<br />
'''Egotism''' is the most important and self-destructive of [[Chris and his personality|Chris's flaws]]. It is because of this egotism that Chris got so many trolls and why he is never going to have a Sweetheart.<br />
<br />
[[File:ChrisSlimeComicP2.jpg|Chris strokes his ego by having two of [[Ben Saint]]'s characters admire him.|thumb|250px]]<br />
<br />
[[Image:SchuComic0P44.jpg|thumb|'''Egotism''', (noun): the belief that your pain (getting kicked out of the [[Charlottesville Fashion Square|mall]] for being creepy) trumps all others (divorce and loss of a beloved wife, children, and home).]]<br />
<br />
==Origins==<br />
{{Quote|When you don't have people in your life pushing you, can you push yourself?|[[Raspberry Swirl|Tori Amos]]}}<br />
<br />
Why is Chris such an egotist? In his sheltered childhood, his enabling parents taught him to [[Chris and remorse#Shifting blame|shift blame for all of his troubles]] to other people. A sense of entitlement, again homegrown, skewed his perception of the proportionality between his [[Stress|problems]] and those of other people. Chris doesn't completely lack empathy; he isn't a psychopath, but the internal 'scale' by which he weighs the importance of himself against that of others tilts far in his favor. The problem was compounded by his [[autism]], making it difficult for him to understand social cues and relate normally to his peers. Quite simply, [[Chris and reality#In the real world|he grew up in a different world.]]<br />
<br />
But that explains why Chris ''was'' an egotist, ''struggled with'' egotism, or ''has tendencies towards'' egotism. While Chris's childhood was less than ideal, it shouldn't have been quite so crippling. Time and experience should have helped temper his ego, and his [[Cole Smithey|half-brother]] supposedly suffered far worse and still managed to make something of himself. His paternal half-siblings managed to acquire doctorate degrees, becoming an eye doctor and a math expert respectively. They were able to develop and learn from the past.<br />
<br />
Chris's development isn't just delayed – it is arrested. His {{w|egocentrism}} has persisted well into his forties when most children usually grow out of it around age seven. Autism isn't to blame entirely; while autistic people's idiosyncrasies can make them appear self-centered on the surface, only a few are self-absorbed. Most still have interest in others, and many get help to develop coping strategies and social skills. Not Chris, though. <br />
<br />
Chris is still an egotist because he lives in a social time capsule that has allowed him to carry on for over a decade without a single life lesson. And he still lives in that time capsule because it is easy, it is comfortable, and [[Enablers|people]] [[White-Knighting|let him]].<br />
<br />
===The enablers===<br />
{{incomplete|information on how his parents enabled Chris}}<br />
[[File:0063-BobAndBarbaraNewLife.jpg|thumb|Exhibit A.]]<br />
{{quote|Drunk or not, they had me. At an old age where my mother was so close to menopause and my father was a senior citizen. I was truly a miracle.|Chris, [[Mumble 3]]}}<br />
<br />
Chris' first enablers were his parents. Under their watch, Chris was pampered, enabled and shielded from any accountability.<br />
<br />
It can also be said the school system was yet another enabler in Chris's formative years. This was especially true at [[Manchester High]]. Chris's parents and the principal helped arrange the [[gal-pals]]. This has resulted in Chris developing a rather warped view on women and friends; they let Chris believe they were legitimate friends, but in reality, they only stayed close with him out of pity and/or to protect him from bullies. [[Manchester High Leaks|Chris received passing grades on schoolwork he didn't do correctly]], yet still eventually graduated on [[honor roll]] (or so he says), presumably out of excessive pity on the teachers' part. Were that indeed the case, it might have encouraged Chris to put in less than [[Chris and work|half-baked effort into things]] and yet act like the end result is something spectacular.<br />
<br />
===The Information Superhighway===<br />
{{Main|Chris and the Internet|Computers}}<br />
<br />
A member of the {{w|Xennials|Oregon Trail generation}}, Chris has made many significant memories before 1991, when the {{w|World Wide Web}} made Internet access feasible for the masses<ref>"World Wide Web" and "Internet" are often used interchangeably, but they are different services. The Internet is a network and protocol for connecting computers, dating back to the 1960's. The Web ''uses'' the Internet to transfer resources such as documents via URL's, invented in 1991. [[How To Talk To Girls|One is the magnet, and the other is the metal]].</ref>. However, he would use the Internet regularly by the time he left [[high school]]. Born in [[1982]], he came of age in [[2000]], placing his childhood in a different millennium from his adulthood. Windows XP came out soon after, and with it came a multitude of "prosumer" creative programs, giving Chris something to do after kissing his [[gal-pals]] goodbye. <br />
<br />
With these new programs, Chris could record and share his own [[music]], publish his comics online, and even create his own [[DVD]]. These services were previously reserved for professionals who had access to expensive studio equipment, but they were now in the hands of the masses. Later in the decade, Chris became involved with [[YouTube]] and [[Facebook]], providing even more venues for self-publication. He no longer needed to wait for the [[Chris in the media|news media]] to notice him; he could ''be'' the media! <br />
<br />
Chris joined YouTube much earlier than many more respected web-celebs, during a time when most people saw it as a silly cat video website, and not a viable career that people would genuinely desire having. But remember: this was Chris's closest brush with fame since the [[Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes|local]] [[Chris Chan in the PokéNews|news]].<br />
<br />
===Blind luck and the cherry-picking fallacy===<br />
[[Image:SlamAttack.jpg|thumb|Local Boy Levels Up.]]<br />
[[Image:391-SchuPVCCArticle.jpg|thumb|left|Article in PVCC's ''Forum'', proof that some people have too much time on their hands.]]<br />
[[Image:Famewhore.jpg|thumb|McIntire Park.]]<br />
<br />
A [[GameStop Be A Star Sweepstakes|contest]] or [[Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes|two]] here; a [[Chris Chan in the PokéNews|9-second local TV blip]] there. The results are that outside events most people never experience have stroked Chris's already monstrous ego. <br />
<br />
Consider that Chris has produced a ''huge'' volume of fan mail, letters-to-the-editor, [[Internet]] commentary, and other drivel, partially because he doesn't have much else to do. Each letter to [[Nintendo]] is a message in a bottle: most of them never return, but the one that does - on an official letterhead, and addressed to Mr. C. W. Chandler - is confirmation of his celebrity.<ref>[[An Official Sonichu Update]]</ref> <br />
<br />
{{quotebox|Yeah...it says here that, uh, yeah...they—th—it goes on to say that:<br />
<br />
:"Nintendo of America has some of the most devoted, enthusiastic fans of any game developer. Each week, they receive, uh, hundreds of thousands of suggestions about their games and systems. While they would love to, uh, use ideas from f—fa—from fans to develop actual products, due to the volume of the, uh, requests they receive and the resources it would take to process them, they do not accept unsolicited game or product ideas. But they are committed to being at the leading edge of game and hardware development, though, and they can be sure that they are constantly at work developing new and exciting products and game ideas."<br />
<br />

''[...]'' they say that, uh, the best way to let other fans know about my idea or to generate hype about the future game I'd like to see is to post the ideas to the forums on their sites.}}<br /><br />
<br />
[[Honor roll|The concept of form letters does not seem to occur to Chris]], who seems to think the letter was written specifically for him. As if Chris didn't think his material was golden to begin with, he got a second nod from ''Nintendo Power'' for his epic [[Animal Crossing Documentary]], and a page in the [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|PVCC]]'s ''Forum'' is just icing on the cake. Even before his e-fame, Chris had plenty of evidence to convince himself that he ''was'' creative, and not just a high-volume, whiny jerk that had pestered his way to acknowledgment. As he graduated from PVCC in [[2006]], his writing shows that [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] was, in his mind, already tested: there was just some small threshold of notoriety or connections that needed to be breached, to become a true media sensation.<br />
<br />
On top of that, Chris has a huge amount of free time to inject himself into situations like the [[McIntire Park]] meetings, which allows him to cherry-pick more moments of recognition. A tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment by the local council seems cute to us, but is serious business to him. And since Chris cherry-picks only the reinforcement that he wants, his legions of [[troll]]s just add to the fire. Delusion led him to believe that he had a legion of fans, for a time; a few hundred emails in his inbox confirmed it.<br />
<br />
===Big fish, small pond===<br />
Chris is a small town [[transgender|girl]], living in a [[Saddest Heart in the World|lonely world]]. Let's take a look at the cities of his life:<br />
<br />
* [[Ruckersville]] is such a tiny place that it only has one other notable resident: NASCAR driver Philip Morris, who is no Jeff Gordon or Danica Patrick. <br />
* The neighboring city of [[Charlottesville]] is mostly relevant for [[UVA]], the Monticello, and a handful of political rallies. It is a historic town, but it still has a small-town feel. It offers suburban conveniences like public parks, movie theaters, and a multitude of strip malls, but it lacks the hallmarks of a big city.<br />
* Chris's teenage environment, suburban [[Richmond]], is much more robust. However, Chris had a very sheltered adolescence and experienced little of what growing up in a large metropolitan area usually entails. Richmond also suffers from being far from any other major cities (except for Washington, DC).<br />
<br />
Chris rarely visits big cities that would quickly humble him. He lives in a very isolated world; his hometown has a smaller population than some high schools, and it isn't really known for up-and-coming artists. His main frame of reference was his classmates. Many of them took art as an elective, without any plans of becoming professionals.<br />
<br />
Additionally, him "succeeding in spite of his [[autism]]" might have only been relevant because the smaller school population made him one of the few autistic kids in class. In reality, autism is a fairly common condition that's more-often-than-not quite manageable with the right help and support, and many autistic kids grow up to be successful autistic adults. <br />
<br />
Despite not being conventionally popular, Chris peaked in [[high school]]. He bases most of his merit on his various HS accomplishments, and he talks about the time as if it were the time of his life. He considers himself bilingual because he took [[Spanish]]. He takes pride in the fact that his school displayed his work publicly, even though schools do that all the time. Chris's [[Comic Chris|comic book incarnation]] bears a strong resemblance to his high school self. Comic Chris doesn't wear [[glasses]] (the real Chris didn't wear them until 1998), and he's in good shape (much like HS Chris, likely because of gym class). Chris would often bring up his placement on the [[Honor Roll]] as proof of his intelligence, and his mental health would sharply decline after graduation. <br />
<br />
Chris has taken his big fish mentality out of his small pond and transferred it to the large ocean of the [[Internet]], not knowing that it's filled with much larger [[trolls|sharks]].<br />
<br />
One of Chris's <s>trolls</s> [[sweetheart]]s, [[Catherine]], suggested that he ought to move to a place like San Francisco or Seattle, or anywhere outside suburban Virginia. She told him that these places are more LGBT-friendly and have more job prospects, and that these West Coast cities have higher minimum wages and more robust benefit and rehabilitation programs for autistic folks. She had several major points, but Chris just told her "but there's no San Francisco in Virginia," completely missing all of them. Wanting to have his cake and eat it too, Chris chose to stay in his small-town Southeastern bubble because it's easier for him, yet he would clearly benefit from living in a more developed, liberal-minded area.<br />
<br />
In the same conversation, Chris stated the real reason for not leaving is that he doesn't want to leave his mother behind. Chris even brought up that he doesn't want to move out of state after Barb dies.<ref>[[Cousin Al#Bowling Outing]]</ref> <br />
<br />
Chris did acknowledge the perks of moving out of his valley, but it's only logical for him to move out. What is a person obsessed with fame and art doing in a place known for neither? Why does a loud-and-proud bisexual trans woman want to live in a place where most residents are massively homophobic and/or anti-trans? Why does the world's most documented autistic person want to live in an area that, by his own admission, doesn't understand autistic people? And why does someone who desperately wants a compatible partner limit himself to a tiny dating pool and then resort to long-distance troll dating, when there probably ''is'' someone for him in the Los Angeles area? And why, just why, does Chris want to treat his [[14 Branchland Court|dwelling]] as a temple for all to flock to, when it's so remote that Google Street View still doesn't cover it?<ref>Street view last checked 25 March 2026</ref> <br />
<br />
Because it's easy to be a big fish in a small pond, even after pissing off the other fish and getting [[banned]] from your favorite hangouts. <br />
<br />
Self-aggrandizing is fairly common in the family, and they can generally get away with it because of the small-town mentality. Chris's family loves to bring up [[Bob]]'s injection molding patent. He claims that we wouldn't even have a simple water bottle without it. In reality, {{w|plastic injection molding}} was invented before Bob was born. The Wikipedia article doesn't even mention Bob. All he designed was a control panel for one specific machine that has become obsolete for decades. If Bob didn't design it, [[Asperchu|someone else would have]]. Even Cole Smithey, who managed to escape the Weston-Chandler household as a young adult and go on to have a fairly successful career, bills himself as "The smartest film critic in the world".<br />
<br />
==Chris and narcissism==<br />
{{quote|I, was mistaken, but not wrong|Chris<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/November_2017_Facebook_posts#Mistaken_about_being_linked_with_Uzume</ref>}}<br />
[[Image:Narcissus.jpg|thumb|A [[TRUE and HONEST]] depiction of narcissism.]]<br />
<br />
It's unlikely that Chris actually suffers from {{w|narcissistic personality disorder}} (although [[Barbara Chandler|it's likely that someone else in his family]] does). While extreme self-centeredness and egotism is often conflated with the term 'Narcissism', NPD is also an existing mental condition characterized by more factors, such as emotional manipulation or split personalities for different people. Given the fact that Chris himself is too stupid to actually emotionally manipulate anyone, let alone [[Chris and manipulation|avoid getting continually manipulated himself,]] Chris most likely isn't a narcissist in the real sense. However, it's possible that Barbara, who did employ plenty of abusive NPD-like traits such as suicide-baiting, might have influenced Chris's behavior in some ways. Chris actually mentioned, in a theatrical manner, considering suicide on his facebook posts several times, [[June 2014 Facebook Posts#And It Begins...|even for something as inconsequential as]] [[Sonic Boom Protests|Sonic the Hedgehog's arms being recolored blue]]. Another noticeable aspect is Chris's need to shove his own name, initials and [[Sonichu (character)|creations]] every chance he gets, specially other people's works, if it guarantees fame.<br />
<br />
That said, while a lot of factors like his relentless attention-whoring or his lack of empathy coincide with symptoms of the Disorder, factors of his ego were mostly results of his shitty upbringing and awful luck for winning contests giving him a huge sense of self-importance. Not to mention [[Chris and kindness|his lack of empathy for others]] was also partly caused by his autism. If Chris ''does'' have NPD, he likely has a [[Slow in the minds|low functioning]] variant of the disorder, and it may be hard to delineate his potential NPD symptoms from established ASD ones. [http://samvak.tripod.com/journal72.html Further reading is required to confirm the difference.]<br />
<br />
==Manifestations==<br />
Chris's egotism manifests itself in a variety of ways.<br />
<br />
===Unwarranted self-importance===<br />
[[Image:Apology to Mary Lee.jpg|thumb|Very gracious.]]<br />
{{See also|True and Loyal Fanbase}}<br />
{{quote|I have had way over a million fans worldwide since I went online in before [[2000]].|-Chris, [[Mailbag 48]].}}<br />
<br />
As overwhelming as Chris's unwarranted self-importance is, it's easy for the novice [[troll|observer]] to get lost in the sea of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' shit and assume that he's just confident in his e-fame. "Of course," you say, "he's got a billion hits on [[YouTube]] and a thousand emails in his mailbox. He's going to think he's hot shit, like every other [[Unholy Quintet|laughed-at-not-with dumbass]] on the [[DeviantArt|internet]]".<br />
<br />
But nothing sums up Chris's deep and abiding USI like this missive to [[Mary Lee Walsh]]:<ref>[[Mary Lee Walsh#Emails with Mary|Emails with Mary]]</ref><br />

<br />
It's so bad that when Chris meets someone new who claims not to know who he is, he seems skeptical and surprised.<ref>Exchange with the [[Man in the Pickle Suit]], [[Emily Date Conversation Transcript#Meet the Pickle .2801:21:44 - 01:25:29.29|Emily Date Conversation Transcript]]</ref> <br />

<br />
The instant gratification, instant acknowledgment, and instant attention - good or bad - that has come with his minor e-fame of the last few years has thoroughly convinced Chris that people ''do'' read everything he writes, and that his YouTube messages ''invariably'' get to his target audience.<br />
<br />
{{quote|I realize I am famous like a princess|Chris on Twitter in October 2017}}<br />
<br />
{{quote|Notable resident in Ruckersville, VA alongside a NASCAR racer, and about the 29,000th most popular individual in this world, so where is the Wikipedia Article about me? ⚡️💙⚡️|Chris on Twitter in August 2018}}<br />
<br />
He also describes himself as "managing the varsity team"<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_7/Page_22]</ref> in high school, when actually he was a waterboy.<br />
<br />
But if, even after all of this, you're ''still'' not convinced that Chris has unwarranted self-importance issues, consider this little tidbit: he posted autographed pictures of himself on [[eBay]]. Looking like [[:File:Chris-chan 010714.JPG|this]], [[Chris and health#Hygiene|no less]]. Make of that what you will.<br />
<br />
===Fixation on self-image===<br />
Chris has created many avatars of himself through several mediums.<br />

<br />
===Persecution complex===<br />
[[Image:Issue4.jpg|thumb|Saint Christian the Martyr, [[(Clyde's) Trollsta's Paradise|walking through the valley of the shadow of death]].]]<br />
<br />
Chris has a lot of problems, and even the ones he "takes responsibility for" are still "out of his hands". His [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School|school]] was [[Kick the Autistic|mean to him]], he didn't deserve that [[Song of Christian|F in English]] or the one in [[CADD Chef|CADD]], ''and'' he doesn't deserve the 24/7 [[trolls|trolling]], among other things.<br />
<br />
And if that wasn't enough, he thinks every authority figure in the land is conspiring against his [[Love Quest]]:<br />
<br />
{{quote|Then in Mid-October, the Quote/Unquote "Dean of Student Services," Mary Lee Walsh, approached me and pulled my sign away from me and told me, "You're NOT ALLOWED TO FIND TRUE LOVE HERE." MY HEART WAS SHATTERED that very moment.|Chris, on his [[User:ChrisChanSonichu_profile#Enter_the_Wicked_Witch_of_the_Private_Villa_of_Corrupted_Citizens|Wikipedia userpage]]}}<br />
<br />
Compounding this was him also having to deal with a [[Family Guy|quagmire]] of a war against the [[homo]] rumors that those DAMNED TROLLS kept spreading about him, with a second front versus the [[Chris and copyright|copyright]]-violating [[Liquid Chris|thieves]].<br />
<br />
{{quote|It's out of my control! I don't know where to go! I DUNNO KNOW WHERE TA GO!|Chris, [[THAT IS MY HOUSE]].}}<br />
<br />
A great example of Chris's persecution complex is the [[Greene County Conspiracy]] video, where Chris blamed the Greene County's school board for pretty much every misfortune in life - from being banned from [[The GAMe PLACe]] to becoming the social outcast that we all know and tolerate - thereby cementing the notion that Chris will never take responsibility for his actions. One of the only times Chris ever actually stepped up and admitted responsibility was when he [[Stardate, August 27, 2010|accidentally erased]] his [[PS3]]'s data.<br />
<br />
===Naïveté===<br />
{{Main|Naïve}}<br />
<br />
Chris's simple-mindedness and gullibility are legendary. Like [[George W. Bush]], he only deals in absolutes: either you're with him or you're against him. This has been very obvious in his answers to the [[Mailbag]], where he refuses to listen to any talk — even from professionals — about the similarities between [[Asperger's syndrome]] and autism, denies that there are any shortcomings in his work, and shrugs off any advice about how to improve his health or appearance, labeling anyone who suggests he has any kind of shortcoming a troll.<br />
<br />
Chris equates honesty with [[Honest Content|divulging every last detail about his life]]. Nothing is too candid for Chris - getting haircuts, drinking his own [[semen]], [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|shitting his pants]], [[August 2016 Facebook posts#Incestuous Thoughts|having incestuous dreams]], or even giving away his phone number and home address. The only thing he ''hasn't'' done with wild abandon is give away his social security number, and when that happens, it won't be a surprise to anybody.<br />
<br />
His gullibility is astounding. No matter how many times it's happened before, Chris is easily led around by trolls promising [[china]], threatening his identity, and - most damaging of all - playing into his otherworldly delusions and fantasies. The earlier trolling schemes (such as [[Blanca]], [[PandaHalo]] and [[Jimmy Hill]]) got Chris to jump through hoops and exposed so much information about Chris and his personality that they had to start [[CWCki|this very wiki]] to keep track of it all. Another example of Chris's gullibility is one Miss [[Jackie|Jacklyn Romy]], a 'sweetheart' Chris met earlier in 2011. Despite her obviously being a troll (proven by a mysterious leak of videos that were sent only to Jackie on [[February 2012]]), and her having him produce [[Forgot the Glitter|many]] [[Cakefarts|embarrassing]] [[Who's Your Brony?|videos]], Chris would continually renew his relationship with her.<br />
<br />
In [[2009]] and [[2010]], Chris slowly began to "learn" to distrust trolls or to keep more of his [[PSN|information]] secure. However, many of his trolls believe this is akin to putting a shock collar on an [[Patti|animal]]. Eventually, to stop being shocked (not because they actually understand or care) an animal will start doing as it is told.<br />
<br />
Over the years, however, Chris's gullibility would come back in varying ways, reaching a boiling point in [[2017]] when the [[Idea Guys]] got a hold of him. As it turned out, the easiest way to exploit Chris's gullibility was to appeal to his habit of [[Chris and coping|escapism]], especially during the [[Financhu Crisis|general turmoil]] he faced around the time. The Idea Guys heavily exploited him by near-permanently altering his [[CWCville|fantasy world]] and state of mind, with their effects so harsh that even when their iron grip was let go the following year, Chris continues to believe [[List of beliefs brainwashed into Chris|the things they put into his head]]. Most infamously, he now believed he was a [[CPU Blue Heart|goddess]] - and later on, the outright reincarnation of [[Messiah complex|Jesus Christ]] - who would bring forth a [[dimensional merge]] on the world that, among other things, would take care of problems like his financial debt.<br />
<br />
===Hubris: the pride before the fall===<br />
[[File:Mother's day 2018 2.jpg|thumb|It's fair to say that Chris is a bit of a narcissist.]]<br />
{{quote|I'd say... I'd say I'm all around. You see, the problem is that I have too many skills that I am good at. You might say that I am a jack of all trades and a master of none.|Chris, [[Mumble 3|right about that last part]]}}<br />
<br />
Numerous times, Chris has shown that he believes he has powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal [[slow-in-the-minds|autistics]]. In fact, so much so that this attitude has transcended mere hubris, instead it more resembles mental illness: not only is Chris convinced that his [[Chris and writing|writing]], [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys|musical]] [[Guitar Hero|talents]], and [[She Came for CWC|art]] are without peer, he also believes he has supernatural powers along the lines of [[Chris and religion|Wicca or Voodoo]].<br />
<br />
And he doesn't just have the power to create: his is also the power to destroy. This line of thinking is exemplified by Chris's acceptance that [[Ryan Cash]] committed suicide just because he withheld ''Sonichu'' updates, and would worsen when he believed that his [[curse-ye-ha-me-ha|curse]] actually caused [[Liquid Chris]] and Mary Lee Walsh to have some sort of horror befall them.<br />
<br />
But those are just the most insane moments of cognitive dissonance. What about the time he went into hysterics when he didn't get recognition for his art at his high school graduation?<br />

<br />
[[Image:How chris sees himself.jpg|thumb|What Chris sees when he looks in the mirror.]]<br />
<br />
All of the above is consistent with the behavior of small children, who, isolated from the real world by a lack of comprehension and limited mobility, believe themselves to be godlike beings. This belief is gradually destroyed as the child goes to school and encounters outside authority, leading to their acknowledgment of the fact that they are, in fact, ordinary people. Of course, since Chris is not only autistic but also extremely sheltered, he still manages to cling to this belief by focusing on specific aspects of his life and constructing elaborate fantasy worlds. This is also probably why he sees mundane [[chores]] as [[Father Call|horrific trials of strength and will]]. In psychological terms, this can be referred to as ''psychological neoteny'', which is basically the retention of juvenile traits well into physical maturity.<br />
<br />
Also consistent with his childlike mindset is his apparent belief that he has supernatural powers. In Freudian terms, this is referred to as ''omnipotence of thought''. Basically, in the same way he does with religion, Chris cherry-picks elements of his life to validate his fantasy of control, which is more systematically displayed in the Sonichu comics. Taking this into consideration, it's likely that [[Magi-Chan]] is yet another Mary Sue for Chris, serving as a kind of avatar for his desire for ultimate authority. Why he felt it necessary to make [[Reginald Sneasel|yet]] another [[Sonichu (character)|character]] to fill this role is unclear, considering he's already established [[Chris-chan Sonichu|himself]] as the one true God of CWCville.<br />
<br />
Another aspect of Chris's arrogance, and again caused by his childish way of viewing [[Virginia|the world]], is visible in [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 9|a phone call]] with Alec Benson Leary, creator of [[Asperchu]]. In the call, it is obvious Chris does not follow a mature procedure for developing a stance on issues. Where normally an individual will learn information about the issue and from there decide how they feel about that issue, Chris does it the other way around and decides how he feels about something, then refuses to believe, understand, or even humor any evidence to the contrary. While most people have very strong beliefs in some issues, so much so that they automatically have a prejudice against people believing differently (e.g. [[Barack Obama|politics]], [[religion]], etc.), Chris has this perspective on everything. He takes a position on matters, then finds ways to back it up and ignores all evidence for the opposing viewpoint. This is called a ''{{w|confirmation bias}}''. For example, Chris has decided homos are bad, so he selectively finds [[Leviticus|information]] that backs up his stance on the matter and ignores anything anyone will tell him about why his homophobia is bad and makes him a bad person. He will then go as far as to pretend he can [[Sonichu_10#Curing_Da_Homos|cure homosexuality]] with his own blood. Unless disliking homosexuals means he [[I'm Sorry, Dude|may not get laid]].<br />
<br />
This is most apparent when he takes two contrary positions about a similar topic. The obvious example of this is Chris's understanding of the way [[parody]] functions. Chris will defend his right to make Sonichu to the hilt by claiming it is a parody, but he then states that Asperchu is a bad thing because it is "a parody of a parody". As you can see, Chris has decided that he has every right to make Sonichu so he backs this up with statements about his right to parody existing trademarked characters, but conversely he has decided Asperchu is bad, so he supports this position by stating it is a parody of his legitimate work.<br />
<br />
A literal example of the 'pride before the fall' would be Chris's series of [[Facebook]] posts between April and June of 2012. In [[April 2012]], Chris believed that he had utterly fooled the trolls when he made a [[Facebook#to_.40cogsdev_from_me.2C_.40CWCSonichu|series]] [[Facebook#Maniacal_Laughter_from_Who_now.3F_Oh.2C_wait.2C_It_Is_ME.21_.3E8D|of]] [[Facebook#Hey.2C_Trollies|posts]] mocking them. He even went so far as to post screenshots of the CWCki forum members talking about it. Note that in several of the screenshots, Chris believed that he had uncovered a scheme to start a poster campaign about him in [[Charlottesville]]. According to his [[Facebook#To_The_Trolls|Facebook post dated 4 June 2012,]] he had called the [[Jerkops|cops]], and basically admitted that he completely fell for it. He then recorded an [[Voicemail_greeting#4_June_2012|angry voicemail greeting]] before quickly deleting it. Compared to [[Voicemail_greeting#30_April_2012|an earlier voicemail he made]], one can clearly see how humbled he was.<br />
[[File:The Captain congratulates Chris for 'providing a good service'.png|thumb|right|In [[Sonichu Special 5]], Chris found a way to twist a situation in which he was [[Guard Dogs|being helped]] into Chris himself doing the helping, ending up with him receiving praise from [[The Captain|a fictionalised version of one of the people trying to help him out]].]]<br />
<br />
A more recent example of Chris's pride and ego superseding the efforts of people around him can be seen in [[Sonichu Special 5]], in which [[The Captain]] vociferously praises Chris, flanked by [[Sonichu (character)|his]] [[Rosechu (character)|creations]] - for 'provide[ing] a good service to us all in this world', when in reality, the opposite was true; Chris had been manipulated by the Idea Guys, and The Captain, a member of the [[Guard Dogs]], was the actual person providing said services in attempting to break Chris free of their influence.<br />
<br />
===Materialism===<br />
{{quote|I want Julie! Yeah, love is my first priority, but then- but then I want my stuff back!|Chris, caring more about his precious PSN Account and Sonichu website than his [[troll|sweetheart]].}}<br />
<br />
It is clear that Chris is a materialist (a common symptom of Narcissistic Personality Disorder), buying and hoarding large amounts of [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|crap]] that make him feel good about himself. He may even believe that his unhealthy amount of children's toys might attract a [[sweetheart]], when any human being would clearly see that this man is delusional. He also doesn't seem to have a problem with getting money for sitting on his ass, claiming he can get more from his tugboat than he could at an actual job. He has [[Chris and money|absolutely no concept of money]], and believes he is entitled to everything he can buy. This stems from childhood, when Barbara would take Chris to the toy store and encourage him to talk by giving him toys if he could read their names out loud.<ref>See [[1980s#1989|1989 in Christory]]</ref> Ever since, he's believed that just by being autistic, he deserves everything he can get his grubby hands on.<br />
<br />
This mixture of compulsive hoarding, compulsive shopping, and autism is bad news all the way. He's compulsively hoarded all of his toys and video games because he wants to give them to [[Crystal_Weston_Chandler_(daughter)|his daughter]] in the future. He also seems to enjoy collecting things, which may explain why Pokémon appeals to him. Chris compulsively bought everything he could on the PS3, and is more concerned with trophies than actual gameplay. Most of the games he's downloaded have never been played, but the important thing is that he ''has'' it. Hoarding items in cases other than OCD is a sign of [[Slow-in-the-minds|intellectual disability]] in older children. He may have inherited this behavior from his parents, especially Barb. Not even a [[2014 house fire|house fire that set most of his items ablaze]] or [[Jail Saga|getting exiled from said house]] can stop his hoarding habits.<br />
<br />
===Tender misanthropy===<br />
A "tender misanthrope" is, by definition, "someone who despises humanity in general, but is ever ready to make an exception for the ''real'' people". In other words, an egotist who pretends to be benevolent. While it's obvious that Chris is an egotist, he truly believes that he's benevolent. He is the perfect example of a tender misanthrope, screaming [[death threats]] at what he knows of humanity (seeing as the only social contact he gets is from the [[Internet]]) while also believing that he is a kind, loving person who can [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE|give advice]] and [[Pedofork|act as a role model for children]].<br />
<br />
Another part of the definition states that "a tender misanthrope feels certain of being able to love real people if only they could be found - or, failing that, to transform existing false people into idealized ''real'' people through social and political programs of the tender misanthrope's own making". The way that Chris treats [[homos]], seeing as he hates them all ([[Mailbag_53#Well,_that_makes_everything_better!|no matter what he says]]) and wants to turn them straight by placing them into co-ed prisons, reprogramming them into straights via concentration camps, or by creating a vaccine that "cures" homosexuality, certainly fits this description. The fact that he also generalizes trolls as homos also support this. If that does not convince you that Chris feels he can make people into what he can emotionally attach himself to, there are also other obvious examples in his unique delivery of his intentions.<br />
<br />
===Disregard of rules of conduct online===<br />
{{Main|Chris and the Internet}}<br />
{{quote|DO NOT DELETE, NOR CENSOR, MY BOMBASTIC PROTEST!!!!!!|Chris, in [[List of Chris's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica#4 September|Encyclopedia Dramatica]].}}<br />
<br />
Chris has little regard for the rules of online communities; when he joins up on websites, he tends to do things his way. He assumes that his own niche in these websites is under his absolute control: for example, he assumed that [[Wikipedia]] would allow him to post anything on his personal user page, or that Encyclopedia Dramatica would remove material critical to him if he just asked nicely. Sites like [[deviantART]] and [[YouTube]] allow community participation; Chris simply disallowed comments, or later on, just ignored every comment he received. Chris also assumes that when other people host websites for him (in case of [[CWCipedia]]), he's given the final say on all matters. His record for getting permabanned is currently at two weeks on [[Flipnote Hatena]] when he foolishly tried to re-upload Flipnotes that had been removed for breaking the rules (without bothering to find out why they had been removed in the first place). His Facebook account encountered a cycle in [[July 2015]] where it would be removed and put back up again; some of Chris's posts contained sexual content, such as photos of lizards mating, thumbnails of lesbian sex, screenshots of sexting, and a drawing in which he was drenched in lemonade through a [[china]]-shaped lemon - which he even ''bragged'' about how his [[Trolls|haters]] would be offended by it.<br />
<br />
If Chris is banned from a website, he will often simply make a new account to circumvent it - even if this violates the website's rules, which is another thing he refuses to accept. Similarly, if he is blocked by somebody he wants to talk to, he might even construct [[Night Star|a fake account under the guise of one of his OCs]] to bypass the block.<br />
<br />
===Surrendering Information===<br />
{{Main|Honest Content}}<br />
<br />
If there is one thing that Chris's ego would simply not allow, it's suppressing himself from giving away too much information about himself. If he feels that bragging about something would give him a one-up against the trolls or make himself look good, he'll freely announce it for everyone to hear. The most glaring example of this is this entire wiki, which was created using a lot of information provided by Chris himself. Back in the day, Chris viewed himself as an extremely popular internet celebrity with a 'true and loyal fanbase', and, as such, would divulge a lot of information about himself so people would know him better (inclusive of [[Dox|personal information]] that nobody in their right mind would give away). However, there are times when he would do the opposite and [[Honest Content|surrender information that would make him look horrendously bad]], sometimes without provocation. His enthusiastic revelation of his own [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|fecal incontinence]] is the shining example of this.<br />
<br />
Whilst this practice has diminished in recent times, with Chris making himself scarce out of fear that trolls would have more [[Tomgirl Pictures|ammo]] to use against him, his habit of needlessly surrendering information still manages to surface. For example, when he claimed to [[Mia Hamm|lose his virginity]], he couldn't help but announce it on his Facebook page, all the while swearing up and down that he would never divulge any details about it to the trolls. Mere weeks later, more details emerged on Facebook, leading to speculation that he actually bought a hooker (since we all know the [[Megan|inevitable]] [[Kacey|end]] result of his Sweetheart Search), which he ended up confirming on 1 May, (along with attending a ''MythBusters'' tour, something which wasn't even brought up but still revealed anyway) all the while claiming to remain button-lipped on the matter. Only time would tell if and when Chris finally reveals everything to silence his naysayers. After all, it wouldn't be the first time it's happened. Sure enough, in December 2014, a leaked account of Chris's experience with the hooker was released on the [[Kiwi Farms]]. He just never learns.<br />
<br />
In 2013, Chris's habit of needlessly surrendering information returned with a vengeance. Chris threw a temper tantrum on Facebook, and many would have assumed that it was [[Chris and Anger|business as usual]], ''until'' Chris made the fatal mistake of revealing the reason why he went on the warpath; somebody had uploaded his status updates (complete with the ones that were hidden) onto [http://imgur.com/a/1HYJJ an Imgur account.] Aside from the usual whining about how lonely he was, these screencaps not only revealed what he was up to in the silence between 2011 and 2013, but also uncovered a very ugly side of Chris. One post, in particular, revealed that he was angry at the fact that [[Mimms]] had a girlfriend, and demanded that somebody should ''kill her'', simply because Mimms was a "JERK." The fact remains that the one who revealed all of this unsavory information was not the trolls, as Chris would try to have you believe, but ''himself.''<br />
<br />
The next year, Chris encountered a man trying to put out a brush fire near his house. However, he believed he was trying to make it even worse, and thus uploaded the [[Brushfire Video]], wherein he wound up dropping the address of the [[Rental House]] in the video title.<br />
<br />
In 2021, this would eventually prove to be Chris's ultimate downfall. In late [[July 2021]], Chris told [[Bella]] that he had [[Affair with Mother|sexual intercourse with Barbara Chandler, his own ''mother'']], even going so far as to describe the acts in [[Honest Content|uncomfortably graphic detail]]. One would think that Chris, [[Chris and reality|being in the highly delusional state that he was in at the time]], could have easily been dismissed here, ''until'' he confirmed that it was all true when pressed for the truth by [[Dillin Thomas]]. As a consequence, many horrified listeners immediately contacted law enforcement, as incest is a Class 5 Felony in Virginia. Even more consequences would follow: Chris was removed from his home via an [[Emergency Protective Order]] and became the center of a humongous media circus that even had [[Ween|weens]] tracking him down in real-life, resulting in his eventual arrest on stream on the 1 August 2021.<br />
<br />
===Fishing for sympathy===<br />
{{quote|I... am so... smart! And yet I still have to- still learn everyth- I still n- have so much to learn.<ref>[[CLog 08142017 - More Positive Content]]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
In many conversations with Chris, there have been quite a few instances where he would outright fish for sympathy, in the hopes that people would take pity on him and, in so doing, make him feel better about himself. One such example is the [[Father Call]], where Chris constantly talks about the "trials and tribulations" in his life to an unimpressed [[Matthew Devoria]], from whom he was trying to seek approval to date his daughter; said "trials and tribulations" amounted to housework and being teased on the internet, which Chris felt was on par with Matthew carrying his dead friend's body during the war. In his [[Jackie_E-mails_23|later E-mail exchanges]] with Jackie, Chris is quick to paint himself as a misunderstood victim whenever Jackie rips him a new one over issues such as his habit of [[Lie|lying]], being a hypocrite and even being [[Women%27s_rights|inconsiderate towards her]]. Even in recent times, he has not cut out this habit, with his Facebook and Twitter entries blaming his trolls for making his life a living hell, one in particular lamenting that nobody cares about him except for his own mother.<br />
<br />
The attention he gets from his mother, Barbara Chandler (and his friend, Anna McLerran) is textbook mollycoddling at best. Chris has spent his entire life being catered to by his parents (notably well past the point of social acceptance), to the point where he depends on them to bail him out of the [[Money#Credit_cards|numerous]] [[The_Game_Place|messes]] he gets himself into. It comes as no surprise, then, that this, combined with his [[autism|being autistic]], has poisoned Chris's mind into thinking that this is how everybody should treat him, by default. And if people don't see things his way, he'll be more than happy to point out the heavy burdens he faces daily, almost as if he expects them to instantly take back their mean, mean words and feel sorry for him.<br />
<br />
The habit of wanting sympathy is so ingrained in Chris that he instinctively hedges when he makes a positive statement about himself. An example is from a video in which he said, "I am so smart," and immediately followed by downplaying it and saying he still had much to learn.<br />
<br />
==War against the ego==<br />
One of the main forces opposing Chris's ego are the [[White-Knighting|white knights]]. These misguided souls have attempted to get Chris to understand that what he's doing is ridiculous and that he needs to grow up. Instead, he brushed them all aside, assuring himself that he was TRUE and HONEST, and could do no wrong. One of the more popular white knights, [[Vivian Gee]], [[Vivitheg's AIM chat|became a troll]] when she couldn't get through to Chris.<br />
<br />
When asked to get [[Chris and psychology|real, psychiatric help]], Chris has said that his church counselor, [[Rocky Shoemaker]], is enough for him, and that she could do so much more than someone with ''an actual degree in that field.'' He seems to believe that because her title includes the word "counselor," she is every bit as qualified as a real doctor (the fact that most pastoral counselors see people for free probably helps as well, since Chris would never spend part of his precious monthly tugboat on something useful when there are video games to buy).<br />
<br />
There were even some instances where it seemed that the trolls had made a breakthrough by [[Heart level|breaking Chris]], only for him to get right back up again and continue with his antics. An example of this would be Kacey, who led Chris on for a while until she dropped the bombshell that she was going to marry Liquid Chris, but not before having her father point out every single thing that is wrong with Chris. A normal person would have been utterly devastated by this turn of events, and some would even use the experience to better themselves. Chris, on the other hand, perked right up when he [[Red_Letter_CWC_Certified_Day|obtained a letter 'validating' Sonichu]], forgetting about Kacey in mere days, just like she had predicted.<br />

The '''Idea Guys''' were a group of trolls who exploited [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]'s escapist fantasies by role-playing as his [[imaginary friends]]. They used this influence to [[List of beliefs brainwashed into Chris|brainwash]] him, and allegedly they also blackmailed Chris out of $6,000 by threatening to destroy his imaginary city [[CWCville]]. The group began with '''Joshua Allen Wise''' (also known as The '''Idea Guy''', or more commonly '''IdeaGuy''' by Chris) in [[October 2017]], and at some point, '''Stephen Boyd''' and at least three other confirmed anonymous followers (a gay Chinese man, a Canadian and a fifth member who goes under the moniker of "Gruppenfuhrer Fegelein") partnered with him until the group was ousted in [[April 2018]].<br />
<br />
Initially their aim was to see how [[Naïve|gullible]] Chris was, but this soon fell into them taking advantage of him financially and coercing him into performing many degrading acts, some of which would put [[BlueSpike]] to shame. In the process they managed to somehow make Chris become [[Chris and reality|even more delusional]] than he already was, all the while planting some of their own twisted ideas into Chris's mind.<br />
<br />
This abuse prompted the creation of a group composed of [[The Captain]], [[Marvin]] and later [[Null]], dubbed the [[Guard Dogs]]. Their goal was to work together to dismantle the Idea Guys' schemes and push for legal action to be taken against them. Thanks to their efforts, the Idea Guys' link to Chris was cut by late [[April 2018]]. Authorities never looked into the matter.<br />
<br />
Despite their removal, the Idea Guys' iron grip over Chris has had lasting effects. To this day, Chris has retained many of the concepts they had coerced him into believing. Concepts such as changes to ''Sonichu'' canon, a [[polyamorous marriage]], and the now infamous [[Dimensional Merge]] were introduced to Chris by the group. After their reign, waves of fantasy [[enablers]] began appearing, copying their tactics to get an audience with Chris, with many seeing success. The Idea Guys have effectively had the greatest impact on Chris's psyche and personal life out of any trolls since the days of [[The Miscreants]], and are debatably the most successful trolls in that regard.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Chris's fantasy world had been ripe for exploitation in the lead-up to the Idea Guys' interactions with him. Years before, the [[Asperpedia Four]] manipulated Chris into killing off [[Simonla Rosechu]] in the comics. The [[Miscreants]] had also told Chris to name a character [[Vulva Pie]] - when he found out what the word meant, he was upset that he had been tricked but felt obligated to maintain Vulva Pie's name in canon. Furthermore, Chris's reliance on his fantasy world as a [[Chris and coping|coping]] mechanism for his real-world life had become heavier, made evident when he believed he was [[dancing with Magi-Chan]], one of his [[imaginary friends]], during the 2017 [[BronyCon]]. This had only occurred one month prior to Joshua Wise beginning contact with him.<br />
<br />
Outside of Chris's fantasies becoming increasingly potent, Chris's real life was becoming a lot more volatile. The [[Financhu Crisis]] continued to go on, with Chris taking up working on [[Sonichu (comic)|the ''Sonichu'' comic]] more often to gain additional funding through [[Patreon]]. Chris's emotional state could also have been compromised from other life events such as his breakup with [[Jessica Quinn]], as she had been in contact with Chris for a long time and had him believing they would meet up in real life (although Chris appeared largely back to normal in the weeks between the Quinn breakup and the beginning of Wise's manipulations, having resumed the comic, posting on Twitter and being interviewed).<br />
<br />
In September 2017, Joshua Wise contacted Chris to commission artwork.<ref name=tcce></ref> With the two in contact, Wise decided to see for himself Chris's gullibility.<ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Red Forest clip]]</ref> In late [[October 2017]], he again contacted Chris, posing as '''John Yamada'''. As "Yamada", Wise claimed to be a soldier from Gamindustri - a location set in the franchise ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'' - and inquired if Chris still had his old Sega Dreamcast console, telling him it contained a possible portal into [[CWCville]].<ref name=comicyamada>[[:File:Sonichu 16 page-3.JPG]]</ref><ref name=gullibility>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Gullibility]]</ref> Wise used the lore from ''Neptunia'' to play into Chris's existing preconceptions about [[Chris and reality|reality]] and [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 2|his belief that fictional worlds exist in alternate dimensions]], giving him validation over those beliefs, which primed Chris for falling under Wise's spell and eventually encouraged him to retreat further into his fantasy world to cope with his real world problems.<br />

===Role-playing===<br />

{{quote|the way I get him to do all this is by simply roleplaying.

<br />
[[File:IdeaGuyCwc News Media2.PNG|thumb|A sample of the photoshopped images Wise created to convince Chris.]]<br />
<br />
The key component of Wise's schemes was role-playing as various entities, including Chris's own [[imaginary friends]] and goddesses from ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]''. By December 2017, Wise was role-playing as at least 13 different characters to Chris, including his persona John Yamada and numerous ''Neptunia'' characters.<ref name=religionswitch>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Chris abandons Christianity for Neptunia]]</ref> Chris was so entranced under Wise's tactics that he believed it when Wise role-played as the Chris of [[CWCville]] and told him he had converted to Satanism.<ref name=pretend>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Pretending to be Chris to Chris, religion in CWCville]]</ref> Chris believed the entities were borrowing John Yamada's computer to communicate with him across dimensions.<ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Rosechu is trans]]</ref><br />
<br />
To accompany the role-playing, Wise also crafted storylines, heavily inspired from video games, designed to infiltrate Chris's beliefs, such as ''Payday 2'' antagonist [[Akan]] attacking CWCville and kidnapping Chris's imaginary friend [[Silvana]],<ref>[[November 2017 Facebook posts#Silvana is captured]]</ref> and CWCville being occupied by [[Russia]]ns and [[Nazis]]. Wise also utilized doctored audio clips, such as [[Red Forest]], and photoshopped images, which "John Yamada" presented to Chris as documents from CWCville and Gamindustri. <br />

<br />
In the wake of the January 2018 attempt by [[Kiwi Farms]] to remove him from power by doxing him, Wise identified as Idea Guy directly to Chris<ref>Comment from [[The Captain]]: "This is the same shit Wise was pulling the second time around.. Name dropping himself as Idea Guy to Chris." https://kiwifarms.net/threads/10-4-chris-says-magi-chan-wrote-hawaii-trip-tweet-for-monetary-gain.48498/</ref> and made a new persona, "Johnson Wiles", setting it as the [[OC]] counterpart of his real-world self.<ref>[[Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder#TSSSF IdeaGuy Corruptions Expansion Pack]]</ref><br />
<br />
Boyd also used Wise's role-playing tactics. The known characters he role-played as are his persona Gwen Mikoto<ref name=tcce></ref> and religious figure Jesus Christ.<ref>[[Cryzel Torture]]</ref><br />

<br />
[[File:Text with John Yamada.png|thumb|100px|Chris took diligent notes on Wise's lore.]]<br />
<br />
After convincing Chris of his persona John Yamada's ability to access [[CWCville]]'s dimension, Idea Guy Wise began to manipulate Chris's beliefs and insert his own ideas. He also undermined Chris's attempts to restore his fantasy world; as Wise put it: "Chris thinks he has a psychic link to Cwcville, but every time he tries to change a scenario to his will, I always say it fucks up and makes things worse."<ref name=jamstajail></ref><br />
<br />
[[File:CWCville jamsta riots.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Wise tricked Chris into believing this image depicts protesters in CWCville rioting upon [[Jamsta]]'s acquittal for molestation.<ref name=jamstajail>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Chris tries to keep Jamsta out of jail]]</ref> Photo is actually an image from the 1992 Los Angeles riots.]]<br />
<br />
For example, in December 2017, Wise told Chris that [[Jamsta]] had been arrested for molesting [[Punchy]] and Tails. Chris, not liking this development, tried to have Jamsta acquitted. He tried using his psychic link to CWCville to convince the judge to acquit Jamsta, but Wise countered by telling Chris that the judge didn't believe him since he had stepped down as mayor. Chris then tried to influence the jury, but Wise again countered by telling him that while it worked and Jamsta was acquitted, as consequence, a mob was out to get Jamsta, sending a photo of rioting as proof.<ref name=pretend></ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Satanic angelica.jpg|thumb|150px|Chris illustrated [[Angelica]] as a Satanist for ''[[Sonichu 13]]'', following lore from Wise.]]<br />
In another example, Wise role-played as the Chris of CWCville and claimed to be a Satanist, and that Atheism, ''Neptunia'', and Islam were the main beliefs of CWCville, as Christianity had been forgotten after he had stepped down as mayor. The real-world Chris reacted to this information by saying [[Angelica]] would enforce Christianity again, and Wise countered by telling him Angelica became a Satanist and more people were converting to Islam.<ref name=pretend></ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Sonichu 16 page-4.JPG|thumb|150px|left|Chris drew what he believed occurred with the Sega Dreamcast after Wise's suggestion influenced his own imagination.]]<br />
Chris was also so suggestible under Wise's influence that at times Wise would float an idea and Chris's imagination would run wild with the concept. When Wise's John Yamada persona first contacted Chris, he used lore from the ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'' video game franchise to say that Chris's Sega Dreamcast console possibly contained a portal into CWCville. Chris decided to run the console for 24 hours, place his hand on it, felt a shock, and imagined that it meant the ''Neptunia'' goddess within it was possessing him.<ref>[[November 2017 Facebook posts#Sharing my body with a video game character]]</ref><ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Steam, Kiwi Farms and the Dreamcast shock|Wise denies that the Sega shock was his doing and says it was Chris's own stupidity.]]</ref> Furthermore, after having been in contact with Wise's ''Neptunia'' CPU goddess personas, Chris decided to abandon the Christian religion in favor of ''Neptunia'', and one reason he cited was that he could "actually communicate" with the ''Neptunia'' goddesses.<ref name=religionswitch></ref> Eventually, after the Idea Guys were ousted, the influence resulted in Chris identifying as a goddess, [[CPU Blue Heart]].<br />
<br />
[[File:CWC gets kicked.jpg|thumb|200px|Modern CWCville Chris attacking past CWCville Chris after suggestions Wise planted in real-world Chris's mind.]]<br />
<br />
Chris's perception of his imaginary counterpart was influenced by Wise's ideas to a point the latter expressed surprise. Following a comment from Wise's Yamada persona on Nazis and Satanic powers, Chris believed his past CWCville counterpart had been kidnapped by Nazis and given Satanic powers.<ref name=suggestible>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Suggestible Chris]]</ref> Wise, pushing further, told the real-world Chris his past counterpart had abolished [[women's rights]] to enable his [[Love Quest]] and that he had helped the Nazis win World War II. Chris then illustrated his modern CWCville counterpart confronting and assaulting his past CWCville counterpart over his actions.<ref name=fuckingsonichu>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Trolling Jessica Quinn, drawing of Chris fucking Sonichu]]</ref><br />
<br />
{{quote|In truth, I made a joke about the Nazis and Satanic powers, not realizing just how much he'd take it in.|Wise.<ref name=suggestible></ref>}}<br />
<br />
In another example, after discussing his [[medallion]] with John Yamada, who told him it was crafted out of Element 115 (as a reference to the ''Call of Duty'' video games<ref name=cwcvillenazis></ref>), Chris believed that Yamada had created a new medallion for him and that it would arrive in the mail and unlock his magical powers. This emboldened Chris to begin making plans to travel to meet the creator of [[Rosechu's Story]] and to confront [[Cole Smithey]] in New York, despite not knowing where either lived, believing he would magically learn their addresses. Wise became concerned and convinced Chris not to go on the trips.<ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Chris wants to visit Cole and Trickie]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Influences to Chris's fantasy land/sense of reality===<br />
{{main|List of beliefs brainwashed into Chris}}<br />
<br />
The Idea Guys influenced and brainwashed into Chris [[:Category:Concepts influenced by Idea Guy|many alterations to his fantasy world]] including his [[imaginary friends]] and his imaginary city [[CWCville]]. These include [[Wild Sonichu]] becoming a drug addict, the creation of [[Bundychu]] (who befriends the spirit of Chris's late father), [[Brendan Fraser]] being elected the mayor of CWCville, and several other concepts.<br />
<br />
[[File:Sonichu 15 revision tail.png|thumb|left|Chris digitally and physically revised bits from the Sonichu comic to match up with the new Idea Guys lore. In this example, he altered a page from [[Sonichu 15]] to match Wise's assertion that [[Rosechu]] had been born as a male, indicated with a pointy tail (left: original image; right: a slip of paper glued over the original page.)]]<br />
<br />
They also pushed his fantasy escapism further away from reality. Chris, who had been believing he could interact with imaginary friends prior to the Idea Guys, such as when he [[Dancing with Magi-Chan|danced with Magi-Chan in public]], had his beliefs validated and encouraged by the Idea Guys.<br />
<br />
In [[December 2017]], Wise told Chris that ''Hyperdimension Neptunia'' goddess Neptune would be waiting to meet him at a GameStop; Chris decided to go to the Forest Lakes location (from which he [[List of places that have banned Chris|had been banned]]) and waited outside in [[Son-Chu|his car]], honking his horn and shouting her name, and then peered inside the store and scanned the interior looking for her.<ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Chris went to a GameStop to meet a Neptunia goddess]]</ref><br />
<br />
In [[January 2018]], Chris believed that imaginary friends [[Magi-Chan]] and his father figure and mentor, [[Mewtwo]], had gotten married in a "loving [[Chris and English|triage]]" with [[Silvana]].<ref name=gaymarriage>[[January 2018 Facebook posts#Mewtwo and Magi-Chan married]]</ref> Two months later, the Idea Guys pushed further and got Chris to believe he married Magi-Chan and became a part of the [[polyamorous marriage]]. Additionally, they brainwashed Chris into believing this made him [[bisexual]].<br />
<br />
The Idea Guys also used their influence to trick Chris into exercising. Around March 2018, Chris began to exercise as they told him he needed to be in shape while in [[CWCville]],<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-bad-beginning.45651/post-3576763</ref> working out with dumbbells as seen in [[One-Hundred!]] and joining the gym [[Anytime Fitness]]. His exercise habits continued sporadically for a time after the Idea Guys were ousted, though his interest in it faded away eventually.<ref>[[Treadmill]]</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:69 Sonichus.jpg|thumb|200px|[[The 69 Destined Sonichus and Rosechus]], a list the Idea Guys planted into Chris's mind.]]<br />
The Idea Guys also left a heavy influence on the ''Sonichu'' comic and its canon - and by extension, Chris's imaginary friends. Many details were revised by Chris following the lore they laid out, such as Sonichu's birthdate (switched to 4/20, both a reference to Adolf Hitler's birthdate and to marijuana), the date of the [[rainbow]] which created Sonichu (changed to 1 February 2003, a reference to the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster), and [[Magi-Chan]]'s age (changed to 69 years old, a sexual reference).<br />
<br />
They also affected plot points and the direction of the comic from ''[[Sonichu 12-9|Sonichu #12-9]]'' onwards. This can be seen in ''Sonichu #12-9'' (which Chris worked on before, during, and after the Idea Guys were in power) - its plot veers sharply from Chris's interests, to the Idea Guys', then back again to Chris's. The following issue, ''[[Sonichu 13|Sonichu #13]]'' (or ''The Awakening of a CPU'', as titled by Chris), represents the Idea Guys' influence over him in comic form. It features a story on how Wise's John Yamada persona came to influence Chris over the idea of his Sega Dreamcast containing a portal to [[CWCville]]. In a page-and-a-half wall of text, Chris summarizes his adventures with Yamada and the ''Hyperdimension Neptunia'' cast, and the salvation of Gamindustri and CWCville from the invaders. The rest of ''Sonichu 13'' covers an incoherent series of plot threads over the topics the Idea Guys had brainwashed into Chris.<br />
<br />
The [[Dimensional Merge]], a key influence to Chris's escapist habits, is thought to originate from the Idea Guys, though no chatlogs pertaining to it were publicly released, and the first public mention to it by Chris occurred months after their ousting. A small clue is in the Merge's start date being 18 November 2018<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1064201575994982400</ref> - the 40th anniversary of the {{w|Jonestown}} Mass Suicide - which aligns with the Idea Guys inserting dates of infamous historical events into ''Sonichu'' canon. According to [[Guard Dog]] Marvin, the Merge is an Idea Guy concept:<br />
<br />
{{quoteboxgreen|It was an idea that the Idea Guy invented, but Chris didn't really pay enough attention to it as a concept until around when the [[Teen Troon Squad|teen troon squad]] showed up.<br />
<br />
Now it might've just been a coincidence, but it was around that time, Chris started seriously looking into the merge as a solution to his problems.}}<br />
<br />
==Early trolling==<br />
Midway through November 2017, Chris's content began to include references designed to go over his head. On 14 November, he wrote that imaginary friend [[Silvana]] had been captured by [[Akan|a Russian billionaire]], and posted a photo of the soldier who would be rescuing her. This was recognized by spectators as a reference to the politically incorrect "Remove Kebab" internet meme. The soldier was to be part of [[Operation BARBarossa]], which consisted of historical references to World War II. That same day, in what Wise termed "the first true exercise of trust",<ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Influencing Sonichu 12-9]]</ref> Chris recorded [[Freestyle Dance With Me, For Our World!]] while wearing a tinfoil hat to prevent "the man" from reading his mind. On 11 December, Chris performed a supposed "[[Cherokean Chant]]", which in fact involved mimicking the "squatting Slav" meme and reciting Internet meme quotes from the [[wikipedia: S.T.A.L.K.E.R|''S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'']] video game series, all while [[Alcohol|drunk on half a fifth of vodka]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Drawing with Japanese text (closeup of signature).png|thumb|200px|right|Chris was tricked into believing the Japanese text translated to his signature, however, it translates to "I am carrying a penis."]]<br />
Chris was also tricked into writing [[Bob Walks In Aftermath|edgy jokes in foreign languages]]. In November 2017, Chris posted artwork featuring [[Sailor Moon]] characters conversing with his CWCville counterpart; he was actually tricked into writing "I am carrying a penis", among other things, in Japanese.<ref>[[November 2017 Patreon posts#Chris writes about dicks, thinks it's his signature]]</ref> The drawing may have been the earliest instance of Wise's trickery, as it was dated 18 October 2017, falling in between Wise's initial contact and the debut of his John Yamada persona. In December, more art was posted,<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#"Translated" Sailor Moon drawings]]</ref> this one featuring the [[Wikipedia:Meine Ehre heißt Treue|SS motto]] as well as German lines from the video games [[wikipedia: Brothers in Arms (video game series)|''Brothers in Arms'']] and [[wikipedia: Wolfenstein: The New Order|''Wolfenstein: The New Order'']]. Chris also tried to write the "signature" line again, although he accidentally wrote it with a typo. The German translations in particular put Chris's [[naïve|naïveté]] on full display, with some of the German dialogue featuring words such as "Zebra", "Evolution" and "Universum", which are similar or identical to English counterparts that are obviously absent in the supposed translations. A January 2018 post congratulating [[Magi-Chan]] and [[Mewtwo]] on tying the knot also contained Swedish text giving a shout-out to [[Kiwi Farms]].<ref name=gaymarriage></ref><br />
<br />
==Escalation==<br />
[[File:Smashing (720p 30fps H264-192kbit AAC).mp400002.png|thumb|150px|A still from [[Smashing]] showing the destroyed [[Christine Doll]].]]<br />
<br />
The manipulation of Chris over his fantasy world gradually escalated. In [[January 2018]], Wise role-played as [[Nazis]] and led Chris to believe they had bugged his [[Christine Doll]]. Chris retaliated by destroying it in [[Smashing]]. Days later, Chris also destroyed his miniature Christmas tree in [[Get Out, You D*** Nazis]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Cryzel Torture chatlog excerpt.png|thumb|left|200px|Wise and Boyd team up to manipulate Chris during [[Cryzel Torture]].]]<br />
<br />
By [[April 2018]], the Idea Guys had a sadistic hold over Chris's beliefs. In [[Cryzel Torture]], one of the leaked chatlogs from late that month, Wise role-played as [[wikipedia: Sword Art Online|''Sword Art Online'']] character Pitohui and graphically described torturing Chris's imaginary wife, [[Cryzel]], for several hours, with Boyd providing backup.<br />
<br />
According to [[The Captain]], at some point, Boyd told Chris to punch his mother. The Captain stated that, "There is no video or photographic evidence of Chris punching his mother. In a private chat with Wise, Chris claims that he punched his mother at Boyd's insistence for failing a quiz or some shit like that. Chris states to Wise that Boyd told him to "Punch your mother" and Chris claims to Wise that he did it."<ref>{{cite farms|thread=41369|post=3563096}}</ref><br />
<br />
Wise often forced Chris to have phone sex with him, though there is no known recording of these calls.<ref>[[Kiwi_Farms_posts_(The_Captain)#Phone_Sex]]</ref><br />

==Blackmail and extortion allegations==<br />
{{see also|2018 Sales Listings}}<br />
<br />
{{quote|So naturally once they have Chris believing [they can destroy CWCville], they have Chris confessing to being a pedophile and raping his mother. Once they have those confessions, they threaten to release it to the public if he doesn't record himself shitting on the floor and punching himself in the face until tears and snot are running down his chin. At one point, they ask Chris to punch his mother, which he does (though he claims lightly).|Guard Dog Null describing the Idea Guys' sadistic exploitation of Chris.<ref name=tcce>[[The Chris-Chan Extortionists]]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Discord3.jpg|thumb|200px|The fictional superweapon Kadingir, as depicted in anime series ''Symphogear''. The Idea Guys used this image to con Chris into believing they had the capability to destroy the moon and CWCville.<ref name=bad>[[The Bad Beginning]]</ref>]]<br />
<br />
The [[Guard Dogs]] alleged that the Idea Guys managed to extort $6,000 worth of gift cards, video games, and other accessories from Chris by threatening to destroy his imaginary city [[CWCville]]. The Idea Guys had also falsely claimed to Chris that they had evidence of him being a [[pedofork|pedofile]]; at one point, Boyd demanded $500 - ostensibly for him to abandon one of Wise's characters - and followed up by pressuring Chris by saying that he was the reason Chris's dimension hadn't vanished and that Chris wasn't sitting in jail.<ref name=bad></ref> Guard Dog [[The Captain]] also stated that the Idea Guys had "forced Chris to record a series of videos to his Google Drive [...] in order to use them as leverage against him in the future," which included content such as [[Tour of Chris's House III]], [[Chris slaps himself]], and an unreleased two-hour video of Chris reacting to "grotesque pornography".<ref name=tcce></ref><br />
<br />
The Idea Guys, while role-playing as fictional characters, had convinced Chris they had the means to destroy CWCville. Wise, posing as anime series ''Symophogear'' villain Finé - whose backstory involves being the creator of a particle-ion cannon titled Kadingir with the capability to destroy the moon<ref>https://symphogear.fandom.com/wiki/Kadingir</ref> - claimed that the destroyed moon chunks would then fall onto CWCville. Idea Guy Boyd, posing as Gwen Mikoto, affirmed Wise's claims and also threatened to erase the dimension in which CWCville resides by nuking it.<ref name=bad></ref><br />
<br />
When the Guard Dogs rescued Chris from the Idea Guys' influence, they told him the moon destroying weapon did not exist and Chris became "extremely angry" at the revelation.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-chris-chan-extortionists.45366/post-3550216</ref><br />
<br />
The Idea Guys had [[brainwashed]] Chris into believing himself a pedophile by telling him that the [[BlueSpike]] cyber sex logs and having had crushes on high school classmates during high school counted as pedophilia. After being freed from their influence, Chris no longer believed it.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-bad-beginning.45651/post-3577677</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Moon threat excerpts The Bad Beginning chatlog.png|thumb|left|200px|Excerpts from [[The Bad Beginning]] chatlog in which the Idea Guys use the threat of moon chunks leveling CWCville to pressure Chris.]]<br />
<br />
To pay off the Idea Guys, Chris raised money from [[eBay]] sales of his toys and pieces of the Chandler hoard. Guard Dog [[The Captain]] stated that the Idea Guys "were telling him what to sell/urging him to dig through more boxes, etc. in an effort to find things to hawk on eBay to make money for them."<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/financhu-crisis-chris-sells-his-stuff-megathread.41369/post-3675397</ref> In addition, $1,200 gifted to him from [[Jack Jankowski]], meant to go towards attending [[BronyCon 2018]], was sent to the Idea Guys. Though this were not enough to satisfy their demands, as in April 2018, Chris withheld a [[14 Branchland Court#Mortgage|mortgage payment]], putting the Chandlers at severe risk of losing their home.<ref>[[WE NEED MONEY FOR MORTGAGE NOW, PLEASE]]</ref><br />
<br />
On 24 April 2018, with Chris in dire financial straits, the Idea Guys influenced him into posting a tweet offering to [[Chris and sex#Prostitution|prostitute]] himself.<ref>[[April 2018 social media posts#Will provide house tour and suck dicks for money]].</ref> He stated his price to be $50 for blowjobs and $100 for butt sex.<ref>[[:File:NAME YOUR PRICE!!.jpeg]]</ref> Days later, the Idea Guys were removed from power by the [[Guard Dogs]], and the situation did not escalate further. In May, Chris disavowed the prostitution messages and stated that he had been coerced into making them.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20191107173201/https://twitter.com/cwcsonichu/status/993693423084318720</ref><br />
<br />
Chris kept each of the invoices and receipts from the transactions he made for the Idea Guys. The Guard Dogs received screencaps and photos of the receipts, hoping to use the items as evidence in an official investiation; when that fell through, Guard Dog Null posted them publicly to the Kiwi Farms forum.<ref name=tcce></ref><br />

==Removal from power==<br />
===January 2018===<br />
An early attempt to stop Wise's influence over Chris was made in January 2018. At the time, there had been no indication of the extortion or sadistic manipulation over Chris that was to come; the intervention was made, according to a Kiwi Farms moderator, because the output of his early manipulation was "total trash."<ref name=sneasel>[[:File:Yawning Sneasel comment on first Idea Guy dox.png]]</ref><br />
<br />
{{quote|We have seen all we needed to see and nothing more would be gained from seeing more [[Cherokean Chant|squatting, tracksuits]] and the introduction of Pepechu.|Yawning Sneasel, one of the Kiwi Farms moderators involved with the first doxing.}}<br />
<br />
On 22 January 2018, Wise was doxed on Kiwi Farms<ref name=22jandox>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/idea-guy-joshua-wise-manipulating-the-intellecutally-disabled-for-fun-megathread.37132/post-2984638 (Archive https://archive.fo/fmLt3)</ref> and the [[dox]] of his family members was included as a deterrent.<ref name=sneasel></ref> However, Wise persisted in contact with Chris - one of Chris's drawings of Wise's character [[Kun T'Nyuget]] was made the next day,<ref>[[:File:Also, Introducing Kun T’Nyuget.png]]</ref> implying Wise did not cut communications with Chris.<br />
<br />
Chris's social media output over the next few months gradually indicated that he was under manipulation. The public, uncertain over whether it was Wise again, referred to the resurgence as "Idea Guy 2.0", and it was later alleged by the Guard Dogs that Wise was part of it.<br />
<br />

[[File:The Captain Amnyfest Ring photoshop (compressed from original).jpg|thumb|200px|[[The Captain]]'s photoshopped image of Chris's [[Amnyfest Ring]], used to convince Chris to trust him instead of the Idea Guys.]]<br />
<br />
In April 2018, [[The Captain]] was informed by people close to Chris that they suspected he was being manipulated and extorted - one was [[Anna McLerran]], who found out that Chris was buying gift cards and asked The Captain if he could intervene.<ref name=captainessay>[[On The Captain]]</ref> In that same month, the Idea Guys forced Chris to sell his [[Amnyfest Ring]] on [[eBay]] - the buyer was The Captain. Borrowing from the Idea Guys' tactics, The Captain used the ring as a tool to gain Chris's trust by playing into his fantasies, role-playing about [[Magi-Chan]]<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (The Captain)#6K Dollars]]</ref><ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (The Captain)#Dropping the act]]</ref><ref>Chris's perspective from [[Sonichu 13]]'s epilogue</ref> and telling him the ring was sending him messages that the [[CPUs]] (personas used by the Idea Guys) were hacked and not to be trusted.<br />
<br />
{{quote|I simply told him that the ring was sending me morse code messages and that the [Idea Guys] were lying to him. So I did a five minute photoshop of the ring glowing and sent it to Chris as well as a piece of notepaper where I wrote "The CPUs have been hacked. Don't trust the CPUs" claiming that was the morse code message.<br />
<br />
Sure enough, Chris believed it [...] and proceeded to give me his passwords and everything else - that's how we got to where we are today. [...] Without that ring we may NEVER have found out what happened|The Captain.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (The Captain)#Amnyfest Ring]]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
Chris trusted The Captain, due to both his buying of the ring as well as Anna's vouching for him a year prior,<ref name=captainessay></ref> and gave him direct access to his accounts, including [[Discord]], so The Captain could "scan for viruses".<br />
<br />
{{quote|When I logged onto the Discord I was appalled - the level of absurdity that these guys had gone to in order to take advantage of Chris was beyond belief.

They were forcing Chris to post videos, Twitter statuses, etc. all in order to get their kicks in addition to the constant requests for money|The Captain,<ref name=tcce></ref>}}<br />
<br />
The Captain teamed up with [[Marvin]] to gather evidence. Telling Chris to take a break from the Internet - and to catch up on TV shows the Idea Guys had banned him from watching - The Captain, with Marvin's coaching, role-played as Chris in the Idea Guys' Discord server to stall while Marvin worked to capture the Discord chatlogs.<br />
<br />
{{quote|At one point [the Idea Guys] wanted Chris to post photographic evidence that he was indeed himself, writing a message on a dry erase board. I had Chris take said picture for me and then forwarded it to them, etc. Eventually, @Marvin built a script to rip the chat logs from Discord, which amounted to hundreds of pages of autistic debauchery in which these speds took advantage of Chris.

<br />
On 29 April, Chris referenced the Idea Guys' removal from power over Twitter.<br />

<br />
A month later, Chris revealed a bit more, saying he had "very Powerful Allies helping to rectify the situation.

===Attempted return===<br />
According to [[The Captain]], one of the Idea Guys attempted to engage with Chris once more on 11 [[May 2018]],<ref name=captainessay></ref> but Chris rejected it.<br />
<br />
{{quote|And then everything just sort of settled down for several weeks.

==Reported to authorities==<br />
{{quote|Chris did eventually print my IC3 report and hand it in to the station himself [...] Since then it has been dead air. No one has contacted Chris, no one has contacted me, no one has done anything.|Guard Dog [[Null]] describes his frustrations with the lack of an investigation.<ref name=tcce></ref>}}<br />
<br />
With their archives of the Idea Guys' Discord chatlogs with Chris, as well as Chris providing the receipts and invoices of gifts sent to them, the [[Guard Dogs]] attempted to report the Idea Guys to the authorities.<br />
<br />
Null contacted the Greene County Sheriff, local to Chris, to discuss the matter. The sheriff interpreted things as a matter of choice from Chris. It should be noted that, since the Idea Guys do not reside in Virginia, the sheriff did not have jurisdiction to act.<br />
<br />
Null also contacted the FBI, both through their online contact form and also by handing a copy to an FBI agent, as the alleged extortion occurred across state lines. Chris later took a printed copy of Null's report to his local police station and turned it in. However, there have been no signs of an investigation as Null and Chris were not contacted back.<ref name=tcce></ref><br />
<br />
===Question of legality===<br />
While much of the Idea Guys' actions are legally ambiguous, other alleged actions are squarely illegal. It's difficult to legally define what the Idea Guys did to Chris's grasp of reality, and because he was a consenting adult and repeatedly gave in to their claims without direct evidence of coercion at that time, it's hard to argue that they broke the law by making him believe in the dimensional merge. Under Virginia law, psychological manipulation, reinforcing delusions, and even reality-destabilizing roleplay (even to someone as vulnerable as Chris) aren't directly illegal. Virginia's vulnerable adult abuse statutes primarily apply to guardians or caretakers of the victim<ref>{{cite web<br />

}}</ref>, which the Idea Guys weren't. It would also be hard to argue that the Idea Guys' escapades qualify as stalking and/or harassment, as Chris repeatedly initiated contact and did not attempt to sever communication with them. <br />
<br />
However, what remains most directly illegal is the alleged blackmail of Chris out of $6,000 by threatening to destroy CWCville and coercing Chris to record videos for blackmail purposes. If true, these acts could constitute multiple felonies under Virginia law, such as: extortion, larceny under false pretenses, financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult<ref>{{cite web<br />

|url=https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter6/section18.2-178.1/<br />
|website=Code of Virginia<br />
}}</ref>, coercion, and sexual exploitation. <br />
<br />
Why no charges were filed could be for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it's unknown what evidence Null brought to the Sheriff/FBI, if there was any, as an outside party his input wouldn't have mattered as much as it would if it was Chris coming forward. Secondly, the Idea Guys were in California and Kentucky, across several online platforms with many accounts, logistically this would've been difficult to approach. Finally, in 2017-2018, rulings around internet exploitation were murky, and legal precedent for a case like this might not have existed at the time.<br />

<br />
Despite the Idea Guys being removed from power in [[April 2018]], the damage to Chris’s sense of reality has lingered. Their actions gave him a sense of validation and boosted his confidence in his pre-existing beliefs about [[dimensions]] and psychically linking with his [[imaginary friends]].<br />
<br />
Chris, though aware of the Idea Guys’ malevolence, continues to believe in many of the concepts they had instilled into him. The most notable being the [[Dimensional Merge]], which he believes will magically solve the [[Financhu Crisis]] and bring [[CWCville]]/[[C-197]] and all fictional characters to life; and lore from video game series ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'', in particular CPU goddesses, which crystalized into Chris believing he is [[CPU Blue Heart]]. Other concepts that Chris still holds on to include his [[bisexual]]ity,<ref>[[Copitz]] interview.</ref> his [[polyamorous marriage]] (which paused the [[Love Quest]] - [[Affair with Mother|temporarily, at least]]), [[Robertchu]], theories about [[Ted Bundy]],<ref>[[Count Dankula]] interview, June 2018.</ref> and the [[The 69 Destined Sonichus and Rosechus|69 Sonichus and Rosechus]].<ref>[[Nightstar is a very important Special Sonichu]]</ref><br />
<br />
On 3 August 2018, Chris posted [[Sonichu 13#Epilogue|an epilogue to ''Sonichu 13'']], which offered clues as to why he maintains belief in the Idea Guys' lore. In it, he stated that Wise's "slanderous, destructive efforts only strengthened my own psychic links with [[C-197|our world, there]]." To Chris, the Idea Guys had been "royally messing" with not only him, but also "literally" the Earth, [[Equestria]] and the CPU goddesses. Chris stated his belief that Wise, "has his own link and grasp of out [sic] world there" and that he ultimately restored [[CWCville]] and released the CPU goddesses from Wise's control.<br />
<br />
Guard Dog [[Marvin]] posted on Kiwi Farms on his opinion of Chris's continued belief in the Idea Guys' canon:<br />
<br />
{{quoteboxgreen|"[[Reality]]" is a malleable concept to Chris.<br />
<br />
To Chris, that these losers were pretending to be imaginary characters doesn't mean they they didn't unwittingly connect with their counterparts in the other dimension or whatever. So yeah, he thinks Wise and Boyd were assholes who stumbled upon some magic or some shit.<br />
<br />
Chris is mostly mad about money first and being made to embarrass himself second.<br />
<br />
In regards to why he still maintains a lot of their canon, it's because Chris is too invested in his imaginary world to give up on it so easily. I think after Wise and Boyd were outed, he felt really uncomfortable about retconning most of their changes. Because if he retcons the past six months, then fuck, why can't he retcon all of it? That would make him feel really uneasy about the possible reality of his imaginary world.<br />
<br />
That reality is most important to him.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/page-816#post-4002093 (https://archive.md/9GYiD)</ref>}}<br />

<br />
Chris, in June 2021, stated that the Idea Guys made his Top 5 list of people who made the most negative impacts on his life (alongside [[Jakoba]], [[Michael Snyder]], [[BlueSpike]], and the staff at [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School]]). Though Chris blamed the Idea Guys "for their "Dimensions’ level of damage", he gave credit to them for validating his beliefs. As such, Chris believed that BlueSpike, the Nathanael Greene staff, and Michael Snyder had the most negative impacts on his life.<ref>[[June 2021 social media posts#Discussing trolls and other stuff]]</ref><br />

{{main|Idea Guy Q&A}}<br />
[[File:IdeaGuyKiwifarm.png|right|250px|thumb|Wise's Kiwi Farms Profile.]]<br />
The ringleader of the Idea Guys, Joshua Wise, signed up to [[Kiwi Farms]] under the name Ballzymaker94 and had several private conversations with select users, soliciting feedback over his early schemes.<br />
<br />
Aside from Wise. Boyd alongside with the Unnamed Canadian also had their own handlers on the site, under the names of NinFreakLan and de_DEVIL_tails respectively.<ref name=tcce></ref><br />
<br />
One user from the [[Kiwi Farms]] had a lengthy conversation with Wise, spanning from 3 December to 18 December 2017 archived in the [[Idea Guy Q&A]]. In it, Wise discusses how he had gained Chris’s trust, and how Chris reacted to some of his ideas and mentions content which had not been publicly released. For example, Chris's inquiry on whether or not [[Jessica Quinn]] was actually a troll, how Chris tried to prevent [[Jamsta]] from being jailed for molestation, and Chris’s attempts to interact with Neptunia goddesses.<br />
<br />
Wise also briefly conversed with other members of the forum, archived in [[Misc Idea Guy chats]]. After he was doxed by the site's moderators on 22 January 2018, many users came forward to post content and conversations that he had shared with them.<br />
<br />
He hadn't shared all of his content over PMs, generally only summarizing his interactions with Chris. After he was exposed, he offered to trade in all of his information in exchange for the moderators removing the dox of his family members. They refused on the grounds that they disliked his public trolling output and believed the dox would be an incentive for him to stay away from Chris,<ref name=sneasel></ref> a message which Wise ignored.<br />

[[File:LoadInstall.png|thumb|[[THE DIMENSIONAL MERGE IS HAPPENING NOW!|Any minute now.]] ({{w|The Shining (film)|Paging Stanley Kubrick!}})]]<br />
'''''The Chris Chan Conspiracy''''' is a documentary film series created by '''TheGamerFromMars''' (real name: '''Arthur James McDaniel'''), a channel dedicated to covering strange individuals and odd phenomena. Chris, having gained his own cult following on the internet, was one of the most requested topics for TheGamerFromMars to cover, so he pulled out all the stops to make a four episode series with an approximate runtime of five hours. Despite the suggestion of the title, no [[Conspiracy theories|conspiracy]] concerning Chris Chan is actually chattered about, and that choice of word is only there for alliterative purposes.<br />
<br />
This documentary is more detailed than [[Chris Chan Documentary (Sachumo)|Sachumo's]] and covers a much greater period of time than that documentary, but it is less in‑depth and more succinct in comparison to [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History|Geno Samuel's documentary]]. The documentary makes use of several previously unseen interactions between TheGamerFromMars and [[Copitz]] with Chris at [[14 Branchland Court]], [[Ruckersville, VA|Ruckersville]], and [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]], which were filmed in [[December 2019]], showcasing Chris's daily life and providing additional insight into his hobbies and public behavior, along with [[Chris and reality|his descent into his delusions]]. Sections of Chris's life are depicted in the form of [[Chris and art|artwork resembling Chris's own]].<br />
<br />
A trailer for ''The Chris Chan Conspiracy'' was uploaded onto [[YouTube]] on 18 March 2022, and the series proper ran from 19 [[March 2022]] to 9 [[April 2022]], covering everything from how [[Borb|Chris's parents]] met to [[Jail Saga|Chris being sent to a mental hospital]].<br />
<br />
In [[October 2023]], TheGamerFromMars mentioned in a podcast that he was sending DMs to Chris, and that he had liked one of them.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNycj18vCYg&t=12s</ref><br />
<br />
TheGamerFromMars met with Chris in [[March 2024]] at the River Ridge Mall in [[Lynchburg, VA]] to record a segment for the fifth episode in the series, which premiered on 11 [[April 2025]].<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#River Ridge Mall (March, second sighting)]]</ref> Notably, TheGamerFromMars communicated and collaborated with [[Praetor]], receiving full exclusive access to the yet-to-be-released [[Goddess Logs]] (Chris's jail diary).<br />

===Analysis===<br />
TheGamerFromMars is introduced to Chris. The crew first visit [[Chris's room]], where he films an "intro". At Copitz's wish, they make their way to the [[gazebo]], where they sit in the dark for a little while. They call it a day and awkwardly leave.<br />

'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So for years now people have been asking me to do a video talking about Chris Chan, and the problem is, I just never knew where to begin on the subject. So for the past month now, I've been trying to get in touch with Chris Chan in any way I could, uh, but after all that failed, I messaged [[Copitz]], he responded right away and asked me if I wanted to do an interview with Chris Chan, and the answer to that was "absolutely yes", so within a few days I get a cameraman and I am heading down&mdash;couple hours&mdash;making a roadtrip out of it&mdash;to meet the notorious Chris Chan in person.<br />

<br />
===Analysis===<br />
Certainly the most eventful of the episodes, its two halves feature Chris in complementary, yet equally unusual dispositions.<br />
<br />
The first half sees Chris [[stress]]edly struggling to accommodate a [[Tetris 99]] session in his disaster of a room, culminating in an unexpected outburst.<br />
<br />
Watching Chris struggle with uncooperative electronics, with a camera on him, in a space so cluttered as to give you sensory overload, with the deafening and constant braying of the tortured dogs, is an anxiety&hyphen;inducing experience. Chris's slip is therefore one of his most understandable, yet still manages to leave the viewer with a bitter taste. Indeed, the collected episodes of tard rage we've gotten from Chris have been directed at immaterial threats in the sole company of his camera; aggression in a social setting is actually quite unlike Chris, especially as of late with his cultivation of a superior, transcendent image.<br />
<br />
Chris does have the social awareness to at least realize his mistake, and immediately tries to mend the situation by adopting a goofy tone. However, one gets the impression that his subsequent autistic stomping to shut the dogs up was conditioned by a "might as well" attitude after the cat was out of the bag.<br />
<br />
The second half sees Chris in an entirely different disposition: freed from his house of horrors, he happily prances around Charlottesville's Downtown Mall. The crew enter an Indian restaurant, which sets off Chris's [[random access humor]] and prompts him to do an {{W|Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu}} impression. His companions hurriedly shush him. Besides this, Chris acts uncharacteristically well&hyphen;adjusted and makes small talk with the waiter. Outside, Chris is accosted by a female fan who asks for a picture.<br />

<br />
[Cut]<br />

[''Cut to a few seconds later'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': What was that quote?<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah she has grown to believe it.

===Background===<br />
[[File:RiverRidgeMall 18March2024.jpeg|270px|thumb|right|The meeting, photographed by an onlooker before its release.]]<br />
On 9 [[April 2024]] TheGamerFromMars appeared on episode 122 of Some Ordinary Podcast. TheGamerFromMars confirmed that he had met with Chris [[March 2024|the month prior]] to work on part 5 to The Chris Chan Conspiracy series. He also revealed that SomeOrdinaryGamers was originally going to come with him to meet Chris, but couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts. He claimed that Chris made both of them custom medallions. TheGamerFromMars said that Chris was more "mentally with it" and was better at not oversharing compared to the previous time they had met at the end of [[2019]]. He also said that Chris visits Barbara about once a month. TheGamerFromMars tried to go visit her with Chris, but couldn't due to the timing of the visit not working out. He mentioned that he briefly spoke with "[[Praetor|a team that runs all the financials]]" and called them a "solid group of people," as well as saying they seemed "pretty well-intentioned."<br />

'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': It's been four and a half years since I originally met Chris Chan. It's my first time back in Virginia since then as well. It's crazy to think that an entire [[COVID-19|pandemic]] came and went. So it's going to be interesting to see what happens. I actually am quite nervous.

'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Right- Thank you very much, I appreciate it. This is awesome!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You know why they call it '{{w|Chicken Soup for the Soul}}'?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Why?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Because chicken soup is neutrally- is a neutral good healing. I'm [[Chris and religion|multi-religious]]. I mean, physically, I actually am point f- about .01% Ashkenazi Jewish as proven by [[CWC Ancestry|23andMe]]. I- My apologies for, uh, not being specific on the name but my conscious memory—you can only take in so much at a time. Cuz I'm literally connected with the Akashic records and everything that is, and was, and will be. I'm connected with the literal- literal core and matrix of this universe as depicted, [''???''] universe by that- eye-looking thing with a star- with a star gem in the middle. I, uh, foreknew what was gonna happen, but then it... did happen—I was put into jail, accused of all those of which I was wrongfully false witness for... which obviously not- I mean, shoot. Even when you're conversing with one another, you're [[Soul Bonding]] that way. But, if you're feeling any doubt—because demons stem from doubt—if you have any doubt, those demons are gonna come right into you and just affect your mind- your mindset and thinking!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': That was- that was quite the- quite the s- uh, uh, amount of information to comprehend.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, it is. But, uh, yeah, I do have a few friends I talk with about that. And, uh, definitely gonna plug this in- So I started doing, uh, me versus [[AI]], [[AI Chris Chan Vs Christ Chan|in the regards of a "SingStar" competition]]. [''A little bit better?''] hey, versus a computer that can replicate singing and voicing in a way- but hey, that AI ''cannot adjust the pitch all the way from the nose down to the deep, deep base of the throat.''

'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You're feeling this right now. You're gonna feel my energy, and I'm gonna feel your energy.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Are you able to heal people through touch still?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, just like, uh, I was able to do with your cameraman earlier.<br />
<br />
[''Video cuts to a brief clip of them at the mall'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm gonna just temporarily shift you into the red.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You feel a sting?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': A little bit.<br />
<br />
[''Brief clip ends, video resumes to the park'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': As far as everybody knows, [[Big Island House|I'm living there by myself]]. I'm taking care of the bills and everything. Let's just say I do have somebody that handle- that helps me with the tax details, but aside from that, I'm decent. I'm good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So how- how was your experience in jail for all that time?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Very meditative. I was really able to just disconnect from the technology and Internet and whatnot during the time. Really found myself, and that's the thing on developing your personal maturity. You s- you soul search.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, a question that I had is, um, you know, you got out on bail. Were you able to get out on bail at any time if someone bailed you out?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm not sure... I don't think that w- I- if I remember correctly, I don't believe that was an option... or, yeah- This is obviously circumstance, didn't really have anybody at the time, yada, yada, yada. Yeah, obviously I'm using a [[Seinfeld]] reference! Yada, yada, yada! So here's my paraphrasing from the first Sonic movie: So, as I crash into the cold, dark waters of the Atlantic, I realized a few things. A: I know where I'm going, but I only have some idea of how to get there. B: Salt water stings, but I can swim! And C: I shouldn't even be here right now, but I am. Why? Because they betrayed me! THEY BETRAYED ME! And I still don't know whether or not- who was the better kister- Josh- miss better kisser- [[Josh Moon]] or Judas Iscariot?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You- I know you have said that Josh Moon is a reincarnation of Judas. Do you still stand by that? <br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, I think I did not say it was a reincarnation of Judas, I just- I just like, you know, the comparison.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, sounds good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': But anyway...<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When- when did you end up getting back in touch with her? Were you allowed to right after you got out of, uh, jail?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Yeah, obviously, uh, yes. After that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': The charges were dropped.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes. And to make this clear, I never ever wished for [[Barbara]]'s [[death]]. I never ever did that, I was making it on the general preliminary line, on, like, you know, either during the near future or just like years in the future when that would happen with Barbara. But I never ever wished for it, period.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You say in this timeline, the, you know, what you were arrested for, um, didn't happen. On another timeline, did it happen?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That would be a remotely distant one, [''stuttering''] the fact that- it came about from the manifestation from [[Bella]]'s mind when she came up with that roleplay fanfiction for one thing. And also, that was among the shipping fanfics from among the, uh- among the mixed fans I have. It came out even years before that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So there is a timeline but you've never been on that timeline before?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That's right. We were never on that timeline.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, just making sure. A lot of people have that question of like, if the timeline ever merged to this during the inter[[dimensional merge]], or something along those lines.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, obviously, you know, as you can look up online, and ask any psychic, the timeline does shift here around- here and there, sometimes crossing into other timelines, but it did not cross into that. And just- the only way it did- it is- the only way it did that, it was through Bella. At that point.<br />
<br />
23:33 &ndash; [''Middling narration of events centered around Chris's [[Jail Saga|stay in jail]] and the [[Goddess Log]] commences.'']<br />

<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars talks to the camera in an {{w|Airbnb}}, then that footage's audio plays over footage of him opening the door for Chris to enter'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So right now, uh, we're going to have Christine over to our Airbnb. We tried to get access to [[Transgender|her]] apartment, but she didn't feel comfortable with us going over there currently. We also tried to see if we could go and do a road trip [[14 Branchland Court|to see Barb]], but, uh, she didn't seem against it, but she didn't want to do it right now. So, I dunno, maybe some other time. But it's clear she still has access to Barb. So, yeah, we'll- we'll hang out here and, uh, I dunno, just do a couple of activities, hang out, maybe cook a bit, maybe draw a bit, and, uh, see where the day takes us.<br />
<br />
Hello, Christine! Come right in!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Hey! Hey, viewers at home! [''Video cuts to Chris looking out the balcony''] That's a great view! [''yodeling noises, then the video cuts to Chris and TheGamerFromMars at a table'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, let's see what- what do you wanna draw today?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''[[Stress sigh|sigh]]''] I figured I'd just keep it simple, I'm gonna do a simple Sonichu and Ro- Sonichu and Rosie drawing. [''Chris covers his mouth to burp''] Pardon me.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': How many drawings of Sonichu do you think you have done at this point?<br />
[[File:Authentic Love Conquers Hate & Fake March 2024.png|thumb|200px|What Chris ended up drawing. TheGamerFromMars presumably kept it.]]<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Quite the massive number. You buy something off [[Etsy]], you're not exactly gonna get the same quality twice. There's- there's bound to be an error or two along the way.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what percentage of your day is, uh, working on the [[OfficialCWCmart|Etsy store]] and doing the [[OfficialCWCmart commissions|commissions]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [[Chris and work|Decent amount]]. There's outsourcing, of course. Sheesh, I made Sonichu a little gruff looking, even from the side view.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What's still at the [[Old Temple|old house]] of yours? Do you still have any of the- the old collections?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, a bunch of the old collections, yes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When was the last time you were there visiting Barb?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Um, actually earlier this month. I'm vi- I visit- I'm visiting- I visit once a month these days.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what if someone wanted a [[Rick and Morty|Pickle Rick]] in a picture like this? How much extra would that cost as a commission?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Can't put Pickle Rick in a drawing like this. It don't work.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What if someone, like, wanted to pay a lot of money to make it happen though? Is there- is there a price or do you just have the artistic merit? Where you'll- you'll never do it for a million dollars.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Merit. [''Chris gives the drawing to TheGamerFromMars''] There you are, with my compliments.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Thank you very much! So, you talked a bit about [[Andy Warhol]]. Do you think you're better than him? Or on the same level? What do you feel?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'd say decently on the same level, though more [[Chris and socialization|socially outgoing]].<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Do you have limits of what you'll draw?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes, I do have my boundaries. Definitely nothing NSFW and no gore. I mean, just rule of thumb, if it cannot be aired on {{w|Nickelodeon}} or {{w|Cartoon Network}}, ''no''.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What about [[Adult Swim]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, Adult Swim don't count in that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay.<br />
<br />

[[File:LoadInstall.png|thumb|[[THE DIMENSIONAL MERGE IS HAPPENING NOW!|Any minute now.]] ({{w|The Shining (film)|Paging Stanley Kubrick!}})]]<br />
'''''The Chris Chan Conspiracy''''' is a documentary film series created by '''TheGamerFromMars''' (real name: '''Arthur James McDaniel'''), a channel dedicated to covering strange individuals and odd phenomena. Chris, having gained his own cult following on the internet, was one of the most requested topics for TheGamerFromMars to cover, so he pulled out all the stops to make a four episode series with an approximate runtime of five hours. Despite the suggestion of the title, no [[Conspiracy theories|conspiracy]] concerning Chris Chan is actually chattered about, and that choice of word is only there for alliterative purposes.<br />
<br />
This documentary is more detailed than [[Chris Chan Documentary (Sachumo)|Sachumo's]] and covers a much greater period of time than that documentary, but it is less in‑depth and more succinct in comparison to [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History|Geno Samuel's documentary]]. The documentary makes use of several previously unseen interactions between TheGamerFromMars and [[Copitz]] with Chris at [[14 Branchland Court]], [[Ruckersville, VA|Ruckersville]], and [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]], which were filmed in [[December 2019]], showcasing Chris's daily life and providing additional insight into his hobbies and public behavior, along with [[Chris and reality|his descent into his delusions]]. Sections of Chris's life are depicted in the form of [[Chris and art|artwork resembling Chris's own]].<br />
<br />
A trailer for ''The Chris Chan Conspiracy'' was uploaded onto [[YouTube]] on 18 March 2022, and the series proper ran from 19 [[March 2022]] to 9 [[April 2022]], covering everything from how [[Borb|Chris's parents]] met to [[Jail Saga|Chris being sent to a mental hospital]].<br />
<br />
In [[October 2023]], TheGamerFromMars mentioned in a podcast that he was sending DMs to Chris, and that he had liked one of them.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNycj18vCYg&t=12s</ref><br />
<br />
TheGamerFromMars met with Chris in [[March 2024]] at the River Ridge Mall in [[Lynchburg, VA]] to record a segment for the fifth episode in the series, which premiered on 11 [[April 2025]].<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#River Ridge Mall (March, second sighting)]]</ref> Notably, TheGamerFromMars communicated and collaborated with [[Praetor]], receiving full exclusive access to the yet-to-be-released [[Goddess Logs]] (Chris's jail diary).<br />

===Analysis===<br />
TheGamerFromMars is introduced to Chris. The crew first visit [[Chris's room]], where he films an "intro". At Copitz's wish, they make their way to the [[gazebo]], where they sit in the dark for a little while. They call it a day and awkwardly leave.<br />

<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars walks to his car, then is shown driving'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So for years now people have been asking me to do a video talking about Chris Chan, and the problem is, I just never knew where to begin on the subject. So for the past month now, I've been trying to get in touch with Chris Chan in any way I could, uh, but after all that failed, I messaged [[Copitz]], he responded right away and asked me if I wanted to do an interview with Chris Chan, and the answer to that was "absolutely yes", so within a few days I get a cameraman and I am heading down&mdash;couple hours&mdash;making a roadtrip out of it&mdash;to meet the notorious Chris Chan in person.<br />
<br />
And this is the street. Is that it?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': I… mean, that looks&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': [[Son-Chu|Sonichu]]! Look!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Sonichu…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Zoom in on the license plate.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hold on&mldr; huh&hyphen;huh&mldr; see if I can get that.<br />
<br />
[''They exit the car.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Hello!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hello ! Hi!<br />
<br />
[''Hellish, still distant wailing from [[Snoopy and Clover]]. Worse is to come.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Hey guys! How's it going?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hey! How are you?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Art? Is that right?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': How's it going?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': I'm Jesse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Jesse, nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': It's an honor to meet you!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Nice to meet you too.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Christine, hello. I'm Jesse, nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, Jesse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Alright, suppose we can go inside.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': [''mumbles''] Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''stutters''] We're gonna do the interview downstairs.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yeah&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay. Ha-ha-ha.<br />
<br />
[''The dogs begin barking torturedly and torturously. Cameraman zooms in on license plate.'']<br />
<br />
[''Everybody enters.'']<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Oh.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Go [?] downstairs. [''Goes upstairs'']<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Snoopy, no! Quiet down, quiet down! Quiet! quiet! Alright, everybody's inside.<br />
<br />
[''The crew are taken aback by [[Chris's room#New room|Chris's room]].'']<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': O-kay&mldr; [''Films the walls. Copitz nods understandingly. Chris talks to the dogs in the background.''] Alright, well&mldr; this is, uh&mldr; very nice! [''Cameraman zooms in on the sheet of paper pictured above'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yes! [''indistinct''] uploaded&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Yes, this is the room where it was all made!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': This is where it all&mldr;<br />
<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Yeah! [''laughs'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': They calm down after a little bit sometimes.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah, yeah.<br />
<br />
[''Cut to Chris sitting on his bed.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [[Joe Biden|The thing&mdash; is that thing]] on right now?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah, is that okay?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Oh. Yeah. Hello! Hello dear ip&mdash; hello dear YouTube and the Internet, all that! Hello! Hello. Hope y'all having a good day. There is your intro. Kinda.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah. Kinda. [''laughs'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': [''laughs'']<br />
<br />
[''Title card: "Episode 1: The Birth of Chris Chan"'']<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': …I guess, like maybe wanna go to [[McDonald's]] or something like that, or we can hang out in the gazebo, maybe…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh… well it's dark out, now&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': It is.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': &mldr;so, might not&mdash; not&mdash; be able to see the gazebo…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': That's true.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': &mldr;but I can&mldr; point it out, it's, uh, you know, behind the house, and, you know where the [[Duck|pen is]], the green of the fence right at the, that's, alongside the road there, and then&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Uh, I haven't seen it.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Oof, anyway, you're driving down Westwood,&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Right.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': and you look to your right. You see, you will see a doghouse before you see&mldr; [''dogs start making noise again''] the… the, the, the pen&mdash;the gazebo's behind the doghouse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Gotcha, I gotcha. Okay.<br />
<br />
[''The two dogs bark deafeningly from the stairs. Chris talks inaudibly. Everybody exits. Cut to Chris holding a flashlight in the yard.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Here we go, I got the gazeb&mdash; and then I get the [''inaudible'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Gazebo's over here.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Watch your step. This is your light source, I'm the light source.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yes! [''groan'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Alright.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''inaudible'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': It's a very low gazebo.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yeah, it is, ha ha.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You gotta watch your head if you're more than&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': So, I'm able to, I'm able to stand, barely, but&mldr; at five ten.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Ah&mldr; If you're {{W|Brad Garrett}} you'd have to hunch down.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Ooh. Yeah&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': 'Cause his height's more than six feet.<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Thank you.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, Christine, do any of your neighbors know about, uh, Chris Chan and everything that goes on online?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh. Among which, yes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Have, uh, the trolls ever harassed them?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Hmmm&mldr; not that I'm aware of.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': I see.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I pray they haven't!<br />

===Analysis===<br />
The live‑action segments focus exclusively on [[Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder]]. In an arrangement reminiscent of a childhood sleepover, Chris single‑mindedly forces his guests to play his autistic twist on an autistic game. After two awkward hours, Copitz manages to put an end to the agony by winning.<br />

If you are the first to make one of Twilight's narrative goals a reality, you earn the points for that goal! Of course, you also earn the shame of enabling Twilight's horrible penchant of shipping her friends, but nobody's perfect. [''shrill cackle'']<br />

<br />
===Analysis===<br />
Certainly the most eventful of the episodes, its two halves feature Chris in complementary, yet equally unusual dispositions.<br />
<br />
The first half sees Chris [[stress]]edly struggling to accommodate a [[Tetris 99]] session in his disaster of a room, culminating in an unexpected outburst.<br />
<br />
Watching Chris struggle with uncooperative electronics, with a camera on him, in a space so cluttered as to give you sensory overload, with the deafening and constant braying of the tortured dogs, is an anxiety&hyphen;inducing experience. Chris's slip is therefore one of his most understandable, yet still manages to leave the viewer with a bitter taste. Indeed, the collected episodes of tard rage we've gotten from Chris have been directed at immaterial threats in the sole company of his camera; aggression in a social setting is actually quite unlike Chris, especially as of late with his cultivation of a superior, transcendent image.<br />
<br />
Chris does have the social awareness to at least realize his mistake, and immediately tries to mend the situation by adopting a goofy tone. However, one gets the impression that his subsequent autistic stomping to shut the dogs up was conditioned by a "might as well" attitude after the cat was out of the bag.<br />
<br />
The second half sees Chris in an entirely different disposition: freed from his house of horrors, he happily prances around Charlottesville's Downtown Mall. The crew enter an Indian restaurant, which sets off Chris's [[random access humor]] and prompts him to do an {{W|Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu}} impression. His companions hurriedly shush him. Besides this, Chris acts uncharacteristically well&hyphen;adjusted and makes small talk with the waiter. Outside, Chris is accosted by a female fan who asks for a picture.<br />

===Background===<br />
[[File:RiverRidgeMall 18March2024.jpeg|270px|thumb|right|The meeting, photographed by an onlooker before its release.]]<br />
On 9 [[April 2024]] TheGamerFromMars appeared on episode 122 of Some Ordinary Podcast. TheGamerFromMars confirmed that he had met with Chris [[March 2024|the month prior]] to work on part 5 to The Chris Chan Conspiracy series. He also revealed that SomeOrdinaryGamers was originally going to come with him to meet Chris, but couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts. He claimed that Chris made both of them custom medallions. TheGamerFromMars said that Chris was more "mentally with it" and was better at not oversharing compared to the previous time they had met at the end of [[2019]]. He also said that Chris visits Barbara about once a month. TheGamerFromMars tried to go visit her with Chris, but couldn't due to the timing of the visit not working out. He mentioned that he briefly spoke with "[[Praetor|a team that runs all the financials]]" and called them a "solid group of people," as well as saying they seemed "pretty well-intentioned."<br />

'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': It's been four and a half years since I originally met Chris Chan. It's my first time back in Virginia since then as well. It's crazy to think that an entire [[COVID-19|pandemic]] came and went. So it's going to be interesting to see what happens. I actually am quite nervous.

'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You know why they call it '{{w|Chicken Soup for the Soul}}'?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Why?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Because chicken soup is neutrally- is a neutral good healing. I'm [[Chris and religion|multi-religious]]. I mean, physically, I actually am point f- about .01% Ashkenazi Jewish as proven by [[CWC Ancestry|23andMe]]. I- My apologies for, uh, not being specific on the name but my conscious memory—you can only take in so much at a time. Cuz I'm literally connected with the Akashic records and everything that is, and was, and will be. I'm connected with the literal- literal core and matrix of this universe as depicted, [''???''] universe by that- eye-looking thing with a star- with a star gem in the middle. I, uh, foreknew what was gonna happen, but then it... did happen—I was put into jail, accused of all those of which I was wrongfully false witness for... which obviously not- I mean, shoot. Even when you're conversing with one another, you're [[Soul Bonding]] that way. But, if you're feeling any doubt—because demons stem from doubt—if you have any doubt, those demons are gonna come right into you and just affect your mind- your mindset and thinking!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': That was- that was quite the- quite the s- uh, uh, amount of information to comprehend.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, it is. But, uh, yeah, I do have a few friends I talk with about that. And, uh, definitely gonna plug this in- So I started doing, uh, me versus [[AI]], [[AI Chris Chan Vs Christ Chan|in the regards of a "SingStar" competition]]. [''A little bit better?''] hey, versus a computer that can replicate singing and voicing in a way- but hey, that AI ''cannot adjust the pitch all the way from the nose down to the deep, deep base of the throat.''

[''TheGamerFromMars drives his car, then that footage's audio plays over footage of him walking with Chris at the Riverfront Park in [[Lynchburg]], Virginia'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': -st, uh, now we are headed over to a park of some sort, so we're just following the car that says "Sonichu" on it.<br />
<br />
Oh, jeez.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I got two-<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You got two phones!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I got two phones! One for the trolls, and one for my homes! I got two phones! One for the bullies, and one for my friends. You think I need two phones? I'm so popular! Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Very good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You're feeling this right now. You're gonna feel my energy, and I'm gonna feel your energy.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Are you able to heal people through touch still?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, just like, uh, I was able to do with your cameraman earlier.<br />
<br />
[''Video cuts to a brief clip of them at the mall'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm gonna just temporarily shift you into the red.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You feel a sting?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': A little bit.<br />
<br />
[''Brief clip ends, video resumes to the park'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': As far as everybody knows, [[Big Island House|I'm living there by myself]]. I'm taking care of the bills and everything. Let's just say I do have somebody that handle- that helps me with the tax details, but aside from that, I'm decent. I'm good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So how- how was your experience in jail for all that time?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Very meditative. I was really able to just disconnect from the technology and Internet and whatnot during the time. Really found myself, and that's the thing on developing your personal maturity. You s- you soul search.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, a question that I had is, um, you know, you got out on bail. Were you able to get out on bail at any time if someone bailed you out?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm not sure... I don't think that w- I- if I remember correctly, I don't believe that was an option... or, yeah- This is obviously circumstance, didn't really have anybody at the time, yada, yada, yada. Yeah, obviously I'm using a [[Seinfeld]] reference! Yada, yada, yada! So here's my paraphrasing from the first Sonic movie: So, as I crash into the cold, dark waters of the Atlantic, I realized a few things. A: I know where I'm going, but I only have some idea of how to get there. B: Salt water stings, but I can swim! And C: I shouldn't even be here right now, but I am. Why? Because they betrayed me! THEY BETRAYED ME! And I still don't know whether or not- who was the better kister- Josh- miss better kisser- [[Josh Moon]] or Judas Iscariot?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You- I know you have said that Josh Moon is a reincarnation of Judas. Do you still stand by that? <br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, I think I did not say it was a reincarnation of Judas, I just- I just like, you know, the comparison.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, sounds good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': But anyway...<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When- when did you end up getting back in touch with her? Were you allowed to right after you got out of, uh, jail?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Yeah, obviously, uh, yes. After that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': The charges were dropped.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes. And to make this clear, I never ever wished for [[Barbara]]'s [[death]]. I never ever did that, I was making it on the general preliminary line, on, like, you know, either during the near future or just like years in the future when that would happen with Barbara. But I never ever wished for it, period.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You say in this timeline, the, you know, what you were arrested for, um, didn't happen. On another timeline, did it happen?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That would be a remotely distant one, [''stuttering''] the fact that- it came about from the manifestation from [[Bella]]'s mind when she came up with that roleplay fanfiction for one thing. And also, that was among the shipping fanfics from among the, uh- among the mixed fans I have. It came out even years before that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So there is a timeline but you've never been on that timeline before?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That's right. We were never on that timeline.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, just making sure. A lot of people have that question of like, if the timeline ever merged to this during the inter[[dimensional merge]], or something along those lines.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, obviously, you know, as you can look up online, and ask any psychic, the timeline does shift here around- here and there, sometimes crossing into other timelines, but it did not cross into that. And just- the only way it did- it is- the only way it did that, it was through Bella. At that point.<br />

[''TheGamerFromMars talks to the camera in an {{w|Airbnb}}, then that footage's audio plays over footage of him opening the door for Chris to enter'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So right now, uh, we're going to have Christine over to our Airbnb. We tried to get access to [[Transgender|her]] apartment, but she didn't feel comfortable with us going over there currently. We also tried to see if we could go and do a road trip [[14 Branchland Court|to see Barb]], but, uh, she didn't seem against it, but she didn't want to do it right now. So, I dunno, maybe some other time. But it's clear she still has access to Barb. So, yeah, we'll- we'll hang out here and, uh, I dunno, just do a couple of activities, hang out, maybe cook a bit, maybe draw a bit, and, uh, see where the day takes us.<br />
<br />
Hello, Christine! Come right in!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Hey! Hey, viewers at home! [''Video cuts to Chris looking out the balcony''] That's a great view! [''yodeling noises, then the video cuts to Chris and TheGamerFromMars at a table'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, let's see what- what do you wanna draw today?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''[[Stress sigh|sigh]]''] I figured I'd just keep it simple, I'm gonna do a simple Sonichu and Ro- Sonichu and Rosie drawing. [''Chris covers his mouth to burp''] Pardon me.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': How many drawings of Sonichu do you think you have done at this point?<br />
[[File:Authentic Love Conquers Hate & Fake March 2024.png|thumb|200px|What Chris ended up drawing. TheGamerFromMars presumably kept it.]]<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Quite the massive number. You buy something off [[Etsy]], you're not exactly gonna get the same quality twice. There's- there's bound to be an error or two along the way.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what percentage of your day is, uh, working on the [[OfficialCWCmart|Etsy store]] and doing the [[OfficialCWCmart commissions|commissions]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [[Chris and work|Decent amount]]. There's outsourcing, of course. Sheesh, I made Sonichu a little gruff looking, even from the side view.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What's still at the [[Old Temple|old house]] of yours? Do you still have any of the- the old collections?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, a bunch of the old collections, yes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When was the last time you were there visiting Barb?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Um, actually earlier this month. I'm vi- I visit- I'm visiting- I visit once a month these days.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what if someone wanted a [[Rick and Morty|Pickle Rick]] in a picture like this? How much extra would that cost as a commission?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Can't put Pickle Rick in a drawing like this. It don't work.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What if someone, like, wanted to pay a lot of money to make it happen though? Is there- is there a price or do you just have the artistic merit? Where you'll- you'll never do it for a million dollars.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Merit. [''Chris gives the drawing to TheGamerFromMars''] There you are, with my compliments.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Thank you very much! So, you talked a bit about [[Andy Warhol]]. Do you think you're better than him? Or on the same level? What do you feel?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'd say decently on the same level, though more [[Chris and socialization|socially outgoing]].<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Do you have limits of what you'll draw?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes, I do have my boundaries. Definitely nothing NSFW and no gore. I mean, just rule of thumb, if it cannot be aired on {{w|Nickelodeon}} or {{w|Cartoon Network}}, ''no''.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What about [[Adult Swim]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, Adult Swim don't count in that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay.<br />

[[File:LoadInstall.png|thumb|[[THE DIMENSIONAL MERGE IS HAPPENING NOW!|Any minute now.]] ({{w|The Shining (film)|Paging Stanley Kubrick!}})]]<br />
'''''The Chris Chan Conspiracy''''' is a documentary film series created by '''TheGamerFromMars''' (real name: '''Arthur James McDaniel'''), a channel dedicated to covering strange individuals and odd phenomena. Chris, having gained his own cult following on the internet, was one of the most requested topics for TheGamerFromMars to cover, so he pulled out all the stops to make a four episode series with an approximate runtime of five hours. Despite the suggestion of the title, no [[Conspiracy theories|conspiracy]] concerning Chris Chan is actually chattered about, and that choice of word is only there for alliterative purposes.<br />
<br />
This documentary is more detailed than [[Chris Chan Documentary (Sachumo)|Sachumo's]] and covers a much greater period of time than that documentary, but it is less in‑depth and more succinct in comparison to [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History|Geno Samuel's documentary]]. The documentary makes use of several previously unseen interactions between TheGamerFromMars and [[Copitz]] with Chris at [[14 Branchland Court]], [[Ruckersville, VA|Ruckersville]], and [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]], which were filmed in [[December 2019]], showcasing Chris's daily life and providing additional insight into his hobbies and public behavior, along with [[Chris and reality|his descent into his delusions]]. Sections of Chris's life are depicted in the form of [[Chris and art|artwork resembling Chris's own]].<br />
<br />
A trailer for ''The Chris Chan Conspiracy'' was uploaded onto [[YouTube]] on 18 March 2022, and the series proper ran from 19 [[March 2022]] to 9 [[April 2022]], covering everything from how [[Borb|Chris's parents]] met to [[Jail Saga|Chris being sent to a mental hospital]].<br />
<br />
In [[October 2023]], TheGamerFromMars mentioned in a podcast that he was sending DMs to Chris, and that he had liked one of them.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNycj18vCYg&t=12s</ref><br />
<br />
TheGamerFromMars met with Chris in [[March 2024]] at the River Ridge Mall in [[Lynchburg, VA]] to record a segment for the fifth episode in the series, which premiered on 11 [[April 2025]].<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#River Ridge Mall (March, second sighting)]]</ref> Notably, TheGamerFromMars communicated and collaborated with [[Praetor]], receiving full exclusive access to the yet-to-be-released [[Goddess Logs]] (Chris's jail diary).<br />

===Analysis===<br />
TheGamerFromMars is introduced to Chris. The crew first visit [[Chris's room]], where he films an "intro". At Copitz's wish, they make their way to the [[gazebo]], where they sit in the dark for a little while. They call it a day and awkwardly leave.<br />

[''TheGamerFromMars walks to his car, then is shown driving'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So for years now people have been asking me to do a video talking about Chris Chan, and the problem is, I just never knew where to begin on the subject. So for the past month now, I've been trying to get in touch with Chris Chan in any way I could, uh, but after all that failed, I messaged [[Copitz]], he responded right away and asked me if I wanted to do an interview with Chris Chan, and the answer to that was "absolutely yes", so within a few days I get a cameraman and I am heading down&mdash;couple hours&mdash;making a roadtrip out of it&mdash;to meet the notorious Chris Chan in person.<br />
<br />
And this is the street. Is that it?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': I… mean, that looks&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': [[Son-Chu|Sonichu]]! Look!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Sonichu…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Zoom in on the license plate.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hold on&mldr; huh&hyphen;huh&mldr; see if I can get that.<br />
<br />
[''They exit the car.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Hello!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hello ! Hi!<br />
<br />
[''Hellish, still distant wailing from [[Snoopy and Clover]]. Worse is to come.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Hey guys! How's it going?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hey! How are you?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Art? Is that right?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': How's it going?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': I'm Jesse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Jesse, nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': It's an honor to meet you!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Nice to meet you too.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Christine, hello. I'm Jesse, nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, Jesse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Alright, suppose we can go inside.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': [''mumbles''] Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''stutters''] We're gonna do the interview downstairs.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yeah&mdash;<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Snoopy, no! Quiet down, quiet down! Quiet! quiet! Alright, everybody's inside.<br />
<br />
[''The crew are taken aback by [[Chris's room#New room|Chris's room]].'']<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': O-kay&mldr; [''Films the walls. Copitz nods understandingly. Chris talks to the dogs in the background.''] Alright, well&mldr; this is, uh&mldr; very nice! [''Cameraman zooms in on the sheet of paper pictured above'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yes! [''indistinct''] uploaded&mldr;<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [[Joe Biden|The thing&mdash; is that thing]] on right now?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah, is that okay?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Oh. Yeah. Hello! Hello dear ip&mdash; hello dear YouTube and the Internet, all that! Hello! Hello. Hope y'all having a good day. There is your intro. Kinda.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah. Kinda. [''laughs'']<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': …I guess, like maybe wanna go to [[McDonald's]] or something like that, or we can hang out in the gazebo, maybe…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh… well it's dark out, now&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': It is.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': &mldr;so, might not&mdash; not&mdash; be able to see the gazebo…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': That's true.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': &mldr;but I can&mldr; point it out, it's, uh, you know, behind the house, and, you know where the [[Duck|pen is]], the green of the fence right at the, that's, alongside the road there, and then&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Uh, I haven't seen it.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Oof, anyway, you're driving down Westwood,&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Right.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': and you look to your right. You see, you will see a doghouse before you see&mldr; [''dogs start making noise again''] the… the, the, the pen&mdash;the gazebo's behind the doghouse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Gotcha, I gotcha. Okay.<br />
<br />
[''The two dogs bark deafeningly from the stairs. Chris talks inaudibly. Everybody exits. Cut to Chris holding a flashlight in the yard.'']<br />

<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''inaudible'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': It's a very low gazebo.<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You gotta watch your head if you're more than&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': So, I'm able to, I'm able to stand, barely, but&mldr; at five ten.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Ah&mldr; If you're {{W|Brad Garrett}} you'd have to hunch down.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Ooh. Yeah&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': 'Cause his height's more than six feet.<br />

'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Thank you.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh. Among which, yes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Have, uh, the trolls ever harassed them?<br />
<br />

===Analysis===<br />
The live‑action segments focus exclusively on [[Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder]]. In an arrangement reminiscent of a childhood sleepover, Chris single‑mindedly forces his guests to play his autistic twist on an autistic game. After two awkward hours, Copitz manages to put an end to the agony by winning.<br />

She ships herself, her friends, and her family together, regardless of relation, orientation, or harmonious mane&dash;and&hyphen;coat color combination.

If you are the first to make one of Twilight's narrative goals a reality, you earn the points for that goal! Of course, you also earn the shame of enabling Twilight's horrible penchant of shipping her friends, but nobody's perfect. [''shrill cackle'']<br />

<br />
===Analysis===<br />
Certainly the most eventful of the episodes, its two halves feature Chris in complementary, yet equally unusual dispositions.<br />
<br />
The first half sees Chris [[stress]]edly struggling to accommodate a [[Tetris 99]] session in his disaster of a room, culminating in an unexpected outburst.<br />
<br />
Watching Chris struggle with uncooperative electronics, with a camera on him, in a space so cluttered as to give you sensory overload, with the deafening and constant braying of the tortured dogs, is an anxiety&hyphen;inducing experience. Chris's slip is therefore one of his most understandable, yet still manages to leave the viewer with a bitter taste. Indeed, the collected episodes of tard rage we've gotten from Chris have been directed at immaterial threats in the sole company of his camera; aggression in a social setting is actually quite unlike Chris, especially as of late with his cultivation of a superior, transcendent image.<br />
<br />
Chris does have the social awareness to at least realize his mistake, and immediately tries to mend the situation by adopting a goofy tone. However, one gets the impression that his subsequent autistic stomping to shut the dogs up was conditioned by a "might as well" attitude after the cat was out of the bag.<br />
<br />
The second half sees Chris in an entirely different disposition: freed from his house of horrors, he happily prances around Charlottesville's Downtown Mall. The crew enter an Indian restaurant, which sets off Chris's [[random access humor]] and prompts him to do an {{W|Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu}} impression. His companions hurriedly shush him. Besides this, Chris acts uncharacteristically well&hyphen;adjusted and makes small talk with the waiter. Outside, Chris is accosted by a female fan who asks for a picture.<br />

===Background===<br />
[[File:RiverRidgeMall 18March2024.jpeg|270px|thumb|right|The meeting, photographed by an onlooker before its release.]]<br />
On 9 [[April 2024]] TheGamerFromMars appeared on episode 122 of Some Ordinary Podcast. TheGamerFromMars confirmed that he had met with Chris [[March 2024|the month prior]] to work on part 5 to The Chris Chan Conspiracy series. He also revealed that SomeOrdinaryGamers was originally going to come with him to meet Chris, but couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts. He claimed that Chris made both of them custom medallions. TheGamerFromMars said that Chris was more "mentally with it" and was better at not oversharing compared to the previous time they had met at the end of [[2019]]. He also said that Chris visits Barbara about once a month. TheGamerFromMars tried to go visit her with Chris, but couldn't due to the timing of the visit not working out. He mentioned that he briefly spoke with "[[Praetor|a team that runs all the financials]]" and called them a "solid group of people," as well as saying they seemed "pretty well-intentioned."<br />

It's crazy to think that an entire [[COVID-19|pandemic]] came and went. So it's going to be interesting to see what happens. I actually am quite nervous.

<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Why?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Because chicken soup is neutrally- is a neutral good healing. I'm [[Chris and religion|multi-religious]]. I mean, physically, I actually am point f- about .01% Ashkenazi Jewish as proven by [[CWC Ancestry|23andMe]]. I- My apologies for, uh, not being specific on the name but my conscious memory—you can only take in so much at a time. Cuz I'm literally connected with the Akashic records and everything that is, and was, and will be. I'm connected with the literal- literal core and matrix of this universe as depicted, [''???''] universe by that- eye-looking thing with a star- with a star gem in the middle. I, uh, foreknew what was gonna happen, but then it... did happen—I was put into jail, accused of all those of which I was wrongfully false witness for... which obviously not- I mean, shoot. Even when you're conversing with one another, you're [[Soul Bonding]] that way. But, if you're feeling any doubt—because demons stem from doubt—if you have any doubt, those demons are gonna come right into you and just affect your mind- your mindset and thinking!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': That was- that was quite the- quite the s- uh, uh, amount of information to comprehend.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, it is. But, uh, yeah, I do have a few friends I talk with about that. And, uh, definitely gonna plug this in- So I started doing, uh, me versus [[AI]], [[AI Chris Chan Vs Christ Chan|in the regards of a "SingStar" competition]]. [''A little bit better?''] hey, versus a computer that can replicate singing and voicing in a way- but hey, that AI ''cannot adjust the pitch all the way from the nose down to the deep, deep base of the throat.'' [''loud siren-like wailing''] And they teach you that in- in voice acting and singing classes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': I don't think I've ever known that before.<br />
<br />
4:33 &ndash; [''Middling narration of events centered around the time of Chris's [[Incest Arrest|2021 arrest]] commences.'']<br />

<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars drives his car, then that footage's audio plays over footage of him walking with Chris at the Riverfront Park in [[Lynchburg]], Virginia'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': -st, uh, now we are headed over to a park of some sort, so we're just following the car that says "Sonichu" on it.<br />
<br />
Oh, jeez.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I got two-<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You got two phones!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I got two phones! One for the trolls, and one for my homes! I got two phones! One for the bullies, and one for my friends. You think I need two phones? I'm so popular! Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Very good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You're feeling this right now. You're gonna feel my energy, and I'm gonna feel your energy.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Are you able to heal people through touch still?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, just like, uh, I was able to do with your cameraman earlier.<br />
<br />
[''Video cuts to a brief clip of them at the mall'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm gonna just temporarily shift you into the red.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You feel a sting?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': A little bit.<br />
<br />
[''Brief clip ends, video resumes to the park'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': As far as everybody knows, [[Big Island House|I'm living there by myself]]. I'm taking care of the bills and everything. Let's just say I do have somebody that handle- that helps me with the tax details, but aside from that, I'm decent. I'm good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So how- how was your experience in jail for all that time?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Very meditative. I was really able to just disconnect from the technology and Internet and whatnot during the time. Really found myself, and that's the thing on developing your personal maturity. You s- you soul search.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, a question that I had is, um, you know, you got out on bail. Were you able to get out on bail at any time if someone bailed you out?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm not sure... I don't think that w- I- if I remember correctly, I don't believe that was an option... or, yeah- This is obviously circumstance, didn't really have anybody at the time, yada, yada, yada. Yeah, obviously I'm using a [[Seinfeld]] reference! Yada, yada, yada! So here's my paraphrasing from the first Sonic movie: So, as I crash into the cold, dark waters of the Atlantic, I realized a few things. A: I know where I'm going, but I only have some idea of how to get there. B: Salt water stings, but I can swim! And C: I shouldn't even be here right now, but I am. Why? Because they betrayed me! THEY BETRAYED ME! And I still don't know whether or not- who was the better kister- Josh- miss better kisser- [[Josh Moon]] or Judas Iscariot?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You- I know you have said that Josh Moon is a reincarnation of Judas. Do you still stand by that? <br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, I think I did not say it was a reincarnation of Judas, I just- I just like, you know, the comparison.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, sounds good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': But anyway...<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When- when did you end up getting back in touch with her? Were you allowed to right after you got out of, uh, jail?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Yeah, obviously, uh, yes. After that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': The charges were dropped.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes. And to make this clear, I never ever wished for [[Barbara]]'s [[death]]. I never ever did that, I was making it on the general preliminary line, on, like, you know, either during the near future or just like years in the future when that would happen with Barbara. But I never ever wished for it, period.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You say in this timeline, the, you know, what you were arrested for, um, didn't happen. On another timeline, did it happen?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That would be a remotely distant one, [''stuttering''] the fact that- it came about from the manifestation from [[Bella]]'s mind when she came up with that roleplay fanfiction for one thing. And also, that was among the shipping fanfics from among the, uh- among the mixed fans I have. It came out even years before that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So there is a timeline but you've never been on that timeline before?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That's right. We were never on that timeline.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, just making sure. A lot of people have that question of like, if the timeline ever merged to this during the inter[[dimensional merge]], or something along those lines.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, obviously, you know, as you can look up online, and ask any psychic, the timeline does shift here around- here and there, sometimes crossing into other timelines, but it did not cross into that. And just- the only way it did- it is- the only way it did that, it was through Bella. At that point.<br />
<br />
23:33 &ndash; [''Middling narration of events centered around Chris's [[Jail Saga|stay in jail]] and the [[Goddess Log]] commences.'']<br />
<br />
36:15 &ndash; [''Middling narration stops at the mention of [[Isabella Janke]].'']<br />
<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars talks to the camera in an {{w|Airbnb}}, then that footage's audio plays over footage of him opening the door for Chris to enter'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So right now, uh, we're going to have Christine over to our Airbnb. We tried to get access to [[Transgender|her]] apartment, but she didn't feel comfortable with us going over there currently. We also tried to see if we could go and do a road trip [[14 Branchland Court|to see Barb]], but, uh, she didn't seem against it, but she didn't want to do it right now. So, I dunno, maybe some other time. But it's clear she still has access to Barb. So, yeah, we'll- we'll hang out here and, uh, I dunno, just do a couple of activities, hang out, maybe cook a bit, maybe draw a bit, and, uh, see where the day takes us.<br />
<br />
Hello, Christine! Come right in!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Hey! Hey, viewers at home! [''Video cuts to Chris looking out the balcony''] That's a great view! [''yodeling noises, then the video cuts to Chris and TheGamerFromMars at a table'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, let's see what- what do you wanna draw today?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''[[Stress sigh|sigh]]''] I figured I'd just keep it simple, I'm gonna do a simple Sonichu and Ro- Sonichu and Rosie drawing. [''Chris covers his mouth to burp''] Pardon me.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': How many drawings of Sonichu do you think you have done at this point?<br />
[[File:Authentic Love Conquers Hate & Fake March 2024.png|thumb|200px|What Chris ended up drawing. TheGamerFromMars presumably kept it.]]<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Quite the massive number. You buy something off [[Etsy]], you're not exactly gonna get the same quality twice. There's- there's bound to be an error or two along the way.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what percentage of your day is, uh, working on the [[OfficialCWCmart|Etsy store]] and doing the [[OfficialCWCmart commissions|commissions]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [[Chris and work|Decent amount]]. There's outsourcing, of course. Sheesh, I made Sonichu a little gruff looking, even from the side view.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What's still at the [[Old Temple|old house]] of yours? Do you still have any of the- the old collections?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, a bunch of the old collections, yes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When was the last time you were there visiting Barb?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Um, actually earlier this month. I'm vi- I visit- I'm visiting- I visit once a month these days.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what if someone wanted a [[Rick and Morty|Pickle Rick]] in a picture like this? How much extra would that cost as a commission?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Can't put Pickle Rick in a drawing like this. It don't work.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What if someone, like, wanted to pay a lot of money to make it happen though? Is there- is there a price or do you just have the artistic merit? Where you'll- you'll never do it for a million dollars.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Merit. [''Chris gives the drawing to TheGamerFromMars''] There you are, with my compliments.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Thank you very much! So, you talked a bit about [[Andy Warhol]]. Do you think you're better than him? Or on the same level? What do you feel?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'd say decently on the same level, though more [[Chris and socialization|socially outgoing]].<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Do you have limits of what you'll draw?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes, I do have my boundaries. Definitely nothing NSFW and no gore. I mean, just rule of thumb, if it cannot be aired on {{w|Nickelodeon}} or {{w|Cartoon Network}}, ''no''.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What about [[Adult Swim]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, Adult Swim don't count in that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay.<br />
<br />

[[File:LoadInstall.png|thumb|[[THE DIMENSIONAL MERGE IS HAPPENING NOW!|Any minute now.]] ({{w|The Shining (film)|Paging Stanley Kubrick!}})]]<br />
'''''The Chris Chan Conspiracy''''' is a documentary film series created by '''TheGamerFromMars''' (real name: '''Arthur James McDaniel'''), a channel dedicated to covering strange individuals and odd phenomena. Chris, having gained his own cult following on the internet, was one of the most requested topics for TheGamerFromMars to cover, so he pulled out all the stops to make a four episode series with an approximate runtime of five hours. Despite the suggestion of the title, no [[Conspiracy theories|conspiracy]] concerning Chris Chan is actually chattered about, and that choice of word is only there for alliterative purposes.<br />
<br />
This documentary is more detailed than [[Chris Chan Documentary (Sachumo)|Sachumo's]] and covers a much greater period of time than that documentary, but it is less in‑depth and more succinct in comparison to [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History|Geno Samuel's documentary]]. The documentary makes use of several previously unseen interactions between TheGamerFromMars and [[Copitz]] with Chris at [[14 Branchland Court]], [[Ruckersville, VA|Ruckersville]], and [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]], which were filmed in [[December 2019]], showcasing Chris's daily life and providing additional insight into his hobbies and public behavior, along with [[Chris and reality|his descent into his delusions]]. Sections of Chris's life are depicted in the form of [[Chris and art|artwork resembling Chris's own]].<br />
<br />
A trailer for ''The Chris Chan Conspiracy'' was uploaded onto [[YouTube]] on 18 March 2022, and the series proper ran from 19 [[March 2022]] to 9 [[April 2022]], covering everything from how [[Borb|Chris's parents]] met to [[Jail Saga|Chris being sent to a mental hospital]].<br />
<br />
In [[October 2023]], TheGamerFromMars mentioned in a podcast that he was sending DMs to Chris, and that he had liked one of them.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNycj18vCYg&t=12s</ref><br />
<br />
TheGamerFromMars met with Chris in [[March 2024]] at the River Ridge Mall in [[Lynchburg, VA]] to record a segment for the fifth episode in the series, which premiered on 11 [[April 2025]].<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#River Ridge Mall (March, second sighting)]]</ref> Notably, TheGamerFromMars communicated and collaborated with [[Praetor]], receiving full exclusive access to the yet-to-be-released [[Goddess Logs]] (Chris's jail diary).<br />

===Analysis===<br />
TheGamerFromMars is introduced to Chris. The crew first visit [[Chris's room]], where he films an "intro". At Copitz's wish, they make their way to the [[gazebo]], where they sit in the dark for a little while. They call it a day and awkwardly leave.<br />

<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars walks to his car, then is shown driving'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So for years now people have been asking me to do a video talking about Chris Chan, and the problem is, I just never knew where to begin on the subject. So for the past month now, I've been trying to get in touch with Chris Chan in any way I could, uh, but after all that failed, I messaged [[Copitz]], he responded right away and asked me if I wanted to do an interview with Chris Chan, and the answer to that was "absolutely yes", so within a few days I get a cameraman and I am heading down&mdash;couple hours&mdash;making a roadtrip out of it&mdash;to meet the notorious Chris Chan in person.<br />
<br />
And this is the street. Is that it?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': I… mean, that looks&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': [[Son-Chu|Sonichu]]! Look!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Sonichu…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Zoom in on the license plate.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hold on&mldr; huh&hyphen;huh&mldr; see if I can get that.<br />
<br />
[''They exit the car.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Hello!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hello ! Hi!<br />
<br />
[''Hellish, still distant wailing from [[Snoopy and Clover]]. Worse is to come.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Hey guys! How's it going?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hey! How are you?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Art? Is that right?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': How's it going?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': I'm Jesse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Jesse, nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': It's an honor to meet you!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Nice to meet you too.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Christine, hello. I'm Jesse, nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, Jesse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Alright, suppose we can go inside.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': [''mumbles''] Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''stutters''] We're gonna do the interview downstairs.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yeah&mdash;<br />
<br />

<br />

'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Go [?] downstairs. [''Goes upstairs'']<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Snoopy, no! Quiet down, quiet down! Quiet! quiet! Alright, everybody's inside.<br />
<br />
[''The crew are taken aback by [[Chris's room#New room|Chris's room]].'']<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': O-kay&mldr; [''Films the walls. Copitz nods understandingly. Chris talks to the dogs in the background.''] Alright, well&mldr; this is, uh&mldr; very nice! [''Cameraman zooms in on the sheet of paper pictured above'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yes! [''indistinct''] uploaded&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Yes, this is the room where it was all made!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': This is where it all&mldr;<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Yeah! [''laughs'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': They calm down after a little bit sometimes.<br />
<br />

<br />
[''Cut to Chris sitting on his bed.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [[Joe Biden|The thing&mdash; is that thing]] on right now?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah, is that okay?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Oh. Yeah. Hello! Hello dear ip&mdash; hello dear YouTube and the Internet, all that! Hello! Hello. Hope y'all having a good day. There is your intro. Kinda.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah. Kinda. [''laughs'']<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': …I guess, like maybe wanna go to [[McDonald's]] or something like that, or we can hang out in the gazebo, maybe…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh… well it's dark out, now&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': It is.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': &mldr;so, might not&mdash; not&mdash; be able to see the gazebo…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': That's true.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': &mldr;but I can&mldr; point it out, it's, uh, you know, behind the house, and, you know where the [[Duck|pen is]], the green of the fence right at the, that's, alongside the road there, and then&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Uh, I haven't seen it.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Oof, anyway, you're driving down Westwood,&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Right.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': and you look to your right. You see, you will see a doghouse before you see&mldr; [''dogs start making noise again''] the… the, the, the pen&mdash;the gazebo's behind the doghouse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Gotcha, I gotcha. Okay.<br />
<br />
[''The two dogs bark deafeningly from the stairs. Chris talks inaudibly. Everybody exits. Cut to Chris holding a flashlight in the yard.'']<br />

<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yes! [''groan'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Alright.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''inaudible'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': It's a very low gazebo.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yeah, it is, ha ha.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You gotta watch your head if you're more than&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': So, I'm able to, I'm able to stand, barely, but&mldr; at five ten.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Ah&mldr; If you're {{W|Brad Garrett}} you'd have to hunch down.<br />
<br />

===Analysis===<br />
The live‑action segments focus exclusively on [[Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder]]. In an arrangement reminiscent of a childhood sleepover, Chris single‑mindedly forces his guests to play his autistic twist on an autistic game. After two awkward hours, Copitz manages to put an end to the agony by winning.<br />

She ships herself, her friends, and her family together, regardless of relation, orientation, or harmonious mane&dash;and&hyphen;coat color combination.

If you are the first to make one of Twilight's narrative goals a reality, you earn the points for that goal! Of course, you also earn the shame of enabling Twilight's horrible penchant of shipping her friends, but nobody's perfect. [''shrill cackle'']<br />

<br />
===Analysis===<br />
Certainly the most eventful of the episodes, its two halves feature Chris in complementary, yet equally unusual dispositions.<br />
<br />
The first half sees Chris [[stress]]edly struggling to accommodate a [[Tetris 99]] session in his disaster of a room, culminating in an unexpected outburst.<br />
<br />
Watching Chris struggle with uncooperative electronics, with a camera on him, in a space so cluttered as to give you sensory overload, with the deafening and constant braying of the tortured dogs, is an anxiety&hyphen;inducing experience. Chris's slip is therefore one of his most understandable, yet still manages to leave the viewer with a bitter taste. Indeed, the collected episodes of tard rage we've gotten from Chris have been directed at immaterial threats in the sole company of his camera; aggression in a social setting is actually quite unlike Chris, especially as of late with his cultivation of a superior, transcendent image.<br />
<br />
Chris does have the social awareness to at least realize his mistake, and immediately tries to mend the situation by adopting a goofy tone. However, one gets the impression that his subsequent autistic stomping to shut the dogs up was conditioned by a "might as well" attitude after the cat was out of the bag.<br />
<br />
The second half sees Chris in an entirely different disposition: freed from his house of horrors, he happily prances around Charlottesville's Downtown Mall. The crew enter an Indian restaurant, which sets off Chris's [[random access humor]] and prompts him to do an {{W|Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu}} impression. His companions hurriedly shush him. Besides this, Chris acts uncharacteristically well&hyphen;adjusted and makes small talk with the waiter. Outside, Chris is accosted by a female fan who asks for a picture.<br />

===Background===<br />
[[File:RiverRidgeMall 18March2024.jpeg|270px|thumb|right|The meeting, photographed by an onlooker before its release.]]<br />
On 9 [[April 2024]] TheGamerFromMars appeared on episode 122 of Some Ordinary Podcast. TheGamerFromMars confirmed that he had met with Chris [[March 2024|the month prior]] to work on part 5 to The Chris Chan Conspiracy series. He also revealed that SomeOrdinaryGamers was originally going to come with him to meet Chris, but couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts. He claimed that Chris made both of them custom medallions. TheGamerFromMars said that Chris was more "mentally with it" and was better at not oversharing compared to the previous time they had met at the end of [[2019]]. He also said that Chris visits Barbara about once a month. TheGamerFromMars tried to go visit her with Chris, but couldn't due to the timing of the visit not working out. He mentioned that he briefly spoke with "[[Praetor|a team that runs all the financials]]" and called them a "solid group of people," as well as saying they seemed "pretty well-intentioned."<br />

I'm connected with the literal- literal core and matrix of this universe as depicted, [''???''] universe by that- eye-looking thing with a star- with a star gem in the middle. I, uh, foreknew what was gonna happen, but then it... did happen—I was put into jail, accused of all those of which I was wrongfully false witness for... which obviously not- I mean, shoot. Even when you're conversing with one another, you're [[Soul Bonding]] that way. But, if you're feeling any doubt—because demons stem from doubt—if you have any doubt, those demons are gonna come right into you and just affect your mind- your mindset and thinking!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': That was- that was quite the- quite the s- uh, uh, amount of information to comprehend.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, it is. But, uh, yeah, I do have a few friends I talk with about that. And, uh, definitely gonna plug this in- So I started doing, uh, me versus [[AI]], [[AI Chris Chan Vs Christ Chan|in the regards of a "SingStar" competition]]. [''A little bit better?''] hey, versus a computer that can replicate singing and voicing in a way- but hey, that AI ''cannot adjust the pitch all the way from the nose down to the deep, deep base of the throat.'' [''loud siren-like wailing''] And they teach you that in- in voice acting and singing classes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': I don't think I've ever known that before.<br />
<br />
4:33 &ndash; [''Middling narration of events centered around the time of Chris's [[Incest Arrest|2021 arrest]] commences.'']<br />

<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars drives his car, then that footage's audio plays over footage of him walking with Chris at the Riverfront Park in [[Lynchburg]], Virginia'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': -st, uh, now we are headed over to a park of some sort, so we're just following the car that says "Sonichu" on it.<br />
<br />
Oh, jeez.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I got two-<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You got two phones!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I got two phones! One for the trolls, and one for my homes! I got two phones! One for the bullies, and one for my friends. You think I need two phones? I'm so popular! Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Very good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You're feeling this right now. You're gonna feel my energy, and I'm gonna feel your energy.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Are you able to heal people through touch still?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, just like, uh, I was able to do with your cameraman earlier.<br />
<br />
[''Video cuts to a brief clip of them at the mall'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm gonna just temporarily shift you into the red.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You feel a sting?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': A little bit.<br />
<br />
[''Brief clip ends, video resumes to the park'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': As far as everybody knows, [[Big Island House|I'm living there by myself]]. I'm taking care of the bills and everything. Let's just say I do have somebody that handle- that helps me with the tax details, but aside from that, I'm decent. I'm good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So how- how was your experience in jail for all that time?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Very meditative. I was really able to just disconnect from the technology and Internet and whatnot during the time. Really found myself, and that's the thing on developing your personal maturity. You s- you soul search.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, a question that I had is, um, you know, you got out on bail. Were you able to get out on bail at any time if someone bailed you out?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm not sure... I don't think that w- I- if I remember correctly, I don't believe that was an option... or, yeah- This is obviously circumstance, didn't really have anybody at the time, yada, yada, yada. Yeah, obviously I'm using a [[Seinfeld]] reference! Yada, yada, yada! So here's my paraphrasing from the first Sonic movie: So, as I crash into the cold, dark waters of the Atlantic, I realized a few things. A: I know where I'm going, but I only have some idea of how to get there. B: Salt water stings, but I can swim! And C: I shouldn't even be here right now, but I am. Why? Because they betrayed me! THEY BETRAYED ME! And I still don't know whether or not- who was the better kister- Josh- miss better kisser- [[Josh Moon]] or Judas Iscariot?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You- I know you have said that Josh Moon is a reincarnation of Judas. Do you still stand by that? <br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, I think I did not say it was a reincarnation of Judas, I just- I just like, you know, the comparison.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, sounds good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': But anyway...<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When- when did you end up getting back in touch with her? Were you allowed to right after you got out of, uh, jail?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Yeah, obviously, uh, yes. After that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': The charges were dropped.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes. And to make this clear, I never ever wished for [[Barbara]]'s [[death]]. I never ever did that, I was making it on the general preliminary line, on, like, you know, either during the near future or just like years in the future when that would happen with Barbara. But I never ever wished for it, period.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You say in this timeline, the, you know, what you were arrested for, um, didn't happen. On another timeline, did it happen?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That would be a remotely distant one, [''stuttering''] the fact that- it came about from the manifestation from [[Bella]]'s mind when she came up with that roleplay fanfiction for one thing. And also, that was among the shipping fanfics from among the, uh- among the mixed fans I have. It came out even years before that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So there is a timeline but you've never been on that timeline before?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That's right. We were never on that timeline.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, just making sure. A lot of people have that question of like, if the timeline ever merged to this during the inter[[dimensional merge]], or something along those lines.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, obviously, you know, as you can look up online, and ask any psychic, the timeline does shift here around- here and there, sometimes crossing into other timelines, but it did not cross into that. And just- the only way it did- it is- the only way it did that, it was through Bella. At that point.<br />
<br />
23:33 &ndash; [''Middling narration of events centered around Chris's [[Jail Saga|stay in jail]] and the [[Goddess Log]] commences.'']<br />
<br />
36:15 &ndash; [''Middling narration stops at the mention of [[Isabella Janke]].'']<br />
<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars talks to the camera in an {{w|Airbnb}}, then that footage's audio plays over footage of him opening the door for Chris to enter'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So right now, uh, we're going to have Christine over to our Airbnb. We tried to get access to [[Transgender|her]] apartment, but she didn't feel comfortable with us going over there currently. We also tried to see if we could go and do a road trip [[14 Branchland Court|to see Barb]], but, uh, she didn't seem against it, but she didn't want to do it right now. So, I dunno, maybe some other time. But it's clear she still has access to Barb. So, yeah, we'll- we'll hang out here and, uh, I dunno, just do a couple of activities, hang out, maybe cook a bit, maybe draw a bit, and, uh, see where the day takes us.<br />
<br />
Hello, Christine! Come right in!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Hey! Hey, viewers at home! [''Video cuts to Chris looking out the balcony''] That's a great view! [''yodeling noises, then the video cuts to Chris and TheGamerFromMars at a table'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, let's see what- what do you wanna draw today?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''[[Stress sigh|sigh]]''] I figured I'd just keep it simple, I'm gonna do a simple Sonichu and Ro- Sonichu and Rosie drawing. [''Chris covers his mouth to burp''] Pardon me.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': How many drawings of Sonichu do you think you have done at this point?<br />
[[File:Authentic Love Conquers Hate & Fake March 2024.png|thumb|200px|What Chris ended up drawing. TheGamerFromMars presumably kept it.]]<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Quite the massive number. You buy something off [[Etsy]], you're not exactly gonna get the same quality twice. There's- there's bound to be an error or two along the way.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what percentage of your day is, uh, working on the [[OfficialCWCmart|Etsy store]] and doing the [[OfficialCWCmart commissions|commissions]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [[Chris and work|Decent amount]]. There's outsourcing, of course. Sheesh, I made Sonichu a little gruff looking, even from the side view.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What's still at the [[Old Temple|old house]] of yours? Do you still have any of the- the old collections?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, a bunch of the old collections, yes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When was the last time you were there visiting Barb?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Um, actually earlier this month. I'm vi- I visit- I'm visiting- I visit once a month these days.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what if someone wanted a [[Rick and Morty|Pickle Rick]] in a picture like this? How much extra would that cost as a commission?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Can't put Pickle Rick in a drawing like this. It don't work.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What if someone, like, wanted to pay a lot of money to make it happen though? Is there- is there a price or do you just have the artistic merit? Where you'll- you'll never do it for a million dollars.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Merit. [''Chris gives the drawing to TheGamerFromMars''] There you are, with my compliments.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Thank you very much! So, you talked a bit about [[Andy Warhol]]. Do you think you're better than him? Or on the same level? What do you feel?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'd say decently on the same level, though more [[Chris and socialization|socially outgoing]].<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Do you have limits of what you'll draw?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes, I do have my boundaries. Definitely nothing NSFW and no gore. I mean, just rule of thumb, if it cannot be aired on {{w|Nickelodeon}} or {{w|Cartoon Network}}, ''no''.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What about [[Adult Swim]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, Adult Swim don't count in that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay.<br />
<br />
38:27 &ndash; [''Middling narration of events centered around Chris's [[Jail Saga|final months in jail]] and his return to the Internet commences.'']<br />

[[File:LoadInstall.png|thumb|[[THE DIMENSIONAL MERGE IS HAPPENING NOW!|Any minute now.]] ({{w|The Shining (film)|Paging Stanley Kubrick!}})]]<br />
'''''The Chris Chan Conspiracy''''' is a documentary film series created by '''TheGamerFromMars''' (real name: '''Arthur James McDaniel'''), a channel dedicated to covering strange individuals and odd phenomena. Chris, having gained his own cult following on the internet, was one of the most requested topics for TheGamerFromMars to cover, so he pulled out all the stops to make a four episode series with an approximate runtime of five hours. Despite the suggestion of the title, no [[Conspiracy theories|conspiracy]] concerning Chris Chan is actually chattered about, and that choice of word is only there for alliterative purposes.<br />
<br />
This documentary is more detailed than [[Chris Chan Documentary (Sachumo)|Sachumo's]] and covers a much greater period of time than that documentary, but it is less in‑depth and more succinct in comparison to [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History|Geno Samuel's documentary]]. The documentary makes use of several previously unseen interactions between TheGamerFromMars and [[Copitz]] with Chris at [[14 Branchland Court]], [[Ruckersville, VA|Ruckersville]], and [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]], which were filmed in [[December 2019]], showcasing Chris's daily life and providing additional insight into his hobbies and public behavior, along with [[Chris and reality|his descent into his delusions]]. Sections of Chris's life are depicted in the form of [[Chris and art|artwork resembling Chris's own]].<br />
<br />
A trailer for ''The Chris Chan Conspiracy'' was uploaded onto [[YouTube]] on 18 March 2022, and the series proper ran from 19 [[March 2022]] to 9 [[April 2022]], covering everything from how [[Borb|Chris's parents]] met to [[Jail Saga|Chris being sent to a mental hospital]].<br />
<br />
In [[October 2023]], TheGamerFromMars mentioned in a podcast that he was sending DMs to Chris, and that he had liked one of them.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNycj18vCYg&t=12s</ref><br />
<br />
TheGamerFromMars met with Chris in [[March 2024]] at the River Ridge Mall in [[Lynchburg, VA]] to record a segment for the fifth episode in the series, which premiered on 11 [[April 2025]].<ref>[[Sightings (2024)#River Ridge Mall (March, second sighting)]]</ref> Notably, TheGamerFromMars communicated and collaborated with [[Praetor]], receiving full exclusive access to the yet-to-be-released [[Goddess Logs]] (Chris's jail diary).<br />

===Analysis===<br />
TheGamerFromMars is introduced to Chris. The crew first visit [[Chris's room]], where he films an "intro". At Copitz's wish, they make their way to the [[gazebo]], where they sit in the dark for a little while. They call it a day and awkwardly leave.<br />

<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars walks to his car, then is shown driving'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So for years now people have been asking me to do a video talking about Chris Chan, and the problem is, I just never knew where to begin on the subject. So for the past month now, I've been trying to get in touch with Chris Chan in any way I could, uh, but after all that failed, I messaged [[Copitz]], he responded right away and asked me if I wanted to do an interview with Chris Chan, and the answer to that was "absolutely yes", so within a few days I get a cameraman and I am heading down&mdash;couple hours&mdash;making a roadtrip out of it&mdash;to meet the notorious Chris Chan in person.<br />
<br />
And this is the street. Is that it?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': I… mean, that looks&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': [[Son-Chu|Sonichu]]! Look!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Sonichu…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Zoom in on the license plate.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hold on&mldr; huh&hyphen;huh&mldr; see if I can get that.<br />
<br />
[''They exit the car.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Hello!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hello ! Hi!<br />
<br />
[''Hellish, still distant wailing from [[Snoopy and Clover]]. Worse is to come.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Hey guys! How's it going?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Hey! How are you?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Art? Is that right?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': How's it going?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': I'm Jesse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Jesse, nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': It's an honor to meet you!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Nice to meet you too.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Christine, hello. I'm Jesse, nice to meet you.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, Jesse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Alright, suppose we can go inside.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': [''mumbles''] Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''stutters''] We're gonna do the interview downstairs.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yeah&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay. Ha-ha-ha.<br />
<br />
[''The dogs begin barking torturedly and torturously. Cameraman zooms in on license plate.'']<br />
<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Go [?] downstairs. [''Goes upstairs'']<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Snoopy, no! Quiet down, quiet down! Quiet! quiet! Alright, everybody's inside.<br />
<br />
[''The crew are taken aback by [[Chris's room#New room|Chris's room]].'']<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': O-kay&mldr; [''Films the walls. Copitz nods understandingly. Chris talks to the dogs in the background.''] Alright, well&mldr; this is, uh&mldr; very nice! [''Cameraman zooms in on the sheet of paper pictured above'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Yes! [''indistinct''] uploaded&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Yes, this is the room where it was all made!<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': This is where it all&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Sonic&hyphen;chu!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Those dogs are screaming bloody murder!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Yeah! [''laughs'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': They calm down after a little bit sometimes.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah, yeah.<br />
<br />
[''Cut to Chris sitting on his bed.'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [[Joe Biden|The thing&mdash; is that thing]] on right now?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah, is that okay?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Oh. Yeah. Hello! Hello dear ip&mdash; hello dear YouTube and the Internet, all that! Hello! Hello. Hope y'all having a good day. There is your intro. Kinda.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Yeah. Kinda. [''laughs'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': [''laughs'']<br />
<br />

<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': …I guess, like maybe wanna go to [[McDonald's]] or something like that, or we can hang out in the gazebo, maybe…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh… well it's dark out, now&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': It is.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': &mldr;so, might not&mdash; not&mdash; be able to see the gazebo…<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': That's true.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': &mldr;but I can&mldr; point it out, it's, uh, you know, behind the house, and, you know where the [[Duck|pen is]], the green of the fence right at the, that's, alongside the road there, and then&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Uh, I haven't seen it.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Oof, anyway, you're driving down Westwood,&mldr;<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Right.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': and you look to your right. You see, you will see a doghouse before you see&mldr; [''dogs start making noise again''] the… the, the, the pen&mdash;the gazebo's behind the doghouse.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|green|Copitz}}''': Gotcha, I gotcha. Okay.<br />
<br />
[''The two dogs bark deafeningly from the stairs. Chris talks inaudibly. Everybody exits. Cut to Chris holding a flashlight in the yard.'']<br />

===Analysis===<br />
The live‑action segments focus exclusively on [[Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder]]. In an arrangement reminiscent of a childhood sleepover, Chris single‑mindedly forces his guests to play his autistic twist on an autistic game. After two awkward hours, Copitz manages to put an end to the agony by winning.<br />

If you are the first to make one of Twilight's narrative goals a reality, you earn the points for that goal! Of course, you also earn the shame of enabling Twilight's horrible penchant of shipping her friends, but nobody's perfect. [''shrill cackle'']<br />

<br />
===Analysis===<br />
Certainly the most eventful of the episodes, its two halves feature Chris in complementary, yet equally unusual dispositions.<br />
<br />
The first half sees Chris [[stress]]edly struggling to accommodate a [[Tetris 99]] session in his disaster of a room, culminating in an unexpected outburst.<br />
<br />
Watching Chris struggle with uncooperative electronics, with a camera on him, in a space so cluttered as to give you sensory overload, with the deafening and constant braying of the tortured dogs, is an anxiety&hyphen;inducing experience. Chris's slip is therefore one of his most understandable, yet still manages to leave the viewer with a bitter taste. Indeed, the collected episodes of tard rage we've gotten from Chris have been directed at immaterial threats in the sole company of his camera; aggression in a social setting is actually quite unlike Chris, especially as of late with his cultivation of a superior, transcendent image.<br />
<br />
Chris does have the social awareness to at least realize his mistake, and immediately tries to mend the situation by adopting a goofy tone. However, one gets the impression that his subsequent autistic stomping to shut the dogs up was conditioned by a "might as well" attitude after the cat was out of the bag.<br />
<br />
The second half sees Chris in an entirely different disposition: freed from his house of horrors, he happily prances around Charlottesville's Downtown Mall. The crew enter an Indian restaurant, which sets off Chris's [[random access humor]] and prompts him to do an {{W|Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu}} impression. His companions hurriedly shush him. Besides this, Chris acts uncharacteristically well&hyphen;adjusted and makes small talk with the waiter. Outside, Chris is accosted by a female fan who asks for a picture.<br />

===Background===<br />
[[File:RiverRidgeMall 18March2024.jpeg|270px|thumb|right|The meeting, photographed by an onlooker before its release.]]<br />
On 9 [[April 2024]] TheGamerFromMars appeared on episode 122 of Some Ordinary Podcast. TheGamerFromMars confirmed that he had met with Chris [[March 2024|the month prior]] to work on part 5 to The Chris Chan Conspiracy series. He also revealed that SomeOrdinaryGamers was originally going to come with him to meet Chris, but couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts. He claimed that Chris made both of them custom medallions. TheGamerFromMars said that Chris was more "mentally with it" and was better at not oversharing compared to the previous time they had met at the end of [[2019]]. He also said that Chris visits Barbara about once a month. TheGamerFromMars tried to go visit her with Chris, but couldn't due to the timing of the visit not working out. He mentioned that he briefly spoke with "[[Praetor|a team that runs all the financials]]" and called them a "solid group of people," as well as saying they seemed "pretty well-intentioned."<br />

'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You know why they call it '{{w|Chicken Soup for the Soul}}'?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Why?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Because chicken soup is neutrally- is a neutral good healing. I'm [[Chris and religion|multi-religious]]. I mean, physically, I actually am point f- about .01% Ashkenazi Jewish as proven by [[CWC Ancestry|23andMe]]. I- My apologies for, uh, not being specific on the name but my conscious memory—you can only take in so much at a time. Cuz I'm literally connected with the Akashic records and everything that is, and was, and will be. I'm connected with the literal- literal core and matrix of this universe as depicted, [''???''] universe by that- eye-looking thing with a star- with a star gem in the middle. I, uh, foreknew what was gonna happen, but then it... did happen—I was put into jail, accused of all those of which I was wrongfully false witness for... which obviously not- I mean, shoot. Even when you're conversing with one another, you're [[Soul Bonding]] that way. But, if you're feeling any doubt—because demons stem from doubt—if you have any doubt, those demons are gonna come right into you and just affect your mind- your mindset and thinking!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': That was- that was quite the- quite the s- uh, uh, amount of information to comprehend.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, it is. But, uh, yeah, I do have a few friends I talk with about that. And, uh, definitely gonna plug this in- So I started doing, uh, me versus [[AI]], [[AI Chris Chan Vs Christ Chan|in the regards of a "SingStar" competition]]. [''A little bit better?''] hey, versus a computer that can replicate singing and voicing in a way- but hey, that AI ''cannot adjust the pitch all the way from the nose down to the deep, deep base of the throat.'' [''loud siren-like wailing''] And they teach you that in- in voice acting and singing classes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': I don't think I've ever known that before.<br />
<br />
4:33 &ndash; [''Middling narration of events centered around the time of Chris's [[Incest Arrest|2021 arrest]] commences.'']<br />
<br />
20:16 &ndash; [''Middling narration stops at the mention of [[Randy Stair]] and [[WCT]].'']<br />
<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars drives his car, then that footage's audio plays over footage of him walking with Chris at the Riverfront Park in [[Lynchburg]], Virginia'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': -st, uh, now we are headed over to a park of some sort, so we're just following the car that says "Sonichu" on it.<br />
<br />
Oh, jeez.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I got two-<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You got two phones!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I got two phones! One for the trolls, and one for my homes! I got two phones! One for the bullies, and one for my friends. You think I need two phones? I'm so popular! Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Very good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You're feeling this right now. You're gonna feel my energy, and I'm gonna feel your energy.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Are you able to heal people through touch still?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, just like, uh, I was able to do with your cameraman earlier.<br />
<br />
[''Video cuts to a brief clip of them at the mall'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm gonna just temporarily shift you into the red.<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': Okay.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': You feel a sting?<br />
<br />
'''Cameraman''': A little bit.<br />
<br />
[''Brief clip ends, video resumes to the park'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': As far as everybody knows, [[Big Island House|I'm living there by myself]]. I'm taking care of the bills and everything. Let's just say I do have somebody that handle- that helps me with the tax details, but aside from that, I'm decent. I'm good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So how- how was your experience in jail for all that time?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Very meditative. I was really able to just disconnect from the technology and Internet and whatnot during the time. Really found myself, and that's the thing on developing your personal maturity. You s- you soul search.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, a question that I had is, um, you know, you got out on bail. Were you able to get out on bail at any time if someone bailed you out?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'm not sure... I don't think that w- I- if I remember correctly, I don't believe that was an option... or, yeah- This is obviously circumstance, didn't really have anybody at the time, yada, yada, yada. Yeah, obviously I'm using a [[Seinfeld]] reference! Yada, yada, yada! So here's my paraphrasing from the first Sonic movie: So, as I crash into the cold, dark waters of the Atlantic, I realized a few things. A: I know where I'm going, but I only have some idea of how to get there. B: Salt water stings, but I can swim! And C: I shouldn't even be here right now, but I am. Why? Because they betrayed me! THEY BETRAYED ME! And I still don't know whether or not- who was the better kister- Josh- miss better kisser- [[Josh Moon]] or Judas Iscariot?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You- I know you have said that Josh Moon is a reincarnation of Judas. Do you still stand by that? <br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, I think I did not say it was a reincarnation of Judas, I just- I just like, you know, the comparison.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, sounds good.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': But anyway...<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When- when did you end up getting back in touch with her? Were you allowed to right after you got out of, uh, jail?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Yeah, obviously, uh, yes. After that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': The charges were dropped.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes. And to make this clear, I never ever wished for [[Barbara]]'s [[death]]. I never ever did that, I was making it on the general preliminary line, on, like, you know, either during the near future or just like years in the future when that would happen with Barbara. But I never ever wished for it, period.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': You say in this timeline, the, you know, what you were arrested for, um, didn't happen. On another timeline, did it happen?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That would be a remotely distant one, [''stuttering''] the fact that- it came about from the manifestation from [[Bella]]'s mind when she came up with that roleplay fanfiction for one thing. And also, that was among the shipping fanfics from among the, uh- among the mixed fans I have. It came out even years before that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So there is a timeline but you've never been on that timeline before?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': That's right. We were never on that timeline.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay, just making sure. A lot of people have that question of like, if the timeline ever merged to this during the inter[[dimensional merge]], or something along those lines.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah, obviously, you know, as you can look up online, and ask any psychic, the timeline does shift here around- here and there, sometimes crossing into other timelines, but it did not cross into that. And just- the only way it did- it is- the only way it did that, it was through Bella. At that point.<br />
<br />
23:33 &ndash; [''Middling narration of events centered around Chris's [[Jail Saga|stay in jail]] and the [[Goddess Log]] commences.'']<br />
<br />
36:15 &ndash; [''Middling narration stops at the mention of [[Isabella Janke]].'']<br />
<br />
[''TheGamerFromMars talks to the camera in an {{w|Airbnb}}, then that footage's audio plays over footage of him opening the door for Chris to enter'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So right now, uh, we're going to have Christine over to our Airbnb. We tried to get access to [[Transgender|her]] apartment, but she didn't feel comfortable with us going over there currently. We also tried to see if we could go and do a road trip [[14 Branchland Court|to see Barb]], but, uh, she didn't seem against it, but she didn't want to do it right now. So, I dunno, maybe some other time. But it's clear she still has access to Barb. So, yeah, we'll- we'll hang out here and, uh, I dunno, just do a couple of activities, hang out, maybe cook a bit, maybe draw a bit, and, uh, see where the day takes us.<br />
<br />
Hello, Christine! Come right in!<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yeah. Hey! Hey, viewers at home! [''Video cuts to Chris looking out the balcony''] That's a great view! [''yodeling noises, then the video cuts to Chris and TheGamerFromMars at a table'']<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So, let's see what- what do you wanna draw today?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [''[[Stress sigh|sigh]]''] I figured I'd just keep it simple, I'm gonna do a simple Sonichu and Ro- Sonichu and Rosie drawing. [''Chris covers his mouth to burp''] Pardon me.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': How many drawings of Sonichu do you think you have done at this point?<br />
[[File:Authentic Love Conquers Hate & Fake March 2024.png|thumb|200px|What Chris ended up drawing. TheGamerFromMars presumably kept it.]]<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Quite the massive number. You buy something off [[Etsy]], you're not exactly gonna get the same quality twice. There's- there's bound to be an error or two along the way.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what percentage of your day is, uh, working on the [[OfficialCWCmart|Etsy store]] and doing the [[OfficialCWCmart commissions|commissions]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': [[Chris and work|Decent amount]]. There's outsourcing, of course. Sheesh, I made Sonichu a little gruff looking, even from the side view.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What's still at the [[Old Temple|old house]] of yours? Do you still have any of the- the old collections?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, a bunch of the old collections, yes.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': When was the last time you were there visiting Barb?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Um, actually earlier this month. I'm vi- I visit- I'm visiting- I visit once a month these days.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': So what if someone wanted a [[Rick and Morty|Pickle Rick]] in a picture like this? How much extra would that cost as a commission?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Can't put Pickle Rick in a drawing like this. It don't work.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What if someone, like, wanted to pay a lot of money to make it happen though? Is there- is there a price or do you just have the artistic merit? Where you'll- you'll never do it for a million dollars.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Merit. [''Chris gives the drawing to TheGamerFromMars''] There you are, with my compliments.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Thank you very much! So, you talked a bit about [[Andy Warhol]]. Do you think you're better than him? Or on the same level? What do you feel?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': I'd say decently on the same level, though more [[Chris and socialization|socially outgoing]].<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Do you have limits of what you'll draw?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Yes, I do have my boundaries. Definitely nothing NSFW and no gore. I mean, just rule of thumb, if it cannot be aired on {{w|Nickelodeon}} or {{w|Cartoon Network}}, ''no''.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': What about [[Adult Swim]]?<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#0033FF|Chris}}''': Uh, Adult Swim don't count in that.<br />
<br />
'''{{Color|#CB6D51|TheGamerFromMars}}''': Okay.<br />

'''Christine Weston Chandler''', previously known as '''Christian Weston Chandler''' (born: '''Christopher Weston Chandler'''; [[Chris's birthday|24 February]] [[1982]]) is a [[Chris and art|cartoonist]], [[YouTube]]r, and self-proclaimed [[CPU Blue Heart|deity]]. He is commonly referred to by his nickname '''Chris-Chan''' or '''Chris Chan''', by his initials '''CWC''', or simply the gender-neutral '''Chris'''. He is considered to be one of the most well-known and well-documented lolcows in Anglophone Internet culture, if not one of the most well-documented people in history. His life has transitioned from a bizarre curiosity of the early internet to a grim case study in mental illness, enabling, and the consequences of total digital transparency.<br />
<br />
Some would consider Chris to be a celebrity, but he hasn't sold a multi-platinum [[Chris and music|album]], nor has he been awarded with an [[Chris and cinematography|Oscar]]. Instead, he is the [[Things Chris has ripped off|creator]] of the webcomic series, ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', which ostensibly tells the story of an [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and his [[sweetheart]] [[Rosechu]] and their adventures with the [[Chaotic Combo]]. In practice, the webcomic really serves as [[Chris and coping#Power fantasies|wish fulfillment]] for Chris himself, allowing him to express his dissatisfaction with how [[Mary Lee Walsh|the faculty at school and college]] didn't acknowledge [[Honor roll|what he saw as an exemplary academic performance]] [[Count Graduon|when he graduated]], along with his frustration over [[Love Quest|being unable to find a romantic partner]]; as such, the book let him redirect his [[Chris and anger|anger]] toward [[Jerkop|the people who]] [[Manajerks|impeded his journey]], casting them as villains and himself as [[List of unheroic protagonist actions|a true Campbellian hero]] in his narrative. After completing his education, Chris was unemployed for most of his adult life, making a living off of [[Monthly tugboat|welfare]] and [[Patreon|donations]] from his webcomic's [[True and Loyal Fanbase]].<br />
<br />
In late [[2007]], he became [[Chris and the Internet|Internet]]-famous when images of him at [[The GAMe PLACe|a tabletop gaming store]] leaked out to the [[Something Awful]] message boards. Upon discovery, Chris was mocked for his [[Chris and fashion|odd fashion sense]] and [[Obesity|oafish appearance]], and images of Chris at the store soon spread to places like [[4-cent_garbage.com|4chan]] and [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], and in the process, many [[trolls]] were exposed to his webcomic for the first time, propelling Chris to stardom. Initial fascination was spurred on by his [[Chris and art|childlike artwork]], his signature homemade [[Medallions|Sonichu medallion]] that he wore in public, and his history of loitering in [[Attraction Locations|public places]] while literally holding up a [[Attraction Sign|sign]] asking women to talk to him. [[List of Chris's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica|His reaction to the ensuing mockery]] led to a cycle of [[Honest Content|Chris revealing more disturbing facts about himself]] and [[Chris and manipulation|trolls going to greater and greater lengths to uncover more knowledge about this strange individual]]. Thus, Chris's life began to spiral out of control with the advent of organized trolling, [[Chris and...|armchair psychological analysis]] from bewildered onlookers, and some truly bizarre antics from Chris that continue to this day, which would influence the development of the webcomic whenever he got around to updating it.<br />
<br />
Chris's most notable period of activity on the Internet occurred between [[2007]] and [[2010]] – a period now dubbed [[Saga#Classic Chris Era (27 October 2007 to 20 March 2010)|the "Classic Era"]] by modern Christorians – in which he was repeatedly {{w|Catfishing|catfished}} by trolls pretending to be [[Sweetheart from the Ground-Up|romantic interests]], and he lashed out against arch-enemy [[Clyde Cash]], the leader of the most notable group of trolls in his life: [[Trolls#The Miscreants|The Miscreants]]. In this time, [[Julie Reveals Herself|he was duped by]] [[BlueSpike|a sadistic 13-year-old]] [[List of things Chris has shoved up his ass|into stuffing his medallion up his ass]], [[Liquid Chris|he had his identity stolen by a far more talented individual]], [[Asperchu|and he saw ''Sonichu'' mercilessly spoofed by a webcomic team that designed a story to piss him off]], among other misadventures. However, he eventually decided to sign off from the Internet at the end of this period, seemingly wising up to his dang dirty trolls. When he inevitably returned to the limelight a few months later in 2011, he was not the same. [[Tomgirl Pictures|Chris began to experiment with crossdressing, calling himself a "Tomgirl"]], before eventually coming out as [[transgender]] in late [[2014]].<br />
<br />
From here, Chris's Internet life stayed relatively normal (by his standards), despite his shift in gender identity, his father's death (which led to the retirement of the Miscreants), [[28 October 2011|a hit-and-run case]], [[2014 house fire|the accident that caused his house to burn down]], and [[26 December 2014|an incident where he maced an employee at a GameStop store]] [[Sonic Boom Protests|over the color of Sonic's arms]]. Things changed when two new sets of trolls – known as the [[Idea Guys]] and the [[Teen Troon Squad]] – [[List of beliefs brainwashed into Chris|brainwashed]] him with increasingly-insane beliefs (such as the idea that he and both of his parents are [[Sonichu (species)|half-Sonichu]] or [[Rosechu (species)|half-Rosechu]]), culminating in [[Chris and reality|Chris's revelation]] that he was [[CPU Blue Heart|a goddess]] meant to bring about [[Dimensional Merge|a convergence of dimensions]] between [[Dimensions#C-197|the world shown in his webcomic]] and our world, effectively starting a doomsday cult around what began as a silly, self-indulgent ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and ''[[Pokémon]]'' crossover. Afterward, Chris used [[Messiah complex|this delusion]] as an elaborate [[Chris and coping|coping]] mechanism while he continued his self-destructive habits.<br />
<br />
Despite the trolls in question being driven out by the effort of the [[Guard Dogs]] trying to keep Chris from going further down a path of ruination (and to keep him from embarrassing himself any more), he chose to keep clinging to these unhealthy and downright absurd beliefs. All the while, his [[Chris and health|physical]] and [[Chris and mental healthcare|mental health]] withered away, and [[Financhu Crisis|money became a serious issue for the Chandler household]], while his mother wasn't long for the world, all of which led Chris to retreat even further into his fantasies. It got to the point where [[Spirit possession|he pretended to be possessed by various fictional characters]] on a regular basis, with one nearly year-long period of "possession" by Sonichu serving as a way for Chris to cope with the fact that he wasn't able to attend [[BABSCon|two ''My Little Pony'' conventions]] cancelled during the [[COVID-19]] pandemic.<br />
<br />
The tragedy of Chris-Chan reached a definitive breaking point in [[2021]], after [[Incest Call|leaked audio]] revealed that [[Affair with Mother|he had several incestuous encounters with his elderly mother]], which forcibly evicted him from [[14 Branchland Court|his own home]] and sent him to [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]], which became his most publicized incident in years. During that time, [[Jail Communications|letters from jail]] illustrate that he went even deeper into his own fantasies by believing himself to be the second coming of {{w|Jesus|Jesus Christ}}. Chris was later transferred to the [[Western State Hospital]] mental institution for three months before returning to jail, until he was released in [[March 2023]]. After spending a few months in the [[Gateway Homes|group home]] in Chesterfield County, he was bought a house in [[Lynchburg and Big Island, VA#Big Island|Big Island]], where he lives to this day. Chris remains active on [[Twitter]], [[Bluesky]], and [[YouTube]], and unfortunately, he shows no signs of stopping.<br />
<br />
There has never been an Internet personality quite like Chris-Chan, thanks to the unique circumstances shaping his peculiar behavior and subsequently leading to his prominence online, and there may never be another quite like him – he is truly one of a kind. It is the dedicated mission of [[CWCki|this very wiki]] to chronicle his life in ridiculous detail, and if you want to go down the seemingly bottomless rabbit hole with us, then you should probably start by reading this page. Buckle up, because this is going to be a long ride, and the end is nowhere in sight.<br />

<br />
Chris is a socially avoidant, autistic individual who has spent his life in a state of arrested development. Enabled by his parents, [[Barbara Chandler]] and the late [[Bob Chandler]], Chris has lived almost exclusively within the confines of his childhood home, surrounded by an ever-growing hoard of [[toys]] and [[video games]]. This protected existence allowed him to reject societal norms and avoid the "reality" that most adults face after graduation. He has regularly demonstrated trouble displaying acceptable [[Love Quest|public]] [[Chris and the law|behavior]], recognizing when he needs to [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|use the washroom]], and using his time to [[Sonic Boom Protests|contribute]] [[Dimensional Merge|to]] [[Twitter|society]] in any meaningful way. Although the public school system forced Chris to face [[reality]], graduation has allowed him to stay indoors and avoid taking part in typical civilian activities, opting instead to stick to the comfort of living at home and subsisting off of taxpayer dollars. Due to this avoidance of the outside world, Chris hasn't held a steady [[Chris's resume|job]] [[Wendy's|since 2001]] (commissions and multi-level marketing aside, although it can be argued that his work for [[Praetor]] can be considered one), and he hasn't been employed for more than a few months in his whole life. It is likely Chris will never get a job again thanks to Patreon, [[Tugboat|government disability benefits]], and fan donations, often citing his autism as an insurmountable barrier to traditional work. (Despite the fact that there are many social services available to help people with disabilities find work.) Chris has had shockingly few meaningful relationships with people in a social setting outside of his parents, although he does manage to make friends with people who share his interests in nerd and LGBT culture.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Marvin)#Perspective on Chris's social life]]</ref><br />
<br />
Chris is completely obsessed with his OC and the associated comic, to the point that he has hand-crafted several [[medallions]] in Sonichu's shape. Between February [[2004]] and [[March 2010]], Chris was rarely seen or photographed without one of these totems, even wearing them in his [[:Image:License.jpg|driver's license photo]] and to his [[college]] graduation; the medallion disappeared for a time, but returned in [[September 2010]]. At the same time, he was completely convinced that everyone wants to learn about Sonichu, and that the only reason [[Nintendo]], Sega, and [[Sony]] haven't approached him about making ''Sonichu'' games is that they're either tough negotiators, or that his chances are being ruined by trolls working for them. For a while, Chris had operated an eBay shop where he would make and sell these medallions, including Sonichu, Rosechu, Blake, and even custom character options. These were sold for $30 apiece. After the eBay shop became a mild success, he moved to Etsy, but his laziness got the best of him and he lost the shop after nine months in business, due to failing to fulfill orders.<br />

<br />
[[File:SympathyForChris.png|thumb|left|An approximate graph which correlates knowledge about Chris to sympathy towards him.]]<br />
<br />
Chris used to absolutely hate [[homos|gay men]], and communicated this with such intensity that observers were easily convinced he was simply terrified of becoming gay himself. He cannot bear to look at another man's [[pickle|penis]], and he stared at [[Sailor Moon Poster of Fail|a ''Sailor Moon'' poster]] to keep himself straight.<ref>[[Chris Destroys His Vibrator]]</ref> Chris's words do not always align with his actions; throughout his early Internet history, he appeared to be deeply insecure about his gender and sexuality. Even prior to his gender transition, he has [[Semen#Recycling|swallowed his own semen]], [[Sports bra photo series|worn a bra]], and only reined in his [[Tomgirl Pictures|tendency to proudly crossdress]] because his elderly mother intensely disapproved. While these actions do not indicate homosexuality outright, they do question the validity of Chris's own judgments on his sexual orientation. Surprisingly, however, his homophobia seemed to have little basis in his religious beliefs, as he had not noticed Leviticus 18:22, which condemns homosexuality, until he saw it on a 2009 episode of ''[[Family Guy]]''.<ref>[[CWC with Bible - Leviticus]]</ref> His homophobia did not extend to lesbians, whom he is aroused by. Over time, Chris dropped his homophobic tendencies, [[Apology for past homophobic comments and homophobia.|apologized in 2015]] and supports what he calls the [[SLGBTQ]] spectrum. In [[2018]], the [[Idea Guys]] [[brainwashed]] Chris into identifying as bisexual, although it's likely that this just as much a matter of Chris coming to terms with his own sexuality as it was the result of manipulation.<br />
<br />
His adult life has been largely defined by his goals of developing ''Sonichu'' into a hit media franchise to find financial success (or at least get his [[debt]]s under control), his [[Love Quest]] to obtain a "[[boyfriend-free girl|boyfriend-free]], 18-[''his current age'']-year old, caring, [[tobacky|smoke-free]], non-[[alcohol]]ic [[Chris and race|white]] girl" to make into a "[[Sweetheart from the Ground-Up|sweetheart from the ground-up]]," and, beginning from 2011, his gender identity as a [[tomgirl]] and later a lesbian transwoman. Later, Chris developed a [[Messiah complex]], believing himself to be [[Chris and religion|a reincarnation of Jesus Christ]] that is destined to facilitate a [[Dimensional Merge]] between fiction and reality.<br />
<br />
In short, Chris's story is one that seems fated [[Chris and Death#Chris himself (1982–)|not to have a happy ending]], with his life perhaps serving as a cautionary tale in the age of the Internet. A tale of [[Borb|bad parenting]], [[Chris and socialization|social isolation]], [[Slow-in-the-minds|gullibility]], [[Chris and his ego|narcissism]], [[Chris and work|laziness]], [[Chris and hypocrisy|hypocrisy]], [[Chris and sex|sexual deviancy]], and most importantly, a tale of the world witnessing in real-time the slow, painful degradation of another human being.<br />

<br />
Christian Weston Chandler has a wide array of names he has given himself. He was born Christopher Weston Chandler, but [[Christopher's name change|changed]] to "Christian" at the behest of the "[[Leonard Bearstein|mall conductor bear]]" that misheard his name, which he interpreted as a sign from God. During the mid-2000s, Chris adopted the nickname "Chris-Chan," a play on his surname and the {{w|Japanese honorifics#Chan|Japanese honorific suffix ''-chan''}}, which according to Wikipedia "is used for young children, close friends, babies, grandparents and sometimes female adolescents." Chris was exposed to this honorific through [[anime]] shows like ''{{w|Crayon Shin-chan}}'' and ''{{w|Super Milk Chan}}''. The name "Chris-Chan" is often mistakenly spelled without a hyphen as "Chris Chan," as if Chris had named himself after {{w|Jackie Chan}}. [[Autism|Unusually]], before his gender transition Chris would often refer to himself by his full name, or if he was feeling especially formal as "Christopher Christian Weston Chandler." He is [[Chris and his ego|unusually proud]] of his initials "CWC," and often incorporates them into his creations and various puns on the word "quick." Examples include [[CWCville]], [[A CWC Audition]] and [[CWC Dare]].<br />
<br />
Shortly after declaring himself a [[transgender]] lesbian, Chris started introducing himself as "Christine." In May 2016, he successfully filed for another name change to "Christine Weston Chandler."<ref>[[:File:Court Record - 2016 Name Change from Christian to Christine (Chris, CL16000067-00).png]]</ref> He then followed up by filing to alter the description for sex on his driver's license to female.<ref>[[:File:Christine license.jpg]]</ref> He now signs his name with "heart i's." Court records refer to him as Christine Chandler,<ref>[[:File:Court Record, Albemarle, 23Mar2018, Trespass After Forbidden (Christine Chandler, GC18004278-00).png]]</ref><ref>[[:File:Court Record, Charlottesville, 23Mar2018, Trespass After Forbidden (Christine Chandler, GC18003632-00).png]]</ref> except for civil [[debt]] cases, in which he hadn't updated his name change information with plaintiffs.<ref>[[:Image:Court Record - 2019 Midland Funding Debt Case, Garnishment (Chris, GV18000451-01).png]]</ref> [[CWCki|This wiki]], however, refers to him as Chris for consistency.<br />
<br />
[[File:Cwc bronycon 2017 1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Chris first identified by the name Christine in late 2014 before getting a legal name-change in 2016.]]<br />
<br />
Chris's nickname in his high school [[Spanish]] classes was "Ricardo," and long after then he would still translate his own name to "Ricardo Weston Chandler" when writing or speaking in Spanish, likely due to his ignorance of the fact that you generally don't replace your own name with something completely different when speaking in another language. At times he would go so far as to announce himself as "Christopher Christian 'Ricardo' Weston Chandler," or variants thereof, to identify himself precisely. In recent times, Chris has forgone stating his middle name, former names, and Spanish nickname in videos (Chris has never come up with a feminine counterpart to his "Ricardo" nickname, or any other Spanish-sounding replacement.).<br />
<br />
Occasionally, Chris would use the names of his characters to refer to himself, most notably his evil twin, [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc]], and of course, Sonichu. In his comics, Chris has the ability to transform into an [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]], named [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]]. As Chris grew even more unhinged in 2017 and fell under the [[Idea Guys]]' sway in 2018, he would conflate himself even further with his fantastic inventions to the point where he unofficially added "Sonichu" to the end of his name (although this is not recognized as a legal name change, unlike "Christian" or "Christine" in previous years), to account for his later belief that he is actually half-Sonichu in real life following several rounds of brainwashing. As of the Jail Saga, he calls himself "Jesus Christ-ine Weston Chandler Sonichu Prime", to account for him being the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, sometimes even saying Jesus as "Hayy-zeus", probably as a botched attempt to sound Spanish, and sometimes shortening the name to "Christ-ine". And yes, [[Animate! Raleigh#Aqua Teen Hunger Force panel|he actually introduces himself as Jesus Christ in public]]. Other modern names for himself include [[CPU Blue Heart]] and [[Night Star]], his self-inserts for the ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony]]'' franchises respectively. In contexts when he wants to be especially grandiose, he might append his various fictional alter egos to his name, much as he would list his former names in the past.<br />
<br />
Only a few of the names commonly used to refer to Chris were not invented by Chris himself. One of the most notable ones is "Chrissy," popularized by [[YouTube#Fan archives and leaks|Arjen Van Dierten]] oddly enough, trying to mockingly feminize Chris's name seemed to predict his eventual interest in crossdressing and later interest in becoming transgender. [[Ian Brandon Anderson]], which was derived from Chris's IBAChandler [[YouTube]] account, was popularized by [[Liquid Chris]], [[CHRIS!!! CHANDLER!!!|much to Chris's angst]]. Less notably, there is also "Solid Chris," used by some to differentiate him from Liquid in the tradition of [[Metal Gear|a certain video game series]]. Certain A-Loggers have been known to refer to Chris as "Satan's Agent on Earth." Users of [[Kiwi Farms]] have coined the term "Classic Chris" to refer to Chris before Bob's death and/or before the [[Tomgirl Saga]], with "Modern Chris" being used to describe his more recent antics.<br />

<br />
Christopher Weston Chandler was born on 24 February 1982 at {{w|Martha Jefferson Hospital}} in [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]], [[Virginia]].<ref name="WikiProfile">[[Chris's Wikipedia profile]]</ref> The only child to [[Barbara Chandler|Barbara Ann Weston]], an office worker at Virginia Power, and [[Bob Chandler|Robert Franklin Chandler Jr.]] (1927-2011), an engineer for Western Electric and General Electric. The couple were 40 and 54 at the time of their son's birth. Little is known about Chris's toddler years; the [[Autism papers]] revealed that his linguistic abilities were subpar, which became his first sign of [[autism]]. Despite this, Chris claims his first word, "monkey," was spoken at just 6 weeks old,<ref name="Wikipedia early">[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#His Early Years - Birth to 1992]]</ref> and he remains proud of this feat into adulthood, regardless of how obviously unlikely and physically impossible it is to be true – the language centers in the human brain literally cannot grasp English at 6 weeks, disregarding infantile vocal chords.<br />
<br />
An [[abusive babysitter]], who was alone with Christopher every day for years,<ref>[[:Image:Cole 07-03-06-3.PNG|6 March 2007 email from Cole to Chris, page 3]]</ref> allegedly locked him in a toy room at an early age after turning all the lights off, an event he described as being immensely traumatic for him.<ref name="Wikipedia early" /> (Chris apparently missed the irony of the fact that he regularly locked himself in a room, surrounded by toys, for much of his adult life.) He once identified this confinement as the source of his autism (which is wishful thinking on Chris's part, considering that autism is a genetic condition that isn't triggered by external trauma). Between the ages of 1 and 5, Chris did not speak at all, and beginning in 1987, had to visit the [[University of Virginia]] and [[James Madison University]] for speech therapy,<ref>[[November 2025 social media posts##NoToPaxil]]</ref> the latter of which being where he met his first male friend [[Joshua Martinez]]. He was diagnosed with high-functioning autism, with the doctor projecting (at least according to Chris) that he would never make it to high school, much less be able to write his own name.<ref>[[Aspergers (CWCipedia article)]]</ref> However, Chris was able to meet these cognitive milestones in time.<br />
<br />
During the [[1980s]], Christopher was playmates with [[Sarah Nicole Hammer]], one of his first friends. In one of the anecdotes that he's written about her (which are few and far between), Chris indicated that Sarah once convinced him that {{w|Casper the Friendly Ghost}} lived in the crawlspace under her house. When he crawled in there to look, she locked him in<ref>[[Chris + Sarah's Life-Shares#Memories of childhood|Chris + Sarah's Life-Shares, page 4]]</ref> in a stunning display of their friendship, beginning Chris's lifelong career of getting trolled. Despite this, Chris maintained a fondness for her, establishing a lifelong pattern of excusing the behavior of "pretty girls" while holding deep grudges against others for lesser slights.<br />
<br />
Chris spent the [[1990s|1990-1991]] school year in the fourth grade at [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School]], until his parents pulled him out of classes over a mysterious dispute. Chris claims that he was forcefully restrained by the school's faculty, who recorded his screams,<ref>[[Captain's Log, Stardate November 7th, 2007]]</ref> and that he was made to sit on the lap of the [[Bruce Johnson|principal]], an experience that supposedly inspired his homophobia. Chris later proclaimed that the abuse from the staff was the most traumatic experience of his life. It's possible that Chris's opinions about these events are colored more by his parents' attitudes than his own memories. The issue went to court, with Greene County seeking to have Chris sent to a special needs school. Chris was homeschooled through the 5th grade during these proceedings. While being homeschooled, the animatronic bear [[Leonard Bearstein]] misheard Christopher's first name and called him "Christian," which inexplicably convinced Christopher to later have his name legally changed. When his family exhausted all legal recourse, Chris and his father relocated to [[Richmond]] so that Chris could continue his education in a different school system, starting with the sixth grade at [[Providence Middle School]].<ref name="Wikipedia early" /> He described his time there as pleasant, although he was often bullied by his classmates. His teacher, [[Virginia Jeanine Sanford]], helped him to develop social skills and cope with bullying, and Chris later called her the most influential person in his life.<br />
<br />
At age 11, Chris entered and won the [[Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes]]. On his 12th birthday, he enjoyed a $1,000 shopping spree as his prize. WVIR-TV's coverage of the event focused on Chris's autism, regarding the contest win as a worthy accomplishment due to his mental condition. Chris put footage from this newscast on [[YouTube]] long before he was known to the general public, and it remains the most solid evidence that he is not an elaborate troll. This incident is often cited as the beginning of Chris's tendency to use his autism as leverage for special treatment, as well as his fascination with toys and video games at the expense of more mature pursuits. It has also led Chris to constantly enter contests in hopes of winning big (or else [[Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown|becoming infuriated and belligerent to the winners]] when he loses).<br />

<br />
Chris spent much of his time in [[Manchester High School|high school]] playing video games at home, reading ''[[Goosebumps]]'' novels, and hanging out with his [[gal pal]]s and [[Joseph Herring|friend]] at school (though as it turned out, many of these gal-pals were arranged friendships set up by Chris's parents and the school principal). It was at this time that he first put his creative talents to use, with the inventions of [[Bionic the Hedgehog]] and Sonichu, the latter of which was created for a class project simply because he couldn't use [[Chris and copyright|copyrighted characters]].<ref>[[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20161008083333/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_7/Page_22]</ref> (The irony that Chris's own solution to that problem was to merge two copyrighted characters into a new character is somehow still lost on him, even to this day.) After inventing his ''magnum opus'' with the character of Sonichu, Chris began to incorporate his [[OCs|original character]] into everything that he could, although his passion for his character wouldn't truly surface until college.<br />
<br />
Despite Chris's claims of being an [[honor roll|honor student]], records suggest a more [[Manchester High Leaks|mediocre academic career]]. His [[Manchester High School#Graduation|high school graduation]] was marked by a tearful outburst because the art award he wanted was given to someone else. He honestly thought he deserved the award more than anyone else because he worked on it "so hard" despite his autism, ignoring the likelihood that the artistic achievements of his peers were simply better. Another reason for his sorrow was his fear that he might soon have to grow up and start acting like an adult, a phase of his life that his parents had not properly prepared him for.<ref>[[:Image:0567-GraduationNote2.jpg|DVD, graduation note 2]]</ref> Evidently, this fear was unfounded.<br />
<br />
Since leaving high school and the happiest years of his life, Chris has been unwilling and unable to progress in any other aspect of his life, and has unfortunately even regressed in several key areas as he has gotten older. He remains trapped in a childish, Year [[2000]] [[Time Void|time-stasis]], as he believes that whatever he was doing at the time was what helped him attract female companions. That his high school gal-pals have moved on and married real adult men with careers is of little consequence to him. [[Chris and nostalgia|Chris still pines for "better days"]] in spite of his current belief system hypothetically leaving him in a better place than he ever was in high school. As you might imagine, this is precisely because things didn't get much better for Chris after finishing school.<br />

<br />
[[Image:0781-CWCspdbed.JPG|thumb|One of Chris's promotional images for his [[Love Quest]].]]<br />
<br />
Chris's entry into [[Piedmont Virginia Community College]] probably eased his inability to cope with life after high school. He took courses in [[CADD|Computer Aided Drafting and Design]] and began spending more time on ''Sonichu'', launching a [[Sonichu's News Dash|newsletter]] and circulating it on the PVCC campus. Over time, he began losing touch with his gal-pals from high school, and he presumably found the junior college crowd less willing to humor him and his personal idiosyncrasies. By his own admission, his social life at PVCC was lacking when compared to his high school years.<ref>[[Story of My Current Days#Story of My Current Days]]</ref><ref>[[Chris + Sarah's Life-Shares]], page 10.</ref><br />
Chris says he decided he needed a [[sweetheart]] in February [[2003]]. Possibly driven by his discovery that his old friend [[Sarah Nicole Hammer|Sarah Hammer]] had begun dating [[Wes Iseli]], Chris started his [[Love Quest]] in earnest that summer. However, he quickly found that every girl he talked to had a boyfriend (or so they claimed). Chris soon became neurotic about the "[[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor]]" and began concocting and employing various bizarre methods to attract women without actually having to approach or speak to them.<br />
<br />
Chris's most celebrated technique involved sitting in one place (or pacing back and forth) for hours, holding a sign that read "I am a (variable age)-Year Old, Single Male, seeking an 18-(Chris's age then)-Year Old, Single Female Companion." Amazingly, this strategy accomplished nothing beyond getting him into trouble with various [[jerkop|authority]] [[manajerks|figures]] who believed that he was loitering and/or soliciting sex, which was legally true. Chris was particularly affected by a series of confrontations with the [[PVCC]] dean [[Mary Lee Walsh]] over his attraction techniques, resulting in an ongoing, completely one-sided blood feud involving [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha|magic curses]] and [[Mary Lee Walsh#Mary Lee Walsh in Sonichu|slander]]. After a series of confrontations featuring increasingly bizarre and threatening behavior on Chris's part, Walsh suspended him for one year in [[2004]]. He eventually returned the following year, obtaining an associate's degree in May [[2006]]. <br />
<br />
[[Image:156-CWCMegan1.jpg|thumb|left|He can smell fear.]]<br />
<br />
After college and completing his education, Chris promptly dropped out of society, devoting his life to finding a boyfriend-free girl, drawing ''Sonichu'', [[mass debating]], and using his [[monthly tugboat|welfare money]] to buy video games and [[sex toys]]. He would not make any serious attempts to seek out a career from graduation onward, in spite of attaining a degree that could probably net him a decent-paying (and relatively undemanding) career that would likely grant him more opportunities than sitting at home playing video games ever could.<br />
<br />
In [[2005]], Chris met [[Megan Schroeder]] at a [[The GAMe PLACe|local game and card shop]]. A social outcast like himself, Megan proved unusual in that she was willing to talk to Chris for more than 5 minutes. The two quickly became close friends, although Megan claimed to have recently endured a bad break-up and refused to entertain Chris's obvious romantic interest. Chris, seemingly basing his stance on studying women in porn and [[anime]], believed that the key to turning Megan's platonic feelings romantic was to make inappropriate advances toward her until she had to tell him to stop touching her (a habit that got so bad that [[Megan emails, 2005-2006#Megan sends Chris some more mixed signals|Megan later equated it to sexual harassment]]).<br />
<br />
In the summer of [[2007]], Chris put it all on the line by entering a [[Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown|''PaRappa the Rapper'' contest]] so that he could win prizes and a trip for two to Seattle, which formed the centerpiece of his plan to finally score with Megan. The contest ended in disaster for Chris, as he lost to the dreaded [[Adam Stackhouse]] and subsequently learned that Megan wouldn't have gone with him on the trip even if he had won.<br />
<br />
It was during the Love Quest that Chris was inspired to launch ''Sonichu'', a comic book series featuring his Electric Hedgehog Pokémon. Ostensibly, the comic was intended to focus on the life and times of Chris's unbelievably original character, but by halfway through the first issue, the focus of the story had become Chris and his myriad of romantic misadventures. Little would Chris know, however, that his life was about to permanently change as a result of writing and drawing his magnum opus.<br />

[[Image:110-SchuSiteIdea2.jpg|thumb|FUCK YEAH!!!]]<br />
<br />
Chris's rare talent (and by talent we mean pathology) was discovered when someone posted an anonymous picture of Sonichu on [[4-cent garbage|4chan]]. It only took a quick Google search of Chris's name to discover the picture's author. He was also discovered on 26 October 2007 by the website SomethingAwful, when a user derailed an unrelated conversation and wrote their personal account of Chris. A thread on Chris and Sonichu was created the next day.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20071107074539/http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2667671&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1</ref> Chris's miserable existence spilled over onto [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] in November 2007. His life hasn't been the same since then, and shockingly enough, Chris himself shoulders some of the blame for why that is.<br />
<br />
Upon learning of the "Chris-Chan" article on ED, Chris released a single [[Chris Chan's Public Announcement|YouTube video]] attempting to diplomatically convince the site to remove the page. Failing in this, he then spent the next several months [[List of Chris's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica|vandalizing]] the article in the vain hope of overwhelming his enemies. This catastrophically backfired as Chris, in an attempt to prove himself as lurid as the [[trolls]], revealed a great deal of embarrassing information, most notably [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|a portrait of himself finger-banging Megan]] that ruined his most important relationship at the time, giving the trolls justification to continue their war against Chris in the process. By the spring of [[2008]], Chris would be banned from both [[The GAMe PLACe|his favorite hangout]] (temporarily, but he was banned permanently in August 2008) and [[Grace Baptist Church|his parents' church]] for reasons at least partially related to information brought to light by the ED article.<br />
<br />

[[File:Ecp00066.jpg|thumb|Chris in [[2009]], making [[April 16 Fetish Vids|fetish videos]] for [[Ivy]].]]<br />
<br />
In August 2008, Chris [[CWC's Second Message|declared]] [[Attention All Sonichu Fans (NOT HATERS)|war]] upon Encyclopedia Dramatica in a series of videos, threatening to withhold publication of the upcoming [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]] unless his vast [[True and Loyal Fanbase]] rallied to force ED to remove the "Chris-Chan" article. When ED suffered outages unrelated to this crusade, Chris [[Kudos to the Encyclopedia DramaDestruction|took credit and declared victory]], ironically guaranteeing that he would be under constant fire from trolls for years to come. This began an endless cycle in which Chris would produce [[videos]], comics, and harebrained schemes to attack the trolls, which would, in turn, encourage more and more trolls to provoke him for his hilarious responses [[Honest Content|where he would reveal more information about himself]].<br />
<br />
The cycle was briefly disrupted in the fall of 2008 when Chris sent his various [[medallions]] to his [[Blanca Weiss|fake Internet girlfriend]], who immediately destroyed them and broke up with him. This emotional heartbreak and the release of ''[[LittleBigPlanet]]'' reduced Chris's output of videos and other sources of lulz. At the same time, Encyclopedia Dramatica began cracking down on trolls using Chris's ED page as a forum for discussing him, and in general, opinion was divided as to whether it was funny or [[A-Logging|obnoxious and tiring]] to continue harassing him. The resulting schism led to the creation of numerous websites (such as [[CWCki|this one]] singularly devoted to documenting his life), which has only expanded the coverage of Chris's hijinks.<br />
<br />
By late 2008, trolls controlled many aspects of Chris's life by posing as dedicated [[fans]], sweethearts, cartoonish enemies, and prospective business partners. Chris's ego and [[naïve]]te readily embraced this brave new world in which every woman wanted to fuck him, every man was either trying to help him sell ''Sonichu'' products or steal the franchise for their own nefarious goals, and that any and all trolls were a vocal minority on his way to fame and fortune. Trolls would begin denoting major events in Chris's life as "[[saga]]s" such as the [[Miyamoto]] Saga, the [[Julie]] Saga, the [[Ivy]] Saga, the Liquid Saga, and the ''[[Asperchu]]'' Saga. All the while, the editors and administrators working at Encyclopedia Dramatica and the CWCki maintained a constant record of these events, ensuring that Chris could not get away with his highly selective and revisionary treatment of his history.<br />
<br />
Following his disastrous failure to woo [[The Wallflower|a real girl]] in [[March 2010]], Chris began to realize what anyone else would have figured out a long time ago: that his Internet presence and the toxic cycle of exposing something about himself, getting exploited or otherwise made fun of by trolls, and reacting poorly to said trolling was having a detrimental effect upon his mental health and social life, with every new video that he created exacerbating the problem. This realization appears to have led him to reduce his online presence and to stop donning Sonichu medallions and [[clown shirt]]s. For a time, it looked like Chris was learning from his experiences and was making an effort to improve his own lot in life.<br />
<br />
In [[November 2010]], around the same time another romantic saga involving [[Jackie|another sweetheart]] ended in failure, Chris announced he will no longer socialize online or publish videos of himself. Subsequently, all videos save for the last one were removed from his YouTube channel. It initially appeared that Chris was making a positive lifestyle change, but alas, it was quickly discovered that his Internet activity had not completely ceased since he announced retirement from social media. Instead of investing his time into more productive activities or improving on his social skills, Chris spent much more time playing video games and otherwise doing what he had been doing when he did engage with trolls. In a predictable fashion, he ultimately forgot anything that he might have learned from his experiences of [[Kick the Autistic|being one of the Internet's biggest punching bags]], and he subsequently returned to making new videos starting on [[August 2011]]... Albeit with a pretty big change in how he presented himself online.<br />

<br />
Perhaps the most dramatic change in Chris's life was his open and enthusiastic embrace of crossdressing and femininity in general. In [[2011]], Chris was revealed to have become a full-blown crossdresser (or "[[tomgirl]]," as he calls it) and fully embraced his new identity both at home and in public. Chris seemed to have reconciled this behavior with his extreme homophobia, transphobia, and purported heterosexuality without any difficulty. Though treated as yet another saga at first, this behavior seems to be deeply entrenched and became more extreme in late 2014 and the years that followed. As mentioned previously, Chris would slowly but surely walk back his anti-LGBT stances.<br />
<br />
[[File:Chris march2013.jpg|thumb|left|Chris in [[2013]].]]<br />
<br />
In [[September 2011]], Chris's father died of heart failure. Chris lived with his widowed mother until [[2021]] ([[Incest Saga|not that he willingly moved out]]), who along with the [[Monthly tugboat|tugboat]], was his only source of income during this time. Since his mother is in her 80s, it can be reasonably assumed that she has little time left on this earth, especially when her poor health and apparent cognitive decline are considered.<br />
<br />
After Bob's death, Chris generally ceased interacting with trolls, seemingly no longer able to effortlessly bounce back from despair like he used to. Instead, Chris lapsed into a deep depression, already existing [[Simonla Rosechu#Simonla_as_the_Lynchpin|following the loss of the sanctity of his personal retreat]] but no doubt exacerbated by the later loss of his home to fire, and subsequent financial difficulties. In the aftermath of the family tragedy, many trolls began to question whether Chris deserved or indeed, could cope with any further trolling, given that he was no longer the [[Chris and anger|bellicose]], [[Chris and fashion|striped-shirted]] egocentric man-child that the world had come to know and love. For many, it became apparent that Chris's glory days of screaming into a camera like a madman and performing like a circus animal for trolls offering [[china]] were over, and several moved on. The Golden Age of Chris-Chan was over.<br />
<br />
[[File:Chris 15 Aug 2014 changed profile pic.jpg|thumb|Chris in [[2014]], his long, lank, thin [[hair]] receding in earnest.]]<br />

<br />
Nonetheless, the surviving Chandlers still managed to be drama magnets in their own neighborhood. In [[October 2011]], Chris and Barb were [[28 October 2011|arrested]] at [[The GAMe PLACe]] and charged on several counts including trespassing, assault, and failure to stop at an accident causing over $1,000 in damage after an altercation with [[Michael Snyder]]. (Chris had presumed that the store's new management meant that Snyder may no longer work there, thus giving Chris a chance to potentially revisit his old haunt. When this proved to not be the case, both Chandlers hit Snyder with a car.) The trespassing and assault charges against Chris were dropped, but both still faced felony trials for the failure to stop, and Barb for assaulting a police officer. Much of the money that Bob left behind was used to pay for legal expenses.<br />
<br />
While awaiting trial, Chris was worried that he may die a virgin if he were to go to prison, and so looked for ways to have at least one sexual encounter before a worst-case scenario could come to pass. [[April 2012]], Chris declared that he finally [[Mia Hamm|lost his virginity]]. This was later confirmed to be true... [[Other documents#Chris's wingman|at the hands of a prostitute]]. Chris reneged on the "true love" part of his [[Love Quest]] and skipped straight to the point, which seemed to satisfy him in the short run but otherwise wasn't a life-changing experience for him. 2012 was otherwise uneventful, probably because Chris was in trouble with [[Chris and the law|the law]] and spent less time online than usual.<br />
<br />
[[2013]] saw Chris's online presence more or less confined to ranting on [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]], as well as making himself a pariah to people in real life through his actions. He began blaming people to their face for his own shortcomings which resulted in him leaving his church, getting chewed out by a voice actress from [[My Little Pony|one of his favorite shows]], upsetting the few friends he had left with his homophobia and getting thrown out of a [[Walmart]] for committing blatant vandalism. He has also complained about the "stress" taking its toll on his health ([[Chris and health|this, at least, is evident]]) and pined incessantly about being "lonely." Even the "gal-pals" Chris so fondly talked about in his high school days would end up betraying him – he found out around Halloween 2013 that they had only tolerated him out of pity and, having discovered his antics, were just as revolted by them as the next sane person. Of course, the miseries Chris was lamenting at this time were almost entirely products of his own behavior coming back to haunt him, something he clearly did not realize.<br />
<br />
The year 2013 also saw the rise of quite a few new white knights as well (including actual friends he met in real life) all of whom tried to offer constructive advice to Chris, although their advice was unwelcome information and thus totally ignored, as tradition dictates. This year of Chris's life seemed to have been most characterized by his flagrant disrespect of people, things and ideas around him, resulting in his exile and loneliness which he idiotically (but predictably) did not connect with his appalling behavior. <br />
<br />
At first, it seemed that [[2014]] would just be business as usual. That is, until [[January 2014|January]] 10th when an extension cord leading from the bathroom to a coffee maker in the hallway – which was placed in such a location due to the nature of Barb's compulsive hoarding habits, and had become frayed due to the constant closing of the door – sparked and [[2014 house fire|set the house on fire]].<ref>[[BraveryJerk Interviews]]</ref> While no human was seriously harmed, one of the [[Chandler cats]] died in the fire. The resulting damages forced Chris and his mother to temporarily [[Rental House|move out and trash a different house]]. Some of the Chandler possessions were destroyed in the fire, including most of Bob's huge record collection.<br />
<br />
Chris and his mother ran into [[Chris and money|acute]] [[Debt|financial]] [[Financhu Crisis|difficulties]] as a result of the house fire on top of their existing income issues, and Chris had spent most of the year alternating between begging for money and taking commissions to make more of his artwork on Facebook, and selling autographed photos of himself on eBay ([[Trolls|with it being pretty clear who most of his patrons were]]). Despite the severity of the Chandler family's financial issues, Chris chose to blow literally thousands of dollars on [[Lego|children's toys]] instead of working to resolve his debts. Naturally, his "art" and photographs are only really of any value to [[True and Loyal Fanbase|fans]], who purchased these items as a means to keep a roof over Chris's head.<br />
<br />
In July, Chris was catfished once more by a new sweetheart named [[Catherine]] after meeting her through [[OKCupid]]. She met up with him in Ruckersville and surreptitiously recorded his conversations. The relationship lasted through the end of the year, and through this process, it was learned that Chris [[Un-clit|pierced his taint]], with other media tied to Chris's life leaking as Catherine and cooperating trolls uncovered more details about his then-current life and mindset.<br />
<br />
[[Transgender|Chris began identifying as a lesbian]] in [[August 2014]], and denied that there is no such thing as a male lesbian (citing Yahoo! Answers as proof). While he seemed to soften his stance on gay men (''very'' reluctantly), he also indicated that he hated his own [[duck|genitalia]], in addition to his pre-existing hatred of pickles in general. Chris also took up attending LGBTQ events around Charlottesville, including attending a Halloween party at a gay bar dressed as a lesbian from the 70s. At such events, he obviously mingled with people infinitely more accepting and kind than himself. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Chris would make a more serious commitment to his lifestyle change when he officially began to transition.<br />

<br />
[[File:Happy Birthday, Nathan..mp400001.png|thumb|Chris in [[2016]].]]<br />
<br />
In early December 2014, Chris informed those closest to him to start referring him with female pronouns, indicating his desire to go from being a crossdresser to becoming transgender. This era started with a bang when, in December, Chris [[26 December 2014|violated a ban and assaulted an employee in an outing to]] [[GameStop]] on Boxing Day. He assaulted the store's Assistant Manager, who was calling security, with mace; showing that, again, Chris has yet to learn anything from his mistakes, if he even regards them as mistakes to begin with. On top of this, Chris subsequently caused another ruckus at Walmart, just in case you started feeling bad for him after being duped by yet another fake girlfriend. Chris ultimately spent a night in the slammer, and following a lengthy legal process, got off with a $541 fine and a six-month suspended sentence.<br />
<br />
More generally, 2015 saw Chris slowly shy away from his traditional bigotry towards men and homosexuals (while still keeping up his [[Sonic Boom Protests|ludicrous crusade against Sega over the color scheme of a certain cartoon hedgehog]] and dramatizing his experience with trolls), and finally develop enough self-awareness to try and know himself. He indicated in several Facebook posts that he was still trying to gauge his own sexuality and sexual identity; for some time, he yo-yoed between wanting to remain a crossdresser and wanting to transition into womanhood.<br />

<br />
In addition, Barb was sued by two banks, due to failure to pay over $20,000 of debt, kicking off the [[Financhu Crisis]], in which she and Chris both begged for money like jackasses, while their hoards of things that they could sell were clearly visible behind them. The [[Business]] saga was suspended when Chris was [[Chris and business|banned from Etsy for failing to send orders]]. He continued to [[duck]] responsibility for his inability to put down the [[PS4]] controller long enough to slap together his preschool-level arts and crafts, choosing to blame [[Lulu]] for being "[[Homos|the bugger that bit my ass bad]] and killed my creative groove."<br />
<br />
His Oedipal complex veered into disturbing new levels when he freely announced that he [[August 2016 Facebook posts#Incestuous Thoughts|dreams about having sex with his mother]]. He also made multiple death threats against political figures [[Donald Trump]] and Mike Pence.<br />
<br />
[[File:ChrisandTeenTroonSquad.png|thumb|left|Chris with the Teen Troon Squad in [[2018]].]]<br />
<br />
In [[2017]], the Financhu Crisis continued to stress the Chandlers. Chris offered pieces of his late father's stamp collection, the [[Sonic Totem]] and [[The Classic]] for sale in order to afford more toys, a [[$400 gold necklace]] for Barb, and the extremely costly expenses for his [[Stamps#Raffle|raffle prizes]]. He and Barb also continued begging. One of his friends from [[The End Games]] Pokémon Club grew concerned and gave him solid advice on how to apply for work through Virginia's DARS program – and in true Chris fashion, instead of following it, he went on an angry tirade. Later in the year, he was sued for failure to pay a debt to Mariner Finance.<br />
<br />
Chris rediscovered Twitter in March. His frequent tweets to voice actresses lead to the [[DoopieDoOver|Doopie]] saga – in which he was chastised for calling her [[darling]], but doubled down on it and was subsequently blocked by her – and getting blocked by ''My Little Pony'' voice actress [[Tabitha St. Germain]] due to her getting constantly tagged by Chris and the [[weens]] orbiting him. He created sockpuppet accounts [[NightStar2891]] to plead his case and [[TwiSparLicious]] to ban-evade, which failed.<br />
<br />
He briefly joined the [[Kiwi Farms]] forum under the name LegendaryChristorian and held a Q&A session.<br />
<br />
A high point for his social life was attending [[BronyCon]], at which he enjoyed attention from [[fans]]. He also attended LGBT events such as [[UVA Remembers Pulse]] (where he was interviewed on TV), [[Cville Pride]] (where he was photographed by news in crowd shots), and [[Love is Love]].<br />
<br />
Chris resumed the [[Business]] saga halfway through the year by going back to work on the [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]] comic he had abandoned in 2015, by placing pages behind [[Patreon]]. He also again offered books for sale, self-published by [[Lulu]], was paid to be interviewed by [[Merryweathery]] and [[CopperCab]], and joined [[Redbubble]]. After eight years, he finally completed #11, and moved onto #12, which he completed after a few months. He began work on [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]] and [[Sonichu 15|''Sonichu'' #15]], but got distracted. His Patreon efforts also began to languish around October, when patrons complained that he hadn't been sending out books.<br />
<br />
Another sweetheart saga took place in the fall. [[Jessica Quinn]], a long-time white knight, suddenly turned troll by pretending she had fallen in love with him. She broke up with him twice, the first time he cried on camera for her to take him back, and the final time, [[CLog 10042017 - Q&A NO MORE|he raged on video against the trolls he thought were to blame]]. He recovered quickly after drowning his sorrows at an ice cream shop.<br />

<br />
After [[Heart level|having his heart shattered]] yet again, Chris began to be influenced by another troll, the [[Idea Guys|Idea Guy]], who role-played as his [[imaginary friends]] and convinced him that he was providing information from [[CWCville]]'s dimension, which Chris accepted out of having his fantasy world validated; along the way, another Idea Guy joined with the first. Together, they used their influence over Chris's beliefs to [[List of beliefs brainwashed into Chris|brainwash Chris into believing several things about himself]], such as the idea that he was [[bisexual]] and half-Sonichu, which ultimately culminated in Chris developing a [[Messiah complex]] derived from [[Dimensions|his own delusions about the nature of reality]] and the lore of ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]''.<br />
<br />
[[File:Praetor5.jpg|thumb|Chris in 2020, moments before [[Goochland Library Sermon|giving a sermon]] of the allegedly imminent [[Dimensional Merge]].]]<br />
<br />
When it was learned that the Idea Guys were extorting Chris, who was already facing financial difficulties, [[The Captain]] and [[Marvin]] intervened, forcing the Idea Guys out from Chris's life over the course of the subsequent months, however Chris retained much of the Idea Guys' brainwashing. The Captain, Marvin, and [[Null]] – a group called the [[Guard Dogs]] by onlookers from Kiwi Farms – attempted to protect Chris from further bad actors by screening his messages, however, the [[Teen Troon Squad]] managed to evade them by meeting with Chris in person. The Guard Dogs alleged them to have role-played as Chris's imaginary friend [[Magi-Chan]] and Chris retreated more into his fantasy world while under their enabling influence.<br />
<br />
Chris repeatedly denounced the Idea Guys for financially exploiting him, but the damage was done to his psyche: Chris bought into the fantasy that he was a goddess as a new coping mechanism, and his already-shaky grasp on reality hit rock bottom. Chris's new beliefs led him to seek a hippie makeover befitting of his supposed [[PsychicPowers|psychic prowess]], and he retreated further into his fantasies, generally refusing to engage with people who wouldn't entertain them. Chris eventually turned on Null, thanks to the influence of other trolls – chief among them, [[Jacob Sockness]], who sought to sexually exploit Chris. The Guard Dogs realized that there was little that they could do and disbanded. Another white-knight group, known as the [[Watchmen]], formed (who [[Enablers|enabled some of Chris's fantasies]] out of pragmatism). A highly cliquish group who hassled many others that were in contact with Chris, they eventually splintered following internal conflict among its members.<ref>[[The Lainchu Manifesto]]</ref><br />
<br />
In [[September 2020]], a group led by [[Caden Peck]], calling itself [[Praetor]], met with Chris and proposed doing [[business]] with him. An online shop, [[OfficialCWCmart]], was launched later that year, with its first item being medallions produced by Praetor members and authorized by Chris, for which he was paid a royalty. The shop later expanded its offerings to items which were claimed to be made by Chris himself.<br />
<br />
Throughout all of this, Chris's belief in the Dimensional Merge has not wavered. When it didn't arrive on the prophesied date of {{w|Jonestown|November 18, 2018}}, Chris did what all doomsday cultists and religious fundamentalists do whenever the apocalypse doesn't happen: he pushed it back again and again. Not helping matters was the advent of [[COVID-19]], which Chris saw as a sign of the Dimensional Merge's progress alongside all the other insane crap that happened in the year 2020. For Chris, things really took a turn for the worse when [[BABSCon]] got canceled, and he began an elaborate coping scheme to [[Spirit possession|live-action roleplay as Sonichu]] until he could attend ''[[My Little Pony]]'' conventions again. Chris spent nearly eleven months pretending to be his [[OCs|original character]], with very few interruptions, before eventually reverting to being himself again on 25 February 2021, [[KwaiiSandbag calls|thanks to the intervention of an enabler]], to personally oppose news about the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' G5 reboot.<br />
<br />
By 2021, Chris had largely reduced his online activities to posting long [[Twitter]] threads of faux-philosophical ramblings reflecting his New Age Retro Hippie mindset, which bordered on being incomprehensible or [[Enablers|esoteric]]. <br />
<br />
During this time, Chris's appearance visibly aged significantly, with his hair turning grey. He's also seemingly lost a bit of weight, not due to improving his diet and leading a less sedentary lifestyle, but due to a decline in muscular mass. This is likely a result of the effects of the hormones that he has applied to treat his gender dysphoria, alongside his declining physical health due to his various poor life decisions.<br />

<br />
In 2020, Chris successfully reconciled with [[Null]], who eventually helped organize a fundraiser for Chris so that he could attend [[Everfree Northwest]], a ''[[My Little Pony]]'' convention, on the condition that [[Help send Chris-Chan to Everfree NW|Chris would complete commission work in exchange for his donations]]. Chris also informed Null, [[Don Lashomb]], [[The WCT]], several members of [[The Knights of CWC]], and [[Isabella Loretta Janke]] that he was having a romantic relationship with an older woman, giving all of them various hints to her identity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Arrestchu.jpeg|thumb|right|400px|[[Incest Arrest|Chris's arrest at a motel]], filmed by fellow lolcow [[Carpetbaggers#Ethan Ralph|Ethan "The Gunt" Ralph]].]]<br />
<br />
On the night of 27 July 2021, Chris initiated a video call with Bella. He bragged to her about [[Affair with Mother|sexual acts that he committed with his own mother]] – a felony – over the course of several weeks. Bella partially [[Incest Call|recorded the call]] when Chris began speaking of those actions. He also [[Incest Texts|texted her with more details]]. Bella shared the files with her friends, and those circulated and were publicly leaked on 30 July.<br />
<br />
Once these details got out, he and Barb were separated by the [[Jerkops|authorities]], he had to vacate his home due to a week-long [[Emergency Protective Order]], he was very quickly banned from the convention that he'd hoped to attend, and his [[Patreon]] account – one of his few real sources of income – was taken down. Null quickly washed his hands of Chris for good, after he realized that Chris allegedly stole approximately $750 from Barb to fund his stay at [[Regency Inn Richmond]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Chris_mugshot_27_March_2023.png|thumb|left|150px|Chris in [[2023]], at the end of his stay in jail. Note [[Obesity|the weight loss]] compared to his first mugshot and Chris's improved mood compared to his second.]]<br />
<br />
Chris was [[Incest Arrest|arrested]] on 1 [[August 2021]], an event which was live-streamed by [[Ethan Ralph]]. The incest revelation and the ensuing drama resulted in several people associated with Chris cutting ties with him – such as [[Don Lashomb]], [[The WCT]], and [[Fiona]]. Other people continue to interact with Chris such as [[Kenneth Engelhardt]], [[Caden Peck]], [[Helena Fiorenza]], and [[Eels and the Eggman]]. Chris's actions during this time trended on social media, leading less Internet-savvy netizens to either discover Chris for the first time or to rediscover him after years of fading into obscurity. The massive social media reaction to the news led to Chris's actions being covered by various news outlets – most notably, a dedicated segment on Fox News's ''Tucker Carlson Tonight'', the most popular show on the network at the time, which in turn exposed him to millions of retired, right-wing baby boomers.<br />
<br />
Chris spent the next several months in [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]] after being arrested by the Henrico County sheriff's department, awaiting a court hearing set for 28 [[July 2022]], following three continuances. While waiting in jail, Chris's [[Messiah complex|delusions of godhood]] spiraled out of control as he began believing himself to be {{w|Jesus|Jesus of Nazareth}} reincarnated and the [[Dimensional Merge]] to be proceeding entirely as planned. During this time, Chris kept in touch with the outside world via a multitude of [[Jail Communications]] discussing a variety of subjects, from his jail conditions to [[Chris and religion|his renewed interest in the Bible]] and [[Weening|ween]] attempts to convert him to Islam through reading the Qur'an. These letters and phone calls also revealed that Chris had been kept in protective custody for his own safety.<br />
<br />
While in jail, Chris wrote the [[Goddess Log]], his jail diary. He also drew artwork, which were sold via [[OfficialCWCmart]].<ref>[[OfficialCWCmart Jail Art]]</ref><br />
<br />
Early into [[March 2022]], it was learned that Chris was transferred out of jail into the [[Western State Hospital]] mental institution. During this time, Chris was isolated from the outside world; what he was up to while there will most likely remain unknown unless Chris opens up about what happened (assuming that he says anything not affected by his own fantasies, which seems like wishful thinking). He returned to [[CVRJ]] on [[May 2022|3 May 2022]], with a new mugshot taken upon his arrival, showing that Chris appeared much more gaunt than before and had lost a substantial amount of weight. Unfortunately, subsequent mail correspondence indicated that his time away from jail had not caused him to face reality, as he opted to double down on his fantasies.<br />
<br />
On 28 [[July 2022]], only a day before the first anniversary of the leaking of the infamous incest call, Chris finally had his court hearing after three delays. In the process, it was determined that the case would be going before a grand jury for a felony incest charge. However, Chris's lawyer filed a motion for [[autism disorder deferred disposition]]. Following months of [[CWCki|excessive]] [[Kiwi Farms|online]] [[Carpetbaggers|interest]] in the case, Chris's lawyer eventually managed to convince the court to seal the case on 11 [[August 2022]], with "waive right to indictment" and "transportation order" added to his case file. The exact meaning of these legal maneuvers remains unknown.<br />

<br />
[[File:F5IE7YqWwAALxJz.jpg|thumb|right|Free as fuck.]]<br />
<br />
After spending around two years in jail, the Internet was shocked when it was announced that Chris was suddenly released on 27 [[March 2023]]. VineLink initially reported that he was bonded out<ref>[[:File:VineLink Out of Custody 27 March 2023.png]]</ref> before updating their files to say he was released by court order.<ref>[[:File:VineLink Out of Custody 27 March 2023 - 1 49 pm update.png]]</ref> Chris was able to avoid another round of [[Kick the Autistic]] thanks to his lawyer [[David Heilberg]] successfully filing for a motion for an [[Autism disorder deferred disposition|autism disorder deferred disposition]].<br />
<br />
Chris was temporarily moved to [[Gateway Homes]], a group home, as part of conditions imposed by the deferred disposition.<ref>[[Medallion Moulding Q&A]]</ref> Silence ensued for the entire month of [[April 2023]]. In the months after [[May 2023]], Chris started [[Post-jail sightings (2023)|getting spotted around Chesterfield County, Virginia]] doing random activities, such as shopping and playing card games. In a few sightings, Chris was seen with a new [[Medallions#Mark V|Sonichu Medallion]], waning away some hope that Chris had actually improved. Any remaining hope disappeared when Chris [[Post-jail sightings (2023)#Earthbound Trading Company|signed a receipt]] as "[[Messiah complex#Jesus Reborn|J. Christ Chan Sonichu]]."<br />
<br />
In [[June 2023]], [[Caden Peck]] and an LLC purchased a property in [[Big Island]], VA, and at some point, Chris moved into the house. Through out the entire month of [[August 2023]], after Chris's incest case being set to "Resolved Order Pending,"<ref>[[:File:Court Record - Greene Circuit Court - Incest - (Chris, CR22000141-00) - 8 August 2023.png]]</ref> Chris started [[Saga#Incognito Saga (10 August 2023 - 3 September 2023)|rapidly becoming active in random places of the Internet]], progressively setting new milestones, and receiving a surprisingly warm [[Enablers|Enabler]]/[[White-Knighting|White-Knight]]-filled [[Twitter#Post-jail activity|welcome back]].<br />
<br />
On 23 [[August 2023]], Chris made his [[DeviantART#Post-jail|first post-jail social media posts]] on DeviantART as he [[Mass debating|mass]]-posted unseen art made during his period of inactivity, new work on [[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu comics]], and custom [[Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder]] cards.<br />
<br />
[[File:IHaveNotWatchedAnyHentai.png|thumb|left|Chris, having a normal one in a 2024 livestream, where he swears he hasn't been watching hentai.]]<br />
<br />
Just two days later, Chris's incest case was entirely dismissed, officially making Chris a free man.<ref>[[:File:Court Record - Greene Circuit Court - Incest - (Chris, CR22000141-00) - 25 August 2023.png]]</ref> His car was later spotted at [[14 Branchland Court]]. That day also marked the first of many sightings of a mysterious woman, later named [[Flutter]] by Chris.<br />
<br />
Chris's business partnership with Caden Peck continued. By 16 [[October 2023]], Chris would make his full return to the Internet by uploading a bizarre video of himself singing two parodies of songs from the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master album in front of a green screen with clips of Chris dancing overlaid on top of the video throughout. It is likely that Praetor was behind the editing of the video. The next day, Chris would upload another video “Setting the record straight,” giving his side of the story in which he denied ever having sex with Barb, faked the story in order to troll [[Isabella Loretta Janke]], incorrectly claimed the court found him innocent (the incest charge was dismissed following Chris's lawyer's request for an [[autism disorder deferred disposition]]; he was not acquitted by a jury), rambled on about his newfound delusions of being the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and revealed the moniker of the mysterious woman he'd been seen with in recent months, introducing her as Flutter. <br />
<br />
Caden, who had planned to buy a computer for Chris to livestream on prior to the interruption from Chris committing incest, apparently delivered. In the following weeks, Chris would livestream himself playing games while weens would send him donations and text messages with old outdated memes, to attempt to get a rise out of him. Ironically, this has allowed Chris to earn upwards of $600 per stream from the pockets of the very weens that mess with him. [[OfficialCWCmart]] expanded its product line further, with the shop link being promoted in Chris's videos. Another website, [[Cwclight]], a combination sales platform and blog, was also set up.<br />
<br />
Chris has been keeping information about himself rather vague when answering questions in his Q&A livestreams. In [[January 2024]], Chris was able to attend his first [[Animate! Raleigh|convention]] since his release from jail, though he was escorted out by security on the second day after his infamous reputation caught up to him and the weens reported him to the convention staff.<br />
<br />
[[File:Chris Finland.jpeg|thumb|200px|Chris in Helsinki, Finland shopping at Normal]]<br />
<br />
Several times, Chris traveled to [[Finland]] with Flutter.<br />
<br />
As of right now, Chris remains [[Obesity|at large]], but is mostly keeping to himself as outsiders continue peering into his strange life.<br />

'''Megan Schroeder''' (born 23 July [[1986]]) is a former [[gal pal]] of [[Christian Weston Chandler]]'s, with whom he had perhaps the closest [[Chris and socialization|relationship]] with anybody he's ever had in his life. Megan was one [[The Wallflower|of]] [[DoopieDoOver|four]] [[Fiona|potential]] [[sweetheart|sweethearts]] that Chris met that wasn't a [[Troll]], [[Polyamorous marriage| fictional character]], or [[Barbara Chandler|his own mother]].<br />
<br />
Chris first met Megan in the summer of [[2005]] at [[The GAMe PLACe]], where she and her brother [[John]] were regulars. Megan and Chris became good friends, but Chris, being Chris, completely misread their bond as one that could blossom into a true and honest romance. Megan repeatedly tried to set boundaries that Chris either misunderstood or ignored, which led to increasing tensions between the two. This reached a boiling point during the early days of Chris's feud with [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], in which [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|Chris drew a pornographic image of himself and Megan]].<br />
<br />
Following Chris's progressively creepier unwanted advances, and realizing that he drew porn of her, Megan cut off contact with him in early [[2008]]. Since then, Chris has developed an intense and unwarranted [[Chris and anger|grudge]] against her, thanks to misconceptions fed to him by [[Borb|his parents]], and his [[autism|autistic delusions]] about her scheming with [[Michael Snyder]] to have him banned from The GAMe PLACe. Chris's attempted contacts with Megan have dragged on as late as [[2018]]. Thanks to the [[Idea Guys]], he later came to believe that she was a [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|CPU Goddess]], much like [[CPU Blue Heart|himself]], but Chris never got to speak with her again.<br />

{{quote|During the late summer months, I picked up and started the [[Yu-Gi-Oh]] [[Trading Card Game]] (it was around the time the movie came into theaters). One Saturday at the Game Place (Where I was also going for Pokemon TCG on Fridays), I met Megan and [[John's Custom Gundam|John Schroeder]]. At first I thought they were a couple but then they were just Sister and Brother. Over the months of getting to know Megan, I grew fond of her. Although at that time, and up to now, she wasn't interested in a lovely relationship. I've bided to her wishes and requests. I am truly fond of her, and I hope she will have a change of heart soon. She'll be turning 21 on July 23, 2007.|Christian<ref>[[Yep, I'm on TV :)]]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
Megan is a typical ''truly'' [[boyfriend-free girl]], even claiming to be [[Chris and sexuality#Asexuality|asexual]]. She had a few eccentricities, which Chris was more than happy to copy and oblige, namely her fondness for ''[[My Little Pony]]'', ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', and asking Chris to purchase things from [[eBay]] for her. <br />
<br />
Megan and Chris first met at The GAMe PLACe in summer 2004, over a game of ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''. The two apparently struck up a friendship of sorts. They had an obvious connection from the start, since they were both adults who passed their time playing [[card games]] mostly marketed to preteens. It only took [[Third date|a few games]] and a handful of e-mails before Chris saw Megan as his [[sweetheart]]. Megan, however, did not reciprocate this sentiment. It probably didn't help that Megan was getting Chris to buy things for her:<br />
<br />
{{quote|Please can you get this video for me? please hurry! thanks!|Megan, [[Megan emails, 2005-2006#Megan wants a Tintin tape|Megan emails]]}}<br />
Through the end of 2005 and into [[2006]], Chris obsessed over Megan, writing her [[Sonichu 5|into his comic]], trying to drag her into dates, trying to snuggle, hold her hand, kiss her, and other attempted romantic gestures. This didn't accomplish anything but rousing the ire of Megan, who was uncomfortable with these advances and only saw him as a friend, nothing more. She repeatedly tried to assert her asexuality to Chris, in an effort to prevent his advances. Sadly, this fell on deaf ears, and Chris continued to hound her. Even when Megan eventually resorted to claiming she had a boyfriend, Chris was not deterred.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately for her, this was only the beginning...<br />
<br />
==Megan Saga==<br />
<br />
===Sailor Megtune===<br />
{{Main|Sailor Megtune}}<br />
<br />
Megan, like Chris, enjoyed drawing cartoons, and this seems to have caught Chris's eye early in the game:<br />
<br />
{{quote|Everytime I see your drawings, I get inspired to want to work more on [[Sonichu (comic)|my comics]].|Christian, [[Megan emails, 2005-2006#Chris wants to date Megan at McDonald's|Megan emails]]}}<br />
<br />
In what was a fortunate alignment of his ass-kissing campaign with the series of diary entries that ''Sonichu'' had become, Megan (later [[retconned]] as '''Meg-chan''') soon made her first appearance as [[Sailor Megtune]] in [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]] along with [[Megagi La Skunk]], her own furry sidekick. The two are purportedly "[[Sailor Moon|Sailor Soldiers]]" and reveal on the spot that Chris is an old friend of theirs (including Megagi) and thwart the evil [[Jerkop]]s trying to ruin Chris' [[Love Quest]] with Rockin' Hurricane, causing Magic Rocket to [[Team Rocket|blast off again]]. Her influence on the "art" of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' is apparent in Chris's sudden transition to a more [[anime]] style with ''Sonichu'' #5, most notably in his character's eyes, which became large and shiny.<br />
<br />
[[File:Sonichu - Episode 13, Page 27.jpg|thumb|Getting dangerously close to crossing the line...]]<br />
<br />
Megan and Chris appeared to chat about comics in their e-mail conversations; Chris [[Ego|critiqued]] some of her story ideas, and ran the plotline for [[Sonichu 6|''Sonichu'' #6]] by her, including a bizarre offer to write in Megan's own imaginary daughter. While Megan probably found the whole thing harmlessly eccentric at first, ''Sonichu'' #5 managed to create some drama pretty quickly upon its release. Megan undoubtedly flipped when she saw her character getting romantic with Chris, as well as being portrayed in a sexualized manner. Chris completely failed to comprehend why she was angry, but did [[retcon]] a couple of pages to tone them down. This did not placate Megan, however.<br />
<br />
===Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown===<br />
{{main|Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown}}<br />
{{See also|Megan emails, Aug-Dec 2007}}<br />
<br />
{{quote|In any case, I LOATHE [[Adam Stackhouse|Adam]] and his Sister for STEALING my one chance at taking my Sweet [[Gal pal|Gal-Friend]] to [[Wikipedia:Seattle|Seattle]]; [[Chris and rape|it would have been terriffic]].

<br />
Megan spent the summer of [[2007]] in [[Wikipedia:Kentucky|Kentucky]], where her brother was taking a summer course in Mechanics. Undeterred, Chris continued e-mailing her, refusing to back away even for a moment as he ''still'' believed that, deep down inside, Megan truly did love him. Discovering Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown and the prizes for victory, Chris eagerly entered the contest, hoping to win a [[PSP]] and use the trip offered in the contest to win her [[china|heart]]. In the end, as expected, Chris lost (even after extensive cheating), [[Adam Stackhouse]] won, and Megan didn't care. Even when Chris began whining to her and others about how Adam and everyone else except Chris had somehow cheated, Megan didn't care either way. This childish behavior eventually resulted in Megan losing her temper with Chris, reprimanding him for his selfishness and inappropriate behavior. Despite being hurt by her outburst, Chris continued to harass Megan in much the same way as before.<br />

<br />
[[File:ShecameforCWC (200803).JPG|thumb|...And the line has officially been crossed.]]<br />
<br />
In November 2007, Chris discovered his [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] page and began his one-man crusade [[Sonichu 8|against the garbage]]. In the process, he uploaded a number of [[Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack|pornographic and lewd]] artworks, one of which was [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|a picture of him fingering Megan]] with her eyes obscured. Trolls originally believed that she was [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his imaginary sister Crystal]], which prompted an outraged Chris to try to deny accusations of [[Chris and sex#Incest|incestuous desires]] by revealing that the image was actually meant to represent Megan.<ref>[[List of Chris's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica#March 2008|Chris confirms Megan's identity on 18 March 2008.]]</ref><ref name="secondmessage"/><br />
<br />
By 12 [[March 2008]], Megan discovered the picture depicting her and demanded that it be removed immediately. Chris attempted to do so, but found himself blocked at every turn. His edits were quickly reverted, or even worse, compounded, as he tried to upload other versions of the picture with the face cropped out or obscured. On 21 [[April 2008]] Megan wrote an email to Chris saying she was not comfortable being around him anymore,<ref>[[Megan emails, 2008#Megan can't trust Chris anymore]]</ref> thus putting an end to their friendship.<br />
<br />
Throughout the fiasco, Chris brashly attempted to paint himself as a greater victim than Megan, initially even assuming that she didn't understand what was going on in the picture. He later admitted that he created the image in part to suppress the occasional impulse to '''[[rape]] her''', and that trying to assert that what she was going through just ''being'' in the picture and learning what he could have done was ''nothing'' compared to the misery of the [[troll]]ing he was enduring.<ref>[[Megan emails, 2008#Chris continues bothering her about ED]]</ref><br />
<br />
Evidence suggests that Megan was distancing herself from Chris even before she discovered the awful drawing. Comments by former GAMe PLACe patrons [[Daniel Mimms]] and [[Lucas]] indicate that Megan was already avoiding Chris before she found out ShecameforCWC.<ref>[[Mimms and Lucas Q&A#Initial post|Mimms and Lucas Q&A]]: "Megan would usually stand/hide behind me and Lucas to avoid [Chris], '''especially after''' the drawings of her got leaked [emphasis added]." This comment suggests that Megan was avoiding Chris before ShecameforCWC came to her attention. In their [[Mimms and Lucas Q&A#Chris and Megan|discussion of Megan]], Mimms and Lucas seem to attribute Chris's groping as the main factor behind the deterioration of his relationship with her, while giving little weight to ShecameforCWC.</ref> Chris himself has partially confirmed this account on the [[CWCipedia]].<ref>[[CWCipedia]] on [https://archive.vn/rB99e Megan]: "When I started getting too close, [Megan] started to feel uncomfortable, My Bad. Then she distanced herself from me, saw other dudes, including a possible homosexual."</ref> It might very well be that ShecameforCWC was the last step in euthanizing a dying relationship, rather than killing a vibrant and living one.<br />

==Aftermath==<br />
{{quote|Too bad I was never just that too all into him.|Cartoon Megan, "I Am The TRUE, Original CCWC"}}<br />
<br />
{{quote|Megan... WHY?!|Christian, <br />
"I Am The TRUE, Original CCWC"}}<br />
<br />
Despite Megan telling him she was no longer comfortable being in his presence, Chris was not willing to give up on her. On 11 [[2008#June|June 2008]], Chris sent an email to a person named Tyler Wane, asking Tyler to deliver Megan the birthday gift Chris bought for her (a German-English dictionary). Chris said he could not deliver her the gift himself due to being "forced into hiatus from the Pokemon League by that S.O.B. [[Michael Snyder|Mike]]". Tyler in response suggested to Chris to arrange meeting with Megan outside [[The GAMe PLACe]].<ref><[[Chris emails 2008#June]]</ref> <br />
<br />
Megan surfaced again in Chris's thoughts in [[July 2009]], first in the [[CWC "Boyfriend"]] video, and then in the subsequent update, [[I Am The TRUE, Original CCWC]]. Chris also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCo72hJ-SAg reposted] the Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown entry, though this version is slightly different from the ones frequently seen in latter days: After "...my friend Megan!", Chris inserted a short break with a photo of him and Megan, with a lovely heart frame. Either this is the original version before Chris tried to clean up his image, or a brand new version with new improved references to the long-lost love.<br />
<br />
On 26 [[March 2009]], he released a [[CWC Major Update 26 March 2009 |Captain's Log]] where he told everyone to [[Chris and Hypocrisy|"leave her alone"]] because she was going through [[stress]] from the [[trolls]], and threatened to stop drawing the comic if they didn't. At the beginning of the video Chris claims that he was recently contacted by Megan, though it was most likely a troll posing as her seeing as she had cut off all ties with him.<br />
<br />
On 12 [[August 2009]], he dedicated a song to Megan in one of his [[KCWC Top 10 Dedication Special]] videos, where the first sign that he'd convinced himself that she'd told him "I Love You" comes up (and he remains relatively consistent when speaking of her in acting as though this actually happened).<br />
<br />
{{quote|Coming up next at #7, we got another long-distance dedication, to the old [[gal-pal]] of mine that I almost had a ra- I had meant to be- I had her "I love you" before I got kicked out, Megan Schroeder, her, from her favorite, this is from her favorite h-artist, Yngwie Malmsteen.|Christian, "[[KCWC Top 10 Dedication Special]]"}}<br />
<br />
In 2010, he created a [[:File:ModNation GalPal.jpg|model of Megan]] for ''[[ModNation Racers]]'' (named "Gal Pal"), showing that he still couldn't let go.<br />
<br />
=== Chris's version of events ===<br />
On 16 [[May 2010]], the [[CWCipedia]]'s new fan manager Daria Camacho created a page for Megan, using the link on Chris's page of [[Gal-Pals and Past Sweethearts (CWCipedia page)|gal-pals and sweethearts]]. When Chris discovered it, he erased all of Daria's text and wrote his own version. The abridged version of events he presents is much shorter than his gigantic [[Damien Antaria (CWCipedia page)|rant on The Wallflower]], probably because the events of the Megan Saga are beginning to fade from his memory.<br />
<br />
{{quotebox|If you REALLY MUST KNOW...<br />
<br />
Megan and I first met at a Yu-Gi-Oh Tournament at The G&H Place, back when it was still in the Downtown Mall. It was around the time the Y.G.O. Movie debuted in theaters. She and I, we talked, hung out and became really good friends.<br />
<br />
"I DID have lovey-dovey feelings for her, and I still care about her as a friend. I did her a number of favors by getting her this and that off of eBay, then she would reimburse me the cost of each item.<br />
<br />
When I started getting too close, she started to feel uncomfortable, My Bad. Then she distanced herself from me, saw other dudes, including a possible [[homos]]exual.<br />
<br />
I drew that drawing of her and me that is unfortunately popular among everyone who tends to haze me for TWO REASONS. Firstly, because of My Own Wishful Thinking. And second a tool in a lame attempt to overcrowd the E.D. page against me with Bu**C*** with my own "information" to shut it down.<br />
<br />
Ever since, she totally spaced herself from me, like as if she had put a restraining order against, which she did not. And as I was being forced off the Place premesis the last day I was there, she stood by and watched in shock. She could have spoken up for me, but she did not.<br />
<br />
I have lost communication with Megan since then.}}<br />
<br />
In the months and years after his "breakup" with Megan, Chris came to try and act as if he'd gotten over her. His [[Damien Antaria (CWCipedia page)|CWCipedia page]] on [[The Wallflower]], for instance, claimed "I had LOOOOOONG moved on from Megan."<br />
<br />
However, a lingering attachment betrayed itself on occasion. The archive of his [[Gal-Pals and Past Sweethearts (CWCipedia page)|female acquaintances]] on the CWCipedia noted, "I still miss her sometimes." In an [[Jackie e-mails Part 2#Chris lies about The Game Place|e-mail to Jackie]] from April 2010, when he recounted having his picture taken at The GAMe PLACe, Chris said, "I was in a state of shock from seeing Megan and (her short-lived romance) Christopher MAKING OUT. '''That Should Have Been Me.'''"<br />
<br />
==The Blame Game==<br />
<br />
=== Origins ===<br />
[[File:Megan Schroeder - 2013 September.jpeg|thumb|Megan, years later, still recovering from her ordeal. Out of frame: [[JERKS|JERK]].]]<br />
The [[Matthew Noble call]] of August 2010 revealed that [[Bob]] and [[Barbara]] disliked and distrusted Megan, believing that she conspired with Michael Snyder and "some [[homos]]exual[s]" to get Chris banned from The GAMe PLACe. Barbara also mentions how Megan "lied" about something, suggesting that she believes Megan to be a troll.<br />
<br />
In a call between Bob and [[ThePCAssassins]] Bob tells the caller that Megan is a [[Bob Call 6|"little low life in the gutter bitch."]]<br />
<br />
It is possible that this belief originated with Chris, as in his correspondence with [[Katie Bay]], he lists Megan as a "possible troll".<ref>[[Katie Bay E-mails 2#26 July]]</ref> His reasoning was typical Chris - she had a vagina and didn't want to give him access to it. He also appears to have [[Autism|confused her with another white female brunette]] that placed a sign on his lawn on [[Halloween]] [[2008]].<br />
<br />
=== Chris Doxes Megan ===<br />
<br />
A series of leaked Facebook postings beginning in [[February 2012]] revealed Chris' ever-growing, pathological, and extreme hatred for Megan. His animosity for Megan supposedly grew much more vitriolic after buying into his parents' [[Chris and reality|completely baseless]] belief that Megan was responsible for the "Hate and Smear Campaign" against Chris:<br />
<br />
{{quote|EVERYONE, I have most urgent news. It is Final in My Mind, and from my mother as an eye and ear witness of her consorting with [[Michael Snyder]] LONG Before Novembef, [[2007]]; Megan Schroeder IS the SEED of the Whole Hate and Smear Campaign Against Me on the [[Internet]]. If any of you all Know where she is, or have clues of her, or her brother...current wherabouts, Please Inform Me on THIS WALL, Posthaste. She is Needed Brought to me, my mother and [[Rob Bell|our attorney]], for Great Questioning, and a Huge Piece of my mind. Thank You, Christian W. Chandler|Chris, Facebook, [[February 2012 Facebook Posts#Urgent news|February 18, 2012]]}}<br />
<br />
In the following days, Chris posted her contact information in hopes that his friends would troll her. Thankfully, this effort was not successful.<br />
<br />
[[File:Fbp10.png|thumb|Chris's moronic attempt at trolling back Megan. He exhibits a belief that if you simply dox people online, they get trolled back, not realizing the large number of reasons why this only happened to him.]]<br />
<br />
On 4 April [[2013]], Chris denounced The GAMe PLACe and called for Megan to be "jailed and beaten up", describing her as a "vile, wicked, traitorous bitch"<ref>[[April 2013 Facebook posts#Leaving the Game Place behind]]</ref>&mdash;a rare display of hatred upon a woman not seen from Chris since [[Mary Lee Walsh]]. Judging by a 20 July 2013 Facebook post, Chris seems to be holding Schroeder, along with [[Michael Snyder|Snyder]], to be the main culprit behind the various misfortunes he had over the years.<ref>[[July 2013 Facebook Posts#Spring Breakers]]</ref><br />
<br />
=== Megagi La Scapegoat ===<br />
<br />
Chris's vitriol for Megan continues almost six years after his ban from [[The GAMe PLACe]], and he has even resorted to using Megan as a scapegoat for everything bad that happens to him even if he is blatantly responsible. In the aftermath of a permaban from [[Wal-Mart]] on the weekend of 7 September 2013 for having vandalized an [[Xbox]] One display, Chris flew into an incoherent rage and began blaming Megan for both his Wal-mart and GAMe PLACe bans:<br />
<br />
{{quote|If it had not been for Mr. "[[Manajerk]]", Megan Schroeder, and their Internet Troll/Cyber-Bully Breeding and Meeting Ground, Cville's Hobbies, Games and Toys, My Family and I would not have had go through all of the emotionally depressing, and Financial Downfall to [[Financhu Crisis|the depths of Greatly Poor and Just Getting By!]] The Manajerk has drained us financially, thinking we are freaking rich.

<br />
[[File:Sept13 Imgur 28.jpg|thumb|left|Megan's fate as a Lego voodoo doll. Notice her goth style clothing.]]<br />
On 24 September 2013, Chris claimed in a Facebook post to have received an email from Daniel Mimms about Megan's current whereabouts. He now classes her with the Witch ([[Mary Lee Walsh]]) and the Bastard ([[Michael Snyder]]), and makes three [[Lego]] minifigs of them and shakes them together as a sort of punishment.<ref>[[September 2013 Facebook Posts#Voodoo-Wise]]</ref><ref>[[September 2013 Facebook Posts#Yep, the Bitch has not changed a thing...]]</ref> Of course, the notion that Chris can perform [[Wikipedia:Sympathetic magic|sympathetic magic]] to harm his enemies is [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha|befitting]] with his [[Chris and reality|other delusions]]. Chris continued to use this Lego minifigure of Megan as a totem to relieve his anger for her, and it appeared a month later "in detention" at [[CWC Lego Manchester High School Oct 18 2013|Lego Manchester High]].<br />
<br />
On 3 October 2013, Chris posted another [[October 2013 Facebook Posts#Megagi La Skunk agrees that you should have never been born|rambling tirade directed at Megan]] to Facebook. This time, Chris claimed that [[Megagi La Skunk]], Megan's cartoon character that she probably doesn't even remember making, told him that she is "deeply distrustful" and agrees with Chris that Megan should have never been born. Additionally, as if she would even care, Megan's [[Sailor Megtune]] "powers" were "revoked" by Chris. On top of reiterating the previous "wrongdoings" by Megan, Chris has proven nothing at all, except perhaps that he suffers from [[Chris and reality|some form of]] [[Chris and anger|mental illness.]]<br />
<br />
{{quote|<br />
You ungrateful bitch. Quit hiding behind the Anons, Trolls, PLace People and every Damned Person who you have deceived into siding with you.<br />
<br />
By the way, I have checked with Megagi La Skunk; she feels deep distrust in you. We mutually agree that you should have never been born, even if it meant she would never exist. Also, your Sailor Megtune powers; I created them for you; I have taken them away from you! Usagi and the Sailor Scouts would have been most ashamed of you.<br />
<br />
...And by the way, I pray you have been having Really Bad Luck, Feeling Paranoid of EVERYONE, and Shakingly Stressed, because I continue to leave your minifigure upside-down and shaken with the Witch and the Bastard! And I have been feeling the very same grave emotions myself for the Six Long Years, you damn, dirty bitch!|Chris, Facebook, October 3, 2013}}<br />
<br />
Chris ended his first rant with a comment reading "NOBODY ELSE COMMENT THIS POST!!!", possibly because he's tired of having his atrocious behavior called out by even the most ass-patting of his friends. The following day, Chris focused all his blame like a laser beam on Megan, insisting that she is responsible for the [[CWCki]], virtually all of his [[List of places that have banned Chris|bans]], the "theft" of his [[Sailor Moon]] DVDs ''yet again'', and astonishingly, even the fact that he lacks a sweetheart. That's right: not only is Megan the one who's responsible for everything Chris inflicted on himself, but also Chris will ''only'' forgive Megan after he gets [[Chris and sex#Prostitution|unpaid]] [[china]] he feels entitled to.<br />
<br />
{{quote|I will only forgive Megan, and remove all curses upon her, when she apologizes to me In Person and Face To Face, when the Cwcki, its forum, and Everything Else Against me on the Freaking Internet is GONE, GONE, GONE, when I am NOT BANNED FROM ANYWHERE, when I get my original Uncut Sailor Moon DVDs returned to me, when my Good Name is Cleared of all of the bad, AND when I have my female Sweetheart for Forever. And I am Not Stepping Down beforehand.|Chris, Facebook, October 4, 2013, 10:09am}}<br />
<br />
=== Megan, Queen of the Trolls ===<br />
<br />
Roughly two hours later, Chris posted another Facebook message. While seemingly intending to explain the methodology of Megan's master [[troll]] scheme, to everyone else it actually reads more like valid condemnations of Chris' obnoxious behavior by his peers and authority figures. Finally, Chris re-iterated his desire not to hear any criticism from his friends, instructing others not to comment on his post and challenging Megan to a face-to-face meeting. Whether Megan cares enough to challenge, in-person, a delusional 31-year old who lives with his [[Barb|mother]] remains yet to be seen.<br />
<br />
{{quote|Megan, I KNOW you and the PLace employee continuously conversed and conspired against me. "Christian is so weird. " "Tell me about it." "He hangs onto me, touching me, clinging onto my every word. Ugh." "I can not stand his shouting outbursts that echos in my head after both of those times he stressed out." "I want to just kill him; destroy his goody-two-shoes nature, soul, heart and all that shit my mashed potato grenade could shatter, but leave his body in tact, so I'm not committed for murder." "I just want to ban him from "MY" store forever." "I got it! Let's get an embarrassing photo of him, post it online, and put him to shame forever!" "Mimms and Lucas are tech freaks! Let's enlist them." "Yeah! Chris will be banned from "YOUR" store based on the hyped up mal online reputation; he will be out of my life forever. Pending possible nightmares and night terrors to come, but who the fuck cares; his Autistic, Fragile mind will shatter along with his heart after I kiss my homosexual fake boyfriend in front of him!" ""HA HA HA HA HA AHA HA HA!!!!!""<br />
<br />
I am onto your game that took away six years of my life and destroyed me; you either pay me what you owe, or I continue to curse and haunt you with my father at my side.|Chris, Facebook, October 4, 2013, 12:44pm}}<br />
<br />
Chris later deleted the two posts prior to this one; a few hours later, he deleted this one as well.<br />
<br />
In late 2020, Chris [[Spirit possession|(while "possessed" by Sonichu)]] revealed that he no longer believed Megan to be a troll, but that "[Chris] was to blame for all of the very stupid impulses and mistakes that ended that friendship."<ref>[[Discord Q&A 11#Chris's Closest Friend]]</ref> This seeming forgiveness may have been spurred on by his belief that Megan is a CPU goddess. It also shows [[Chris and his ego#Persecution complex|Chris's self-serving memory]] in action, considering that she was justified to feel uncomfortable at his unwanted advances on her and understandably creeped out by ShecameforCWC.JPG.<br />
<br />
==CPU Red Heart==<br />
{{Quote|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.}}<br />
<br />
In the video [[Dimensional Merge Announcements]], where Chris announces the Dimensional Merge, Chris mentions that Megan herself has become a CPU Goddess in the form of Sailor Megtune, aka '''CPU Red Heart'''. Chris also mentions how his prior grudge towards her has also dissipated, and encourages fans to not harass her.<br />
<br />
Chris then told [[The Captain]] to text Megan, and then the following post on Kiwi Farms. According to him, Megan was genuinely touched by Chris declaring her as a CPU Goddess, and feels sorry for him, but also decided not to meet with him under any circumstances.<br />
<br />
{{quoteboxkiwi|This video legitimately makes me sad.<br />
<br />
He's very muted here.. totally not like him at all.<br />
<br />
He did text me asking me to send it to Megan so I did.. I'm waiting for her response.<br />
<br />
Edit: She's genuinely touched and really liked whoever is posting as Donald Trump. She feels bad for Chris but will not be meeting up with him under any circumstances.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (The Captain)#Captain texts Megan]]</ref>}}<br />

{{quote|I just say let her, wherever she is, live her life, and I'll just stay here, liv- living mine. It's all done and over with.|Chris}}<br />
<br />
On 26 [[January 2016]], in the [[CatKnight Interview 2|second CatKnight interview]], Sir Arthur Spatchcock brought up the topic of Megan and the [[February 2012 Facebook Posts#Urgent news|grudge]] [[February 2012 Facebook Posts#Pissed off|Chris]] [[February 2012 Facebook Posts#Damn You|had]] [[February 2012 Facebook Posts#Address|against]] [[October 2013 Facebook Posts#GAMe PLACe revelations|her]]. Chris claimed that he has finally gotten over that grudge, wishing for her to be left alone to live her own life.<br />
<br />
In February 2017, Chris looked up and browsed through Megan's Facebook account,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#Found Megan's Facebook]]</ref> sharing one of her drawings to his own account. When asked by [[Kim Wilson]] if they were friends again, Chris responded:<br />
<br />
{{quotebox|Not quite; I just gone through my past and recent sent friend requests, found Megan Schroeder, and I liked her cover photo; it's cute. She has a few cute dogs too. At least, she's doing okay; as far as I can tell.}}<br />
<br />
The act of searching for his ex-[[gal pal]] came just four days after Chris posted about his feelings of nostalgia for his "friends" from [[Manchester High]].<br />
<br />
Megan was asked about Chris on her Etsy page on July 1 2017. This was her response: <ref>https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aj5gd-lUeHJyhUknNI2IkmGQC1eq</ref><br />
<br />
{{quotebox|'''Hi'''<br />
<br />
Thank you very much! Unfortunately with Chris he never learns from his mistakes, he refuses to accept any accountability. When I heard about the house fire, I thought maybe it was a blessing in disguise and he would start a new better life with a clean slate. But from whatI hear, no, he still begs for money and spends it all on legos...<br />
<br />
Well thanks for the good wishes, I really appreciate that!}}<br />
<br />
On 9 [[October 2017]], Chris once again looked up Megan's Facebook for her online store and left a comment on it:<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#Complimenting Megan Schroeder]]</ref><br />
<br />
{{quotebox|I just wanted to tell you I like your craft and are. You have become a lot more talented over the years. Many blessing to you and your family. 🌸}}<br />
<br />
The post was later removed.<br />
<br />
During the [[Idea Guys]] saga, Chris's belief in multiple dimensions was exploited and his sense of reality 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 Megan include:<br />
<br />
*Megan having the memories of [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|CPU Red Heart]], which she earned while in politics.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190528042422/https://twitter.com/cwcsonichu/status/1015420612494397441</ref><br />
<br />
On 19 [[May 2018]], a full decade after Megan cut off all communications with him, Chris issued a public apology to Megan and her brother and expressed his desire to reopen old wounds by speaking with them:<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/997900592084238336</ref><br />
<br />
{{quotebox|I want to once again humbly apologize to Megan and John Schroeder. I know I did y'all wrong back in the day but time heals all wounds. It would be nice to hear from you with just a simple "hi" or "best of luck". After all of These Years I still need closure.}}<br />
<br />
When asked why he would issue this apology publicly when she clearly does not want to be associated with him, Chris responded that he had no choice because she blocked him on Facebook.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/997901813868257281</ref><br />
<br />
On 17 [[October 2018]] (during the timeframe when [[2018 Twitter account compromise|Chris's Twitter account was being compromised]]) Chris's Twitter account declared that if he and Barb received [[Financhu Crisis|enough donations]], he would drive over to Megan's house and take Barb and his "[[Polyamorous marriage|poly-loves]]" with him.<ref>[[October 2018 social media posts#Donation drive to see Megan]]</ref> About nineteen minutes later, the Twitter account backtracked on the claim after learning from [[The Captain]]<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (The Captain)#Megan's Guns]]</ref> that Megan possesses guns.<ref>[[October 2018 social media posts#Megan's got dat stick]] / https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1052621336751702019</ref> Due to the account compromise, it is unclear whether the messages had been sent by Chris.<br />
<br />
In [[the Sons of the Miscreants chats]], [[MKRNightVee]] claimed that Chris wanted her to befriend Megan in order to help him resume communication with Megan. MKR declined to get involved out of concern for Megan.<br />
<br />
On 4 [[April 2019]], a trailer for the documentary ''[[Chris Chan VS. The Internet]]'' was released, which featured brief footage of and narration by a brunette woman, shot from behind, speculated and later confirmed to be Megan herself. [[Geno Samuel]] claimed that Megan actually wanted to physically reunite with Chris, thinking it would be fun; the film's director, Joseph Draft, vetoed this, feeling it would be "too corny and forced".<ref>[[:File:Geno on Draft docu.png]]</ref> [[Naught]] claimed both that Megan later requested that her footage be cut entirely from the film, and that Draft destroyed the hard drive containing the film's only known completed copy.<ref>[[Official CWCki Server chats (Naught)#Chris Chan VS. The Internet]]</ref><br />
<br />
On 20 [[September 2020]], in the [[Watchmen]] Discord server, [[The Place]], Chris, while [[Spirit possession|role-playing]] as [[Sonichu]], described having viewed the ''Chris Chan Vs. The Internet'' trailer and then had an emotional breakdown over his perceived issues with Megan.<ref>[[The Place chats - Megan Obsession]]</ref><br />
{{quotebox|Mama off and on would also see Megan in her dreams; simply being there. An awkward moment, and Mama’s impulse was to back away and leave her be.<br />
<br />
Now, I can move back to last night.<br />
<br />
While trying to fall asleep after hitting the hay at about 1:30 am, for Hours, Chris-Core kept on thinking about it and searching further into these emotions and all. This body cried a LOT, and yes, I’ve had to blow its nose.}}<br />
Additionally, Chris further described his past with Megan, reiterating his desire for a face to face, "heart to heart" chat with her. Near the end of the chat, Chris once again claimed that Megan is the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|CPU Goddess Red Heart]] of a rare Nintendo console only released in Germany.<br />
<br />
On 5 [[November 2020]], in another chat in The Place, Chris described the coverage of Megan in the Chris Chan Youtube series ''[[Beneath the Bridge]]'' as a "real mixed bag", admitting that he had been cringing and crying throughout most of it.<ref>[[The Place chats - Beneath the Bridge]]</ref><br />
{{quotebox|The multi-part vids about Megan were a real mixed bag; more than half of the time, it hit the nerves in the core of this body, some cringe, a bunch of crying, and so on.}}<br />
<br />
On 7 [[January 2021]], Megan was asked if her association with Chris and the ensuing status of minor internet celebrity that came with it was ever thought about. She gave a [[Honest Content|True and Honest]] response, saying that she doesn't even think of it.<ref>[[:File:Megan question January 2021.png]]</ref><br />
<br />
On 25 [[March 2021]], in a yet another chat in The Place, Chris, while role-playing as a psychic detective of a future murder, brought up Megan. Having narrowed down the supposed victims to one of two, Chris claimed that Megan will need extra defense. [[Kyle]] and [[MKR]] quickly discouraged Chris from considering this further, reminding him that Megan has a gun and knows how to defend herself.<ref>[[The Place chats - Psychic Detective]]</ref><br />
{{quotebox|I’m not finalized which of the two, but the victim is either in California or Virginia.<br />
And, Megan Schroeder, in Virginia, here, is one who will (also) need some extra defense on her part during this present time as well.}}<br />
<br />
In the 17 [[October 2023]] video [[Setting the Record straight - there never was any sex involving me in 2021]], Chris singled out Megan during a segment in which he complained about people blocking him, saying that she and others had their chance to [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|actually be kind and compassionate towards him]].<br />
<br />
In the 19 [[May 2025]] video [[Grounded Deep Response]], while attempting to do an [[introspection]] on his public image, Chris brought up Megan while describing the effects of toxic people and trolls in his life. In a slip of the tongue, he started to describe his association with her as a "relationship", before adjusting himself to "friendship."<br />
<br />
==Interviews==<br />
During January 2019, a YouTuber by the moniker BazzBe interviewed Megan over Facebook. BazzBe then put together a video narrating the chat.<br />

===Transcript===<br />
{{quoteboxyellow|[''autistic sigh''] Oh man. Alright, so, like I said earlier in the video [this is part five of a series, he is apparently referring to an earlier part], I did get the chance to speak to Megan today. Um, hold on [fiddles with screen, which due to being 480px is almost completely unreadable on YouTube] ... uh huh, I was [hiding?] the messages.<br />
<br />
So basically, I messaged her, uh, it was accidentally, but I messaged her on her business page because apparently she's in business now and, like, cool. So she asked me to talk to her on her normal page, so I did, I found her, and I asked her: so, I'm sure that you know what I want to talk about, things from past events.<br />
<br />
She said: '''Oh yeah, you know, Chris.'''<br />
<br />
And I told her, like, I'm very drawn to the story, I've been covering it on YouTube, and I figured it would be cool if I could contact to you so I could see how things, like, how you feel about it nowadays.<br />
<br />
She goes: '''Well honestly, I don't follow his antics at all, I've seen a few recent things from someone that alerts me that he's doing things regarding me or whatever.'''<br />
<br />
And I asked her, well, were you ever really friends, or did you just feel pity for him?<br />
<br />
She said, '''No, I'd say despite his advances, it was a good friendship. He was a lot of fun to converse with. People think that I was using him for things.''' (Which I've heard a lot of people say she was just using him to buy things, but it's been like fifteen years, what would she gain from lying to us?) '''People think that I've been using him for things, but I'd always presented him gifts for his birthday or Christmas. Things from eBay I would either give cash or trade for mangas or DVDs or whatever.'''<br />
<br />
I said, did you ever think you would reunite, how do you feel about ... sorry I'm tired ... how do you feel about being a part of all this and having a fanbase?<br />
<br />
And she said, '''I didn't know I had fans too.'''<br />
<br />
[''Vaguely thirsty grin''] You do! '''Personally I think it's best to stay away and not be involved with him again.''' I said, yeah, you do have a fanbase, and you're definitely the saddest part of the story in my opinion. I do generally believe that, now I know a lot about some of the upcoming stuff that's coming to the fore but I will say Megan was the part where it started going downhill. She was the beginning of the snowball effect, and I think that's when the rock bottom starts to come if you know what I mean, 'cause that was like, the last real friend he had before he fucked it all up.<br />
<br />
Ah, ok, where was I at?<br />
<br />
'''Comparing him now, I'd say he was definitely more normal during my time with him. That's saying something.'''<br />
<br />
How many others have contacted you over this?<br />
<br />
'''Oh, I couldn't keep count. It's always been through facebook and as well as Etsy, it's always been half and half condolences and trolls, weens trying to get a reaction or a reply out of me.'''<br />
<br />
I told her I was just fascinated by the whole thing and I'm happy to have contacted you and have you take the time to take part in this. And she didn't mind, I was very awesome, I mean, damn that's cool. I was always, oh, I'm sorry, I was wanting to interview her on Discord so I could record our voices talking about it, but honestly I didn't think she would know how to use Discord, [''strange noise''], I'm not saying anything bad, she's a little bit older than me, also, it was like 9:30 in the morning so ... I told her I was sorry to bother her and I understand this might be affecting your life in a negative way because I understand about the artwork and stuff. And she said well, not necessarily, I made a couple of really close friends because of it, I think there's a misconception out there that the whole thing traumatized me which isn't the case at all.<br />
<br />
That's good. That's actually something I was curious about. And I asked her [''laughs''], does she still enjoy Sailor Moon and My Little Pony?<br />
<br />
She said, '''I have a Sailor Moon collection but I don't actively collect it anymore. It's been both a hobby and an investment. A few dolls sell now on eBay for $500 each. That's for Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and MLP''' -- My Little Pony [''autistic smirk''] -- '''I sold those off a few years ago. I still play 3DS games and have a few Pikachu plush but I'm not into the whole anime fandom thing.'''<br />
<br />
OK, fair enough. I asked her do you still remain in Virginia or did you escape?<br />
<br />
She said she's still in Virginia and she's done some traveling around and overseas. So, then she told me that she was going to take her dogs or go feed her animals, and I said that was fine, but then I just went ahead and said hey, let's just postpone the rest of this and we'll just finish up tomorrow or, like, another day. Um ... yeah [''smirks again''] There's so much more I want to find out and I want to see, like, what all she's willing to discuss, but if you're interested in, like, I wouldn't say contacting, because I don't want anyone to really harass this woman, let her live her life.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in buying one of her, uh, forest things ... I didn't actually really take the time to look at these, they're kind of cool ... [''weird smile, long pause''] ... but yeah, if you're interested in like, buying one of these, um, I'd say contact her, they look pretty interesting and you know some people have, like, a thing for cute animals, and I think I might just buy one, just to promote, so, thank you Megan, I really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me about this stuff today. Hopefully we can continue this and go a little bit deeper into it, but, alright. Thank you guys for washing, I really appreciate it, drop me a like, subscribe, help me out, and I will see you guys for part six. I can't wait. Goodnight.}}<br />
<br />
A lost interview was also conducted at some point during 2019, for the cancelled ''[[Chris Chan VS. The Internet]]'' documentary, however, the director got cold feet and refused to release any of the documentary footage. A single line of Megan's from the interview is preserved from the documentary's trailer: "Now, he... he seems like a totally different person to me."<br />

{{quote|OMG guys it gets WORSE! I threw up a little in my mouth after watchinq this. If you have a weak stomach, turn back now.|Kellie's reaction to Chris several years after High School.<ref>[[December 2013 Facebook posts]]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
'''Kellie Andes''' was [[Chris]]'s crush in [[Manchester High School|high school]] that he met in sophomore year. They lost contact in mid-[[2001]].<ref>[[:Image:0309-CWCNote5.jpg|DVD, note 5]]</ref> Today, Chris thinks he had a chance with her but blew it due to [[naïve|naïveté]].<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#The Teenage Years]]</ref> Chris calls her his [[Gal-Pals and Past Sweethearts (CWCipedia page)|High School Sweetheart]], despite the fact that the term is usually reserved for people that are officially dating.<br />
<br />
==During High School==<br />
Kellie was Chris's lab partner in chemistry class at Manchester High, along with [[Gal pal#Sarah Anne Bevel|Sarah Anne Bevel]]. Chris developed a crush on her in his sophomore year. She was apparently friendly enough with Chris to attend [[My big 18th party|his 18th birthday party]], where she gave him a jawbreaker.<br />
<br />
==After High School==<br />
Unlike most of his gal-pals, Chris managed to keep in touch with Kellie for some time after graduation. He gave her a [[Christian's Favorite Hits!#Other Releases|personalized CD]] for [[Christmas]] 2000. He claims to have called her every weekend for about a year to a year and a half. Then he stopped. He has told contradictory stories about why. In notes he made for his [[DVD]] in 2007, he said that the cause was [[noviophobia]]: "I was afraid that you [Kellie] may have moved on to someone who you may have called your sweetheart."<ref>[[DVD Slideshow Transcripts#CWC Note 3]]</ref> In 2009, however, he told [[Kacey]] that one week, he just forgot to call Kellie, and, having broken the routine, never resumed.<ref>[[Kacey Call 6]]</ref> Even more confusing, while his May 2009 [[Wikipedia]] profile indicated that he believed that he could have gotten some from Kellie if he just hadn't been so damn shy, a few months later he told Kacey that his [[Barb|mother]] had informed him back in 2001 that Kellie obviously had a boyfriend at senior prom, and that his weekly phone calls were in vain. In 2014, he changed his story again to make himself seem less clueless, implying that he had figured out for himself around graduation (not a year later) that Kellie was dating someone.<ref>[[Catherine E-mails#Ex-gal pals]]</ref><br />
<br />
His mother's eye-opener in 2001 that Kellie had been someone else's sweetheart all along was a "shock" to Chris that lasted for several weeks. It broke his last remaining tie to his high school life. It obviously contributed to his sense of loneliness and self-doubt. <br />
<br />
Chris never had a chance with Kellie under any scenario. In [[User:Delabonte/Kellie|2010 correspondence]], Kellie confirmed that Chris was definitely not her type. <br />
<br />
{{quote|I never liked Christian in that way. Christian is def. not my type nor has he ever been.|Kellie, describing her relations with Chris}}<br />
<br />
Throughout 2013, as Chris planned the fifteenth annual Manchester High School reunion, he fantasized about hanging out with Kellie, but in reality she wanted nothing to do with him. In [[December 2013]], Kellie discovered Chris's antics since high school and provided some telling commentary. She shared a link on her [[Facebook]] page for Chris's [[For J-R's Eyes Only.MOV]] video with the comment, "OMG guys it gets WORSE! I threw up a little in my mouth after watching this. If you have a weak stomach, turn back now."<ref>[[December 2013 Facebook Posts#It Gets WORSE!]]</ref> Chris admitted in 2014 that Kellie had blocked him on Facebook a few years earlier.<br />
<br />
In [[February 2021]], [[Bella]] allegedly impersonated Kellie in a set of e-mails to Chris (misspelling her name as Kelly), which Chris responded to.<ref>[[Bella chats#Kelly Andes E-mails]]</ref><br />
<br />
==In the comic==<br />
[[Image:Kellie Andes.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Kellie, upon discovering Chris's [[nudes]].]]<br />
<br />
Kellie appears in the last page of [[Episode 15]] of the [[comic]] as someone who discovers Chris's [[nudes]]. In [[Episode 17]], [[Rosechu]] mentions Kellie as the one who informed her about [[4-cent_garbage]]. In reality, Chris admits that he only gave Kellie the honor of discovering the ED page in the comic.<ref>[http://cogsdev.110mb.com/sonichu/SchuComic9P4.htm Sonichu 8, page 4.] Chris in an [[Blanca E-mails#Chris describes Episode 17: "Rage Against the Garbage"|email to Blanca]]</ref> It's highly unlikely she did in real life.<br />
<br />
Some argue that she is also the inspiration for [[Kel]]'s name. In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] Kel is actually referred to as "Kellie"; while it's still possible they're not meant to be the same person (especially considering the appearance of "real" Kellie in episode 15), the spelling at least reinforces the idea that Kel is meant to be some version of Kellie. The fact that Kel is in love with [[Reldnahc]] (who is essentially a Freudian version of Chris) is telling of Christian's obsession with his high school years.<br />
