}. The whole media furor was sparked by the "[[I Got A Fish]]" video. However, most of the show covered Chris's videos addressed to [[Ivy]].<ref>[http://www.wbcn.com/topic/play_window.php?audioType=Episode&audioId=3705145]</ref>

===Kevin and Bean===
{{main|The Kevin and Bean Show Segment}}

One of Chris's [[Captain's Log]]s is dissected by the hosts {{w|Kevin and Bean|Kevin and Bean}}. Notably, the [[Captain's Log, Stardate April 28th, 2009|video in question]] required ''a full two minutes'' dedicated to disclaimers, as well as censoring of [[Semen#Recycling|certain]] [[Honest Content|unairable]] [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|acts]].

===''Web Soup''===
{{main|For G4s Web Soup}}

Once again, Chris's "[[I Got A Fish]]" video was briefly featured, this time on {{w|G4 (TV channel)|G4}}'s ''{{w|Web Soup|Web Soup}}'' on 2 [[July 2009]]. While the segment lasted less than 30 seconds, Chris initially felt honored and used the opportunity to try to score some [[china]], only to belatedly realize after he uploaded an entire video about it that shows like ''Web Soup'' are devoted to mocking people like him.

===Save McIntire Park===
{{main|McIntire Park}}

In [[July 2009]], Chris briefly appears in the background of a news segment about saving McIntire Park, [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]]. Later, Chris receives recognition at a council meeting for drawing a large sign.

===''Slylock Fox''===
[[File:SonichuSlylockFox25Sep2011.JPG|thumb|115px|If you didn't know who Chris was, would you think anything of this?]]

On 25 September 2011, ''{{w|Slylock Fox & Comics for Kids|Slylock Fox & Comics for Kids}}'', a comic strip about comic strips published by King Features Syndicate, featured a black-and-white image<ref>[http://content.comicskingdom.net/Slylock/Slylock.20110925.gif]</ref> of [[Sonichu]] in the "Your Drawing" panel. The illustration, which ran in thousands of papers nationwide, was accompanied by text, which read: "Today's terrific artist is Christian Weston Chandler, Age 9." The strip's author, Bob Weber Jr., admitted on the Comics Curmudgeon blog<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20130508181808/http://joshreads.com/?p=10951]</ref> that he fully believed that the "artist" was 9 (rather than 29) when he selected the drawing out of the dozens that are submitted to the strip every week.

===Opie & Anthony===
{{main|Opie and Anthony}}

On 27 [[May 2009]], ''{{w|Opie and Anthony|The Opie & Anthony Show}}'' on {{w|Sirius XM Radio}}, which was broadcast to 18.5 million units, [[Opie and Anthony|did a commentary segment]] on Chris's video response to drinking his own [[cum]] and shitting his adult diapers. It is unknown whether he's realized that his [[autistic]] antics have technically been broadcast to low earth orbit.

===''Houston Press''===
On 12 [[July 2012]], the ''{{w|Houston Press}}'' published an article on Rex Nabours III of defunct folk punk band Guwange and his attempts to raise money for sick children. Nabours was quoted in the article saying "I did a Christian Weston Chandler (the ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' guy) [[Trollsta's Paradise: A True and Honest Tribute to Christian & The Hedgehog Boys|covers album]] earlier this year with the intent of giving any money I made off of it to Autism-related charities because the dude is basically [[Song for Jackie.MOV|blackface]] for autism".<ref>http://blogs.houstonpress.com/artattack/2012/07/rex_nabours_extra_life.php</ref>

===''Failosophy'' ===
[[File:TG20.jpg|thumb|Featured pic]]

MTV's show ''{{w|Failosophy}}'' mocked Internet idiots like Chris. While the show lasted a mere 3 months due to negative reception, one of his [[Tomgirl]] pics memorably and unsurprisingly showed up in the 4th episode of the show, viewed by almost a million people. Jump to 1:22 for his appearance.

{{Infobox/video
|name= Chris-Chan on MTV's Failosophy
|video= {{#ev:archiveorg|ChrisChanOnMTVsFailosophy}}
}}

Chris, unusually, gave a response via [[Facebook]].

{{quotebox| I had no ill will against MTV. I enjoyed the women in "{{w|Undressed}}"; I like [[Beavis and Butt-head|Daria]]; the [[Dating education|dating game show]] was fun to watch, and to put them way at the bottom, [[Beavis and Butt-head|Beavis and Butt-Head]] were [[Christian Weston Chandler|so stupid, it became crazy-funny]].

I have been the victim of Trolling/Cyber-Bullying for the past greater than five years. I get that whatever gets onto the [[Chris and the Internet|internet]] is near impossible to remove.

And now I find that among the shit I was trolled of, this ONE photograph, which was originally taken for a WOMAN years ago, gets compared with a literal meat-head and a plush-head, and is made available on iTunes for two dollars!

From the one woman's words, Jamie Lee... I don't know what is worse, that she would not date me, or that she would put me in jail over a freaking couch. Lee, My Once Good Name was actually Jailed, because of the SET UPS those Anonymous, LULZy, Shit-Faced TROLLS. [[Chris and reality|At least I was more clean, sexy and gung-ho than either of the ugly, grimy freak shows I was compared with.]]

If I did not have a very good day beforehand today, I would seriously be [[Chris and the Law|calling my Attorney]] on your damn show's ass.|[[Christian Weston Chandler]], after 950,000 people saw him on ''Failosophy''.}}

He provided more thoughts on the scene in [[LoveYouLongTime E-mails, 2013-2014]]:

{{quotebox|On the flipside and current topic, I had just learned last night from a random check on the Troll forum about "Failosophy" and their highlighting a photo of myself that was Trolled from me by Jacklyn the years ago.

<nowiki>*Spoiler Alert*</nowiki>. Jamie Lee would not date me, and she would jail me over the "ugly couch". The episode is online at MTV.com, and it is available for sale in SD and HD on iTunes. I am feeling really pissed off about this. I have alerted Rob Bell about it, and pray that Suing MTV or the "Failosophy" cast is a doable option. Nobody asked for my permission or made me sign a waiver.

I am feeling in between the good of my day yesterday, and the bad of Failosophy, so I am off and on on feeling good and bad right now.}}

Chris reached out to the show's host, Hasan Minhaj, to complain. Minhaj responded, saying that he had been told all the people whose photos were featured on the show had provided consent and apologized if that was not the case for Chris:

{{quotebox| Yes, I agree the photo is definitely one of my better ones, among all of the rest similarly nude pics and videos. :( The White [[MALE]] was the one who used the word "marriage". UGH! And worse, the woman would not only Not Date me, but have me thrown in jail over a couch that my [[Minor Family Members#Aunt Harriet and Uncle Tom|Aunt Harriet]] gave to me years ago. And not only is it a couch, but it is also a fold-out bed.

I have not yet heard a reply from Rob, but I will call him later today, and let him know about the emails, since there is the chance he was too busy to check.

And there is a small, possible light towards a resolution. I have found contact with the host of "Failosophy", Hasan Minhaj, on facebook, from the "Failosophy" page's about section. http://ww.facebook.com/pages/Hasan-Minhaj/41284651271 I have contacted Hasan with the following:

Hello. I was just made aware of your show on MTV, "Failosophy", when I had heard that a photograph, that I had taken myself, for a woman, fell into the possession of Internet Trolls/Cyber-Bullies, was featured and mocked on your show in the fourth episode alongside two old men with bacon and plushies. I have already been trolled and bullied for over five difficult years. What you are doing on your show is Promoting Trolling, and Trolling is Bullying. Not a lot of people take kindly to Bullying, and I do not take kindly to Trolling.

Tell your crew and crap-filled producers that for Promoting Trolling, you all will Pay unto everyone you have further emotionally damaged and embarrassed on television.

I am not a fan of "Failosophy", and I despise your kind of people continuing to Troll for the LULZ.

Sincerely,

Christian Weston Chandler,

Ruckersville, VA, USA.

He swiftly replied:

Thank for being in touch. That wasn't my intention at all. I agree that trolling is just a digital form of bullying. I was told that all the photos on the show have been signed off as ok to be used on air from the original owners/people who took the photos. I'm only ok with doing these jokes as long as the people who took them are in on the joke as well. If that didn't happen with your photo I am truly very sorry. Please accept my apology because that wasn't my intention at all. If there's anything I can do please let me know.

Best,

Hasan

I then replied requesting his more direct contact info, offering my email address and iPhone number, and that I would think it over and consult with my people (Rob Bell). I sincerely think there is a chance of a legal lawsuit, with a settlement. But those details are being discussed between me and Rob at the moment. But according to Hassan's reply, the photos do need to be signed off as ok for airing, FROM the Original Owners/People who Took Them. I took the photo myself, and was not informed beforehand, so chances should be fair to good.

I just have to wait and see what Rob says.}}

To this day, Chris has not followed up on this threat of legal action. The episode with Chris in it also remains available on iTunes.

===''OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes'' ===
[[File:OkKOstoryboard.jpg|thumb|The original storyboard initially made the reference more blatant]]
In the pilot episode "Lakewood Plaza Turbo", Carol tells her son K.O. to defend the plaza "to the extreme", a direct reference to the cover of [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]]. This was confirmed by the show's creator, Ian Jones-Quartey, who shared the original storyboard, where it was "even more blatant". K.O. was originally meant to finish the quote, saying "I will! Thank you mother!" It should also be noted that the person who discovered the reference, Parker Simmons, is also the creator of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart.<ref>https://twitter.com/ianjq/status/981619296408190976 ([https://archive.ph/b4hlr archive])</ref>

===WCAV-TV===
{{main|2014 house fire}}
A local TV broadcast gave a brief report on the [[2014 house fire|fire at Chris's house]] that occurred in the early morning hours of 10 [[January 2014]].

===''New York'' Magazine===
On 19 [[July 2016]], {{w|New York (magazine)|''New York'' magazine}} featured an article on its website, [http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/07/kiwi-farms-the-webs-biggest-community-of-stalkers.html "Kiwi Farms, the Web's Biggest Community of Stalkers"]. The article was meant as an attack on [[CWCki Forums|Kiwi Farms]], inaccurately describing it as a vague group across [[4chan|mult]][[/cwc/|iple]] [[Encyclopedia Dramatica|web]][[Twitter|sites]] instead a single forum community. However, in describing the site's origins and operations, it largely focuses on Chris himself and the "torment" he faced from [[trolls]] during his internet heyday. There is also a mention of [[A-Log]] and his fallout with other Christorians.

The article is notably one of the few pieces of [[White knight|positive press]] Chris has received since his rise to internet fame. In addition to attacking his trolls, the author, Margaret Pless, describes him in sympathetic terms such as "[[Chris and art|artist]], [[Video games|gamer]], and [[Sonichu (comic)|creative type]]" and fails to mention [[Chris and anger|his]] [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|horrific]] [[Chris and race|opinions]], [[Death threats|statements]], [[28 October 2011|or]] [[26 December 2014|actions]]. Pless is also under the impression that Chris is legitimately [[Tomgirl|transgender]], and accordingly refers to him as "Christine" and with female pronouns.

===''Sonic Boom''===
[[File:Mark tapir.jpeg|thumb|250px|Chris finally meets his hero.]]
On 10 [[December 2016]], an episode of ''[[Sonic Boom Protests|Sonic Boom]]'' called "The Biggest Fan" premiered on Cartoon Network. The episode features a character named Mark the Tapir that parodies the ''Sonic'' fanbase. Mark is depicted in the episode as a creepy, obsessive stalker who kidnaps Sonic and forces him to act out fanfiction that he wrote. While the character is likely intended as a general parody, he has many similarities to Chris in particular. He closely resembles pre-tomgirl Chris, and one scene seems to reference the "blue arms" debacle. Mark even orders an [[April 16 Fetish Vids|orange soda]] during one scene, though this is probably an unintentional reference.

Chris [[December 2016 Facebook posts#Sonic Boom parody|acknowledged]] the parody on December 13, 2016. He stated that he saw no resemblance between himself and the Mark character, and that he is "[[Chris and reality|not mental or crazy like that at all]]."

The episode's writers, Doug Liebilch and Bill Freiberger, responded to questions on Twitter about the episode. Liebilch said that [https://web.archive.org/web/20161217205012/https://twitter.com/DougLieblich/status/808080337859293184 "He's not based on anyone specific. Just an obsessive fan character."] Freiberger also denied that Mark was based on Chris, and unlike Liebilch, he knows who Chris is, stating "Mark is 100% NOT based on CWC. He is a general fan type. We've done many blue arm jokes in the series. Not a clue."<ref>https://twitter.com/BillFreiberger/status/809087510156410880 ([https://archive.is/mc1Hf archive])</ref>

===UVA Remembers Pulse===

{{main|UVA Remembers Pulse}}

On 12 [[June 2017]] Chris was interviewed at this event, quoted on text and video, by the same station which had interviewed him decades earlier for the [[Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes]].

Sonichu makes a cameo in dodie's music video for "Monster", around the 45-second mark. He appears on a poster as one of the many monsters looking for love. The text on the poster (though partially covered by others) appears to say that he is "Looking for a [[Boyfriend-free girl|boyfriend-free monster]]", indicating some familiarity with Chris's antics.

{{Infobox/video

In the behind the scenes video, hosted by the music video's director, we are given a clearer picture of the poster at the 11:50 mark. The cameo, who was named "Mayor CWC", was claimed by the director to be included out of peer pressure.

<poem>I've got no damn plans

I'll never be a man

I need a helping hand
My life never began
Cause I'm just like Chris-chan

I'm smelly overweight

In the ''[[Wikipedia:Paradise PD|Paradise PD]]'' episode "Top Cops" (12 [[March 2021]]), an image of Sonichu's head can be seen on the back of a fake [[Pokémon]] card. This was confirmed in a [[Affair with Mother|now deleted tweet]] by animator Perry Hull, who added it as an Easter egg after learning about Chris by watching ''[[Chris-Chan: A Comprehensive History]]''. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210618184814/https://twitter.com/perryhull/status/1370884184361828356</ref>

The many songs include "Holding up to Dark", a song told from the perspective of [[Megan Schroeder]]; "Feed Us, Freak Boy", told from the perspective of the [[trolls]]; "Echoes Shaped Like You", a song about [[Bob]]'s death; "It Was All a Dream", a song about [[Thetan|Chris realising his high-school gal-pals were fake all along]]. The final 5 songs are all about Chris's [[Affair With Mother|affair with Barb]].

==="Weird Al" Yankovic===

It is currently unknown if Al approved or sanctioned this easter egg

==Collaborations==
Chris has occasionally collaborated with media creators.
===Scribbler Productions===
In [[June 2018]], the [[brony]] music collaboration [['You Will Be Found' - GIANT 100+ BRONY GROUP COLLAB]] was released on the YouTube channel Scribbler Productions. Chris participated in the chorus.

===3GI===
{{main|Shrek Retold|Sonic Rebuilt}}
On 15 November 2018, a Youtuber by the name of 3GI released a trailer for ''Shrek Retold'', a feature-length collaboration of the first Shrek movie. It featured over 200 contributors, each with their own style. One of them is none other than Chris himself. The collab was released on 29 November 2018. Chris's work is in the 0:55 mark.

===Smiling Friends===
{{main|Smiling Friends}}
In an interview with ''[[The Create Unknown]]'' podcast, Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack, showrunners of [[Adult Swim]] cartoon ''Smiling Friends'', revealed that they had planned for Chris to be offered a voice cameo in an episode of the show. Chris was to voice the grease puddle in a brief one-off role in the episode "Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty?". However, contractual issues at the studio - which would have forced them to cast him in multiple episodes - cancelled their plans to offer Chris the role.<ref>https://youtu.be/t9SS8hMOF4k?t=2065</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06R7mspyoRw</ref>

===Something Awful===
{{w|Something Awful}} is a comedy website where Chris was first revealed to the world.

On 26 October [[2007]], a user on the website (otherwise known as a "goon"), Vikivil, made this post on a thread about fellow lolcow Ulillillia:
{{Quoteboxgreen|There really must be something about Sonic.

This guy used to leave '[[business card]]s' at [[University of Virginia|my school's library]] where he would hang out for hours looking for a '[[boyfriend-free girl]].' This is how I first learned of him. From here, I developed something of an obsession, culminating last summer when I made a special trip to a [[The GAMe PLACe|gaming store and local hangout]] where he had posted he would be. He was every bit as aspergic as I had imagined.

I present to you...Sonichu.

The [[Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown#Chris's Version: "Master Onion A-La Mode"|video]] on that page. Priceless.}}

The topic of that thread shifted to Chris and his antics, and provided so much discussion that a [https://web.archive.org/web/20071030052808/http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2667671 new thread] devoted to him was created on the following day, mainly to bring the Ulilia thread back on-topic. Discussion of Chris spread to [[4-cent_garbage.com|other]] [[Encyclopedia Dramatica|websites]], and the rest is history.

===SpliceToday.com===
An article<ref>[http://www.splicetoday.com/digital/come-back-christian-weston-chandler]</ref> posted on 6 January 2011 on this multimedia blog decried Chris's latest exile from the Internet. It sums up Chris's history and behavior while sharing a personal account of the author taking steps to improve his life in order to distance himself from the similarities he saw between Chris and himself.

===Sega Acknowledges Sonichu===
On 13 [[January 2012]], Sonichu was briefly mentioned during a "Free Stuff Friday" video on Sega of America's YouTube channel.

{{quotebox|'''Male Employee''': [''while pulling out a Super [[Sonic]] plush''] Um, this one's on its own? 
'''Female Employee''': Sonichu?

While this is not [[TRUE and HONEST]] Sonichu [[Jimmy Hill|merchandise]], it does show at least some Sega employees are aware of Sonichu's existence. Jump to 3:50 in the linked video.

[[File:CWccracked.jpg|thumb|200px|#22 on Insane Subcultures.]]
Chris showed up on {{w|Cracked.com|Cracked}}'s front page as #22 on 9 [[April 2014]] as part of "25 Insane Subcultures You Won't Believe Actually Exist".<ref>[http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_859_25-insane-subcultures-you-wont-believe-actually-exist/]</ref>

Chris would later be indirectly referenced again on 6 [[August 2018]] as #2 of "24 Times Fans Completely And Utterly Lost Their Minds" for his [[Sonic Boom Protests]], which led to the event that happened on [[26 December 2014]].<ref>[http://www.cracked.com/pictofacts-1019-24-times-fans-completely-utterly-lost-their-minds/]</ref>

===Smosh===
Chris's Sonic Totem statue was featured on Smosh's site, via the 'Smosh Pit' section which mostly contains articles, countdowns, and memes. It was listed in the [http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit/photos/people-who-tried-crafts-pinterest-and-totally-nailed-it?_rtu=TFS6IVnISRKfI2Vc%2BgJJHA%2B '22 People Who Tried Crafts On Pinterest and TOTALLY NAILED IT'] article.

===IMDb===
Chris has his own IMDb entry page. To date he only has two credits, both in the "archive footage" category; the aforementioned ''=3'' video, and the later WTFIWWY segment.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4813395/ IMDb page]</ref>

===Wii U Daily===
The website Wii U Daily (now known as Nintendo Today) has an article on the [[GameStop]] incident that occurred on [[26 December 2014]].<ref>[http://wiiudaily.com/2014/12/man-maces-gamestop-employee-over-sonic-boom/ Man maces GameStop employee over Sonic Boom | Wii U]</ref> Chris eventually found the article, then proceeded to go on a long rambling on Facebook on why the writer should respect him and his terrible ways--even going as far to call the writer a horrible male, despite the writer being ''fe''male.

===Reddit===
{{main|Reddit}}
There is an entire subreddit on the popular website Reddit entitled "r/chrischansonichu", which is predictably all about Chris and his shenanigans. However, it's marked as NSFW, making it difficult to find.

On 23 [[September 2014]], the subreddit r/shittykickstarters linked to Chris's [[Kickstarter]] project for getting Legos.

On 1 [[January 2015]], the Wii U Daily article about the 26 December 2014 incident was linked to another subreddit, r/rage.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/rage/comments/2r0kyh/man_maces_gamestop_employee_over_sonic_boom/ Man maces employee over Sonic Boom: rage]</ref>

===''Sonic the Hedgehog'' Twitter===
On June 10, 2015, a fan asked the official [[Twitter]] account of [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] (which has been verified and everything) if [[Sonichu]] will be playable in ''[[Sonic Boom]]: Fire & Ice''.<ref>https://archive.is/eWfjQ</ref> Their response?

{{quote|Maybe, but only if we give Sonichu blue arms, three scarves, and ultimately just redesign him as Big the Cat.}}

Two later posts also made minor mentions of Sonichu. The first was on March 9, 2016, in which [[Dr. Eggman]] attempts to cancel getting "Big the Cat facts" on his phone by texting his favorite Sonic character, but is told that his favorite Sonic character is Sonichu.<ref>https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/707622466391117824</ref> The second was April 29, 2016, where "Sonichu" is one possible name on a "What's Your Sonic Name" chart making fun of the "original characters" in the Sonic fandom.<ref>https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/726090715885756416</ref>

===The Jimquisition===
In his review of ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2 3D'' for the 3DS, Jim Sterling gives a list of reasons why the original ''Sonic 2'' was an all-time classic. In this list, Jim mentions that the game is "a great way to meet [[boyfriend-free girl]]s," and also makes reference to the blue arms controversy.<ref>[http://www.thejimquisition.com/sonic-the-hedgehog-2-3d-review/]</ref>

German-American ranter Zip Zap made a slight nod to Chris Chan when comparing a pedophile named Manglenn to him, even adding [[I Recycle My Own Semen|"at least [Manglenn] doesn't recycle his own semen... not from what we know"]].

===Milo Yiannopoulos===
On 20 January 2017, former editor of Breitbart News Milo Yiannopoulos spoke at the University of Washington. The event, called ''Cyberbullying Isn't Real'', contained a segment where Milo comments on how George H. W. Bush, a World War II torpedo bomber pilot and the head of the CIA, was considered a wimp when he ran for president.<ref>Yiannopoulos mistakenly refers to Bush as a fighter pilot in his speech. George H. W. Bush flew a {{w|Grumman TBF Avenger}} torpedo bomber.</ref> Milo then poses the question:

We know, don't we, what the first social justice president will look like.|Milo Yiannopoulos, exhibiting a photo of Chris}}

A picture of Chris is then featured on the screen to illustrate Milo's point. Although there were no specific allusions to Chris, Milo gives an eerily accurate description of Chris's internet infamy, seemingly derived '''solely''' from the photo itself. Jump to 1:13:20 in the link.

In the Kotaku article [http://kotaku.com/what-people-miss-when-they-use-autistic-as-an-insult-1794491453 ''What People Miss When They Use 'Autistic' As An Insult''], writer Cecilia D'Anastasio points to Chris and ''Sonichu'', along with the actions of [[trolls]] on [[4chan]] and [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], as part of the reason "[[autism]] came to be associated with impassioned gamers." The article seemed sympathetic to Chris, though Cecilia acknowledged in a comment that many of his views are offensive and that she does not endorse them, but also claimed that "[Chris's] personal beliefs are not entirely relevant to my article’s main themes".

===IGN===
In a video by IGN, James Marsden, the actor playing Tom Wachowski in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (film)|Sonic movie]] is quizzed on his knowledge of Sonic trivia. One of the questions asked is if Sonichu is an unlockable character in [[Sonic Forces]]. Marsden guessed incorrectly.

McMillen also follows Chris' Twitter account and has stated during a follow-up livestream that his favorite saga was the Megan Saga and the creation of the first few issues of Sonichu. He later commissioned Chris to create artwork for the Binding of Isaac: Four Souls card game, but the commission was rescinded on 1 August 2021, in light of the [[Affair with Mother|incest]] allegations.<ref>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/isaacfoursouls/the-binding-of-isaac-4-souls-requiem/posts/3254814</ref>

==Incest charge==
On 1 August 2021, Chris was arrested and charged with engaging in incest with his [[mother]]. Multiple media outlets reported on it.

=== Daily Mail ===
The ''Daily Mail'' reported on Chris' incest charges on 3 August 2021.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9857365/Trans-YouTuber-Chris-Chan-faces-incest-charges-involving-79-year-old-dementia-suffering-mom.html</ref>

=== Dnes ===
Bulgarian tabloid ''Dnes'' reported on Chris' incest charges on 5 August 2021. The article refers to him with his former male name and uses masculine pronouns to refer to him throughout, also describing him as mentally ill.<ref>https://i.redd.it/a3h4gxt13uf71.jpg</ref>

=== Insider ===
The ''Insider'' reported on Chris' incest charges on 6 August 2021. Unlike other articles, the article seems well-educated and examines the history of Chris Chan back to 2007. Of note is that it includes the quote from Chris in 2016 saying he had dreams of fucking his mother.<ref>https://www.insider.com/chris-chan-saga-timeline-incest-charges-arrest-2021-8</ref>

=== CBS-19 ===
The local [[Wikipedia:WCAV|CBS-19]] of [[Charlottesville]] posted a news item covering the story, quoting a news release from the Greene County Sheriff. The article noted that Chris was charged with incest and held without bond and that additional charges were pending.<ref>https://www.cbs19news.com/story/44432363/suspect-arrested-in-sex-crimes-against-family-member-case</ref>

=== Newsweek ===
''Newsweek'' posted an article, "Chris Chan Arrested for Incest in Virginia", quoting the Henrico County Sheriff, who stated that they were merely holding Chris until he could be transferred to Greene County. The article appears to have been partially created by bots, given the odd syntax used in places.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/chris-chan-arrested-incest-virginia-1615220</ref>

=== Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight ===
On 7 August 2021, Chris's incest case was discussed by Fox News political commentator Tucker Carlson, who commented on the absurdity of Chris being sent to a female prison by the state of Virginia (the decision was later reversed, as Tucker notes). Tucker references Chris's incest charge and [[Barbara|his 79-year-old mother]]'s apparent dementia while images of a deranged-looking Chris from recent YouTube videos appear on the screen. The segment then goes on to talk about crimes of MtF transgender inmates in women's prisons. Carlson refers to Chris as "Chris ''Chan''" and simply "Chan", seemingly believing that "Chan" is his legal surname. He also calls Chris a "YouTube personality".

==Chris Jail Escape Hoax==
Following a [[4-cent_garbage.com|4chan]] post falsely claiming Chris escaped from prison going viral on 28 August 2022, several outlets, most notable The Daily Dot<ref>https://www.dailydot.com/debug/chris-chan-jail-escape-rumors-meme/</ref> and USA Today<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/09/16/fact-check-vlogger-charged-incest-still-custody-after-arrest/8037525001/</ref> would publish articles debunking the claim citing confirmations from [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]] and Chris's lawyer [[David Heilberg]], with the latter using the meme to justify the sealing of the case.

==Video Games==
===''McPixel''===
On 25 [[June 2012]], the indie game ''McPixel'' featured a homage to [[Chris humps his PS3|Chris' sexcapades with inanimate objects]] by having a special ending sequence depicting the titular character dry-humping a PS3 in the same stance Chris was.

In this 2012 point-and-click adventure game, players can interact with an NPC resembling and talking like Chris who wants to become a hippy to go on his "[[Love Quest]]". If asked on what his dream girl is, he gives out a description reminiscent of that from the [[Attraction Sign]].

===''Goat Simulator''===
[[File:Goat.jpg|thumb|300px|The goat unfortunately named Chris-Chan.]]
The "Goat MMO Simulator" DLC pack adds a simulated MMO mode that parodies games such as World of Warcraft. AI-controlled goats and a simulated chat simulate the presence of other players, and their names are drawn randomly from a list of pre-generated names. 'Chris-chan' is one of the names on this list.

===''OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo''===
[[File:CarolBioOKKO.jpeg|thumb|300px|]]
An iOS/Android beat-'em-up based on the pilot of the Cartoon Network Show, ''OK K.O.! Let's be Heroes'' introduces certain characters with a short biography screen (including a quote). The one for Carol (the player character's mother) has her saying "Go out and defend our Plaza – to the extreme!" (clearly echoing the cover to [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]] and the pilot episode).

Worth noting is that ''OK K.O.!'' is intended for general audiences.

===''Heartbeat''===
In the 2018 RPG ''Heartbeat'', a minor NPC character named "Crispy Boy", whose appearance and mannerisms are obviously based on Chris, can be interacted with in one of the game's locations.

''Pokémon Clover'' is a Pokémon romhack created by users of [[4Chan]]'s /vp/ board that pays homage to the various Internet cultures and memes, most notably 4Chan itself. The game references Chris multiple times. The Fakemon Mudslacks draws inspiration from Chris's [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS]] and Sonichu, with its shiny form even taking his color. Two NPC trainers also take inspiration from Chris with one of them being Chris himself, who can be fought in a cave near Lake [[Virgin]]. His battle [[CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero|theme is Holding Out For a Hero]].

[[Image:4-cent garbage.png|thumb|200px|INTERNET AUTISTIC HATE MACHINE]]
[[File:SchuComic8P11.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Star Wars|''"4-cent garbage. Never will you find a more wretched hive of lulz and trolling."'']]]]

'''4-cent_garbage''' is [[Chris]]'s idea of [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] and 4chan. Since he blames ED for [[Megan Schroeder|breaking up the closest thing to a relationship that he ever had]], he must demonize it in his comics.

In the comics, it is depicted as a business based in a large 72 floor office building in which several hundred [[Trolls|employees]] work. Apparently, the business runs both a website and a magazine, the contents of which are unclear. The website seems to be analogous to the real life ED, having several articles on existing people, or at least mentioning them<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_8/Page_30</ref> and a huge load of dickgirl images which are uploaded nearly constantly.

Jason's final speech in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], as well as Chris's ramblings in the Time Void, seem to indicate that any percieved inaccuracies in the articles or images hosted on the site are deliberate attempts to slander Chris and his Sonichus.<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_8/Page_31</ref> Why exactly Jason would wish to do this or [[Chris and his ego#Persecution complex|why he has chosen to target Chris]] is never addressed, but his presence at the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|PVCC]] meeting in [[Sonichu 7|Sonichu #7]] seem to suggest that the company and all of its employees are a part of [[Mary Lee Walsh]]'s secret trolling cabal.

It is worth noting that this is the closest Chris has ever made it to creating an actual [[parody]].

==Inspiration==

4chan is an internet forum with dozens of boards dedicated to both broad and niche topics, from [[anime]] to the [[Magical thinking|paranormal]], to [[Chris and art|art]] to [[Nudes|pornography]]. Well known as a platform full of trolls and homos, 4chan's place in Christory is short-lived but highly influential - and some of the first contact Chris ever had with trolls. In late 2007, members of the video games board took notice of Chris's comics and began creating satirical (largely pornographic) artwork based on ''Sonichu''. A collection of this art was sent to Chris by 4chan user Evan, provoking fury and the demand that Rosechu be drawn "masturbating and squirtin'", rather than with a massive penis. The email exchanges between Chris and Evan would peter out in the face of Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Encyclopedia Dramatica is a satirical [[Wikipedia]] with hundreds of articles on internet culture, personalities, and politics- all of which are written to be as offensive as possible. Just like 4chan, it is full of trolls and homos.

In [[2007]], while stoking his [[Chris and his ego|ego]], Chris discovered [[ED]]'s page satirizing him and [[Sonichu (comic)|his Sonichu comics]]. What really [[Family Guy|grinds his gears]] about the page was the "fan art" of [[Rosechu]] with a [[pickle|penis]]. Beginning 10 November 2007, Chris embarked on a quest to [[List of Chris's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica|make the website less scathing]] by uploading hideously drawn [[Rule 34]] of his little abominations (and [[Mary Lee Walsh|Slaweel Ryam]]), along with the infamous [[ShecameforCWC.JPG]] to his page.

Evan never mentioned that he was from 4chan, so Chris likely found out about the site through a message sent by a white-knight. An [[White knight e-mails#November 2007 .E2.80.94 ED alert|e-mail]] on 5 November 2007 attempted to alert him to the ED page, and referred to the article as being created and written by the same people making fun of Chris on 4chan's /v/ board. Whether he paid any attention to the message or not, what is known is that on [[List of Chris's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica#November 2007|12 November 2007]], Chris first acknowledged 4chan when he made another edit to the "Chris-chan" article:

{{quote|Christian Weston Chandler would like [[ED]] and 4chan to know the following: '''I will continue to Shove The True Facts From My Heart and Soul Down Your Throats, only until you take this WHOLE PAGE Down For Good.'''}}

From this, it can be reasonably assumed that Chris discovered 4chan and ED around the same time, and that he considered them to be essentially one and the same. Chris would continue his Sisyphean edit war against ED well into 2008, but ultimately, all he succeeded in doing was alienating [[Megan Schroeder]].

By [[2008#August|August 2008]], Chris was finishing [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], and he apparently felt the need to address these recent developments in the pages of his comic. Issue #7 opened with Megan as a supporting character in the story, but with the [[Megan Emails, 2008#Megan asks Chris to leave her alone again.2C attempts to talk sense into him|real Megan wanting nothing more to do with Chris]], he decided to write her out of the story. As for ED and 4chan, Chris would lump these two concepts together and dub them "4-cent_garbage_Magazine.com." The name is a slight mystery, because underscores (_) are not permitted in Internet domain names.

==Introduction: ''Sonichu'' #7==
''Sonichu'' #7 was the first issue of the series to be influenced by Chris's interactions with online [[trolls]]. While Chris didn't finish the comic until 20 August 2008, the events of the issue are all set in 2 November 2007, one day before the ED article was created. Just as past issues of ''Sonichu'' were very loosely based on Chris's real life, he must have wanted to acknowledge the conflict with ED/4chan and his estrangement from Megan in #7. But all of that happened ''after'' 2 November 2007.

Chris's solution was the [[Time Void]]; a poorly-defined realm where Chris's character would be trapped for the next two issues. While stranded in the Time Void, Chris would somehow experience events going on in his real life while the fictional events in the comics unfolded without him. Upon entering the Time Void, Chris found himself assaulted by "random...new memories...popping in...my head!" These were memories of things that happened after 2 November 2007, so Chris was essentially using the Time Void to "remember" the future. Along with fictional events like the [[Sonichu 9|Battle of CWCville]], Chris also experienced "memories" of [[Joshua Martinez]] setting him up with "[[Lori Lopez]]", and Megan "dumping" him via [[Megan_Emails, 2008#Megan is scarred by ShecameforCWC.JPG|e-mail]].

{{quote|Dumping me? But why?!! 4-cent_garbage_Magazine.com? Mocking me? Slanderous Filth?!!! A drawing of me and [[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|Meg-Chan]]... Intimate? And I drew that?!! She dumped me over that? Oh... that hurts! Still. Curse your 4-cent garbage!|Chris first mentions 4-cent_garbage in the Time Void, ''Sonichu'' #7}}

It became clear from this scene that once Chris escaped from the Time Void, he would do battle with 4-cent_Garbage as a proxy for ED and 4chan, just as he had battled [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] as proxies for those who interfered with his [[Love Quest]].

==Conflict with Sonichu and Rosechu: ''Sonichu'' #8==
[[Image:4-CENT-GARBAGE.jpg|thumb|Sonichu and his super cool pals in front of the 4-cent_garbage.com headquarters]]
In the first part of ''Sonichu'' #8, "Rage Against the Garbage", 4-cent_garbage was formally introduced as a villainous organization dedicated to slandering people for the sake of amusement. (Note Chris's inability to differentiate between {{w|Defamation#Slander|slander}} and {{w|Defamation#Libel|libel}}, the former of which requires spoken words or real-life gestures, impossible for a website or magazine to do.) Rosechu discovers the site on 3 November 2007, which just happens to be the date that [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] created the "Chris-chan" article on ED. The site's content includes a page that slanders Sonichu, Chris, and her, along with "lifelike" drawings of Rosechu with a [[pickle]]. While Sonichu is overcome with the [[stress]] of seeing his mate depicted with a penis, Rosechu decides to fight fire with fire by editing the site, just as Chris had tried in real life. She crawls into her [[April 16 Fetish Vids|dirty, mildew-laden bathroom]] and takes pictures of herself in the [[nudes|nude]], and then uploads them onto the 4-cent website. However 4-cent_garbage simply adds more dickgirl pictures, and she realizes that her plan will never work.

Instead, she travels with [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and [[Wild]] to 4-cent_garbage's headquarters in {{w|Clarksville, Tennessee}}, to confront the leader of the organization. While Wild sneaks into the building in search of one of the [[Sonichu Balls]], Sonichu and Rosechu take the elevator to the top floor, and meet [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] and his 17-year old "womanslave" [[Kathleen]], who had previously cameoed in issue #7. The meeting is civil at first, but when Jason refuses to take down the "Chris-chan" page, Sonichu tries to fight him, and loses. Rosechu fares better as [[The Incredible Lioness]], having [[Chris and the law|inflicted wounds that would have killed a normal man]] in fact, but the page remains up, and their mission is ultimately a failure.

==The Fall of 4-cent_garbage: ''Sonichu'' #10==
[[File:Jason's Hexbox.jpg|thumb|Jason plots against Chris with his [[HEXBox]].]]
Upon Chris's return from the Time Void on 9 [[August 2007]], he immediately coordinates an attack on the 4-cent_garbage HQ, ordering Sonichu, Wild, [[Black Sonichu]], [[Punchy Sonichu]], and [[Son-Chu]] to meet him in front of the building. Chris arrives first as [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], and Jason and [[Beel]] lay a trap for him and try to steal his [[medallion]]. However, Chris discovers that the TRUE AND HONEST source of his Anchuent powers is his [[high school ring]], which he uses to retrieve the Medallion and free himself.

Later, when Chris's allies arrive, he orders Son-Chu to transform into a sound stage for [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]]. Using the [[Gitar of Fail]], Chris then leads the band in a live performance of [[Revive Zordon]], and the intense power of their music begins to shake the building apart. Inside, Jason converts his throne into an escape pod, and flees with Kathleen, leaving the others behind. Jason declares that he is retiring from trolling, in order to settle down with Kathleen and live a normal life. Chris also takes the time to use Jason as a mouthpiece to condemn [[Clyde Cash]] and [[Jack Thaddeus]] for "slandering and torturing and innocent man", [[Hypocrisy|even though that was what Jason was supposedly doing not two issues ago]]. Beel meanwhile decides to take shelter in the basement, explaining that he could not be killed and would simply be reassigned to [[Count Graduon]] once the building was destroyed, and Clyde and Jack, alone on the top floor and with no way out, choose to commit suicide by leaping down the elevator shaft together just as the building collapses, refusing to let themselves be killed by Chris.

[[Twin Falling Towers|The building then gives way and collapses, with 1,500 people still alive inside.]]

[[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] reports that of the 1,500 people who were in the building...
*500 were "[[Chris and reality|prefectly [sic] unharmed]]".
*250 were too drunk to escape on their own.
:*125 of these drunk trolls managed to get out alive with help from sober trolls.
:*125 of the drunk trolls were hurt, injured or killed.
*125 sober trolls were hurt, injured or killed.
*250 others were injured.
*150 others were "safe but hurt".
*100 were killed.

[[Honor roll|Note that this only accounts for 1,375 people.]]

Despite having just destroyed a building and killed between 100-350 innocent people, not to mention the injuries of at least 650 others, Chris then calls for the ambulances himself while he and his team of recolors help to rescue the survivors that they themselves had nearly killed. Afterwards, Chris then [[Chris and remorse|weeps for the victims of his own mass murder]], whilst also maintaining that it was [[Chris and his ego|the trolls' faults they were killed, because they made fun of him on the internet]].

Supposedly, destroying 4-cent_garbage's headquarters disabled its website as well, along with Encylcopedia Dramatica's website, such that both sites' data was irrevocably lost, and neither would ever be restored.

==The 4-cent_garbage building==
4-cent_garbage appears to be a multimedia operation, with a website and a print magazine operated from a brick-and-mortar building in Clarksville, Tennessee. The location of the building is probably intended to refer to where the real Jason lives, or at least where Chris ''thinks'' he lives.

The 4-cent_garbage building is 72 stories tall (66+6, as described by [[Beel]]), and the interior is painted bright red to resemble [[CWCville|Hell]]. On the ground floor, Beel sits at the receptionist desk and directs visitors to an elevator on the far side of the atrium. Employees are seen on several higher floors drinking an alcoholic beverage called "[[Reeb]]", and passing out on the floor when their shift is over. Their work seems to involve sitting at computer terminals, uploading and editing images of Chris and his characters.

On the 72nd floor, Jason Kendrick Howell holds court with his womanslave Kathleen at his side. It is unknown where Clyde Cash and Jack Thaddeus were stationed in the building, or what their jobs were before the building's destruction.

Security in the building was incredibly lax. [[Wild Sonichu]] turned invisible to sneak into the upper floors in search of a [[Sonichu Ball]], only to find it left on a desk. Once he took the ball, his invisibility wore off, but he was still able to slip back out of the building unnoticed.

===The elevator gags===
[[Image:SchuRchuReactions1.jpg|thumb|Planning? In MY ''Sonichu''? It's less likely than you think.]]
[[File:SchuComic9Page19-B.jpg|thumb|What is this, I don't even.]]
[[File:SchuComic9Page19-C.jpg|thumb|That's right, the entire White House is on the 51st floor.]]
[[File:SchuComic9Page19-D.jpg|thumb|Chris's favorite pictures from ED. Take special note of the [[pedofork|first and last ones]].]]
A large part of "Rage Against the Garbage" features Sonichu and Rosechu exploring different floors in the 4-cent_garbage Building. Why Sonichu and Rosechu would stop at so many different floors to look around at whatever's going on is never explained, but they clearly react to whatever is depicted, meaning that they must have pressed all the buttons on the elevator controls for no good reason.

This appears to have been one of Chris's attempts to employ some of his trademark [[random-access humor]], by showing wacky stuff on each floor. Much of the material featured in these pages were images lifted directly from [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], whether Chris understood their context or not. In some strange attempt at foreshadowing, Chris located these images on ED and then put them on his user page while he was still trying to edit the site.

{{quote|You'll be seeing the following images AGAIN Soon Enough.|Christian Weston Chandler, on the images he put on his ED user page, which would later be used in ''Sonichu'' #8.}}

Whatever his reasons, Chris seemed to believe that using images from ED in one of his comics would somehow be a big deal. The floors used in the comic are listed below, along with a description of what Chris put on each one.

*2nd floor: Chris draws 4-cent_garbage.com employees passed out drunk at their workstations. When one of them recovers from his hangover and gets up, he relieves the only other conscious employee of his shift and takes over. The relieved guard then drinks a can of "[[Alcohol|Reeb]]" and passes out on the floor like the others, while Sonichu and Rosechu look on from the elevator and [[sigh]].
*3rd floor: [[Pedofork|Pedobear]] in a bathtub with the Powerpuff Girls. Sonichu doesn't understand the joke.
*4th floor: Banner reading "I hate SMRS", a reference to "[http://encyclopediadramatica.online/Sonicrocksmysocks Sonicrocksmysocks]", from the ED article of the same name.
*7th floor: A 4-cent_garbage.com employee works on a drawing of Rosechu with a dick. Rosechu angrily leaves the elevator to punch him in the face, shouting "I have a vagina, uterus, and ovaries, you freak!!!"
*8th floor: Sonichu spin dashes a 4-cent_garbage.com employee working on a picture of [[Mary Lee Walsh]], nude and leading Sonichu by a leash.
*9th floor: Sonichu and Rosechu electrocute an employee as he works on a picture of Sonichu sucking Rosechu's penis.
*10th floor: Chris emerges from the [[Time Void]] to attack an employee working on a picture of Chris using the [[Oversized Drinking Straw of Fail]]. Sonichu and Rosechu cheer him on in unison.
*11th floor: Troll parody of artwork by [http://encyclopediadramatica.online/Branca Branca], a batshit insane fan of the animated band {{w|Gorillaz}}. Sonichu considers it to be sad.
*12th floor: Fanart of Knuckles as a gangster, surrounded by sexualized versions of female "Sonic" characters. Sonichu [[naïve]]ly wonders when he became so popular.
*13th floor: Female versions of [[Sonic]], Tails, and Knuckles. Sonichu and Rosechu are dumbfounded.
*14th floor; Pedobear, depicted to resemble Phoenix Wright.
*21st floor: {{w|The Bathers (Cézanne)|''Les Grandes Baigneuses''}} an 1887 painting by {{w|Paul Cézanne}}. ED has a copy of the image which has been edited with captions to reference the "Branca" article on ED.
*22nd floor: ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' Rule 34, from the ED article. Sonichu innocently considers it an impressive dark magic attack.
*23rd floor: An anthropomorphized Charmeleon with her arms handcuffed behind her back spreads her asscheeks, as if for sexual activity. More Rule 34 from ED's ''[[Pokémon]]'' article. Sonichu ignores the sexualized content, and boasts that he could easily defeat the Charmeleon. Well, duh, it's handcuffed.
*24th floor: Hate art of Snapesnogger's hermaphrodite naga character drawn by Zeriara.
*33rd floor: Rule 34 Art from ED's ''[[Transformers]]'' page.
*34th floor: Sonic/Amy Rose Rule 34. Sonichu cheers on his "pal" as they watch him have sex in a position suspiciously similar to the "missionary cowgirl" used by Sonichu earlier in the issue.
*35th floor: Nude artwork of Amy Rose, Rouge the Bat, and Cream the Rabbit [[Pedofork|(who is 6 years old.)]] Sonichu and Rosechu shout "Holy Crap!" in unison.
*36th floor: Strip poker game featuring various female characters from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. The image has been adapted into a parody of a ''Magic: The Gathering'' Card.
*51st floor: The entire White House, with John McCain, Sarah Palin, and Hillary Clinton, looking on while [[Barack Obama]] paints the walls black. [[George W. Bush]] cheerfully knocks his eventual successor off his ladder. Sonichu and Rosechu offer no discernible reaction. Chris notes that his father [[Bob Chandler]] came up with this "joke." Recall that this story is set in the fall of ''[[2007]]'', so the joke really makes no sense for that year.
*61st floor: Erotic artwork of Dot Warner, from ''Animaniacs''. '''NOTE:''' In the cartoon ''Animaniacs'' the character Dot Warner is 9 years old.
*62nd floor: Erotic artwork of Lois Griffin, from ''[[Family Guy]]''.
*63rd floor: Erotic artwork of Marge Simpson, from ''[[The Simpsons]]''.
*64th floor: Rule 34 of Misty and a Starmie, from ''[[Pokémon]]''. Sonichu and Rosechu make out during this and the preceding three floors.
*69th floor: Image of "XBOX 360-ko", an anime-style character patterned after design elements of the Xbox 360. As the following floor features an Xbox 360 console being destroyed, Chris includes a disclaimer, stating that his hatred of the [[HEXBox]] should not be connected to any lingering resentment of women. This was later changed to a ramble about the purpose of the building and about the trolls in general.
*70th floor: Drawing by Chris of an Xbox 360 console being chopped in half with a meat cleaver. Sonichu and Rosechu applaud the instrument's destruction. The imagery is a clear indication that Chris secretly desires to murder women. This was later changed to a drawing of a sad troll admitting that Chris is right about the previous floor.
*71st floor: [[PS3]] message congratulating whoever murdered the HEXBox. It states that you may "now play your PlayStation 3 or Nintendo Wii in peace", as though the existence of a single Xbox somehow interfered with such activity. This was later changed to an achievement for exposing all the trolls.

Note that it is never addressed whether or not the images such as the Rule 34 depicted here are really just drawings on a computer or poster in the building, or if they have a physical presence. However, the fact that Sonichu cheers on Sonic as he has sex with Amy Rose suggests that they are really there.

===Business and Staff===
{{quote|I am a troll with no such beliefs, I know that we are born, then we die. I intend to make the most of my pitiful life by tormenting every person within my grasp until they all die from the shame and the distress of their existance ''[sic]''. The page will stay up; this meeting is over!|Jason Kendrick Howell, responding to Sonichu's request to remove the "Chris-chan" page, ''Sonichu'' #8}}

4-cent_garbage does not appear to have any clear marketing objective. While this may seem like an oversight on Chris's part, it may well be a genuine commentary on the pointlessness of 4chan and ED's activities. While most people would consider them to be entertainment sites, with no other purpose than to provide humor or diversion, Chris obviously doesn't find them funny, and so he depicted 4-cent_garbage as a tower of bullies, mass-producing cruelty for its own sake. In the comic, Jason says his only goal in life is to hurt as many people as he can before he dies. While he may have only been speaking for himself, this seems to be the ''raison d'être'' for everyone else who works there.

In ''Sonichu'' #10, Beel explains that "this trolling gig is my hell", suggesting that he has been condemned to work there, possibly because he had once been "main assistant to [[Nazis|Adolf Hitler]]". Unable to die, Beel would simply be damned to serve yet another villain, [[Count Graduon]], once the 4-cent_garbage building was destroyed.

While [[Clyde Cash]] had been previously depicted in [[Sonichu Special 1|''Sonichu Special'' #1]] as an agent of [[Mary Lee Walsh]], he also appears in ''Sonichu'' #10 supporting 4-cent_garbage. Though confusing in some respects, especially concerning the canonicity of the Sonichu Specials, this dual role may not be a complete contradiction, as the exact relationship between 4-cent_garbage and [[PVCC]] is never explained.

Chris and stress

2024-09-04T02:40:39Z

[[Image:Stress.jpg|thumb|right|Chris in stressed mode.]]

'''Stress''' is the bane of [[Christian Weston Chandler]]'s existence.

After [[Manchester High School|high school]], Chris soon learned he couldn't blame his shortcomings on his [[high-functioning autism]]. Rather than take matters and improve himself, he began to use "stress" as an excuse. However, it's assumed that Chris is probably confusing "stress" with [[Wikipedia:Depression (mood)|depression]] or anxiety, refusing to admit that he is in fact, unhappy with his current situation. Given the intensely sheltered lifestyle his parents provided for him well into his twenties, it is highly unlikely Chris ever experienced any form of intense anxiety or pressure that would give him severe psychological and physical effects, apart from his consistent paranoia over getting [[trolls|trolled]] and, in recent years, the [[Financhu Crisis]]. He is, however, prescribed medicine for this "stress". Since Chris tends to exaggerate everything, anything that makes him feel remotely uncomfortable is classified to him as a stressor.

When under the effects of "stress", Chris typically posted videos without his [[Pedo-Glasses|glasses]] and talked in a more meek voice. It is during these periods that Chris will opt to remove himself from the [[Chris and the Internet|Internet]] for about a week or so, and then come back feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and given a new resolve to finish the [[Love Quest]]. This is most likely due to his autistic regenerative abilities that make sure that [[Heart level|his heart]] never goes below 0% and into the negatives. Chris often cites stress as the reason why he isn't inspired to work on the comics; precisely why ''inspiration'' is needed to make Sonic recolors have sex with each other and kill Chris's enemies is not apparent.

In [[August 2013]], Chris indicated through [[Facebook]] that his stress is beginning to take a toll on his health. Given his rather [[Chris and health|unhealthy]] [[Obesity|lifestyle]], it's not unlikely.

===Stress sigh===

The '''stress sigh''' is [[Chris]]'s usual reaction to stress. Initially an unconscious coping mechanism, Chris has made habit of directing attention to it in an effort to gain sympathy. Chris has used it in conversation to discourage further unwanted scrutiny, or to express disapproval at having his desires deferred. The places where Chris would sigh while speaking in person are noted in all of his written communication with "*sigh*."

The term "stress sigh" is presumed to originate from [[PVCC (message board)|PVCC]], due to the strong connection in Chris between sighing and stress. Chris refers to the stress sigh as only a "sigh," suggesting that to him the link between sighing and stress is implicit.

Chris sometimes makes a comparable noise, a short, chirpy "hmph," to express contentment and self-satisfaction, usually of a smug variety.

Sonic the Hedgehog (film)

2024-08-27T18:20:32Z

Crinja404: /* Release */

''For the character which the movie is based on, see [[Sonic the Hedgehog]].''

{{Articleofthenow}}

{{quote| If these Movie People REALLY want to sell me and EVERYONE, In General: Get Sonic’s Shoes and Arm Colour Right, Get Mike Pollock to play Robotnik, and HONOR the Past Source Materials in the Story of this “Movie”.|Chris<ref>[[December_2018_social_media_posts#Sonic_Movie_Meltdown]]</ref>}}

[[File:Sonic-the-hedgehog-movie-design-2019.jpg|300px|thumb|right|[[Sonic Boom Protests|The horror returns.]]]]
[[File:NewMovieSonic.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Much better!]]
'''''Sonic the Hedgehog''''' is the name of the live-action movie adaptation of the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' video game series, originally set to be released on 8 [[November 2019]] before being delayed to 14 [[February 2020]]. The film is notorious for the backlash to Sonic's character design, and unlike [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris's]] unsuccessful [[Sonic Boom Protests|''Sonic Boom'' Protests]], Sega actually complied with fan demand to change Sonic's design after the initial design was collectively mocked by the internet for being unintentionally creepy.

==Previews==

Leaks for the then-upcoming movie revealed several drastic changes from the source material. Responding to news on the film in [[June 2018]], Chris used his [[Chris and reality#Sister dimensions|psychic powers]] to confer with Sonic to learn that Sonic disliked the movie, also alluding to his undying hatred of seeing Sonic with blue arms, [[26 December 2014|something that put him in hot water back in 2014]].

{{quotebox|Even Sonic, himself, states that this movie does no good justice for him at all. It’s the “Sonic Boom” video game all over again, but in Movie Form, and no blue arms. My two cents, I would Protest to make the movie BETTER and have the people take a Lot more time on it. ⚡️⚡️<ref name="Jim">[[June 2018 social media posts#Robotnik's voice isn't Jim Carrey! Change it back now!]]</ref>}}

Sonic did not inform Chris that the movie designers had given him blue arms. When Chris found out from a March 2019 leak, he was displeased, showing that his 2014 viewpoint was anything but changed:

{{quotebox|I agree; and I had already stated the need for improvement/change: SONIC’S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE.<ref>[[March 2019 social media posts#Blarms]]</ref>}}

[[File:JimCarreyasEggmanleak.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Robotnik's head is not friggin' haired! Change it back [[THAT IS MY HOUSE|now NOW NOW!]]]]

Chris's animosity with the movie's character designs even extended to Jim Carrey's casting as [[Doctor Robotnik]].

{{quotebox|BOO!!! Carrey does not have the chops to get Eggman’s Voice as Awesome as it has been with Mike. Let Mike Voice Eggman in this movie!<ref name=Jim></ref>}}

When the design of Robotnik was revealed, Chris raged:

{{quotebox|Simply put: NO, @SonicMovie, NO! NO, NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO... HELL F***ING "N", "O".<ref>[[April_2019_social_media_posts#Chris_Reacts_to_the_New_Sonic_Movie_Eggman_Leak]]</ref>}}

The first trailer was released on 30 April 2019. Days later, Chris attempted to reach out to the movie's staff via Twitter (not realizing they cannot see his tweets as his account was in protected mode at the time):

{{quotebox|@SonicMovie, Listen to this dude on WatchMojo; he agrees with me and everyone else about this movie. Delay it a few months and Redo the whole thing.<ref name="may-posts">[[May 2019 social media posts]]</ref>}}

[[File:CWC opinion on Sonic movie redesign.png|thumb|left|200px|Chris's opinion of the Sonic redesign.]]

Chris was not alone in his displeasure with Sonic’s design, as the trailer received widespread backlash for his creepy design. Jeff Fowler, the film's director, claimed they would redesign him again before its release.

{{quoteboxred|Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear... you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be... #sonicmovie #gottafixfast 🔧✌️ }}

A relieved Chris (attempted to) thank him:

{{quotebox|Thank You for listening. 😊⚡️💙⚡️<ref name="may-posts"/>}}

[[File:VDAy shirt.jpeg|thumb|Chris wore this to the movies alone on Valentine's Day.]]

It's worth mentioning the first trailer prominently uses the song "[[(Clyde's) Trollsta's Paradise|Gangsta's Paradise]]" by Coolio, though this is most likely a coincidence. As a side note, the main trailer for ''Pokémon Detective Pikachu'' uses the song "[[CWC Holding Out for a Hero|Holding Out for a Hero]]" by Bonnie Tyler, also probably coincidental.

In January 2020, Chris responded to a leak of Sonic's redesign:

{{Quotebox|I am Grooving on this Speedy Track of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (film)|@SonicMovie]]. ⚡️ZapMeUp!⚡️}}

Chris rated the redesign 9 out of 10 – possibly docking a point for the inclusion of [[blue arms]].

==Release==

General criticism of movies based on video game franchises are not uncommon, with very few exceptions such as ''[[Pokémon]]: Detective Pikachu''.<ref>[https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pokemon_detective_pikachu Rotten Tomatoes] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190505061721/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pokemon_detective_pikachu archived version])</ref> According to the BBC in 2001, the genre has a poor record at the box office,<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1735662.stm</ref> and [[wikipedia:Uwe Boll|Uwe Boll]]’s attempts only worsened the notoriety of the genre. Quite simply put, many movies based on video game franchises do not perform well because it lacks the interactivity and non-linearity that makes video game franchises like Sonic successful.<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VideoGameMoviesSuck TV Tropes - Video Game Movies Suck]</ref>

Nonetheless, ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' managed to overperform its opening weekend projections, was met with a moderately positive reception from critics and received praise from fans of the video games, and though it was hampered by [[COVID-19]] leading to shutdowns of movie theater chains worldwide, it managed to be a hit and become the third highest-grossing film of 2020 <ref>[https://www.the-numbers.com/market/2020/top-grossing-movies Annual Movie Chart - 2020]</ref> (in no small part due to blockbusters being unable to play in a large capacity with a public concerned about contracting the virus). A sequel, ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', which featured a more video-game-accurate design for Doctor Robotnik (seen at the very end of the first film), Tails, and Knuckles was released on 8 [[April 2022]]. This would be followed by a spinoff series, ''Knuckles'', and a third film, ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'', the latter of which introduces Shadow, both being released in [[2024]].

Chris liked the first movie, writing on Twitter...
{{quotebox|The Movie is Really Good; Much better than one would perceive it. The character development, story and other details are worth the watch and enjoyment. You all #GottaGoFast to see the Sonic Movie This Weekend!. Only two flaws: they kept the “Child in the bag” not-joke (cringe for less than a minute), and they left out the “9 Million Steps” line. Other than that, Simply Delightful and Awesome.<ref>[[February 2020 social media posts]]</ref>}}

Life Is Strange

{{taxpayermoney}}

[[Image:Lifeiscwc.png|thumb|What Chris believes]]

'''''Life Is Strange''''' is an episodic graphic adventure video game series that was released for multiple consoles. The first game's plot focuses on Max Caulfield, a photography student who discovers that she has the ability to rewind time at any moment, leading her every choice to enact the butterfly effect. After having foreseen an approaching storm, Max must take on the responsibility to prevent it from destroying her town. It is followed by a prequel, '''''Life Is Strange: Before the Storm''''', which focuses on the romantic relationship between [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chloe Price]] and [[Jessica Quinn|Rachel Amber]]. Following Before the Storm is '''''Life Is Strange 2''''', which focuses on a new set of characters and a new story, followed by '''''Life Is Strange: True Colors''''', which also features a different set of characters and story, followed by another game, '''''Life Is Strange: Double Exposure''''', which features the return of Max Caulfield.

==Chris and ''Life Is Strange''==
Chris seems to relate mostly to Chloe Price, saying how he wishes that he could be saved by his own Rachel Amber. He may not understand the story of the games, since no matter what, their relationship is doomed to fail, and just latched onto the idea that a blue-haired lesbian hooks up with another woman. Or, perhaps he does understand the plot and has come to realize that there is no possible future in which he has a girlfriend, however unlikely this outcome is.

On 4 October 2017, Chris brought up the ''Life Is Strange'' gameplay when talking about his [[Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles|''Adult Chronicles'' game]] in a [[CLog 10042017 - Q&A 1|Q&A]] he did for Kiwi Farms. He said,

{{quotebox|Mm. Oh yeah, um... Adul-- The... heh. There was a video game of my adult life to be made, it would have to be something like a choice-making game like, either ''Life Is Strange'' or ''Gone Home''. I like both of those, both of those are really good.}}

Strangely enough, ''Gone Home'' is not a choice-making game or at all similar to ''Life Is Strange''. The only theme the two games have in common is lesbian romance between two teens.

===Origins===
In [[2017]], Chris was likely aware of the franchise's sizable following, and the player-determinant [[Tomgirl Saga|lesbian implications]] of the games. According to Chris' PSN account, he played ''Life Is Strange'' on 11 June and completed it.<ref>[https://www.truetrophies.com/game/Life-Is-Strange/trophies?gamerid=23643 Chris' ''Life Is Strange'' trophy list]</ref> On 4 September, he started episode one of ''Before the Storm''.<ref>[https://www.truetrophies.com/game/Life-Is-Strange-Before-The-Storm/trophies?gamerid=23643 Chris' ''Before The Storm'' trophy list]</ref>

===7 September, 2017===
On 7 September, Chris posted a status on Facebook, complaining that he was lonely:
{{quotebox|I feel like Chloe Price from "[[PS4|Life Is Strange - Before The Storm]]", waiting and praying for my "Rachel f***ing Amber" to come swoop in and Batwoman me to somewhere safe.}}

Later that day, Chris uploaded a [[Don't harass other people about me|video]], scorning the trolls. Again, he used a ''Life Is Strange'' analogy to make clear that he was yet to become friends with his contacts:
{{quotebox|Just like Chloe didn't have much information about Rachel Amber when Victoria was like “Oh! Rachel put the photo on the inter-, on her Facebook of you two at the... at the band last night! Guess what? That makes y'all B.F.F.s forever!”}}

God of War

Crinja404:

{{taxpayermoney}}
[[Image:KratosBra.png|thumb|The hero of the series, Kratos. His ugly pecs are [[muscle bra|covered per Chris's standards of decency]].]]

'''''[[Wikipedia:God of War (series)|God of War]]''''' is a popular [[Sony]] [[video game]] series. [[Chris]] is a huge fan, especially of ''God of War III'' for the [[PS3]]. It was one of his favorite games of [[2010]], along with ''[[ModNation Racers]]'' and ''[[LittleBiGPlanet]]''.

==''God of War'' and Chris==
In stark contrast to the [[LittleBigPlanet|casual]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|more]] [[Sonic_the_Hedgehog|kid]]-[[Pokémon|friendly]] [[Animal Crossing|titles]] Chris has been known to enjoy, the ''God of War'' series is known for its [[Sonichu_10#Forgiveness....3F|violence]], [[Sandy_Rosechu|gore]], and [[Honest_Content|mature]] storylines based on elements of Greek and Norse mythology.

There are two likely conclusions that can be reached from Chris's enjoyment of the ''God of War'' series:
*The first takes his enjoyment of the game, endorsement of ''[[Brutal Legend]]'', and love of the ''[[Saw]]'' franchise<ref>From [[Mumble_6#Movies|Mumble 6]]</ref> to assume that Chris has a wider variety of tastes than [[Trolls|most]] give him credit for.
*The more likely conclusion, however, is that he plays to [[Mass_debating|see]] the [[Chris and sex|sex]]-themed quicktime event in the early stages of the game (where mashing buttons elicits [[Bob_Walks_In|moans]], [[Stress_sigh|groans]], and a [[Chris and cinematography#Focus|shaking screen]]), as well as to verify his [[Homos#Defenses_against_becoming_a_homo|masculinity]] and [[Chris and remorse|maturity]]. Many children play violent and overly masculine games for mature audiences, thinking this proves that they are "one of the cool (older) kids." They often mimic/parrot whatever the "cool kids" think is awesome – for example, playing a game where the main character brutally mutilates creatures from Greek mythology, while bedding hot chicks in the process. Chris, being essentially a 7-year old trapped in an obese, smelly man's body, is no different.

Chris discussed ''God of War'' on [[Chris's Big Night Out|his Big Night Out]].

[[Collosal Chan]]'s final battle against [[Mary Lee Walsh]] in the [[comic]] was directly "[[plagiarism|inspired]]" by the ''God of War'' games (ditto the Collosal Chan character in general).<ref>From [[Sonichu_10#The_Final_Countdown|''Sonichu'' #10]]</ref> That battle was surprisingly non-violent, especially considering the gory murder-execution of the [[Asperpedia]] Four later in the [[Sonichu 10|same issue]].

Chris signed on to vandalize the [[CWCki]] around the height of his interest in ''God of War'', as his chosen account name was [[User:GodofThunderGodofWar|GodofThunderGodofWar]].

''For the character which the movie is based on, see [[Sonic the Hedgehog]].''

[[File:Sonic-the-hedgehog-movie-design-2019.jpg|300px|thumb|right|[[Sonic Boom Protests|The horror returns.]]]]
[[File:NewMovieSonic.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Much better!]]
'''''Sonic the Hedgehog''''' is the name of the live-action movie adaptation of the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' video game series, originally set to be released on 8 [[November 2019]] before being delayed to 14 [[February 2020]]. The film is notorious for the backlash to Sonic's character design, and unlike [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris's]] unsuccessful [[Sonic Boom Protests|''Sonic Boom'' Protests]], Sega actually complied with fan demand to change Sonic's design after the initial design was collectively mocked by the internet for being unintentionally creepy.

==Previews==

Leaks for the then-upcoming movie revealed several drastic changes from the source material. Responding to news on the film in [[June 2018]], Chris used his [[Chris and reality#Sister dimensions|psychic powers]] to confer with Sonic to learn that Sonic disliked the movie, also alluding to his undying hatred of seeing Sonic with blue arms, [[26 December 2014|something that put him in hot water back in 2014]].

{{quotebox|Even Sonic, himself, states that this movie does no good justice for him at all. It’s the “Sonic Boom” video game all over again, but in Movie Form, and no blue arms. My two cents, I would Protest to make the movie BETTER and have the people take a Lot more time on it. ⚡️⚡️<ref name="Jim">[[June 2018 social media posts]]</ref>}}

Sonic did not inform Chris that the movie designers had given him blue arms. When Chris found out from a March 2019 leak, he was displeased, showing that his 2014 viewpoint was anything but changed:

{{quotebox|I agree; and I had already stated the need for improvement/change: SONIC’S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/post-4400343</ref>}}

[[File:JimCarreyasEggmanleak.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Robotnik's head is not friggin' haired! Change it back [[THAT IS MY HOUSE|now NOW NOW!]]]]

Chris's animosity with the movie's character designs even extended to Jim Carrey's casting as [[Doctor Robotnik]].

{{quotebox|BOO!!! Carrey does not have the chops to get Eggman’s Voice as Awesome as it has been with Mike. Let Mike Voice Eggman in this movie!<ref name=Jim></ref>}}

When the design of Robotnik was revealed, Chris raged:

{{quotebox|Simply put: NO, @SonicMovie, NO! NO, NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO... HELL F***ING "N", "O".<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/page-1029#post-4640551</ref>}}

The first trailer was released on 30 April 2019. Days later, Chris attempted to reach out to the movie's staff via Twitter (not realizing they cannot see his tweets as his account was in protected mode at the time):

{{quotebox|@SonicMovie, Listen to this dude on WatchMojo; he agrees with me and everyone else about this movie. Delay it a few months and Redo the whole thing.<ref name="may-posts">[[May 2019 social media posts]]</ref>}}

[[File:CWC opinion on Sonic movie redesign.png|thumb|left|200px|Chris's opinion of the Sonic redesign.]]

Chris was not alone in his displeasure with Sonic’s design, as the trailer received widespread backlash for his creepy design. Jeff Fowler, the film's director, claimed they would redesign him again before its release.

{{quoteboxred|Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear... you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be... #sonicmovie #gottafixfast 🔧✌️ }}

A relieved Chris (attempted to) thank him:

{{quotebox|Thank You for listening. 😊⚡️💙⚡️<ref name="may-posts"/>}}

[[File:VDAy shirt.jpeg|thumb|Chris wore this to the movies alone on Valentine's Day.]]

It's worth mentioning the first trailer prominently uses the song "[[(Clyde's) Trollsta's Paradise|Gangsta's Paradise]]" by Coolio, though this is most likely a coincidence. As a side note, the main trailer for ''Pokémon Detective Pikachu'' uses the song "[[CWC Holding Out for a Hero|Holding Out for a Hero]]" by Bonnie Tyler, also probably coincidental.

In January 2020, Chris responded to a leak of Sonic's redesign:

{{Quotebox|I am Grooving on this Speedy Track of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (film)|@SonicMovie]]. ⚡️ZapMeUp!⚡️}}

Chris rated the redesign 9 out of 10 – possibly docking a point for the inclusion of [[blue arms]].

==Release==

General criticism of movies based on video game franchises are not uncommon, with very few exceptions such as ''[[Pokémon]]: Detective Pikachu''.<ref>[https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pokemon_detective_pikachu Rotten Tomatoes] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190505061721/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pokemon_detective_pikachu archived version])</ref> According to the BBC in 2001, the genre has a poor record at the box office,<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1735662.stm</ref> and [[wikipedia:Uwe Boll|Uwe Boll]]’s attempts only worsened the notoriety of the genre. Quite simply put, many movies based on video game franchises do not perform well because it lacks the interactivity and non-linearity that makes video game franchises like Sonic successful.<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VideoGameMoviesSuck TV Tropes - Video Game Movies Suck]</ref>

Nonetheless, ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' managed to overperform its opening weekend projections, was met with a moderately positive reception from critics and received praise from fans of the video games, and though it was hampered by [[COVID-19]] leading to shutdowns of movie theater chains worldwide, it managed to be a hit and become the third highest-grossing film of 2020 <ref>[https://www.the-numbers.com/market/2020/top-grossing-movies Annual Movie Chart - 2020]</ref> (in no small part due to blockbusters being unable to play in a large capacity with a public concerned about contracting the virus). A sequel, which featured a more video-game-accurate design for Doctor Robotnik (seen at the very end of the first film), Tails, and Knuckles was released on 8 [[April 2022]]. This would be followed by a third film and spin-off series both being released in [[2024]].

Chris liked the movie, writing on Twitter...
{{quotebox|The Movie is Really Good; Much better than one would perceive it. The character development, story and other details are worth the watch and enjoyment. You all #GottaGoFast to see the Sonic Movie This Weekend!. Only two flaws: they kept the “Child in the bag” not-joke (cringe for less than a minute), and they left out the “9 Million Steps” line. Other than that, Simply Delightful and Awesome.<ref>[[February 2020 social media posts]]</ref>}}

Crinja404: Twitter is now being called X after Musk bought it.

{{quote|31.5 Thousand Followers; now down to 25,999. All that in a number of Hours repetitively hitting “Block” down the list with my stylus|Chris, on manually blocking thousands of [[Weens|X followers]] as opposed to using a bot.}}
[[Image:CWCTwitter_wiki_welcome.jpg|thumb|right|"'''Short''', '''timely''' messages from Christian W Chandler": Twitter marketing department's biggest inadvertent lie.]]
[[File:Chris Twitter Profile Pic.jpg|thumb|300px|Chris's Twitter profile pic prior to extensively roleplaying as Sonichu.]]
[[File: Feb2021CWC0.jpg|thumb|300px|Chris's twitter profile picture in February 2021 after he had stopped roleplaying as Sonichu.]]

'''[[Wikipedia:Twitter|X]]''' is a popular social networking and microblogging service where people can post messages that are up to 280 (originally 140) characters in length. While it has its uses and has managed to last despite many criticisms, it is sometimes described as a pointless fad, and if even ''Chris'' called it a fad at one point, perhaps there is something to this claim.

However, from 2016 onward, Chris became much more active on X, to the point where it [[2017 tweets|became his primary means of communicating with]] [[Trolls|the public]]. He rarely posts on his [[YouTube]] channel like he used to; he now communicates through multi-part Twitter threads and image uploads instead. Chris often fails to understand why Twitter was designed the way it is. While X threads are now an official feature of the site, Chris concocted his own version of them for years prior. He acted as if X is just a normal blog that inexplicably splits the messages into 280-character chunks for no reason. Whenever he goes off on a long text wall broken up between dozens of tweets, he ends most of them with a "..." when he has to finish a sentence between tweets, making his tweets difficult to follow.

On 20 [[June 2013]] and 21 June 2013, hidden X posts from 16 [[April 2012]] to 21 [[June 2013]], most of them linked to the [[Facebook]] [[2013 Imgur Leak]], and pictures from 20 [[June 2013]] were leaked on the [[CWCki Forums]].

Chris stopped using Twitter following [[Jail Saga#Arrest|the revelations and his eventual arrest]] for [[Affair with Mother|incest]], with his last tweet being on 30 [[July 2021]].

== Main accounts ==
===CWCSonichu (December 2009 - 14 June 2019)===
[[File:CWCTwitter.jpg|thumb|right|As it was, in 2010.]]

Chris was inspired to register his own X account, ''CWCSonichu'',<ref>[http://twitter.com/CWCSonichu CWCSonichu]</ref> when the [[CWCipedia]] administrator insisted on adding a live [[Sonichu]] X feed <ref>[http://twitter.com/#search?q=-RT%20sonichu]</ref> onto the CWCipedia [[Mailbag]] page, and later the CWCipedia front page. This feed picked up all mentions of the word "Sonichu" (hence Chris's use of the prefix "C.C. Sonichu says:"), to provide the loyal fanbase real-time coverage of their favorite comic and game hero and reactions to his weird antics from other fans. The CWCipedia sysop, in his infinite wisdom, elected to allow arbitrary, unmoderated comments from all fans to appear on the front page, to fully leverage the power of Web 2.0, user-created content, reader participation and all that modern nonsense.

Careful readers may start to notice that there's a slight conflict in this: Chris had stated many times that he wanted to be in complete control over the CWCipedia. In a development that surprised no one, the live feed was promptly overrun by [[troll]]s. Chris was furious, and was compelled to write his own updates to drown out all of the [[homos|gay allegations]] and other [[pickle]]-related activity that was going on on his web page.

However, as it is with all of the other things in this world, Chris's focus on Twitter waned over time. In [[May 2010]], the live Twitter feed was removed from CWCipedia, because apparently certain trolls failed to notice that Chris quit paying attention to his own web page and the activities of the trolls in the Twitter feed started to make Chris look positive in comparison. Chris stopped using the site in 2013 but picked up again in June 2016 and began tweeting more and more through the rest of 2016 and into 2017, to the point where he is more active on X now than ever before.

==== Subscriptions ====

Chris originally followed 29 people and groups, all of them related to [[Video games|gaming]]. Among these are...

* ''...relevant information on [[PS3|Life Upgrades]]:'' PlayStation, ps3fanboy, PS3_Trophies
* ''...accounts related to [[LittleBigPlanet|the sweetest non-Chinese hobby of all]]:'' Media_Molecule, LittleBigPlanet [No longer followed as that account was suspended for some reason], LittleBIGFan, SackBoy4Pluto, Mm_Sackgirl
* ''...respectable, reliable and impartial game journalists and media:'' Veronica <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[10 September 2009|Veronica Belmont]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>, Qore, GamesRadar, GameTrailers, gamespot, IGN, g4tv, GamePro, xplay, gamenewsps3 <nowiki>[G4]</nowiki>, gameinformer
* ''...game houses which produce games that Chris may play, if properly baited away from LittleBigPlanet-related activities:'' Naughty_Dog, insomniacgames, SEGA, EA, Ubisoft, CriterionGames, NISAmerica <nowiki>[Nippon Ichi Software]</nowiki>, RockBand, namcogames
* ''...[[Monthly Tugboat|tugboat]] sailing destinations:'' amazongames
* ''...events which Chris doesn't attend:'' Official_PAX

Notably, [[10 September 2009|Veronica Belmont]] (a video game show host and also, OMG, a woman) is the only real person among these subscriptions. This does wonders to dispel rumors that Chris is a living video game geek stereotype and hence beyond merely undateable.

With Chris's resurgence of activity, he has followed over 600 accounts, many of them belonging to [[Chris and socialization#MLP voice actresses|minor celebrities]] and [[DoopieDoOver|internet personalities]] he attempts to interact with. Some accounts he formerly followed have since blocked Chris.

====Blocks====
{{see also|List of places that have banned Chris#Social media profiles|TF2 Analysis}}

Chris has been blocked on X by a number of accounts, including many he used to follow, preventing him from either tweeting at them or seeing their posts. While some of this has come from people he follows discovering his personality flaws and history of poor online behavior, other blocks have been due to [[weens]] flocking to any account Chris shares from or responds to, spamming his convos with less than savory things and images of Chris's past.

Though Chris has been periodically blocked by various people for several years, he reached his [[Twitter_blocks_from_TF2_Analysis_crew|breaking point]] in January 2019 when he was blocked by a number of individuals in the [[My Little Pony]] fandom in short succession, prompting many days of [[Apologies_to_the_liked_Bronies_and_Pegasisters;_PLEASE_UNBLOCK_ME_ON_TWITTER!|angry screeching]] and [[Chris and anger|tard rage]] against the trolls and the blockers themselves.

This would not be the first notable incident where Chris threw a total fit from being blocked. When [[DoopieDoOver|Doopie]] blocked Chris for his creepy behavior, Chris blamed the trolls and weens, not realizing that his own actions was the main catalyst in Doopie cutting any sort of ties with him. From this incident, it is clear that two years later, Chris still cannot comprehend why someone would NOT want to talk to him. Given his [[Chris_and_his_Ego|historic inability to be told "no"]], it is likely that Chris will be continuing to receive more twitter [[List_of_places_that_have_banned_Chris|blocks]] in the future.

===CPU_CWCSonichu (9 February 2019 - 30 July 2021)===
[[File:Cant see tweets 20190606 112642.jpg|thumb|right]]
On 9 [[February 2019]], Chris began his move to a new Twitter account, @CPU_CWCSonichu, in an attempt to yet again bypass his blocks. Predictably, this was blocked within a day or two by all relevant bronies. After a few days of Twitter silence, Chris posted [[A Moment With Dr Wolf Chris Chan and Greater Struggles]] on both his old @CWCSonichu account and his new @CPU_CWCSonichu account, soon followed with an announcement the he was indeed abandoning the old account (with roughly 25,000 followers at this time, down from a peak of 31,000 after manually banning thousands of weens and trolls) and transferring his [[Weens|X fanbase]] to the new @CPU_CWCSonichu account (just over 2,000 followers as of 17 February, and growing rapidly), noting that he "will be striving to contain Less Drama and any and all Haters and Harassers shall be Blocked Out, Period".

Chris did not realize that [[Honor roll|protected X accounts cannot be viewed by people who are not following him]]. He made many tweets directed at people who will never see them, meaning that he is truly talking into the void. On 5 [[June 2019]], however, Chris responded to someone pointing this out to him. Chris said he knows this, but doesn't care, and still tags people. Currently, when Chris tweets something that he wants as many people as possible to see, he will ask readers to screencap his tweets and share them. He opened Direct Messaging on the 24th and removed the protection the next day.

Chris eventually unprotected the account.

As of [[August 2021]], Chris's X is currently dormant, with his last tweet being on 30 July 2021, due to his arrest for incest. Since being released, the account still has not been used.

==Alt accounts==
Since the discovery of the @NightStar2891 account, watchers have found a number of other accounts that appear to belong to Chris, such as the now-suspended @EquestriaHeart, characterized by their clearly unrealistic degree of ''Sonichu'' fandom, white knighting of Chris, and similar interests and behavior. However, it has become clear that they in fact belong to [[weens]] ''pretending'' to be Chris's sockpuppets.

A related form of weenery involves impersonating Chris. While a few accounts such as [https://twitter.com/RealCWCSonichu @RealCWCSonichu] make some attempt to be convincing imposters, most, such as [https://twitter.com/liquidchu420 @liquidchu420] and [https://twitter.com/cw_true @cw_true], are clearly (unfunny) jokes and not intended to fool spectators. Chris, however, believes that these imposter accounts are responsible for his bad reputation that led to other users blocking him.

===NightStar2891===
{{main|Night Star#Twitter sockpuppet}}

In August 2017, during the [[Doopie]] Saga, trolls discovered that Chris was operating an alternate account (or "sockpuppet") on Twitter, with the main purpose of [[White knight|supporting his main account]] in arguments with [[Ween|weens]], posing as a [[True and Loyal Fanbase|TRUE and HONEST fan]] of Chris and his work. The account, [[Night Star#Twitter sockpuppet|@NightStar2891]], assumed the persona of Chris's [[My Little Pony]] fan character, "(Miss) Night Star".

Chris initially denied (on both accounts) any connection to "Night Star". However, as with his [[JenkinsJinkies]] account on [[Trollin Train]], even a [[slow-in-the-mind]] would be able to recognize Chris from the use of his [[Chris and English|distinctive writing style]], constant praise and defense of himself, location in [[Chris's homes|Virginia]], frequent assertions that he is [[Tomgirl|transgender]], following and retweeting of people he likes (such as Doopie and Tara Strong), borrowing of his original characters, and password-recovery [[emails]] matching Chris's known accounts. Of course, Chris [[Disguises|believes he is a master of disguise]] and believed he had successfully masked his identity under the secondary account.

Later in August, Chris came clean and admitted he was behind NightStar8291, though he continues to use the account occasionally, particularly to try and contact people such as Doopie, Tabitha St. Germain, and [[LadyOfTheCosmo]] who have blocked Chris's main account.

===TwiSparLicious===
{{main|TwiSparLicious}}

===MagiChan111448===
[[File:MagiChan111448 recovery email.png|thumb|The recovery email on file matches IAMMRC@aol.com, [[Bob]]'s old email<ref>[[Chris emails 2004-2006]]</ref>, proving it to be Chris.]]

On January 2019, another X sock was discovered by observers under the alias of [[Magi-Chan]], @MagiChan111448. The account was created primarily so Chris could white-knight for himself during the [[Twitter blocks from TF2 Analysis crew]] saga and to evade their blocks on his main X account.

The account was set to protected mode, so people not following it wouldn't be able to read the tweets and reply, making it a cheap way for Chris to feel [[validation]]. Activity on the account resumed in June 2019, promoting [[Dimensional Merge]] and Chris's other beliefs. The account was unprotected in late June 2019.

Chris claims it was made for his [[imaginary friend]] and [[Polyamorous marriage|spouse]]:

{{quotebox|I personally helped make the account for him, and he stood with me and included his likes and wants for the page. He shall be personally making his tweets and commentary from there.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1088975955543117824</ref>}}

The number 111448 is a reference to Magi-Chan's retconned birthdate (Nov. 14, 1948, which had been put in Chris's head by the [[Idea Guys]] the year before).<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1088982770595057664</ref>

===Creamarina===
{{main|Creamarina}}

==Use by other people==
{{see also|2018 Twitter account compromise}}
The [[Teen Troon Squad]] socially engineered Chris into giving them his Twitter password and used it to sign into his account to post tweets in order to troll him, such as by leaking several videos from the [[Idea Guys]] saga and posting an image of a dead animal claiming it to be one of Chris's pets.

[[The Captain]] also signed into Chris's account, with his permission, during the events of [[Waiting for the tow truck]], in order to inform followers of Chris's situation.

Notably, [[10 September 2009|Veronica Belmont]] (a video game show host and also, OMG, a woman) is the only real person among these subscriptions. This does wonders to dispel rumors that Chris is a living video game geek stereotype and hence beyond merely undateable.

With Chris's resurgence of activity, he has followed over 600 accounts, many of them belonging to [[Chris and socialization#MLP voice actresses|minor celebrities]] and [[DoopieDoOver|internet personalities]] he attempts to interact with. Some accounts he formerly followed have since blocked Chris.

====Blocks====
{{see also|List of places that have banned Chris#Social media profiles|TF2 Analysis}}

Chris has been blocked on X by a number of accounts, including many he used to follow, preventing him from either tweeting at them or seeing their posts. While some of this has come from people he follows discovering his personality flaws and history of poor online behavior, other blocks have been due to [[weens]] flocking to any account Chris shares from or responds to, spamming his convos with less than savory things and images of Chris's past.

Though Chris has been periodically blocked by various people for several years, he reached his [[Twitter_blocks_from_TF2_Analysis_crew|breaking point]] in January 2019 when he was blocked by a number of individuals in the [[My Little Pony]] fandom in short succession, prompting many days of [[Apologies_to_the_liked_Bronies_and_Pegasisters;_PLEASE_UNBLOCK_ME_ON_TWITTER!|angry screeching]] and [[Chris and anger|tard rage]] against the trolls and the blockers themselves.

This would not be the first notable incident where Chris threw a total fit from being blocked. When [[DoopieDoOver|Doopie]] blocked Chris for his creepy behavior, Chris blamed the trolls and weens, not realizing that his own actions was the main catalyst in Doopie cutting any sort of ties with him. From this incident, it is clear that two years later, Chris still cannot comprehend why someone would NOT want to talk to him. Given his [[Chris_and_his_Ego|historic inability to be told "no"]], it is likely that Chris will be continuing to receive more twitter [[List_of_places_that_have_banned_Chris|blocks]] in the future.

===CPU_CWCSonichu (9 February 2019 - 30 July 2021)===
[[File:Cant see tweets 20190606 112642.jpg|thumb|right]]
On 9 [[February 2019]], Chris began his move to a new Twitter account, @CPU_CWCSonichu, in an attempt to yet again bypass his blocks. Predictably, this was blocked within a day or two by all relevant bronies. After a few days of Twitter silence, Chris posted [[A Moment With Dr Wolf Chris Chan and Greater Struggles]] on both his old @CWCSonichu account and his new @CPU_CWCSonichu account, soon followed with an announcement the he was indeed abandoning the old account (with roughly 25,000 followers at this time, down from a peak of 31,000 after manually banning thousands of weens and trolls) and transferring his [[Weens|X fanbase]] to the new @CPU_CWCSonichu account (just over 2,000 followers as of 17 February, and growing rapidly), noting that he "will be striving to contain Less Drama and any and all Haters and Harassers shall be Blocked Out, Period".

Chris did not realize that [[Honor roll|protected X accounts cannot be viewed by people who are not following him]]. He made many tweets directed at people who will never see them, meaning that he is truly talking into the void. On 5 [[June 2019]], however, Chris responded to someone pointing this out to him. Chris said he knows this, but doesn't care, and still tags people. Currently, when Chris tweets something that he wants as many people as possible to see, he will ask readers to screencap his tweets and share them. He opened Direct Messaging on the 24th and removed the protection the next day.

Chris eventually unprotected the account.

As of [[August 2021]], Chris's X is currently dormant, with his last tweet being on 30 July 2021, due to his arrest for incest. Since being released, the account still has not been used.

==Alt accounts==
Since the discovery of the @NightStar2891 account, watchers have found a number of other accounts that appear to belong to Chris, such as the now-suspended @EquestriaHeart, characterized by their clearly unrealistic degree of ''Sonichu'' fandom, white knighting of Chris, and similar interests and behavior. However, it has become clear that they in fact belong to [[weens]] ''pretending'' to be Chris's sockpuppets.

A related form of weenery involves impersonating Chris. While a few accounts such as [https://twitter.com/RealCWCSonichu @RealCWCSonichu] make some attempt to be convincing imposters, most, such as [https://twitter.com/liquidchu420 @liquidchu420] and [https://twitter.com/cw_true @cw_true], are clearly (unfunny) jokes and not intended to fool spectators. Chris, however, believes that these imposter accounts are responsible for his bad reputation that led to other users blocking him.

===NightStar2891===
{{main|Night Star#Twitter sockpuppet}}

In August 2017, during the [[Doopie]] Saga, trolls discovered that Chris was operating an alternate account (or "sockpuppet") on Twitter, with the main purpose of [[White knight|supporting his main account]] in arguments with [[Ween|weens]], posing as a [[True and Loyal Fanbase|TRUE and HONEST fan]] of Chris and his work. The account, [[Night Star#Twitter sockpuppet|@NightStar2891]], assumed the persona of Chris's [[My Little Pony]] fan character, "(Miss) Night Star".

Chris initially denied (on both accounts) any connection to "Night Star". However, as with his [[JenkinsJinkies]] account on [[Trollin Train]], even a [[slow-in-the-mind]] would be able to recognize Chris from the use of his [[Chris and English|distinctive writing style]], constant praise and defense of himself, location in [[Chris's homes|Virginia]], frequent assertions that he is [[Tomgirl|transgender]], following and retweeting of people he likes (such as Doopie and Tara Strong), borrowing of his original characters, and password-recovery [[emails]] matching Chris's known accounts. Of course, Chris [[Disguises|believes he is a master of disguise]] and believed he had successfully masked his identity under the secondary account.

Later in August, Chris came clean and admitted he was behind NightStar8291, though he continues to use the account occasionally, particularly to try and contact people such as Doopie, Tabitha St. Germain, and [[LadyOfTheCosmo]] who have blocked Chris's main account.

On January 2019, another X sock was discovered by observers under the alias of [[Magi-Chan]], @MagiChan111448. The account was created primarily so Chris could white-knight for himself during the [[Twitter blocks from TF2 Analysis crew]] saga and to evade their blocks on his main Twitter account.

The account was set to protected mode, so people not following it wouldn't be able to read the tweets and reply, making it a cheap way for Chris to feel [[validation]]. Activity on the account resumed in June 2019, promoting [[Dimensional Merge]] and Chris's other beliefs. The account was unprotected in late June 2019.

Chris claims it was made for his [[imaginary friend]] and [[Polyamorous marriage|spouse]]:

{{quotebox|I personally helped make the account for him, and he stood with me and included his likes and wants for the page. He shall be personally making his tweets and commentary from there.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1088975955543117824</ref>}}

The number 111448 is a reference to Magi-Chan's retconned birthdate (Nov. 14, 1948, which had been put in Chris's head by the [[Idea Guys]] the year before).<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1088982770595057664</ref>

==Use by other people==
{{see also|2018 Twitter account compromise}}
The [[Teen Troon Squad]] socially engineered Chris into giving them his Twitter password and used it to sign into his account to post tweets in order to troll him, such as by leaking several videos from the [[Idea Guys]] saga and posting an image of a dead animal claiming it to be one of Chris's pets.

[[The Captain]] also signed into Chris's account, with his permission, during the events of [[Waiting for the tow truck]], in order to inform followers of Chris's situation.

Chris and writing

{{Articleofthenow}}
{{quote|I do believe it wouldn’t be published, not because of the [[Chris and art|art style]], but because of the story. I mean, no one wants to read this.|Comic artist Mara Wild, on ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]''.<ref>[https://areomagazine.com/2019/06/28/the-strangest-fandom-on-the-internet/ The Strangest Fandom on the Internet], 28 [[June 2019]]</ref>}}

[[Chris]]'s '''writing''' is marked by many flaws that have persisted throughout his creative output.

== General problems ==
: ''See also: [[Chris and art]], [[Sonichu (comic)]]''

At the heart of it, Chris's writing is rather two-faced. Despite the subject matter frequently being [[The Incredible Lioness|completely unsuitable for children]], Chris shows a juvenile, [[Slow-in-the-minds|simple]] writing style. But at times, he throws in (and misuses) [[College|college-level]] vocabulary words and attempts to use advanced sentence structure; he is quite fond of semicolons, even if he uses them to link together two unrelated sentences, in order to make his stories more "professional". The result is a confusing, jumbled writing style.

Chris frequently pauses from the action to describe exactly what a character is wearing and [[Sonichu 8|expound upon trivial aspects of characters]] [[Autism|in unnecessary detail]], even when it has no relevance to the plot. Inversely, he frequently [[Evan|glosses over important things]] that may [[Sonichu Balls|have relevance at some point]]. Even in "action" scenes, Chris will frequently pause in order to introduce something completely irrelevant.<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_0/Page_44 Issue 0 Page 44]</ref> The overall presentation is consistently sloppy, marked by unwieldy turns of phrase and elementary typographical errors that suggest that Chris does not proofread anything he creates before putting it on the Internet. Also, Chris has the habit of using the font Comic Sans to type, which while commonly used for material intended to be read by children, is generally considered lazy, cliched and ugly. Chris's use of the font is particularly incongruous, especially since it has been used to lovingly describe such scenarios in ''Sonichu'' as mass murder, [[Chris and sex|gratuitous sexual activity]] and [[Chris and coping#Power fantasies|blatant wish fulfilment]]. Luckily, in [[Sonichu 12-9]], he moved on to Proxima Nova.

Chris produces no preparatory writing of any sort for his stories, content to make them up as he goes along and putting the overall narrative at the mercy of his moods and fancies. This isn't bad writing, as several movies like {{w|The Social Network|The Social Network}}, {{w|Mission Impossible: Fallout|Mission Impossible: Fallout}}, and even [[Star Wars|Star Wars]] had its plot being written up along as they were being filmed. But the difference is that those events made up in these films made sense while Sonichu's events are randomized. Chris regularly changes his mind as to what the story should be and [[continuity|contradicts what has come before as he pleases]], unable to comprehend why this would bother his audience. He also often introduces and foreshadows seemingly important plot elements that [[Darkbind Sonichu|never substantially contribute to the plot]] or are dropped abruptly when Chris [[Anchuent prophecy|loses interest in them]].

To the surprise of nobody, Chris is no [[Alec Benson Leary|Alan Moore]] and ''Sonichu'' is no ''[[Asperchu|Watchmen]]''. Chris makes no effort to work to the strengths of the comic medium, and instead approaches his comics more like a [[television]] series or [[anime]] in structure, using storytelling techniques and visual information that work in those mediums but not so well on paper. He is ignorant towards comic books and how they are supposed to work as a sequential narrative. Despite a desire to work for major companies like {{w|DC Comics|DC}}, {{w|Marvel Comics|Marvel}}, {{w|Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse}} and {{w|Archie Comics|Archie}}, Chris has never shown any real interest towards those companies and their publications, though he did seem vaguely aware of the miniseries ''{{w|Marvel Zombies}}'' in [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8|one of the Alec calls]], criticizing its [[Sonichu 10|violent]] and [[Parody|parodic]] nature despite admitting to having [[Naïve|never read it]]. Within ''Sonichu'' itself, his Mary Sue insert has referred to the comic as an anime and himself as its director, and has given it ratings such as TV-14, etc., which only apply to television standards. ''Sonichu'' isn't so much a work designed to be a comic, but rather an economic storyboard and/or script for a hypothetical TV show or video game.

=== Exposition ===
[[File:SchuComic10P3.jpg|thumb|If only there was some way that events and actions could be depicted visually, rather than as endless and tedious walls of Comic Sans.]]
[[File:SchuComic10P65.jpg|thumb|For fuck's sake.]]
{{quote|Fifteen minutes of dialogue, and a transformation, later...|[[Sonichu 9|Chris, not even trying anymore]]}}

A common thread in discussions of Creative Writing is the doctrine of "show, don't tell" when writing fiction; rather than having events merely be told to the reader through characters, if possible, the author should feature the scene as it happened, with the characters being a part of it. This point was clearly lost on Chris.

As a writer, Chris is over-reliant upon exposition, to the point that some works (such as [[The High School Story]]) contain nothing else. Chris does not like to illustrate facts of his stories through example, and instead expects the reader to accept his every word as gospel, leaving no room for interpretations that are not [[TRUE and HONEST]]. Confusing dialogue for exposition, Chris believes that his level of exposition is normal in mainstream comics.<ref>[[Mailbag 19#Textwalling|Mailbag 19]]</ref>

When Chris ripped off the comic Rosechu's Story for use in [[Sonichu 15]], he added in heavy exposition. When criticized by fans, Chris commented:

{{quotebox|[Rosechu's Story] definitely compares and contrasts to my own that goes beyond literal small talk. In my defense on the heavy dialogue: I have lots of wisdom and thoughts to share, so I digress.

It beats saying one line, leaving it at that, and Not getting the explanation and thought across. Big difference between #TeenTitans and #TeenTitansGO: GO has decreased explanatory dialogue, and look at how crappy it is. The original show offers the greater detail in good ways.<ref>[[July 2019 social media posts]]</ref>}}

In addition, Chris critically fails at the literary element "show don't tell" even in illustrated action scenes, choosing instead to describe what a character is doing between two asterisks (some notable offenders are *CUTS VINES*, *CRASH TO GRASS*,<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_9/Page_52 Issue 9 Page 52]</ref> *TELEPORTS IN*, and *MAKES GUN DO A 180*.), which shows that the idea of onomatopoeia is lost to him. In these cases, examples including "SLICE", "THUMP", "WHOOSH" and, perhaps, "SQUEAK" would have told readers the same thing, but with a lot more emphasis on what's going on.

[[File:SchuComic1.jpg|thumb|right|[[Mary Lee Walsh]] threatens Chris and Sonichu with a "Hee! Hee!" attack, which most military analysts seem to agree is ''not'' a particularly potent or spine-chilling threat. The [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]], however, is widely believed to destroy everything.]]

=== Characterization ===
: ''See also: [[Chris and art#Character design|Character design]]''

Chris's characters, as they are written, are distinguishable only by the vaguest surface elements. Chris's view of ideal personalities in men and women is clear to him, and because he wants all of his creations to be perfect, his characters are barely-distinct variations on a theme. Chris does not comprehend the appeal of characters with flaws. In his [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 2|second call with Alec Benson Leary]] Chris explained that because he considers all of his characters to be very much real, living things that exist in [[C-197|some sort of cartoon universe]], giving them flaws would amount to tormenting a living creature (in the context of the conversation, Chris defended bleaching [[Asperchu]] into "Mitch Sonichu" because the character shouldn't have to suffer his original name). His general response to the criticism that his characters lack personality is denial.

The indistinct characterizations of the Sonichu cast are reflected in their dialogue. Chris does not use dialogue to suggest distinct personalities and worldviews. All characters are equally capable of speaking as Chris does, and from Chris's perspective, including [[Sonichu and Rosechu's Children|small children]].

This in turn leads to only three basic stock personalities. All males (except for Chris) are superficial idiots who are only interested in fucking and enforcing Comic-Chris's [[CWCville|draconian laws]], all of the females are vacuous sluts who only want to fuck, shop and cook (in that order, no less), and [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Comic-Chris]] comes off as a murderous, insane dictator of a militaristic city-state enforced by a paramilitary secret police and a pack of [[Electric Hedgehog Pokemon|super-powered goons]] with immunity from [[Chris and the Law|prosecution]] and freedom to commit any [[Sonichu 10|atrocities]] they ([[Gun Comic|and he]]) please, utilizing a [[Magi-Chan|psychic hedgehog]] to spy on his citizens to make sure there are no [[homos|gay people]], and gleefully reveling in the pain he inflicts on those whom he deems unworthy.

Just as the protagonists are designed to be Chris's bland, homogenous vision of ideal heroism, the antagonists are simply evil for the sake of evil. The villains more often than not act with no apparent motivation whatsoever other than an abstractly contrived desire to bully Chris by sabotaging his heroic efforts to get a girlfriend. How they would prosper from this is unknown, especially considering that they have not once ever come close to defeating the Hedgehogs. Since Chris doesn't see the appeal in protagonists with flaws, he likewise doesn't see the appeal in villains with redeeming qualities (probably because most of his enemies are avatars of real people whom Chris genuinely believes are involved in a [[Greene County Conspiracy|conspiracy]] against him). The closest thing to a sympathetic villain is [[Blake]], but only because he has a raging [[I am STRAIGHT|heterosexual]] libido just like all the other furries in the comic.

Consequentially, any attempt at character development fails miserably. Chris marks any change in character by indicating (in exposition, of course) something akin to "it just happened." With Blake, who arguably goes through the most stark change in character (an antagonist becoming a supporting character), there is absolutely no moral struggle or any build-up to the moment he defects to the side of good. His sudden infatuation with [[Bubbles]] (who beat him almost to death a few issues prior) and a brief, nonchalant mention of mistreatment at the hands of his [[Naitsirhc|master]] are all the reasons the reader is given for why Blake changed sides. Blake isn't even the worst offender, either; no reason is given for [[Wes Iseli]]'s defection to the enemy ''at all''. Despite last being seen as a rival to Chris, yet still ostensibly on his side, Wes is suddenly placed with the antagonists, long after seemingly becoming irrelevant in Chris's [[Chris and reality|reality]].

===Dialogue===
[[File:December3SNTVsSonichu.jpg|thumb|Try to put these speech bubbles in order.]]
Chris only uses dialogue as an expository device in his comics in the bluntest fashion possible. Chris feels the need to include extensive amounts of dialogue in his comic, resulting in textwalls that demand type so small that they often threaten to become illegible. Textwalling is Chris's preferred method of dictating the story as he means for it to be experienced by his reader. Chris has defended this practice due to feeling a "preference to elaborate, because some people rarely get visual references."<ref>[[Mailbag 19#Textwalling]]</ref> On a similar note, speech often includes hand-drawn emoticons to display what the speaker is feeling, affirming the notion that Chris doesn't believe that his artwork or dialogue alone can convey his ideas, in addition to his total ineptitude with emotions.

Even when not textwalling, Chris's dialogue is highly unnatural. He appears to have no grasp of voice, with nearly all his characters using the same stilted tone, verbosity, and [[CWC-isms]]. This can easily be seen in early issues, where the phrase "[[boyfriend-free girl]]" pops up from multiple characters. This may be a symptom of his lacking theory of mind: he believes that, since he talks in this fashion, so does everybody else. The heavy-handedness, stiltedness, and single-mindedness of his dialogue can be seen as symptomatic of Chris's [[autism]].

=== Plot and Drama ===
Chris's [[Chris and reality#Fantasy and Fiction|confused understanding]] of reality and fantasy affects his ability to write captivating fiction. Because Chris considers his creations to be "alive" in some parallel universe, he finds that giving them artificially happy and uncomplicated lives is satisfying, and assumes that his [[True and Loyal Fanbase|TRUE and LOYAL fanbase]] shares this interest.

Chris seeks to avoid tension or suspense that would trouble his creations and his intended audience wherever possible. Thus, he is unwilling to depict his characters in peril that is convincing, and therefore, "real," and wants to pair them off early and dwell on their long, idyllic romances. Villains tend to put up laughably little challenge, and the protagonists usually win with a show of devastating and effortless force. Virtually every fight ends with the heroes winning almost immediately and with little difficulty. Initially villains are allowed to posture about a little before Sonichu shows up to ruin their shit, but as the comic goes on and Chris comes into conflict with internet trolls, the battles become even ''shorter'' and ''less climactic'' for the sake of emphasis. Likewise, any instances emotional drama between characters are resolved immediately.

An early exception to the above can be found in Sub-Episodes [[Sonichu_4#Sub-Episode_7:_Christian_Chandler_in_.22Off-Target.22|#7 and #8]] in ''[[Sonichu 4]]'', in which Chris gets utterly curbstomped by [[Bagget]] and the [[Jerkops]] under his administration. Even then, Chris's defeat only really happened because ''no one was there to save him'', and was more or less made irrelevant with the arrival of [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|Crystal]]. The only time where a problem was resolved without an artificially cheery resolution was in [[Sonichu 11]], wherein [[Cera Rosechu]] fails to mend her relationship with [[Kevin the Jew]], though the character seems "over it" after crying a little about it.

Similarly, previews and allusions to the future always emphasize victory over the forces of evil. A vision of the PVCC attacking CWCville ends rather conclusively with Chris saying "Good, we've won!" A terse preview for the following issue completely dismantles all the tension in the only marginally dramatic plot arc: "Next issue I get out of the time void." His devotion to neutralising tension is such that in [[Sonichu 10]], Magi-Chan broke the fourth wall to prematurely reveal that he would eventually fall in love with Silvana, presumably so that readers would not have to worry about what would happen to them in the meantime. Even the worst writers would never use the words "spoiler alert" in one's own work (with experienced ones instead opting for foreshadowing), but Chris feels it necessary to spoil a yet-to-be-revealed plot point ''in the comic''.

As you might guess, on top of everything else, this makes the storyline for Sonichu '''unendurably boring.'''

Ironically, the sole exception to this rule is [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Chris himself]] - but even this treatment is baffling. As the activities of Comic-Chris are based on his Creator, he is unable to simply resolve Chris's [[Love Quest]] quickly and easily ([[Lovely Weather|but it doesn't stop him from trying]]). Thus, even while his doppelganger accumulates more and more superpowers and allies, he is still shown being curiously ineffectual, unable to handle [[W-M-Manajerk|most]] [[Wes Iseli|threats]] without help, and before long, his insipid romantic efforts have become the sole outstanding arc. However, this is less the result of Chris's skill at dramatic writing and more his lack of skill with love and life; that Comic-Chris fails even with every [[Yu-Gi-Oh|card]] stacked in his favor only reflects that the real one does, too, and whenever Chris thinks his Love Quest might be over in real life, he attempts to give it [[Wedding Comic|the typical easy resolution]] in the comics as well.

The actual plotting for Sonichu is problematic as well. Chris interjects new ideas very abruptly, and often with no real logic or progression, just because they caught his fancy. For instance, there's absolutely no reason for Chris to suddenly be using Yu-Gi-Oh cards and terms in [[Sonichu 5]]; he was just interested in them at the time he was writing it. There's no scene where Chris gets a magic deck of trading cards or anything to explain why he can suddenly cast spells. The same goes for [[Darkbind Sonichu]]; Chris was simply interested in The Legend of Zelda and Darkwing Duck at that time, and wanted to put the two franchises in his comic, and after publishing [[Sonichu 0]], Chris lost interest in the story and abandoned the story until [[Sonichu 10]]. When Chris loses interest in an idea he presents in his comic, he will resolve it in a quick and often unsatisfying manner. Characters once meant to enter the main cast, such as [[Ivy]], will then be killed (off-panel, no less) so that Chris can proceed to his next plotline of interest. Other dropped narrative threads (such as [[Megan Schroeder|Meg-chan]] or [[Blanca Weiss|Blanca]]) might only get a sentence or two tying up the loose end, and some (e.g. [[Jiggliami]]) are simply never referred to again.

The comic's narrative is yet further clouded by the unsteady rate at which Chris updates, along with his habit of occasionally working out of order. For example, Chris ends the last story in [[Sonichu 9]] with announcing that [[GodJesus]] had guided him to love with [[PandaHalo]] - only to have God and Jesus suddenly introduce him to Ivy in the very next issue with no explanation for why the Lord of Lords is backtracking on his dating advice to his favorite son.

When Chris adds something to a Sonichu comic due to the pressure of another party, he is known to make these additions unsatisfying on purpose for the parties requesting them. The most stupefying example may be the Time Void subplot. Written in after criticism that his alter-ego took up too much of the comic's time, Chris ''almost'' removes himself from the action for ''almost'' two issues, and when it unceremoniously ends, it just so happens to leave him ready to indulge in the most self-servicing revenge fantasy yet.

===Worldbuilding===

In a literary fantasy world, it is common to establish interesting details, backgrounds, and laws around the impossible things that happen inside it. This not only appeals to your average fantasy nerds [[autistic]] incline to hoard information, but it gives intrigue and context to the story and the plight of the characters. As for Chris laws would only limit the span of his power trips, one need only look at his visual backgrounds to gauge his interest in implementing thematic ones, and details hold as much meaning as his passing interest in them ie. yu-gi-oh battles showing up and fading out just as quick.

=== Visual Clarity ===
[[Image:SchuComic10P09.jpg|thumb|right|An example of Chris's mind-boggling ability to make a completely unreadable page, hosted by what appear to be [[Chris and Religion|Santa Claus and Chris with a beard.]]]]
[[Image:SchuComic9P92.jpg|thumb|left|Holy balls, try reading ''this''.]]
[[IMage:MSCPython.jpg|thumb|right|Witty banter is considerably less funny when it's blatantly ripped off ''and'' you have to follow the numbers.]]
[[File:Son11p17.jpg|thumb|15 years of drawing ''Sonichu'' comics and Chris still can't lay out dialog.]]
Like many children, Chris is unconcerned with making his work clear and easily read. Chris does not plan page layouts in advance, and instead draws panels one at a time, cramming however many he can onto the page and further harming his comic's visual clarity. He does not understand (or perhaps care) that word balloons and text boxes must be arranged left to right and top to bottom in the intended order in each panel, and that the panel's art must be set to accommodate that order. The dialogue flow in panels with multiple word balloons in Sonichu regularly must be pieced together from context clues by the reader. The worst example of this is seen below: Chris establishing a reading order by numbering lines of dialogue.

== Chris as a poet and lyricist ==
: ''See also: [[Chris and music]]''

{{quote|I’d lay her down caress her gently tickle her [[China|fancy]]; have her tickle my [[Duck|fancy]], and give it to her with the learned lonely experience I’ve endured.|Chris, expertly stirring feelings of both mild disgust and confusion<ref>For My True Love, I Would…</ref>}}

In poem and lyric, Chris has a poor understanding of the anatomy of an appealing composition. He mistakes exceedingly saccharine language for the romantic. He also pads out gaps with [[random-access humor]] and [[I Love Lucy|curiously dated language]].

He has total disregard for proper meter, and rhymes are forced with bizarre neologisms (''Rosey, as often as birds tweet/will you be my lovely heartsweet?''<ref>[[Sonichu's Ode to Rosechu]]</ref>). Sometimes he can't even manage to make it rhyme (''Heart-broken, sad and very lonely,/I may never remove my virginity''<ref>[[Saddest Heart in the World]]</ref>). The result is poetry that occupies the uncanny valley between metric and free-verse form.

Not even the Bard of Avon is safe from Chris. In [[Sub-Episode 3]], a famous line from ''{{w|Macbeth}}'' has a stupid couplet of Chris's making tacked on to its end (I shatter hearts as I please! I hurt them hard with the greatest of ease!<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_4/Page_20 Issue 4 Page 20]</ref>), while [[Bubbles]] mutilates a line from the ''{{w|The Tempest}}'' in ''[[Sonichu 8]]''.<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_8/Page_95 Issue 8 Page 95] (paraphrasing Miranda's famous line, "O brave new world, That has such people in't!")</ref> Needless to say, the contrast is not that hard to see.

== Chris as a journalist ==
[[Image:199-newsdsh.jpg|left|thumb|"Yellow journalism" gone oh so horribly wrong]]

''[[Nintendo Power Magazine]]'' was a publication released by [[Nintendo]] about Nintendo products. It sought to inform video game enthusiasts anything they might want to know about Nintendo products, and how they should feel about them. It is easily Chris's single greatest journalistic influence. To this day, he seeks to plainly tell the masses what the truth is and how we should feel about it.

Chris's first notable work of journalism is his final project in high school, [[A Week With Christian Chandler]]. It is a prime example of Chris's understanding of [[honesty]]: the only thing that could reflect poorly on him in his mind was the omission of any fact; Chris saw fit to document anything and everything that happened, including [[Honor roll|sleeping through class]]. At this early stage it seems that Chris was unwilling to massage the truth because he had yet to experience the disapproval of peers that concerned him, as the reactions of Internet trolls would later.

Chris's next journalistic effort came in [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|college]] with ''[[Sonichu's News Dash!]]'', which operated under the characteristic presumption that the details of his daily life were of inherent reader interest. Funnily enough, his style is reminiscent of {{w|Yellow journalism}}, being characterized by:

*Little regard for conventional journalistic ethics or consistency.
*[[Sonichu's News Dash#An indirect appeal to Mary|Scare headlines]] in huge print, often of [[Sonichu's News Dash#New Sonichu comics|minor news]].
*Lavish use of pictures, or imaginary drawings.
*Use of faked interviews, misleading headlines, pseudoscience, and [[Sonichu's News Dash#Chris's dating tips|a parade of false learning from so-called experts]].
*Emphasis on full-color Sunday [https://archive.sonichu.com/cwcville/SchusNews2.htm supplements], usually with comic strips.
*[[Ego|Conflicts of interest]]: Topics that affect the author directly, a big no-no in journalism (except in opinion pieces).
*Dramatic sympathy with the "underdog" [[Sonichu's News Dash#Chris on PowerWeb|against the system]].

Chris [[Ego|being Chris]] also incorporates elements from {{w|Tabloid journalism}}, such as:

*[[Mary Lee Walsh|Sensational crime stories]]
*Gossip columns about [[Christian Weston Chandler|celebrities]] and [[Bionic the Hedgehog|sport stars]]
*Junk food news

After watching Sachumo's [[Chris Chan Documentary (Sachumo)|Documentary]] about him, Chris gave his own ideas about the production of a similar piece. To the surprise of no one he wanted to focus [[Christian Weston Chandler...Yep, I'm on TV :)|more on the positives]], like the people whose lives have been made better by [[Trolls|interacting with him]].

== Chris as a blogger ==
{{quote|(Okay, so it looks like @[[instagram]] also has a character limit per post; I can still work with that.)|Chris in the middle of writing a wall of text.<ref>[[March 2021 social media posts#CWCisms and Tetris]]</ref>}}

Chris's blogging is a continuation of his ''News Dash!'' mentioned above. In a way, Chris's first and most frequently updated blog was [[CWC's Sonichu Site!‎|his web page]], in which he posted "updates" about his goings-on (such as they were; most updates were simply denouncements of [[Mary Lee Walsh|a certain Dean]]). The site, however, was not in what most people would consider a blog format; instead of archiving and replacing old content with newer material, Chris simply stuck new updates wherever he could find new space that day, resulting in an erratic and bizarre page layout. He also experimented with conventional blog formats, and the results were only marginally easier to read.

To this date Chris has had several actual blogs:
*[[PSN Blogs]]
*[[The OFFICIAL Sonichu & Rosechu Blog]]
*[[MySpace|A small MySpace Blog]]
*[[CWC Blog]]
*[[Twitter]]

The location may change, but the [[Autism|style is consistent and unmistakable]]. This may be linked to Chris not knowing exactly the purpose of a blog. Ideally, on a blog, one publishes one's opinions and [[Love Quest|experiences]] in a group setting, allowing constant meaningful communication. While Chris has no problems [[CWCipedia|sharing intimate details about his life]], he doesn't seem to get the communicative part. Blogs are just another place for him to spew truth and [[honesty]], as well as to try to incite action against his detractors.

Another arguably more important fault with Chris's blogging is that '''Chris's blogs are fucking boring'''. Successful bloggers post about their life in much the same way as anybody else, but they know that they need to keep it entertaining to read. While Chris did unintentionally cause the occasional [[PSN Blogs#31 July 2007 16:37 — PaRappin Reviews of the Top 10!|laugh]], most entries are outright [[CWC Blog#24 August 2009|annoying]].

Arguably the most notable blog ever made by Chris was the infamous [[PSN Blogs#4 August 2007 — Adam Stackhouse!!!|Adam Stackhouse blog]]. Seething with [[anger]], Chris showed that — just like with [[Wikipedia]] — he doesn't want to contribute, but enforce his beliefs on anyone who will listen.

{{quote|In any case, I LOATHE Adam and his Sister for STEALING my one chance at taking my Sweet Gal-Friend to Seattle; it would have been terriffic. I might have even been able to change her outlook on not planning on having children (she and I are both virgins; although I am a FRUSTRATED, High-Functionally AUTISTIC, 25-YEAR OLD VIRGIN. And I LOATHE Surybuchwald and Aprelewsky as well, because their MUSIC probably landed those [[JERKS]] in 2nd and 3rd.|Chris, demonstrating his able skills as net citizen}}

==Chris as an essayist==
{{Main|Manchester High Leaks}}

While in [[Manchester High School|high school]], Chris was persuaded to stop napping long enough to write [[Manchester High Leaks|several graded essays]]. The lessons he failed to learn from these experiences continue to influence his prose style. Chris's education in essay-writing seems to have been limited to the basic five-paragraph essay. Chris was trained to think of the intro paragraph as the "appetizer"; the body paragraphs, respectively, as "veggie", "potatoes/rice/pasta" and "meat"; and the conclusion as "dessert" ([[Obesity|anything related to food seems to reach Chris]]). Despite having such a sophisticated structural apparatus at his disposal, Chris's essays were shallow and incoherent (in part this was a product of the assignment restrictions – his essay "Work vs. Student Life", for example, was only 100 words long, which even for a competent writer is unusually strict). His history essay "Japan, 1912-1949", which appears to be his first foray into the genre, lacks a clear thesis sentence, well-organized body paragraphs, or a meaningful conclusion (not to mention using WWI sources in points about WWII). His teacher understandably deemed it "very confusing & unclear". Another history essay, "Who was our best President?", does a better job of segregating main ideas within the three body paragraphs, but remains extremely rigid and rote. His "Canterbury Tales" essay has no real structure at all and simply retells one of Chaucer's morality tales in a rambling narrative. For this assignment, he received only two out of ten points for "Clarity of Expression."

These limitations and oversights have carried over into what nonfiction writing Chris has done as an adult. Nearly all of his nonfiction prose has been autobiographical (and what fiction he writes generally involves [[The High School Story|suspiciously familiar material]]). The only real exception has been "Chris Chan's Heroic Dream for Our Community NOW and in the Future",<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Dating_Education CWCipedia article|CWCipedia]</ref> his clarion call for [[Dating education|Dating Education]], which he submitted to a contest in 2009. Here there is nothing to suggest that Chris ever learned even the basics of essay writing, with its buried thesis, its unsupported paragraphs, its idiosyncratic capitalization, and a fucking frowny face. Chris's essays about his favorite subject – himself – similarly show little regard for writing standards. "Story of My Current Days" has a thesis of sorts, but the body is simply a clumsily-structured retelling of events which Chris expects the reader to glean meaning from without any assistance from him. His much expanded [[Chris's Wikipedia profile|Wikipedia profile]] has a self-serving thesis and is helpfully carved into subheadings, but remains fluid and disjointed. The several essays he wrote for the [[CWCipedia]] share the same first-draft problems of sentence-long paragraphs and an unappealing potpourri of boldface, italics, and capitalization.

== Chris's reading habits ==

Anyone who wants to be a good writer must be well-read. It's one of the most natural ways to become acquainted with good style, the elements of a plot, and correct spelling. Chris's [[Chris and his ego|ego]] is so inflated that he thinks he can produce something [[Honor roll|brilliant]] with no effort whatsoever. The only books Chris has ever been seen reading voluntarily are paperback ''Goosebumps'' and ''Fear Street'' novels by [[R.L. Stine]] which are notable only for their sheer mediocrity. Chris read these books, which were written for elementary schoolers, well into high school. In terms of the readings he was assigned at [[Manchester High School|Manchester High School]], Chris retained only a superficial understanding of them. During the [[Father Call]], Chris said that he read ''{{w|To Kill a Mockingbird}}'' a mere month prior, which in all likelihood he only mentioned because it was assigned in high school. This was almost instantly proven false when he confused it with ''[[wikipedia:Of Mice and Men|Of Mice and Men]]'', another high school assignment. The [[Manchester High Leaks|high school essay]] he wrote about a selection from [[wikipedia:Geoffrey Chaucer|Geoffrey Chaucer]]'s ''[[wikipedia:The Canterbury Tales|Canterbury Tales]]'' earned only a 69%.

Chris and copyright

2023-03-28T17:49:11Z

Crinja404:

[[Image:SonichuCertificate.jpg|thumb|Chris's copyright registration certificate.]]
[[File:Troll_lawyers.jpg|thumb|Chris telling some trolling stupid corporate lawyers that he owns the rights to Sonichu.]]
{{Quote|...anyone using my characters and all Without My Consent are Criminals, and such people should be reported to the [[Jerkop|Police]] immediately.|[[Chris]]|[[CWCipedia]]'s Copyright page<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20161007104757/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=CWCipedia:Copyrights</ref>}}

As with many things, Chris has a very limited understanding of '''copyright''' and how it's enforced. He is vaguely aware of what it is: some sort of a legal right that creators of things have that lets these creators to tell others what they can and can't do – a very [[naïve]] view, though not entirely incorrect.

==Sonichu as a copyrightable work==
[[Image:116-CWCCop.jpg|thumb|right|180px|[[Take that Page DOWN NOW!|Too many CROOKS!]]]]

Chris really only had one real firsthand experience on the copyright questions that formed the basis of everything that followed. While working on a school project that required making a [[Christian's Favorite Hits!|CD cover]], his teacher successfully explained to him that [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Pokémon|Pikachu]] are characters created by others, and he has no right to use them and has to create something original instead. Chris reacted to this by creating an "original" combination of the two characters, and thus [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] was born. In the [[Father Call]], he also says the teacher told him he had been in the clear with the beginning as far as copyright is concerned. However, the fact that the teacher (unwisely) accepted Sonichu as original cemented Chris's vague understanding of the [[Chris and the Law|law]], and now Chris is simply unwilling to learn the truth. In his mind, mashing together two different characters and "[[CWC - Hand Drawn Original|<nowiki>[putting]</nowiki> a little C-In-A-Circle and <nowiki>[his]</nowiki> John Hancock]]" creates completely new intellectual property that is his and his alone.

In reality, any work that uses previously copyrighted work as a basis is a derivative work. This means that while it may have substantial original elements that the creator definitely holds a copyright on, it cannot be published or distributed without the permission of the original copyright holders. The reality isn't ''entirely'' clear-cut, however, and there are several exceptions to this rule, both well-understood ({{w|Fair use|Fair Use doctrine}}, which allows limited use of copyrighted material for journalistic and scholarly purposes) and less well understood (there's an ongoing debate about the emerging copyright issues like digital rights and the remixing arts).

Unfortunately for Chris, Sonichu is a fairly clear-cut case of a derivative work. While the character design itself has ''some'' originality despite its blatantly derivative style (and as such might have passed the teacher's inspection), as far as backstory is concerned, Sonichu explicitly said to be a fusion of two existing characters - by Chris as its creator and in the comic story itself.

Fundamentally, Chris wanted [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]]; if they are just some made-up characters and ''not'' Pokémon, they just aren't ''true'' enough for him. Unfortunately, Chris doesn't understand that such "made-up" characters are how people ''define'' creativity. Many creators do indeed borrow ideas from another work to create inspiration for original stories and concepts. Had Chris took inspiration from Pokemon and Sonic and made his original creations that isn't mish-mashed together, it would be fine. However, the Sonichu comic makes copious usage of concepts from the Sonic and Pokemon franchises (as well as myriad others), meaning anything Chris does to profit from Sonichu renders him liable to be sued.

This would be harmless enough if he weren't actually profiting from it, but [[Chris and business|for two years he was]], and if any of the franchises he has plagiarized from had decided to pursue legal action, Chris would have been torn to shreds in court. Fortunately for Chris, an autistic moron hocking products on [[Etsy]] was unlikely to incur the wrath of a major multinational company; the worst he's likely to receive is a {{w|Cease and desist|cessation demand}}.

===Ban from Lulu===

Chris was banned from the self-publishing site [[Lulu]] in [[December 2015]] since the staff recognized that Sonichu is a piece of fan fiction. The sting of an actual business calling him out on the truth seemed to finally impress upon him the impossibility of defending Sonichu as an original work.

More than a year after the ban, Chris continued to scapegoat Lulu to explain why he was unwilling to work on [[Sonichu 11|the comic he had been paid over $1,000 to do]], saying in January 2017 that "the pester of "legality" questions and disputings in my creations and work" is the biggest reason that caused him to have an "inability to feel like drawing and writing the stories.<ref>[[January 2017 Facebook Posts#Inability to feel like drawing and writing the stories]]</ref>"

== Chris as an enforcer of rights ==
[[Image:117-CWCSonichuLeer.jpg|thumb|right|[[Creepy stare|Don't look right into their eyes.]]]]
Chris is very paranoid regarding his copyright, and will frequently [[CWC Public Disclaimer|hand out all of his personal information to complete strangers]] if he thinks it is being contested. This has backfired in a number of ways.

Chris has encouraged people to report copyright infringements to the [[jerkop|police]]. The police, unfortunately, can't do much when random citizens report civil offenses such as copyright infringement. Even if Chris ''had'' the rights to the works in question, suing people for copyright infringement would be Chris's job and his job alone, or that of a representative whom he has specifically appointed to that specific task.

Unsurprisingly, Chris is a [[Chris and hypocrisy|total hypocrite]] when it comes to abusing the work of other creators. In the space of 13½ issues, [[Things Chris has ripped off|Chris pulled characters and concepts from innumerable franchises]] and even went so far as to steal "original" characters from fans and [[sweethearts]] with little respect shown to their creators. He's even had the balls to take [[Asperchu|another creator's characters]], [[Mitch Sonichu|alter them]] and demand that thenceforth they be portrayed the way ''he'' has made them in the original material. Despite how firmly Chris holds on to his views of copyright when directly challenged on why it's okay for him to rip things off but not for other people to do the same to Sonichu, he's unable to think of a response.<ref>[[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 9]]</ref>

Furthermore, Chris refuses to listen to the original creators of these "original" characters when they ask to have their characters removed. The best example would be the fight between [[Evan]] and Chris over the character [[Simonla Rosechu]], a ripoff of Evan's original character Simonchu. When Evan demanded that Chris remove Simonla from the comics in an on-page death, Chris refused because ''it would take [[Wild Sonichu]]'s girlfriend away''. As time went on, Chris fought tooth and nail to keep Simonla in, going so far as to write out a scenario where Simonchu is told to tell Evan that Simonla likes [[CWCville]]. In the end, it took two shutdowns of the CWCipedia for Chris to finally surrender and kill off Simonla, and he just resurrected her a few years later anyway.

===Licensing and terms of use===

The {{w|MediaWiki}} software used on [[CWCipedia]] had various built-in settings for content licensing. During installation, MediaWiki defaults to {{w|GNU Free Documentation License}}, which states that the content can be reused elsewhere for any purpose, as long as proper copyright holder attribution and license references are given.

On 6 [[September 2009]], a fan wrote to Chris and thanked him for allowing this reuse, which provoked an uncharacteristically swift response from Chris, demanding WikiSysop not-so-politely to remove the obviously erroneous "GDU FDL" license.<ref>[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#The License on the bottom of my Cwcipedia (WS)|Chris's message to WikiSysop]]</ref>

This prompted Chris to write his own [https://web.archive.org/web/20111029204347/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=CWCipedia:Copyrights Copyrights] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20151216163433/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Terms_of_use Terms of use] pages.

The legal problems caused by Chris's terms are detailed elsewhere in this article. The Terms of Use are even weirder:

* ''"Any and All Visually Grotesque, Shocking and Offensive works will be Immediately Deleted and NOT be uploaded, or seen ever again; NO RESUBMISSIONS ALLOWED of such pieces."''
* ''ALL letters addressed to any NAME other than "Christian Weston Chandler" or "Christopher Weston Chandler", will be Immediately disposed of with Paper Recyling, or be "Returned to Sender" with a frown face on it. ALL Visually Grotesque, Shocking and Offensive art works and letters will be disposed of properly as well."''
* Fan sites should be pre-approved by Chris.
* Sending spam to Sega and Nintendo about making official Sonichu games is apparently part of Terms of Use.

===Copyright registration===
It appears that Chris has actually paid US$45, and somehow got [http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=1&ti=1,1&Search%5FArg=Sonichu&Search%5FCode=TALL&CNT=10&PID=ZvDUHHsi-vkzrRWQU2p5oLpU7yxe&SEQ=20091106120549&SID=1 Sonichu approved by the United States Copyright Office]. On 12 [[November 2009]], he also posted a scan of the confirmation letter he received to [[CWCipedia]] and posted a highly predictable [[Red Letter CWC Certified Day|my-Heart-Level-just-went-to-100%-again video]].

Psychologically, this copyright registration represents a big win for Chris, because it gives him what he thinks are bragging rights, even though he has no idea what the copyright registration ''actually'' means. Copyright registration isn't an official recognition of copyright, however. Copyrights are granted automatically, and copyright registrations are only an official assertion that a specific work has been created at a specific date by the registrant; the registrations are only needed when suing another party for copyright infringement. It is also not a registration of a ''trademark''; Chris has no special rights for the name "Sonichu" itself. Finally, Chris made a critical mistake in filing the registration application: he described Sonichu as a "work for hire" in the apparent belief that this meant that the comic was his primary occupation, when it {{w|Work for hire|really means}} that he created it on behalf of someone else, who is considered the creator for legal purposes.
It should also be noted that the United States Copyright Office does not check whether or not a registrant's work is infringing.

If Nintendo or Sega were to sue Chris they would easily win; it's clear that they hold the rights to original characters like Sonic and Pikachu and Chris's work is derivative thereof.

'''IN SHORT:''' Chris's copyright registration doesn't mean his comics aren't non-infringing, nor does it effectively protect his own intellectual property.

=== Use of copyright notices ===
The way Chris maintains his so-called copyrights within his works is also baffling. It's possible he goes by the assumption that almost everything he draws must contain copious copyright notices, usually in a large disclaimer:

{{quote|© Christian Weston Chandler, March [[2000]]-????}}

It's worth noting that Chris obsessively includes copyright symbols in pictures he draws of Sonichu, including a picture he drew in the snow in his [[Holiday Greetings]] video and a doodle he drew on his ticket to the [[2005]] [[Anime Mid-Atlantic]] convention.

However, only daily newspaper comic strips have constant notices reminding about copyright due to their daily nature. In most forms of media throughout the world, one copyright notice at the beginning of the work is enough to assert rights, and only the year is noted in a copyright notice.

Finally, the year of the creation of the ''specific'' work in question should be noted in the copyright notice; for example [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] should be "''© 2009-2010 CWC''". If Chris would want to specifically emphasize that Sonichu, in general, has existed since March 2000, he'd need to do so in an additional copyright notice (e.g. "''Sonichu'' #10 © 2009-2010 CWC. Sonichu character © CWC, March 2000.")

===Christian's On the Lookout!===
Long before his discovery by the trolls, Chris created a webpage called '''Christian's On the Lookout!''' which linked to his main [[CWC's Sonichu Site!|Sonichu site]]. Chris made the site no later than May 2006. Exactly how he used the site is not clear, especially since his main site did not link to this page. Chris's paranoia and arrogance regarding his copyright are on full display here.

{{quotebox|
'''A Message for all who are out to use the Sonichu Name!'''

From Christian Weston Chandler,

Original Creator of Sonichu, and related characters and materials.

I just want to inform all persons, fans of Sonichu or otherwise, that Sonichu was originally Created on March 17, 2000, and I have a copyright on my faithful Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon. I am very proud to share my Sonichu with the people who appreciate my creativity in Sonichu's world.

I often do a "Search" of "Sonichu," and, currently, and I only want to see links to my Sonichu Site, or related sites. If I see links to websites with any person who has used his name, I will view it. If I should see the "Sonichu" name used to describe any character, other than my original Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon, I will send you an E-Mail to inform you if you have intruded into '''Copyrighted territory''', and request that you remove the name from your website, or forum entry, and change it to something else. If, however, you do not abide to the request, or not reply to the E-mail within 14 days, I may take legal action against you.

I am not a mean person, and I am not out to start any trouble, so [[Chris and religion|please do not use the Sonichu name in vain]]. If, however, you would like to create a fan website to describe my Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon, please send me an E-Mail to CWCSonichu@aol.com with information, and link, about your fan site. I will view your fan site, and if I like it, I, Christian Weston Chandler, will send you an approval E-Mail. And you may keep your website up on the web. If I find it offensive, I, Christian Weston Chandler, will send you an E-mail asking you to either change the content to something else, or remove the website from the web.

Also, if you would like to see Sonichu as a real video game, or catch him in a Pokemon title, please send your request to Nintendo of America, inc., or ''Nintendo Power'' magazine; please raise the hype on Sonichu so that I will be able to legally talk to the people of Nintendo of America, inc., and make a deal.

[[Chris and reality|Sonichu and I]], Christian Weston Chandler, thank you for following the Legal Guidelines expressed here. I sincerely hope that you enjoy the stories of my Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon. And I also hope that you will voice your hype and interest about Sonichu, and my world of [[Cwcville]], to Nintendo of America, inc., so Sonichu can become a video game, cartoon (or anime), and all that other neat stuff.

Have a Zappin' Day!

This has been a message from Christian Weston Chandler, Original Creator of Sonichu.

All Sonichu Material is Copyrighted, March 2000-2005 by Christian Weston Chandler}}

===Chris's motivations===
In any case, Chris doesn't really care so much about what his copyright registration means and what it might or might not be good for, practically speaking. To him, it's mainly just a crutch for his ego. In the aftermath of his feud with [[Liquid Chris]], he sees it as the final and clinching proof that he himself is the TRUE and ORIGINAL creator of Sonichu. On 26 [[November 2009]], he posted the following as part of an announcement on [[CWCipedia]], which is quite illuminating:

{{quotebox|Also, I have been thinking, although all Sonichu "Merchandise" sold online in the past I have labeled false; I did that, because it came as a surprise to me then, I felt outraged appropriately (most everyone can relate to that; it's comparable to if {{w|Godzilla}} or Clover [the {{w|Cloverfield}} monster] came to YOUR Metropolis and suddenly attacked your city). I realize now that even though it is still considerably Not Official, it all still is an homage to my creation. So I will make it clear to ALL those Vendors.

As long as it is NOT printed copies of my books' pages, or bootlegged copies of my "[[Christian Weston Chandler, Yep, I'm On T.V.]]" DVD, AND As Long As I am quoted on ALL websites' and vendors' locations as Original Creator of [[Sonichu]], [[Rosechu]], [[Cwcville]] and all of such, I, Christian Weston Chandler, approve of such merchandise from Day Forward. At least to give you all, my patient, loyal [[Fans]] and [[Troll]]s, something to quell your pallets [''sic''] until Official Merchandise is sold in Official Stores such as Toys 'R' Us, [[GameStop]], [[Best Buy]], [[Wal-Mart]], etcetera and such.

[[Chris and ego|I have spoken]], and I wish everyone a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

--ChrisChanSonichu 02:17, 26 [[November 2009]] (CET)}}

In other words, Chris doesn't really care if other people use his supposed intellectual property, so long as he's the one that gets the credit, not some impostor in brown stripes. The idea expressed here is not unlike that in the {{w|Creative Commons}} Attribution license.

===Patreon leaks===

Since Chris began using [[Patreon]] for donations in exchange for his continued work on [[Sonichu 11]] and beyond, he has had, for the first time, an actual financial incentive to enforce the copyright of his work. Chris announced that he would initially release Sonichu 11 only to Patreon supporters, and this plan seemed to go off without a hitch until several [[White knight|patrons]] leaked the exclusive pages that Chris had released so far, then [[Weening|notified Chris]] in his YouTube comments.

Chris took swift action to protect his only source of income besides his [[Monthly Tugboat]]. In [[CLog 06142017]], Chris begins by denouncing the leakers and comparing their actions (leaking the comic pages early) to the physical theft of purses and cell phones. However, Chris's copyright continues to be completely unenforceable, and it is almost certain that future patron pages will be leaked as well.

Interestingly, Chris's intentions to keep future Sonichu pages exclusive to his patrons could be considered a form of [[Chris and the law|fraud]], as [[DStecks]] already paid Chris ''$1000'' in [[September 2015]] to make 100 pages of Sonichu, which, according to Chris's page count estimate in [[CLog 06232017]], would cover the vast majority of the volume to be released.

==Chris's views==
{{main|Parody}}
Chris is ''very'' protective of his characters. Chris believes that his characters are official "parodies", thus, he is allowed to create his multimedia empire on a legal loophole. What Chris fails to realize is that parodies are essentially mockeries of something they're based on, done for laughs or as a commentary on the original work. According to the {{w|Supreme Court of the United States|US Supreme Court}}, parody "is the use of some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author's works." So if Chris was, say, making commentary on commercialization by making a pastiche of what was popular at the time, it would be fine. The fact that it is a parody and not plagiarism must also be made obvious.

Sonichu and Rosechu are ''not'' parodies, just shitty recolors. Chris doesn't mean to make fun of the characters they're based on, nor make commentary of them. He slavishly imitates the kind of adventures they have in an attempt to tell his own stories. Even his most original characters are either based on [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|someone he knows]] or [[Flame the Sunbird|are cribbed extensively from existing characters]].

Chris plans for [[Sonichu 13]] to be a crossover between his comic universe and the characters of the popular "Planet Dolan" YouTube channel. Much like Nintendo and (formerly) Sega, the producers of the channel likely have never heard of Sonichu, much less gave Chris permission to use their characters. Assuming Chris actually makes #13, Chris will likely offer a similar "parody" defense to his ''direct'' use of someone else's intellectual property. This is no longer the case as Chris has been blocked by pretty much all of Planet Dolan Cast.

In his disclaimer at the beginning of [[Sonichu 16|''Sonichu'' #16]], Chris revealed a new outlook on copyright law, made even more incoherent by the influence of the [[Idea Guys]] and his crumbling sense of [[Chris and reality|reality]]:

{{quotebox|Despite what this world's "Legalities" are, All of the events in this book HAS happened not only in in Cwcville and Equestria and Canterlot High School, BUT EVERYWHERE ELSE in that SAME Dimension where all of our "Fictional" Characters and Individuals DO Exist and Co-Exist. So, EVENTS where Bowser, Dr. Eggman, and even Voldemort WORK Together for a common goal of overtaking lands and worlds; That CAN Happen. So, in a Passive-Agressive statement, and a fair and just warning, I say to those Fat Cat Legal People of This World: ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, and WHEN ALL of those evils attempt something in THIS WORLD, and someone Writes and Draws EVERY SINGLE DETAIL about it in Chronicling it all, DO NOT EVEN ENCOURAGE COPYRIGHT/TRADEMARK LAWSUITS, AT ALL.}}

Many of Chris's "songs" from his old [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] project have been taken down on YouTube for copyright. If Chris knew this, he would likely argue that his songs are "parodies" and thus Fair Use. The problem is that Chris's songs aren't parodies, nor they are reviewing the said songs, nor are they just covers with an instrumental version of the original song playing in the background. Just like how Sonichu and Rosechu are recolors and not parodies, Chris's songs are just rewrites of the originals with said original drowning out most of his voice.

Even if Chris's songs were legitimate parodies, he would still need to create his own instrumental since the song recording itself is copyrighted. Most professional parody artists (including Weird Al) hire backing bands. Weird Al also asks the original artists for their permission, because simply changing the words to a song doesn't make it a legitimate parody – there has to be some kind of criticism, and singing about food or [[boyfriend-free girl]]s doesn't criticize the song itself. Words alone don't define copyright, and changing them will not get you out of a musical plagiarism lawsuit.

==Fanart==

Chris believes he has the right to use any fanart depicting a ''Sonichu'' character for his own purposes. A key example is his banner for [[Patreon]] and YouTube, which uses another person's fanart of Sonichu and Rosechu<ref>https://gabmonteiro9389.deviantart.com/art/Sonichu-Rosechu-Wild-and-Angelica-artwork-293015701</ref>, even though the accounts are meant to showcase his own work, and he has not given credit to the original artist.

{{quote|It’s a lovely piece of art, I am not stealing it, I am using it in full appreciation of the artist that drew it, as much as possible.

And, it doesn’t matter: it has Sonichu and Rosechu; they both, all the others and the city of Cwcville, are mine, regardless.|Chris, responding to a fan's accusation of plagiarism<ref>[[September 2017 tweets#Chris attempts to justify stealing from fanartists]]</ref>}}

Power Rangers

[[File:Autism Rangers.jpg|thumb|400px|IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!]]
'''''Power Rangers''''' is a multi-decade spanning franchise that adapted the Japanese [[Wikipedia:tokusatsu|tokusatsu]] ''[[Wikipedia:Super Sentai|Super Sentai]]'' series for Western viewers. Debuting on Fox Kids, and produced by Saban Entertainment (with the original ''Sentai'' shows produced by Toei and Bandai), the show centers around a spandex-sporting team of teenagers armed with sophisticated weaponry, gadgets, and giant machines that combine into even bigger machines, who fight aliens and monsters. It was a smash hit when it first aired in the early [[1990's]], and while most of the children who enjoyed the original series have long since grown up, new seasons continue to be produced by Hasbro.

And just like everything else, [[Chris]] got his grubby little hands on them.

== Power Rangers and Chris ==
Not much is known about how much Chris enjoyed the Power Rangers franchise, though it is known that Chris prefers the original ''[[Wikipedia:Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' over the newer series...

{{quote|REVIVE ZORDON AND GET THE POWER RANGERS BACK TOGETHER, WHICH WAS MOST AWESOME!!! (COMPARED TO TODAY'S [[Chris and censorship|C***PY]] "POWER RANGERS")|Excerpt from the [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys (band)|Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] single "[[Revive Zordon]]", as depicted in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]}}

Ever clouded by [[nostalgia]], Chris is likely either [[naïve|unaware]] that such a reunion would be impossible due to the tragic deaths of [[Wikipedia:Thuy Trang|Thuy Trang]], the original Yellow Ranger, in [[2001]] and [[Wikipedia:Jason David Frank|Jason David Frank]], the original Green Ranger, in 2022. It also didn't help that [[Wikipedia:David Yost|David Yost]], who played Billy Cranston (aka the first Blue Ranger) regrets ever being in the series in the first place because of alleged harassment over his [[homos|sexuality]].

Shockingly enough, Chris did get his wish of the original Power Rangers getting back together. Surprisingly in September 30, 2022, David Yost and Walter Jones (who played the first Black Ranger), announced a special called Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always for [[Netflix|Netflix]] that will celebrate the franchise's 30th-anniversary set for release in 2023. Netflix will not bring back [[Wikipedia:Austin St. John|Austin St. John]], who played the original Red Ranger, or [[Wikipedia:Amy Jo Johnson|Amy Jo Johnson]], who played the original Pink Ranger. Instead Steve Cardenas, Catherine Sutherland, and Karan Ashley who played the second red, pink, and yellow rangers respectively will take their place. It is certain that Chris will not be able to view the special, given his [[Jail Saga|recent endeavors]]...

On [[The Wall of Originals]], two hand-made Trainer cards are devoted to the series. The first is a card devoted to [[Wikipedia:Bulk and Skull|Bulk and Skull]], the two [[Trolls|dimwitted bullies]] from the original series who served as effective comic relief.<ref>[[:Image:379-Bulk.jpg]]</ref> The second is a [[Sonichu]] Zord, predating the existence of [[Son-Chu]] by at least nine years. It seems that Chris attempted to make this Sonichu Zord like the popular White Tigerzord,<ref>https://powerrangers.fandom.com/White_Tigerzord#Additional_Formations</ref> but looks less like a transforming machine and more like a whacky villain of the week that would appear in the show. Chris depicts Sonichu's head slapped on its chest, with a dull gray robot head popping up in the first head's place, and its tail being used as a sword.<ref>[[:Image:224-SchuZord.jpg]]</ref> Needless to say, it fails horribly.

== Power Rangers in ''Sonichu'' ==
[[Image:KartMegazord.jpg|thumb|right|The Kart Megazord - seriously, what the hell?]]
In the [[CWCipedia]]'s article on the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]], it is mentioned that Chris was once a member of a Power Rangers team, despite the fact that all the other teams have been from California or outer space. In fact, [[Chris and his Ego|he was the team's leader!]]

It doesn't mention who he fought or what he fought or even what powers he used, but it is said he piloted a go-kart(?) that was "sleek like an [[Wikipedia:Star Fox (series)#Arwing|Arwing]]" and was the head of the so-called Kart Megazord. Sadly (for our sake), Chris disbanded the team before his graduation, but soon installed a new, younger team to take the reins.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170803073843/https://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Private_villa_of_corrupted_citizens</ref>

(As an interesting aside, Chris pretty much [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripped off]] the go-kart vehicles, the "Kart Megazord" and the graduation disbanding and reforming from one of the earlier seasons of the TV show, namely ''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers Turbo|Power Rangers Turbo]]'', the American version of ''[[Wikipedia:Gekisou Sentai Carranger|Gekisou Sentai Carranger]]''.)

In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Allison Amber]] calls in the Power Rangers to fend off an attack by [[Slaweel Ryam]] (or possibly [[CChanSonichuCWC|Liquid Chris]]). The next panel depicts several people rushing off in ridiculous-looking cars. If these are indeed the Power Rangers, they have yet to be seen again.<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_9/Page_43 Sonichu 9 p.43]</ref> Near the end of the story, the Kart Megazord makes an appearance, with [[Magi-Chan]] telling Sonichu and Rosechu that the team, now known as the CWC-Power Rangers, used their Megazord to defeat the giant [[B-Manajerk]] and the [[Merried Seinor Comic]]. <ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_9/Page_92 Sonichu 9 p.92]</ref>

In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], to drive those inside the [[4-cent_garbage.com]] Tower out, Chris and the Hedgehog Boys play a song entitled "[[Revive Zordon]]". This [[Chris and music|excellent]] song (which is sung to the tune of [[Wikipedia:Ted Nugent|Ted Nugent]]'s "[[Wikipedia:Cat Scratch Fever (song)|Cat Scratch Fever]]", of all things) features lyrics written by Christian himself. In it, the band laments that the character [[Wikipedia:Zordon|Zordon]] was killed off at the very end of ''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers in Space|Power Rangers in Space]]'', and demands that he be brought back. The song also serves as a rant against "today's c***py ''Power Rangers''".

Interestingly enough, a few of Chris's other creations seem to derive themselves from various Power Ranger-based villains. The design of [[Samurai Pizza Bots]] character Excelina seems to be cribbed from [[Wikipedia:Machine Empire#Princess Archerina|Princess Archerina]], a minor villain from ''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers Zeo|Power Rangers Zeo]]''. The most surprising is that [[Silvana]]'s design and origin is directly stolen from [[Wikipedia:Karone|Karone/Astronema]], a major villain turned hero in ''Power Rangers in Space'' who ended up becoming a Ranger herself in ''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|Power Rangers Lost Galaxy]]''.

{{Quote|You think I DENY MY OWN MISTAKES, ERRORS and ORDEALS? YOU CAN GO COUNT YOUR OWN [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha|CURSES]] AND SEE HOW THEY OUTWEIGH YOUR OWN BLESSINGS.

My versions, "Peace or Worry; Fight or Flee; Strong Will or Mistaken Impulses; Draw your Fated-to-Die Sweetheart Alive or Dead; Fact or Fiction...etc., etc., etc....

'''''Saw''''' is a horror movie franchise comprised of ten films, often referred to as "torture porn", as a prominent aspect of the franchise's storyline involves characters being forced to partake in extremely dangerous and painful 'traps', often dying as a result. Given Chris's general fondness for juvenile entertainment like [[My Little Pony]], ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' and [[Lego]]s, it's somewhat jarring to learn that one of his favorite film series involves explicit scenes of sadistic torture and murder. He appears to take comfort in the fact that the violence and pain depicted [[Chris and reality|are not real, just "Hollywood Magic."]]<ref>[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence]]</ref><ref>[[Jackie E-mails 4]]</ref>

==Mentions==
*In [[Mumble 4]], when [[Clyde Cash]] insisted that Chris sell or destroy most of his clutter to prove his worth to [[Julie]], Chris compared the situation to ''Saw III'', where a man had to burn his murdered son's toys in order to free the judge who only gave the boy's killer a year in prison.
*In [[Mumble 6]], Chris talks about ''Saw''.
*In [[Common Questions]], he listed the ''Saw'' movies among his favorites, along with such tame fare as ''[[Mary Poppins]]'', ''[[Transformers]]'', ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' and ''[[Virgin with rage|The 40-Year-Old Virgin]]''.

*One of his video ideas for [[Jackie]] was ''"I also have an idea for pretending to be [[Wikipedia:Billy (Saw)|jigsaw's dummy]], and addressing myself in a scenario where I was put into one of his traps.

**[[Sean]] is hung by his wrists in a room where [[Bill the Scientist]], [[Allison Amber]] and [[Kel]] shoot him dead as "target practice."
**Chris breaks [[Mao]] with his psychic powers, twisting his legs at unnatural angles before exploding his heart, without any remorse or justification of why, even noting that "his amends have been made" for doing so.
**[[Alec]]'s electrocution is relatively painless, but it is performed by those he has "wronged."

==Alec==
Chris and [[Alec]] had a rather bizarre discussion of ''Saw'' and the murder of fictional characters on 8 [[February 2010]].<ref>[[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8]]</ref> Chris had criticized ''[[Asperchu]]'' for its graphic violence.<ref>[[Twitter]]</ref>

'''Chris:''' Yes, well, well, yeah, they are bad, because that's just totally fake. And plus, to do it in such a gory way is just terrifying. It's like any, it's like any of the ''Saw'' movies. It's especially like, especially like the first trap in ''Saw VI''.

'''Alec:''' Did you like those movies?

'''Chris:''' That was horrifying.

'''Alec:''' Did you like those movies, Chris? The ''Saw'' movies?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, I liked them, I mean I enjoyed the falling, the telling...

'''Alec:''' [''talking over Chris''] You liked them? But there's death in it! How could you like a movie that has death in it, Chris?! Death is bad. You said death is bad.

'''Chris:''' Well, I'm not talking about...

'''Alec:''' Death is bad.

'''Chris:''' I'm not saying, I mean, yeah, I'm not talking about the death part, I did not say I liked the death parts, I liked the building of the character of [[Wikipedia:Jigsaw (Saw)|John Kramer]]. In the movies.

'''Alec:''' But the point is, you still liked the movies overall, right? I mean, you went to see them, you'd probably see them again?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, I mean, yeah, they were hor-, yeah, I mean, I will admit they are horrifying, and they do frighten me, but think about, but think about, think about...

'''Alec:''' Hence the genre, horror, if it's horrifying it's doing its job, I guess.

'''Chris:''' Hm. Yeah, but I mean, still, that's Hollywood magic, you know, that's, you know, the people, the actors in those movies are still, are still alive and well, they just...

'''Alec:''' Oh, well, right, I forgot, [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 2|because comic characters are real people]] and apparently I'm guilty of, of multiple homicide now? Chris, you, remember when you killed [[Simonla]] because we strong-armed you into it, because you refused to do it willingly? Are you guilty of homicide now? Because you killed Simonla?

'''Chris:''' No, actually, that would, actually, you could blame the Voltorb that was placed by the toilet, placed by the toilet that exploded. Because the Voltorb exploded, it blew up the...

'''Alec:''' Chris, you drew the Voltorb. You drew the Voltorb! Chris, you knew Simonla was going to die! You knew there was going to be a Voltorb there and you did nothing to stop it! You are an accessory to murder! Who cares if someone else placed it? You knew, of course you knew she was going to die because I've been telling you for weeks to kill her.

Asperchu

2023-03-17T23:07:10Z

Crinja404:

{{Troll|In spite of his testimony to the contrary, Alec created ''Asperchu'' as a parody of ''Sonichu'' and all the lore associated with Chris-Chan. He also played [[Jackie]] and [[Jackie#Lars|Lars]].}}
[[File:Alec Benson Leary.jpg|thumbnail|right|Alec Benson Leary, in the flesh.]]

:''This article discusses the award-winning comic series '''''Asperchu''''' and its relationship with [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]. For information about the ''Asperchu'' series itself, please see [[Asperchu/Background]].''

'''''Asperchu''''' is a multiple award-winning comic series created by Alec Benson Leary (born as 'Alex Benson Leary' on [[Christmas|25 December]] 1982) of {{w|Eden Prairie, Minnesota}}.<ref>[[Mailbag 19#A very Asperchu Christmas]]</ref> His [[Chris and art|deft artwork]], [[Chris and writing|gripping stories, and excellent characterization]] has resulted in the series gaining hundreds of fans in the few short months since its inception. Many of these fans were discontented followers of the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comics]], who were turned off by the comics becoming exponentially more disturbing.

==Similarities to Chris==
[[Image:Asperchu-and-sonichu-meet.jpg|thumb|left|The first drawing Alec sent Chris.]]
[[File:Vote sonichu for DA.jpg|thumb|[[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] for DA.]]
While Alec has stated that Asperchu is not a parody of [[Chris]],<ref>[[Mailbag 32]]</ref> there are many similarities between the two. Both of them are [[Obesity|overweight]], [[Pedo-Glasses|bespectacled]], [[The Classic|striped-shirt wearing]] [[naïve]] individuals who find themselves somewhat out of place in the world. They both address the masses through [[List of videos|YouTube videos]], and both are preoccupied with finding a [[boyfriend-free girl]] to make into a [[sweetheart]].

These similarities between the two characters have resulted in no shortage of [[Chris and anger|rage]] from Chris. He seems to feel that the only reason Asperchu exists is to poke fun at him. He also takes serious offense at the idea of a [[Sonichu (species)|Sonichu]] who suffers from [[Asperger syndrome]], for [[Chris and his ego|some reason]].

==Chris on Asperchu==
{{quote|''Die'', you son of a bitch! Alec... '''Die'''.|[[Chris]]<ref>[[Down With Asperchu]]</ref>}}
[[File:AsperchuNoHomo.JPG|thumb|The second drawing Alec sent Chris.]]

It's no secret that Chris hates Asperger's syndrome (and presumably everybody that suffers from it), due to some illusory sense of competition between Asperger's and other disorders on the [[autism]] spectrum. The knowledge that someone had created a series about an [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] who suffered from the affliction did not sit well with him. He became even angrier when the creator of the series himself started sending him e-mails.

The first recorded communication we have between Alec and Chris implies that Alec had been in contact with him multiple times outside of the public view and that Chris had responded to these communications negatively.<ref>[[Mailbag 10#Meet Asperchu]]</ref> Chris didn't respond any better on his public mailbag, claiming that Alec was jealous of him and inexplicably alleging that the included fan art of Asperchu and Sonichu implied [[homos]]exuality.

Upset that Chris would jump to such conclusions, Alec sent him another letter, depicting Sonichu and Asperchu having good, masculine, straight fun.<ref>[[Mailbag 17#Sonichu loves Asperchu no homo]]</ref> This letter was even more poorly received.

Undaunted, Alec continued to send letters to Chris's mailbag, thinking that perhaps the man he respected so much really just misunderstood him. A few of these letters were [[Mailbag 19#A very Asperchu Christmas|ignored]], some were [[Mailbag 28#Hey kids, it's Asperchu!|coldly dismissed]], but Chris's most [[Mailbag 31#Asperchu is the shit|notable]] [[Mailbag 32#Parodies|responses]] were explosive outbursts of [[Chris and anger|anger]] and hatred. Eventually, Chris began [[Mailbag 35#No comment|refusing to respond]] to Alec's correspondence, or [[Mailbag 34#Asperpedia!|deleting his messages outright]].

In ''Asperchu'' Issue C, Chris made an appearance asking for help from the characters to save Asperchu. Later, he and [[Liquid Chris|CChanSonichuCWC]] met up with each other, leading to a standoff where Chris tried to shoot him. Chris [[Asperchu is a Horrendous Joke|responded]] to the comic, mentioning that he was set on fire in the comic. He didn't seem to notice that he was also called by the name [[Ian Brandon Anderson]], nor did he notice the appearance of Liquid Chris.

When the ''Asperchu'' saga started taking off, Chris's schedule for [[Sonichu (comic)|his own comic]] [[stress|dropped drastically]].

Beyond this, Chris made clear that he also hates the comic because of its "uncensored pictures" and "low resolution and blocky art". Here, we see Chris's [[Chris and hypocrisy|hypocrisy]] in action. The "uncensored pictures" he's all up in arms over are just minor posters hung up mostly in Asperchu's room and even so, they are mostly hidden away by the character's heads. Chris's "uncensored pictures" are done by the main characters in full view, despite the fact that ''Sonichu'' is supposed to be a "kids' comic". Chris probably took the terms "blocky" and "low-resolution" from the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode {{w|Road to the Multiverse}}. Of course, compared to Chris's [[Chris and art|art]], it's practically the fucking [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistine_Chapel_ceiling ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.] It helps that Alec is humble and doesn't try to act like his artwork is amazing and worthy of being hung in a museum.

==Asperpedia==
[[Image:Haitihelp.JPG|thumb|Clearly, Asperchu is pure evil.]]
After finishing the first three issues of his comic, Alec Benson Leary set up his own Mediawiki website where one could read all existing comics, as well as a number of articles about the world of ''Asperchu'', and read fan mail answered by Mr. Leary. Soon afterward, portals were added to the site for other notable comics, such as [[Evan]]'s [[Evan#Simonchu|''Simonchu'']], {{anchor|Sean}} and ''Sonichu is Dead'' creator Sean August Watley's latest project, ''[[Moon-Pals]]''. In [[February 2010]], more comics were added, including Alec's ''Sonichu Revolution'', Sean's ''Sonichu is Dead'' and ''Sonichu is Gay'', and Isabel Monday's ''Capering Berries''.

[[Jack Thaddeus]], recognizing the incredible profit potential of ''Asperchu'', immediately began advertising the new website on the [[CWCipedia]]. Chris responded to these new ads, and his newfound knowledge of Alec's website with a series of increasingly disturbing videos<ref>[[Down with Asperchu]], [[12 January 2010]], [[14 January 2010]], [[15 January 2010]], [[U8C43P2A37A8 y U8C1N023V0L]]</ref> where he made his opinions on the matter quite clear.

Alec, being a gentle soul, has not directly responded to any of Chris's offensive videos. When [[Down with Asperchu#Alec's response to the video|asked by a concerned fan]], he outlined his planned course of action as one of peace, citing his personal hero, {{w|Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi|Mahatma Gandhi}}. His webmaster, Mao "Bamboo" Ling has opted for a more direct approach, speaking to Chris directly in two short [[YouTube]] videos.

The large banner ad for Asperpedia was replaced by a link to information on the U.S. Government's efforts to help the victims of {{w|2010 Haiti earthquake|the earthquake in Haiti}}, because Alec cares about the plight of his fellow men.

Due to the growing popularity of ''Asperchu'' over ''Sonichu'', the site later set up a fan portal where aspiring writers can make their own ''Sonichu'' fanfictions. Various pre-existing titles, including ''Sonichu: The Animated Series'', are also hosted in the fan section. There is even a parody version of [[CWCipedia]] set up by Mao, where totally fictitious articles on ''Sonichu''-related things are made, including photoshopped images of the original comic.

Eventually, on May 27, 2010, Mao took complete control of CWCipedia, after which Alec and [[Vivian Gee]] started uploading ''Sonichu'' Season 2. The CWCipedia was then permanently deleted for Mao to gain the upper hand after noting to the Comic Fury staff that, without ''Sonichu'' and Chris to bargain for a lower price, they must be forced to sign with him. The rights to the Asperpedia was then sold for $150,000.

The Asperpedia was eventually shut down, however, according to Alec Benson Leary, "It was run by a spazlord who took it down randomly in a fidgety fit one day. I didn't care to fight for it."

===The 19 January Demands===
On 19 January 2010, Chris uploaded twelve new pages of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], which are centered mostly around Asperchu and the Asperpedia. [[Chris and his Ego|Ever the heroic savior]], Chris pictures himself, along with [[Ultra Sonichu]], destroying the slanderous Asperpedia and saving Alec's characters from their [[Asperger syndrome|terrible affliction]], with Asperchu himself getting an "EXTREME ELECTRIC MAKEOVER" and becoming "[[Mitch Sonichu]]".

Not content with this, Chris then issued an ultimatum to Alec through a blog post:

{{Quote|Although within Alec's Hands, Asperchu IS a horrific joke, not only because of the uncensored nudity, wrongful character usage and all that, but also because the whole thing is drawn in a c***py Blocky and Low Resolution way.

I still have NO association with Alec Benson Leary OR HIS Asperchu character Whatsoever, but I will forgive Alec for his error if he FOLLOWS from my new plot and Extreme Electric Makeover as a template. He is no longer "Asperchu", just call him [[Mitch Sonichu]].|Chris's featured quote on January 19, 2010.}}

Alec didn't listen to Chris's demands, instead keeping everyone there and just introducing Mitch Sonichu as simply "Mitch Chu", who appears to be a [[Homos|gay stylist]], as well as Whisp Sonichu as the character Whispy Sonichu, Punchy's [[slow-in-the-mind]] cousin.

==Apologies==
In [[Apologies to Alec and Evan|a 1 February 2010 video]], Chris finally admitted that Asperchu was not a [[parody]] of himself or his original creation, Sonichu, and was instead a completely original character. He also apologized for spreading lies about Alec, such as suggesting that he [[Mailbag 50|only responded to fan mail that puts him in a positive light]], and for the constant [[death threats]] against him. In addition, he apologized for trying to commandeer [[Evan]]'s [[Simonchu]] character (though he tactfully avoided mentioning his blatant ripoff, [[Simonla]]).

However, Chris's real motivations quickly become obvious as he proceeded to beg Alec and Evan to help him take down the [[CWCipedia#CWCipedia Advertisements|CWCipedia ads]], which had become increasingly homoerotic and insulting to Chris.

A few days later, Chris made [[I am Alive|another video]] fully apologizing for his threats towards the four, deciding to give up Simonla and delivering a half-assed Forgiveness Blessing to Mao, in the hope of finally removing the ads (which also included a [[parody]] of [[ShecameforCWC.JPG]] involving him and [[Snorlax|his mom]] and an obituary for Chris).

On 25 [[February 2010]], Chris released the last pages of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], in which he did kill off [[Simonla]]... but turned around and ''brutally executed'' the "Asperpedia Four."

[[Book10Replacement|A revised version]], inspired by Chris's [[sweetheart]] [[Jackie]], replaced the death sentences with a lifetime placement among the Amish. Jackie insisted on a parade in honor of Alec and Asperchu<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 19]]</ref><ref>[[Jackie E-mails 20]]</ref><ref>[[Lars Call]]</ref> but Chris did not honor his promise.

By 2017, Chris had become more amenable towards ''Sonichu'' fan-fiction and parodies. He apologized to Alec in a Facebook post that October and offered that if Alec would print ''Asperchu'' through a self-publishing site, he would trade printed ''Sonichu'' in exchange.<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/October_2017_Facebook_posts#Print_editions_for_fancomics</ref>

==Phone calls==
{{main|Alec Benson Leary calls}}

{{quote|Encourage the fans that were originally my fans to come back to me.|Chris}}

On 9 [[February 2010]], [[Mao]] sent [[Evan]] and [[Sean]] a series of seven phone conversations between Alec Benson Leary and Chris. While these conversations were meant to stay between the [[Asperpedia]] staff, they were eventually leaked by Mao for the world to hear. An [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8|eighth]] and [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 9|ninth]] phone call between Chris and Alec followed on 18 February and 25 February, respectively.

Alec also portrayed [[Jackie#Lars|Lars]] in a phone call with Chris.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/abl-q-a.805/#post-54378</ref>

==Trial and execution of Asperpedia staff==

{{Quote|We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.|Chris, [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]}}

Despite Alec attempting to help Chris out several times during the phone calls, Chris involved Alec (along with Mao, Sean, and Evan) in the penultimate pages of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]. They are portrayed as stupid, murderous characters, who are tried by [[CWCville]]'s court for the murder of [[Simonla Rosechu]], as well as the theft and mockery of several citizens of CWCville. After a kangaroo court trial (in CWCville's favor, of course), Alec and co. are sentenced to death, Alec specifically in a "ten-button Electric chair". He is electrocuted to death by various characters that were "misrepresented" in ''Asperchu'', including Sonichu, who states that he is [[Homos|"not gay"]] as he jointly ends Alec's life. Chris himself joins in on the fun, and ironically, and also hypocritically, states that Alec is a "d*** lunatic," after which he helps fry him to a crisp, before proceeding to violently contort Mao's limbs backward until they snap using telekinesis, followed shortly after by crushing his heart. Evan is horribly mutilated by [[Sandy Rosechu]] whilst chained to a wall, and Sean is executed by a firing squad from [[Bill the Scientist]], [[Kel]], and [[Allison]].

Amidst this brutality, Chris sees fit to [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Calls|apologize]] for some of his own wrongdoings towards the Asperchu Four, as well as his fans.

In recent updates to [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], Chris made good on his promise to "revive" Simonla. However, the pages reveal that [[:Image:Son11p22.jpg|she never died in the first place]]. This means that Chris set up the trial on a whim just so he would have a convenient excuse to kill Alec, Mao, Sean, and Evan.

==''Sonichu Revolution''==
When the CWCipedia was taken down during the [[Simonchu]] dispute, it appeared Chris was not going to budge and would [[9_February_2010|possibly set up shop elsewhere]]. Considering Chris's laziness, how long that might take was anyone's guess. The possibility that no new comics would appear for days, weeks, or even months was likely, and this didn't take into account how often Chris's new digs would get hacked. Fortunately, Alec, being the nice guy that he is, decided ''Sonichu'' fans should not be deprived of the promised reboot. He took it upon himself to not only deliver fans new pages through Chris's site but to also take care of the looming copyright issues that Chris had been unwilling to tackle. All while still uploading new ''Asperchu'' comics.

Chris, of course, took this in entirely the wrong way. In the [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8|eighth phone call]], he accused Alec of stealing his work and attempting to impersonate him. While he expressed offense at the violence of some of the ''Sonichu Revolution'' strips, he showed no signs of grasping the way Alec's comic mocks the unoriginality, moral hypocrisy, sexual degeneracy, and generally warped outlook of Chris's original ''Sonichu'' stories.

==CWCipedia advertisements==
[[File:Asperchuissue5ad.jpg|thumb|200px|The ad in question.]]
Shortly after 110mb returned from what may have been its billionth outage, a large ''Asperchu'' ad appeared at the top of every article, depicting [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] shooting Chris in the calves ([[Sonichu Special 4|sound familiar?]]) while calling him a "[[Honest Content|fat little son of a bitch]]". Chris claimed that the ad didn't get to him, but given [[Address to my Cwcipedia SysOp|his history with trollsome ads]], a non-reaction was nigh-impossible.

[[Jackie e-mails|Jackie]] came across this ad and, thinking it was one of the ''Sonichu'' comics, thought it was, as advertised, ''fucking awesome''. Chris explained to her it was really a troll advertisement, which eventually lead to him showing her [[CWCki]] and her finding out what a lazy monster he is, ending the online correspondence. So even if it failed to provoke a response from Chris, it managed to perform some small service in [[The Miscreants|the larger scheme of things]].

[[File:AsperchuMarkDeux.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The (other) ad in question.]]

Eventually, the ad was taken down, although it was quickly replaced with another, smaller one featuring a callback to the scene of [[Evan]]'s cold-blooded torture from [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]. Chris never responded to this, most likely because he was too busy [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|bitching about not being unbanned from The GAMe PLACe]].

[[File:Sonichu0.jpg|thumb|200px|The (final) ad in question.]]

Yet another ad was put up a few days later, depicting Chris's final death. It was taken down relatively quickly and replaced with an Autism Awareness Month ad (featuring a mention of the hated [[Asperger's syndrome]], no less), so it isn't unreasonable to believe Chris may have missed this one entirely.

==[[Calling Out]]==
After attempting to ignore Alec for well over a year and a half, Chris suddenly turned around and revealed a possible dox on Alec. He proclaimed that he's a "[[South Park|fatty-fat-fat]]" named Christopher who makes donations to [[The GAMe PLACe]] and doesn't have Asperger's. Like [[Surfshack Tito (troll)|Surfshack Tito]] and [[Thorg]], he demanded reparations – namely that he make a video apologizing for [[Chris and copyright|infringing on his Sonichu "copyright"]] and then [[Chris and hypocrisy|leave the Internet]].

On 30 August 2011, the day before Alec's deadline, [[Christopher Paul Whitney reveal|Chris revealed]] the true identity of Alec as 36-year-old "Christopher Paul Whitney", of San Antonio, Texas, better known as [[YouTube]] sensation "Fatman".

Unbeknownst to Chris, the dox wasn't true. Not only does Fatman have a completely different voice than Alec, but he would have no motivation to troll Chris, let alone create a comic about him. The information on Fatman wasn't even accurate – Fatman is from Rutland, Vermont (which he later pointed out), and since he was born in 1980, he would have been 30 or 31 when Chris made his video. But Chris being Chris, was [[naïve]] enough to believe they were the same person, especially since Fatman represented what Chris thought his tormentors were really like.

Fatman later made a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WrO0EHh37c|video video response], where he called Chris a "[[Slow-in-the-minds|dumb ass]]" for thinking he was Alec. Chris never replied to the video and presumably never saw it due to the death of [[Bob Chandler|his father]] a week after he "revealed" Fatman.

== Legacy ==
One of the last surviving relics of the ''Asperchu'' saga met its demise during the [[Destruction Of Chris's House|fire]] which ravaged [[14 Branchland Court]] on 10 [[January 2014]]. The Asperchu [[medallion]], gifted to Chris by Alec, was destroyed in the fire, as Chris revealed in a [[Facebook]] post on [[August 2014 Facebook Posts#Fan items lost in the fire|2 August 2014]].<ref>[[August 2014 Facebook Posts#Fan items lost in the fire|August 2014 Facebook Posts]]</ref> Notably, the somber tone Chris takes on in this post when recalling the destruction of this and other fan items seems to suggest that his feelings toward Alec and ''Asperchu'' as a whole may have softened over the years, though he could have just been feigning this for sympathy to [[Chris and money|e-beg]].

Strangely, Chris stated that he did not know who made the medallion (or any of the other lost fan creations), suggesting that he [[Slow-in-the-minds|might not remember Alec at all]].

''Asperchu'' was mentioned in the [[CatKnight Interview]], in which Arthur Spatchcock brought up the series as a potential threat to ''Sonichu''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> distribution in Europe, likely due to Alec's claim on the copyright of the character Mitch Sonichu. Chris reasoned that Asperchu "is definitely not a canon character" in his comics, [[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|except for when he is]], rendering the issue moot [[Chris and copyright|as far as Chris is concerned]].<ref>[[CatKnight Interview]], [https://soundcloud.com/cat-knight-430471584/part-1-christine/s-iCiQa part 1], 8:40.</ref> Once again, Alec is not mentioned directly.

==Idea Guy influences==
{{main|Idea Guys}}

[[File:Alec as Bodhi.jpg|thumb|Chris believes this is Alec – actually Bodhi from ''Payday 2''.]]

During the Idea Guy saga, Chris's belief in multiple dimensions was exploited and his sense of reality was hijacked to make changes to many of Chris's characters, concepts, and perspective of the real world, with him considering them to be valid. Ideas involving Alec and Asperchu include:

*Chris wanted clarification over what really happened in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] and asked Idea Guy if Alec and the other Asperpedia Four trolls were saved by becoming Amish or executed. Since Idea Guy was playing ''Payday 2'' at the time, he used the character Bodhi's bio for a revised version of Alec, telling Chris that Alec had escaped and giving Chris the picture of Bodhi, saying it was Alec.<ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A]]</ref>

{{Quote|"Hail thee, to the president, by gah ... her 'tis of thee..." 
Okay, [[Honor roll|I don't know the words]], but I am being patriotic here!|Chris<ref>[[Red Letter CWC Certified Day]]</ref>}}
[[File:SonichuFlag.png|thumb|Chris's primary thoughts on the USA.]]
[[File:CWCUSA.png|thumb|A recreation of how Chris draws the American flag]]

[[Chris]] is a citizen and lifelong resident of the '''United States of America''', a federal constitutional republic in North America. The nation is considered the only remaining superpower since the end of the Cold War, and is a leading economic, political and cultural force in the world. The current president of the United States is [[Joe Biden]].

Chris's stance on the nation he lives in is inconsistent at best. While he claims to be a good citizen who loves and respects his country, his [[Twin Falling Towers|actions]] [[Calling Out|are]] [[Chris and hypocrisy|often]] [[Chris and the Law|very]] [[Monthly tugboat|obviously]] [[Pmurt|contrary]] to these claims. Despite this, Chris has never traveled abroad – he's rarely even left the East Coast.

==Politics==
{{main|Chris and politics}}
[[File:Cwcflag1.png|thumb|Chris's DEEPER thoughts on the USA (until becoming [[Transgender]]).]]

===Classic Era===

At a glance, Chris's initial sense of politics seemed very inconsistent; on some issues, he took a very [[Wikipedia:Conservatism in the United States|conservative]] stance, on others a very [[Wikipedia:Liberalism in the United States|liberal]] one. While many people have an independent or bipartisan opinion, one has to realize the true nature of Chris's decision-making: that Chris doesn't favor what's good for the working class, or any class, or America, or the world, but rather [[Chris and his ego|what's good for Chris]]. As such, he was against gay marriage because he hated da [[homos]], and supported [[Barack Obama]] because he "saw himself in him".<ref>[[Mumble 7]]</ref><ref>[[IRC (18 December 2008)]]</ref>

Another political insight is the vague statement "I agree with gun control.",<ref>[[Mailbag 4]]</ref> despite Chris's numerous [[death threats]] and [[Sonichu Special 4|vigilante plans]] that would require a firearm. Soon after, he clarified that he supported abortion,<ref>[[Mailbag 20]]</ref> undoubtedly to show his appreciation for [[women's rights]].

Chris proclaims himself to be a "moderate".<ref>[[Common Questions]]</ref><ref>[[Mumble 1]]</ref><ref>[[Mailbag 5]]</ref><ref>[[Mumble 7]]</ref><ref>[[The Hook Cafe]]</ref> While typically this simply means not having extreme or overly partisan political beliefs, he takes this as a general-purpose response to all questions about politics, including ones that have no defined middle path. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the [[Mailbags]], where Chris will often dodge giving his opinion on issues ''every'' voter should have an opinion on, simply because ''he has no opinion'', though he did vote for [[Barack Obama]] in 2008 and 2012.

{{Quote|I disagree with more of the [[Wikipedia:Republican Party (US)|Republican]]'s views than the [[Wikipedia:Democratic Party (US)|Democrats]]. As for [[Wikipedia:Iraq War troop surge of 2007|the troop surge]], I don't really care much for war, especially if it's [[Death threats|over some petty disagreement]], but regardless of the surge's success or failure, [[Chris and English|I feel at least half of the sent troops should not be pulled back to stand their ground]].|Chris, [[Mailbag 15#Everything in moderation|Mailbag 15]]}}

Chris didn't react well in situations where he absolutely had to make a choice ([[Julie]] or [[PSN]]?<ref>[[Julie Reveals Herself]]</ref>), and seemed to be easily persuaded on matters that he didn't really have a stake on. As a result, he often came across like a weathervane, just repeating whatever opinion that most recently lodged itself into his head. His frequency of vacillating his opinion about President Obama is a good example of this; he first parroted what [[Bob|his father]] had told him about it, then he changed his mind because of a documentary, and then he reverted his opinion because of his father again.

===Modern Era===

Chris's political stances became both more consistent and left-leaning as the 2010's continued. This is likely a blend of his worldview changing with his new adopted gender identity and also the passing of Bob, leaving him with no omnipresent conservative voice to sway him. By the time of the 2016 presidential elections, Chris had become a vocal [[Wikipedia:Democratic Party (US)|Democrat]]. He does remain largely self-serving in his outlook however, he now ardently supports LGBTQ initiatives, though he at first still stuck to his dislike of gay men (rendering his support disingenuous at best) until 2015. His financial woes have also made politics related to welfare and state support a focus for him but he never forms thoughts on the subject beyond the vague belief that one party or the other is inherently good. Like many things with Chris, his outlook on politics is unbridled by civility or even common sense. In November 2016, Chris went so far as to openly call for the assassination of president-elect [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]], something even the most die-hard liberal politico would consider madness to say aloud.

==Understanding of government==
{{Main|Chris and politics}}

[[File:CWCVilleTrueFlag.png|thumb|What Chris's ideas actually amount to in [[Chris and reality|reality]].]]

Chris's grasp of how the government works, much like Chris's grasp on [[Chris and reality|reality]] as a whole, is very tenuous. One of the most telling examples of this is his ignorant stance on taxation and [[Monthly tugboat|welfare]]. Because Chris is jobless, he pays no taxes. However, he still thinks of himself as a contributing member of society, because he pays [[Wikipedia:Sales taxes in the United States|sales taxes]] on the massive amount of crap he buys.

{{Quote|[[Chris and money|My spending that money ends up going to others who get such welfare and all as well.... I am sharing the wealth with others who are on that tugboat as well.]]|Chris, [[Honor roll|being wrong]].<ref>[[Mailbag 34#In which Chris fails economics forever]]</ref>.}}

It's highly unlikely that Chris understands the massive discrepancy between the amount the federal government pays him and the amount he gives back to the economy via sales tax. Chris also fails to understand that, in the USA, sales taxes are collected by state and local governments, while his Social Security Disability check comes from the federal government.

Chris also seems to have difficulty understanding what the true purpose of government actually is. The U.S. government's duty is to follow the will of the majority while respecting the rights of the minority, to protect its citizens from danger, and to ensure the continued prosperity of the nation. Chris, however, would like it to be totalitarianism and ideally to be the one running it, allowing him to enforce his deranged fantasies on the American populus:

{{Quote|All Men and Women would be paired up in straight couples, leaving none alone; any remaining will be saved for upcoming men/women respectively. All gays would be reprogrammed and encouraged to be straight.|Chris.<ref> [[Common Questions#28 December 2009]]</ref>}}

The facts that this would neither help the country in any way nor be even remotely possible to put into practice are not ones Chris considers important. Chris's reasoning is simply that since he wants a [[sweetheart]], ''everybody'' must want a sweetheart, and if everybody wants a sweetheart, the government needs to make it happen. Similarly, since he is uncomfortable with gays personally, every single gay person in the country must be forced into a heterosexual lifestyle.

Over the years, Chris has proposed a large number of laws, even sending letters to President [[Barack Obama]] demanding legislation against [[trolls]] and [[homos]]. This is completely futile for myriad reasons, but two are most pressing: one, the President of the United States has much more pressing concerns than making an insane manchild in Ruckersville, VA, happy, and two, the US President ''can't make laws''. Separation of powers and checks and balances in government are concepts Chris has no time for — [[CWCville]], after all, is a hereditary dictatorship.

Oddly, the closest analog for how Chris views his government is how Chris views his [[Chris and religion|religion]]. He treats both the U.S. government and [[God]] as things that can be completely ignored unless he has a personal problem, at which point they should immediately act as instruments of his will. He believes that both have a deeply vested interest in himself, often at the expense of everybody else.

== Chris on patriotism ==
As established, Chris has a very [[naïve]] view of American politics and how the federal government operates. Despite these setbacks, Chris has developed a unique brand of patriotism he brings up quite often, usually either in [[Father Call|defense of his character]] or dehumanization of his [[Trolls|enemies]]. As a result, these stabs at [[Wikipedia:Jingoism|jingoism]] often feel forced or out of place. Chris has utilized this tactic in [[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]], with the iconic "Clarksville Address":

{{quote|Yes, sir, my loving, caring [[Sweetheart]] and I have come to discuss the web page in question. We humbly request that it would be removed from the internet for good. For you are not just dragging Christian Weston Chandler's name in the mud, you also drag the American hopes and dreams and ideas of the majority of these great, humble United States of America along with him.|[[Sonichu]], on Chris's batshit insane claim that insulting him means you hate America.<ref>[[Sonichu 8]]</ref>}}

[[Image:CWCVictoryForIvy.jpg|thumb|left|Chris bastardizing the American flag with his [[The Classic|favorite shirt]].]]

In the above statement, the central flaw in Chris's reasoning is displayed - the belief [[Song of Christian|his problems are analogous with the problems of every American]]. Therefore, if [[ED]] satirizes ''him'', they insult ''all'' U.S. citizens. This would become something of a recurring theme, with a later video claiming that any attack on Chris or [[CWCville|his fictional "utopia"]] was equivalent to mocking any 'C-ville' in America.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref> On a shallower level, it's an obvious ploy for sympathy, a façade of reasonable nationalism that aims to make him the 'good guy', and by extension, [[Jason]] the 'bad guy'. Thus, patriotic symbolism is thrown in, without really even considering whether or not it makes sense in context. Chris is patriotic simply because he believes that's what will win him [[Scale of Respect|respect]] and reprieve.

His attempts to prove his patriotism are undermined, however, by his tendency to [[Twin Falling Towers|mock national tragedies]] and his [[Chris and music|complete inability to sing even the most well-known patriotic songs.]] If anything, Chris's attempts to prove himself a "true American" end up having the opposite effect.

However, his bumbling enthusiasm isn't reserved for the USA alone. Like many Americans, Chris has contrived of a highly dubious ancestry for himself, starting from [[Anne Boleyn]], a Queen of England who was executed in [[Pre-1980#Pre-1900|1536]]. This was almost instantly proven false when her ultimate descendant Queen Elizabeth I, also known as [[Virgin with rage|"The Virgin Queen"]], died in 1603, childless. Then Chris tried in vain to co-opt British, Scottish, and Irish national sentiment in his kilt-clad tirade against [[Surfshack Tito]]<ref>[[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!]]</ref> as a means of intimidation. Also, while not a standard country per se, he also evoked his relation to the Cherokee nation in his infamous [[War Paint Video]]. Finally, Chris attempts to use the fact that February 24 is Mexico's Flag Day to justify [[Christian Love Day|turning his own birthday into a holiday]]; an ''American'' holiday. Note that all of these cases, Chris's total ignorance of other nations means he fails spectacularly at representing them and appearing patriotic.
{{-}}

==Chris for President?==
[[File:Idealworld.jpg|thumb|Chris's [[CWCville|promised America]].]]

In an [[October 2010]] video, Chris outlined what he would do if he were elected President. He declared he would [[Chris and money|cut taxes in half]], build "soup hotels", give [[Merried Seinor Comic|senior citizens]] increased funds for medications and special services, [[Sonichu Special 4|restrict guns to law enforcement personnel only]], [[homos|allow gay marriage]], and [[TrollBusters|form a special police force that focuses entirely on capturing Internet trolls.]]<ref>[[A Public Announcement for Congress]]</ref>

Aside from his failure to deliver a good speech, this video also showcases his complete and utter ignorance of how government and taxes work. Building luxury hotels for the homeless<ref>[[Mailbag 18]]</ref> and increasing social security for [[Bob Chandler|senior citizens]] would cost a gigantic amount of money to do, yet he also proposes cutting taxes in half (again thinking that all tax is federally mandated), thus also reducing the amount of money the government can spend in half. Given that Chris probably has [[Honor roll|no knowledge of economics]], he likely assumes that money can be printed endlessly without fear of inflation.

Chris's restrictions of guns to professionals only is a blatant violation of the [[Wikipedia:Second Amendment to the United States Constitution|Second Amendment]], which explains the right of American citizens to own a wide array of weaponry can never be infringed. While there are certain restrictions on who can own a gun and what types, generally differing on the state level, a flat-out ban on weapons would be found unconstitutional. Then again, Chris isn't exactly big on [[Homos|respecting]] [[Asperchu|the]] [[Megan Schroeder|rights]] [[Mailbag 31|of]] [[Niggos|others.]]

His departure from his previous stance on gay marriage is surprising, as he was influenced by [[Jackie]] when he made the video. Despite his decree of equal rights, he does finish up his point by imploring [[Homos|gays]] to [[Sex tape|"keep it to yourselves in your room, just don't force it upon everybody."]] Meanwhile, Chris can [[Fridays After Five|flaunt his depravity]] in public to his heart's content.

While taxes, government spending, gay marriage, and gun control are all big issues, Chris finishes up his video by proposing his most important change: the establishment of a special [[TrollBusters]] unit of [[Chris and the Law|law enforcement]], apparently dedicated to finding trolls who make fun of people online, and incarcerating them. While a Cyber Crime unit already exists for the FBI, they spend their time pursuing actual criminals like [[pedofork|pedophiles]], scam artists, hackers, and terrorism, not people who make fun of fat manbabies online.

Chris was also asked in [[Mailbag 55]] to list the laws he would like to see put in place. As well as stating that he wants a ban on smoking, he also wishes for all men to wear a [[muscle bra]] and that all women who are currently in a relationship should be forced to wear a ring. Not only are such laws inane and draconian, but the latter two would also only help [[Chris and His Ego|Chris's ego]] and nobody else.

Also, the fact that Chris is willing to suspend constitutional rights and spend countless theoretical millions to incarcerate people that make fun of him on the Internet is proof that Chris is neither a Republican nor Democrat, capitalist or socialist, right-wing or left-wing, authoritarian or libertarian, liberal or conservative, communist or fascist, elitist or egalitarian, individualist or collectivist, religious or secular, extremist or moderate - or really any political stripe at all. His politics truly begin and end with him alone.

'''Barbara Ann Chandler'''<ref>[[:File:Barbara Chandler Fail to Yield Right-of-Way charge.png]]</ref> (''née'' '''Weston''', formerly '''Yeatts''' and '''Smithey'''; born 1 {{w|1941#October|October 1941}}<ref name=Harvey155>https://web.archive.org/web/20170903151241/http://www.harveypowers.com/wynn/wynn/d155.html</ref>) is the widow of [[Bob Chandler]] and the mother of [[Christian Weston Chandler]] and [[Cole Smithey]]. The sole recognition for her motherly qualities is the Mother of the Year [[2000]] Award Chris created for her.<ref>[[A Week With Christian Chandler#Page 13|A Week With Christian Chandler, page 13]]</ref> She has not won the award since, although Chris did have other, more twisted "gifts" in mind for his mother over twenty years later.

Though Bob has remained relatively popular with [[Trolls]] and Christorians alike, the same cannot be said for Barbara, who has been consistently disliked by nearly everyone but Chris and her late husband – with many members of her own family distancing themselves from her at least since at least the funeral of one of [[Aunt Corrina|Chris's aunts]]. Whereas Bob eventually recognized his shortcomings as a parent to Chris and attempted to correct them late into his life, Barbara has consistently been one of the biggest enablers of Chris's bad behavior since he was a child, on top of emotionally manipulating, threatening, and on occasion physically abusing him (elements which Chris would turn around and use on her later in her life). Barbara has been instrumental in turning Chris into the spoiled manchild that he is, and like Bob before her, has encouraged him not to seek a serious career path in favor of [[Monthly tugboat|getting welfare off of his condition]], in spite of the fact that he could get a minimum-wage job and still qualify for welfare.

It has long been suspected that she has some form of narcissistic personality disorder, which goes hand-in-hand with what we know about her neglectful to abusive relationship with Chris, along with his half-brother [[Cole Smithey]], who received a much worse treatment from her. Her hoarding habits also indirectly lead to the [[2014 house fire]], as sparks from a coffee maker that had no business being plugged into an extension cord in the bathroom burned the paper, plastic, and wood in the room before engulfing the house, and much of the [[Financhu Crisis]] is subsequently on her. Nonetheless, Chris remains unaware of just how bad a parent she's been to him, and he continues to cling to her in an Oedipal fashion (to a horrifying degree, as we'd later find out) as she approaches death's door, and he's no closer to becoming a self-sufficient adult two decades after graduating high school.

For much of the Classic Era of Christory, Barbara was extremely obese and napped a lot (earning her the nickname "{{w|Snorlax}}", after the fat, sleepy [[Pokémon]] of the same name), but she has since shed a ton of weight in her twilight years. This sharp loss of weight, loss of hair color, and knowledge of her son's status as a living internet meme all factored into her role in appearing in multiple begging videos, alongside reportedly playing up senility for the camera to [[Chris and manipulation|manipulate]] viewers into paying for donations. (Whether or not Barb was "just acting" senile remains unclear, particularly with later events in mind.) Unfortunately, [[Chris and money|much like her son]], she spends most of the donations that she receives on frivolous crap rather than working to resolve her mounting [[debt]] that will be placed upon Chris after she kicks the bucket.

Nonetheless, some offered sympathy to Barb in light of some incredibly dark revelations late into her life. Near the end of [[July 2021]], Chris told [[Isabella Loretta Janke]] that [[Affair with Mother|he began an incestuous relationship with Barbara]], long speculated to be suffering from some form of degenerative brain disease, which Chris later indicated was possible; by extension could mean that she may have been [[Chris and sex#Rape|unable to consent]] with her son. Audio of this revelation quickly leaked out to the internet at large. Chris previously told [[Null]] that he'd found a [[boyfriend-free girl]] over the age of 50 who was an accountant years ago – details which match up with a description of who Barb is – leading Null to believe that Chris found a girlfriend who he didn't want people to find out about before eventually realizing that Chris screwed his own mother. Following this horrifying news, Null severed his ties with Chris, and the damage done was swift and immeasurable as both Chris and Barb were vacated from [[14 Branchland Court]] and separated by [[Jerkops|the authorities]], with Barb being placed under medical care and [[Jail Saga|Chris being sent to jail, awaiting trial]].

Barb returned to her residence at some point in [[August 2021]]<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210904171746/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-29-2021-barb-returned-to-14bc.99387//]</ref>, apparently appearing more rattled than usual.<ref>[[Fan visits#e1ectricthunder]]</ref> In an [[October 2021]] letter to a fan, Chris mentioned that he had received a letter from Barb during his stay in jail.<ref name=25letter>[[Jail Letter - 25 October 2021 (Virginia fan)]]</ref> A [[November 2021]] letter to [[Other enablers#Kenneth Engelhardt|Kengle]] revealed that Barb was involved in a car crash claiming that she had suffered two broken ribs and a concussion, and has since been at the mercy of senior caregivers and extended family members who had never wanted to see her ever again until hearing about what she'd been through.<ref>[https://www.onionfarms.com/threads/latest-letter-from-cwc-dated-november-30th-barbara-injured-in-a-automobile-accident.2011/]</ref> This was later confirmed by a CarFax report<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/chris-latest-letter-to-kengle-barb-sustains-serious-injuries-in-automobile-accident-30th-november.107209/page-13#post-10675538 Confirmation of Barb's 2002 Dodge Caravan being totaled]</ref> and Barb being charged with Fail to Yield Right-of-Way for the incident.<ref>[[:File:Barbara Chandler Fail to Yield Right-of-Way charge.png]]</ref>

==Spelling of name==
Barbara's high school yearbook and both her marriage licenses spell her full maiden name as ''Barbara '''Ann''' Weston'', as do other sources like Harvey Powers's genealogical website<ref name=Harvey155/> (her divorce decree omits the middle name entirely). Chris, however, usually (though not consistently) spells her name as ''Barbara '''Anne''' Weston Chandler'' with an e. This may be because he believes she is named after [[Anne Boleyn]].

==Early life==
[[Image:Babs1960.PNG|thumb|left|Barbara's senior photo from high school. While she looks pretty here, she would not age well.]]
{{Quote|Her life was a Redneck Simple Country one. She had mastered sewing, mending, and making clothes and other farm-life facets and Church-Going habits.|Chris describes his mother's childhood<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref>}}
Barbara is the fifth child (out of eight) of Joseph Otto "Joe" Weston, a [[RandomSong1|farmer]] (1896–1955) and Carrie Edna Wynn (1911–1967). They married in February 1927 when Carrie was 15 years old and Joseph [[Pedofork|was 30]], despite they lied about their age in their marriage certificate.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170825073641/http://www.harveypowers.com/wynn/wynn/d141.html</ref><ref>https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSZT-H9QK-J?cc=1726957</ref> Joe died in 1955, after falling from a horse-drawn wagon.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200603075643/http://genealogytrails.com/vir/charlotte/obits_w.html</ref> Barb's maternal grandfather was an alcoholic moonshiner, who carried out affairs and failed to provide even the most basic support for her mother's family.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180425032751/http://www.harveypowers.com:80/wynn/wynn/d118.html</ref> For whatever reason, Barb believes that she is descended from [[Anne Boleyn]], but this is impossible given that Elizabeth I, Boleyn's only daughter, died without an heir. She also thinks that a more recent ancestor named [[Daniel Weston]] boarded the ''Mayflower'', but no such person exists.

By some scary coincidence, her birthday, October 1, was the same day the [[wikipedia:2017 Las Vegas shooting| Las Vegas mass shooting]] occurred in which shooter Stephen Paddock killed 60 people and left 867 injured before committing suicide shortly afterward.

[[Image:0839-MomDesi.JPG|thumb|Barb, emboldened by her hoard, evolved into a Snorlax over time.]]

Barb grew up in a low-income farming household in [[Wikipedia:Red Oak, Virginia|Red Oak, Virginia]], a rural area in the far south of the state. An early memory from when she was two years old was seeing her father covered in silver paint, having fallen off the roof while painting it and nearly killed himself (had he been drinking on the job?).<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref> She graduated from {{w|Randolph-Henry High School}} in {{w|Charlotte Court House, Virginia}} in 1960. Due to family poverty, she was obliged to sew her own clothing.<ref name=younger>[[June 2021 social media posts#Chris larps as his younger self]]</ref> While at Randolph-Henry, she was treasurer of her school's chapter of the [[Women's rights|Future Homemakers of America]], a member of the Randolph-Henry bus patrol, a typist for her school yearbook, ''The Log'', and a member of the [[Spanish]] Club. She was also a member of many other school organizations, suggesting that she was very involved in extracurricular activities while in high school. She was also known for her perfect attendance record from her sophomore through her senior years of high school. According to her senior yearbook, her nickname in high school was Bobcat.

Barb had two boyfriends in high school, one of whom was [[Aunt Harriet and Uncle Tom|Tom Ashby]], who would later marry her younger sister Harriet. According to a [[January 2012 Facebook Posts#February is coming up|Facebook status]] Chris wrote on 29 January 2012, Barbara lost her virginity during her high school years. Why Chris knows this is anyone's guess, although it's possible that he learned the basic principles of [[Honest Content]] from Mommy Dearest. In a [[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022|letter]] from 10 May 2022, however, Chris denies that Barbara ever had sex with her high school boyfriends, although he claims that her sisters accused her of doing so.

According to a [[Incest Texts|leaked message]] to [[Bella]], Barbara has had sex with eight different men over the course of her life (not including Chris). She claims to have never [[mass debating|masturbated]].

Shortly after graduating from high school in 1960, Barb left Red Oak and "decided to set off on her own... [[Love Quest|in search for romance and her future]]". Apparently, she left in order to go to college, breaking off her relationship with Tom, who was one year her junior. After Barb moved away, "her siblings, cousins, and others in Redoak" began to spread rumors about her and call her a slut in her absence. Around this time her mother also disowned her.<ref>[[Rebeckah Bentley E-mails#Chris has scabies too]]</ref> As it turned out, her relationship with her family would never get much better. Barb's relationship with Harriet and Tom is especially strained. Chris stated in a leaked video that he and his mother are not liked by the members of the Weston family who have outlived Corrina.<ref>[[Message for John Kyle]]</ref>

According to Chris, Barb majored in "accounting and numbers".<ref name=younger></ref> Where Barb attended college is unknown, but it may have been {{w|Wake Forest College}}, where her first husband Ran Coleman Yeatts was studying at the time. Wherever it was, she probably dropped out in 1961, when he graduated and married her. Her divorce report with Jerry and marriage certificate to Bob both say that she had not completed any years of college education.

==Cole and his various fathers==
[[Image:0467-CWC18th20.jpg|thumb|left|Cole visits for Chris's [[My big 18th party (story)|18th birthday]].]]

From approximately 1961 through 1980, Barbara lived in [[Richmond]]. Over the course of her adult life prior to meeting Bob she had relationships with five men, three of whom are known by name.<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref>

Barbara gave birth to [[Cole Smithey|Cole]] in 1963. Throughout his life, Barbara has lied to Cole about who his father is because she is {{w|Maury Povich}} trash.

Based on his experiences with various stepfathers, [[Cole Smithey|Cole]] thinks that Barbara has a "proclivity to isolate herself via scurrilous mates".<ref name="coleemail2">[[:File:Cole 07-03-06-2.PNG|6 March 2007 email from Cole to Chris, page 2]]</ref> The use of "scurrilous" in this statement makes no sense, suggesting [[Cole Smithey|Cole]] tries to use [[Chris and English|big]] words to impress people – a family trait, perhaps.

===Ran Coleman Yeatts===
[[Image:RanColemanYeatts-WakeForestHowler1961.png|thumb|Cole's [[TRUE and HONEST]] biological father, Ran Coleman Yeatts Sr., from the 1961 Wake Forest College yearbook.]]

Records found by Cole in Richmond show that Barb married one '''Ran ''Cole''man Yeatts''' on June 17, 1961. Yeatts was born on 27 December 1939 in {{w|Pittsylvania County, Virginia}} but grew up in {{w|South Hill, Virginia|South Hill}}, a town about 35 miles east of Red Oak which also happens to be the hometown of Barb's mother Carrie and her moonshiner dad.<ref name=yeatts>[http://web.archive.org/web/20130211071320/http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timesdispatch/obituary.aspx?n=Ran-Yeatts&pid=88787372 Ran Coleman Yeatts obituary]</ref> Yeatts graduated from {{w|Park_View_High_School_(South_Hill,_Virginia)|Park View High School}} in South Hill in 1957 (not to be mistaken with {{w|Park_View_High_School_(Loudoun_County,_Virginia)|Park View High School}} in {{w|Sterling,_Virginia|Sterling, Virginia}}), and later that year he was enrolled at {{w|Wake Forest College}} in {{w|Winston-Salem, North Carolina}} (now Wake Forest University).<ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28659?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=94&r=0&xywh=2347%2C1534%2C681%2C414</ref><ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28685?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=77&r=0&xywh=1396%2C1140%2C926%2C414</ref><ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28686?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=81&r=0&xywh=460%2C1252%2C1363%2C609</ref><ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28677?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=64&r=0&xywh=2241%2C1842%2C1441%2C875</ref> He graduated from Wake Forest with a Bachelor of Arts degree before April 1961, a few months before he and Barb married.<ref>http://www.archive.org/stream/howler1960wake/howler1960wake_djvu.txt</ref> Coincidentally, Bob Chandler was also living in Winston-Salem around the same time, where he was married to Patricia Faye Harley and working as an engineer.

According to their marriage certificate, Ran was living in Richmond at the time of the marriage, while Barb was still living in Red Oak. Although however, newspaper in April 1961, 2 months before marriage, said that Barb was already living in Richmond. They were married at a Baptist church in {{w|Wylliesburg, Virginia}} near Red Oak (which the divorce documents misspell as "Sylliesburg").

A divorce was granted to Barb on 15 May 1963, at which point she was pregnant with Cole and living in Richmond. The decree states that Ran deserted her on 28 April 1962, although the final digit in "1962" appears to have been altered from a "3". The divorce license lists "0" children, although it is unclear if such a document would have taken unborn Cole into account. Cole was born shortly after the divorce on 24 July 1963.

To further fuel Cole's rage, Yeatts would visit him during his childhood and be introduced as a "friend of the family".<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails" /> After Cole hired a private detective, Barbara hung up on him when he called to ask about his father.<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails" />

Yeatts later remarried and died aged 67 on 6 June 2007. His obituary in the ''Richmond Times-Dispatch'' makes no mention of Cole or Barb, although Ran did have a grandson also named Cole.<ref name=yeatts/>

===Jack Smithey===
Barb insists that Cole's father is '''Jack Dale Smithey''', to whom she claims she was once married. However, Cole was unable to find a marriage license for the couple or any photographs from their alleged wedding.<ref name="coleemail2" /> Indeed, Christorians have been frustrated in their efforts to locate any such evidence; their ability and persistence in documenting everything Chris-adjacent rivals that of any private detective. In 1995, Cole's friend, syndicated cartoonist {{w|Ted Rall}}, made an Internet post questioning the whereabouts of Jack Dale Smithey. According to the post, Smithey lived in Richmond in 1963 (the year Cole was born) and was a Merchant Marine. He later worked as a trucker for Pilot Trucking in North Carolina but had not been heard of since 1964.<ref>http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SURNAMES/1995-04/0798938259</ref> Cole eventually hired a private detective who tracked down Jack Smithey in {{w|Sarasota, Florida}}.<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails">[[Cole Smithey E-mails]]</ref> Nevertheless, newspaper articles from the 1960s indicate that she used the surname Smithey up until she married Jerry Harmon in 1968.

According to Barbara, she and Jack had a "fancy" wedding which was attended by her sisters and mother. Chris told Cole that Barbara considers Jack "a total drunk and loser".<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails">[[Cole Smithey E-mails]]</ref>

In [[July 2021]], (in the middle of his incestuous affair with her), Chris asked Barbara about her relationship with Jack.

{{quote|Short story of it is that Jack and Barbie went out, sexed up, knocked her up.

Then he hit the road; was not in it to be a daddy. The life on the open road called out to him more.|Chris on Jack}}

Chris also mentioned that no photos of Jack were kept at home, though they did have photos of Jerry.<ref>[[WCT DMs#Barbara's ex]]</ref>

===Jerry Harmon===
[[Image:JerryHarmonandBarb.PNG|thumb|Jerry Harmon performing magic tricks with Barb assisting him, December 1968.]]

'''Walter Jerome "Jerry" Harmon, Jr.''' is Barbara's former lover and the alleged sinister stepfather of [[Cole Smithey]], Chris's older half-brother. Jerry was born on July 1st, 1931 in {{w|Springfield, Massachusetts}} but grew up in {{w|Millboro, Virginia}} and later Richmond. Barbara claims to have married Jerry after her relationships with Jack Dale Smithey and Ran Coleman Yeatts. However, in the course of Cole's investigation into his family history, he was unable to find a marriage certificate.<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails" /> However there is a divorce record that Jerry and Barbara married on 18 June 1968 in Washington D.C. and divorced on 7 January 1980 after one year of living apart, three weeks before Bob had divorced his first wife Patricia. In a Facebook comment from 2020, Cole claims that Jerry adopted him in 1966.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/blendonlodge339/posts/1084760088251976</ref>

{{quote|I grew up in an abusive household with Barbara and my former stepfather Jerry, where physical and mental punishments ran the gambit from bare-assed beatings to cold showers to bizarre scenarios acted out with glee by two deeply neurotic adults...

{{-}}

In his article "[[Saturday Night Special]]", Cole would further elaborate on his first stepfather. According to Cole, Jerry was a professional magician who lived with Barbara in a second-floor apartment adjacent to the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond during the early 1970s. Jerry allegedly kept a gun in his nightstand drawer, which his stepson would play with, and was out cheating on his wife when an intruder came to the apartment, leaving Barb to have to fire the gun to scare them off. The shot ricocheted and nearly killed Cole as a result, hitting the wall a hair's breadth behind his head. Cole would later remove this article from his blog.

In a later article, "[[Operation Snowball|Operation Snowball: My First Career in Show Business]]", Cole describes how Jerry, Barb, and himself took part in an annual traveling magic show which performed at mental hospitals in Virginia every [[Christmas]] season from 1967 to 1976. The trio performed under the name of "King Karnak, Barbie, and Cole". Each show would end with Jerry chopping off Barb's head with a guillotine.<ref>https://www.colesmithey.com/articles/2017/09/operation-snowball-my-first-career-in-show-business.html</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/blendonlodge339/posts/1084760088251976</ref> Interestingly, Jerry married Rose LaNora Lotts in 1981, whom he first met when she was employed as an assistant for "King Karnak", suggesting that she replaced Barb in more ways than one.<ref>http://sjf.stparchive.com/Archive/SJF/SJF01221981P08.php</ref>

[[Bob Chandler|Bob]] and Barbara met at "Maddy's Pub" in Richmond<ref>[[April 2012 Facebook posts#Fear of the future]]</ref> (probably Matt's British Pub in Shockoe Slip, where Bob was a sing-along leader)<ref>[[IT TOOK A TALKING BEAR TO GIVE THE NAME A YOUNG BOY LOVES]]</ref> one night in 1979.

They married in 1980.<ref name="Mumble 3.5" /> Chris claims that "Barbara, In her own words, Married him because 'He owned a house'".<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref> Later that year Bob was transferred from Richmond to [[Charlottesville]]. They settled in the outlying suburb of [[Ruckersville]].

Barbara worked for several years as a secretary for Virginia Power (VEPCO, today called [[Wikipedia:Dominion Energy|Dominion Energy]]) in the finance department,<ref name=younger></ref> and also worked for {{w|Circuit City}}.<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Date_with_Emily#Eating_spaghetti_and_conversing_(0:36:49%E2%80%930:44:46):~:text=Bob%3A%20And%20uh%2C%20she%20worked%20for%2C%20um%2CCircuit%20City%20for%20a%20while%20before%20she%20retired.</ref>

In September [[1993]], Chris and Bob moved from Ruckersville to Chesterfield County near Richmond so that Chris would be able to attend middle school at a mainstream school.<ref>[[Chris's Wikipedia profile#His Early Years - Birth to 1992]]</ref> Barbara did not accompany them and remained in Ruckersville. Chris claimed that the separation allowed Barbara to continue working at her job with Virginia Power until retirement and that she still visited Bob and Chris every weekend during the time she lived separately from them. After going into retirement when Chris was in the eighth grade (early 1996), Barbara came to live with her husband and son in Chesterfield.<ref>[[Mailbag 32#Chris is no stranger to stupid name changes]]</ref><ref>[[:Image:0078-CWCNote2.jpg]]</ref>

With both Barbara and Bob retired, they spent their twilight years from 2000 onward living in their Ruckersville home with Chris. It is difficult to ascertain what their relationship was like, but sources such as the tour of the house would suggest that Chris's parents neglected the [[14_Branchland_Court|family home]] and spent most of their time apart in separate areas of the house. According to Chris, Barbara had not had sex with Bob for at least two decades before his death. They began sleeping in different rooms sometime around the mid-2000s "because they're not as close as they should, used to or can be".<ref>[[IRC (27 December 2008)]]</ref> It can be presumed that as they got older, they grew more distant, but never to the point of wanting a divorce.

Barbara became a widow on 6 September 2011 when Bob died.<ref name="BobObit">http://web.archive.org/web/20130211071324/http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dailyprogress/obituary.aspx?n=robert-franklin-chandler&pid=153539600</ref>

==Treatment of Chris==

[[File:Barbara1993cropped.png|thumb|Barb c. 1993.]]
[[Image:0033-MommasBirthday.jpg|thumb|Age was not kind to Barb.]]

===Abuse and manipulation===
{{quote|And he told me of mom saying she was going to pack up and leave the house, then I ran downstairs, finding her on the couch; she was soo miserable and sad; she talked of Wanting to Die, "you don't even have to change my clothes, you can just bury me in what I have on." I was soo sad and crying and soo sorry for the way I misbehaved; we hugged and made up a bit.|An example of Barb's manipulation.<ref name=magfest>[[Gal Pal E-mails 3#Borb vs MAGfest]]</ref>}}

Barb has had a long history of abusing and/or [[Chris and manipulation|manipulating]] her children. For example, she has often used threats of suicide to guilt Chris into obeying her whims. When Bob and Chris once tried to discuss cleaning the hoard with Barb, she responded by threatening suicide.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200810205450/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/yt-1-12-skylanders-imaginators-leader-christine-w-chandler-random-review-n-stuff.27570/page-9 </ref>
She also threatened suicide to her family during the [[Ivy]] Saga, supposedly as a response to the stress she was going through.<ref name="IvyQ&A"/>

In an episode from 2011, when Chris failed to book himself a hotel room for [[MAGfest]], due to being broke, and planned to sleep in his car,<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 29]]</ref> Barb prevented him from going by pointing out the "crime risk and chilly temperatures", threatening to lock him out of their house, claiming that she would pack up and leave, and later told him she wanted to die. After Chris folded and went to his room to cry about it, she gave him a "half-payment of a copy of DC Universe Online to make up for not allowing [him] to go".<ref name=magfest></ref> Later that year, after Chris became a [[tomgirl]], Barb tried to stop him from wearing dresses and make-up by telling him she feared he would kill her. She then ordered him to sit down, and she cut his hair.<ref name="jackie26"></ref>

It also appears that Chris's diet is not a concern for Barb. The night after the Chandler family moved back to Ruckersville, Bob and Chris refused a spaghetti dinner offered by Barb. As a response, Barb decided to forego cooking for her family and has not made a meal for Chris since then.<ref>See emails sent by [[Jackie E-mails 24|Chris to Jackie on 24 and 26 April 2011]].</ref>

In addition, Barb has used the specter of old age for her own gain, by manipulating Chris into thinking she will have a heart attack. This tactic has been used so often that Chris will panic and call 911 if Barb does not answer the phone when he calls her to check up on her when he is out of the house.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Marvin)#Welfare Check on Barbara]]</ref> When Barb and Chris were both arrested for [[assault and battery]], Chris was extremely worried about her health, saying in an e-mail:

{{quotebox|My mother fought the police in my defense, and she was handcuffed and I was emotionally distraught, I screamed and Screamed and SCREAMED, until an ambulance came for my mother to take her to UVA Hospital; she was okay, but her Blood Pressure was high.

I prayed a LOT to Jesus for my release and safe return home with my mother. And I banged the cell door with both my feet while lying on a folding mattress on the floor (to get those bastards to let me see and talk to my mother

Only after seeing my mother in her suit pass by my second cell, did I start to calm down. I was REALLY WORRIED about my mother and her health. She Needed Me, and I Needed Her.}}

The [[Man in the Pickle Suit]] summed up Chris's relationship with Barb:

{{quoteboxgreen|Well, I don't think they talk very much. However, no, Chris is Barb's hand servant. She screams for him and he comes running. She has him change the newspaper the dogs shit on, she has him run errands to bring her stuff, and she used to have him haul her goodwill crap to the car, and then from the car into the house.

''...''

I think Barb's yelling has gotten much less frequent nowadays. It seems like she's pretty feeble nowadays. Chris is just as scared of Barb as he used to be though. I don't think he realizes how much power he has over Barb nowadays.

They're really physically affectionate in a strange way. Chris is pretty touchy feely with women because of habits he learned by spending time with Barb.<ref name=qualified>https://web.archive.org/web/20210906155444/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/is-chris-really-qualified-to-be-caring-for-barb.16435/page-4</ref>}}

After Bob died, Barb's abuse of Chris escalated. She treated him as a slave and forced him to be on-call at all times. Around [[2013]], she forced Chris to move out of his bedroom, specifically so she could bark orders at him more efficiently, by throwing a tantrum and wrecking his possessions.

{{quoteboxgreen|a few months to a year before the fire, Chris stopped being permitted to sleep separately from Barb, in his bedroom. He had to sleep closer to Barb, because she needed to be able to yell for him to go to [[sheetz]] and buy her crap, and he wasn't able to hear her up in his bedroom. He kind of tried to resist at first, but then she got super pissed and threw a tantrum. She wrecked his room and like flipped everything over because he was trying to sleep on his own.<ref name=qualified/>}}

===Financial exploitation===
{{quote|she is also being Very Annoying. “Christine, Let’s put this random good item on eBay. I REALLY Need the Money for not only my bill payments, but also, we need more food here. I am greedy too.”

“OH! You sold something of Yours? I Want $50 From That”, she is constantly pestering and bugging me.

According to Cole, Bob and Barbara left Chris alone every day for years with the [[abusive babysitter]] while going out drinking, effectively ignoring the manifestation of the earliest symptoms of autism.<ref>[[:Image:Cole 07-03-06-3.PNG|6 March 2007 email from Cole to Chris, page 3]]</ref> After Chris's initial diagnosis, and after their negligence was inevitably thrown back in their face, Barbara resorted to any means necessary to coax Chris into talking, most notoriously by bribing him with toys.<ref>[[Song of Christian]]</ref>

[[Image:ImWorkingOnIt.png|thumb|left|Chris and Barbara in an intimate moment. A less subtle case of foreshadowing.]]

While both of Chris's parents are largely responsible for his current state, Barb has more often than not been the most active in protecting Chris from recognizing any failure or shortcoming on his part, doing everything from being his sole commission with [[Cutco]] to going as his date to his [[Manchester High School#The Senior Prom|senior prom]].

This pattern of accountability continues even into Chris's adult years. On at least two occasions, most notably after he was banned permanently, Barbara visited [[the GAMe PLACe]] attempting to protect and defend her little snowflake and argue his case with [[Michael Snyder]], but to no avail.

As first evidenced by the "GAMe PLACe/4Chan picture" incident, she is extremely paranoid regarding Chris's online misadventures, likely because she fears that he'll [[Jerkhief|get]] [[Bagget|arrested]] and [[28 October 2011|go to prison]]. Given some of the violent states of some of his videos and Chris's [[Arrest|track record]], she is probably not too far from the truth. She may also suspect that Chris is a [[pedofork|pedophile]], as she [[Mumble 10| thought it was possible that he may have fallen for a ''To Catch a Predator''-esque sting operation]] during the [[Julie]] fiasco. She even seems to suspect that [[Megan Schroeder]], one of the few women Chris has known who ''was not'' out to troll him, is partially responsible for the persecution he has endured over the years. She does her part to keep his activities under control by acting as Chris's personal concierge, as seen when she interrogated [[Ivy]] for about half an hour before letting her speak to Chris.<ref name="IvyQ&A">[[Ivy Q&A]]</ref>

Barbara constantly babies Chris and tells him how handsome he is.<ref>[[Sonichu Girls]] and [[White knight emails]]</ref> She also told Chris that the reason he often "blanks out" or gets confused is not that he is an absent-minded, slothful buffoon, but that he is a "[[Chris and art|creative genius]] and is simply overwhelmed by having so many creative ideas".<ref>[[Kacey Call 12]]</ref>

However, it seems that even Barb has her limits. Like Bob, she was [[Tomboys And Tomgirls of Virginia#Re: Coming out to my parents|ashamed of Chris's effeminate escapades]], claiming that she did not raise a daughter, and that "tomgirl" is not a thing. [[Tomboys And Tomgirls of Virginia#Re: Mothers|She tried and failed]] to get Chris to stop wearing a bra and panties, even offering to pay him to stop.

===Intimate behavior===

}}

To cap off their relationship, Chris revealed in private conversations with multiple people that Barb has spooned with him.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxGU4nSlX0M ''PVCC NEW info: on Chris and Barbara spoon eachother!'' (YouTube)]</ref>

From [[Arthur Spatchcock]], on Chris sharing a bed with his mother:

{{quoteboxred|Story time, kids. Now most of us are aware of the fire; how Barb and Chris were displaced for some time while the house was getting renovated. You know how Chris was all whiny about his legos, right? Some getting melted, shit like that...well he kind of left out that his own bed was ruined as well given it had years of grease soaked into it because not bathing is so chic in his eyes. So when they got back home Chris didn't have his own bed anymore so he was sharing one with Barb instead. This came with the horrifying addendum that Barb wanted to spoon with him; I don't know if he was little spoon or big spoon but I know she was unimpressed and one night just unloaded on him angrily enough that Chris decided to get his own bed with his own money. So it goes without saying that from the time Chris and Barb got back home [[DStecks|until he got that grand]] he was sleeping in the same bed as his mother.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190423212237/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/fb-4-11-e-begging-intensifies.19356/page-5</ref>}}

In August 2016, the [[Man in the Pickle Suit]] observed Chris and Barb in public during a court hearing:<ref>[[26 December 2014]]</ref>

{{quoteboxred|Barb and Chris are way too physically intimate. It's one thing to describe their creepy relationship, it's quite another to watch it IRL. They hold hands and Chris is always putting his arm around her and rubbing her shoulders sensually. That's shit I'd do to someone I'd want to bang. Not a family member. It's weird.}}

{{quote|I am not a "Bates". OMG.|Chris, in denial<ref>[[Misc texts]]</ref>}}

Barb's habit of cuddling with Chris had been going on since Bob was alive, and he knew of it, but, due to Barb's manipulation, he was not able to stop her.<ref>http://archive.is/zwWV9</ref> In [[August 2016]], Chris [[Honest content|admitted]] to having [[Chris and sex#Dreams of sex with Barb|incestuous fantasies about Barb]], prompting further analysis of their uncomfortably intimate relationship. Chris sometimes refers to her as [[Darling|"dear" or "darling"]], as he usually does for [[DoopieDoOver|would-be sweethearts]]. In his [[Twitch#CLog 04172018 - Buy My Toys|April 2018 Twitch stream]], when Chris got his mother to reluctantly say "[[Random-access humor|turn me loose, you silly goose]]" after hugging him, he commented that she "used to do that more [[Chris and English|flirtingly]]".

In [[June 2021]], not long before his [[Affair With Mother|incestuous relationship]] with his mom allegedly began, Chris, completely unprompted, claimed in a [[Facebook]] post that he and Barb had never slept in the same bed:<ref>[[June 2021 social media posts#CPU stuff and Barb]]</ref>

{{quotebox|Also, during the time my mom and I slept in my bedroom, we slept in Separate Furniture; she slept on the couch, and I slept in the bed. She and I Never ever had slept in the same bed together during those short months between ‘11 and ‘12.

Never in the same bed. ⚡️💙⚡️}}

Throughout 2021, Chris was feeling several instances of sexual frustration, hitting on [[MKRNightVee|several]] [[Annie Ikenberry|women]] [[Isabella Loretta Janke|of]] [[The Suitress|interest]]. It has gotten to the point where Chris would release all of this sexual tension on Barbara in mid-June, where he would continuously have sexual intercourse with her every three days. The context in which this has all happened is hazy at best, as information on the affair primarily came from an [[Incest Call|infamous call]] where he describes incestuous acts, and a few leaked chats Chris had with people. Throughout his affair with Barbara, Chris would hint at having such an affair online, calling Barbara a "sweetheart over 50". Sometime after [[the Suitress]] had leaked a chunk of the call on a Discord Server, which would soon after be posted onto various websites by her friends, several concerned observers would contact authorities about the affair, leading to his arrest.

==Health problems==
{{protip|Despite being heavily speculated on and assumed by Christorians, it is not actually known if Barb has dementia or some other degenerative brain disease. It is speculated that she might even be deliberately faking senility in videos in order to garner sympathy in begging videos, as she has been seen and heard acting lucidly when she was not aware that she was being recorded for the internet. With that in mind, Chris has indicated that she is struggling mentally.}}

===Mental===
Barb is understood by most to be a highly unstable woman, and worryingly, many of her behaviors can also be observed in Chris. Many believe her to be selfish and extremely narcissistic, on account of her baseless belief that she is [[Daniel Weston|descended from]] [[Anne Boleyn|Tudor high nobility]], and the pathological manner in which she lies and assigns blame to others, even in instances where the fault clearly lies with her. All of these traits are shared by Chris, with Barb's apparent encouragement. Additionally, many aspects of her relationship with Chris are consistent with [https://web.archive.org/web/20201112020245/https://www.daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com/mothers-with-narcissistic-personality-disorder/ narcissistic motherhood], which is a fascinating, but complex, a topic too lengthy to be discussed in detail here. Although Chris seems to be her [https://web.archive.org/web/20201112024302/https://www.daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com/golden-child-and-scapegoat/ "golden child"], she does not shy from mistreating him if he displeases her. This can be seen in an email to [[Jackie]] from May 2011; Chris claimed that his mother flew into a rage over his [[tomgirl]] inclinations, forcing him to submit to a haircut and [[Death threats|threatening to kill him]].<ref name="jackie26"></ref>

Aside from her narcissism, Barb is also infamous to Christorians for her hoarding. During Chris's youth, she would create piles of clothes as tall as her son.<ref name=younger></ref> Chris has labeled her a "pack rat",<ref>[[Father Call]]</ref> and on more than one occasion has indicated his displeasure at her hoarding and the consequent state of [[14 Branchland Court|their house]], although neither he nor Bob are known to have ever seriously challenged it. Barb compulsively hoards her purchases, particularly from Goodwill, which, by [[2009]], had rendered the living room uninhabitable.<ref>[[Tour of Chris's House]]</ref> When Bob was admitted to the hospital for the final time, he was quarantined for bug bites, ostensibly due to the conditions in the Chandler household.<ref>[[Rocky Shoemaker call]]</ref> The situation did not improve after Bob's passing, either. A [[Tour of Chris's House II|second house tour video]] made by Chris in [[2013]] revealed that Barb's hoarding had gotten severe enough to render entire rooms completely inaccessible, with some rooms literally full of stuff to within inches of the ceiling, and others reduced to crevices carved into walls of junk.

Barb's hoarding was predicted by many to lead to disaster, and finally did on [[2014 house fire|10 January 2014]], when Chris accidentally started a house fire in the morning while trying to brew coffee in the bathroom, because the kitchen had been among the rooms blocked off by Barb's junk. Naturally, Barb's hoard provided ample kindling for the fire, and the house was severely damaged before the fire could be contained. In fact, given the state of the house in the second tour video, it's surprising that Chris and Barb were able to escape. Unsurprising, however, is the fact that one of the Chandlers' remaining cats died in the blaze, and one of the firefighters sent to the scene also suffered unspecified injuries.

While the Chandlers [[Rental House|relocated]], pending repairs to their home, Barb's stuff went into storage. When repairs were completed a year later, Barb had all of it moved back to 14 Branchland Court, and is not known to have disposed of any of it, even though, by all accounts, most of what she and Chris were able to salvage is either fire, smoke or water damage, rendering it completely useless. This was confirmed in April 2017, when Chris mentioned the laundry room contained a "mountain pile" of 20-40 bags of dirty, damaged clothing that had not been washed since the fire occurred.<ref>[[April 2017 Facebook posts#Offering The Classic shirt for $12,000 minimum]]</ref>

Barb has also been long speculated to suffer from a form of dementia due to later video appearances (mostly begging videos) showing her as struggling with forming sentences without a degree of prompting by Chris. Some initially speculated that Chris and Barb were taking advantage of her feeble, elderly state for the purpose of emotionally manipulating their audience into giving them more donations out of pity, as there were other videos where Barb appeared to be more cognizant and seemed to be able to handle her own finances to some degree. It was suggested by some with close knowledge of Chris, such as [[The Man in the Pickle Suit|Marvin]], that ''she'' was the one who encouraged him to make the videos with her in them.

However, in light of the [[Chris and sex#Incest|incest]] situation, in which Chris noted that she seemed "partially confused" on at least one of the occasions that he jumped her bones, how much of her situation was an act (presuming if any of it was) and how much is real has been called into question. Barb was evaluated at a hospital after being separated from her son and was able to return to her home after he was incarcerated, though it should still be noted that the bar for being deemed qualified enough to take care of oneself is low. [[Fan visits#Barb Visit|A later visit by Chris's fans]], where Barb did not know that she was being recorded, may have demonstrated that she has a degree of difficulty with cognitive function, or at least that she suffers from hearing loss. This would also somewhat explain the reason behind the [[November 2021]] traffic collision that she was involved in, where she failed to yield the right-of-way and got T-Boned by a tractor-trailer on the driver's side.<ref>[[:File:2002DodgeCaravanCrashRecord2.jpg]]</ref> Since then, she's presumably had to rely on senior caregivers and extended family to live off of since [[Chris|her youngest]] is too preoccupied with [[Jail Saga|other matters]] to take care of her.<ref>[[Jail_Letter_-_27_November_2021#cite_note-2]]</ref> In [[June 2022]], a letter from Chris confirmed that Barb is suffering from a "falling mentality", although it's not clear what that entails.<ref>[[Jail Letter - 27 June 2022]]</ref>

===Weight===
[[Image:Cheers01.jpg|thumb|Artist's depiction.]]

Like Chris, Barbara was [[obesity|obese]] at the time of his discovery by the internet. As late as the 1990s, Barbara was reasonably slim, but she, along with Chris, ballooned out as the 2000s rolled along, to the point of resembling an American serial killer {{w|Rose West}}. Her massive size earned her the affectionate nickname '''Snorlax''' from the [[trolls]]. Barb's size may have led to her [[Chris and stress|sleeping a lot]]<ref>[[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.7]]</ref> and usually skipping [[Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church|church]].<ref>[[Church audio]]</ref>

However, according to eyewitness reports, Barbara lost weight in 2012.<ref>[[This is how the Trial went‎]]</ref> Her weight loss is visible in photos Chris took of her at a 2012 Mythbusters tour stop in Washington, DC.<ref>[[:File:BarbMarch2012.png]]</ref>

This has continued into her old age. When she attended Chris's [[26 December 2014|court hearings]] throughout [[2015]], Christorians in attendance invariably noted that although she has lost weight, she appears to have low muscle mass; probably due to her sedentary lifestyle. In particular, at [[26 December 2014#15 October Hearing|his last hearing]], it was noted that Barb appeared to be growing increasingly frail and possibly senile, as she did not present as very responsive, and appeared much more submissive to Chris than she has otherwise been known to be. Chris also reportedly got short with her due to her poor hearing.

In 2018, Chris decided to cash in on the Snorlax joke, claiming that his mother found it funny. He listed a plush Snorlax for sale on [[eBay]], at $200.

{{quote|Hey, Everyone! Those in the meme-know: the times when my mother used to be large and lazy, everyone called her a Snorlax. Well, Barbara likes the joke too, and can laugh it off as she is doing a lot better these days. So, one time only, she signed a Snorlax Plush, and YOU can own it; a 20% More Awesome Collectible. A personal Certificate or Letter of Authenticity will be included. Thank you.}}

==="Holey buttocks"===
In a [[Twitter|tweet]] to Cole from June 29, 2013, Chris tells him that "[he] ought to be over here putting bandages on [their] Mom's holey buttocks". It was not clear exactly what sort of problem this referred to, though it hardly sounds pleasant. On October 14, 2013, Chris elaborated in a Facebook post, stating, "my mother stresses me with her continuous rants about her damn miniature scabie flies, her suffering, the [[Financhu_Crisis|low finances]] and shit!!!". The consensus was that the so-called "holey buttocks" were, in fact, lesions. It is now believed that Barb currently has a colony of parasitic mites, rather than flies, that have burrowed into her prodigious posterior. Naturally, while Barb is being eaten alive by parasites other than Chris, her child whines about having to take care of her.

===Dental===
In August 2014, Chris begged for money on [[Facebook]], supposedly to pay [[List of toys|dental fees]], as he claimed his mother had cavities in her teeth that needed treatment. In July 2016, Barb herself begged for money.<ref>[[Donations Further Requested, Please]]</ref> Chris and Barb restarted begging for [[Lego|dental]] money in early 2018.

===Hearing loss===
During Chris's 2014 court hearing for [[pepper spray]]ing a [[GameStop]] employee, [[Marvin]] was in attendance and observed Chris imply that Barb had hearing loss.<ref>[[26 December 2014#15 October Hearing]]</ref>

{{quote|After a bit, the PD went up to the judge and they called Chris up. Chris starts getting impatient with Barb. He said something like "are your ears clogged up??" and then "wanna follow me so you can hear what's going on?" Then she got up and trundled up there to accompany Chris.|Marvin}}

On 20 September 2021, Reddit user e1ectricthunder visited [[14 Branchland Court]] and had a brief conversation with Barb, during which Barb had difficulty understanding what was being said.<ref>[[Fan visits#e1ectricthunder]]</ref>

===Memory loss===
In the [[July 2021]] [[Incest Texts]], Chris claimed that Barb has memory problems (and that his incestuous acts were helping to heal her).

{{quote|She has had memory problems at time beforehand, yes, but she is being better stimulated in her mind and soul, and it Really Shows! Her mental processing speed is even going back up.|Chris}}

===Aging===
{{quote|They treat, they treat you very badly in there. She, she would, she, she, she would never want me to put her into a home, and I would not do that.|Chris, August 2014<ref>[[Catie Date Conversation Transcript]]</ref>}}

[[File:Barb reacts to Quinn.jpg|thumb|200px|Barb, aged 76, tissue in hand, comforting Chris after [[Jessica Quinn]] broke up with him.]]

In November 2015, [[Family Needs to appreciate Family]] was uploaded to YouTube. The video is a plea for [[Cole Smithey]], [[David Alan Chandler]], and [[Carol Suzanne Chandler]] to visit Barb before "her time runs out", even though the latter two are not Barb's progeny.

On 13 July 2016, Barb unexpectedly starred in [[Donations Further Requested, Please|one of Chris's e-begging videos]]. In the minute-long video, she speaks slowly and almost inaudibly, hardly moving or blinking for the entirety of the video. While some have voiced concerns that this may be an early sign of dementia, it is just as likely that Barb, being a manipulative narcissist, was putting on an act for money. She has since re-appeared in numerous other e-begging videos from Chris, including multiple in [[August 2018]]; her appearance is frail and quite frazzled, and her sentences are often punctuated with tons of "ums" and "uhs", along with extended pauses.

[[File:Barbovertime.gif|left]]
[[File:Our signatures00001.png |thumb|right|Barb and Chris in March 2018, the former wearing the [[$400 gold necklace]].]]
In August 2016, [[Anna McLerran]] posted a photo on Facebook of herself and Barb together.<ref>[[:File:Barb and anna.jpg|With Anna, presumably in August 2016.]]</ref> In it, Barb appears to have aged significantly since her last appearance in the "Donations Further Requested, Please" video.

In November 2016, Barb escaped injury when she slipped and fell.<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#Barb slips and falls]]</ref>

Chris has been increasingly tasked with helping Barb around the house in her elderly age. He stated in April 2017 that he was taking caregiving classes.<ref>[[Live Game Stream - C-Log 04272017]]</ref> Barb is seen in [[Minor Update, Handouts!]], a begging video, in which Chris demands money because Barb drinks costly "meal replacement shakes", possibly referring to a drink such as Ensure.
{{clear}}

===Other===
In [[October 2009]], Barbara spent her birthday at the hospital with what the Chandlers thought was food poisoning.<ref name="9 October 2009">[[9 October 2009]]</ref> Barbara was diagnosed with {{w|colitis}}, a gastrointestinal disease characterized by the inflammation of the colon. It manifests in diarrhea and cramps. Which kind of colitis has yet to be determined. It seems the Chandler family's diet has finally come to affect her, and in order to survive she will have to change her eating habits; considering their stubbornness, this clearly will end badly.

Hearing the plight of the Chandler family, [[Trolls|fans]] of Sonichu created the website "Barbara Chandler Has AIDS" to spread awareness regarding AIDS and to collect donations for research foundations and charities.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201009073942/https://sites.google.com/site/barbarachandlerhasaids/home "Barbara Chandler Has AIDS" Awareness Website]</ref> Chris himself denied the rumor.<ref name="9 October 2009"/>

On 23 August 2013, Chris claimed that Barbara had been afflicted with breast cancer but managed to survive.<ref>[[Facebook#Breast Cancer Awareness]]</ref> He did not give details about when was she diagnosed with the ailment, at what stage it was, or what kind of treatment Barb received.

==Legal problems==
On [[28 October 2011]], Chris and Barb were caught in an incident with [[The GAMe PLACe]] and were actually arrested with several serious charges, with Barb's including felony assault and failure to stop. The two were later released on bail. After a succession of court hearings, Barb, along with her son, was arraigned on her felony charges on 10 July 2012. She was sentenced to community service and was put on a two-year probation, as well as being ordered to pay Michael Snyder's medical bills. When informed of the latter fact during the trial, Chris explained that his mother, a retired, obese, seventy-year-old woman, would take care of the charges for him. No one was particularly surprised at this revelation.

==Financial problems==
[[File:Barb's blankets ebay listings photos 01.jpg |Barb advertising blankets for sale in summer 2018.|thumb|250px]]

Barb lives off social security ({{w|Retirement Insurance Benefits}}) and a small pension from her old job; about $14,000 a year.<ref name=charbincome>[[CWCki Forums posts (Cousin Al)#Chris and Barbara's Income]]</ref>

In 2016, Barb was sued by a Discover bank in Norfolk for not paying [[debt]]s. This came to light on [[March 2016|March 14]], [[2016]], when sharp-eyed [[Kiwi Farms|Kiwis]] noticed that she had a hearing on March 16. Since grave neglect of her debt was likely the cause of her being taken to court, it was widely assumed that she would ignore the summons too. Instead, once the court records were updated, many were surprised to see that not only had Barb attended, but she had represented herself, too. Equally unsurprisingly, this bold move failed to pay off, and Barb was still sentenced to pay $4,706.93.<ref>[[:File:Barb discover bank result.png]]</ref>

Five months later, Barb was sued again, this time by Capital One, for the same reason. The hearing in September resulted in a Default Judgement against Barb, meaning that she did not bother attending. She owes Capital One $15,906.99.<ref>[[:File:Barb vs Capital One Bank result.png]]</ref>

Her out-of-control debt was the catalyst for the [[Financhu Crisis]] of 2016.

From June through July of that year, Barb appeared in three videos:

*[[Donations Required, Serious. Please help]]
*[[Donations Requested, Please]]
*[[Donations Further Requested, Please]]

In the videos, she and Chris beg for donations, claiming to need money for her asthma medication and dental work (although they receive a combined amount of $2,500 per month from the government<ref name=charbincome></ref> and their costly hoards are clearly visible behind them). See the Appearances section for more appearances by Barb.

She has failed to take accountability for ruining the family's finances, trying to pin the blame on Chris,<ref>[[Patreon announcement]]</ref> even though her known debt of over $20,000 is much larger than Chris's.

She and Chris had an inheritance from Bob worth "tens of thousands of dollars" when he passed away, but Barb decided to frivolously spend it on [[Rob Bell]] in an attempt to gain exoneration for her [[assault and battery]] charge.

In the summer of 2018, she joined forces with Chris in selling stuff on [[eBay]], including items from her hoard and her autographs, which some fans bought.

==Appearances==

===In ''Sonichu''===
[[File:Bc.PNG|thumb|200px|Chris gets to live out his fantasy of being (and having) an adequate son.]]

In [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]], Barbara makes a brief appearance in "Classic Sonichu Strips".

In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], the male [[Dating education#In Sonichu|Dating Education]] students are given Barbara dolls to talk to.

In the 2015 revisions to [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris wrote out Bianca's character and replaced her with his mother.

According to the [[CWCipedia]], [[Sandy Rosechu]] and [[Sonichu and Rosechu's children]] go to Anneweston Elementary School.<ref>[[CWCipedia]] on [https://web.archive.org/web/20130831123750/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Wild_Sonichu Wild Sonichu]</ref> It is unknown whether or not Sonichu and Rosechu's children still go to that school after their [[Sonichu and Rosechu's children#Sonichu and Rosechu's children|evolution]].

[[File:Chandlers & Sonichus.jpg|200px|thumb|left]]

In [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], Barb is photoshopped into a "family photo" alongside Chris, Bob and the various Chus.

[[File:Borb, Sonichu12.jpg|200px|thumb|In ''Sonichu'' #12.]]

In [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]], Barb is in a set of pages that is a cross between Chris writing an autobiographical account of himself coming out as a tomgirl to his parents and a tribute to his late father.

Due to Chris's Oedipal complex, Barb is depicted as much more youthful than Bob, even though she was nearly 70 at the time. She is also drawn as being freakishly tall compared to Chris and Bob, despite being shorter than both in real life, though this may just be Chris's inability to keep his characters properly proportioned at work. Barb expresses surprise at her son's announcement of being trans. Chris states that she was "hesitant for a long while", but "got used to my subtle and more changes".

This is a drastic understatement, as the real-life Barb tried to stop his [[tomgirl]] lifestyle in ways including suicide threats, guilt trips (by claiming that she was worried Chris would kill her), paying him to stop cross-dressing, and even ordering him to submit to a haircut. If her attitude towards him cooled, it was only out of resignation rather than acceptance. Evidence of this is when she became angry with him again after finding out that he had successfully changed his name in 2016.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (MasterDisaster)#Name Change Drama]]</ref>

[[File:Chandler family as ponies.png|200px|thumb|left|Barb, pictured at left, as ''Sugar Darling'', in a [[My Little Pony|MLP]]-inspired drawing from [[August 2017]].]]

In August 2017, Chris unveiled a drawing of the Chandler family depicted as [[My Little Pony]] characters, saying they will make further appearances in [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]].

===Videos===
Barbara has appeared in several videos: off-camera in the [[Christian Weston Chandler Interview]], and on-camera (for the first time) in [[You're Always Pretty]]. [[ChandlerFamilyChristmas2004|Two decade-old videos]] were leaked in December 2014 showing the Chandlers celebrating Christmas. Another video of her was recorded by a [[troll]] as she and Chris left court after his hearing in February 2015.

She has most frequently appeared during the [[Financhu Crisis]].

[[Donations Required, Serious. Please help|Two more]] [[Donations Requested, Please|videos]] were released in June 2016 showing Chris begging for donations to buy asthma pills for Barbara. Barbara is shown practically dead in both of these videos so [[Chris and Death|god only knows what will happen in the near future.]]

In a [[Donations Further Requested, Please|video]] released on 13 July 2016, Barbara joins her son in shamelessly e-begging. Her voice tired and hoarse, mouth agape, she stares directly into the camera like a deer caught in the headlights.

She resumed begging in a [[EMERGENCY HOME UPDATE|video]] from April 2017, in which she wears a [[$400 gold necklace]] while asking Chris's audience to give him $1,000 in exchange for his old [[Stamps|stamp album]].

She next appeared in [[Live Game Stream - C-Log 04142017]], when she walked in while Chris was recording.

After more uploads from Chris, Barb starred in another begging video uploaded on 24 May 2017, titled [[We Said Donations No Less than $1 00, US, Please]]. Chris removed the video the next day after people threatened to report him for elder abuse.

After the last failed attempt of getting donations, Barb and Chris engaged in yet another begging video on 16 June 2017, titled [[We need immediate funds, please]]. Ironically, she wore both the [[$400 gold necklace]] and a pearl necklace.

Almost a month had passed, without any appearances from Barb. With Chris getting decent amounts of funds from his [[Patreon]] account, there no longer seemed to be a desire to beg. On 14 July 2017, she makes a small voice-only cameo in a [[Soda Awawawawa Puccho Candy Response]], screaming at him for not closing the front door. She also comments in [[Solar Eclipse Vlogs]], asking Chris if he's ready to go back inside after the eclipse ends.

Barb's first appearance on video in 2018 was in [[Selling Vintage Comic Books (Cole Smithey’s Comic Books)]]. She appeared a couple of weeks later in [[Our signatures]] to demonstrate that her signature, a key selling point in the comic sales, was real. On 9 April, Barb appeared for the seventh time during the Financhu Crisis to beg in [[Buy Our Things off of my eBay to help us, Please.]]

On 16 April, a [[April 2018 Paid Video Requests|bizarre video of a few seconds of Barb standing in a doorway]] was posted to the [[CWCki Club]]. On the 17th, she appeared as a guest on Chris's [[Twitch]] stream.

On 8 May, Barb appeared in [[WE NEED MONEY FOR MORTGAGE NOW, PLEASE!]]. Two days later, Barb appeared in [[May 2018 Paid Video Requests|paid videos giving shout-outs to school shooters Nicholas Cruz and Adam Lanza]].

She watched Chris spray-paint his shoes (and his bedroom carpet) in [[Shoe Colouring]], sitting in the same room with poor ventilation.

In the summer of 2018, she appears in multiple videos to promote her partnership with Chris's eBay business: [[My Mother WORKED Hard, Spent Hard; Needs Money NOW.]], [[Barbara Chandler will be making out autographed photos and posters.]] and [[Barbara’s Blankets]]. She then begged for her car payment money in [[Mother needs a car payment]].

[[Barb confirms she isn't dead]] was her next appearance, a rare non-begging video.

Chris (possessed by [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) got Barb to appear on camera in [[Watching TF2 Analysis Anarchy Red Vs Blue Part 3]] (12 June 2020).

'''Barbara Ann Chandler'''<ref>[[:File:Barbara Chandler Fail to Yield Right-of-Way charge.png]]</ref> (''née'' '''Weston''', formerly '''Yeatts''' and '''Smithey'''; born 1 {{w|1941#October|October 1941}}<ref name=Harvey155>https://web.archive.org/web/20170903151241/http://www.harveypowers.com/wynn/wynn/d155.html</ref>) is the widow of [[Bob Chandler]] and the mother of [[Christian Weston Chandler]] and [[Cole Smithey]]. The sole recognition for her motherly qualities is the Mother of the Year [[2000]] Award Chris created for her.<ref>[[A Week With Christian Chandler#Page 13|A Week With Christian Chandler, page 13]]</ref> She has not won the award since, although Chris did have other, more twisted "gifts" in mind for his mother over twenty years later.

Though Bob has remained relatively popular with [[Trolls]] and Christorians alike, the same cannot be said for Barbara, who has been consistently disliked by nearly everyone but Chris and her late husband – with many members of her own family distancing themselves from her at least since at least the funeral of one of [[Aunt Corrina|Chris's aunts]]. Whereas Bob eventually recognized his shortcomings as a parent to Chris and attempted to correct them late into his life, Barbara has consistently been one of the biggest enablers of Chris's bad behavior since he was a child, on top of emotionally manipulating, threatening, and on occasion physically abusing him (elements which Chris would turn around and use on her later in her life). Barbara has been instrumental in turning Chris into the spoiled manchild that he is, and like Bob before her, has encouraged him not to seek a serious career path in favor of [[Monthly tugboat|getting welfare off of his condition]], in spite of the fact that he could get a minimum-wage job and still qualify for welfare.

It has long been suspected that she has some form of narcissistic personality disorder, which goes hand-in-hand with what we know about her neglectful to abusive relationship with Chris, along with his half-brother [[Cole Smithey]], who received a much worse treatment from her. Her hoarding habits also indirectly lead to the [[2014 house fire]], as sparks from a coffee maker that had no business being plugged into an extension cord in the bathroom burned the paper, plastic, and wood in the room before engulfing the house, and much of the [[Financhu Crisis]] is subsequently on her. Nonetheless, Chris remains unaware of just how bad a parent she's been to him, and he continues to cling to her in an Oedipal fashion (to a horrifying degree, as we'd later find out) as she approaches death's door, and he's no closer to becoming a self-sufficient adult two decades after graduating high school.

For much of the Classic Era of Christory, Barbara was extremely obese and napped a lot (earning her the nickname "{{w|Snorlax}}", after the fat, sleepy [[Pokémon]] of the same name), but she has since shed a ton of weight in her twilight years. This sharp loss of weight, loss of hair color, and knowledge of her son's status as a living internet meme all factored into her role in appearing in multiple begging videos, alongside reportedly playing up senility for the camera to [[Chris and manipulation|manipulate]] viewers into paying for donations. (Whether or not Barb was "just acting" senile remains unclear, particularly with later events in mind.) Unfortunately, [[Chris and money|much like her son]], she spends most of the donations that she receives on frivolous crap rather than working to resolve her mounting [[debt]] that will be placed upon Chris after she kicks the bucket.

Nonetheless, some offered sympathy to Barb in light of some incredibly dark revelations late into her life. Near the end of [[July 2021]], Chris told [[Isabella Loretta Janke]] that [[Affair with Mother|he began an incestuous relationship with Barbara]], long speculated to be suffering from some form of degenerative brain disease, which Chris later indicated was possible; by extension could mean that she may have been [[Chris and sex#Rape|unable to consent]] with her son. Audio of this revelation quickly leaked out to the internet at large. Chris previously told [[Null]] that he'd found a [[boyfriend-free girl]] over the age of 50 who was an accountant years ago – details which match up with a description of who Barb is – leading Null to believe that Chris found a girlfriend who he didn't want people to find out about before eventually realizing that Chris screwed his own mother. Following this horrifying news, Null severed his ties with Chris, and the damage done was swift and immeasurable as both Chris and Barb were vacated from [[14 Branchland Court]] and separated by [[Jerkops|the authorities]], with Barb being placed under medical care and [[Jail Saga|Chris being sent to jail, awaiting trial]].

Barb returned to her residence at some point in [[August 2021]]<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210904171746/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-29-2021-barb-returned-to-14bc.99387//]</ref>, apparently appearing more rattled than usual.<ref>[[Fan visits#e1ectricthunder]]</ref> In an [[October 2021]] letter to a fan, Chris mentioned that he had received a letter from Barb during his stay in jail.<ref name=25letter>[[Jail Letter - 25 October 2021 (Virginia fan)]]</ref> A [[November 2021]] letter to [[Other enablers#Kenneth Engelhardt|Kengle]] revealed that Barb was involved in a car crash claiming that she had suffered two broken ribs and a concussion, and has since been at the mercy of senior caregivers and extended family members who had never wanted to see her ever again until hearing about what she'd been through.<ref>[https://www.onionfarms.com/threads/latest-letter-from-cwc-dated-november-30th-barbara-injured-in-a-automobile-accident.2011/]</ref> This was later confirmed by a CarFax report<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/chris-latest-letter-to-kengle-barb-sustains-serious-injuries-in-automobile-accident-30th-november.107209/page-13#post-10675538 Confirmation of Barb's 2002 Dodge Caravan being totaled]</ref> and Barb being charged with Fail to Yield Right-of-Way for the incident.<ref>[[:File:Barbara Chandler Fail to Yield Right-of-Way charge.png]]</ref>

==Spelling of name==
Barbara's high school yearbook and both her marriage licenses spell her full maiden name as ''Barbara '''Ann''' Weston'', as do other sources like Harvey Powers's genealogical website<ref name=Harvey155/> (her divorce decree omits the middle name entirely). Chris, however, usually (though not consistently) spells her name as ''Barbara '''Anne''' Weston Chandler'' with an e. This may be because he believes she is named after [[Anne Boleyn]].

==Early life==
[[Image:Babs1960.PNG|thumb|left|Barbara's senior photo from high school. While she looks pretty here, she would not age well.]]
{{Quote|Her life was a Redneck Simple Country one. She had mastered sewing, mending, and making clothes and other farm-life facets and Church-Going habits.|Chris describes his mother's childhood<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref>}}
Barbara is the fifth child (out of eight) of Joseph Otto "Joe" Weston, a [[RandomSong1|farmer]] (1896–1955) and Carrie Edna Wynn (1911–1967). They married in February 1927 when Carrie was 15 years old and Joseph [[Pedofork|was 30]], despite they lied about their age in their marriage certificate.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170825073641/http://www.harveypowers.com/wynn/wynn/d141.html</ref><ref>https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSZT-H9QK-J?cc=1726957</ref> Joe died in 1955, after falling from a horse-drawn wagon.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200603075643/http://genealogytrails.com/vir/charlotte/obits_w.html</ref> Barb's maternal grandfather was an alcoholic moonshiner, who carried out affairs and failed to provide even the most basic support for her mother's family.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180425032751/http://www.harveypowers.com:80/wynn/wynn/d118.html</ref> For whatever reason, Barb believes that she is descended from [[Anne Boleyn]], but this is impossible given that Elizabeth I, Boleyn's only daughter, died without an heir. She also thinks that a more recent ancestor named [[Daniel Weston]] boarded the ''Mayflower'', but no such person exists.

By some scary coincidence, her birthday, October 1, was the same day the [[wikipedia:2017|Las Vegas shooting|Las Vegas mass shooting]] occurred in which shooter Stephen Paddock killed 60 people and left 867 injured before committing suicide shortly afterward.

[[Image:0839-MomDesi.JPG|thumb|Barb, emboldened by her hoard, evolved into a Snorlax over time.]]

Barb grew up in a low-income farming household in [[Wikipedia:Red Oak, Virginia|Red Oak, Virginia]], a rural area in the far south of the state. An early memory from when she was two years old was seeing her father covered in silver paint, having fallen off the roof while painting it and nearly killed himself (had he been drinking on the job?).<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref> She graduated from {{w|Randolph-Henry High School}} in {{w|Charlotte Court House, Virginia}} in 1960. Due to family poverty, she was obliged to sew her own clothing.<ref name=younger>[[June 2021 social media posts#Chris larps as his younger self]]</ref> While at Randolph-Henry, she was treasurer of her school's chapter of the [[Women's rights|Future Homemakers of America]], a member of the Randolph-Henry bus patrol, a typist for her school yearbook, ''The Log'', and a member of the [[Spanish]] Club. She was also a member of many other school organizations, suggesting that she was very involved in extracurricular activities while in high school. She was also known for her perfect attendance record from her sophomore through her senior years of high school. According to her senior yearbook, her nickname in high school was Bobcat.

Barb had two boyfriends in high school, one of whom was [[Aunt Harriet and Uncle Tom|Tom Ashby]], who would later marry her younger sister Harriet. According to a [[January 2012 Facebook Posts#February is coming up|Facebook status]] Chris wrote on 29 January 2012, Barbara lost her virginity during her high school years. Why Chris knows this is anyone's guess, although it's possible that he learned the basic principles of [[Honest Content]] from Mommy Dearest. In a [[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022|letter]] from 10 May 2022, however, Chris denies that Barbara ever had sex with her high school boyfriends, although he claims that her sisters accused her of doing so.

According to a [[Incest Texts|leaked message]] to [[Bella]], Barbara has had sex with eight different men over the course of her life (not including Chris). She claims to have never [[mass debating|masturbated]].

Shortly after graduating from high school in 1960, Barb left Red Oak and "decided to set off on her own... [[Love Quest|in search for romance and her future]]". Apparently, she left in order to go to college, breaking off her relationship with Tom, who was one year her junior. After Barb moved away, "her siblings, cousins, and others in Redoak" began to spread rumors about her and call her a slut in her absence. Around this time her mother also disowned her.<ref>[[Rebeckah Bentley E-mails#Chris has scabies too]]</ref> As it turned out, her relationship with her family would never get much better. Barb's relationship with Harriet and Tom is especially strained. Chris stated in a leaked video that he and his mother are not liked by the members of the Weston family who have outlived Corrina.<ref>[[Message for John Kyle]]</ref>

According to Chris, Barb majored in "accounting and numbers".<ref name=younger></ref> Where Barb attended college is unknown, but it may have been {{w|Wake Forest College}}, where her first husband Ran Coleman Yeatts was studying at the time. Wherever it was, she probably dropped out in 1961, when he graduated and married her. Her divorce report with Jerry and marriage certificate to Bob both say that she had not completed any years of college education.

==Cole and his various fathers==
[[Image:0467-CWC18th20.jpg|thumb|left|Cole visits for Chris's [[My big 18th party (story)|18th birthday]].]]

From approximately 1961 through 1980, Barbara lived in [[Richmond]]. Over the course of her adult life prior to meeting Bob she had relationships with five men, three of whom are known by name.<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref>

Barbara gave birth to [[Cole Smithey|Cole]] in 1963. Throughout his life, Barbara has lied to Cole about who his father is because she is {{w|Maury Povich}} trash.

Based on his experiences with various stepfathers, [[Cole Smithey|Cole]] thinks that Barbara has a "proclivity to isolate herself via scurrilous mates".<ref name="coleemail2">[[:File:Cole 07-03-06-2.PNG|6 March 2007 email from Cole to Chris, page 2]]</ref> The use of "scurrilous" in this statement makes no sense, suggesting [[Cole Smithey|Cole]] tries to use [[Chris and English|big]] words to impress people – a family trait, perhaps.

===Ran Coleman Yeatts===
[[Image:RanColemanYeatts-WakeForestHowler1961.png|thumb|Cole's [[TRUE and HONEST]] biological father, Ran Coleman Yeatts Sr., from the 1961 Wake Forest College yearbook.]]

Records found by Cole in Richmond show that Barb married one '''Ran ''Cole''man Yeatts''' on June 17, 1961. Yeatts was born on 27 December 1939 in {{w|Pittsylvania County, Virginia}} but grew up in {{w|South Hill, Virginia|South Hill}}, a town about 35 miles east of Red Oak which also happens to be the hometown of Barb's mother Carrie and her moonshiner dad.<ref name=yeatts>[http://web.archive.org/web/20130211071320/http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timesdispatch/obituary.aspx?n=Ran-Yeatts&pid=88787372 Ran Coleman Yeatts obituary]</ref> Yeatts graduated from {{w|Park_View_High_School_(South_Hill,_Virginia)|Park View High School}} in South Hill in 1957 (not to be mistaken with {{w|Park_View_High_School_(Loudoun_County,_Virginia)|Park View High School}} in {{w|Sterling,_Virginia|Sterling, Virginia}}), and later that year he was enrolled at {{w|Wake Forest College}} in {{w|Winston-Salem, North Carolina}} (now Wake Forest University).<ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28659?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=94&r=0&xywh=2347%2C1534%2C681%2C414</ref><ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28685?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=77&r=0&xywh=1396%2C1140%2C926%2C414</ref><ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28686?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=81&r=0&xywh=460%2C1252%2C1363%2C609</ref><ref>https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/28677?ln=en#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=64&r=0&xywh=2241%2C1842%2C1441%2C875</ref> He graduated from Wake Forest with a Bachelor of Arts degree before April 1961, a few months before he and Barb married.<ref>http://www.archive.org/stream/howler1960wake/howler1960wake_djvu.txt</ref> Coincidentally, Bob Chandler was also living in Winston-Salem around the same time, where he was married to Patricia Faye Harley and working as an engineer.

According to their marriage certificate, Ran was living in Richmond at the time of the marriage, while Barb was still living in Red Oak. Although however, newspaper in April 1961, 2 months before marriage, said that Barb was already living in Richmond. They were married at a Baptist church in {{w|Wylliesburg, Virginia}} near Red Oak (which the divorce documents misspell as "Sylliesburg").

A divorce was granted to Barb on 15 May 1963, at which point she was pregnant with Cole and living in Richmond. The decree states that Ran deserted her on 28 April 1962, although the final digit in "1962" appears to have been altered from a "3". The divorce license lists "0" children, although it is unclear if such a document would have taken unborn Cole into account. Cole was born shortly after the divorce on 24 July 1963.

To further fuel Cole's rage, Yeatts would visit him during his childhood and be introduced as a "friend of the family".<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails" /> After Cole hired a private detective, Barbara hung up on him when he called to ask about his father.<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails" />

Yeatts later remarried and died aged 67 on 6 June 2007. His obituary in the ''Richmond Times-Dispatch'' makes no mention of Cole or Barb, although Ran did have a grandson also named Cole.<ref name=yeatts/>

===Jack Smithey===
Barb insists that Cole's father is '''Jack Dale Smithey''', to whom she claims she was once married. However, Cole was unable to find a marriage license for the couple or any photographs from their alleged wedding.<ref name="coleemail2" /> Indeed, Christorians have been frustrated in their efforts to locate any such evidence; their ability and persistence in documenting everything Chris-adjacent rivals that of any private detective. In 1995, Cole's friend, syndicated cartoonist {{w|Ted Rall}}, made an Internet post questioning the whereabouts of Jack Dale Smithey. According to the post, Smithey lived in Richmond in 1963 (the year Cole was born) and was a Merchant Marine. He later worked as a trucker for Pilot Trucking in North Carolina but had not been heard of since 1964.<ref>http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SURNAMES/1995-04/0798938259</ref> Cole eventually hired a private detective who tracked down Jack Smithey in {{w|Sarasota, Florida}}.<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails">[[Cole Smithey E-mails]]</ref> Nevertheless, newspaper articles from the 1960s indicate that she used the surname Smithey up until she married Jerry Harmon in 1968.

According to Barbara, she and Jack had a "fancy" wedding which was attended by her sisters and mother. Chris told Cole that Barbara considers Jack "a total drunk and loser".<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails">[[Cole Smithey E-mails]]</ref>

In [[July 2021]], (in the middle of his incestuous affair with her), Chris asked Barbara about her relationship with Jack.

{{quote|Short story of it is that Jack and Barbie went out, sexed up, knocked her up.

Then he hit the road; was not in it to be a daddy. The life on the open road called out to him more.|Chris on Jack}}

Chris also mentioned that no photos of Jack were kept at home, though they did have photos of Jerry.<ref>[[WCT DMs#Barbara's ex]]</ref>

===Jerry Harmon===
[[Image:JerryHarmonandBarb.PNG|thumb|Jerry Harmon performing magic tricks with Barb assisting him, December 1968.]]

'''Walter Jerome "Jerry" Harmon, Jr.''' is Barbara's former lover and the alleged sinister stepfather of [[Cole Smithey]], Chris's older half-brother. Jerry was born on July 1st, 1931 in {{w|Springfield, Massachusetts}} but grew up in {{w|Millboro, Virginia}} and later Richmond. Barbara claims to have married Jerry after her relationships with Jack Dale Smithey and Ran Coleman Yeatts. However, in the course of Cole's investigation into his family history, he was unable to find a marriage certificate.<ref name="Cole Smithey E-mails" /> However there is a divorce record that Jerry and Barbara married on 18 June 1968 in Washington D.C. and divorced on 7 January 1980 after one year of living apart, three weeks before Bob had divorced his first wife Patricia. In a Facebook comment from 2020, Cole claims that Jerry adopted him in 1966.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/blendonlodge339/posts/1084760088251976</ref>

{{quote|I grew up in an abusive household with Barbara and my former stepfather Jerry, where physical and mental punishments ran the gambit from bare-assed beatings to cold showers to bizarre scenarios acted out with glee by two deeply neurotic adults...

{{-}}

In his article "[[Saturday Night Special]]", Cole would further elaborate on his first stepfather. According to Cole, Jerry was a professional magician who lived with Barbara in a second-floor apartment adjacent to the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond during the early 1970s. Jerry allegedly kept a gun in his nightstand drawer, which his stepson would play with, and was out cheating on his wife when an intruder came to the apartment, leaving Barb to have to fire the gun to scare them off. The shot ricocheted and nearly killed Cole as a result, hitting the wall a hair's breadth behind his head. Cole would later remove this article from his blog.

In a later article, "[[Operation Snowball|Operation Snowball: My First Career in Show Business]]", Cole describes how Jerry, Barb, and himself took part in an annual traveling magic show which performed at mental hospitals in Virginia every [[Christmas]] season from 1967 to 1976. The trio performed under the name of "King Karnak, Barbie, and Cole". Each show would end with Jerry chopping off Barb's head with a guillotine.<ref>https://www.colesmithey.com/articles/2017/09/operation-snowball-my-first-career-in-show-business.html</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/blendonlodge339/posts/1084760088251976</ref> Interestingly, Jerry married Rose LaNora Lotts in 1981, whom he first met when she was employed as an assistant for "King Karnak", suggesting that she replaced Barb in more ways than one.<ref>http://sjf.stparchive.com/Archive/SJF/SJF01221981P08.php</ref>

[[Bob Chandler|Bob]] and Barbara met at "Maddy's Pub" in Richmond<ref>[[April 2012 Facebook posts#Fear of the future]]</ref> (probably Matt's British Pub in Shockoe Slip, where Bob was a sing-along leader)<ref>[[IT TOOK A TALKING BEAR TO GIVE THE NAME A YOUNG BOY LOVES]]</ref> one night in 1979.

They married in 1980.<ref name="Mumble 3.5" /> Chris claims that "Barbara, In her own words, Married him because 'He owned a house'".<ref>[[Jail Letter - 11 May 2022]]</ref> Later that year Bob was transferred from Richmond to [[Charlottesville]]. They settled in the outlying suburb of [[Ruckersville]].

Barbara worked for several years as a secretary for Virginia Power (VEPCO, today called [[Wikipedia:Dominion Energy|Dominion Energy]]) in the finance department,<ref name=younger></ref> and also worked for {{w|Circuit City}}.<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Date_with_Emily#Eating_spaghetti_and_conversing_(0:36:49%E2%80%930:44:46):~:text=Bob%3A%20And%20uh%2C%20she%20worked%20for%2C%20um%2CCircuit%20City%20for%20a%20while%20before%20she%20retired.</ref>

In September [[1993]], Chris and Bob moved from Ruckersville to Chesterfield County near Richmond so that Chris would be able to attend middle school at a mainstream school.<ref>[[Chris's Wikipedia profile#His Early Years - Birth to 1992]]</ref> Barbara did not accompany them and remained in Ruckersville. Chris claimed that the separation allowed Barbara to continue working at her job with Virginia Power until retirement and that she still visited Bob and Chris every weekend during the time she lived separately from them. After going into retirement when Chris was in the eighth grade (early 1996), Barbara came to live with her husband and son in Chesterfield.<ref>[[Mailbag 32#Chris is no stranger to stupid name changes]]</ref><ref>[[:Image:0078-CWCNote2.jpg]]</ref>

With both Barbara and Bob retired, they spent their twilight years from 2000 onward living in their Ruckersville home with Chris. It is difficult to ascertain what their relationship was like, but sources such as the tour of the house would suggest that Chris's parents neglected the [[14_Branchland_Court|family home]] and spent most of their time apart in separate areas of the house. According to Chris, Barbara had not had sex with Bob for at least two decades before his death. They began sleeping in different rooms sometime around the mid-2000s "because they're not as close as they should, used to or can be".<ref>[[IRC (27 December 2008)]]</ref> It can be presumed that as they got older, they grew more distant, but never to the point of wanting a divorce.

Barbara became a widow on 6 September 2011 when Bob died.<ref name="BobObit">http://web.archive.org/web/20130211071324/http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dailyprogress/obituary.aspx?n=robert-franklin-chandler&pid=153539600</ref>

==Treatment of Chris==

===Abuse and manipulation===
{{quote|And he told me of mom saying she was going to pack up and leave the house, then I ran downstairs, finding her on the couch; she was soo miserable and sad; she talked of Wanting to Die, "you don't even have to change my clothes, you can just bury me in what I have on." I was soo sad and crying and soo sorry for the way I misbehaved; we hugged and made up a bit.|An example of Barb's manipulation.<ref name=magfest>[[Gal Pal E-mails 3#Borb vs MAGfest]]</ref>}}

Barb has had a long history of abusing and/or [[Chris and manipulation|manipulating]] her children. For example, she has often used threats of suicide to guilt Chris into obeying her whims. When Bob and Chris once tried to discuss cleaning the hoard with Barb, she responded by threatening suicide.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200810205450/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/yt-1-12-skylanders-imaginators-leader-christine-w-chandler-random-review-n-stuff.27570/page-9 </ref>
She also threatened suicide to her family during the [[Ivy]] Saga, supposedly as a response to the stress she was going through.<ref name="IvyQ&A"/>

In an episode from 2011, when Chris failed to book himself a hotel room for [[MAGfest]], due to being broke, and planned to sleep in his car,<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 29]]</ref> Barb prevented him from going by pointing out the "crime risk and chilly temperatures", threatening to lock him out of their house, claiming that she would pack up and leave, and later told him she wanted to die. After Chris folded and went to his room to cry about it, she gave him a "half-payment of a copy of DC Universe Online to make up for not allowing [him] to go".<ref name=magfest></ref> Later that year, after Chris became a [[tomgirl]], Barb tried to stop him from wearing dresses and make-up by telling him she feared he would kill her. She then ordered him to sit down, and she cut his hair.<ref name="jackie26"></ref>

It also appears that Chris's diet is not a concern for Barb. The night after the Chandler family moved back to Ruckersville, Bob and Chris refused a spaghetti dinner offered by Barb. As a response, Barb decided to forego cooking for her family and has not made a meal for Chris since then.<ref>See emails sent by [[Jackie E-mails 24|Chris to Jackie on 24 and 26 April 2011]].</ref>

In addition, Barb has used the specter of old age for her own gain, by manipulating Chris into thinking she will have a heart attack. This tactic has been used so often that Chris will panic and call 911 if Barb does not answer the phone when he calls her to check up on her when he is out of the house.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Marvin)#Welfare Check on Barbara]]</ref> When Barb and Chris were both arrested for [[assault and battery]], Chris was extremely worried about her health, saying in an e-mail:

{{quotebox|My mother fought the police in my defense, and she was handcuffed and I was emotionally distraught, I screamed and Screamed and SCREAMED, until an ambulance came for my mother to take her to UVA Hospital; she was okay, but her Blood Pressure was high.

I prayed a LOT to Jesus for my release and safe return home with my mother. And I banged the cell door with both my feet while lying on a folding mattress on the floor (to get those bastards to let me see and talk to my mother

Only after seeing my mother in her suit pass by my second cell, did I start to calm down. I was REALLY WORRIED about my mother and her health. She Needed Me, and I Needed Her.}}

The [[Man in the Pickle Suit]] summed up Chris's relationship with Barb:

{{quoteboxgreen|Well, I don't think they talk very much. However, no, Chris is Barb's hand servant. She screams for him and he comes running. She has him change the newspaper the dogs shit on, she has him run errands to bring her stuff, and she used to have him haul her goodwill crap to the car, and then from the car into the house.

''...''

I think Barb's yelling has gotten much less frequent nowadays. It seems like she's pretty feeble nowadays. Chris is just as scared of Barb as he used to be though. I don't think he realizes how much power he has over Barb nowadays.

They're really physically affectionate in a strange way. Chris is pretty touchy feely with women because of habits he learned by spending time with Barb.<ref name=qualified>https://web.archive.org/web/20210906155444/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/is-chris-really-qualified-to-be-caring-for-barb.16435/page-4</ref>}}

After Bob died, Barb's abuse of Chris escalated. She treated him as a slave and forced him to be on-call at all times. Around [[2013]], she forced Chris to move out of his bedroom, specifically so she could bark orders at him more efficiently, by throwing a tantrum and wrecking his possessions.

{{quoteboxgreen|a few months to a year before the fire, Chris stopped being permitted to sleep separately from Barb, in his bedroom. He had to sleep closer to Barb, because she needed to be able to yell for him to go to [[sheetz]] and buy her crap, and he wasn't able to hear her up in his bedroom. He kind of tried to resist at first, but then she got super pissed and threw a tantrum. She wrecked his room and like flipped everything over because he was trying to sleep on his own.<ref name=qualified/>}}

===Financial exploitation===
{{quote|she is also being Very Annoying. “Christine, Let’s put this random good item on eBay. I REALLY Need the Money for not only my bill payments, but also, we need more food here. I am greedy too.”

[[Image:0028-ChristopherWMom1.jpg|thumb|[[Affair with Mother|Horrifyingly qualifies as foreshadowing.]]]]

According to Cole, Bob and Barbara left Chris alone every day for years with the [[abusive babysitter]] while going out drinking, effectively ignoring the manifestation of the earliest symptoms of autism.<ref>[[:Image:Cole 07-03-06-3.PNG|6 March 2007 email from Cole to Chris, page 3]]</ref> After Chris's initial diagnosis, and after their negligence was inevitably thrown back in their face, Barbara resorted to any means necessary to coax Chris into talking, most notoriously by bribing him with toys.<ref>[[Song of Christian]]</ref>

[[Image:ImWorkingOnIt.png|thumb|left|Chris and Barbara in an intimate moment. A less subtle case of foreshadowing.]]

While both of Chris's parents are largely responsible for his current state, Barb has more often than not been the most active in protecting Chris from recognizing any failure or shortcoming on his part, doing everything from being his sole commission with [[Cutco]] to going as his date to his [[Manchester High School#The Senior Prom|senior prom]].

This pattern of accountability continues even into Chris's adult years. On at least two occasions, most notably after he was banned permanently, Barbara visited [[the GAMe PLACe]] attempting to protect and defend her little snowflake and argue his case with [[Michael Snyder]], but to no avail.

As first evidenced by the "GAMe PLACe/4Chan picture" incident, she is extremely paranoid regarding Chris's online misadventures, likely because she fears that he'll [[Jerkhief|get]] [[Bagget|arrested]] and [[28 October 2011|go to prison]]. Given some of the violent states of some of his videos and Chris's [[Arrest|track record]], she is probably not too far from the truth. She may also suspect that Chris is a [[pedofork|pedophile]], as she [[Mumble 10| thought it was possible that he may have fallen for a ''To Catch a Predator''-esque sting operation]] during the [[Julie]] fiasco. She even seems to suspect that [[Megan Schroeder]], one of the few women Chris has known who ''was not'' out to troll him, is partially responsible for the persecution he has endured over the years. She does her part to keep his activities under control by acting as Chris's personal concierge, as seen when she interrogated [[Ivy]] for about half an hour before letting her speak to Chris.<ref name="IvyQ&A">[[Ivy Q&A]]</ref>

Barbara constantly babies Chris and tells him how handsome he is.<ref>[[Sonichu Girls]] and [[White knight emails]]</ref> She also told Chris that the reason he often "blanks out" or gets confused is not that he is an absent-minded, slothful buffoon, but that he is a "[[Chris and art|creative genius]] and is simply overwhelmed by having so many creative ideas".<ref>[[Kacey Call 12]]</ref>

However, it seems that even Barb has her limits. Like Bob, she was [[Tomboys And Tomgirls of Virginia#Re: Coming out to my parents|ashamed of Chris's effeminate escapades]], claiming that she did not raise a daughter, and that "tomgirl" is not a thing. [[Tomboys And Tomgirls of Virginia#Re: Mothers|She tried and failed]] to get Chris to stop wearing a bra and panties, even offering to pay him to stop.

===Intimate behavior===
{{See also|Affair with Mother}}

{{quote|I, myself, Did have dreams of having sex with my mother.|[[August 2016 Facebook posts#Incestuous Thoughts|One result of Barb's parenting choices, as explained by Chris in August 2016.]]
}}

To cap off their relationship, Chris revealed in private conversations with multiple people that Barb has spooned with him.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxGU4nSlX0M ''PVCC NEW info: on Chris and Barbara spoon eachother!'' (YouTube)]</ref>

From [[Arthur Spatchcock]], on Chris sharing a bed with his mother:

{{quoteboxred|Story time, kids. Now most of us are aware of the fire; how Barb and Chris were displaced for some time while the house was getting renovated. You know how Chris was all whiny about his legos, right? Some getting melted, shit like that...well he kind of left out that his own bed was ruined as well given it had years of grease soaked into it because not bathing is so chic in his eyes. So when they got back home Chris didn't have his own bed anymore so he was sharing one with Barb instead. This came with the horrifying addendum that Barb wanted to spoon with him; I don't know if he was little spoon or big spoon but I know she was unimpressed and one night just unloaded on him angrily enough that Chris decided to get his own bed with his own money. So it goes without saying that from the time Chris and Barb got back home [[DStecks|until he got that grand]] he was sleeping in the same bed as his mother.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190423212237/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/fb-4-11-e-begging-intensifies.19356/page-5</ref>}}

In August 2016, the [[Man in the Pickle Suit]] observed Chris and Barb in public during a court hearing:<ref>[[26 December 2014]]</ref>

{{quoteboxred|Barb and Chris are way too physically intimate. It's one thing to describe their creepy relationship, it's quite another to watch it IRL. They hold hands and Chris is always putting his arm around her and rubbing her shoulders sensually. That's shit I'd do to someone I'd want to bang. Not a family member. It's weird.}}

{{quote|I am not a "Bates". OMG.|Chris, in denial<ref>[[Misc texts]]</ref>}}

Barb's habit of cuddling with Chris had been going on since Bob was alive, and he knew of it, but, due to Barb's manipulation, he was not able to stop her.<ref>http://archive.is/zwWV9</ref> In [[August 2016]], Chris [[Honest content|admitted]] to having [[Chris and sex#Dreams of sex with Barb|incestuous fantasies about Barb]], prompting further analysis of their uncomfortably intimate relationship. Chris sometimes refers to her as [[Darling|"dear" or "darling"]], as he usually does for [[DoopieDoOver|would-be sweethearts]]. In his [[Twitch#CLog 04172018 - Buy My Toys|April 2018 Twitch stream]], when Chris got his mother to reluctantly say "[[Random-access humor|turn me loose, you silly goose]]" after hugging him, he commented that she "used to do that more [[Chris and English|flirtingly]]".

In [[June 2021]], not long before his [[Affair With Mother|incestuous relationship]] with his mom allegedly began, Chris, completely unprompted, claimed in a [[Facebook]] post that he and Barb had never slept in the same bed:<ref>[[June 2021 social media posts#CPU stuff and Barb]]</ref>

{{quotebox|Also, during the time my mom and I slept in my bedroom, we slept in Separate Furniture; she slept on the couch, and I slept in the bed. She and I Never ever had slept in the same bed together during those short months between ‘11 and ‘12.

Never in the same bed. ⚡️💙⚡️}}

Throughout 2021, Chris was feeling several instances of sexual frustration, hitting on [[MKRNightVee|several]] [[Annie Ikenberry|women]] [[Isabella Loretta Janke|of]] [[The Suitress|interest]]. It has gotten to the point where Chris would release all of this sexual tension on Barbara in mid-June, where he would continuously have sexual intercourse with her every three days. The context in which this has all happened is hazy at best, as information on the affair primarily came from an [[Incest Call|infamous call]] where he describes incestuous acts, and a few leaked chats Chris had with people. Throughout his affair with Barbara, Chris would hint at having such an affair online, calling Barbara a "sweetheart over 50". Sometime after [[the Suitress]] had leaked a chunk of the call on a Discord Server, which would soon after be posted onto various websites by her friends, several concerned observers would contact authorities about the affair, leading to his arrest.

==Health problems==
{{protip|Despite being heavily speculated on and assumed by Christorians, it is not actually known if Barb has dementia or some other degenerative brain disease. It is speculated that she might even be deliberately faking senility in videos in order to garner sympathy in begging videos, as she has been seen and heard acting lucidly when she was not aware that she was being recorded for the internet. With that in mind, Chris has indicated that she is struggling mentally.}}

===Mental===
Barb is understood by most to be a highly unstable woman, and worryingly, many of her behaviors can also be observed in Chris. Many believe her to be selfish and extremely narcissistic, on account of her baseless belief that she is [[Daniel Weston|descended from]] [[Anne Boleyn|Tudor high nobility]], and the pathological manner in which she lies and assigns blame to others, even in instances where the fault clearly lies with her. All of these traits are shared by Chris, with Barb's apparent encouragement. Additionally, many aspects of her relationship with Chris are consistent with [https://web.archive.org/web/20201112020245/https://www.daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com/mothers-with-narcissistic-personality-disorder/ narcissistic motherhood], which is a fascinating, but complex, a topic too lengthy to be discussed in detail here. Although Chris seems to be her [https://web.archive.org/web/20201112024302/https://www.daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com/golden-child-and-scapegoat/ "golden child"], she does not shy from mistreating him if he displeases her. This can be seen in an email to [[Jackie]] from May 2011; Chris claimed that his mother flew into a rage over his [[tomgirl]] inclinations, forcing him to submit to a haircut and [[Death threats|threatening to kill him]].<ref name="jackie26"></ref>

Aside from her narcissism, Barb is also infamous to Christorians for her hoarding. During Chris's youth, she would create piles of clothes as tall as her son.<ref name=younger></ref> Chris has labeled her a "pack rat",<ref>[[Father Call]]</ref> and on more than one occasion has indicated his displeasure at her hoarding and the consequent state of [[14 Branchland Court|their house]], although neither he nor Bob are known to have ever seriously challenged it. Barb compulsively hoards her purchases, particularly from Goodwill, which, by [[2009]], had rendered the living room uninhabitable.<ref>[[Tour of Chris's House]]</ref> When Bob was admitted to the hospital for the final time, he was quarantined for bug bites, ostensibly due to the conditions in the Chandler household.<ref>[[Rocky Shoemaker call]]</ref> The situation did not improve after Bob's passing, either. A [[Tour of Chris's House II|second house tour video]] made by Chris in [[2013]] revealed that Barb's hoarding had gotten severe enough to render entire rooms completely inaccessible, with some rooms literally full of stuff to within inches of the ceiling, and others reduced to crevices carved into walls of junk.

Barb's hoarding was predicted by many to lead to disaster, and finally did on [[2014 house fire|10 January 2014]], when Chris accidentally started a house fire in the morning while trying to brew coffee in the bathroom, because the kitchen had been among the rooms blocked off by Barb's junk. Naturally, Barb's hoard provided ample kindling for the fire, and the house was severely damaged before the fire could be contained. In fact, given the state of the house in the second tour video, it's surprising that Chris and Barb were able to escape. Unsurprising, however, is the fact that one of the Chandlers' remaining cats died in the blaze, and one of the firefighters sent to the scene also suffered unspecified injuries.

While the Chandlers [[Rental House|relocated]], pending repairs to their home, Barb's stuff went into storage. When repairs were completed a year later, Barb had all of it moved back to 14 Branchland Court, and is not known to have disposed of any of it, even though, by all accounts, most of what she and Chris were able to salvage is either fire, smoke or water damage, rendering it completely useless. This was confirmed in April 2017, when Chris mentioned the laundry room contained a "mountain pile" of 20-40 bags of dirty, damaged clothing that had not been washed since the fire occurred.<ref>[[April 2017 Facebook posts#Offering The Classic shirt for $12,000 minimum]]</ref>

Barb has also been long speculated to suffer from a form of dementia due to later video appearances (mostly begging videos) showing her as struggling with forming sentences without a degree of prompting by Chris. Some initially speculated that Chris and Barb were taking advantage of her feeble, elderly state for the purpose of emotionally manipulating their audience into giving them more donations out of pity, as there were other videos where Barb appeared to be more cognizant and seemed to be able to handle her own finances to some degree. It was suggested by some with close knowledge of Chris, such as [[The Man in the Pickle Suit|Marvin]], that ''she'' was the one who encouraged him to make the videos with her in them.

However, in light of the [[Chris and sex#Incest|incest]] situation, in which Chris noted that she seemed "partially confused" on at least one of the occasions that he jumped her bones, how much of her situation was an act (presuming if any of it was) and how much is real has been called into question. Barb was evaluated at a hospital after being separated from her son and was able to return to her home after he was incarcerated, though it should still be noted that the bar for being deemed qualified enough to take care of oneself is low. [[Fan visits#Barb Visit|A later visit by Chris's fans]], where Barb did not know that she was being recorded, may have demonstrated that she has a degree of difficulty with cognitive function, or at least that she suffers from hearing loss. This would also somewhat explain the reason behind the [[November 2021]] traffic collision that she was involved in, where she failed to yield the right-of-way and got T-Boned by a tractor-trailer on the driver's side.<ref>[[:File:2002DodgeCaravanCrashRecord2.jpg]]</ref> Since then, she's presumably had to rely on senior caregivers and extended family to live off of since [[Chris|her youngest]] is too preoccupied with [[Jail Saga|other matters]] to take care of her.<ref>[[Jail_Letter_-_27_November_2021#cite_note-2]]</ref> In [[June 2022]], a letter from Chris confirmed that Barb is suffering from a "falling mentality", although it's not clear what that entails.<ref>[[Jail Letter - 27 June 2022]]</ref>

===Weight===
[[Image:Cheers01.jpg|thumb|Artist's depiction.]]

Like Chris, Barbara was [[obesity|obese]] at the time of his discovery by the internet. As late as the 1990s, Barbara was reasonably slim, but she, along with Chris, ballooned out as the 2000s rolled along, to the point of resembling an American serial killer {{w|Rose West}}. Her massive size earned her the affectionate nickname '''Snorlax''' from the [[trolls]]. Barb's size may have led to her [[Chris and stress|sleeping a lot]]<ref>[[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.7]]</ref> and usually skipping [[Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church|church]].<ref>[[Church audio]]</ref>

However, according to eyewitness reports, Barbara lost weight in 2012.<ref>[[This is how the Trial went‎]]</ref> Her weight loss is visible in photos Chris took of her at a 2012 Mythbusters tour stop in Washington, DC.<ref>[[:File:BarbMarch2012.png]]</ref>

This has continued into her old age. When she attended Chris's [[26 December 2014|court hearings]] throughout [[2015]], Christorians in attendance invariably noted that although she has lost weight, she appears to have low muscle mass; probably due to her sedentary lifestyle. In particular, at [[26 December 2014#15 October Hearing|his last hearing]], it was noted that Barb appeared to be growing increasingly frail and possibly senile, as she did not present as very responsive, and appeared much more submissive to Chris than she has otherwise been known to be. Chris also reportedly got short with her due to her poor hearing.

In 2018, Chris decided to cash in on the Snorlax joke, claiming that his mother found it funny. He listed a plush Snorlax for sale on [[eBay]], at $200.

{{quote|Hey, Everyone! Those in the meme-know: the times when my mother used to be large and lazy, everyone called her a Snorlax. Well, Barbara likes the joke too, and can laugh it off as she is doing a lot better these days. So, one time only, she signed a Snorlax Plush, and YOU can own it; a 20% More Awesome Collectible. A personal Certificate or Letter of Authenticity will be included. Thank you.}}

==="Holey buttocks"===
In a [[Twitter|tweet]] to Cole from June 29, 2013, Chris tells him that "[he] ought to be over here putting bandages on [their] Mom's holey buttocks". It was not clear exactly what sort of problem this referred to, though it hardly sounds pleasant. On October 14, 2013, Chris elaborated in a Facebook post, stating, "my mother stresses me with her continuous rants about her damn miniature scabie flies, her suffering, the [[Financhu_Crisis|low finances]] and shit!!!". The consensus was that the so-called "holey buttocks" were, in fact, lesions. It is now believed that Barb currently has a colony of parasitic mites, rather than flies, that have burrowed into her prodigious posterior. Naturally, while Barb is being eaten alive by parasites other than Chris, her child whines about having to take care of her.

===Dental===
In August 2014, Chris begged for money on [[Facebook]], supposedly to pay [[List of toys|dental fees]], as he claimed his mother had cavities in her teeth that needed treatment. In July 2016, Barb herself begged for money.<ref>[[Donations Further Requested, Please]]</ref> Chris and Barb restarted begging for [[Lego|dental]] money in early 2018.

===Hearing loss===
During Chris's 2014 court hearing for [[pepper spray]]ing a [[GameStop]] employee, [[Marvin]] was in attendance and observed Chris imply that Barb had hearing loss.<ref>[[26 December 2014#15 October Hearing]]</ref>

{{quote|After a bit, the PD went up to the judge and they called Chris up. Chris starts getting impatient with Barb. He said something like "are your ears clogged up??" and then "wanna follow me so you can hear what's going on?" Then she got up and trundled up there to accompany Chris.|Marvin}}

On 20 September 2021, Reddit user e1ectricthunder visited [[14 Branchland Court]] and had a brief conversation with Barb, during which Barb had difficulty understanding what was being said.<ref>[[Fan visits#e1ectricthunder]]</ref>

===Memory loss===
In the [[July 2021]] [[Incest Texts]], Chris claimed that Barb has memory problems (and that his incestuous acts were helping to heal her).

{{quote|She has had memory problems at time beforehand, yes, but she is being better stimulated in her mind and soul, and it Really Shows! Her mental processing speed is even going back up.|Chris}}

===Aging===

[[File:Barb reacts to Quinn.jpg|thumb|200px|Barb, aged 76, tissue in hand, comforting Chris after [[Jessica Quinn]] broke up with him.]]

In November 2015, [[Family Needs to appreciate Family]] was uploaded to YouTube. The video is a plea for [[Cole Smithey]], [[David Alan Chandler]], and [[Carol Suzanne Chandler]] to visit Barb before "her time runs out", even though the latter two are not Barb's progeny.

On 13 July 2016, Barb unexpectedly starred in [[Donations Further Requested, Please|one of Chris's e-begging videos]]. In the minute-long video, she speaks slowly and almost inaudibly, hardly moving or blinking for the entirety of the video. While some have voiced concerns that this may be an early sign of dementia, it is just as likely that Barb, being a manipulative narcissist, was putting on an act for money. She has since re-appeared in numerous other e-begging videos from Chris, including multiple in [[August 2018]]; her appearance is frail and quite frazzled, and her sentences are often punctuated with tons of "ums" and "uhs", along with extended pauses.

In August 2016, [[Anna McLerran]] posted a photo on Facebook of herself and Barb together.<ref>[[:File:Barb and anna.jpg|With Anna, presumably in August 2016.]]</ref> In it, Barb appears to have aged significantly since her last appearance in the "Donations Further Requested, Please" video.

In November 2016, Barb escaped injury when she slipped and fell.<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#Barb slips and falls]]</ref>

Chris has been increasingly tasked with helping Barb around the house in her elderly age. He stated in April 2017 that he was taking caregiving classes.<ref>[[Live Game Stream - C-Log 04272017]]</ref> Barb is seen in [[Minor Update, Handouts!]], a begging video, in which Chris demands money because Barb drinks costly "meal replacement shakes", possibly referring to a drink such as Ensure.

===Other===
In [[October 2009]], Barbara spent her birthday at the hospital with what the Chandlers thought was food poisoning.<ref name="9 October 2009">[[9 October 2009]]</ref> Barbara was diagnosed with {{w|colitis}}, a gastrointestinal disease characterized by the inflammation of the colon. It manifests in diarrhea and cramps. Which kind of colitis has yet to be determined. It seems the Chandler family's diet has finally come to affect her, and in order to survive she will have to change her eating habits; considering their stubbornness, this clearly will end badly.

Hearing the plight of the Chandler family, [[Trolls|fans]] of Sonichu created the website "Barbara Chandler Has AIDS" to spread awareness regarding AIDS and to collect donations for research foundations and charities.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201009073942/https://sites.google.com/site/barbarachandlerhasaids/home "Barbara Chandler Has AIDS" Awareness Website]</ref> Chris himself denied the rumor.<ref name="9 October 2009"/>

On 23 August 2013, Chris claimed that Barbara had been afflicted with breast cancer but managed to survive.<ref>[[Facebook#Breast Cancer Awareness]]</ref> He did not give details about when was she diagnosed with the ailment, at what stage it was, or what kind of treatment Barb received.

==Legal problems==
On [[28 October 2011]], Chris and Barb were caught in an incident with [[The GAMe PLACe]] and were actually arrested with several serious charges, with Barb's including felony assault and failure to stop. The two were later released on bail. After a succession of court hearings, Barb, along with her son, was arraigned on her felony charges on 10 July 2012. She was sentenced to community service and was put on a two-year probation, as well as being ordered to pay Michael Snyder's medical bills. When informed of the latter fact during the trial, Chris explained that his mother, a retired, obese, seventy-year-old woman, would take care of the charges for him. No one was particularly surprised at this revelation.

==Financial problems==
[[File:Barb's blankets ebay listings photos 01.jpg |Barb advertising blankets for sale in summer 2018.|thumb|250px]]

Barb lives off social security ({{w|Retirement Insurance Benefits}}) and a small pension from her old job; about $14,000 a year.<ref name=charbincome>[[CWCki Forums posts (Cousin Al)#Chris and Barbara's Income]]</ref>

In 2016, Barb was sued by a Discover bank in Norfolk for not paying [[debt]]s. This came to light on [[March 2016|March 14]], [[2016]], when sharp-eyed [[Kiwi Farms|Kiwis]] noticed that she had a hearing on March 16. Since grave neglect of her debt was likely the cause of her being taken to court, it was widely assumed that she would ignore the summons too. Instead, once the court records were updated, many were surprised to see that not only had Barb attended, but she had represented herself, too. Equally unsurprisingly, this bold move failed to pay off, and Barb was still sentenced to pay $4,706.93.<ref>[[:File:Barb discover bank result.png]]</ref>

Five months later, Barb was sued again, this time by Capital One, for the same reason. The hearing in September resulted in a Default Judgement against Barb, meaning that she did not bother attending. She owes Capital One $15,906.99.<ref>[[:File:Barb vs Capital One Bank result.png]]</ref>

Her out-of-control debt was the catalyst for the [[Financhu Crisis]] of 2016.

From June through July of that year, Barb appeared in three videos:

*[[Donations Required, Serious. Please help]]
*[[Donations Requested, Please]]
*[[Donations Further Requested, Please]]

In the videos, she and Chris beg for donations, claiming to need money for her asthma medication and dental work (although they receive a combined amount of $2,500 per month from the government<ref name=charbincome></ref> and their costly hoards are clearly visible behind them). See the Appearances section for more appearances by Barb.

She has failed to take accountability for ruining the family's finances, trying to pin the blame on Chris,<ref>[[Patreon announcement]]</ref> even though her known debt of over $20,000 is much larger than Chris's.

She and Chris had an inheritance from Bob worth "tens of thousands of dollars" when he passed away, but Barb decided to frivolously spend it on [[Rob Bell]] in an attempt to gain exoneration for her [[assault and battery]] charge.

In the summer of 2018, she joined forces with Chris in selling stuff on [[eBay]], including items from her hoard and her autographs, which some fans bought.

==Appearances==

===In ''Sonichu''===
[[File:Bc.PNG|thumb|200px|Chris gets to live out his fantasy of being (and having) an adequate son.]]

In [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]], Barbara makes a brief appearance in "Classic Sonichu Strips".

In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], the male [[Dating education#In Sonichu|Dating Education]] students are given Barbara dolls to talk to.

In the 2015 revisions to [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris wrote out Bianca's character and replaced her with his mother.

According to the [[CWCipedia]], [[Sandy Rosechu]] and [[Sonichu and Rosechu's children]] go to Anneweston Elementary School.<ref>[[CWCipedia]] on [https://web.archive.org/web/20130831123750/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Wild_Sonichu Wild Sonichu]</ref> It is unknown whether or not Sonichu and Rosechu's children still go to that school after their [[Sonichu and Rosechu's children#Sonichu and Rosechu's children|evolution]].

[[File:Chandlers & Sonichus.jpg|200px|thumb|left]]

In [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], Barb is photoshopped into a "family photo" alongside Chris, Bob and the various Chus.

[[File:Borb, Sonichu12.jpg|200px|thumb|In ''Sonichu'' #12.]]

In [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]], Barb is in a set of pages that is a cross between Chris writing an autobiographical account of himself coming out as a tomgirl to his parents and a tribute to his late father.

Due to Chris's Oedipal complex, Barb is depicted as much more youthful than Bob, even though she was nearly 70 at the time. She is also drawn as being freakishly tall compared to Chris and Bob, despite being shorter than both in real life, though this may just be Chris's inability to keep his characters properly proportioned at work. Barb expresses surprise at her son's announcement of being trans. Chris states that she was "hesitant for a long while", but "got used to my subtle and more changes".

This is a drastic understatement, as the real-life Barb tried to stop his [[tomgirl]] lifestyle in ways including suicide threats, guilt trips (by claiming that she was worried Chris would kill her), paying him to stop cross-dressing, and even ordering him to submit to a haircut. If her attitude towards him cooled, it was only out of resignation rather than acceptance. Evidence of this is when she became angry with him again after finding out that he had successfully changed his name in 2016.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (MasterDisaster)#Name Change Drama]]</ref>

[[File:Chandler family as ponies.png|200px|thumb|left|Barb, pictured at left, as ''Sugar Darling'', in a [[My Little Pony|MLP]]-inspired drawing from [[August 2017]].]]

In August 2017, Chris unveiled a drawing of the Chandler family depicted as [[My Little Pony]] characters, saying they will make further appearances in [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]].

At one point she complains about the time Michael Snyder kicked her and Chris out of the GAMe PLACe following Chris's final ban from the store.
* [[Prank calls]]: Barbara yells in the background and foreground of several prank calls.

===Videos===
Barbara has appeared in several videos: off-camera in the [[Christian Weston Chandler Interview]], and on-camera (for the first time) in [[You're Always Pretty]]. [[ChandlerFamilyChristmas2004|Two decade-old videos]] were leaked in December 2014 showing the Chandlers celebrating Christmas. Another video of her was recorded by a [[troll]] as she and Chris left court after his hearing in February 2015.

She has most frequently appeared during the [[Financhu Crisis]].

[[Donations Required, Serious. Please help|Two more]] [[Donations Requested, Please|videos]] were released in June 2016 showing Chris begging for donations to buy asthma pills for Barbara. Barbara is shown practically dead in both of these videos so [[Chris and Death|god only knows what will happen in the near future.]]

In a [[Donations Further Requested, Please|video]] released on 13 July 2016, Barbara joins her son in shamelessly e-begging. Her voice tired and hoarse, mouth agape, she stares directly into the camera like a deer caught in the headlights.

She resumed begging in a [[EMERGENCY HOME UPDATE|video]] from April 2017, in which she wears a [[$400 gold necklace]] while asking Chris's audience to give him $1,000 in exchange for his old [[Stamps|stamp album]].

She next appeared in [[Live Game Stream - C-Log 04142017]], when she walked in while Chris was recording.

After more uploads from Chris, Barb starred in another begging video uploaded on 24 May 2017, titled [[We Said Donations No Less than $1 00, US, Please]]. Chris removed the video the next day after people threatened to report him for elder abuse.

After the last failed attempt of getting donations, Barb and Chris engaged in yet another begging video on 16 June 2017, titled [[We need immediate funds, please]]. Ironically, she wore both the [[$400 gold necklace]] and a pearl necklace.

Almost a month had passed, without any appearances from Barb. With Chris getting decent amounts of funds from his [[Patreon]] account, there no longer seemed to be a desire to beg. On 14 July 2017, she makes a small voice-only cameo in a [[Soda Awawawawa Puccho Candy Response]], screaming at him for not closing the front door. She also comments in [[Solar Eclipse Vlogs]], asking Chris if he's ready to go back inside after the eclipse ends.

Barb's first appearance on video in 2018 was in [[Selling Vintage Comic Books (Cole Smithey’s Comic Books)]]. She appeared a couple of weeks later in [[Our signatures]] to demonstrate that her signature, a key selling point in the comic sales, was real. On 9 April, Barb appeared for the seventh time during the Financhu Crisis to beg in [[Buy Our Things off of my eBay to help us, Please.]]

On 16 April, a [[April 2018 Paid Video Requests|bizarre video of a few seconds of Barb standing in a doorway]] was posted to the [[CWCki Club]]. On the 17th, she appeared as a guest on Chris's [[Twitch]] stream.

On 8 May, Barb appeared in [[WE NEED MONEY FOR MORTGAGE NOW, PLEASE!]]. Two days later, Barb appeared in [[May 2018 Paid Video Requests|paid videos giving shout-outs to school shooters Nicholas Cruz and Adam Lanza]].

She watched Chris spray-paint his shoes (and his bedroom carpet) in [[Shoe Colouring]], sitting in the same room with poor ventilation.

In the summer of 2018, she appears in multiple videos to promote her partnership with Chris's eBay business: [[My Mother WORKED Hard, Spent Hard; Needs Money NOW.]], [[Barbara Chandler will be making out autographed photos and posters.]] and [[Barbara’s Blankets]]. She then begged for her car payment money in [[Mother needs a car payment]].

[[Barb confirms she isn't dead]] was her next appearance, a rare non-begging video.

Chris (possessed by [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) got Barb to appear on camera in [[Watching TF2 Analysis Anarchy Red Vs Blue Part 3]] (12 June 2020).

Transformers

{{taxpayermoney}}
[[Image:SarahDeath.jpg|thumb|right|190px|[[Optimus Prime]], brutally murdering [[Sarah Jackson]].]]

'''Transformers''' are a toyline, first introduced in 1984 by [[My Little Pony|Hasbro]]. They are more than meets the eye because the Transformers are robots in disguise as vehicles or animals (the latter of which from the [[Wikipedia:Transformers: Beast Wars|Beast Wars]] toyline). While different generations of the toyline vary, they all revolve around the battle between the protagonists, [[Optimus Prime|the Autobots]], and their war with the evil forces of the Decepticons. [[Chris]] has been fascinated with the Transformers since he was young, and even well into adulthood invests his Transformers toys with great significance. Transformers have become a major presence in his [[Sonichu (comic)|comics]].

Chris began selling off his Transformers figures in [[April 2018]],<ref>[[2018 Sales Listings#April]]</ref> due to extortion by the [[Idea Guys]]<ref>[[The Chris-Chan Extortionists]]</ref> putting into jeopardy whether he would be able to attend the 2018 [[BronyCon]].<ref>[[April 2018 social media posts]]</ref>

==Transformers in Chris's life==
While Chris isn't a dedicated collector, the jumbled mass of crap that fills his room includes several Transformers toys. Of particular note is his [[Optimus Prime]] toy, which he has often used as a sort of totem to reinforce his heterosexuality. When [[Clyde Cash]] forced him to "admit" that he was gay, Chris held his Prime toy tightly throughout [[Chris Comes Out of the Closet|the video in question]], which he later explained was a way of asserting his straightness in spite of his words.

In [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE]], Chris compares his Transformers and ''[[My Little Pony]]'' figurines as ways of studying the traits of the opposite gender and using them as roleplay models. It's possible that Chris really does practice what he preaches, and might pick Transformers and ''My Little Pony'' toys as comforting remnants of his (actual) childhood from the '80s and '90s.

Some of Chris's favorite popular music comes from [[Wikipedia:The Transformers The Movie: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack|the soundtrack]] to the animated movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Transformers: The Movie|The Transformers: The Movie]]''. He once recorded a [[Cwc dare|video]] of himself singing [[Wikipedia:Stan Bush|Stan Bush]]'s "Dare", and downloaded a number of other songs from the soundtrack – like [[Parody|"Dare to Be Stupid" by "Weird Al" Yankovic]] – from [[List of Chris's Rhapsody.com downloads|Rhapsody.com]]. "[[Wikipedia:The Touch (Stan Bush song)|The Touch]]" was also Chris's choice of song for [[SingStar Challenge Round 4|round 4]] of the [[SingStar Challenge]] against [[Liquid Chris]]. He lost. Chris also plagiarized one of Megatron's lines from the movie (''"I would have waited an eternity for this – it's over, Prime!"'') during the battle with Reldnahc in issue ten. In fact, the scenes in both cases are extremely similar – the hero is downed and evidently defeated, before performing one last defiant attack against the villain as they stand over them. Chris fills the role of Optimus Prime and Reldnach is Megatron – further evidence of Chris's self-identification with Optimus.

==Transformers in ''Sonichu''==
While they were not originally part of the ''Sonichu oeuvre'', Transformers slowly crept into the spotlight. [[Bagget]]'s "Change-Bot" [[Crackder]] was the first to join the series, in [[Sub-Episode 7]] of [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu #4'']]. Later on [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu #9'']] would introduce a flood of new Transformers, including [[Punchy]]'s motorcycle [[Prower]], the comic version of Chris's car [[Son-Chu]], the [[Jerkop Punislav]], and [[Armoraxe]].

In the comics, the Transformers are divided into the [[Samurai Pizza Bots]], the unfortunately named defenders of [[CWCville]], and the [[Decepti-Clones]], a much larger army under the control of the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]]. The Decepticons working for PVCC come in three variants and are all mass produced. They attack the city with [[Mary Lee Walsh]]'s [[Jerkop]] army in ''Sonichu #9'' and are completely wiped out during the course of the battle.<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_9/Page_92</ref> The Autobots are far less numerous, only numbering five members, but are evidently much more powerful than their counterparts, as while the entire Decepti-Clone army is destroyed during the Battle of CWCville, the Autobots [[Chris and writing|do not lose a single member]].

==Transformers elsewhere==
For reasons that remain difficult to determine, Chris chose to depict the 18-wheeler that killed [[Sarah Jackson]] with Optimus Prime's distinctive red and silver paint job. Either Chris intentionally drew a Transformer crushing his would-be sweetheart, or (more likely) the image just bubbled up out of his infamously limited imagination.

[[Sonichu Special 4]] features Chris shooting his rival [[CChanSonichuCWC]] with what looks very much like an early Megatron toy. The [[Megatron pistol|real-life version]] also appears in some of Chris's videos. In [[CWC is Angry]] he shot at a picture of [[Adam Stackhouse]] with the mock pistol, while in the [[War Paint Video]] he used it to threaten all of his general enemies.

On [[September 2016 Facebook posts|numerous]] occasions within the [[2016]] election period, Chris has used the Transformers Titans Return Voyager Class Sentinel Prime toy as a physical representation of [[Pmurt|Donald J. Trump]] to [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid|beat on and smash]]. He states he uses the toy as an effigy due to its primary color being orange, akin to Trump's skin tone.<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Feelings_of_the_election_results</ref> Curiously, the character was [https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/co/image/1472/65/1472658214991.jpg used in recent comics] as an analog to Trump – his primary motivation as a villain was to purge the populace of Cybertron of new arrivals and restore it to its former glory. The topic has been joked about heavily among fans, but it's unclear if Chris is aware of this. Given the release of this toy during the [[Financhu Crisis]], it shows that Chris is still incapable of being [[Chris and money|fiscally responsible]].

On 30 [[July 2019]], [[MKR]] posted images of Transformers R34 in a Discord server, to which Chris responded, "I was curious about the twitchy servos in that for a while, but it ended up being hit-or-miss with me."<ref>[[Midnight's Nightlings and Starettes#Hit-or-Miss R34]]</ref>

Optimus Prime

2023-03-07T04:20:15Z

Crinja404:

{{taxpayermoney}}

{{quote|I also see myself as a leader-figure, like Optimus Prime.|Chris<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu_profile#More_Information_About_Myself]]</ref>}}

[[Image:SarahDeath.jpg|thumb|300px|right|YOU GOT THE TOUCH! YOU GOT THE POWERRRRR!]]
In [[Transformers]], '''Optimus Prime''' is the main leader of the Autobots, the protagonists of the franchise. In Sonichu, he was depicted as the tractor-trailer who savagely murdered [[Sarah Jackson]] in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]]. This has led to speculation that Jackson was, in fact, a Decepticon agent, although Prime's actions, regardless of their intent, still make him one of the deadliest and most popular Sonichu villains of all-time.

In spite of this act, Chris remains a fan of Optimus Prime and considers himself just as [[Quizzes#Christian Weston Chandler Quiz|strong and noble]]. Chris has referenced<ref>[[IRC (28 December 2008)]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 28 December 2008]]</ref> a story of a boy who locked himself in his room upon seeing Prime's death in the 1986 film "Transformers: The Movie".<ref>[http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/1600-nostalgia-critic-top-11-saddest-moments The Nostalgia Critic - Top 11 Saddest Moments]</ref>
Further, Chris considers Optimus Prime an important symbol of masculinity. When forced to [[Captain's Log, Stardate February 5th, 2009|say that he was gay]], Chris held his Optimus Prime toy throughout the video, an act he [[Captain's Log, Stardate February 6th, 2009|later explained]] was a nonverbal clue that his gay confession was insincere.

{{quote|I was holding on to my manhood, my straightness by having Optimus Prime in my lap...|Chris, discussing how he was gripping tightly to manhood while he announced his homosexuality}}

In his [[Rollin' and Trollin']] video, it was revealed that Chris carries [[Optimus Prime]] around in his backpack, probably for security. According to field trolls, after making fun of Optimus Chris whispered "I'm sorry Optimus" while placing him back in his bag. Sadly, this incident was not caught on camera, but it does prove Optimus has a stronger hold on Chris than previously thought. The only reason he likely doesn't show up as often in the comic as Chris's other obsessions is likely because, as a mechanical object, he's a bit harder to draw than the [[Chris and art|amorphous blobs]] that make up the rest of the cast.

Crinja404: Thought it was funny and informative to explain the Transformers.

{{taxpayermoney}}
[[Image:SarahDeath.jpg|thumb|right|190px|[[Optimus Prime]], brutally murdering [[Sarah Jackson]].]]

'''Transformers''' are a toyline, first introduced in 1984 by [[My Little Pony|Hasbro]]. They are more than meets the eye because the Transformers are robots in disguise as vehicles or animals (the latter of which from the [[Wikipedia:Transformers: Beast Wars|Beast Wars]]toyline). While different generations of the toyline vary, they all revolve around the battle between the protagonists, [[Optimus Prime|the Autobots]], and their war with the evil forces of the Decepticons. [[Chris]] has been fascinated with the Transformers since he was young, and even well into adulthood invests his Transformers toys with great significance. Transformers have become a major presence in his [[Sonichu (comic)|comics]].

Chris began selling off his Transformers figures in [[April 2018]],<ref>[[2018 Sales Listings#April]]</ref> due to extortion by the [[Idea Guys]]<ref>[[The Chris-Chan Extortionists]]</ref> putting into jeopardy whether he would be able to attend the 2018 [[BronyCon]].<ref>[[April 2018 social media posts]]</ref>

==Transformers in Chris's life==
While Chris isn't a dedicated collector, the jumbled mass of crap that fills his room includes several Transformers toys. Of particular note is his [[Optimus Prime]] toy, which he has often used as a sort of totem to reinforce his heterosexuality. When [[Clyde Cash]] forced him to "admit" that he was gay, Chris held his Prime toy tightly throughout [[Chris Comes Out of the Closet|the video in question]], which he later explained was a way of asserting his straightness in spite of his words.

In [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE]], Chris compares his Transformers and ''[[My Little Pony]]'' figurines as ways of studying the traits of the opposite gender and using them as roleplay models. It's possible that Chris really does practice what he preaches, and might pick Transformers and ''My Little Pony'' toys as comforting remnants of his (actual) childhood from the '80s and '90s.

Some of Chris's favorite popular music comes from [[Wikipedia:The Transformers The Movie: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack|the soundtrack]] to the animated movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Transformers: The Movie|The Transformers: The Movie]]''. He once recorded a [[Cwc dare|video]] of himself singing [[Wikipedia:Stan Bush|Stan Bush]]'s "Dare", and downloaded a number of other songs from the soundtrack – like [[Parody|"Dare to Be Stupid" by "Weird Al" Yankovic]] – from [[List of Chris's Rhapsody.com downloads|Rhapsody.com]]. "[[Wikipedia:The Touch (Stan Bush song)|The Touch]]" was also Chris's choice of song for [[SingStar Challenge Round 4|round 4]] of the [[SingStar Challenge]] against [[Liquid Chris]]. He lost. Chris also plagiarized one of Megatron's lines from the movie (''"I would have waited an eternity for this – it's over, Prime!"'') during the battle with Reldnahc in issue ten. In fact, the scenes in both cases are extremely similar – the hero is downed and evidently defeated, before performing one last defiant attack against the villain as they stand over them. Chris fills the role of Optimus Prime and Reldnach is Megatron – further evidence of Chris's self-identification with Optimus.

==Transformers in ''Sonichu''==
While they were not originally part of the ''Sonichu oeuvre'', Transformers slowly crept into the spotlight. [[Bagget]]'s "Change-Bot" [[Crackder]] was the first to join the series, in [[Sub-Episode 7]] of [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu #4'']]. Later on [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu #9'']] would introduce a flood of new Transformers, including [[Punchy]]'s motorcycle [[Prower]], the comic version of Chris's car [[Son-Chu]], the [[Jerkop Punislav]], and [[Armoraxe]].

In the comics, the Transformers are divided into the [[Samurai Pizza Bots]], the unfortunately named defenders of [[CWCville]], and the [[Decepti-Clones]], a much larger army under the control of the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]]. The Decepticons working for PVCC come in three variants and are all mass produced. They attack the city with [[Mary Lee Walsh]]'s [[Jerkop]] army in ''Sonichu #9'' and are completely wiped out during the course of the battle.<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_9/Page_92</ref> The Autobots are far less numerous, only numbering five members, but are evidently much more powerful than their counterparts, as while the entire Decepti-Clone army is destroyed during the Battle of CWCville, the Autobots [[Chris and writing|do not lose a single member]].

==Transformers elsewhere==
For reasons that remain difficult to determine, Chris chose to depict the 18-wheeler that killed [[Sarah Jackson]] with Optimus Prime's distinctive red and silver paint job. Either Chris intentionally drew a Transformer crushing his would-be sweetheart, or (more likely) the image just bubbled up out of his infamously limited imagination.

[[Sonichu Special 4]] features Chris shooting his rival [[CChanSonichuCWC]] with what looks very much like an early Megatron toy. The [[Megatron pistol|real-life version]] also appears in some of Chris's videos. In [[CWC is Angry]] he shot at a picture of [[Adam Stackhouse]] with the mock pistol, while in the [[War Paint Video]] he used it to threaten all of his general enemies.

On [[September 2016 Facebook posts|numerous]] occasions within the [[2016]] election period, Chris has used the Transformers Titans Return Voyager Class Sentinel Prime toy as a physical representation of [[Pmurt|Donald J. Trump]] to [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid|beat on and smash]]. He states he uses the toy as an effigy due to its primary color being orange, akin to Trump's skin tone.<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Feelings_of_the_election_results</ref> Curiously, the character was [https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/co/image/1472/65/1472658214991.jpg used in recent comics] as an analog to Trump – his primary motivation as a villain was to purge the populace of Cybertron of new arrivals and restore it to its former glory. The topic has been joked about heavily among fans, but it's unclear if Chris is aware of this. Given the release of this toy during the [[Financhu Crisis]], it shows that Chris is still incapable of being [[Chris and money|fiscally responsible]].

On 30 [[July 2019]], [[MKR]] posted images of Transformers R34 in a Discord server, to which Chris responded, "I was curious about the twitchy servos in that for a while, but it ended up being hit-or-miss with me."<ref>[[Midnight's Nightlings and Starettes#Hit-or-Miss R34]]</ref>

Dimensional Merge Announcements

2023-02-18T02:43:53Z

Crinja404:

'''Dimensional Merge Announcements''' is a video uploaded on 26 [[October 2018]] where Chris announces the [[Dimensional Merge]]. Like [[wikipedia:Shoko Asahara|Shoko Asahara]], the leader of doomsday cult [[wikipedia:Aum Shinrikyo|Aum Shinrikyo]], Chris explains what will happen during the Merge and what to do to survive. After going on multiple tangents, including mentioning Jesus' parents being two women and being able to transform into his Sonichu and CPU Goddess forms at will once the Merge is complete, he makes a reference to [[Megan]], claiming she is a CPU goddess and telling the users not to communicate with her while begging her to come to him.

===Transcript===
Hello everybody this is Christine Chandler coming to you life from home once again and we're going to talk about the recent and more obvious topic, of "The Dimensional merge". Yes! This dimension! Right here! 1218. Is going to be merged with our sister dimension "C197" where all of our s- where most of our superheroes, super-villains, OCs, and what have you, and other characters, consisted, have been existing and co-existing. Yep!

Everybody who survives this will get to meet their - will get to meet their favorite superheroes among other thi- among other persons and everything. Huh. I guess there are those that are going to survive and those that are not going to survive. But hmmmn, that's but fortunately(?) should be most of the Earth's population. And those that I do care about are going to survive. Hmmmn. Among which ah that won't survive are going to be [[Pmurt|some of the politicians]]. But aside from that the decision is definitely supported by me but ah also gonna be made in part by your goddess of this Earth.

Yep, the parent of Jesus [[Tomgirl|is a woman.]] Okay? Yep, just get that mind blower out of the way. Anyway, they're being supportive of all this and everything I'm supporting all of them, and the dimensions are gonna merge, and yada yada yada... Huh.. Pardon me. My heads, got the thing psychic like and I get the headaches now and then (Grunting). Huh, 'cause I'm so integrated in all this. Huh.. 'Cause who knew I would have-- I actually.. am destined and with the anchuent prophecy of C197 and everything that I am literally, half sonichu and I soon will be able to transform into my sonichu form... be able to run at mach speeds! Thunder attacks! Psychic attacks! Everything!

And thanks to the all-inclusive events including me absorbing the spiral seal found in my own Sega Dreamcast right over there on top of the Commodore 64 monitor... There is my old C64 right there. The old video connection is still an issue but I do believe I am going to get some very good heellpp on that very soon. Anyway side from-- anyway side from that (Snorting) Destiny and powers inside of me aanndd I have been bestowed the memories and soul of the original CPU of the commodore consoles and the -unintelligible to me(mighty nation, the comma????)-, definitely verified on the internet. Her name is Scarlet.

So yeah. Think I took that story and did a little short but to summarize it-- but yeah she was- she used to be - she was friends with Rei Ryghts, the CPU of Atari, and the Atari Consoles. But yeah, essentially, Atari got buried, and bowled over and bowled over after it fell and at the same comma fell along with it but landed in West Virginia in C197. And then a few yea- and then a few years later, ah, the original Scarlet passed on her soul and memories had got into my Commodore console and I adsorbed them! And I was bestowed upon them.

So, I am Mrs. Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu! CPU Blue Heart of Cwcville, and comma, and the consoles of Commodore. Still getting used to that and I'm still adjusting and learning the ropes of all my responsibilities, powers, and everything. Still in development. -Deep breathe- But anyway, in the comings days up 'till the Dimensional merge you're definitely going to see some visual difference in your locals--in your local surroundings. So just be mindful and watchful of your surroundings.
Aaanndd gunfire. That's a no-no. Keep your weapons at bay! Don't fire at anybody, okay? S'not cool. Oooaaayyyeehhh. What's next what's next? You can tell obviously this is really coming from my heart. I have no script; this is me explaining it as best as I can just to this Earth and this dimension, 1218.

Anyway, don't panic, remain calm, and we'll get through this. We will survive. And everybody will get to meet their OCs and superheroes. Definitely tho-- We definitely stay away from the supervillians though, okay? Let us superheroes and heroes deal with them. Y'know I don't know if you like maybe maybe they can come to a conventional or something for real I don't know, but that's a whole kettle of fish that I am not... It's all a matter of. Huh.
Anyway, uuuhhh if I put a whole buncha- I've had put a whole buncha tweets on my twitter account @CWCsonichu the past number of months that have been leading up to this. True stories. True facts. Okay? So you might want to have gone over that. Huuuuh. Yeah essentially for references that's gonna be a long ways -Unintelligable Autistic babbling, arm flailing-. And also I definitely need to make a personal address to her of this world. Megan Schroeder.

And if anybody tries- and if anybody contacts her, don't! Do not contact Megan Schroeder, of this world, at all, okay? I'm essentially speaking to her directly through this video so then she (can) get (a) better understanding from the recent events and we've been letting her know about recently. So, please, nobody, nobody contact her! Okay? Unless you're really close friends. Aannd Megan, if you do get, get bullied, or if your inbox becomes full, just, ignore them! Delete those emails from those that you do not know personally. Okay?
Anyway, so with that out of the way, aaahh. Megan Schroeder it's still has been so many years since we've talked with each other. I want you to know first off that I definitely have no ill feelings against you and I st- strongly support your relationship with your sweetheart. And obviously I'm not going to come after you whatsoever. I have been married, since last March, to my Magi-chan Sonichu and Cryzel Rosechu, and more recently, became married to Sylvana Rosechu and, to Mew-Two.

But anyway, Megan, your counterpart in C197, ever since her pow- er, sailor senshi powers, Sailor Megtune, have been stripped after the unfortunate break-up events of 06 or 07, or it may have been 08, that actually happened between you and I, not going to go into further detail. She ended up moving to Last Station where she actually did very well in politics and built herself up. She end up with properly bestowed the memories and powers of the original CPU Red Heart. It's still unbeknownst what console she represents but it is a.. Trying to think of a word here... well anyway, it's a- it's a Nintendo console, released only in Germany. And I tried looking it up on the internet. Though there is a reference or two, but the name is always censored. Name of that one console. Don't know why, but it is.

But anyway your counterpart there, the leader of the nation of -leader of the island nation of Crozna, with a miles long bridge extending from East part - East part of the United States of America, East part of Virginia, Very looonngg bridge, to that arti- to that man-made island. Crozna. And s-. Because after I had talked with your counterpart we still had in possession the original transformation pen that she had. I wanted to make sure it had gotten in the right hands so you got it Megan. It was delivered to me - er, delivered to you, you have it. And you also got a share, at least half of it, of Red Heart's powers and memories.

So, Megan Schroeder, of this world, you are CPU Red Heart. At least of this world. There's two CPU Red Hearts. If anybody wants to make a Dr. Who joke, skip it, 'cause I'm talking serious. So yes Megan Schroeder, you are indeed a goddess. Just like I became a goddess. Because we were desto- bestowed memories and everything. So sooner you wake up to that realization the better we'll be. And also keep an open heart and an open mind for telepathic communications from your counterpart in C197.

I don't know what might happen, I mean I don't know, uuuhhmmm. You two might coexist after the dimensional merge, but then again, you two might.. merge together to make one Red Heart. It's still to be determined I don't know that yet, but, just keep calm, know you're a goddess, listen to your counterpart, who is Red Heart of Crazna(Crozna, Chris?) over there. Aaanndd any questions I would definitely recommend bringing to your counterpart as well as bringing to the other CPUs, Neptune, Blanc, Noir, Vert, Uzume, Sabrina. Sabrina of Cwcville, still CPU, battery charged Blue Heart.

Anyway, bring it to the CPUs you'll get your questions answered through that way. Also, I welcome you to come talk to me directly. We'll set up the communications. That way..-but that's to be determined. And so forth. But anyway. So with that, I will be ending this video shortly, but know that everyone, be aware of your surroundings. The changes are going to happen as the two dimensions merge. And you might see some villains attacking. We the superheroes, I'll be fighting alongside them, we'll fight them off and depend, both of our worlds. Do the best we can.

I'm doing the best I can, learning the ropes and everything. Remain calm. Don't fire any weaponry. If you end up seeing your favorite superheroes or your OCs, be glad. I mean like those famed amongst the brony community, you see your OC characters and you definitely hear from them telepathically, open mind, open heart, listen up. And that'll help you out in the longer run. Anyways, sooo I think that pretty much covers that for now. Thank you all for listening, for I am Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu, the CPU Blue Heart of the nations of CWCville and Comma, and the consoles of Commodore. Thank you. Be safe and have a great day.

'''Joshua Conner Moon''', better known by his online alias '''"Null"''', is the current owner of [[Kiwi Farms]] (formerly the [[CWCki Forums]]). He was a former advisor for [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]. Though he initially led the forum as a way of monitoring and documenting Chris's shenanigans, over time he shifted focus away from Chris after his father died. From there, he occasionally contacted Chris when it was determined that Chris needed help, like after the [[2014 house fire]] or during the saga of the [[self-inflicted taint wound]].

During the spring of 2018, Null began acting as one of Chris's volunteer advisors, alongside fellow [[Guard Dogs]] The Captain and Marvin, helping him by filtering his email messages to weed out [[ween]] messages from legitimate [[business]] dealings,<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Legit Emails]]</ref> as well as offering advice, such as warning Chris not to invade people's personal space at other conventions after Chris' behavior had gotten him [[banned|kicked out]] of [[TooManyGames]]. He felt motivated to assist Chris after learning that the [[Idea Guys]] had scammed Chris out of enough money to put him at risk of losing his home.<ref name="currenttrolls">[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Decline of Trolling]]</ref>

Null's participation dwindled for a while, but Chris reconciled with him for a while early in [[2021]]. Null positioned himself to be something of a caretaker for Chris, being one of the few people that he would listen to, organizing travel plans for him to safely get to conventions while also getting him in the habit of completing commission work to fund those travel plans. He stated that when [[Barbara]] dies, he had plans to try to get Chris into assisted living.

Of course, things did not work out that way. In the wake of the [[July 2021]] [[Affair with Mother|incest]] allegations against Chris, Null had a conversation with Chris in which he found that Chris lied about his financial situation and that Chris had [[Chris and money#Theft|taken money]] from Barbara's bank account in a potential violation of his EPO. Following the conversation, Null cut ties with Chris, while Chris felt betrayed that the information about his incestuous acts came to light. Chris now sees Null as a Judas Iscariot-like figure once his [[Messiah complex]] reached new heights, since he now believes himself to be Jesus reincarnated.

Previously existing as a Chris-focused message board in various iterations, in February 2015 the CWCki Forums was consolidated into the Kiwi Farms, shifting focus away from just Chris as the board expanded its horizons to other potential lolcows. Though he wasn't its founder, Null is the current owner of the site, though has often referred to Chris as a "dead cow" and largely shifts his focus to moderating the other boards.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Dead Cow]]</ref> As of 2022, his ill-advised antagonism of certain cows (such as non-binary video game developer Near/Byuu and transgender Twitch streamer Keffals) and mismanagement of the site has lead to frequent downtime and deplatforming; this has left Kiwi Farms as a less reliable resource for Chris information and discussion.

In November 2014, Null wrote a post on how he had closed down a private discussion subforum used by trolls. He did so in an attempt to discourage trolls after [[Thetan]] and [[Cousin Al]]'s antics (respectively, impersonating multiple people in Chris's life, and rooting through Chris's garbage), saying that the impact on Chris's personal life was too great to permit the private subforum to remain.<ref>[[CWCki Forums posts (Null)#Closure of CWCki Forums Private Board]]</ref>

==1776 Hosting==
In 2018, Null launched a hosting service that hosted his Kiwi Farms forum. From 2018-2022, [[Marvin]], the [[CWCki]]'s owner, had the CWCki on 1776's service. As the result of a wave of DDoS attacks against Kiwi Farms in late summer 2022 which rendered 1776 Hosting unresponsive, Marvin opted to migrate the CWCki to another host in October 2022.

[[File:BBOSLetter.jpg|thumb|200px|The smaller items included, including a letter.]]
===Fundraiser===

In [[2014]], after Chris [[14_Branchland_Court#Destruction_of_the_Chandler_Household|accidentally burned down his house]], Null sympathized, as he himself had suffered a house fire in his youth. He organized [[Chris_and_money#After_the_house_fire|a fundraiser]] on the forum that resulted in several hundred dollars worth of supplies being sent as a care package for Chris to get on his feet again, with the remainder of the amount sent as a money order. Mistakenly thinking that the money order was signed incorrectly (and thus rendered useless), Chris insulted Null by calling him a "{{w|Dodo}} brain" on Facebook.<ref>[[January 2014 Facebook Posts#Hey, Dodo Brain!]]</ref> In [[2017]], Chris piled on by tweeting "Null is a dull lull; [[random-access humor|LOL]].<ref>[[August 2016 Facebook posts]]</ref>"

===Involvement with Guard Dogs===
{{main|Guard Dogs}}

Null pushed to have the [[Idea Guys]] investigated for their alleged extortion and blackmailing of Chris. For a time, Null assisted Chris by screening his messages to separate [[ween]] and [[troll]] e-mails from legitimate [[business]] dealings. The other Guard Dogs had vouched for Null to Chris, who rationalized the inclusion of Null – whom he would have considered a troll at any other point in time due to his ownership of [[Kiwi Farms]] – by playing make-believe that Stan Smith, a character from ''[[Family_Guy#American_Dad.21|American Dad!]]'', had vouched for Null as well:

{{quote|when Chris first started messaging me he said that Stan Smith from ''American Dad'' said I was somehow affiliated with the FBI/CIA, which I think is entirely his head canon. If you wonder why I'm a big softy with Chris, there's a good example.|Null<ref name=stan>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Stan Smith]]</ref>}}

[[File:CWC drawing for Joshua Moon.jpg|thumb|250px|Drawing Chris sent to Null. Note how uncomfortable Null's Ponysona looks after Chris hits on him.]]

Chris's communication with Null got off to a rocky start. Null tried to avoid the subject of [[Chris_and_reality|Chris's delusions]] as he did not want to further damage Chris's mental state, but Chris insisted on bringing up the matter. Null was subsequently horrified by what he had learned about Chris's deteriorating psyche:

{{quote|He is utterly convinced [fictional characters are real]. I can't approach the topic with him at all. The first thing he asked me when we started talking was if I believed in the [[dimensions|alternate dimensions]] and I said no. He got very mad, started describing his adventures, and I had to walk it back by saying "I can only speak on experience".|Null<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Chris's Beliefs]]</ref>}}

Shortly after beginning talks with Null, Chris drew an art piece of him as a ''[[My Little Pony]]'' character to show appreciation for his Guard Dog-related efforts in May 2018, and followed Kiwi Farms's [[Twitter]] account a few days later. The drawing features Chris calling Null "handsome and cute". In spite of the best efforts of the Guard Dogs, however, Chris continued to hold many of the Idea Guy-based delusions to his heart as he eagerly anticipated the [[Dimensional Merge]] and his role in it.

===Disillusionment with Chris===

Despite efforts from Null and the other Guard Dogs, Chris still managed to bumble his way into the embrace of trolls such as the [[Teen Troon Squad]]. In addition, Chris constantly tried to steer conversations towards his fantasies as a distraction from the unpleasant reality that the Guard Dogs brought up, as seen in [[Guard Dog chats]]. Null was eventually alienated by this behavior and walked away from Chris.

On 25 [[August 2019]], Chris, during his phase of [[Spirit_possession#Magi-Chan_.2814_August_2019_-_14_September_2019.29|role-playing as Magi-Chan]], attempted to get back in contact with Null, though Chris got upset and ragequit when Null refused to entertain his delusions.

{{quote|Chris just sent me some shit out of the blue and he immediately got upset and shut up after I addressed him as "Chris" instead of Magichan. Every single time I see this ludicrous faggot shit he's doing it's like losing {{w|Terry A. Davis|Terry [Davis]}} again. It makes me so fucking sad.|Null<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Sad About Chris's Roleplaying]]</ref>}}

Months later, when a Kiwi Farms user wondered if Null would be intervening with [[Jacob Sockness]] during that saga, Null reiterated his stance that he had washed his hands of Chris:

{{quote|I'm not doing shit. Stop tagging me into the Chris board. I don't care.|Null<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Not Dealing with Sockness]]</ref>}}

===Chris turns against Null===
{{quote|Even Null will be cowering before the judgment of the good deities, including Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu, herself.|Chris, [[June 2020]], during his phase of [[Spirit_possession#Sonichu_.2815_April_2020_-_25_February_2021.29|role-playing as Sonichu]].<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1267923788412452866?s=19</ref>}}

In [[November 2019]], Sockness, intent on [[Chris and manipulation|manipulating]] Chris to trust only him, maligned Null to Chris, telling Chris that Null was a murderer and accused him of being "the devil in human flesh".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20191103065043if_/https://twitter.com/wkbh1983/status/1190880485716582400 2 Nov 2019 tweet (archive)]</ref>

Since Sockness had been giving validation for Chris's Dimensional Merge beliefs, Chris easily took his word on Null, who had only given help based in reality and refused to entertain Chris's fantasies during his time as a Guard Dog. Chris then took to Twitter to denigrate Null and the Kiwi Farms. Among his quotes:

{{quotebox|I personally attest and confirm to these things against the Farms and Null. I am well-aware that not Everyone on the Farms is evil, but I still see genuine good amongst the remainder. Even a look into Null’s eyes reveals his demonic influence, even photographed. But, at this point and juncture, I feel it is time that I step up and finally begin the process of taking down the KiwiFarms for good. Everyone with genuine good in your hearts, I implore you all to leave the web forum for good. The time of its downfall in these set of events is upon us. I stand with the Good People in deity-level Light Power to take down the evils Null has been trying to influence upon everyone. The lives of those taken by his influence shall not have been lost in vain. Null, Troll Us No More! ⚡️💙⚡️<ref name=demonic></ref>}}

{{quotebox|Look, I Understand how this affects y’all, the good peoples; I am not blind to that. Which is Why I am encouraging all of you to ditch the KiwiFarms and escape Null’s deceptive grasp. Don’t let yourselves continue to be linked to this slew of murderous links and malintentions.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1191058119901749249</ref>}}

{{quotebox|[...] defending the Earths from the likes of Null and [[Jakoba]]. ⚡️💙⚡️<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1191800205626298369</ref>}}

Chris further stated that pony Null would die in the Dimensional Merge, while noting that the Idea Guys would live:

{{quotebox|I have read, re-read and meditated on this event: I confirm that [Sockness's assertion that trolls will not survive the Merge as their OCs will be wiped out] happens to the self-counterparts of all Haters and really bad people of [[1218]], as they were isolated in this one distant “Troll City”; All neutral and Good Trolls remain unaffected, as well as the few select bad people and haters, as they are fated to continue for a future judgment and retribution, such as [[Idea Guys|IdeaGuy and Boyd]] paying back what they extorted. I do confirm, that not of a disease, but a fated event literally took out Null’s Equestria (Pony) OC axnd self-counterpart, even though drawn by my hand some time ago. This had happened beyond my own control. So, among the bulk of Haters, Null will not survive.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1193056298750955525</ref>}}

===Allies again===
[[File:CWCCoinPose.jpg|thumb|200px|Chris attempts to photograph a profile shot of himself for Null's coin run.]]
{{quote|Moon is an ally; we are of neutral feeling about him, and we are most grateful for his help and abilities throughout all of these times, despite his consciously spoken “disbelief” in things “fictional”, regardless of them all being literal fact and happening as we speak.|Chris in [[Discord Q&A 2]], August 2020.}}
[[File:Nullcwccoin.jpg|thumb|100px|Final design of the coin.]]

After [[Sockness]]'s influence over Chris ended, Chris viewed Null as an ally once again. Null assisted Chris with arranging potential interviews.<ref>[[November 2020 social media posts#Dimensional merge stuff]]</ref> In [[February 2021]], Null asked Chris for permission to use his image in the creation and sale of coins for a Kiwi Farms merch run, also offering compensation for using his likeness.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/post-8761272 (https://archive.fo/9C4Z1)</ref> Chris agreed to this and promoted the coins on his Twitter.<ref>https://twitter.com/Job4_2/status/1381713091092738052 (Archive https://archive.fo/9FDsh)</ref>

Null has stated that he has a plan for assisting Chris with [[Chris%27s_homes|housing]] for after his mother passes away.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/post-9187706</ref>

Chris was apparently under the impression Null had ties to organized crime. According to Null, at some point, Chris tried asking him to kill someone.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/post-9662488</ref> According to [[Kyle]], in [[February 2021]], Chris wanted a hooker and asked Kyle to ask Null to get him one.<ref>[[The Place chats (March 2021)#Chris wanted a hooker]]</ref>

In [[June 2021]], Null announced that Chris would attend [[Everfree Northwest]], a ''[[My Little Pony]]'' convention to be held on 13 [[August 2021]]. He mentioned vetoing Chris's plan to drive there and recommended taking a flight, saying he would help Chris with financial arrangements.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/chris-is-going-everfree-northwest.93521/ (https://archive.fo/iHdQU)</ref> On 9 July 2021, Null created [[Help send Chris-Chan to Everfree NW|a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the trip]]. The GoFundMe met its $1000 goal 6 hours after going live. Throughout the majority of [[July 2021]], Null helped Chris by continuing to organize and update the GoFundMe campaign.

===Null cuts ties===

On 30 July 2021, after evidence surfaced of Chris committing [[Chris and sex#Incest|incest]] with Barb, Everfree Northwest [[List_of_places_that_have_banned_Chris|banned Chris]] from their convention. Null then decided to refund the GoFundMe donors their money as the GoFundMe no longer served a legitimate purpose.<ref>[[Help send Chris-Chan to Everfree NW#Update 4]]</ref>

The following day on 31 July 2021, during the fallout from the aforementioned incest allegations against Chris, who was now legally barred from [[14 Branchland Court]] and from contacting his mother for a week by Emergency Protective Order, a conversation was held between Null and Chris. Null, who was allowed by Chris to help manage his email account, noticed an email notification from a bank showing a transfer of $750 from Barbara's bank account to Chris. When asked, Chris initially denied transferring any money, but later admitted to lying to Null about the funds after being confronted with proof.

Null then notified the [[jerkop|police]] that Chris had taken money from Barbara in a potential violation of the EPO and then cut all ties with Chris, blocking him on [[Twitter]] and telegram.<ref>[[Incest fallout chat leaks#Chris takes money from Barb]]</ref>

In [[September 2021|September]], Chris, from jail, directed [[Jail Letter - 19 September 2021|a letter to Null]] in which he expressed upset at Null for "betraying" him over revealing the theft and mentioned that he had taken the money because he had felt uncomfortable sleeping in his car in a parking lot. He compared Null's behavior to Judas's betrayal of Jesus in the [[Chris and religion|Bible]]. The money which Chris had stolen had gone toward a motel room (and likely, [[LEGO]] toys).<ref>[[Jail Saga#Arrest]]</ref>

'''Christmas''' or, as [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]] once [[CWC-isms|called it]], '''C-Mas''',<ref>[[Sonichu's News Dash]]</ref> is one of our hero's favorite holidays. He [[Jail Saga|almost always]] celebrates it at [[14 Branchland Court|home]] with his family, and often mentions it in his comics and videos.

==Christmas in the Chandler family==

{{quote|We celebrate like normal; a decorated tree, get-together, remembering [[Jesus]] and all.|ChrisChanSonichu, [[Mailbag 2#Holidays with the Chandlers|Mailbag #2]].}}

Barbara's extended family holds (or at least used to hold) Christmas gatherings, probably in Red Oak or the Richmond area. The Chandlers used to attend these, but they stopped doing so at some point, possibly after the death of [[Aunt Corrina]] in 2009. [[Cole Smithey]] used to attend these gatherings as well but apparently stopped sometime after 2004. As of 2007, he would spend the holidays with his wife's family in California.<ref>[[Cole Smithey E-mails]]</ref>

As such, Chris normally spends Christmas with just [[Barbara]] and (before his passing) [[Bob]].

As evidenced by videos like [[100 2281]] and [[Tour of Chris's House]], the Chandlers keep a Christmas tree and decorations in their [[kitchen]] year-round because they are too lazy to take it down.

"Santa Clause" [[Chris and English|[sic]]] (not to be confused with [[wikipedia:The Santa Clause|the Tim Allen movie that uses this spelling]]) is a legendary character associated with Christmas, whom many Western children believe in.
According to surveys, most of these same children stop believing in Santa around the age of eight, often when they find out it was actually [[Borb|their parents]] playing the role of Jolly St. Nick. However, Chris claims that he still believes in "Santa Clause" [sic], despite pushing 40. He even put Santa's name on his [[JERKS#The List Of Males Chris Doesn't Hate|List Of Males Chris Doesn't Hate]], which may imply that he: a) believes "Santa Clause" [sic] is real, b) believes Santa is a manly male man capable of landing himself a girlfriend (see also the [[Mailbag 20#Viagra roleplay and something about Santa Claus|Mailbag quote]] above). Also worth of note is the fact that Chris chose to put Santa's name on the list before [[God]] and [[Jesus]]...because, come on, these two [[JERKS]] never brought him even the tiniest presents!

Of course, all this doesn't necessarily mean that Chris actually ''does'' believe in Santa. Chris probably maintains this line because he ''wants'' to believe it and maintain memories of the happy Christmases of his childhood. For Chris, who still plays with da [[Lego]]s, professing a belief in Santa is "cute" and shows that he is "young at heart", one of his favorite traits.

In a 2010 [[Jackie e-mails Part 1|e-mail exchange]] with a woman, Chris stated that he [[Honor roll|learned]] Santa wasn't real around age fifteen or sixteen, but finally "gave up on him" at 24 after he failed to bring him a girlfriend for the third year in a row.

However, in a September 2018 tweet, Chris indicated that he maintained a belief in Santa<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180906181412/https://twitter.com/cwcsonichu/status/1036680791802167297</ref>. Chris was 36 years old when he made the comment.

==Christmas-related songs and merch==
Chris also got the name of his [[Lovely Weather|future wife]] from singing a 1950's Christmas song over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, which actually [[Autism|says a lot about him]].

He also seems to have an affinity for the song "[[Wikipedia:Deck the Halls|Deck the Halls]]", as he raged like an idiot because the word [[homos|gay]] should only be used in context of "happy", as in the song.<ref>[[IRC (02 January 2009)]]</ref>

==Other confessions==
Being the totally sensitive and tolerant person he is, Chris in his ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' Christmas special (the [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|text]] and [[Sonichu 11|comic]] versions) mentions the ways [[CWCville]] citizens of different faiths (that is, "Jewish folk", Buddhists, possibly [[Niggos|black people]], and "a few humbuggers") celebrate their own wacky versions of Christmas. In 2019, he referred to the holiday season as ''ChristmaHannuaKwanzaka''.<ref>[[December 2019 social media posts]]</ref>

===Hanukkah/Chanukkah===
{{quote|Cera continues with a question, holding a cookie in a zip-loc bag, "I've invited Kevin too; do you think he'll like this candle-shaped cookie I made for him? He told me he was Jewish, and I thought it would be appropriate." Rosechu replies, "I think he'll love it. You have made it really special with the white frosting for the wax and the yellow for the flame. Uh, what kind of cookie was it again?" "Vanilla", replies Cera, "I felt it best to keep it neutral, in case he was allergic to the peanut butter or chocolate." "Very Smart," says Rosechu with a smile, exchanging a high-five with Cera.|''[[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas]]'', Act I}}

"[[IRC (22 December 2008)|Haunaka]]"/"[[IRC (22 December 2008)|Chaunaka]]"/"[[Holiday Greetings|Konica]]"/"[[Shout out to Fans in Hospital|Chanukkah]]"/whatever, is a holiday [[CWCville]] "Jewish folk" celebrate while most other citizens celebrate Christmas. On December 12, members of the CWCville Jewish diaspora set up "Menorah candles" (the "Haunaka" [sic] Menorah candelabrum has 7 candles in it, while the traditional Menorah used on Hanukkah, called a "Hanukkiah", has 9) instead of Christmas Trees, with dreidels lying under them. Since the candle-related symbolism is very much present in Hanukkah rituals, it's in good taste to give CWCville Jews anything candle-related as a gift. E.g., when [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]'s daughter [[Cerah Rosey]] baked cookies for her friends, she decided to make her Jewish friend Kevin a candle-shaped one. This is another small example of Chris's naivety as a cookie of any shape would have likely been appreciated. That Cerah couldn't choose a more obvious Hanukkah symbol (such as a Menorah or a dreidel) over a ''generic candle'' shows that Cerah has extremely poor knowledge of even the most basic of Jewish traditions known in the Gentile world.

In fact, there actually is a tradition of eating ''fried'' foods on Hanukkah, and vanilla is one of the allowed ingredients used in making them. Not that Chris knows anything about this, mind you - he just wanted to make sure that the cookie was hypoallergenic.

In [[IRC (22 December 2008)]] Chris listed "Haunaka" and "Chaunaka" as two different holidays, probably belonging to different religions. In his [[Shout out to Fans in Hospital]], he does nearly the same thing, saying "happy Hanukkah, Chanukkah, all the other holidays to everybody of other religions".

===Jolly Buddah [sic]===
{{quote|Christmas Trees are abound most everywhere: in the homes of the townfolk, [[CWCville Mall|in the stores]], [[CWCville Mayoral Office|in the offices]], and the biggest one in the center of [[McIntire Park|CWC-Central Park]]. Some have Menorah Candles, or even a Jolly Buddah [sic].|[[Sonichu 11|A Sonichu Christmas]] (the comic version)}}
{{quote|All the churches are full with all the believers, be they Christians, Jewish folk, Buddhists, and such.|[[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas]] (the text version)}}

From what we know, Buddhism is one of the religions Chris tolerates, and so he sometimes mentions it as a display of his "religious sensitivity". However, he probably doesn't know jack shit about Buddhism, and assumes that since Buddhists are all "good-hearted believers", they undoubtedly should celebrate Christmas in some way! So, in [[CWCville]], Buddhists celebrate their Buddhist Christmas by going to their Buddhist churches on starting December 12, and having a "Jolly Buddah" instead of a Christmas Tree.

By coincidence, Christmas is actually a popular holiday in some primarily Buddhist countries (such as [[anime|Japan]]). However, it's rare for celebrators to give the time special religious significance specific to their religion. Similar to how Halloween is celebrated in America based solely on the customs with practically no emphasis on the religious practices that started the holiday, so too do many Buddhists enjoy Christmas just as an excuse to put up lights, give each other gifts and participate in the same customs other people enjoy.

===Kawanza [sic]===

Little is known of what Chris thinks about [[Wikipedia:Kwanzaa|"Kawanza"]] [sic] and the related rituals, except that he [[IRC (22 December 2008)|once]] congratulated his [[trolls]] with this holiday (among others), misspelling its name in the process.

===Other faiths===

Chris doesn't say (or care, probably), what Muslims, Orthodox Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Baha'is or Atheists do in CWCville on Christmas Day. Probably they're the "few humbuggers" whom Chris derides for not celebrating C-mas/Haunaka/Kawanza/whatever those wacky Buddhists celebrate.

==Notable Christmases in Chris's life==
===1992===
[[Image:BearsteinbyChris.jpg|right|thumb|GodBear, directing his Chorus of AngelBears]]

While visiting Richmond during the Christmas season of 1992 (Chris believes it was [[1989]]), Chris got probably the most dumbfounding present of his whole life, and from [[Christopher's name change|GodBear]] himself, no less. Strolling with his father through the Regency Square Mall, Christopher, as he was called at the time, encountered a band of bears playing some Christmas songs. Chris talked to the conductor, and being half-deaf from the cacophonous music they played, the man operating the bear mistakenly named him "Christian".

From that point on, Chris insisted his name was Christian, not Christopher, and a few months later [[IT TOOK A TALKING BEAR TO GIVE THE NAME A YOUNG BOY LOVES|got his name legally changed to "Christian"]].

===2003===
A comment made by Chris in a [[ChandlerFamilyChristmas2004#Part 2|video he shot on Christmas Day of 2004]] indicate that he met [[Sarah Nicole Hammer]] on the Christmas Day of last year.

===[[2004]]===
{{quote|[[Stress sigh|[Chris sighs] ]] Well, at this time of year, all I can say right now is... that I hope Santa will comply with my request and bring me... a pretty girlfriend. And so... happy holidays from... me, Christian Chandler — by the way, you can [[Captain's Log, Stardate August 30th, 2009|call my Chris]] in public—and... thank you.|Emo Chris, [[So Need a Cute Girl]].}}
{{quote|I want a girlfriend for Christmas, to share my love, oh. I want a girlfriend for Christmas, to kiss under the mistletoe.|Chris, the poetic [[geinus]].}}

[[ChandlerFamilyChristmas2004|This Christmas]], Chris expected to get: a) a [[Sweetheart|girlfriend]] from "Santa Clause" [sic], and b) an [[Chris and remorse|apology]] from [[Mary Lee Walsh]]. Not surprisingly, he didn't get either, and became [[Stress|depressed]]. He recorded [[ChrisAfterChristmas2004|a whiny video]] about [[Sarah Hammer]] and [[Wes Iseli]].

Chris filmed himself making his father choose between a DVD or VHS copy of ''Fraggle Rock'', and giving his mother a snowglobe ([[Chris and his ego|with a picture of him in it]]) and a ''Hamtaro'' toy.

Earlier in December, he dedicated two different songs to the first of these two wishes: [[I Want a Girlfriend for Christmas]] (written on December 4) and [[All I Want For Christmas Is a Pretty Girlfriend]] (recorded on Christmas 20). The same day as the latter, Chris also recorded another song, the famous [[So Need a Cute Girl]], which was probably dedicated to the same thing.

If "Santa Clause" [sic] really exists, this proves that he's a major [[JERK]], or that he doesn't tie up girls and leave them under trees as gifts for horny manchildren.

Barb's extended family held a Christmas party this year which Chris and his parents attended. This was the last time any of them saw [[Cole Smithey]] in person.<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 27]]</ref><ref>[[Catherine#The_bowling_outing]]</ref>

===[[2005]]===

{{quote|Although I really don't mean to be cold but please don't try and advance kissing on me please. The truth is I don't want a boyfriend because I don't desire and idolize boys like other girls. I enjoy being indepentant. So you see what I mean? It's certainly nothing personal towards you. I'm just a girl who doesn't care about loving guys. That doesn't mean I can't be friends with them though.|[[Megan]] on 20 December 2005, trying to be diplomatic with Chris.}}

Chris was probably [[stress]]ed as hell, because just a few days before his [[gal-pal]] and attempted [[sweetheart]] [[Megan Schroeder]] told him she doesn't like him [[Rape|trying to kiss her]], and that she [[Homo|doesn't want to have a boyfriend at all]]. Just to add insult to injury, "Santa Clause" [sic] brought him a shitty pirate ripoff instead of a genuine Lego set that year. No boyfriend-free girl under the tree this year either.

===[[2007]]===
[[Image:Fakeout-makeout2.jpg|right|thumb|Chris and Kimmi.]]

On December 26, Chris bought himself a [[sex doll]] called [[Kimmi]], who would become a rival to his long-time artificial heartsweet [[Officer Nasty]], on [[Adamandeve.com]]. Probably because "Santa Clause" [sic] didn't bring him one this year, either.

To compliment the sex doll, Chris also bought a "Vintage XXX Cartoons DVD/CD", and received "XXX Pleasure Seekers DVD/CD" and "Playboy Magazine Digital Edition DVD/CD" for free. The fact that Chris specifically sought something as bizarre as vintage porn cartoons to [[mass debating|fap]] his crooked [[duck]] to, for some reason, sits fine with all the other weird aspects of his twisted personality.

However, being unsatisfied with fantasizing about naked women drawn in the 1960s, Chris went to Adamandeve.com again soon after New Year's Day, and purchased some more XXX-rated Holiday Gifts for himself. These include: a "2008 Adam & Eve Calendar", a "[[Card games|Romance Roulette Card Game]]" (which Chris probably plays as [[Virgin with Rage|solitaire]]), and, the strangest one of the bunch, a "Carmen Boob Mousepad", whatever that is. He also got some free items as well, namely a "XXX Pleasure Seekers DVD/CD" and, most notably, the infamous "Anal Love Beads", which would become a popular theme for [[trolling]] Chris in the ensuing year.

===[[2008]]===
Chris got "a couple of [[DVD]]s, ''Bee Movie'' on Blu-Ray, [[Obesity|assorted chocolates]] and [[Bob Walks In|a calming family moment]]" ([[IRC (28 December 2008)]]); in Chris's words, it was "simple, nothing extravagant". Bob outdid himself with a gift to [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] overshadowing Sonichu in over-the-top symbolism. "He gave her an arranged box of ornaments, with tags attached to them; each one representing her blessings; three angels, me, dad and my half-bro, Cole. Ones for [[Ruckersville]], Red Oak, [[Chandler Cats|our cats]], and one for her." (Chris, on [[IRC (27 December 2008)]]).

===[[2009]]===
Chris took the time to send [[Kill De Jack|warm wishes]] to a [[Jack Thaddeus|dear friend]]. He also received chocolate and [[video games]] from [[Mailbag 24|his family]].

===[[2010]]===
Not much is known of how Chris spent Christmas this year. All that we know for sure is that for this Christmas he asked for all websites he sees as defamatory against him, such as the CWCki and [[ED]], to disappear.<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 24]]</ref> He bought a ton of games in [[January 2011]], so he probably got PSN vouchers.

===[[2011]]===
Due to [[28 October 2011|Chris' decision to trespass at The Game Place and Barb's decision to assault an officer]], Chris's Christmas in 2011 was spent amid court appearances and the fear of potentially going to jail. It was also Chris's first Christmas sans-Bob.

===[[2012]]===
It's not known what Chris did, but he uploaded Bob's jazz marathon a few days beforehand.

{{Quote|I offer for all the complete set of songs and intros from the 1990 WTJU Jazz Marathon that my father hosted and played music of Jugs, Kazzoos and Washboards, Blues and Boogie-Woogie, plus three more hours of good jazz that was recorded with it on the original 6 Hour VHS.
http://rapidshare.com/files/3812165045/1990%20WTJU%20Jazz%20Marathon.zip
Merry Christmas.|[[Facebook]], 20 [[December 2012]]}}

On the 21st, he watched [[Wikipedia:2012 (film)|''2012'']] and thanked God and Jesus that the [[Wikipedia:2012 phenomenon|world didn't end]], which must have brightened up his Christmas.

A few days after Chris seemed miserable, saying ''"I am back to the same old feelings; lonely, depressed, etc. makes me almost wish the world had ended, so I wouldn't have to continue feeling the pain. I desperately require my true (future) Sweetheart-to-be AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN..."''<ref>[[2013 Imgur Leak]]</ref> Apparently again Santa didn't bring him a pretty girlfriend.

===[[2013]]===
Nothing but a few PS3 games. No Life Upgrade Upgrade, and still no sweetheart from the ground-up.

===[[2014]]===
Chris requested much-needed [[Lego]] sets, and even suggested "prank gifts" for [[trolls]] to send him. The day after Christmas, he went to a local [[GameStop]] to give an [[Yellow-Shirted Foe|employee]] a [[26 December 2014|special present]].

===[[2015]]===
In the build-up, Chris [[Seasons Greetings|suggested several gifts]], and sang "[[Twelve New and Old Things of Christmas]]".

===[[2016]]===
Chris hoped that [[Bob]] would enjoy Christmas in his [[Chris and death|new life]]. He also uploaded an enormous wishlist of toys and [[Transformers]] junk for fans to buy for him. He uploaded [[Sorbet likes to play with his little robot|a video]] of [[Sorbet]] playing with a robot on Christmas day.

===[[2017]]===
[[File:Sonichu 16 page-37.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|Christmas Day 2017, as portrayed in ''Sonichu'' #13.]]
Chris [[December 2017 tweets|tweeted]] ''"Just a simple Merry Christmas to Every Good Person. May your Wishes Be Answered Fully."'' According to page 33 of [[Sonichu 13|''Sonichu'' #13]], Chris kept busy on Christmas Day by reading the novel ''[[Nazis|The Man in the High Castle]]'' to appease the ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'' character Blanc (clearly one of the [[Idea Guys]] roleplaying as the CPU). Furthermore, Chris goes on to note that his communication with the CPU Vert was interrupted by ''Wolfenstein'' antagonist,
Wilhelm Strasse.

===[[2018]]===
On C-Mas 2018, the [[Teen Troon Squad]] was revealed to be behind the [[Dimensional Merge]], and they announced its delay until 2038 in our dimension. Chris still believes in it, and announced that he was "''opening presents with [[Magi-Chan]], [[Cryzel]], [[Sylvana]], [[Mewtwo]], [[Patti]] and our [[Raichu]], Fate. It was very lovely. 😊 The Dimension Merge is still in progress, within its final steps before the apex. The [[PsychicPowers|psychic]] and soulful links and events I have been having are becoming more frequent, so I do know. And all of the other deities have been working very hard together, with me as part of the group, to make this happen.''"

===[[2019]]===
Chris posted on [[Twitter]] that his sinus infection was gone, and he posted a new drawing of his [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]].<ref>[[December 2019 social media posts#Chris gears up for BABSCon with TSSSF cards]]</ref>
===[[2020]]===
On December 10, Chris, [[possessed]] by [[Sonichu]], stated that he didn't want presents, just money via PayPal, adding ''"Yes, I Know what you haters are gonna say, “OOH! Christine’s asking for money again. Don’t give her any money; she’ll just spend it on Legos and vidya games. Bladdy, bladdy blah.” No, we could use some money to keep the bank accounts better afloat this time around. Okay?"'' He also described an audio recording of a conversation between him and Magi-Chan as "an impromptu Christmas gift for all of you."<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#Chris begs for money]]</ref>

On Christmas day itself, he wished everyone a Merry Christmas [[Chris and language|in multiple languages]]<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#Merry Christmas]]</ref> and claimed that an eighth [[Sonichu Ball]] had manifested itself at his house.<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#Seven Crystal Balls]]</ref>

===[[2021]]===
[[File:JailLetter13Dec2021Drawing.png|thumb|Chris's God complex on full show]]
Chris spent Christmas in his cell at [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]], awaiting trial for [[Affair with Mother|incest]] with his mother. On Christmas Eve, he [[Jail Call - 24 December 2021|spoke with Cory Allison]] on the phone.

Chris's birthday

{{quote|Today we celebrate our CHRISTIAN LOVE DAY!|Chris, on being nearly 30.<ref name="lovedayvid">[[Christian Love Day (video)]]</ref>}}
[[File:175-SchuBday.jpg|thumb|Best wishes from Sonichu.]]

'''[[Chris]]'s birthday''', 24 February, also known as '''[[Christian Love Day]]''', is a significant date in his life, for [[Chris and his Ego|obvious reasons]]. However, the bizarre inconsistency of how he celebrates (from some new [[vidya]], to [[Examples of Chris's Ego#Christian Love Day|wanting his birthday to be a national holiday]]) warrants some inspection. [[CWCville|Coincidentally]], it was also the day the [[Nazis|Nazi Party]] was founded way back in [[Pre-1980#1920s|1920]],<ref>{{w|Nazi Party|Nazi Party - Wikipedia}}</ref> and when the Russian Government launched their [[Wikipedia: 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|war]] on Ukraine.

==Notable birthdays==

[[Image:0481-CWC18th12.jpg|thumb|Chris's best birthday EVER!]]

===1999, 17th birthday===
Chris received a Pro 200<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx4Zn5u4NQA| Commercial for the Pro 200 console.]</ref> handheld game console, and was photographed looking visibly disappointed while holding it. Interestingly, it's one of the few times where he would have been pretty justified in being so; given the console in question only had about fifteen simplistic games (in the advertising, they counted each difficulty level as an individual game), most of said games were ''Tetris'' rip-offs (and based around the same tall, thin playing field when they weren't), and it had a tiny, crappy monochrome screen and ear-grating sound. It's more than likely that [[Borb|his parents]] were suckered into buying it based on [[Chris and television|its TV advertisement making it look a lot better than it was]], and infamously promising that they would "never have to buy expensive cartridges again" on top of the cheap price for doing so. We all know [[List of Chris's video games|how well ''that'' worked out]].

He also drew "[[:File:086-BionicFlag.jpg|Bionic Over Autism]]", which would later be included in [[Sonichu 6|''Sonichu'' #6]], and created [[Espanolic]], which would later be seen on his [[Christian's Favorite Hits!|CD cover project]] for school.

===2000, 18th birthday===
While [[Trolls|most people]] would've celebrated by partying hard, doing [[Sex|something special]], or just acknowledging that they have grown into legal adults, Chris got a [[Video games|Sega Dreamcast]]. While he did have something of a party, it was very much the kind thrown for small children, composed of thrown-together decor, last-minute gifts, and some [[Friend zone|platonic]] [[gal-pals]] as guests. No [[Mia Hamm|strip club]]s, no [[Alcohol|booze]], no [[tobacky]], just ''Kenan & Kel'' and cake. Interestingly, this was allegedly Chris's best birthday ever.

Speaking of ''Kenan & Kel'', it is worth mentioning that its parent series ''All That'' featured a ''Vital Information for Your Everyday Life'' sketch that had some very, very eerie foreshadowing:

{{Quote|If you're a girl and your bra is too tight, you're uncomfortable. If you're a ''boy'' and [[Muscle bra|your bra]] is too tight, I'M uncomfortable.|Lori Beth Denberg}}

The great importance of this event apparently warranted recording as a story, "[[My big 18th party]]".

Years later, when asked by [[Kacey]] what did he do with his high school friends, Chris could not recall meeting them outside of school at any instance other than his 18th birthday.<ref>[[Kacey Call 20]]</ref> Likewise, a former Manchester High alumna who attended this birthday cannot recall any other instance in which she and the rest of Chris's high school friends ever hung out with him outside of school.<ref name>[[October 2013 Facebook Posts#Reality Comes Knocking]]</ref> Chris has stated if he were to give advice to a younger version of himself, he would tell 18 year old Chris that the gal pals he was with were hired by Bob and that he deserves better friends than the gal pals.

===2003, 21st birthday===
[[Image:0603-CWC21Note.jpg|thumb|And now the worst...]]

If the above birthday was Chris's best, then this one was probably his worst. No friends, no new [[video games]], and no [[sweetheart]]. The only present Chris received was his professor kicking him out of his [[PVCC|college]] [[Chris and English|English]] class. All wasn't lost, however, as this event was the catalyst that began the [[Love Quest]], Chris's enduring search for someone that will [[Barbara Chandler|put up with his crying and pamper him for eternity]].

===2005, 23rd birthday===
Chris documented this birthday in an issue of ''[[Sonichu's News Dash#Chris's 23rd Birthday|Sonichu's News Dash]]''. It took place at the mall and was attended by his parents, as well as "a couple of his new-found gal-pals, who all already have Boyfriends, or are otherwise undatable, due to her religion". He was treated like a child, and loved every second of it.

The gal-pal who is "undatable, due to her religion" is most likely [[Anna McLerran|Anna]]. Chris has met her prior to his 23rd birthday,<ref>As can be inferred from the fact that [[The Tale Of The Crazy Pacer]] was published on 5 [[2005#February|February 2005]], prior to Chris's birthday.</ref> and he likewise describes Mormons like Anna as undatable.<ref>[[MySpace messages#Jalena]]</ref>

===2007, 25th birthday===
[[Image:0940-CWCsAppreaciation.JPG|thumb|Chris's 25th birthday and [[DVD]] launch party.]]
To celebrate this milestone, Chris recorded an [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE|IMPORTANT MESSAGE]], inspiring girls, boys, and dudes of all teenages with the many lessons he has learned from his quarter-century of experience.

===2008, 26th birthday===
It's unknown what Chris did for his birthday on 24 February [[2008]], although a week later [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] wrote to him saying ''"Yeah that [[internet]] thing is getting very much out of hand and would like to ask if you could please take down or remove anything that has to do with me from any of your websites. I don't want to appear on those sites as well."'' A while later she discovered that Chris [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|drew and posted porn of her]]. Chaos ensued.

===2009, 27th birthday===
Chris's 27th birthday coincided with Fat Tuesday as well as the burial of his late [[Aunt Corrina]] in [[Chris's homes#Family in Red Oak|Red Oak]]. Undoubtedly, this cast a shadow on the festivities. In true Chris fashion, he bitched and complained about not being able to [[Obesity|stuff his greedy gullet full of pancakes]] at [[Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church|his church in Charlottesville]] instead of [[Chris and death|mourning]] the loss of his aunt. He would later go on to complain in [[Mumble 9]] about how Aunt Corrina ruined his special day by selfishly dying. He did receive some birthday money, which he used to fund his [[Ohio trip]] two days later.

===2010, 28th birthday===
Chris's 28th birthday is shrouded in mystery. Other than his [[ego|obsessive desire]] to see his birthday made a holiday, next to nothing is known about how it was spent. What we do know is that he ingested a [[Semen|mysterious substance]] and was [[Magical Man Potion|visited]] by another [[Jerk|male]] guest. [[Alec Benson Leary]] also [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 9|called in and congratulated him]], being the all-around nice guy that he is. Chris [[Vivian Gee E-mails, 2010#Hey, Vivian — 11 February|had been saving $100]] to pay for a prostitute as a birthday present for himself, but he ultimately abandoned that idea after [[The Wallflower]] became his friend and he assumed he would be allowed to have sex with her for free.

===2011, 29th birthday===
The events were unknown due to his hiatus from the [[Internet]], but somewhere around this time is when Chris began to [[Tomgirl Pictures|embrace his feminine side]].

* '''''Sonichu'' Canon:''' Coincidentally (or not), the homo vaccine in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] is distributed into the world's water supply on this day.

===2012, 30th birthday===
[[File:30_year_old_virgin.png|thumb|A must-see!]]
Chris entered his fourth decade in [[2012]]. The [[28 October 2011]] crimes still cast a shadow. Being the affluent [[Sony]] fanboy that he is, Chris bought himself a [[PlayStation Vita]] and a copy of ''Asphalt Injection'' (a critically-panned racing title that is the worst-reviewed title in the ''Asphalt'' franchise).

Leaked [[Facebook statuses]] revealed that Chris was not looking forward to this birthday. On 30 January, he expressed his frustrations about soon becoming a 30-year-old virgin, and a little more than a week later Chris announced on 11 February that he had no plans for his birthday.

===2013, 31st birthday===
[[Trolling]] was on Chris's mind on this birthday: he watched the slasher film about trolls ''{{w|Smiley (2012 film)|Smiley}}'' two days before, and the day after his birthday he called out [[My Little Pony|Tara Strong]] for "promoting trolling".

===2014, 32nd birthday===
Chris and his mother were staying in their [[Rental House|temporary house]] while [[14 Branchland Court|his home]] was undergoing repairs after its [[Destruction Of Chris's House|fiery destruction]]. Chris was recovering from bronchitis. It was a quiet birthday. He worked on his [[LEGO]] [[high school]], watched the ''Back to the Future'' movies, and got some free ice cream at IHOP.<ref>[[Rebeckah Bentley E-mails#Birthday]]</ref>

===2015, 33rd birthday===
Chris took to [[Facebook]], asking for a "very much required" $300 Lego set, along with ''two'' $70 Bikini Bottom sets – because he wants to make use of one piece from each set. His given motive is that he "may reconsider [his] feelings upon the lot of you" (note that the condition is that he ''may'' reconsider his feelings – [[Chris and negotiation|it's not guaranteed]], but you'll have to send him $400 in Lego blocks to find out). Unsurprisingly, Chris did not receive the gifts he asked for.

===2016, 34th birthday===
After months of living on the profits from his overpriced art and excessive donations from remorseful trolls, much like the year before, Chris's 34th birthday ended up being marked by lavish demands on his part. [[2016|This year]], he made an "[[Chris and negotiation|offer]]" to his fanbase: if they sent him a [[PS4]] bundle of his choosing for his birthday, he would in turn give them a $500 discount on his wide selection of shit on [[Etsy]]. Whether Chris even ''has'' $500 worth of merchandise that anyone would want to buy, or whether they would receive their purchases in a timely manner, is an exercise left to the reader.

Needless to say, February 24 came and went, with no PS4 forthcoming. The following day, Chris caught some Christorians off-guard by revealing ([[Update: 2/25/16|in the most lulzy fashion]]) that he had seriously expected strangers on the internet to fork out hundreds of dollars for the birthday <s>boy</s> [[Tomgirl|girl]]. Not only that, but [[Weens|some]] had even chosen instead to taunt him by sending him unactivated gift cards and used lottery tickets. And what happened then? Well, in [[CWCville]] they say – that the Mayor's massive [[Chris and his Ego|ego]] shrank three sizes that day.

Chris eventually purchased his own PS4 when nobody took him up on his "generous offer", but nonetheless pretended that he'd received it as a gift from an employee of the company he bought it from, in an apparent attempt to troll the trolls and/or rewrite history so he can continue believing that he has a massive <s>[[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (comics)|terrorist]] [[Chaotic Combo|organization]]</s> fanbase who love him and would do ''anything'' for him, even if it breaks the law. And sure enough, he's tried to use them for just that, inciting them to [[FIX SONIC'S ARMS IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!|commit acts of vandalism and even violence]].

Ultimately, many found it simultaneously funny and sad that Chris had to make up his own [[white knight]].

===2017, 35th birthday===
Turning 35 seemed to awaken a nostalgic mood in Chris; he [[A_browsing_around_an_ol%27_playground|visited an old playground]], talked about [[Bob Chandler|Bob]] and [[high school]], and looked up [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] on Facebook in the preceding weeks. The day after, Facebook showed him a video of Facebook friends wishing him a happy birthday.<ref>[[February_2017_Facebook_Posts]]</ref>

===2018, 36th birthday===
Not much happened this year, only that Chris commented about Christian Love Day on his Twitter and Facebook.

===2019, 37th birthday===
Chris tweeted a picture of his cake and [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] sang "Happy Birthday" to him.

===2020, 38th birthday===
Chris requested on Twitter that one of his enablers buy him ''Pokémon Shield''. He later asked for "something well-crafted; magic/healing stones" or just cold, hard cash.<ref>[[February 2020 social media posts]]</ref>

On the day, he [[Tweeted]] a [[Spanish]] birthday message and an image of him and orbiters forming a heart:

===2021, 39th birthday===
Chris, [[Spirit possession|role-playing]] as Sonichu, made a simultaneous [[February 2021 social media posts#Chris's birthday and Sonic World|post]] on Twitter and Instagram wishing himself a happy birthday. He also shared some gameplay of his Sonichu mod for [[Sonic World]].

===2022, 40th birthday===
Chris spent his first birthday away from home at [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]], continuing to await his trial for [[Affair with Mother|incest]].

===2023, 41st birthday===
Chris will spend another year in jail.

=="Christian Love Day"==
[[File:Christian Love Day Declaration.jpg|thumb|The Christian Love Day Declaration (which is totally TRUE and HONEST, and not a [[things Chris has ripped off|rip-off]] at all).]]
Many people see their birthday as a day of personal relevance. Chris, on the other hand, thinks everyone across the globe should be [[Chris and his Ego|focused on him too]]. First seen in the [[CWC Blog]], "Christian Love Day" is apparently a second Valentine's Day, but celebrated exclusively by STRAIGHT folk. In the [[Mailbag]], he clarified he "feels like" it should be a nationally recognized holiday, merely because [[Chris and reality|he wills it]] and it's also Mexican Flag Day. However, Chris provides no details on how to celebrate, nor does he put any effort into garnering publicity beyond [[Christian Love Day (video)|one lone video]].

In [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'']], the holiday gains slightly more credence, along with some disturbing moral stipulations. It is on this day that the homo vaccine "cures" the homosexual population of the Earth, driving the [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor]] up to critical levels. It seems to be that this fictional event is the real reason Chris wants to commemorate his birthday as a holiday (well, that and [[Chris and his Ego|ego]]). Chris either thinks his comic is so widely known that the date of its denouement would be nationally recognized, or he [[Chris and reality|has a skewed perception of the lines between fiction and reality]].

Power Rangers

2022-11-22T23:17:50Z

Crinja404:

[[File:Autism Rangers.jpg|thumb|400px|IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!]]
'''''Power Rangers''''' is a multi-decade spanning franchise that adapted the Japanese [[Wikipedia:tokusatsu|tokusatsu]] ''[[Wikipedia:Super Sentai|Super Sentai]]'' series for Western viewers. Debuting on Fox Kids, and produced by Saban Entertainment (with the original ''Sentai'' shows produced by Toei and Bandai), the show centers around a spandex-sporting team of teenagers armed with sophisticated weaponry, gadgets, and giant machines that combine into even bigger machines, who fight aliens and monsters. It was a smash hit when it first aired in the early [[1990's]], and while most of the children who enjoyed the original series have long since grown up, new seasons continue to be produced by Hasbro.

And just like everything else, [[Chris]] got his grubby little hands on them.

== Power Rangers and Chris ==
Not much is known about how much Chris enjoyed the Power Rangers franchise, though it is known that Chris prefers the original ''[[Wikipedia:Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' over the newer series...

Ever clouded by [[nostalgia]], Chris is likely either [[naïve|unaware]] that such a reunion would be impossible due to the tragic deaths of [[Wikipedia:Thuy Trang|Thuy Trang]], the original Yellow Ranger, in [[2001]] and [[Wikipedia:Jason David Frank|Jason David Frank]], the original Green Ranger, in 2022. It also didn't help that [[Wikipedia:David Yost|David Yost]], who played Billy Cranston (aka the first Blue Ranger) regrets ever being in the series in the first place because of alleged harassment over his [[homos|sexuality]].

Shockingly enough, Chris did get his wish of the original Power Rangers getting back together. Surprisingly in September 30, 2022, David Yost and Walter Jones (who played the first Black Ranger), announced a project for [[Netflix|Netflix]] in which they would produce a special that will celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary set for release in 2023. It is unknown if Netflix will bring back Austin St. John, who played the original Red Ranger, because of his [[Wikipedia:Austin St. John|legal troubles]], or [[Wikipedia:Amy Jo Johnson|Amy Jo Johnson]], who played the original Pink Ranger. It is certain that Chris will not be able to view the special, given his [[Jail Saga|recent endeavors]]...

On [[The Wall of Originals]], two hand-made Trainer cards are devoted to the series. The first is a card devoted to [[Wikipedia:Bulk and Skull|Bulk and Skull]], the two [[Trolls|dimwitted bullies]] from the original series who served as effective comic relief.<ref>[[:Image:379-Bulk.jpg]]</ref> The second is a [[Sonichu]] Zord, predating the existence of [[Son-Chu]] by at least nine years. It seems that Chris attempted to make this Sonichu Zord like the popular White Tigerzord,<ref>https://powerrangers.fandom.com/White_Tigerzord#Additional_Formations</ref> but looks less like a transforming machine and more like a whacky villain of the week that would appear in the show. Chris depicts Sonichu's head slapped on its chest, with a dull gray robot head popping up in the first head's place, and its tail being used as a sword.<ref>[[:Image:224-SchuZord.jpg]]</ref> Needless to say, it fails horribly.

== Power Rangers in ''Sonichu'' ==
[[Image:KartMegazord.jpg|thumb|right|The Kart Megazord - seriously, what the hell?]]
In the [[CWCipedia]]'s article on the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]], it is mentioned that Chris was once a member of a Power Rangers team, despite the fact that all the other teams have been from California or outer space. In fact, [[Chris and his Ego|he was the team's leader!]]

It doesn't mention who he fought or what he fought or even what powers he used, but it is said he piloted a go-kart(?) that was "sleek like an [[Wikipedia:Star Fox (series)#Arwing|Arwing]]" and was the head of the so-called Kart Megazord. Sadly (for our sake), Chris disbanded the team before his graduation, but soon installed a new, younger team to take the reins.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170803073843/https://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Private_villa_of_corrupted_citizens</ref>

(As an interesting aside, Chris pretty much [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripped off]] the go-kart vehicles, the "Kart Megazord" and the graduation disbanding and reforming from one of the earlier seasons of the TV show, namely ''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers Turbo|Power Rangers Turbo]]'', the American version of ''[[Wikipedia:Gekisou Sentai Carranger|Gekisou Sentai Carranger]]''.)

In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Allison Amber]] calls in the Power Rangers to fend off an attack by [[Slaweel Ryam]] (or possibly [[CChanSonichuCWC|Liquid Chris]]). The next panel depicts several people rushing off in ridiculous-looking cars. If these are indeed the Power Rangers, they have yet to be seen again.<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_9/Page_43 Sonichu 9 p.43]</ref> Near the end of the story, the Kart Megazord makes an appearance, with [[Magi-Chan]] telling Sonichu and Rosechu that the team, now known as the CWC-Power Rangers, used their Megazord to defeat the giant [[B-Manajerk]] and the [[Merried Seinor Comic]]. <ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_9/Page_92 Sonichu 9 p.92]</ref>

In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], to drive those inside the [[4-cent_garbage.com]] Tower out, Chris and the Hedgehog Boys play a song entitled "[[Revive Zordon]]". This [[Chris and music|excellent]] song (which is sung to the tune of [[Wikipedia:Ted Nugent|Ted Nugent]]'s "[[Wikipedia:Cat Scratch Fever (song)|Cat Scratch Fever]]", of all things) features lyrics written by Christian himself. In it, the band laments that the character [[Wikipedia:Zordon|Zordon]] was killed off at the very end of ''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers in Space|Power Rangers in Space]]'', and demands that he be brought back. The song also serves as a rant against "today's c***py ''Power Rangers''".

Interestingly enough, a few of Chris's other creations seem to derive themselves from various Power Ranger-based villains. The design of [[Samurai Pizza Bots]] character Excelina seems to be cribbed from [[Wikipedia:Machine Empire#Princess Archerina|Princess Archerina]], a minor villain from ''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers Zeo|Power Rangers Zeo]]''. The most surprising is that [[Silvana]]'s design and origin is directly stolen from [[Wikipedia:Karone|Karone/Astronema]], a major villain turned hero in ''Power Rangers in Space'' who ended up becoming a Ranger herself in ''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|Power Rangers Lost Galaxy]]''.

''For the character which the movie is based on, see [[Sonic the Hedgehog]].''

{{quote| If these Movie People REALLY want to sell me and EVERYONE, In General: Get Sonic’s Shoes and Arm Colour Right, Get Mike Pollock to play Robotnik, and HONOR the Past Source Materials in the Story of this “Movie”.|Chris<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1074510066286497793</ref>}}

[[File:Sonic-the-hedgehog-movie-design-2019.jpg|300px|thumb|right|[[Sonic Boom Protests|The horror returns.]]]]
[[File:NewMovieSonic.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Much better!]]
'''''Sonic the Hedgehog''''' is the name of the live-action movie adaptation of the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' video game series, originally set to be released on 8 [[November 2019]] before being delayed to 14 [[February 2020]]. The film is notorious for the backlash to Sonic's character design, and unlike [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris's]] unsuccessful [[Sonic Boom Protests|''Sonic Boom'' Protests]], Sega actually complied with fan demand to change Sonic's design after the initial design was collectively mocked by the internet for being unintentionally creepy.

==Previews==

Leaks for the then-upcoming movie revealed several drastic changes from the source material. Responding to news on the film in [[June 2018]], Chris used his [[Chris and reality#Sister dimensions|psychic powers]] to confer with Sonic to learn that Sonic disliked the movie, also alluding to his undying hatred of seeing Sonic with blue arms, [[26 December 2014|something that put him in hot water back in 2014]].

{{quotebox|Even Sonic, himself, states that this movie does no good justice for him at all. It’s the “Sonic Boom” video game all over again, but in Movie Form, and no blue arms. My two cents, I would Protest to make the movie BETTER and have the people take a Lot more time on it. ⚡️⚡️<ref name="Jim">[[June 2018 social media posts]]</ref>}}

Sonic did not inform Chris that the movie designers had given him blue arms. When Chris found out from a March 2019 leak, he was displeased, showing that his 2014 viewpoint was anything but changed:

{{quotebox|I agree; and I had already stated the need for improvement/change: SONIC’S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/post-4400343</ref>}}

[[File:JimCarreyasEggmanleak.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Robotnik's head is not friggin' haired! Change it back now NOW NOW!]]

Chris's animosity with the movie's character designs even extended to Jim Carrey's casting as [[Doctor Robotnik]].

{{quotebox|BOO!!! Carrey does not have the chops to get Eggman’s Voice as Awesome as it has been with Mike. Let Mike Voice Eggman in this movie!<ref name=Jim></ref>}}

When the design of Robotnik was revealed, Chris raged:

{{quotebox|Simply put: NO, @SonicMovie, NO! NO, NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO... HELL F***ING "N", "O".<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/page-1029#post-4640551</ref>}}

The first trailer was released on 30 April 2019. Days later, Chris attempted to reach out to the movie's staff via Twitter (not realizing they cannot see his tweets as his account was in protected mode at the time):

{{quotebox|@SonicMovie, Listen to this dude on WatchMojo; he agrees with me and everyone else about this movie. Delay it a few months and Redo the whole thing.<ref name="may-posts">[[May 2019 social media posts]]</ref>}}

[[File:CWC opinion on Sonic movie redesign.png|thumb|left|200px|Chris's opinion of the Sonic redesign.]]

Chris was not alone in his displeasure with Sonic’s design, as the trailer received widespread backlash for his creepy design. Jeff Fowler, the film's director, claimed they would redesign him again before its release.

{{quoteboxred|Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear... you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be... #sonicmovie #gottafixfast 🔧✌️ }}

A relieved Chris (attempted to) thank him:

{{quotebox|Thank You for listening. 😊⚡️💙⚡️<ref name="may-posts"/>}}

[[File:VDAy shirt.jpeg|thumb|Chris wore this to the movies alone on Valentine's Day.]]

It's worth mentioning the first trailer prominently uses the song "[[(Clyde's) Trollsta's Paradise|Gangsta's Paradise]]" by Coolio, though this is most likely a coincidence. As a side note, the main trailer for ''Pokémon Detective Pikachu'' uses the song "[[CWC Holding Out for a Hero|Holding Out for a Hero]]" by Bonnie Tyler, also probably coincidental.

In January 2020, Chris responded to a leak of Sonic's redesign:

{{Quotebox|I am Grooving on this Speedy Track of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (film)|@SonicMovie]]. ⚡️ZapMeUp!⚡️}}

Chris rated the redesign it 9 out of 10 – possibly docking a point for the inclusion of blue arms.

==Release==

General criticism of movies based on video game franchises are not uncommon, with very few exceptions such as ''[[Pokémon]]: Detective Pikachu''.<ref>[https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pokemon_detective_pikachu Rotten Tomatoes] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190505061721/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pokemon_detective_pikachu archived version])</ref> According to the BBC in 2001, the genre has a poor record at the box office,<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1735662.stm</ref> and [[wikipedia:Uwe Boll|Uwe Boll]]’s attempts only worsened the notoriety of the genre. Quite simply put, many movies based on video game franchises do not perform well because it lacks the interactivity and non-linearity that makes video game franchises like Sonic successful.<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VideoGameMoviesSuck TV Tropes - Video Game Movies Suck]</ref>

Nonetheless, ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' managed to overperform its opening weekend projections, was met with a moderately positive reception from critics and received praise from fans of the video games, and though it was hampered by [[COVID-19]] leading to shutdowns of movie theater chains worldwide, it managed to be a hit and become the third highest-grossing film of 2020 <ref>[https://www.the-numbers.com/market/2020/top-grossing-movies Annual Movie Chart - 2020]</ref> (in no small part due to blockbusters being unable to play in a large capacity with a public concerned about contracting the virus). A sequel, which featured a more video-game-accurate design for Doctor Robotnik (seen at the very end of the first film), Tails, and Knuckles was released on 8 [[April 2022]]. Chris ultimately had [[Affair With Mother|other plans]] though...

Chris liked the movie, writing on Twitter...
{{quotebox|The Movie is Really Good; Much better than one would perceive it. The character development, story and other details are worth the watch and enjoyment. You all #GottaGoFast to see the Sonic Movie This Weekend!. Only two flaws: they kept the “Child in the bag” not-joke (cringe for less than a minute), and they left out the “9 Million Steps” line. Other than that, Simply Delightful and Awesome.<ref>[[February 2020 social media posts]]</ref>}}
