[[File:Sonichu16PreviewPage6.jpg|thumb|250px|The reason Chris identifies as bisexual.]]

'''Bisexuality''' is a romantic or sexual attraction or behavior toward both males and females, or to more than one gender. For most of [[Chris]]’s life, he identified as heterosexual, attracted only to [[China|women]], and he later switched that to lesbian after coming out as [[transgender]]. In [[April 2018]], the [[Idea Guys]] manipulated Chris into believing himself to be bisexual by [[brainwashing]] him into thinking he was in a [[polyamorous marriage]] with the fictional male character [[Magi-Chan]].

==Background==
When Chris identified as a straight man, he felt repulsion towards other [[JERKS|men]]. The roots of his intense dislike of men can be traced to the severity of his [[autism]] - Chris had a strange perspective on sexuality, viewing it as requiring continuous maintenance (noted by usage of the term "falling off the straight path" and using [[magical thinking]] in the form of the [[Sailor Moon Poster]] to stay straight) and being corruptible simply if another person utters a word for genitals. The [[Man in the Pickle Suit]] described how Chris perceived the matter:

{{quoteboxgreen|He freaks out when the thought of penis occurs, like if it came up on television or someone made a joke or something, because he's a moron who doesn't understand how an inner monologue works. If one person says to another, in Chris' presence, "lol suck my dick", Chris imagines that and freaks out and thinks he can catch the gay from that. Because he's a moron.

(For the same reason, because of his inner monologue, Chris thinks he's psychic and that cartoon characters are real because he can think in their voice in his head.)<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/sonichu-12-9.51991/post-4180067</ref>}}

{{quoteboxgreen|Chris [[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3|told Julie that he'd imagine dicks]], not necessarily gay thoughts. The way I interpret that is that Chris believes that he's in the driver's seat when it comes to imagination, when that's not exactly how it works. For example, if I'm having a conversation with you about apples, images of apples pop up into your head. [...] That's just how language and visualization intertwine. It's pretty difficult (or impossible) to resist that effect.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/post-1899862</ref>}}

Some fans speculated that, based on his [[Homos|homophobia]] and his usage of methods to stay straight, Chris might have been in the closet instead. However, the theory is inconsistent with the rest of Chris's personality. Gay people keep to the closet from social pressure, but due to his autism, Chris has difficulty discerning and conforming to social pressure. Chris is also the type to do as he wants and justify it as feeling right to him regardless of social stigma, such as with going [[transgender]], resisting the pressure from his parents to stop – which didn't manifest with bisexuality.

At any rate, as Chris got older, and from osmosis from the [[SLGBTQ|SLGBTQ]] community he joined after identifying as a transgender lesbian, he began to mellow out on some of the beliefs he had held in his 20s, relaxing his hardline stances against straight and gay men.

==Brainwashed into bisexual identity==
A key technique the [[Idea Guys]] used to manipulate Chris's beliefs was posing as fictional characters in Chris's escapist fantasy land, [[CWCville]]. Examples include posing as Cryzel to pressure Chris into complying with their demands,<ref name=TBB>[[The Bad Beginning]]</ref> posing as [[Magi-Chan]] to inform Chris to draw himself raping [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] to ensure [[Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)|Crystal]]'s birth,<ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Trolling Jessica Quinn, drawing of Chris fucking Sonichu]]</ref> and even posing as [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|CWCville Chris]] to trick Chris into thinking CWCville Chris is a Satanist.<ref>[[Idea Guy Q&A#Pretending to be Chris to Chris, religion in CWCville]]</ref>

[[File:Sonichu 16 page-66.jpeg|thumb|250px|Page from the Idea Guys-directed [[Sonichu 13|''Sonichu'' #13]] on Chris coming out as bisexual because of the delusions they had fed him.]]

The Idea Guys then began to brainwash Chris over his sexual identity. They told Chris about his supposed sexual partners:

{{quote|I would have sex with my Cwcville counterpart, and even my Equestria Counterpart, [[Night Star|Nightstar]]. Her sweetie, [[Kun T’Nyuget]], was so handsome, he made me realize I was Bisexual. He was like, WOW!|Chris<ref name=bizarre>[[April 2018 social media posts#Brainwashing from Idea Guys]]</ref>}}

On 26 [[March 2018]], the Idea Guys led Chris to believe he was in a polyamorous marriage with [[imaginary friends]] [[Cryzel and Magi-Chan]].<ref>[[:File:OurWedding preview2.jpeg]]</ref> From Chris's perspective, the characters were as real as him – just located in another [[Dimensions|dimension]].

The Idea Guys then "screeched at Chris to say he was part gay", according to a [[Guard Dog]] who later viewed the chat logs.<ref name=screech></ref> Two weeks later, on 10 April 2018, Chris relented to the psychological manipulation and publicly declared himself to be bisexual, stating he had "realized" it with his "sweethearts".<ref name=BiDeclare></ref> The Idea Guys had Chris include a story of the coming out and marriage in [[Sonichu 13|''Sonichu'' #13]].

{{quote|Chris did speak with [Idea Guy] Wise on the phone, as he would force* Chris to have "phone sex" with him on what Chris said was a daily basis.|[[Guard Dog]] The Captain.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-chris-chan-extortionists.45366/post-3570509</ref>}}

Having been convinced he was bisexual, Chris began to act out his newfound sexual identity – even in ways that surprised the Idea Guys, and lasting well after the Guard Dogs removed them from power.

On 15 April, Chris, while chatting with the Idea Guys, took it on his own initiative to scribble an image of Magi-Chan's penis on a wall.<ref name=TBB></ref> He then recorded [[Dick Licker; that is I.]], in which he licked the penis drawing to give Magi-Chan a blowjob.

[[File:CWC like video of shirtless men.png|thumb|Chris liked a video featuring shirtless men in April 2018.]]

Chris updated his [[Facebook]] to note that he is a bisexual transwoman, "interested in men and women".<ref>[[April 2018 social media posts#Updated Facebook profile to note bisexuality]]</ref> Chris also got over his long-held psychological dislike of [[Muscle bra|shirtless men]] and [[pickles]], buying a Pickle Rick toy in June 2018 and placing it in his bedroom.

In April 2018, Chris wrote a gay poem on [[Bryanfrogboy]], calling him sexy. In May, when male fans [[Copitz]] and his friend visited Chris at [[14 Branchland Court]], Chris greeted them with "Great Big Kisses (on the CHEEK)".<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/997957259182227458</ref> Chris also drew a "thank you" drawing for [[Null]] in which Chris says to Null, "Oh! My goodness!!! You are sooo handsome and cute!!!".<ref>[[:File:CWC drawing for Joshua Moon.jpg]]</ref> In June, Chris kissed men on the cheek at [[TooManyGames]] (leading to his [[List of places that have banned Chris|ban]] from there). In December, Chris still believed he was bisexual:

{{quote|Hell, I even ate the whole box of penis-shaped gummy candy someone glitter-bombed me a year or so ago, with no regret and appreciation. And I would eat more if I got some, not to mention vagina-shaped candy too.|Chris, December 2018<ref name=gummy>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1073704209831350273</ref>}}

==Further grooming==
In July 2019, [[Jacob Sockness]], a gay man, self-described worshipper of Chris and an enabler of Chris's delusions, started communicating with Chris and began designs to manipulate him into a sexual relationship. In the [[Sockness impersonates Magi-Chan]] chatlog, Sockness borrowed a page from the Idea Guys' playbook and role-played as Magi-Chan in order to dangle the [[Dimensional Merge]] over Chris's head and threaten that it won't go forward unless he and Chris meet. Sockness also had Magi-Chan state that adding Sockness to the polyamorous marriage would be a good idea, which Chris believed to be legitimate feedback from Magi-Chan. By [[October 2019]], Chris was more open to the idea of a relationship with Sockness, saying "we can kiss at the future time".<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1185683452282261505</ref> However, due to intervention by the [[Watchmen]], who countered Sockness's role-paying with their own, Chris was led away from Sockness and eventually dropped contact with him.<ref name=aqua>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/post-5653000 Chris blames Magi-Chan for Sockness, 30 November 2019]</ref>
But Sockness managed to make a return, and in [[July 2020]] when asked whether he is dating Sockness, Chris replied "No, at least not yet".<Ref>[[July 2020 social media posts#Jacob]]</ref>

==Current state==
In [[June 2021]], the brainwashing from the Idea Guys was still in effect, as Chris reaffirmed that he still believed himself to be bisexual. He posted, "I have no shame or regret in going on public record stating the following: I like penis-shaped dildos, and I do not mind a genuine cock, up my butt. I have also enjoyed a cock-shaped sucker purchased from a Spencer’s; took me about a week to finish that thing. #IamBisexual"<ref>[[June 2021 social media posts#More Andy Warhol and autism]]</ref>

With the exception of Jacob Sockness, Chris has yet to attempt pursuing a relationship with a man, suggesting that he is only bisexual for his [[imaginary friends]].

When Chris's sex drive made an intense resurgence in [[2021]], he expressed a desire to be in a relationship with multiple female members of the [[Watchmen]] and [[Praetor]] groups. Notably, despite the groups also having men, Chris exclusively listed female members only.<ref>[[The Place chats - Lonely Feelings]]</ref> Furthermore, he eventually turned to an [[Affair with Mother|affair with his mother]].

Retroactive continuity in Sonichu

2023-04-24T18:31:37Z

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* Background */

{{Merge|Continuity in the Sonichu comics}}
{{Dated|changes Chris made to Sonichu canon due to the Idea Guys}}
[[Image:RainbowChrisBeforeAfter.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Changing [[rainbow]]s into [[Chris and religion|gates of Heaven]] only makes the [[Chris and death|implications]] even worse.]]

[[Chris]], thinking himself as clever and believing he can change things without other people noticing, has extensively '''[[Wikipedia:Retroactive Continuity|retconned]]''' the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' canon]]. In literature, "retroactive continuity" is a conscious alteration within a story's canon to change established facts or events within its continuity. This is usually used in ongoing stories to accommodate further stories that would not have been possible without the change in continuity, or to resolve chronological errors. While many comics use retcons to this outcome through use of subsequent revelations, such as Marvel's [[wikipedia:Avengers Disassembled|''Avengers Disassembled'']], or even large-scale cosmological events, such as DC's [[wikipedia:Crisis on Infinite Earths|''Crisis on Infinite Earths'']], these are usually plausible in-universe and are done for good reason. However, nigh all of the retcons that occur in ''Sonichu'' are sudden, unexplained and usually unnecessary, almost always having been changed because Chris changed his mind about something, wanted to shoehorn a contrived new plot into the comic, or because [[trolls]] told him to.

==Background==
In the case of names, Chris changed many of them on the advice of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and [[Jay Z]], who told Chris that they can't make a game with the names of real people. Even though he found out that [[Clyde Cash]] impersonated them, Chris has kept the name changes [[Chris and reality|"just in case"]] Nintendo or Sega decides to pick up the game.

Some changes are a result of troll attacks, others come from Chris trying to appear to be a [[Chris and race|tolerant]] and [[Pedofork|law-abiding]] person when he has unwittingly depicted himself otherwise. Black Sonichu was renamed [[Blake]] after Chris was accused of being a racist. More notably, the iconic [[Sonichu Balls]], which play a major role in the later comic issues, have become Sonichu ''Crystals'', after [[Homos|"gay"]] [[Gay 4 Sonichu|"fans"]] and trolls pointed out that it's pretty gay for him to want to get as many BALLS as he can to FREE him. Likewise, the infamous "Rainbow [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Chris]]" image from [[Sonichu 1#Sub-Episode 2: Christian Chandler in "The Rise & Fall of My Heart"|Sub-Episode 2]] was changed (bizarrely) to a background with the gates of Heaven when it was pointed out that rainbows are the international symbol of gay pride (unintentionally leading to the possible interpretation that his [[Love Quest]] is over because he's dead).

Another retcon, though more minor, is the updating of the [[Rosechu]]s' [[Rule 34|"feminine physique"]]. In several places, most notably in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], many of the female characters have had their breasts and [[china|vaginas]] more prominently outlined. This is probably a desperate attempt made by Chris to STAY STRAIGHT in the face of all those homosexual college professors, using [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] to support gay pride.

Chris has also altered the storyline in several places, such as the birth of Sonichu (explaining that they have aged in real time in the comics, due to complaints that 16-year-old Sonichu was having sex with 15-year-old Rosechu) and later adding that Sonichu and Rosechu got married, which would have justified their sex in ''Sonichu'' #8 (though Chris still fails to account that Rosechu would have been 17 when the two would have been married, which would still be statutory rape under [[wikipedia:Ages of consent in North America#Virginia|Virginia law]]). Pressed to make peace with [[Mary Lee Walsh]], Chris wrote a new story on [[CWCipedia]] about how she and Slaweel are two separate people, which defeats the purpose of needing a separate name for a separate Mary Lee Walsh. However, in the [[Official Videobooks]], Chris accidentally used the name "Mary Lee Walsh" on several occasions before quickly correcting himself with "Slaweel Ryam".

Chris has also changed [[Sonichu 5#Alternate versions|the ending to Sonichu 5, episode 13]], where the original shows him and [[Megan]] hugging on page 50 followed by a disclaimer at the bottom of page 51. It says that Rosechu "sets the record straight" by clarifying that the hug "didn't happen for real". Likely due to Megan telling Chris to back off, page 50 was replaced with a closeup of [[Sailor Megtune]]'s face, where she whines about how bad she feels for Chris, and Rosechu's speech was simply changed to a white box with the words "to be continued...". Interestingly, the version of the comics Chris posted on [[CWCipedia]] reflects the original, [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_5/Page_51 with both the hug and Rosechu's disclaimer intact], whereas the [[Sonichu 5 Official Videobook#Episode 13|videobook version of episode 13]] is the alternate one, with the grotesque closeup of Sailor Megtune's face and the edited page 51. In [[Quizzes#Sonichu Quiz 2|MyBuzz quizzes]], Chris flat out points out that there is a difference between the "director's cut" and the other version.

Aside from retconning his own work, Chris also frequently attempts to "improve" the work of others. This mostly manifests itself in renaming of characters: [[Megan]]'s character [[Megagi]] was originally called "Spunky Skunk", [[Ivy]]'s [[Layla Flaaffy]] was originally called "Luckett[e]", etc. In the [[CWC Personal Sonichu Presentation]] Chris takes things in another direction by trying to "fix" a [[troll|fan's]] vastly superior artwork by redrawing it and making extremely minor changes. The most blatant moment, however, is in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], where Chris tries to rewrite the world of [[Asperchu]] to be substantially more one-dimensional and boring. This stems from his [[autistic|ludicrous]] belief that cartoon characters are real (as in, [[Chris and reality|they literally exist on another plane of existence and the events in the comics have actual consequences]]), and he believes that he needs to "fix" his characters, lest the comics drawn by others somehow change them.

Chris has also attempted to retcon the actual events of his life, whenever convenient. While it's likely that many of the stories Chris tells of himself are fabrications or exaggerations, there is little evidence to support either theory. What can be proven, though, is Chris's alterations to his [[CWCipedia]] article for [[Simonla]], which originally stated (correctly) that the character was a derivative of [[Evan]]'s character, Simonchu. After Evan started to take legal action against Chris for his [[Chris and copyright|misappropriation of the character]], Chris simply edited the page to claim otherwise. In fact, he claimed that Simonla was ''not'' based on Simonchu, and their myriad of similarities was entirely coincidental. He had simply credited Evan for the character because he was [[autistic|confused]].

In order to not appear as a [[Pedofork]] for drawing Rule 34 involving the [[Chaotic Combo]] and [[Silvana]], Chris retconned the birthdates by stating that the eggs traveled in time to 1989.<ref>The [[CWCipedia]]</ref>
[[File:ChrisChanDamageControl.jpg|thumb|"I'm not a pedofork you dorks!"]]

Chris has also attempted to retcon the name origin of Sonichu—he states in [[The Sonichu Chronicles]], that Sonichu's name is NOT a portmanteau of Sonic and Pikachu, like it was "rumored", but rather a play on Sonic's "Japanese" name "Soniku"''[sic]''.

After [[Jackie]] reprimanded Chris for his treatment of Alec Benson Leary in the controversial end to Sonichu #10, Chris changed the Asperpedia Four's fate in the comic. Now, instead of being executed, the four would be exiled to an Amish community for the rest of their lives. Chris showed off the new ending in [[Book10Replacement|a video from 30 October 2010]], albeit in a very rough form even for Sonichu. He ultimately wouldn't finish the ending for five years, also changing most instances where Chris bashes homosexuality.

He would also go on to retcon Simonla's death multiple times. He first did this on Facebook in 2014, saying that he "revived her."<ref>[[May_2014_Facebook_Posts#Return_Of_Simonla_Rosechu]]</ref> She officially returned at the end of [[Sonichu_11#A_Sonichu_Christmas|A Sonichu Christmas]], when it turns out that she survived the Voltorb attack from the previous book, thanks to a healing ability.

After getting in contact with the Idea Guys, Chris would make several changes to Sonichu canon. Mostly, this resulted in birthdates for some of the characters being changed to allude to [[pedofork|pedophilia]], [[Nazis|Nazism]], or [[Chris and sex|the number 69]], but it also established that there were [[The 69 Destined Sonichus and Rosechus|69 Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] that came from the [[Rainbow#In the Comic|Chaotic Rainbow]].

Virgin with rage

2023-04-18T14:28:09Z

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* References by Chris */

{{Articleofthenow}}

{{quote|Tell me why I'm stuck as a virgin with rage Tell me why I so need a cute girl my age|[[So Need a Cute Girl]]}}

[[Image:106-FrustratedVirgin.jpg|thumb|[[Autism|WHY?!]]]]

'''Virgin with rage''' was [[Chris]]'s description of himself whilst he was still a virgin. Chris claimed that when he was a virgin, his condition engendered [[Chris and stress|frustration]] and, well, [[Chris and anger|rage]].

Chris was very self-conscious about being a virgin, and frequently brought up the subject unprompted, [[Honest Content|even in casual conversation]] with people he had only just met. However, after being advised by his parents that it wasn't a good idea to mention that he was a VIRGIN WITH RAGE, he stopped this practice,<ref>[[Chris-Chan_(CWCipedia)#Chris_in_Person_.28From_THEIR_Point_of_View.29]]</ref> one of the few times he has learned from his mistakes.

In [[April 2012]], Chris finally lost his virginity to a prostitute known as [[Mia Hamm]]. It changed nothing about Chris's life whatsoever.

== Hormonal rage ==
Chris was extremely distressed about the possibility of being destined to be a virgin forever.

{{quote|Sometimes I would want to touch her shoulder or back, feel her hair or give her a hug. I hold those urges back, because I care about her. And to keep myself from flying crazily off the handle at a random time, I keep my hormones in check at least twice a week by myself.|Chris on [[Megan]], [[Story of My Current Days]].}}

Despite his claims that he was "holding back", the emails with [[Megan]] paint a different picture, describing instances of him doing exactly what he says he wouldn't, by giving her random and unwanted touches.<ref>[[Megan Emails, 2008]]</ref><ref>[[Mimms_and_Lucas_Q&A#Chris_and_Megan]]</ref>

In another instance, Chris attempted to kiss [[Emily]] by surprise, during an unusually generous hug, but she was able to avoid it, and left unscarred.<ref>[[Emily#Kiss_fail]]</ref>

Also, during the [[Father Call]], [[Kacey]]'s father Matthew Devoria accused him of feeling Kacey in a "touchy-feely" manner, including touching her shoulder and sniffing her. Chris mentions this was because he was "nervous" at the time and because he wanted to see which one of her perfumes was better.

Likewise, [[Facebook]] correspondence between Chris and a young man named Joshua Alba revealed this pearl:
{{quote|I've thought of a funny message for a Valentine's Day card. On the outside, "Please Be Mine," and on the inside, "My hormones are slam-banging, and I do not have a woman to put them in."

I am not a sex freak; I'm just lonesome and sometimes horny.|Chris, [[Facebook messages]], 10 January 2010.<ref>[[Facebook_messages#Other]]</ref>}}

*The 2009 [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] ''[[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys COMEBACK!|COMEBACK!]]'' album has a song on it titled "[[CWC Like a Virgin]]".
*[[Autism Tutorial Part 3]], where he says "The virgin-breaker needs to happen BEFORE adulthood arrives, because being an adult virgin SUUUCKS."

==A virgin no more (but with rage all the same)==
[[Image:Virginbreaker.png|thumb|Chris bragging about how he paid for sex.]]

On 12 [[April 2012]], two leaked [[Facebook]] statuses depicted Chris as having finally lost his virginity. The posts contained several points highly suggesting Chris hired a prostitute:

* She compared him to the last guy she was with.
* She told him a [[Duck|blatant lie]] to make him feel good about himself.
* Perhaps the most telling of all, Chris said that his eventual 'Sweetheart-to-be' will find out about it, meaning that this was a [[Fuck Quest|one night stand]].

Roughly a month later, on 1 [[May 2012|May]], Chris wrote in a [https://www.facebook.com/notes/christian-weston-chandler/hey-trollies/283149358446217 Facebook note] that his virgin breaker could be found "somewhere on the backpage." Most assumed he was referring to Backpage.com, a website well-known for featuring sex service ads, which would end up shut down by federal law enforcement in 2018.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/opinion/kristof-not-quite-a-teen-yet-sold-for-sex.html?_r=1]</ref> This made it even more apparent that Chris resorted to paying for sex, [[Chris and hypocrisy|breaking a vow that he previously set for himself]].

In a [[July_25,_2014_Leaks#June_28-29|conversation]] that was leaked on 25 [[July 2014]], Chris confirmed what everyone already knew; he hired a prostitute to take his virginity. A few months later, a [[Open_Relationship_E-mails#The_Hooker_Story|leaked email]] detailed his experience with her and revealed she went by the alias of [[Mia Hamm]]. Given that Chris practically had to bribe someone for his first time, all at the age of thirty, this brings a less-than-[[Giant Penis Comic|ideal]] conclusion to the virginal chapter of his [[Love Quest]] (which, despite his bragging, was never an option he considered with any level of enthusiasm).

Incidentally, both prostitution and solicitation of prostitution are illegal in Virginia.<ref>[http://prostitution.procon.org/view.background-resource.php?resourceID=767]</ref> Therefore, Chris [[Chris and the Law|has committed yet another crime]].

==Aftermath==
Despite his hopes, losing his virginity did not appear to make Chris any happier. His [[Twitter]] and Facebook updates in the weeks, months, and years since showed him sliding deeper into depression. An April 2012 post on Twitter stated, "The virgin-breaker was a Great Milestone for me, and it made me feel more self-confident, but still, it was One thing. I still require my Sweetheart. :_( ...<3" In August 2013, Chris even mentioned that he was more stressed, and in [[August 2014]], the ''[[Sonic Boom]]'' [[Saga]] – which saw Chris incensed over a very small change to a video game franchise and would eventually lead to him [[26 December 2014|committing a felony]] – began.

After the [[Idea Guys]] planted their ideas into Chris's mind, however, Chris had found a (relatively) more fulfilling way to conclude his [[Love Quest|Fuck Quest]] – by getting into a [[polyamorous marriage]] with his [[imaginary friends]] [[Magi-Chan]], [[Cryzel Rosechu]], [[Sylvana]], and [[Mewtwo]]. For what it's worth, he ''seemed'' to be genuinely happier than he did when pursuing real-world [[I Am The TRUE, Original CCWC|tom-tom for his duck to pound]], so there's that. Unfortunately, Chris was ultimately not satisfied with this, and eventually got around to [[Affair with Mother|having sex with his own mother]] to satisfy his urges – [[Jail Saga|to predictable results]] once people found out about who his boyfriend-free girl was.

Respectable Frames

2023-04-18T14:22:41Z

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* Dramatic glasses removal */

{{Quote|My frames are good; [[Chris and fashion|they look good to me]], and they are the best fit for my lenses anyway.|Chris, [[Mailbag 14#The pedoglasses stay|on his choice of eyewear]].}}

[[Image:069-SchuGlasses.jpg|thumb|Right|Sonichu on his pedo-glasses - "I think I've picked the wrong frames." Yes, yes you have.]]

The '''Pedo-Glasses''' is the colloquial name for Chris's classic aviator spectacles, the appearance of which has been described as recalling some form of sexual deviant, such as a [[pedofork]].

==Glasses==
Chris claims in his [[CWC's Diary|diary]] that he began wearing glasses on 2 February [[1998]] because of nearsightedness.<ref>[[CWC's Diary]]</ref> He was diagnosed by his ophthalmologist half-brother [[David Chandler|David Alan Chandler]].<ref>[[Other documents#About his family]]</ref> Not long after, he had an altercation with a [[niggo|black]] kid on the school bus and his glasses were knocked off his face and possibly broken, depending on the version of the story.<ref>[[Jackie Chat 9]] and [[Kacey Call 9]]</ref> Confusingly, Chris has stated that the bus incident occurred during his freshman year of [[high school]] (1996-97), suggesting that the date in his diary is probably wrong and that he really began wearing glasses in February [[1997]].

The classic frames which Chris was wearing at the time of his discovery were double-bridged (to reduce damage induced by fits of [[Chris and anger|tard rage]]) and somewhat oversized, their roundness emphasizing Chris's pudgy face and generally rotund form. He got them at [[Mal-Wart|Wal-Mart]].<ref name=mb20>[[Mailbag 20#Chris defends the pedo-glasses]]</ref> The earpieces were connected by a string attachment that nobody else under the age of sixty would use.

Often these type of frames and lenses are among the few cheap pairs available by default to patients if they want to utilize their [[monthly tugboat|Social Security Disability Insurance]] on vision benefits. Of course, many tend to spend some extra cash on a much better pair of frames, but Chris has [[sex toys|better]] [[Lego|things]] [[Toys|to]] [[video games|buy]].

Chris thought the glasses looked good on him, calling them "Respectable Frames."<ref name=mb20/> He also justified them with the argument that "they are the best fit for my lenses anyway."<ref>[[Mailbag 14#The pedoglasses stay]]</ref> Though some stronger prescriptions do require bigger frames to accommodate thicker lenses, standard prescription spectacles could be ground down to fit any glasses Chris desires.

Nevertheless, Chris has always been somewhat self-conscious about his glasses. He worried that his "needed-to-see-a-far-distance glasses" made it difficult for women to notice his "handsome face."<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 3#Chris complains about his shitty social life]]</ref> He does not wear them for [[Dating profiles|dating profile]] photos.

While Chris's [[LittleBigPlanet]] avatar wears glasses, [[Comic Chris]] almost never does, though no one knows why. It could be that he finds drawing the glasses to be [[stress]]ful, or that his self-image is stuck in early 1998. Perhaps Chris's idealized self has 20-20 vision? [[Sammy]], a more accurate representation of the real Chris than Comic Chris, does wear glasses. They aren't pedo-glasses, though.

In a [[Madman Rising|video diatribe]] against the trolls he defensively stammered:

{{quote|I'm only nearsighted; I do wear glasses. Take it or leave it, losers! It m--it helps me see better...see more detail...and more clear vision than any of you knuckleheads can put together...out of your own ego that you so richly...consume of.|You tell 'em, Chris.}}

In a [[WeighIn|couple of]] [[FullHouse|videos]] posted in [[October 2010]], it appeared that Chris had wrapped tape over the bridge of his glasses. The tape was later replaced by a more permanent solution in the form of a nose-piece crafted with [[CHRIS!!! CHANDLER!!!|CRAYOLA FUCKIN' MODEL MAGIC]].<ref>[[Don'tPintheOop]]</ref> How exactly his frames broke in the first place is unknown. [[The_MovingForward_videos|The MovingForward Videos]] show that Chris sometimes stores his glasses in his back pocket, though, so it's not entirely unlikely that he simply forgot they were there and [[Obesity|sat on them]].

The [[Tomgirl Pictures]] indicated that by [[April 2011]] he had gotten a new pair just as cheap as the first. Alas, these glasses, which Chris describes as "$324 Rx lens glasses," were broken by the [[jerkops]] while Chris was resisting arrest on [[28 October 2011]].

Amazingly, in [[You're Always Pretty]], leaked in [[February 2012]], Barb is seen wearing Chris's old Pedo-Glasses, clearly identifiable by the blue Crayola Model Magic bridge. Hoarders gotta hoard.

In [[May 2012]], a [[Facebook]] profile pic showed that Chris had replaced the Pedo-Glasses with a relatively normal pair; unfortunately, this improvement was offset by his being a creepy [[Tomgirl]] with awful [[hair]]. He seems to have managed to hold onto this pair into [[2015]]. On special occasions, though, like [[Cville Pride|gay pride festivals]] and [[26 December 2014|assaults]], he sports a pair of plastic [[My Little Pony]] goggles.
{{clear}}

==Dramatic glasses removal==
Chris has been known to emphatically remove his glasses from his face for dramatic effect in his videos, often putting them on just so he can tear them off again, like the manchild version of David Caruso. In a video from [[100 2188|27 May 2010]], he removes his glasses, puts them back on, and removes them again within the space of less than thirty seconds.

In various videos Chris also appears to take his glasses off and throw them to the floor. This was particularly common during his feud with [[Liquid Chris]], when the dispute over his identity had him especially wound up — see [[I Am The TRUE, Original CCWC|here]] and [[CHRIS!!! CHANDLER!!!|here]] for examples. Obviously, this is an excellent way to damage them.

Chris in the media

2023-04-18T14:07:45Z

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes */

[[Image:The truth about cwc.jpg|thumb|right|Just you wait.]]
{{see also|Sonic the Hedgehog#References to Chris}}

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

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

==Traditional media==
===''Richmond Times-Dispatch''===
{{main|IT TOOK A TALKING BEAR TO GIVE THE NAME A YOUNG BOY LOVES}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

====2017====

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

Christian Weston Chandler,

Ruckersville, VA, USA.

He swiftly replied:

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

Best,

Hasan

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

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

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

===''OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes'' ===
[[File:OkKOstoryboard.jpg|thumb|The original storyboard initially made the reference more blatant]]
In the pilot episode "Lakewood Plaza Turbo", Carol tells her son K.O. to defend the plaza "to the extreme", a direct reference to the cover of [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]]. This was confirmed by the show's creator, Ian Jones-Quartey, who shared the original storyboard, where it was "even more blatant". K.O. was originally meant to finish the quote, saying "I will!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<poem>I've got no damn plans
I'm just like Chris-chan
My life's in the can
I'll never be a man
on my own I can't stand
I need a helping hand
My life never began
Cause I'm just like Chris-chan

I'm smelly overweight
I'll never procreate
I'm an incel, filled with hate
My life began too late
I'm an incel, filled with hate
My life began too late</poem>

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

==Proposed media roles==
===Smiling Friends===
In an interview with The Create Unknown podcast, Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack, showrunners of [[Adult Swim]] cartoon Smiling Friends, revealed that they had planned for Chris to be offered a voice cameo in an episode of the show. Chris was to voice a grease puddle in a brief one-off role in the episode "Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty?". However, contractual issues at the studio - which would have forced them to cast him in multiple episodes - cancelled their plans to offer Chris the role.<ref>https://youtu.be/t9SS8hMOF4k?t=2065</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06R7mspyoRw</ref>

On June 17th, 2021 ''[[The Binding of Isaac]]'' creator Edmund McMillen revealed on Twitter that the card for the character "Broken Isaac" would be illustrated by Chris.

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

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

Two later posts also made minor mentions of Sonichu.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===''Pokemon Clover''===
[[File:ShinyMudslacks.png|thumb|300px|Shiny Mudslack's sprite, inspired by Sonichu]]
''Pokémon Clover'' is a Pokémon romhack created by users of [[4Chan]]'s /vp/ board that pays homage to the various Internet cultures and memes, most notably 4Chan itself. The game references Chris multiple times. The Fakemon Mudslacks draws inspiration from Chris's [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS]] and Sonichu, with its shiny form even taking his color. Two NPC trainers also take inspiration from Chris with one of them being Chris himself, who can be fought in a cave near Lake [[Virgin]]. His battle [[CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero|theme is Holding Out For a Hero]].

==Interviews==
Over the course of Chris's life, he has experienced many fascinating events and received plenty of attention. Naturally, this piques the curiosity of others, and this has culminated in many '''interviews''' with Chris, whether through the Internet or in the flesh. As of October 2017, he will only do an interview if he is going to be [[Chris and his ego|paid for it]].

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes */

[[Image:The truth about cwc.jpg|thumb|right|Just you wait.]]
{{see also|Sonic the Hedgehog#References to Chris}}

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

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

==Traditional media==
===''Richmond Times-Dispatch''===
{{main|IT TOOK A TALKING BEAR TO GIVE THE NAME A YOUNG BOY LOVES}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

====2017====

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

Christian Weston Chandler,

Ruckersville, VA, USA.

He swiftly replied:

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

Best,

Hasan

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<poem>I've got no damn plans
I'm just like Chris-chan
My life's in the can
I'll never be a man
on my own I can't stand
I need a helping hand
My life never began
Cause I'm just like Chris-chan

I'm smelly overweight
I'll never procreate
I'm an incel, filled with hate
My life began too late
I'm an incel, filled with hate
My life began too late</poem>

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

==Proposed media roles==
===Smiling Friends===
In an interview with The Create Unknown podcast, Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack, showrunners of [[Adult Swim]] cartoon Smiling Friends, revealed that they had planned for Chris to be offered a voice cameo in an episode of the show. Chris was to voice a grease puddle in a brief one-off role in the episode "Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty?". However, contractual issues at the studio - which would have forced them to cast him in multiple episodes - cancelled their plans to offer Chris the role.<ref>https://youtu.be/t9SS8hMOF4k?t=2065</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06R7mspyoRw</ref>

On June 17th, 2021 ''[[The Binding of Isaac]]'' creator Edmund McMillen revealed on Twitter that the card for the character "Broken Isaac" would be illustrated by Chris.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The article seemed sympathetic to Chris, though Cecilia acknowledged in a comment that many of his views are offensive and that she does not endorse them, but also claimed that "[Chris's] personal beliefs are not entirely relevant to my article’s main themes".

The article noted that Chris was charged with incest and held without bond and that additional charges were pending.<ref>https://www.cbs19news.com/story/44432363/suspect-arrested-in-sex-crimes-against-family-member-case</ref>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Interviews==
Over the course of Chris's life, he has experienced many fascinating events and received plenty of attention. Naturally, this piques the curiosity of others, and this has culminated in many '''interviews''' with Chris, whether through the Internet or in the flesh. As of October 2017, he will only do an interview if he is going to be [[Chris and his ego|paid for it]].

It's UGH!

2023-04-11T14:34:17Z

Y0h 513nn R3n:

"'''It's UGH!'''" is the bizarre name to a video [[Chris]] uploaded on 24 [[July 2009]], before removing it a short time later in usual CWC fashion. The video features him begrudgingly singing along to the song "OK2B[[Gay]]" by Danish [[wikipedia:Bubblegum dance|bubblegum dance]] singer [[Tomgirl|Tomboy]]. At the end of the video, he curses at [[Jack Thaddeus]] (who had made [[Chris humps his PS3|Chris hump his PS3]] within the same day) and "[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails|Samantha whatever]]."

Note that Chris, in this video, is visibly disgusted and offended by a tongue in cheek pro-gay song. While the song's message (it's okay to be gay, obviously) is intended to be serious, lines like "[[List of things Chris has shoved up his ass|pick up the soap]]" are clearly being sung in a humorous manner. It should be noted that he is not wearing the [[Sonichu Medallion]] in either of these videos, indicating that [[Chris Comes Out of the Closet|he is not sincere with his endorsement of homosexuality]].

[''Up until 0:36, the only audio from the video is the opening of the song's video version. Chris is shown grimacing in pain over the chorus of [[JERKS]] singing. He starts [[Chris and music|singing]] at 0:37, in a very unsettling, yet quite on point [[Star Wars|Yoda]] impression. Chris actually talks at 4:04.'']

Ooh, strong man

Come out

Hooray for the kind of man that you will find in the gay way ''[groan]''
It's okay to be gay!

<big>Ugh. Yech. Ung. Uck.</big> Damn you, Jack Thaddeus slash Samantha whatever.</poem>

==Remake==
[[Image:TrickeryFail.jpg|thumb|Chris thought he would be clever if he made the video by not actually titling the video "It's Okay to be Gay," in addition to having tags "It's a Mockery you damn, dirty [[homos]]."]]

[[Jack Thaddeus]], not satisfied with Chris handing him a video where he sings in a dumb voice and covers himself on camera most of the time, wanted a version of him singing it with more vigor.

'''It's____''', a remake of It's UGH!, was uploaded on the following day, 25 [[July 2009]]. Chris sings the song in a more energetic and upbeat manner. He is seen disguised with a [[KCWC broadcast|Groucho Marx]] mask, along with the hat of his [[Officer Nasty]] sex doll. Note, surprisingly, that Chris looks somewhat thinner in this video which just goes to show that black (especially when paired with stained sex-doll accessories) really is slimming. The YouTube search tags read out, "It's a Mockery you damn dirty [[homos]]." He changes some of the pronouns of the lyrics to "she". In the last sentence of the video, he says that it's not okay to be gay, as yet another feeble attempt to "outwit" the [[trolls]].

{{quotebox|I INFORM YOU TRUE,

I was Blackmailed originally into singing that Damn, Dirty Song. Upon Initial Reading of the Lyrics, I FELT QUEASY and GOING TO THROW UP. I expressed that Fully in the FIRST TRIAL of singing it, even though I deleted it, someone else may have Mirrored those Close-Ups of my body and Vocals. I REMAIN STRONG AND TRUE; ONLY Straightness is Rightous; "Gay" IS "Stupid", and DO NOT use the word "[[homos|Gay]]" IN ANY SENTENCE, UNLESS you are actually talking to or about a PAPER-CERTIFIED Homosexual (they're already all damned).

I AM A PAPER-CERTIFIED STRAIGHT MAN; I Personally Hold ALL the paperwork.

For the while, with "[[SingStar Challenge Round 4|Stan Bush]]" at my PSP/PC/[[PS3]] offering me Inspiration to continue on. I required an instance WHY of all human and God-Giving Reason, and if it was AT ALL, that original track ever GOOD and Beneficial for the Cause to Stay Straight. It took an Ex-Troll-Turned-Friend to let me know that TomBoy ORIGINALLY wrote that song as a MOCKERY. That was ALL I need to know and hear to MAKE MY MOCKERY to Gays, and SING ON. I have fulfilled my End of the Deal with Victory and Valour towards the Rightous Cause of Being Straight. I had "From the darkness stumbled into the Light". While it "Seems like it's been Forever", This was the "Last Round" that I had to "Fight for what I Know IS RIGHT". "Everyone may try to Break my Spirits, Keepin' Me Down," But NO MORE.

Guard Dogs

2023-04-11T14:27:39Z

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* Extortion allegations */

The '''Guard Dogs''' were a group composed of [[The Captain]], [[Marvin]] and [[Null]]. They attempted to protect Chris from manipulation by [[enablers]].

With the revelation that the [[Idea Guys]] were still actively manipulating [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]] in early [[2018]], a new effort to systematically dismantle their and other trolling operations began. Now known as the "Guard Dogs", this group sought to replace the old guard that had once existed before, and optimistically tried to curb current-day [[weening]]. This group has since been credited with the outing of both the [[Idea Guys]] and the [[Teen Troon Squad]]. Their efforts have been met with a mixed reception. While most on Kiwi Farms praise their rescue of Chris from the Idea Guys' grasps, others criticize the group for being [[White Knight|white knights]].

Prior to the existence of the Guard Dogs, efforts to monitor Chris' accounts for trolls have existed in the past. However, none were as straightforward to Chris or as elaborate as those of the Guard Dogs.

The Guard Dogs have since given up on Chris, who insists on finding new enablers to play make-believe with such as the [[CWCProtectSquad]] and the [[Watchmen]].

==Members==
===The Captain===
{{main|The Captain}}
The Captain, unlike the other two involved, had no past history with Chris; stating that he only "fell into the whole thing by a matter of association".<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/profile-posts/133208/ Comment on The Captain's Profile]</ref> Like Null, he has since withdrawn from his position and no longer supervises Chris's on-line Interactions.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/twitter-9-26-chris-sees-red-flags-about-sockness-cancels-his-visit.61648/post-5386030 The Captain has washed his hands of Chris]</ref> Little is known about him past this.

===Marvin===
{{main|The Man in the Pickle Suit}}
Marvin, also known as "The Man in the Pickle Suit", is a former troll of Chris' who has stayed to the bylines, only to then pay little mind to Chris. Because of his status as an active Christorical figure, however, he's often contacted for advice in both [[trolling]] and [[White Knight|counter-trolling]] efforts.

===Null===
{{main|Null}}
Joshua Moon, also known as Null, is the current owner of [[Kiwi Farms]]. He became involved mid-way through The Captain and Marvin's investigation of the [[Idea Guys]]' [[Discord]], and was largely behind the push for the Idea Guys to face legal repercussions.

==Rescue from the Idea Guys==
In late [[April 2018]], [[Anna McLerran]] contacted [[The Captain]] stating that she was worried Chris was being actively manipulated.<ref name="a">[[The Chris-Chan Extortionists]]</ref> She was unable to get any confirmation, however, due to Chris refusing to give any information.
===Discovery===
Based on this, The Captain began attempting to contact Chris. He was eventually able to gain his trust, but only by playing along to his [[Chris and reality|delusional beliefs]]. Chris then revealed to him that he was in a top-secret [[Discord]] chat with the [[Idea Guys]] on a separate account they had created for him. At this point, with the coaching of Marvin, The Captain had multiple conversations with Chris in which he attempted to convince him that the Idea Guys were bad people who had only hurt “fake” characters. Chris eventually came to trust him, but only after using his “mind powers”.<ref name="extortionpost">[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-chris-chan-extortionists.45366/post-3551811 The Chris-Chan Extortionists]</ref> In response, he gave The Captain full control to his accounts so he could gather evidence against the Idea Guys. [[OPERATION: Kingsnake]], as members of the Guard Dogs referred it to, was now in motion.

===Infiltration===
[[File:IdeaGuyDiscords.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A screenshot by [[The Captain]] revealing the profiles of four of the [[Idea Guys]].]]
When The Captain first logged in to Chris’ [[Discord]] account, he was overwhelmed by how far the Idea Guys had gone to take advantage of Chris. Their tactics ranged from extortion to threats, and even blackmail. He once again went to Marvin with this information. To stall the Idea Guys so they could collect evidence, the two began roleplaying in the server as Chris. This stalling lasted upwards of a week. Whenever the Idea Guys asked The Captain something he didn’t know, The Captain would ask Marvin and Chris for direction and then reply accordingly. At one point during the week, the Idea Guys became suspicious and asked Chris to post photographic evidence to prove that he was indeed himself. They quickly had Chris take this photograph for them, writing the desired message on a dry-erase board. They were also able to collect the IPs of [[Idea Guys#Identities|Wise and Boyd]] using an IP tracer, as well as the IP of a third unidentified Idea Guy.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-chris-chan-extortionists.45366/post-3551849 The Captain reveals the Idea Guys' Discord]</ref> During this time, Chris was told to take a break from the internet for a week, to which he complied. He spent that week catching up on the shows Wise and Boyd had “banned” him from watching, which included [[My Little Pony]] and “nearly everything on Crunchy Roll”.<ref name="a"></ref>

Eventually, Marvin managed to build a script that ripped the server's chat logs straight from Discord, archiving the hundreds of pages of the Idea Guys' debauchery. Once all of the images and chat logs had been saved, Chris’ Discord account went silent and remained offline. A couple of days later, Wise and Boyd realized what this new inactivity implied, and began sanitizing the server. They banned Chris from the channel and deleted every private message they had sent him one by one. For them, however, it was already too late.<ref name="a"></ref>

===Extortion allegations===
[[File:IdeaGuyReceipts1.jpg|thumb|250px|Receipts of items Chris bought for Wise and Boyd, which were kept by Chris.]]
{{main|Idea Guys#Blackmail and extortion allegations}}
{{quote|I get that $6000 isn't the white collar crime that brings down the hammer, but we're talking about unhinged lunatics who are [[Chris slaps himself|coaxing mentally ill people into punching themselves]].|Null, describing his frustrations with law enforcement.<ref name="extortionpost">[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-chris-chan-extortionists.45366/post-3551811 The Chris-Chan Extortionists]</ref>}}

Midway through their infiltration of the Idea Guys’ [[Discord]], Null was brought into the process, filing reports with the FBI, Greene County Sheriff, and even calling Boyd’s mother. The other Guard Dogs vouched for Null to Chris, who rationalized the inclusion of Null - whom he would have considered a troll at any other point in time due to his ownership of [[Kiwi Farms]] - by playing make-believe that Stan Smith, a character from American Dad, had vouched for Null as well:

{{quoteboxred|when Chris first started messaging me he said that Stan Smith from ''American Dad'' said I was somehow affiliated with the FBI/CIA, which I think is entirely his head canon. If you wonder why I'm a big softy with Chris, there's a good example.<ref name=stan>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Stan Smith]]</ref>}}

Chris forwarded Null, Marvin, and The Captain any and all suspicious incoming messages and gave the three full access to all of his accounts. For once, Chris's tendency to hoard turned out to be a blessing in the form of vital evidence; he still had all of his receipts from Food Lion, which he had used to purchase Amazon/GameStop gift cards for the Idea Guys. He also took screenshots of his GameStop order history to prove that he had purchased and sent PS Vitas and other items to Wise and Boyd’s personal addresses. In total, the Idea Guys extorted approximately $6000 from Chris. This resulted in Chris facing serious monetary issues.

To this day law enforcement have yet to act on any of Null’s reports. Greene County Sheriff Steven S. Smith refused to act, stating that it was Chris’ choice to shit on the floor. The FBI was sent his IC3 twice (once online, another in-person by Chris) but no action was ever taken. Thus, Wise and Boyd have yet to face any legal repercussions for their extortion and blackmailing of a mentally handicapped individual.<ref name="extortionpost">[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-chris-chan-extortionists.45366/post-3551811 The Chris-Chan Extortionists]</ref>

===Rescuing the Amnyfest Ring===
Upon realizing that Chris was selling his [[Amnyfest Ring]] during the depths of the [[Financhu Crisis]], it became apparent that this artifact should not leave Chris's possession, and so a plan was set into motion to rescue it, rather than having the item be sold to someone unaware of its importance. The Captain stepped in, and purchased the ring for $200<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/nulls-gambit.45655/page-8#post-3581495</ref>, then presented it to Chris, explaining that it was actually the Reality Stone, and had the power to change CWCVille back to anything Chris wanted it to be, thus reverting the changes the Idea Guys had made - although sadly, Chris continued to believe in much of what they had instilled into him over the subsequent months. At some point before July 2018, The Captain sold the ring back to Chris, triumphantly returning the artifact to its rightful place.

===E-mail monitoring===

After the Idea Guys were successfully removed from power, Chris began speaking to Null, Marvin and The Captain regularly. They began actively monitoring his accounts, with Null personally reviewing all of Chris’ emails,<ref name="marvinqna"/> in some cases acting particularly aggressively towards [[weens]] attempting to get in on the action.

This lead to Chris and the three speaking on very friendly terms, with Chris even drawing Null his very own original [[My Little Pony]] character. They also tried to coach Chris on how to [[PlayStation_3#Hacking|better]] [[CWC's_Sonichu_Site!|protect]] [[YouTube#CChanSonichu_.28April_2009_.E2.80.93_July_2009.29|his]] [[YouTube#CwcvilleGuardian_.28February_2012_.E2.80.93_27_July_2021.29|social]] [[YouTube#Sonichu_.28May_2007_.E2.80.93_September_2008.29|media]], though their efforts were in vain.

===Publication of leaked content===
Null has written and published a handful of articles on Kiwi Farms regarding the content retrieved during their infiltration of the [[Idea Guys|Idea Guys']] discord server.

On 11 [[July 2018]], Null released his account of the dismantling of the Idea Guys onto Kiwi Farms in a thread titled “[[The Chris-Chan Extortionists]]”. Written for a broader audience, he reveals to what extent the Idea Guys had manipulated Chris, and his frustration with law enforcement’s inaction.<ref name="extortionpost">[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-chris-chan-extortionists.45366/post-3551811 The Chris-Chan Extortionists]</ref>

On 13 [[July 2018]], Null released [[Cryzel Torture]], a nine-hour-long chatlog in which Wise and Stephen Boyd berate Chris and continue to convince him that his characters were being tortured.

On 19 [[July 2018]], Null posted [[The Bad Beginning]], the first 9 hour and 15-minute long text conversation found in the Idea Guys' Discord server.

===End of Null's involvement===

{{Infobox/video

| ytid = iJXVdmPN9jM
| stardate = 26 [[November 2018]]
| Saga = {{Guard Dog|text}}
| other = {{Audio|text}}
}}

Inevitably, Null’s involvement in the "guard dog" saga didn't last long, as Chris's incompetency pushed Null away like so many others before. Null was quickly alienated by Chris due to his refusal to play along with the [[Dimensional Merge]], and as a result, Null lost much of the sympathy he initially held for Chris. In a livestream from [[November 2018]], he stated that he no longer wanted any part of the operation, finding the enabling tiresome. He also reveals that at one point, he had arranged for a moderator who lived near Chris to drive to his home when [[Barbara Chandler|Barbara]] died so Chris could be swiftly moved into an assisted living facility. It remains to be seen if this arrangement is still in place.

On 25 [[August 2019]], Chris, during his phase of role-playing as [[Magi-Chan]], attempted to get back in contact with Null, though Chris got upset when Null refused to entertain his delusions.

{{quote|Chris just sent me some shit out of the blue and he immediately got upset and shut up after I addressed him as "Chris" instead of Magichan. Every single time I see this ludicrous faggot shit he's doing it's like losing Terry [Davis] again. It makes me so fucking sad.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Sad About Chris's Roleplaying]]</ref>}}

==Ousting The 'Teen Troon Squad'==
{{main|Teen Troon Squad#Unravelling}}
On 25 [[December 2018]], a person posing as [[Magi-Chan]] posted a tweet linking to a (since taken down) Pastebin, now referred to as "The 'Teen Troon Squad' Reveals Themselves". This Pastebin elaborately doxes Lukas, one of the squad's members, revealing his birth name, home address, and a supposed phone number. Naturally, when the link was first released, there was much speculation as to who had actually written the tweet. Ultimately, it was determined that it had to have been done by someone Chris had trusted with his password; significantly narrowing down the suspect pool. Lukas would later claim that The Captain was responsible for doxxing him.

[[File:Cwcps3 by nevermonkey-d4jrnny.jpg|thumb|A life upgrade.]]

The [[Sony]] '''PlayStation 3''', or '''PS Triple''' in troll parlance (purchased 17 March [[2007]]<ref>[[PS3 History Level]]</ref> - [[The MovingFoward videos|28 August 2010]]), is a video game console released in 2006 as the third generation in Sony's PlayStation line of consoles. It introduced features such as the ability to play Blu-ray discs, further social and online features, and the PlayStation Network. However, the console had a rocky start due to a high price tag ($599 for a 60GB model, and $499 for a 20GB model, equivalent to $763.05 and $635.87 respectively considering inflation as of 2020), among other problems; still, during its 11-year lifespan, it sold 87.4 million units, which while nothing compared to the PlayStation 2's numbers (where it is still the highest-selling console of all time) is still quite respectable.

Chris apparently did purchase a PlayStation 2 (specifically, one of the "slim" models) at some point, though very little is known about Chris's PS2 in comparison to its successor. Notably, the first issue of [[Sonichu's News Dash]] had Chris speaking about Sony and the PS2 in derogatory terms, suggesting that at some point between October 2004 (when the slim PS2 was first introduced) and [[November 2006]] (when his PS2 was seen in the [[Pixelated PS3]] video), Chris reversed his opinions on the company.

The PS3 is notable for being [[Chris]]'s original "life upgrade". He desperately wanted to win one in a [[Pixelated PS3|contest]], to the point where he built one out of [[Pixelblocks]] and a slim PS2, and declared that he would "throw out the cure for [[autism]]" for one.<ref>[[Pixelated PS3]]</ref> Chris eventually went ahead and bought one with his [[monthly tugboat]]. In [[August 2010]], following [[#Molestations and other PS3 damage|repeated PS3 abuse]], he [[#Destruction|destroyed]] his life upgrade...only to purchase another shortly after.

The PS3 was supplanted by the [[PlayStation 4]] in 2013, and discontinued in [[2016]].

==PlayStation Network==
[[Image:Etc playstation.PNG|thumb|Confirmation e-mails, a testament to Chris's financial responsibility.]]

The PlayStation Network is an [[online]] digital media service introduced with the PS3 with its launch in 2006. It allows users to buy games, movies, TV shows, and other stuff, as well as social media features, music and movie streaming, and cloud gaming. Being [[Chris and money|as irresponsible with money]] as he is, Chris went into overdrive with this feature of the PS3's online capabilities. Chris spent so much on the PSN that it contributed most of his credit card debt at the time (roughly $3,500 circa early 2010).

You might ask yourself how he could've spent that much and what he could've spent it on. Chris seemingly bought (and still buys) everything possible, from game content to movies to several episodes of terrible harem [[anime]]. A list of Chris's PSN purchases reveals that he frequently bought DLC for games he doesn't even own.

Chris spent at least '''$6,127.64''' in American [[Monthly tugboat|taxpayer dollars]].

===Spending history===
The following table chronicles Chris's deposits into his PlayStation Network "wallet" between April 2007 and February 2010, the period for which detailed records of his transactions are available (thanks to the work of expert hackers).

Some interesting patterns can be spotted in his spending habits. He was relatively thrifty for most of 2007 and into early 2008 when he still had a few other outlets for entertaining himself outside of his [[Chris's room|room]]. There's a sharp spike around the time of his first ban from [[The GAMe PLACe]] in the spring of 2008, although that signal spike might have been augmented as a result of his concurrent "breakup" with Megan Schroeder in a bid to salve the emotional wound with the desperate application of virtual toys. Likewise, it's probably not a coincidence that after Chris was permanently booted from The PLACe in the summer of 2008, he began spending a shit ton more tugboat money on PSN.

In light of the second wave of the [[Vivian Gee E-mails, 2010|Vivian Gee e-mails]], Chris's spending in early 2010 is impressive. Despite being supposedly put on a strict budget by his father at the time (in order to pay down debts created by his earlier PSN spending), he still managed to spend around $100 or more a month.

Comparing to the [[List of Chris's games|list of games he owns]], there was a bunch of them that he hadn't even booted up a single time. There are some games he had touched maybe once and then left to the wayside; for example, all of his ''BioShock'' trophies are from the beginning of the game, and he received all of them on October 23, 2008, over a couple of hours. (The logical conclusion is that the second level of ''BioShock'' will ''blow your mind.'') In public, he also prominently featured games he never really played; the [[PS3 History Level]] shows many games that he touched only a few times (''[[Sonichu's Edge|Mirror's Edge]]'' and ''BioShock'', for example, currently sit at 11% and 9% respectively), and in [[PS3 Tutorial for my fans|the PS3 tutorial]], Chris says he thinks ''PAIN'' is a "fun" game, yet he let it sit at 0%.

===Hacking===
As a result of his online notoriety, his poor choice of passwords, and his innate gullibility, Chris’s PlayStation Network account was hacked or otherwise wrested from his control on multiple occasions. [[BlueSpike]], in his guise as Chris’s sweetheart [[Julie]], was able to convince Chris to break the first fundamental rule of cybersecurity and "share" his password in [[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3|February 2009]], which was later used as a wedge to control and torment Chris. That summer, [[Jack Thaddeus]] seized the account, resulting in detailed revelations concerning Chris’s insane online spending habits, as well as the video with [[Chris humps his PS3|eight minutes of console humping]].

Chris managed to keep control of his accounts for a surprisingly long time after his run-in with Thaddeus, but his luck ran out on 24 [[February 2010]], thanks to [[Surfshack Tito (troll)|a certain Hawaiʻian]].

Chris pops giant boners for PS3, so much that the [[Spanish|Hispanic]] [[Chris_and_race#Hispanics|community]] would call him a "Sonyer". He makes trolls on /v/ look like mild enthusiasts with his hatred of the [[HEXBox]].

==Molestations and other PS3 damage==
[[Image:Playstation Patrol W CWC's Car.JPG|thumb|right|[[Son-Chu]] camped outside a Playstation Cave]]

On 24 [[July 2009]], a video of Chris humping his PS3 was leaked. It is generally believed that physically molesting electronics may often shorten their lifespan; hard drives and optical drives are particularly prone to breaking under such physical [[stress]].

On 5 [[May 2010]], Chris [[I Pimp My Ride|posted a video]] in which he bragged about removing a "bug" from his PS3, thanks to a [[white knight]] who tipped him off. While Chris did apparently understand that the component was actually the system's wireless networking antenna, he removed it anyway. It seems to have had no effect on his ability to connect his PS3 to the Internet, indicating that he either uses a wired Ethernet connection or he realized how fucked he was and put it back in place. In any case, he voided his console's warranty...just as planned.

On 27 [[August 2010]], Chris [[Stardate, August 27, 2010|posted a solemn video]] where he explains how he inadvertently formatted his own PS3, erasing over three years of his life. Through repeated abuse (see above), Chris's PS3 was misbehaving, prompting him to contact [[Sony]] tech support. They apparently guided him through an attempt to fix corrupted files on the PS3's hard drive, but he did not succeed and Chris was given a choice to reformat his drive, which he accepted.

In the video, Chris blamed a "misunderstanding" between him and the support representative as the reason why he ended up formatting his drive. His PSN account activity seemed to confirm he had indeed deleted everything.

==Destruction==
[[File:Cameragroup004.jpg|thumb|Trivia: Chris still keeps VHS tapes in the clutter of his [[room]].]]

On 29 [[August 2010]], trolls obtained the [[The MovingFoward videos|MovingForward videos]], where Chris finally put the nail in his life upgrades coffin by beating it up with an edging stone and then running it over with [[Son-Chu]]. In the third video, Chris claimed to have tested his PS3 and confirmed it no longer started up but still "went into standby mode." He then used some scissors to repeatedly stab the console's remains. Trolls also obtained [[The_MovingFoward_videos#Destruction_Gallery|photographs of the console]] in various states of destruction.

The next day, [[ItIsFinished.MOV|another video]] appeared wherein Chris took the crushed, stabbed, and disassembled parts of his PS3, laid them out in his driveway, and ran them over with his car again for good measure.

Leaked [[Clyde and Tito PS3 E-mails|e-mails]] later revealed that Chris's motivations were twofold. Chris destroyed his beloved life upgrade in an attempt to cash in on a [[Trollin Train|troll-proffered]] reward of $9,001, as well as in hopes of satisfying his sweetheart of the moment, [[Jackie]]. However, to the surprise of none, he didn't think through this idea very clearly. He destroyed nearly $5,000 in his greed, never received the reward that he'd hoped for, and never got to first base with Jackie, either.

== The rebirth ==
[[File:PStriple.png|thumb|And on the seventh day, it rose again.]]

By 6 [[September 2010]], only ''days'' after killing his life upgrade, it was resurrected, [[monthly tugboat|with your help]]. Chris had claimed in his exchanges with Tito and Clyde that he would never buy another PS3, probably an attempt to convince the two. Chris told [[Jackie]] that he experienced something similar to drug withdrawal after a few days without his beloved PSTriple: "Post-Destruction, two days later, I started feeling impulsive and tense from its absence."<ref>[[Jackie Chat 7|Jackie Chat #7]]</ref>

Interestingly, Chris's new PS3 still uses the original case design, even though the larger PS3s had been discontinued in favor of the newer "slim" model in late 2009. This suggests that the replacement is a second-hand or refurbished model, and may have been chosen so that he could put the custom cover he made for his old PS3 onto it.

== The PS Move of Fail ==
[[Image:ChrisWithPSMove.png|thumb|Chris's PS Move in all its fail.]][[Image:PSN TOMGIRL1-1.jpg|thumb|Tomgirl socializing online.]]

It seems that when Chris purchased his new PS3, he also purchased a [[Wikipedia:Playstation Move|PlayStation Move]]. The PS Move is a derivative by [[Sony]] of [[Nintendo]]'s [[Wii Remote of Fail|Wii Remote]]. Chris, being the lover of all things [[Things Chris has ripped off|TRUE and ORIGINAL]] we've come to know, just had to have one.

Chris seems to have painted the two controllers of his PS Move in typical [[Sonichu]] coloration; the motion controller was painted yellow, while the navigation controller was apparently painted light blue.

The PS Move has made two video appearances so far, in the [[ECV_00001|Cherokee video]] and the [[I put on my Wizard's cloak and magic hat|wizard video]].

Chris later blew forty dollars on the PlayStation Move SharpShooter<ref>[http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/12/09/new-playstation-move-sharp-shooter-attachment/]</ref>, as seen in the infamous [[Tomgirl pictures]].

==PlayStation Plus==
On 29 [[June 2010]], Sony started PlayStation Plus, a [[Hex Bawx|subscription-based program]] that offers members discounts, free content (until membership expires), and exclusives. Chris, already owning everything there is on PSN, unsurprisingly decided to plunge another $50 into debt for a Plus membership. For $50 per year, Chris can now play "free" rentals of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' and ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', games that he has already bought many times over.

==Other oddities==
Chris appears to keep his PS3 turned on most of the time. In many of the videos, he's left the console idling on the main menu or in-game menus. In Skype logs, [[Julie]] complained to Chris that he is logged on PSN when he's not actually around, which was fairly confusing.<ref>[[BlueSpike Skype Logs 8|BlueSpike Skype Logs #8]]</ref>

Chris appears to have put at least some of the games he has bought in blue Blu-ray cases instead of keeping them in original retail cases.<ref>Seen, for example, in ''[[Brutal Legend]]''.</ref> He even does so in the ''[[Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles]]'' advertisement. This peculiar practice is explained in Chris's [[PS3 History Level]]: Chris buys Blu-Ray game cases from eBay and switches them over because "It's THINNER than the Clear Original PS3 Disc Cases; MORE SHELF SPACE for MORE GAMES."

He holds his PS3 controller in many of his videos to turn his PSEye on and off, such as in [[I Got A Fish]].

Lars Call

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* Summary */

[[Image:Lars.jpg|thumb|Lars, with boat.]]

{{quote|I be like... "Current age year-old man, seek- lookin' for an 18-to-current-age-year-old woman! Be my sweetheart and junk!" And they be- They misinterpret that, they be thinkin' I be lookin' just for the- Just for the booty call! But no, I ain't lookin' just for the booty call, I'm lookin' for the long run, the emotional attachments and everythaaang!|[[Chris]], talking like a [[niggo]]}}

{{quote|I want [[Jackie]] and I want to be able to keep my [[video games]].|[[Chris]], torn between two loves}}

The '''Lars Call''' was a ninety-minute phone conversation on 4 [[November 2010]] where Chris talked with [[Jackie]]'s [[Niggos|black]] [[JERKS|ex-boyfriend]] [[Lars]] (actually [[Asperchu|Alec Benson Leary]]<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/abl-q-a.805/#post-54378</ref>), discussing addictions, a parade he promised Jackie, what he would do for a woman, and boats. Chris got comfortable with {{w|Ebonics}}, and hilarity ensued. Near the end of the call, Lars mentions he's going to have [[Chris and sex|sex]] with Jackie, and Chris completely misses what he just said as he hangs up the phone, once again proving how dense Chris really is.

 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I have felt that way before.
 '''Lars:''' Tell me all about it, dog.

=== Slow Times at Manchester High (7:00 - 12:30)===
'''Chris:''' Well pretty much felt like- felt like a big time star and all that when I had a good number of [[gal-pals|friends]] back in high school. But then I had- then I graduated and had to leave [[Chesterfield County]] where I was going to [[high school]] and move back [[Ruckersville]]. And then it just, pretty much went downhill for me, and I didn't have too many friends.
 '''Lars:''' Shit, dog, I hear high school be fun and shit. Oh no, dropped out halfway through seventh grade and shit. That's a cross I had to bear and shit. Dayum.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' Been tryin' to go to high school and shit, ain't no niggas in the school system be wantin' no nigga up in their classroom. They be playin' "[[Kick the Autistic|Kick the Nigga]]" and shit. Shit ain't gangsta, they be straight bustas and shit. Fuckin' niggas. Y'all know 'bout getting tormented and shit, ain't you? Tormented for your differences and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I got pretty much tormented for my [[autism]] and considerable [[Slow-in-the-minds|slow-mindedness]], that has happened to me before.
 '''Lars:''' Yo, yo, yo, dog, au-austiss- wait, the fuck that shit be? D- au...
 '''Chris:''' Autism, it's a- uh, it's a slowness in the mind where, it just, uh, it basically inhibits social functions. Y'know, being able to socialize as well as normal people. You can look it up on [[Wikipedia]].
 '''Lars:''' Oh, y'all be a slow-in-the-mind and shit, then, huh? Like that [[Wikipedia:Down syndrome|Down syndrome]] and shit. My cousin got that shit. Ain't got no neck and shit. Fuckin' shit, nigga can't fit no shirts.
 '''Chris:''' Well, yeah, well, it's not uh- it is not Down syssdrome, it's way different from Down syndrome, just look it up on Wikipedia, and it's [[A-U-T-I-S-M]].
 '''Lars:''' Be more like that [[Asperger's]] and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Um...
 '''Lars:''' I ain't know anyone with that Asperger's, I hear that's some shit. They be all up in them trains and shit. Maybe I should get tested for that shit, I have my boats and shit. I probably grew out of it though, got rid my boats, though.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' So you got them Asperger's and shit, all right dog- all right. I hear you, I feel you. I feel you, yo, we all got our- we all got our differences, we all gots our liabilities.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' What else you got dog? Yo dog, you- you seem like a nice nigga and shit. Man, I ain't think this call gonna be pleaseant and shit, but so far we be doin' good. I ain't know why Jackie be comin' back to me and shit, when she got you. Says she ain't happy with you though. Why we gotta be talkin'? Why Jackie havin' us do this shit? She ain't explain nothing to me.
 '''Chris:''' Well, she’s, uh-
 '''Lars:''' Man, yo, I love the bitch and shit, sometimes she treat me like a fuckin’ [[Wikipedia:House slave|house nigga]]. Shit, won’t-bitch won’t tell me nothin’.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. I hear you. [[Barb|My-my mom]]-it happens between my mom and [[Bob|dad]]. It’s, uh, lack of communication and-yeah, shit like that.
 '''Lars:''' Feel that, feel that. Fifty percent of marriages in this country lead to divorce because of that shit. Now, I’m [[Niggos|a black man]], so I’m naturally afraid of marriage and shit, so that probably ain’t gonna affect me and [[Jackie]]. But still, shit ain’t right. Shit ain’t gangsta.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. I hear-
 '''Lars:''' Shit ain't [[Wikipedia:Cornbread|cornbread]].
 '''Chris:''' I hear that.
 '''Lars:''' So why Jackie be not happy with you and shit? I mean, y'all know why Jackie wasn't happy with me. I wanna know why Jackie ain’t happy with you. We got-we got’s to bond like true niggas.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. Well, uh, she and I, uh, we’ve had our, uh, our fights as well, but, uh, with my [[computer]] went, uh, went all on the fritz and I wasn’t able to get back out-to get back on, and it’s like, I can’t afford to get a new computer right now to, uh, replace-a new computer tower, and, uh, and we-and we haven’t been able to talk to each other through, uh, AIM and, uh, she’s kinda felt neglected on that. And, uh, also she requested me to upload-to make and upload videos to [[YouTube]] for her, which I have done, and, uh-
 '''Lars:''' A’ight, a’ight, I know about them videos and shit. I’ve been watching that shit. Man, I’ve been wondering what that shit all about, then I find out Jackie been asking y'all to do shit. Yo yo yo yo dawg, let me ask you a question and shit, though. Yo-
 '''Chris:''' Uh huh.
 '''Lars:''' You been doing these-You been doing these videos and shit. Why she be mad and shit? You be doing what she asks, right? You be doing everything-
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' -she asks? (pause) Somethin’ about-
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' Somethin’ about some comic she was bitchin’ about the other day. I was like, “Bitch! Go make me my fuckin’ steak dinner, bitch!” But she just keep railing on about [[Book10Replacement|that fuckin’ comic video]]. I watched that comic video, you scribbled some shit, maybe ‘cause you ain’t colorin’ shit, I don’t know.
 '''Chris:''' Well, I mean, uh-
 '''Lars:''' Jackie-Jackie like them colors. Yo, hell, I ain’t got to tell you she like colors. She like me. That’s all the color she needs. I guess she wanted more color from you, though.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, well I mean, I recorded that video, I hadn't had a chance to color it in yet, but I had planned to color it in after that, and uh, and th- and I'll be taking the, uh video file and uploading to YouTube at the, uh, library. I just haven't been able to get out in my car lately.

===Turf Wars (12:30 - 16:00)===
'''Lars:''' I heard it be somethin' 'bout you pickin' fights with- with artisans and shit, other cartoonists? You be like, [[troll]]in' and shit. Startin' gang wars and shit?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' Turf wars? I come from the streets, I know what turf war be all about.
 '''Chris:''' Eh.
 '''Lars:''' Shit. Ain't no winners in that game. Everybody lose.
 [''Pause'']
 '''Chris:''' Hm. Well it's uh, not really a turf war, it's- ah, but I guess it can be considered like that. It's a- I have- I have been havin' my fights and bouts against a- like, a Internet bullies, and cyberbullies. Trolls.
 '''Lars:''' What is-
 '''Chris:''' [''interjecting''] They just, uh- they just, uh- think they're breaking uh- I became like, a Internet celebr- Internet c-celebrity with my, uh, crea- my uh, my genius of [[Sonichu (comic)|my comic]], in my comics and whatnot. So yeah, they uh, just essentially torture me. They, uh- They- they- they- like, they- uh, really weigh me down. And plus, they, uh- like, called my, like, got my, they got overtime from between the hackings and they uh, pretend to be other people, and- and uh, and all that damn shit. It's, they uh- get a whole bunch of, uh [''unintelligible'']
 '''Lars:''' I feel you, dog. I feel ya.
 '''Chris:''' They get a whole bunch of footage from me and they just twist it and turn it the wrong way and just make my-and they just smear my once good name in the mud. Makes it very hard for me to get a job of my own with the background checks. Then-and they pretty much Google my-Google my name and all you get was, uh-all you get’s pretty much, other than the first, and their sole results is, uh, damn [[CWCki]] and uh, damn [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] and that’s just a whole bunch of weigh-me-downs-
 '''Lars:''' I feel ya, I feel ya.
 '''Chris:''' [''unintelligible''] –bad about me.
 '''Lars:''' That fuckin’ man hold a nigga down. Shit, I’ve been living that shit, whole life and shit. Damn. Fuckin’ niggas tryin’ to hold a nigga down. Yo yo, yo-
 '''Chris:''' You know, Lars-
 '''Lars:''' Yo yo yo, let m-oh, no no, you go ahead, dawg. You go ahead.
 '''Chris:''' Okay-
 '''Lars:''' You go on with your righteous self.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. Anyway, they also misla-they also mislabel me as a [[homos]]exual when I am a straight man.
 '''Lars:''' Homosexual and shit? Damn. Like on the [[Wikipedia:Down-low (sexual slang)|DL]]?
 '''Chris:''' [''unintelligible'']
 '''Lars:''' That what they say?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah they be calling me- yeah, they be calling me gay. But I'm a- but I'm a straight man.
 '''Lars:''' Man, I know these niggas. Y'all like, they be all like men who have sex with men an' shit? They call themselves gay, but I'm like, nigga, you be gay if you be having sex with men. I mean, what that shit about? Fuckin' gay niggas, ain't wanna admit they gay. You know that gay shit, though, I think it's that, that macho shit. Ain't no black man want to admit to being a gay.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' Dawg.
 '''Chris:''' [''unintelligible''] Yeah, yeah plus you know what also, you know along those lines what really ticks me off is when they-when they use the word "gay" when they really mean "stupid" or "retarded."
 '''Lars:''' Shit. All be like when niggas be using the word nigga an' shit. That be our word and shit, ain't no one got the right to use that shit.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' You know how that feels 'an shit, it hurts me. Right here. Right fucking here.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I-
 '''Lars:''' I be tappin' my chest, where my heart muscle is? You can't see it 'cause we on the phone, but that's what I be doin'. To enunciate my point. So.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I-
 '''Lars:''' What you sayin' is, when people call you gay, that be hurting you the same way, 'cause "gay" be like your word. Just like "nigga" be like my word, an' shit. Damn.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' Shit.
 '''Chris:''' Essentially, yeah, I know.

===The Alec Bason Nigga Parade (16:00 - 26:43)===
'''Lars:''' Yo, yo, yo, yo, dog, dog. Let me, let me go back, let me ax you. Ya'll say you be drawin' comics and shit, what kind of comics you draw, dog?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. Ugh, it's uh, from a idea I had. Uh, in a nutshell it's essentially combining [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Pikachu]]. Called him, uh, [[Sonichu]]. And that's all--he's like this, he actually goes on the adventures and whatnot, similar to Sonic the Hedgehog in one, he's got like electric powers and he can run fast and everything. They, and he hangs around, he hangs around, goes out with [[Rosechu|his girlfriend]] and uh, yeah, eventually they get married and uh, they have [[Sonee & Rosey|children]].
 '''Lars:''' Shit, be like [[Wikipedia:Archie Comics|Archie comics]] and shit. Y'know, I always though Archie be [[Homos|gay]] an' shit. Fuckin' Archie.
 '''Chris:''' N-no-
 '''Lars:''' [[Wikipedia:Archie Bunker|Archie Bunker]] with his negativity, fuckin' callin' people nigger. Gooks. Swanks. Wanks. Negros. All of his [[Wikipedia:Jughead Jones|jughead]] remarks, shit. Fuckin' Archie. That be like what [[Sonichu (comic)|your comic]] is like, dog?
 '''Chris:''' Well, I mean essentially, that would be what it would've been, but then I, then that, I kind of like lost track of when the trolls, the cyberbullies, they weighed me down. And then they, then you know the expression, "too many cooks spoil the broth." Well, they used to get on my mind so much that they get, then I end up drawing them into my comic books, making them into villains, and yadda-yadda-yadda. They just, they just...and they just essentially just worsened my... most of my books. And then-
 '''Lars:''' Alright.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. Originally-
 '''Lars:''' Alright.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. Originally it was supposed to be like, you know, like ages 7 and up, but then I end up going to the content, uh, it could be considered, be like, be like definitely be considered adulterous. Even some, even some-
 '''Lars:''' Alright.
 '''Chris:''' Even some-
 '''Lars:''' I see.
 '''Chris:''' Even some [[nudes|naked]] things I had but I, I just up and did. You know.
 '''Lars:''' You ain't be drawing your comic because these, 'cause these white niggas what be hatin' on your work. They be drinkin' all that Haterade. That why you ain't be drawing. I see.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' Aw shit, dog! That be why Jackie asked you to do the comic and shit! Shit, it all falls together now, the last puzzle piece in place. Cracka, you know if you stop that it means they win, right? Ya'll gots to get up on that comic and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I real, yeah, I really do need to get back to drawing more, drawing more p, drawing more comics and pages. But I just haven't been able to find the inspiration. They weighed me down so bad they just affe-, they just affected (?) me in the back of my mind and my subconscious.
 '''Lars:''' 'Em dog Jackie be telling me she thought she'd be your inspiration and shit. Ain't that the case and shit? What be goin' on then?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, she, yeah, she did-
 '''Lars:''' Jackie be all like...Jackie be all like "Aw shit, nigga!" That's what she said to me, she said "Aw shit, nigga! Why ain't Chris be drawin' no comic for me? Ain't I no inspiration and shit? Dayum!" And I'll be like "Damn, bitch! Go make me my steak dinner!" Bitch be ballin' and shit. Fuckin' smack a ho... shit keeps up. Why you ain't draw the comic and shit for her?
 '''Chris:''' Y-y-you can't, you can't exactly rush inspir- you can't exactly rush inspiration, for... uh... for one thing.
 '''Lars:''' Yo, yo, yo! But ain't, ain't my bitch Jackie, ain't she give you the story and shit for this comic vidya?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, she gave me the idea of, like uh, for uh, for the, for uh, one dude who originally was definitely not original part of the comic scene, but then he did his [[parody]] against me, and uh, in his comic he portrayed killing me and, they're like getting to war (?) go against me and uh, even, even agreeing with this, even agreeing with this guy who pretends, who uh, pretends to be me and... (sigh). Just more, whole bunch of more shit right there. Anyway, what, anyway what she wanted me to throw him a- she wanted me to throw like a parade in a, in a, in a... in the comic, in my comic scene. And you know, like, you know, I mean he did what he did to me in his comics and I took it literally. It's like, you know, he fuckin', he fuckin' just shot, he fuckin' just, a whole bunch of bullet wounds in one go on my, on my, on myself. And I ain't gonna throw him a parade on that, on that, on that scene and whatnot.
 '''Lars:''' Yo, yo, yo, I feel you angry an' shit, dog, I feel you furious an' shit. You furious at this nigga. An' I feel it. You know, dog-
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' Jackie be talkin' to me. Jackie be sayin', ain't the problem that you hate this nigga. Problem be, that you lie to her and tell her you gonna do it when you ain't mean to. What up with that, dog?
 '''Chris:''' ''[Long pause]'' Well, I have told her that I was eh-I would not be giving him a parade but she just insisted on that and she just, uh, and I would, I would say that she just, kind of like, got in her mind that, she thought that was that-I was definitely going to do that, even though-
 '''Lars:''' My shoulder, Jackie.
 '''Chris:''' Told her-
 '''Lars:''' Yo, yo, yo, yo dog, yo dog, my shoulder, Jackie. She be all like, she email you and ax you to do this video an' shit, an' then you email her back and say, "Yeah bitch, ain't no problem an' shit, I'll be doin' that." Ya'll ain't made no, no... no prov-ver-acations an' shit. Ya'll ain't made no provesations.
 '''Chris:''' Yes, well, I mean that, I told her I would, that I would draw her the pages, but I did not tell her that I was going to throw him- throw him a parade in the pages because I had said that I was not giving him a fucking parade.
 '''Lars:''' She said she wanted a parade an' shit, and then you write back saying you were gonna do it.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah-
 '''Lars:''' I mean I feel her anger. I feel her righteousness and shit. Lie of omission still be a fuckin' lie and shit. Ya'll dig, dog?
 '''Chris:''' [''Pause''] Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' Man, y'all got anger and shit, and I feel that. I feel that, I really do and shit nigga, but y'all got to stand up to yo' woman and shit, damn! Woman be tellin' you to do shit, y'all ain't just be lyin' to her. You gots a problem wit' yo' woman, you ain't lie to her, then all you got's two problems. Ya dig?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' How often you get laid, dog?
 '''Chris:''' Uh... I'm sorry, what was that?
 '''Lars:''' How often you get laid? ''[[China|Pussy]].''
 '''Chris:''' How often-
 '''Lars:''' Yeah.
 '''Chris:''' How often do I get laid?
 '''Lars:''' Yeah, when the last time you cut some trim and shit?
 '''Chris:''' Hm... I'm actually a [[Virgin with rage|virgin]].
 '''Lars:''' Aw, shit, dog. Explains that anger and shit. This be why you angry at them trolls.
 '''Chris:''' [''Pause''] Yeah, among other things.
 '''Lars:''' Shit dog, see- See dog, you be lyin' to women and shit, they ain't like that. Man, you ain't wanna do what no woman tells you to do, you just tell her straight up to her face. Then you have her go make you a steak dinner and shit. But you ain't lie to her and shit. Shit ain't gangsta. Shit be straight busta.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I did tell her straight- I did tell her straight up that I was not gonna be throwing that- I was not gonna be throwin' him a fuckin' parade. I was not gonna draw him in a parade.
 '''Lars:''' [''Talking over each other''] Yo dog, I be looking at printouts and shit. Y'all know us niggas don't be doin' too well on the Internet, Jackie be printin' out printouts and shit for me. Yo I be lookin' at printouts and shit. And...
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' In the email, she said, "Hey Chris, why don't y'all do that parade video for that, Alec... Alec Bason... Nigga, whatever his name is. Alec Bason Nigga. And then you say, "Sure Jackie, I'll be on that shit!" Y'all ain't make not protestations. why ain't y'all say nothing then?
 '''Chris:''' ''(Pause)'' Hm. Well-

 '''Chris:''' Yeah, tomorrow, to let you know, uh- This, it was essentially, in the replacement pages where I do not, uh, end up, I do not end up giving Alec a gory- and his crew, a gory demise, like I did originally. ''(Pause)'' I did not-
 '''Lars:''' Yo, bitch Jackie said to throw this nigga a parade. You say "a'ight, I'm a do that." Then you didn't. ''(Pause)'' You be lyin' to women and shit often, dog? This be why you still a virgin and shit?
 '''Chris:''' ''(Sigh)''
 '''Lars:''' Smellin' me, dog?
 '''Chris:''' No- No, it's... ''(Sigh)'' Well... Wait a minute, ''(Sigh)'' My brain- I gotta catch up my brain, here. Mm.
 '''Lars:''' A'ight, a'ight. I feel that.

 '''Lars:''' ''(At Jackie:)'' Yo bitch don't burn that [[Wikipedia:Casserole|casserole]]! Fuckin' bitch.
 '''Chris:''' Well-
 '''Lars:''' Hold- Hold on.
 '''Chris:''' ''(Pause)'' Yeah, you still there?
 '''Lars:''' Yeah. Yeah dog, I be here. I be wit' you.
 '''Chris:''' Alright. Alright, well. Well, I do not mean to, I did not mean to lie to her, but I did tell her straight up that I did not- That I had no intention of throwing that... Of throwing that dude a parade.
 '''Lars:''' Nah dog, I be lookin' at the emails, she said to throw him a parade, you say you gonna do it. You ain't say "I ain't throwin' a parade."
 '''Chris:''' ''(Pause)'' Yeah well I told- Yeah I mean I told her I did not wanna throw him- throw him- throw him a parade.
 '''Lars:''' When you tell her this shit, I ain't see this shit. When you tell her you ain't throwin' a parade? I need some help and shit, dog, I ain't feelin' where you at.
 '''Chris:''' Well, maybe uh...
 '''Lars:''' Gots ourselves a... discommunication.
 '''Chris:''' I- Yeah... I think it was discommunication.

 '''Chris:''' Well, I said- Well I said alright in drawing the replacement pages.
 '''Lars:''' You said a'ight to the whole email though.
 '''Chris:''' But I did not-
 '''Lars:''' You ain't pick out bits and pieces, and say yes to this, and no to that. That's why I'm- I be confused, I be confuzzled and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Hm. Yeah uh-

===Fueling the Fire (26:43 - 28:30)===

And the- and, and uh, and Jackie being the wonderful woman she is, and the wonderful person, very s- best person there is, you know... She's a lot more important than a dang ol' video game console. ''(Pause)'' But still, you know, after I invested a whole lot in there over the- over that- over that... my time I had it, it's like you know, I ain't gonna get that back and I'm certainly not gonna be able to get ''[indecipherable]'' for it. Face value.
 '''Lars:''' Ain't y'all gonna get Jackie and shit though? Ain't Jackie be worth more than a PS Triple and shit? Jackie cook a mean steak dinner and shit. All the fixins. Throw some [[Wikipedia:Grits|grits]] on there. Some [[Wikipedia:Starburst (confectionery)|Starburst]]. Little [[Wikipedia:Grape soda|grape soda]] on the side. Mmm-mmm-mmm!
 '''Chris:''' Yep. I tell ya, If I can't, uh, If I can't sell my PS Triple, I tell ya something else, I tell you, another thing I would definitely get rid of for Jackie, I'd get rid of a whole bunch of the, uh... [[Transformers]] I got.
 '''Lars:''' Why can't y'all get ridda that PS Triple though, dog? I- I ain't be feelin' it, I ain't be understandin' and shit. Y'all got my mind twisted and turned, with these phrases. I know y'all ain't mean it and shit, but I ain't be feelin' it. I need y'all help, dog. I be slow and shit, I ain't be figuring it out. Why ain't y'all give up that PS Triple and shit, dog? Worked hook, line and sinker with my boats.
 '''Chris:''' I downl- Listen, I downloaded over 4000 dollars worth of content and... at face value it's not gonna get me back 4000 dollars.
 '''Lars:''' Shiiit, dog! Ain't about the money and shit. Shit be about gettin' rid of addictions and shit. Y'know I how much I drop on boats and shit? Forty-five thousand dollars! I got like, six credit cards for that shit. Y'know how hard it is for a black man to get one credit card, I got six! Six, nigga. That's how dedicated I was to them fuckin' boats. That's how- them boats was my life, nigga. Them boats was my life! Sheeit. But I burned them boats, ain't get no money for that shit. That money be ''gone'', nigga. I got debts to pay off and shit. But I be an honest nigga now. I ain't lettin' no addiction control me. Why you ain't get rid a that PS Triple? I be feelin' Jackie, like, that's what she want.
 '''Chris:''' I- I- I- Lemme just- Just let me talk, here.
 '''Lars:''' Y'all go ahead, dog. I'm listenin'.
 '''Chris:''' Alright. Listen, I do not, I would not need to sell the console in order for me to not spend any more. I just- will just swear upon- Upon my [[Aunt Corrina]]'s grave. On that, and uh, my fam- On the life of myself and [[Barbara|my mom]] and [[Bob|my dad]]. Everybody in my family. And I will just not- I will not spend... Any- I will just not spend any more- ''[Audio gets fucked up here while Chris continues lying]'' -downloading for the P-

 '''Chris:''' ''[Pause]'' I-
 '''Lars:''' Yo dog, as a nigga that seen the worst of addictions, I gotta level wit' you, bro. Just ain't work that way, dog. Sheeeeeeit. Y'all go ahead, dog, y'all go ahead.

With th- With this, uh- With [[Michael Snyder|this... dude]], down over at The GAMe- Over at [[The GAMe PLACe|The GAMe and HOBBY PLACe]]. He just be havin' his own gripe against me, and lookin' for a way- Lookin' for an excuse to ban me from his store, and then, and then... Then he did, so he banned me from the store, he... But he never wanted me to come back, and then I come back like about a year later askin' him- askin' if I can come back and he don't let me come back and...

 '''Chris:''' He just- He just be all, afraid of me and shit like that. And plus also, I have like, uh, I've had like, uh, past- Past accusations of quote-unquote "soliciting", when I was out in my early days of my [[Sweetheart Search]] lookin' for- Lookin' for a woman of my own, be usin' a [[sign]], like you know, I be like... "Current age year-old man, seek- lookin' for an 18-to-current-age-year-old woman! Be my sweetheart and junk!" And they be- They misinterpret that, they be thinkin' I be lookin' just for the- Just for the [[Sex|booty call]]! But no, I ain't lookin' just for the booty call, I'm lookin' for the long run, the emotional attachments and everythaaang! They just misinterp- They just misunderstand me, and they handcuff me and everythang, they came- They handcuff me a couple a times, they drag me around, and [[Get-Tar Region|they even dogpile on me one time]], rub my head on the carpet, I be bleedin' out- I been bleedin' out left side of my forehead that day! Put me in the dang- Put me in the dang cop car and I get offended by the ambulaaaance, where they see that blood stain... Blood-soaked stain! Heaaaad wouuund, from that carpet burn on the left side of my forehead there!
 '''Lars:''' A'ight, nigga, a'ight, nigga. You get down wit' y'all bad self. Sheeeeit. Badass, you be stickin' it to 5-0 and shit! Tresspassin' and shit. I see, I feel ya, I smell ya, dog.

 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I be poppin- Yeah I be poppin' a- I'd be poppin' a cap in that- In that old- In that old [[Michael Snyder]] ass, I tell you what. It's like, if and I had me, if I had me a real life gun but I don't have a real life gun, though like you know, all I got is my, uh... All I got is my [[Slow-in-the-minds|slow-mind]] wit, and uh, not mu- Not much else going on there. So it's like I don't really have much of an offense, as much as a defense, dog. And I, but-
 '''Lars:''' Lemme ax you-
 '''Chris:''' The only option there is just to split.
 '''Lars:''' Let me ax you, dog-
 '''Chris:''' 'Til another thing, until I can actually go on the offense.
 '''Lars:''' Let me ax you, dog. So you gonna take some nigga, and you gonna say like, "Bitch, this nigga be goin' down and shit." And you pick this, you pick this nigga, this nigga at this... This game store and shit. Why you pick this nigga to pick a fight with and shit?

And then he did find a damn excuse and it damn happened and they called tresspassin' and everthiiing.
 '''Lars:''' So y'all, y'all be goin' on property when you know you ain't- It be someone elses property and shit, and you be like, "Fuck that, I ain't give a shit about right and wrong! I ain't give a shit about what someone else wants! I ain't give a shit about no other nigga's property, and personal reliability, and safe-ety.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah besides which-

This be my house and shit, y'all ain't comin' up in here without no invitation and shit." And he be like, "''Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit'', nigga! I do what I want, I'm a call up on y'all house!" What ya'll gonna do? Some nigga come up in yo business.

 '''Lars:''' A'ight, a'ight, so, in the interest of honesty and total veracity, I must tell you that I am not a neutral party and shit. See, I burned my boats and shit 'cause I want Jackie back, dog. See? Bitch be all like, all up slobberin' on my dick and balls now, shit. Damn! See, I ain't be finna' gettin' ridda' my bitch, and shit. She be all like, ridin' my dick. She be all like, givin' me the oral play and shit. Fuckin' tongue action, finger play, y'all know that shit, sheeeeit. And the bitch be makin' me my steak dinner, 'cause I burned them boats. So, I ain't finna' be gettin' ridda' this bitch. I got a good bitch goin' here, y'all feel me?

 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' And I do feel like I have the advantage on you. Cuz my dick be all ''four inches'' a straight goodness and shit. Fuckin' straight as a ramrod and shit! That's what call me in high school when I be ramroddin' bitches, they call me "Ramrod". Better than "nigger". Better than "[[Wikipedia:Jim (Huckleberry Finn)|Nigger Jim]]," that's what that shit they be callin' me, I be like "My name ain't Jim! Call me "Nigga Lars" and shit!" "Nigga Lars"? That shit fine. "Nigga McNulty"? That shit be fine too, but they call me "Nigger Jim"! Who da fuck this "Nigga Jim" be? I ain't know... sheeeit.
 '''Chris:''' That's- I tell ya, that's cool man, I praise you for being able to bang all them hos back in the high school days, I tell you what, I was [[naïve]] on the [[dating]] subject back in high school, I didn't even think about it, I mean I shoulda ask w- I shoulda asked a woman, I shoulda banged my own share of hos back in the day, but I didn't dawwwg, I just did not think of it! I was really slow, and I ev- and I even had a girl- I even had a girl crush back then. But then she done left me, she was out da- she was out dating with somebody else behind my back, I didn't even know about it. But she and I, we were tight!

===The Trail of Tears (1:04:30 - 107:50) ===
'''Lars:''' Shee-iiiiiiiiiiiiiit, dog! So what y'all gonna do to win Jackie heart back and shit? Y'all gonna burn that PS Triple and shit. See, see I'ma feelin' that, because that seem like, like the equalizer, and the numerizer and shit, that you all be pullin' to one-up my burnin' my boats and shit. See I be burnin' my addiction, y'all gots to burn your addiction too. Y'all ain't gots to do it literally. I know white people be afraid of fire and shit, I know white people fear fire. See us black folk, we like fire, 'cause we all be like livin' tribal in the Unga Bungas, in Africa and shit. We be usin' fire to keep tigers away and shit! Tigers, man, damn. Tigers be racists and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Well I feel you, man. I'm part [[Cherokee]].
 '''Lars:''' So, y'all got- Oh, dog, y'all part Cherokee? Y'all be part a them-
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' Them red niggas and shit? Sheeeit, I feel that, dog, I ain't know that about you. Sheeeeeit.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, [[Wikipedia:Trail of Tears|Trail of Tears]] is in my history.
 '''Lars:''' [''talking over Chris''] What [[Wikipedia:Native American gaming|casino]] you from?
 '''Chris:''' Uh... I'm sorry, I didn't understand that.
 '''Lars:''' Shit, all them Red Niggas, they be up in them casinos and shit. Ain't that right, dog? What casino you from? From that casino tribe-
 '''Chris:''' Yeah sound like a-
 '''Lars:''' From the Blackjack tribe? Whitejack tribe? The... Poker tribe? The Hold 'Em tribe? You from them-
 '''Chris:''' That just-
 '''Lars:''' Ain't got no tribes, y'all feelin' what I'm gettin' at.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah I fe- Yeah I feel you, man, that's a- That's just a dang old stereotype, I'm not like one- I am not a Casino Ownah. I ain't no rich man. I mean, I di- I mean-
 '''Lars:''' Y'all be unemployed and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, that-
 '''Lars:''' Y'all ain't be no Casino Nigga and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah I ain't no Casi- I- I ain't no Casino Nigga. I mean, we be-
 '''Lars:''' See-
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, my background, we be of the real- We be of the real Cherokee. From the Trail of Tears and all that. That's from my history.
 '''Lars:''' See dog, this be a perfect example of the injustice and inservitude and ingratuity of American history and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Yep.
 '''Lars:''' See, the red niggas, they be all like, the casino niggas and shit. And then, you come along, and you ain't be... You ain't be havin' no job in no casino, you ain't be havin' no job and shit. You all just be, sittin' on your couch and shit, jobless. And that totally defies the stereotype of the common red nigga, see? So them sterotypes, they be bullshit, 'cause everyone knows your red niggas, they all be hard-workin' and [[Alcohol|sober]] and shit. Ain't no stereotypes say otherwise. I hear there is, I'll eat my hat I tell you what. Sheeeeit. Fuck. Anyway, dog, where we at- I be waxin philosophimorical again. Sheeit. We be talkin 'bout- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, dog, it comin' back to me. What y'all gonna be doin' to win Jackie, y'all gonna be ''metaphorically'' burnin' your PS Triple and shit. That be right, dog? Is that what y'all gonna do? I be wishin you luck, dog, I be wishin' you luck. I be wishin' you luck and shit, man. Y'know, I'll be ramroddin' Jackie every night and every day, but I respect you, like my nigga. You're my bro and shit. And I want you to get what you deserve and shit. You feelin' me?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. I feel ya.
 '''Lars:''' So y'all gonna be gettin' rid a that PS Triple and shit. [''long pause'']

===A Tale of Two PS Triples (1:07:50 - 1:17:45)===
'''Chris:''' Yeah [[Slow-in-the-minds|my mind be slow]] and I be uncertain of... everything here. And I definitely... I definitely feel ya and I'm not gonna say that I'm better than you, I'm not gonna say no- I'm not gonna say that. I mean you be- I mean you are- You be a big man, you burned all your boats, dog. I tell you what. But I mean- I spend my mo- I spend my money, I ain't gonna get that much back. I ain't gonna- I ain't gonna just kill it all by burning the dang PS3 because I already di- I pretty much essentially did that. By, uh... Like, [[The MovingFoward videos|pretty much dismantling the previous one I had]], [[ItIsFinished.MOV|and then just running it over]] with [[Son-Chu|my car]], there be videos on the [[YouTube]] about that.
 '''Lars:''' Yo, yo, dog, I saw that shit, you just- You destructicated your PS Triple, and then you get a new one back like a day later and shit. Why y'all go get a new PS Triple and shit, dog? Why destroy it in the first place?
 '''Chris:''' I tried to destroy it, dog, because... Them tr- Because, them trolls, and Jackie knew about it as well, they be offering NINE THOUSAND dollars for footage of the destruction of that PS Triple. And my- And Jackie thought like, you know, I give them th- I give them the footage and the real deal- I give them the real deal footage and what-not, they give- They, the trolls, they- THE troll, he be givin' me back the- He be givin' me that money, I be buyin' me a new PS Triple, she be cool with that, but then it don't happen, he- He fall back on his word, he don't do it, even though there were plans of meetings and what-not, it didn't happen, there was no money! I was-
 '''Lars:''' Where y'all get that money then? If there be no money, where y'all get that new PS Triple and shit?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah that be from my-
 '''Lars:''' I know all white folks be rich and shit, like at least moderately so and shit, but shiiit, you got that kinda cash around, you got that 'fetti? Where you get the money to buy that second PS Triple? That be like yo' Double PS Triple. Or yo' PS Double-Triple, if you will. Sheeeit. PS Triple-Double and shit. Where y'all get the money for that?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, that be where I sold the, uh, past- The older game consoles that I've hoarded over the years.
 '''Lars:''' So y'all go and destroy yo' PS Triple... Then like a day later y'all go and sell like every other game you got... So you can buy back... A PS Triple? [''pause''] Shit ain't gangsta, dog, why you be doin' that?
 '''Chris:''' It does a lot more than games, dog! Does movies, does music, does pictures! Does the Internet! I mean pretty much at this time, the only way that I'd be able to access my e-mail, and send and receive, from Jackie and everybody el- From everybody.
 '''Lars:''' Why ain't y'all buy a new computer?
 '''Chris:''' Because damn computer expensive. I mean if I had known that was gonna happen I-
 '''Lars:''' PS Triple be expensive, dog!
 '''Chris:''' If I had known that was gonna have happened... I mean it happened at months- It happened- Just happened a month before- A whole month before my computer decided to go and do what it did to me, and become practically unusable and considerably deaaaaad.
 '''Lars:''' Yo dog, ain't y'all computer be all broken and shit for a long time, though? Ain't you know you need a replacement and shit?
 '''Chris:''' No, because-
 '''Lars:''' Jackie be tellin' me that she heard some... Some call where you talked to that Alec Benson Nigga guy. I don't know this guy. You talked to him, and he be askin' you why you ain't do somethin' with your computer. I ain't know what. Why you ain't interneting or somethin'. Us black folk, we ain't know this Internet. He ask you that, why you ain't doin' this, and you said your computer be busted and shit. You tell him the same thing you tell Jackie like a year later. Why you ain't replace the computer in all that time, though? Y'all know the computer be busted, but y'all go and buy a PS Triple.
 '''Chris:''' Because the computer was working for me. It wasn't as busted as it was- As it had become a month later.
 '''Lars:''' But y'all didn't think ahead and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah-
 '''Lars:''' Y'all knew the computer was on its last legs and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, my- Yeah, my bad, I did not think ahead. I thought things'd be cool, but then it turned out they weren't. It... Damn whole buncha twist of fate and everything. Be all up my ass.
 '''Lars:''' Nigga, nigga, nigga, let me give you a metaphorical illusion, if I will, if I may, if you will.
 '''Chris:''' It's cool.
 '''Lars:''' Now, picture your computer like... Like a twenty-nine-year-old nigga and shit. A'ight, now your computer be like a twenty-nine-year-old nigga. You know what kinda life expectancy a twenty-nine-year-old have on the streets? Zero point zero-zero-zero-four percent, to the power of twelve, to the oneth power. That shit be low and shit. So your computer, in a metaphorical sense, be like a nigga who be facin' his be three-oh and shit. And that nigga gonna get capped and shit, dog! Sheeeeeit. Ain't gonna be no fake gun bringin' up in the Starbucks next time. Nigga gonna get capped. Streets be a lottery and shit, dog. So that computer, y'all know that computer be like a twenty-nine-year-old nigga. See, that computer be functionating and pre-vericating and shit. Just like that twenty-nine-year-old nigga be, in the prime of his life with them ripplin' muscles and shit. But a cap gonna come outta mid air, and shot yo' fuckin' computer in the back of the head when he in line at the [[Wikipedia:Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits|Popeye's Chicken]]. And that be all she wrote, nigga. That be all she wrote. Ain't no [[Wikipedia:Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman|Dr. Quinn]] gonna save this nigga up in here, I tell ya what. Sheeeeeit. So that computer be on its last life, and y'all, y'all know that even though it fuctionin' fine today, that computer get a cap in its ass tomorrow. God gonna fire a cap in that computer's ass. And y'all be knowin' that, but y'all ain't replacin' that, but then y'all PS Triple die, because you killed it. You be murderin' that PS Triple, you be murderin' it in cold blood, like, like it be a nigga what wronged you, what didn't pay you your drug money and shit. So you kill that PS Triple, and then you all go and buy a new PS Triple the next day. But you got your computer here, which need to be replaced, your computer which you use to talk to Jackie. But you can't talk to Jackie no more. You just play your games. Y'all be feelin' me, dog?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I be feelin' ya.
 '''Lars:''' So you see, dog, see Jackie be mad because y'all- Y'all be takin' playin' vidya games over talkin' to a real life woman. Sheeeit. I feel her pain and shit. I feel her commissary and commissaratin' and shit. Ain't no PS Triple what got no poontang, I tell ya what. Sheeeeeeeit. Damn! So why y'all... Why y'all pick a PS Triple, over my Jackie Triple? Why y'all be doin' that?
 '''Chris:''' ''(Pause)'' Well... ''(Pause for stress)'' Now look, okay dog, I can- Uh... I will still be able to talk to Jacke through the email with the PS Triple, anyway... With the- AIM, uh... Anyway, I- Anyway, I be gettin' a new computer soon enough, and I be back to- I'll be able to talk to Jackie through AIM if, y'know, she'd be willing to.
 '''Lars:''' But lemme ax you, dog. Now, your PS Triple be gone, and "soon enough" means, like, a day. But, your computer, you means of communication with Jackie and shit, that be gone, but "soon enough", that amount to like months and shit. That be like the whole trimester of a pregnancy what pass by and shit. Shit, I ain't even let this much time pass by before I evacuated that fetus in her belly. Sheeeeeeeit. That be a bigger decision than any PS Triple, I tell you what.
 '''Chris:''' ''(Pause)'' Hmm...
 '''Lars:''' Why y'all go and replace the PS Triple, even though Jackie don't want you to have that addiction?
 '''Chris:''' ''(Pause)'' It's an addiction that I will be able to... get over easily enough... when I actually have the woman nearby me. Why-
 '''Lars:''' Y'all be-
 '''Chris:''' If I- Yeah, you know, I be havin' me- I'll be havin' the woman next to me, and I'd be treatin' her right, I'd be investing more time into her... Right next to me, instead of bein' over the Internet, because I ain't got no power over the Internet, really, Internet just don't work, I- I'm scared to go on the Internet, really, because of the damn trolls, it's real life and- It's real life or bust for me, dog.
 '''Lars:''' But... But dog, okay, dog, I be feelin' that. Them Internets, they be a scary place and shit, especially for a nigga. Sheeeeit. Ain't no fourth dimension and shit up on that Internet what no nigga like myself gonna walk up into, you feelin' me? Sheeit. Shit like a minefield and shit. Damn, dog. But Jackie, see, Jackie, she be all like, "Chris, I know you know I want you gettin' rid a that PS Triple and shit. Shit be like a black hole of addiction and shit, suckin' up your life." And see, what I don't get is why y'all ain't gettin' rid a that PS Triple, because that shit is no good for you. And you gettin' rid a that shit, even if Jackie ain't exist and shit, even if Jackie ain't up on my dick and shit, then you get rid of that PS Triple... You a born-again man. You a new man for gettin' rid a that shit. See, I burned my boats and shit before I even called Jackie, because I knew even if Jackie be all rejectin' me and shit, I'd be a new man for gettin' ridda my addiction. I be a strong man and shit. Show me your strength, nigga. Y'all be feelin' me?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I feel you.
 '''Lars:''' Word, dawg. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit.

===Downtism (1:17:45 - 1:23:05)===
'''Chris:''' Yeah... Uhh, alright listen, we be havin' a cool conversation, it's been good, um... Let me, uh, talk- Let me talk to Jackie for a little while.
 '''Lars:''' Let's see if that bitch be around. ''(Pretends to walk around)'' Yo bitch! Bitch, where you be at?! Now hold on, dog. Sheeeeit, where that bitch at? Hold on... Checkin' the kitchen and shit. Fuck, meatloaf only half-done and shit. Bitch can't even make a meatloaf and shit and steak and shit at the same time? Damn. Used up bitch, poontang and shit. What the- oh, the fuck that smell be? Aw, fuck- Bitch, I told you not to go to that [[Taco Bell]] and shit no more! Shit ain't gangsta! Sheeeit. ''(Back to Chris)'' Bitch be all like, makin' number two and shit right now, she ain't comin' out for a whiiile, let me tell ya that shit.
 '''Chris:''' Uh-ohhhh.
 '''Lars:''' Sheeeit, dawg.
 '''Chris:''' That be- I hear you.
 '''Lars:''' See now dog, y'all got to feel my pain and shit. See y'all just be hearin' about it, I gots to smell it and shit. Damn!
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I hear ya- I get it, I- I can- I hear you, be all-
 '''Lars:''' Y'all know how strong the sense of smell on a nigga is? Y'all be a white nigga and shit, I be a black nigga. See us wide nostrils, we smell like three times what you smell and shit. See, my nostrils, that be like my PS Triple because it's triple the smell power of your... Your thin, white nostrils. Shit.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah well I hear you, dog, I know what- I know what crap smells like and how it comes out. ''(Clears throat)'' Excuse me.
 '''Lars:''' So why y'all ain't gonna get rid a that PS Triple for Jackie and shit? That be, that be my... confuzzlation and shit. ''(Pause)'' See, dog, y'all be like... Lemme put it how I see it, and then I'll wait for yo' responsification. See, all I see, is y'all be saying that y'all ain't gettin' rid a that PS Triple 'til Jackie be by your side and shit. See y'all be wantin' Jackie to be like, watchin' you, and to be like, houndin' you, and to ''substitutionalize'' for that PS Triple and shit. But y'all ain't wanna be gettin' rid a that shit just for yo' own damn self. ''(Pause)'' You feelin' me?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I feel you.
 '''Lars:''' A'ight, dog. Righteous. Righteous and shit. See Jackie, Jackie be feelin' all hurt and shit 'cause y'all ain't wanna improve yourself. Y'all know how fleetin' life is and shit, nigga? Life be fleetin' and shit, even for a white nigga. White nigga can expect to live past 30. Black man can't, but a white man can.
 '''Chris:''' Hmm. Yeah. ''(Pause)''
 '''Lars:''' So why y'all ain't improvin' yourself, dog? ''(Pause)''
 '''Chris:''' To be honest, I- I really- To be honest... I just don't know. ''(Pause)'' It's pretty much, you know, I had my- My mind is so slow, and... It be- I just be fear of change, and... It just hard- It's just hard for- It's just really hard for me and my... Mental- And my mental capacity to... To go through a whole bunch of change so quickly.
 '''Lars:''' Ah, I see, cuz a that [[Autism|Downtism]] and shit.
 '''Chris:''' No it-
 '''Lars:''' I feel you, dog, I feel you.
 '''Chris:''' Uh-
 '''Lars:''' Sheeeeeit.
 '''Chris:''' The- It- Not Down syndrome, ''autism''.
 '''Lars:''' Yeah, yeah, the Downtism. That be what I- Yeah. Shit. Anyway, dog, so what y'all sayin' is, ya got ya vidya games, and Jackie, she be like a woman, with the poontang and shit, and a meatloaf and steak dinner, and y'all be afraid of that. Y'all stick wit' your video games, cuz that all ain't makes you afraid like a woman do.
 '''Chris:''' What- NO. I'm not- I am not afraid of a- I am not afraid of a woman.
 '''Lars:''' Y'all be like, y'all ain't wanna give up PS Triple for a woman though. ''(Awkward pause)''
 '''Chris:''' ''(Chris grunts. It's safe to speculate that he has shit himself by this point.)''
 '''Lars:''' Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit.
 '''Chris:''' ''(Sigh)'', lemme think. ''(Chris thinks for like 30 seconds)''
 '''Lars:''' Nigga you gruntin' or some shit. Shit, dog, y'all be at Taco Bell and shit too, like my Jackie?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. Umm... No, I- I did not go to Taco Bell today.
 '''Lars:''' Shit, what you eat, dog?
 '''Chris:''' I had- I had me a- I had me a [[McDonald's|fish fillet]] tonight.
 '''Lars:''' Shit... ain't no nigga be eatin' no fish. Y'all know us niggas be afraid of water and shit. Why y'all be gruntin', dog? Shit not be settlin' in your stomach and shit?
 '''Chris:''' ''(Pause)'' Hm. ''(Long pause)'' I'unno.

===Remember Kenan & Kel? That was a fun show. (1:23:05 - 1:28:08)===
'''Lars:''' So dog, a'ight, a'ight, let's get back, let's get back. Why y'all... Y'all say you ain't afraid of no woman, and y'all want a woman, but... But yo' actions, and even what you just say to me now, show that you want a vidya game more than a woman. I GUESS I feel that shit, y'know what- I lost my virginity at the age of ten and a half. And ever since then I be all up in the poon tang. I be like a poon hound and shit. See I ain't play no vidya games since like, Atari, and shit. Shit be old school.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah-
 '''Lars:''' Back then everything black and white, not just race politics, see? Y'feelin'?
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. I feel you.
 '''Lars:''' So you know, dog, my first time be scary and shit, I only make that bitch cum like two and a half times. See I be all performance anxiety and shit, but I got through it. Y'all gots to be a MAN and shit. Man up. Y'all gots- Y'all be a man? Or y'all be a boy. What y'all be? ''(Pause while Chris decides)''
 '''Chris:''' I be a man.
 '''Lars:''' See dog, see what I'm feelin', and rightfully, righteously, ''rightatiously'' I should not be tellin' you this, because this hurts my chances and shit. But I will tell you in the interest of bros before hos, that if you got rid of that PS Triple, you got rid of it and you never buy another one, Jackie'd probably kick my black ass out the door and shit. You get rid a that PS Triple, I be out on the street, and Jackie be on your doorstep first thing tomorrow morning and shit. That's all the bitch talk about when she talk about you, is the PS Triple. "PS Triple this, PS Triple that." Well sometimes she talked about the lies and shit too, but mostly the PS Triple.
 '''Chris:''' ''(Pause)'' Yeah... I hear ya, it's- It's a lot. Alright, well- Listen, it's a bit late, and uh... I wanna be gettin' me a good night's- I wanna be gettin' me a good night's sleep. Cuz, you know, gonna be another day tomorrow.
 '''Lars:''' A'ight, dog, a'ight, I feel you. Yo, yo, dog, yo dog. You know what I'm doin' right now? Now what I'm doin'?
 '''Chris:''' What?
 '''Lars:''' Holdin' up my fist, dog. Solidarity! Peace, dog.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah. Alright.
 '''Lars:''' Sheeeit. So y'all got your vidya games, Jackie- She be all up in that toilet, like another hour or two, shit... I'll tell her to wipe her ass and them come jump on my dick and shit. I'll be like all up in that poontang. Yo, I'll write you an email and shit, tell you all about that poon tang. And you write me an email tellin' me about y'all video games, that way we can exchange and learn from each other's culture, see 'cause I- I be like with a woman and shit, and I can tell you what that be like. And you be playin' vidya games, which I ain't familiar with, and then tell me what it be like to just be playin' video games in your room all day.
 '''Chris:''' ''(Pause, not getting it)'' Hm.
 '''Lars:''' See, we each have our different priorities. See, you want your video games and I want Jackie. I wanna be with Jackie. See dog- Dawg, dawg, dawg, now... I'll let you go soon, I'll let you go soon, cuz I know you tired and shit. I know white people like to go to bed before midnight. But let me ax you something, one more question real quick. I be your nigga and shit, you be my nigga. Y'all be honest and straightforward with me. Now-
 '''Chris:''' I be honest and straightforward.
 '''Lars:''' A'ight, a'ight, now y'all be sayin' to Jackie that you want Jackie and shit. Y'all be sayin' to everyone out there that you want Jackie.
 '''Chris:''' Yeah.
 '''Lars:''' More than anything. But the situation-
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I want Jackie more than anything.
 '''Lars:''' The situation be like, you ain't givin' up no vidya games for her. Y'all just want your vidya game. So you can tell me, bro. Tell me, my nigga... Y'all really want Jackie or not? Or do y'all want your vidya games more than you actually want Jackie, if you want Jackie? You can be honest with me now-
 '''Chris:''' I want Jackie- I want Jackie and I want to be able to keep my video games.
 '''Lars:''' Sheeeeit, dog, that ain't always an option. Can't have your cake and eat it too. Or as we say in nigga culture, "Can't have your [[Wikipedia:Grape soda|grape soda]] and drink it too." Cuz see, black people don't eat cake. It's that devil food, it-
 '''Chris:''' Yeah, I like- I like [[Wikipedia:Orange soft drink|orange soda]].
 '''Lars:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah, orange soda. That be what white people drink.
 '''Chris:''' You remember [[Wikipedia:Kenan & Kel|''Kenan & Kel'']]? That was a funny sh- That was a fun show.
 '''Lars:''' Who the fuck Kenan & Kel? That the nigga that owe me money? You tell that fuckin' nigga to give me my fifteen dolla'! You see that nigga? Sheeeit, fake nigga if ever there was one. Damn.
 '''Chris:''' No, I- I'm talking about the show that was on [[Wikipedia:Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]].
 '''Lars:''' Nickel-lo... What the fuck do that be? That be one of them [[Wikipedia:Nickelodeon (movie theater)|nickel and dime theaters]] from the [[1920s]] and shit? Fuckin' [[Wikipedia:Flapper|flappers]] and shit, [[Homos|women with short hair]]? Sheeeeeeit.
 '''Chris:''' Yea- Alright, well I'll let you- Alright, well I'll let you go, it's been- It's been cool hangin' with ya. You my nigga- ''(Lars talks over Chris)''
 '''Lars:''' A'ight, dog, I'll talk to you soon. I'll talk to you soon, I'ma go fuck Jackie now. I'll talk to you soon, dog, we'll be in touch and shit. Nice meetin' you and shit.
 '''Chris:''' Okay. Yeah, alright.

'''''Saw''''' is a horror movie franchise that has been ongoing since [[2004]].

Mary Poppins

2023-04-11T14:00:41Z

Y0h 513nn R3n:

[[Image:Ss03.jpg|thumb|Mrs. Banks, wearing the "Votes for Women" sash that Chris so blatantly misinterpreted.]]

'''''Mary Poppins''''' is a 1964 Disney movie that is highly regarded as a classic of children's and musical cinema. It is also the favorite film of [[Christian Weston Chandler]], who has made references to the film several times in his usual [[Random-access humor|context-eschewing style]].

His extreme zeal for "[[women's rights]]" likely comes from the character Mrs. Banks, the mother of Jane & Michael. As the story is set in England in the "spring of 1910" (although Emmeline Pankhurst's second arrest of 1909 was mentioned in an earlier song), women do not yet have the right to vote. She sang the second song of the film, "Sister Suffragette", and she made numerous references to the movement after that.

Mrs. Banks and her friends were depicted as struggling for the greater cause of being treated as an equal, with the same rights and treatment. But Chris, seeing Mrs. Banks speak fondly of all the shock value acts the protestors did (e.g. throwing rotten eggs at the prime minister), decided to take it to the only logical conclusion he could come up with: stripping and fucking.

{{Quote|But Thank God and Jesus, my Guardian Angel from the other side of the world found me. She, a Good, Loyal, Honest Sonichu & Rosechu fan, got my YouTube and Facebook accounts for me, and, she was a real big help and the "Spoon full of sugar" I needed to "help the medicine go down"|Chris, pissing off God and Walt Disney at the same time.}}

*Early in his [[Blanca_Emails,_August_2008#Blanca_introduces_Jiggliami|e-mail conversations with Blanca]], Chris mentioned that Mary Poppins is his favorite movie.
*In the 25 September 2008 update to the [[The_OFFICIAL_Sonichu_%26_Rosechu_Blog#25_September_2008|OFFICIAL Sonichu & Rosechu Blog]], Chris referred to [[PandaHalo]] as a "spoonful of sugar" (and felt the need to point out exactly where the reference came from).
*In the [[For My Sweetest Ivy]] video, Chris sang a riff on Dick Van Dyke's musical number "Jolly Holiday." He sang it again in [[A CWC Audition]], and did a [[Julie]]-themed version in [[BlueSpike Skype Logs 10]].
*During [[Mumble 2]], [[Clyde Cash]] and other trolls drew Chris out on his love of the movie, and then made fun of him at length.
*While talking to Julie in [[Mumble 3]], he suggested that if she didn't know what to say, she could say "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
*In [[Mailbag 54]], Chris used "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" as an example of his substantial vocabulary.
*In Chris's 2010-vintage [[The Hook Cafe|''The HooK'' Café]] personal ad, when asked for a line from his favorite movie, he answered with "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
*Likewise, in his [[Dating_profiles#Book_of_Matches|Book of Matches profile]], he cites Mary Poppins as his favorite movie, and his [[Match.com]] profile mentions that it's one of his favorite things.
*In his MyBUZZ! [[Quizzes#Christian_Weston_Chandler_Quiz|quiz about himself]], the second question is "Which is his favorite movie of all time?" and the answer is "Mary Poppins."
*Chris has been known to use "What is your favorite movie?" as a security question protecting the passwords to some of his websites and user accounts. The answer, invariably, is "Mary Poppins," which for a time made life easy for trolls looking to hack Chris's accounts.
*Chris performs a horribly mangled version of "Step in Time" in his video [[I like Mary Poppins]].
*Chris's first [[Facebook]] post in [[November 2014]] is a bit from "Step in Time", connecting to him voting for Election Day.
*During the [[Copitz]] interview, Chris said that his favorite movie was Mary Poppins, and quotes the line "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious".
*Chris sang "Step in Time" during a [[Twitch]] stream of ''Burnout Paradise''.

==''Mary Poppins'' in the comic==
*In [[Episode 17]], [[Rosechu]] breaks into the "Votes For Women" segment of the song "Step In Time".
*In [[Episode 20]], Sonichu references Mary Poppins directly, but as he forgets to use a verb, it sounds less like a proposal for a nice evening with the family and more like [[pedofork]]/[[guro]] horror. (''"Let's [...] head home for dinner and "[[Mary Poppins]]" with [[Sonichu and Rosechu's children|our children]]!"'').
*In the special episode from [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], "A Sonichu Christmas," Sonichu uses Mary Poppins's "[[Wikipedia:Chim Chim Cher-ee|Chim Chim Cheroo]]" magic trick to fly up the chimney.

{{Quote|I ONLY WISH TO TELL [[Honest Content|THE TRUTH]] AND SPREAD IT ON THE [[Chris and the Internet|INTERNET]].|Chris}}
On 1 [[May 2009]], for reasons that only [[GodJesus]] knows, [[Christian Weston Chandler]] registered on '''{{w|Wikipedia}}''' as [[Chris-chan Sonichu|ChrisChanSonichu]]. He did this almost solely to create a user page that is to record one of the most in-depth autobiographical accounts of his life.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ChrisChanSonichu User talk:ChrisChanSonichu], Wikipedia</ref>

A user page is not a proper article, and therefore not subject to the same strict guidelines as an article, but as biographical and personal an article as Chris's was a flagrant violation of Wikipedia policy. The Wikipedia community tends to frown on the use of the user pages as web space;<ref>[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:User pages#Excessive unrelated content|Wikipedia:User pages#Excessive unrelated content]]</ref> the user pages should usually be reserved for purposes somehow related to the Wikipedia project, and user pages for users who don't contribute anything to the articles frequently get deleted. Chris, of course, made it abundantly clear that he's not interested in actually editing the project.

Chris's user page was deleted by a Wikipedia administrator, who believed it to be the work of a [[troll]]. Sadly, the [[Chris's Wikipedia profile|details]] shows that this was the real deal.

The only other thing Chris did was add his name to the article on high-functioning [[autism]], under the list of "famous individuals that may have had many different variations of autism along with HFA."<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&tagfilter=&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=ChrisChanSonichu&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=&month=-1 User contributions for ChrisChanSonichu], Wikipedia</ref><ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=High-functioning_autism&diff=prev&oldid=287579250 High-functioning autism], Wikipedia</ref> The kicker is that [[Chris and his Ego|he put himself right next to]] [[Wikipedia:Michelangelo|Michelangelo]]. [[Hotel Ricky Ricardo|Again]].

To date, the "Christian Weston Chandler" article on Wikipedia has been created by trolls four times and deleted each time: 15 [[February 2009|February]], 26 [[March 2009|March]], 28 [[April 2009|April]] and 3 [[May 2009]].<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Christian_Weston_Chandler</ref> It has consequently been "[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Protection policy#Creation protection|salted]]" or protected so that it cannot be re-created under that title. Chris's account was also blocked indefinitely for violating many rules. The page on [[Ruckersville, Virginia]] is also locked to non-autoconfirmed users to prevent people from adding mentions of Chris.

To this day, discussions still regularly appear on Wikipedia debating over whether Chris is notable enough to be included on Wikipedia, with users ranging from weens to fans, to even normal Wikipedians. So far, no such page has been created on English-language Wikipedia. However, ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' is briefly mentioned in the history section of the [[Kiwi Farms]] page.

==[[May 2009]] drama==
In a [[Captain's Log, Stardate May 3rd, 2009|video]] on 3 May, Chris makes a case for his worthiness and rallies his [[True and Honest]] [[fans]] to restore his biography. He also posted the following on his Wikipedia discussion page:

{{quotebox|Dear Sir/Madam,

LOOK, I do not have the appropriate [[Slow-in-the-minds|calm state of mind]] to make time to READ those numerous upon numerous small-print details, much less memorize them.

I started [[CWCipedia|my OWN Wikipedia]] page to hopefully counter that and better the people's General Understand of the Noble Gentleman I truly am. I SPENT HOURS, recalling MEMORY after MEMORY to type up the [[HONEST]]-TO-GOD TRUTH.

Plus, I have [[Vanessa Hudgens|Vanessa Anne Hudgens]] as an honest, very close [[Gal-Pal]], and you know very well how powerful she is as a STAR.

In short, Chris didn't give a shit about contributing to Wikipedia, only aiming to use it as a means to present what he thinks he is without needing to vandalize his Encyclopedia Dramatica page.

==Mainspace articles involving Chris==
[[File:Cwc on wikipedia.png|200px|thumb|left|Note that it calls us an "infamous" wiki.]]
On 13 [[August 2010]], a new article on Mr. Chandler was created under the name Christian W. Chandler. The article consisted of the following:

{{Quotebox|'''Christian Weston Chandler''' (born '''Christopher Weston Chandler''' on 24 February 1982) is an illustrator from Charlottesville, Virginia. He is known mainly as the creator of '''Sonichu''', a fan fiction comic based off the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Pokémon]] franchise. He was also featured in the May 2004 issue of [[Nintendo Power Magazine|Nintendo Power]] for his documentary, the April 2005 issue of Nintendo Power, and the community college newspaper for [[Piedmont Virginia Community College]].

Christian Weston Chandler's birth name was, in fact, '''Christopher'''. It took a chance encounter with [http://www.leonardbearstein.com/ Leonard Bearstein] in Regency Square Mall for his current name to be bestowed upon him. Aged 11 at the time, Chris and his father were in the mall for holiday shopping when Chris came across Leonard and engaged him in conversation. The man behind the microphone, mishearing the name "Christopher", addressed the young boy as Christian, a name that struck a chord within the young Chandler's heart. All it took was one legal name change for Christian to assume the identity he carries with him to this day. He acknowledges jokingly that it was as if God spoke through the bear to give him the name he always wanted.}}

The article used Chris's two ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' appearances, as well as the [[Animal Crossing Documentary#PVCC.27s news report|writeup]] in the [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|PVCC]] ''Forum'' and the [[IT TOOK A TALKING BEAR TO GIVE THE NAME A YOUNG BOY LOVES]] as references. Only a day later, this article was also nominated for deletion; it got deleted less than an hour-and-a-half later after the author requested it to be deleted.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Christian_W._Chandler</ref> Further inspection showed that the article creator was a sockpuppet of a user who had previously been banned from Wikipedia.

On 21 [[April 2016]], an article was created under the title '''Sonichu (Comic)''' and soon nominated for deletion; the article without the (Comic) qualifier was already protected from creation. It read, as of 22 April 2016:

{{Quotebox|Sonichu is the comic created by Christian Weston Chandler, which combines the Pokémon, Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog. THe comics contain several references to Chris's real life and he has also created numerous custom Pokemon cards featuring Sonichu and other characters from the series. Sonichu is a recolor of Sonic the Hedgehog in Pikachu yellow, and he travels with a human companion named Chris, who is based on the real-life author. You can see many of these cards as well as a more detailed biography of the character at this link: http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Sonichu_(character)}}

==Other Wikipedia edits of note==
[[File:Meganwikipedia.png|200px|thumb|right|Megan disapproves.]]
[[File:Smitheywiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Cole approves.]]
In January and February 2010, [[Megan Schroeder]] (or a person pretending to be her) removed references to Chris from the Wikipedia articles on Manchester High School and [[Cole Smithey]].<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Meganshroeder</ref> Her edit summaries both ended with "that was either put there by vandals or by Christian under the assumption he is important enough to be mentioned (he is mentally handicapped)." Less than a day later, her edit summaries were struck out.

The articles' histories indicate that both mentions of Chris were added by anonymous users who most likely are not Chris, as the genuine article would have been far more [[Chris and English|verbose and rambling]]. One editor cited this very wiki as a reference, running afoul of Wikipedia's policy on [[Wikipedia:WP:RS|reliable sources]]. As our own Wwwwolf put it, "Sorry, but Chris can't be mentioned here either unless there are reliable sources for this. That means actual publications. Also see Biographies of Living Persons on why sourcing stuff in biographies is such a big deal. This is not CWCki or ED; please remember Wikipedia's rules." Skimming through the talk page and edit history of any article even remotely connected with Chris reveals large amounts of petty vandalism from [[weens]].<ref group = note>Articles infected with Chris related vandalism include [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sean_Marshall&diff=next&oldid=350396058 Sean Marshall], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ruckersville,_Virginia&diff=399557954&oldid=399169556 Ruckersville], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charlottesville,_Virginia&diff=315040313&oldid=315040250 Charlottesville] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Hill&diff=276226199&oldid=276119469 Jimmy Hill], among others. </ref> This has led Wikipedia to set their [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Edit filter|edit filter]] to prevent users from making edits with Chris-related phrases.<ref group = note>For more info see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchFilter=257 filter log] of filter 257 - Sonichu and other repeat vandalism. The phrases [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/4961668 "Christian Weston Chandler"] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/4954315 "Sonichu"] are disallowed by this filter.</ref>

On 22 [[February 2010]], the article on Cole Smithey was placed up for deletion.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cole_Smithey</ref> The first two votes in the discussion both called for the deletion of the article, and both made explicit mention of Chris; the second one read, "'''Strong delete''' unless somebody wishes to write a sourced, neutral article about him. Otherwise, this serves as cannon fodder for the ChrisChan Sonichu fanatics over at [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]." The article was deleted on 1 March.

It should also be noted that an account with the name Cole Smithey edited the Wikipedia article on Cole, and spammed film articles with links to his reviews. Whether or not this is the real Cole (who is known to be rather egotistical) remains to be seen.

{{quoteboxblue|Кристин Уэстон Чендлер (англ. Christine Weston Chandler, в прошлом — Кристиан Уэстон Чендлер (англ. Christian Weston Chandler), род. 24 февраля 1982; также известен как Крис-Чан (англ. Chris-chan)) — видеоблогер и создатель веб-комикса «Соничу». Считается некоторыми одной из самых задокументированных личностей в истории.

Биография

Родился 24 февраля 1982 года в Шарлотсвилле (штат Вирджиния, США), в семье Роберта (скончался в 2011 году) и Барбары Чендлеров. В возрасте около пяти лет ему поставили диагноз «аутизм». В 1992 году его первоначальное имя, Кристофер, было изменено на Кристиан.

Большую часть жизни Крис провёл в городе Ракерсвилл, где и проживает, и в Шарлотсвилле. За пределами Виргинии, где эти города расположены, Крис, по состоянию на 2015 год, был лишь два раза: во-первых, когда навещал своего двоюродного брата Кола в Калифорнии, а во-вторых, когда отправился в Кливленд (штат Огайо) в поисках своей очередной девушки, с которой переписывался (на деле оказавшейся очередным троллем). После безуспешной поездки в Огайо родители запретили Крису выезжать за пределы родного штата.

Первый выпуск своего веб-комикса «Соничу» был опубликован 24 марта 2005 года. Одноимённый персонаж является гибридом ежа Соника и Пикачу.

Он стал известен в Интернете в конце 2007 года, после того как привлёк внимание пользователей сайтов 4chan и Encyclopedia Dramatica. Первоначальное очарование было вызвано его фирменным самодельным медальоном Соничу (впоследстыии украденным и сожжённым), его детскими рисунками, изображающими его неоригинального перекрашенного Соника, и бродяжничеством в общественных местах[источник не указан 186 дней]. Из-за этого Кристиан стал жертвой онлайн-преследований и троллинга.

В 2011 году британский мультипликатор Гарри Партридж заметил:

В этом же году он начал идентифицировать себя как транс-лесбиянка по имени Кристин Уэстон Чендлер. Она была арестована в 2014 году после попытки кражи коробки с игрой Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric прямо в местном магазине сети GameStop и нападения на сотрудника магазина перед тем, как покинуть его[9].

30 июля 2021 года были опубликованы аудиозаписи, на которых Кристин утверждала, что изнасиловала свою слабоумную, страдающую деменцией мать. Эти двое были разделены местным отделением полиции в один и тот же день[10]. 1 августа по обвинению в инцесте она была арестована[11][12].

Biography

Born February 24, 1982 in Charlottesville (Virginia, USA), in the family of Robert (deceased in 2011) and Barbara Chandler. At the age of about five, he was diagnosed with autism. In 1992, his original name, Christopher, was changed to Christian.

Chris spent most of his life in the city of Ruckersville, where he lives, and in Charlottesville. Outside of Virginia, where these cities are located, Chris, as of 2015, was only twice: firstly, when he visited his cousin Kol in California, and secondly, when he went to Cleveland, Ohio, in search of his next girlfriend, with whom he corresponded (in fact, turned out to be another troll). After an unsuccessful trip to Ohio, Chris' parents forbade him to travel outside his native state.

The first issue of his webcomic Sonichu was published on March 24, 2005. The eponymous character is a hybrid of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu.

He became famous on the Internet in late 2007, after attracting the attention of users of the sites 4chan and Encyclopedia Dramatica. The initial fascination stemmed from his signature homemade Sonichu medallion (later stolen and burned), his childhood drawings of his non-original repainted Sonic, and loitering in public places [source unspecified 186 days]. Because of this, Christian became a victim of online harassment and trolling.

In 2011, British cartoonist Harry Partridge remarked:
“ That same year, Chris began to identify as a trans lesbian named Christine Weston Chandler. He was arrested in 2014 after attempting to steal a box of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric from a local GameStop store and assaulting a store employee before leaving “.

On July 30, 2021, audio recordings were released in which Christian claimed to have raped his feeble-minded, demented mother. The two were separated by the local police station on the same day[10]. On August 1, she was arrested on charges of incest[11][12]. }}

On 9 July 2022, an article on Chris was created on the Dutch Wikipedia under the title "{{w|Chris Chan|lang=nl}}". An archive copy is linked [https://archive.ph/iMfa5 here].

Chris and oratory

2023-04-11T13:40:28Z

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* Inability to communicate properly */

[[File: PercilesOration.jpg|thumb|What Chris thinks he's doing when he gives a speech.]]

{{Quote|Style has three kinds of excellence, correctness, lucidity and elegance (for many include the all-important quality of appriopiateness under the heading of elegance).|Quintilian, On the Education of the Orator, 1.5.1}}

Whenever Chris wants to make an argument regarding his opinions, one way he’ll attempt to move people is through '''orating''' his reasoning onto them. Since Chris lacks some of the basic skills needed to make an effective speech, rarely ever plans out anything he makes, has serious communication problems, and never does research, his speeches always turn out lackluster at best and horrifyingly [[Naive|naive]] at worst. This could be due to his [[autism]], since communication effectiveness is often affected by it.<ref name="autcom">[[Wikipedia:Autism#Communication|Wikipedia article on autism impairing communication]]</ref>

==Chris as a public speaker==
[[File:Chris_orating_artwork_Merttey.png|thumb|Chris, pushing the boundaries of rhetoric.]]
Chris often struggles to speak in a coherent manner that can convincingly hold an argument, some of the reasons are as follows:

===Inability to communicate properly===

Chris has been known to sometimes have issues making his points clear. His heavy [[speech impediment]], brought on by autism,<ref name="autcom"></ref> makes him incredibly hard to understand at times. He also, unfortunately, often seems to space out or lose focus mid-sentence, and repeat a lot of his points when he can't think of anything to say. His orations often include adaptations from other people's or character's speeches, since Chris seems to have a difficult time being creative and [[Things_Chris_has_ripped_off|original]], and so they often turn out somewhat disjointed and weak. He almost always seems to get it right whenever his speech involves rage or wanting someone to die, since all Chris can think about in those speeches is getting his goal accomplished as soon as possible. This indicates a very physically-focused style of thinking, also possibly a symptom of his autism, that prevents him from communicating theoretical ideas easily.

In many of his speeches, Chris also tends to use very fancy sounding words to make himself look more intelligent than he actually is.<ref>[[July_2016_Facebook_posts#.22I.27m_not_on_drugs.21.22]]</ref> Chris seems to think that by using obscure words, or by making up phrases composed of existing words and affixes, his speeches mean more than they actually do and people will think he knows what he's talking about. Unfortunately, however, this often has the opposite effect, especially if Chris is using the word in the wrong way, as he is known to to, and if the person listening to the speech isn't already familiar with [[CWC-isms|Chris's strange vocabulary]], they'll be completely lost.

===Lack of self-awareness===

{{quote|"Be the change you wish to see in the world"|A quote which Chris should have taken advice from}}

Despite wanting to change the world, Chris rarely ever seems to attempt to change himself, whether for good or bad. One of the most important aspects of a public speaker is their willingness to not only change the ways others think but to also change themselves. Therefore, an effective speaker would always be aware of wherever their argument or reasoning falls flat. Instead, Chris, who often speaks and thinks with a somewhat inflated [[ego]], never looks into his overall character. He tends to treat his good qualities with care and attention, and completely overlooks a majority of his bad ones. The only times he mentions his bad qualities is whenever he feels he needs the pity of people more fortunate than him to make himself feel useful. Because of this complete lack of self-awareness, it is very hard to actually follow any type of advice Chris will give, given his inexperience in these same things.

===Never doing research===

In order to get their point across, a strong orator must know a lot about what they're trying to prove to their audience. This means doing extensive research on that given topic and evaluating their current stance on the topic whenever contradictory evidence comes to light. Chris, unfortunately, often neglects this part of the process due to [[Chris and work|bad habits]]. Because of how little research Chris does to make a point, and having lived a very sheltered childhood, Chris seems to base his points on many logical fallacies, childlike beliefs, his past experiences, and baseless assumptions. Even when he does do research, the arguments he makes will typically fail due to him misrepresenting or misinterpreting claims made in his sources. Whenever he does research, his preferred source seems to be [[Wikipedia]]<ref>[[Autism_Tutorial_Part_1]]</ref>, which many people do not recommend as a secondary source, given how '''anyone''' can edit its articles. Even if Wikipedia itself was a credible source that could be used to make a strong argument, Chris will often cherrypick whatever proves his point the best, ignoring all of the other parts of the article.

===Habit of lying===

Most importantly, for any public speaker, they need to be someone that can be trusted by the general public. Given how often Chris lies, it is difficult for his speeches to have credibility, and so lose a lot of their communicative power. The law of noncontradiction and liar's paradox give reasons to disbelieve someone who lies even once. Some examples of his lies, specifically those in his spoken presentations ([[lies|comprehensive list here]]) are as follows:

* Chris said that Blanca Weiss received the medallion, and sent it back.<ref>[[Chris_Chan_Update_9_October_2008|Video in which Chris lied about the medallion]]</ref> This was of course a lie, since Chris had made a new medallion, and the old one had been publicly destroyed.<ref>[[Medallions#Mark_1_.28and_decoy.29|First medallion destruction video]]</ref>

* Chris has made occasional claims<ref>See [[Captain's Log, Stardate February 18th, 2009]] and [[Captain's Log, Stardate July 29th, 2009]].</ref> that he really doesn't hate [[homos]], despite several instances of him showing otherwise.<ref>[[Captain's Log, Stardate March 10th, 2009]], [[CWC Address to Unilever About AXE]], [[Don't Trust Any Homos Over There]], [[It's UGH!]], [[CWC "Boyfriend"]], [[Bless the Fans, Curse the Trolls]]</ref>

* Whilst technically not lying, Chris's moving of the goalposts when it comes to Liquid Chris's credibility as the true and honest CWC is incredibly damaging to Chris's image as an honest and credible person. This includes the [[SingStar Challenge|''SingStar'' Challenge]].

* Chris went to great lengths to tell the fans that he would never show gore and violence in his comics. However, he breaks this statement by killing Evan in a very gory fashion in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]. He later insists in [[Jackie_Chat_1|his first chat with Jackie]] that it was justified because Alec "gored it up first." Episode #17, which was written long before ''Asperchu'' even began, ended with Rosechu stripping naked, ''clawing a man's head open'', ''electrocuting him'', and ''leaving him in a puddle of his own blood''.

* Chris promised to [[03212010 C-Ya Later.MOV|"remove [him]self from the Internet"]], only to [[Cleveland Show Voice Rant|return in less than 48 hours]].

==Common traits of Chris's Speech==

===Rage===

[[File: KillTrump.jpg|thumb|A typical death threat]]

Chris often has a very black and white view of people and evil, tending to view people as his "enemies" if he doesn't like them, even if the situation is vastly more complicated in nature. This, and his lack of tact when it comes to his stronger emotions, be they love or hate unfortunately cause Chris to lash out at people with insults, death threats and obscenities. This behaviour even got his "CChanSonichu" YouTube Channel [[YouTube#CChanSonichu_.28April_2009_.E2.80.93_July_2009.29|taken down]] at one point. The extent of what Chris might say to his offenders is ultimately unpredictable. Sometimes, Chris will only go off on a tangent on how much of a dirty troll his offenders are, and will rage, thinking that that will work as an effective way of changing their minds about conducting the behaviour that was angering him. Other times, Chris will absolutely despise a person's guts so much, that when he orates about their dastardly deeds, he will want the person in question to either suffer or be wiped off the face of the Earth entirely.

===Threats===

Chris sometimes will threaten his audience in an attempt to get them to do something to better themselves, or that will in some way benefit him. In the video, [[THAT IS MY HOUSE]], he demands all of the trolls to delete everything they found out about Chris's house off the internet, and even goes as far as threatening [[Chris and the law|the law]] onto them. Also, during the [[Clyde Cash]] saga, Chris has made several attempts to blackmail Clyde in a series of videos where he's threatening Clyde to stop trolling him. In some of these other videos, Chris tries to make Clyde look like a pathetic weakling and makes himself look like a Herculean chick-magnet, while he was threatening him to have a fight with him.<ref>[[Challenge_for_Clyde]]</ref>

===Bias and one-sided arguments===

Chris has certain behaviours that can be seen as very stubborn, his refusal to change himself or his beliefs are often a detriment to him. This means that regardless of what evidence you give to him that suggests he’s wrong, he’ll always try to find some kind of information out of thin air or fallacious argument to further verify his beliefs. Whenever he gives a speech, often times he doesn't ever think about why other people might not agree with his opinions, or he won't think about the kind of people that might not benefit from his opinions. This seems to be a symptom of some level of [[narcissism]] which he has developed over years of enabling by his parents.

===Logical Fallacies===

When majoring in [[CADD]], Chris never ended up taking any classes in rhetoric, so Chris oftentimes falls into logical fallacies in his many rhetorical pieces. His arguments usually end up very unsubstantial as a result, with no relevant evidence in many instances. The following examples illustrate the logical fallacies common to Chris's videos and speeches, and give examples for each.

====''Ad Hominem''====

Chris may sometimes, misguidedly, rely on insults and ad hominem arguments to argue a point. This is where someone may say something, such as accusing him of being homosexual, and then Chris, instead of arguing against that point using reason, will insult the person's character. This of course is a fallacious method of argument and does not verify Chris's sexuality at all.

For instance, in the video [[Kill De Jack]], Chris argues that:
# The homosexual ads are inappropriate for his website, and should be replaced with something else.
# [[Clyde Cash]]'s billboards contain false information
# Chris is straight.

However, the arguments he uses are: Jack makes Chris sick, Chris mocks Jack, Chris says Clyde is lazy, Chris appeals to an imaginary audience, saying he's not the only one sick of the ads, Chris says Jack is a sniveling coward, Chris says Jack is poor, Chris slanders Clyde and attempts to de-platform him, and then flips the bird at Jack. Not a single valid point was made.

====Strawman arguments====

If Chris is arguing against something airtight, he may choose to misrepresent the argument, and instead argue against a malformed, flawed version of that argument created in his mind. These were used a lot against the troll who intellectually challenged him the most: [[Alec Benson Leary]], who wanted Chris not to use [[Evan Christopher George]]'s Simonchu character, which Chris had gender-bended into [[Simonla Rosechu]]. It was very hard for Alec to keep the argument on track, as Chris was so frequently using Simonchu as a strawman, saying "Evan can have his Simonchu", when Alec was clearly talking about Simonla, which makes the [[Alec Benson Leary calls]] particularly hard to listen to, since Chris's incessant use of this fallacy was so annoying.

====Moving the goalposts====

Chris has a habit of not thinking his demands though, or otherwise let his [[ego]] get in the way of [[reality]], this will sometimes cause people to easily prove themselves correct by Chris's standard, thus winning the argument. However, in retaliation, Chris will, instead of admitting defeat, redefine the specifications and requirements of evidence, which makes the process of being proven wrong an endless cycle of being presented with evidence and demanding more. This allows Chris to believe that any of his misguided delusions are true without allowing evidence to prove otherwise.

A fantastic example of Chris's employment of this fallacy was in the [[Liquid Chris]] saga. Chris would set goals for Liquid Chris to reach in order to prove that he is the true and honest creator of [[Sonichu]], and even though Liquid continually achieved these and proved that he was the true and honest creator of Sonichu, Chris would never afford him the credit he deserved. Instead, Chris would just say that the proof didn't matter because he said so, and in order for him to prove his legitimacy he must fulfil this next goal. This is a very good example of moving the goalposts, especially since Liquid Chris didn't actually create Sonichu in the first place; The only reason Liquid could so easily fulfil Chris's demands was because they weren't asking for actual relevant evidence, but instead were egotistical assertions that he was the only person who could speak Spanish (disproven in a video by Liquid in which he shows a solid grasp of not only Spanish, but numerous other languages) or [[SingStar Challenge|could sing]]. It's an incredible example of this logical fallacy interacting with Chris's narcissism.

==Notable Speeches from Chris==

A series of commentaries on Chris's notable speeches, focusing specifically on Chris's ability to communicate, body language and rhetoric.

===Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE===

{{Main|Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE}}

Chris's FUTURE MESSAGE speech is a solid example of Chris's early oral works, featuring a lot of the problems listed in this article, and Chris's somewhat problematic beliefs. It was filmed on his [[Chris%27s_birthday#2007.2C_25th_birthday|25th birthday]] as a sort of set of proverbs and imparted wisdoms that Chris had accumulated through his life, that he wanted to pass to future generations. Chris was very confident and proud of this speech, as can be noted by his intention to have it shown in local schools.<ref>[[Christian_Weston_Chandler%27s_FUTURE_MESSAGE#Intended_audience|mentioning intended audience on the speech's article]]</ref> However, he has never been approached with any kind of offer for it to be displayed anywhere, yet.

====Communication issues====

Chris is holding a piece of paper, on which his script is written, and relies heavily on it, often neglecting to look at the camera, causing the communication to not be as effective. A better public speaker would usually try to maintain eye contact with their audience, too keep their attention and to seem personable, usually by either learning the script, knowing what they want to say and just improvising around that, placing or holding the script in a position where it can be glanced at without having to look away from the audience, or using more subtle note cards with pointers to remind them of what to say, making sure to maintain eye contact throughout.

Throughout the video, the many pronunciation problems that Chris has are on full display, saying the word "example" as "etsample" and "relaxing" as "relatsing", as well as generally slurred speech which is spoken too quickly to be effective.

Chris also shows his regional dialect, as well as his wit, with the phrase:

{{quotebox|I am here, and y'all are there.}}

Interestingly, the hand sign Chris uses to illustrate his oration when saying that it is his 25th birthday is holding up three fingers. This makes the communication confusing, as a good public speaker is often sure to make what they go with their hands match up with what they are saying. Many of Chris's gestures used throughout his output are meaningless on their own, only present to convey rhythm and emphasis.

Chris's stuttering is also exemplified here, when he talks faster than his brain can think (which is easy for him to do, since he has a tendency to speak fast, like children usually do, and doesn't seem to have an easy time constructing sentences in his head) he says the wrong word, and often goes back a few words to say the clause again to correct the mistake. An example of this being:

{{quotebox|Today, I am share- intend to share some wise words}}

Chris caught himself saying the wrong word, and so corrects himself. The amount he does this varies heavily on how hard he finds the sentence to think of, luckily, the script helps him know what to say if that happens, so it doesn't happen as much in this particular video. The parts where he stutters most is where he goes off of his script and makes a side comment, such as:

{{quotebox|I haven't done it and I don't like it—doing either of them}}

====Rhetorical problems====

Chris uses a litany of rhetorical devices to put across his points, such as calling cigarettes "death sticks" and saying he would like to send all of the tobacco that exists to the moon on a rocket. Chris also takes a negative stance on alcohol, saying that it's a "slow-acting poison". However, these arguments somewhat fall flat when he uses himself as an example of the benefits of not smoking or drinking ("fit as a fiddle"). While Chris is indeed not dead or suffering liver problems, he isn't exactly a portrait of good health, being unfit and overweight at 25. The use of good examples is extremely important in rhetoric and public speaking in general. If Chris let go of his [[ego]], he'd be better off citing straight-edge celebrities.

Chris also speaks out against gender transitioning and intimate relations with the same gender. Unfortunately, this argument doesn't really have much to stand on, as Chris merely makes a somewhat feeble and lazy appeal to authority, by invoking the name of [[Wikipedia:Alfred_Kinsey|Dr. Alfred Kinsey]], a 1950s sex researcher. He also mentions the "The Big Man Upstairs", presumably referring to the Christian God, which Chris believed in at the time, since Christian marriage is between a man and a woman, and premarital sex is prohibited, making same-sex relations a sin in general. He also claims homosexuality can "really jeopardize the entire future of the world and the human race", which is completely untrue and baseless, since LGBTQ+ people are in the minority and can still reproduce through surrogacy. None of these arguments are good or well-supported enough to be taken seriously.

Chris insists that women not be so picky when it comes to finding a partner. As well as this showing that Chris seeks to undermine female agency and self-esteem, it also is a transparent attempt to get women to have a relationship with him out of pity. This is an abuse of his platform as a public speaker and really undermines a lot of his points. Chris could improve his public speaking a lot by becoming more humble and respectful of other people's wishes, and unfortunately did not manage to provide good enough citations for his points.

In conclusion, we can see from this example that both Chris's ability to communicate and rhetorical discourse is ultimately flawed, and would require a lot more speech therapy and communication training, as well as rhetoric lessons, to control.

===Autism Tutorial===

{{Main|Autism Tutorial}}

Chris's Autism Tutorial is a good example of Chris lecturing a large group of people on a widespread mental disorder, but without researching the subject correctly or using effective techniques in his points, it also displays rage responses and insult responses, so you can get a wide range of these techniques. In most of this video series, Chris neglects to actually talk about Autism, its effects on one's cognitive functioning, how neurotypicals should treat people on the Autism Spectrum, and seldom gives appropriate or recommended advice. When he isn't telling parents of autistic children to mainstream their kids and [[Autism Tutorial Extra|irrationally hating]] on [[Asperger's syndrome|a part of the spectrum]], he is giving very incoherent and convoluted speeches. Here are just a few of his speeches he gives in the video series:

{{quotebox|Fellow autistic people! I encourage you to man and woman up [Subtitle: "It is Socializing In Real Life or Dust!"] respectively! Go out into the real world, and make real friends with full, great quality friendships! Do it now!}}

In this speech, Chris doesn't seem to account for people who are [[Slow-in-the-minds|much lower on the spectrum]] and therefore can't socialize with others like he demands them to. He also doesn’t seem to grasp the idea that all autistic people develop differently, hence why it is called a “spectrum” in the first place. Because of this, despite [[Chris and socialization|being somewhat incompetent at socializing himself]], he thinks that if he just acts as a role model and tells all autistic people to go out and just talk to people, their disorder will magically become manageable.

{{quotebox|I feel dislike towards you! For selfishly putting your ill name in association with autism! And with a name like Asperger! I feel it only makes us Autistic kind sound even worse! Aspergers. You shoulda left it as it was!. Autism is autism! And in your research, you linked it up with psychopaths! I feel even more offended at that! Now get out of my sight!}}

Due to his lack of research on Hans Aspergers' contribution to the understanding of autism, him twisting and cherrypicking what he did find out about Hans' research, and him failing to realize that Hans was autistic himself, Chris seems to view Hans as the culprit behind his and other autistics lack of appreciation from anyone, simply for naming a condition after himself and having it sounding like "[[McDonalds|Ass Burgers]]" in his juvenile mind, also somewhat failing to realize that Aspergers is only a part of the spectrum and not another name for it, and therefore takes great offense at it for no real reason.

===NO D*** WAY, IMPOSTOR!!!===

{{Main|NO D*** WAY, IMPOSTOR!!!}}

This public message from Chris is aimed primarily at Liquid Chris, but is also a message to the wider public and companies who Chris seems to think could stop Liquid from selling merchandise, when it's unlikely that they would even take his side. Chris employs a number of tendencies mentioned in this page throughout the video, but obviously, none more prevalent than threats and blind hatred.

Chris, notably, babbles and stutters a lot less when making this video than some of his more relaxed orations, but can have some serious problems when his mind wanders or has particular trouble with a sentence. A notable example of Chris having a stuttering problem is at the 0:46 section, where an attempt to use staccato-like phrasing to get across his point powerfully, it seems to backfire as he forgets which order the words are meant to be in:

{{quotebox|Stop - that - brown - striped - in - the... shirt... with the paper medallion!}}

====Threats and Ad Hominems====

Chris, throughout this video, is very impassioned and aroused, and is neither subtle nor eloquent, his performance style involves a lot of hand waving, raised voices and lots of threats and insults. Chris first makes the threat of suing Liquid, this is assuming that he has grounds to sue, and for that he would need more than the copyright registration of "electronic files" named Sonichu.<ref>[[Chris and copyright]]</ref> Other than the very empty threat of legal issues, Chris also makes a vary vague death threat, in the form of "DIE, YOU!" and also attempts to use black magic to put a curse on Liquid Chris.

It should come as no surprise that merely yelling "You are the IMPOSTER!" is not a valid argument, and is simply used as an intimidation tactic to get Liquid to voluntarily stop selling Sonichu merchandise, but Chris seems to believe that Liquid can and should go to jail for his actions. Although "DIE, YOU!" is technically a death threat, it is very unlikely that Chris will make an attempt on Liquid's life, and doesn't even seem to really be threatening to do so, just telling him to die is a little too vague.

====False Equivalencies====

Chris, in this oration, uses false equivalency liberally in his rhetoric, causing many confusing moments and points. The first being his copyright on Sonichu, which is not a trademark, is a grounds to sue Liquid. Admittedly, it is generally accepted that Chris is too [[naïve]] to realise that he has no legal grounds to make such a threat, but it is a false equivalency, nevertheless.

The second false equivalency is that Chris having sent Nintendo a letter and given them "over five thousand dollars" means that Nintendo know who Chris is and will be willing to stop Liquid from selling Sonichu merchandise.

The third false equivalency is that the true creator of Sonichu is the one with his address, his phone number, and his parents, this also counts as a circular argument, by the way, so that's a double logical fallacy.

The fourth is somewhat similar to the second, but Chris also claims that [[ego|the company of Nintendo had known him his whole lifetime]] because he bought stuff from them; Chris even claims that Nintendo would kick Liquid out!

The fifth false equivalency is that Liquid should have the police called on him by companies or his fanbase and thrown in jail to rot, even though it is very unlikely that Liquid would ever make enough money to get life in jail by selling Sonichu merchandise.

==Activism==

Being an opinionated and even confrontational person around the subjects that he is very passionate about, Chris has engaged in many campaigns on the many platforms that are available. Chris has been observed to conduct activism for a number of subjects, from local issues about saving McIntire Park,<ref>[[McIntire Park]]</ref> to international issues about Sonic's arm color.<ref>[[Sonic Boom Protests]]</ref> Chris is pro-active about protecting the things he loves (except [[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]<ref>[[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 7]]</ref>).

===Twitter campaigns===

Twitter is one of the many public platforms that Chris uses as his soapbox to speak to the world, the 280 character limit can't stop Chris, as he'll sometimes make a thread which is a longer speech, comprised of many linked tweets. These are used especially prevalently in his Twitter campaigns, in these, Chris will use his platform to deliver rhetorical pieces on certain issues he is rallying behind. These are mostly triggered by trolling, being blocked or because someone hasn't followed his orders, no matter if it's an individual, or a company.

====#HarassCWCDirectly====

[[File: PlanetDolanHarrassment.png|thumb]]

{{Main|HarassCWCdirectly}}

On 1 August, 2017, Chris made a post for National Girlfriend Day, where he gathered up all of the gal-pals he had made on Twitter. In this particular post, he tagged [[Planet Dolan]] voice actress and artist, [[DoopieDoOver]], whose Twitter posts Chris replied to on a regular basis. Doopie, seemingly unsettled by Chris's possible labelling of her as a gal-pal and using the pet name "Darling", made it clear to Chris that she is a stranger to him and that he should back off. Despite this obvious message, Chris took it as meaning that Doopie won't befriend Chris because of her influence with the trolls, rather than because of his somewhat antisocial behaviour. Chris then came to the conclusion that Doopie wanted to stay away from him because his trolls were supposedly harassing her and the rest of the Planet Dolan crew. Chris, upset that the trolls were supposedly trolling his new friend, created the hashtag campaigns "#HarassCWCDirectly" and "#Don'tHarassMe" the next day to direct all of the trolls that were trolling Doopie to him, and even made a video scolding the trolls for harassing other people for their enjoyment. Because of Doopie eventually blocking him, Chris retired the hashtag on 4 August, 2017.

====#BlockTheTrolls====

{{main|BlockTheTrolls}}

On 28 August, 2017, after being stressed out by his conversation with [[LadyOfTheCosmo]], Chris, [[Chris and kindness|thinking he is no way responsible for the bad things that happen to him]], made a post regarding how the trolls have recently made him "feel off". After making this post, he made a long-winded speech about how good should rule over the evil that is the trolls. He eventually followed the Twitter Hashtag #BlockTheTrolls.

His arguments mostly consisted of false equivalencies, he compared himself to a hero defending the Twitter user he liked, attempting to invoke emotion by naming heroes like Sailor Moon and Optimus Prime.<ref name="bttc">[[BlockTheTrolls#Campaign]]</ref> In reality, Chris was more like an affectionate and enthusiastic dog with fleas coming into someones house, and getting very confused and angry when he was thrown out. Chris is confused about why he would be rejected, when the person could just comb all the fleas out, but the fleas reproduce and get everywhere, and Chris simply isn't worth keeping. This gaping flaw in his argument causes the speech to fall flat, resulting in 80% of people voting in a poll he made, that it was the correct choice to just block Chris, as it is easier.<ref name="bttc"></ref>

====My Little Pony Protests====

{{main|My Little Pony Protests}}

On 13 August 2018, after Hasbro announced that their popular children's show, [[My Little Pony]], would end their fourth generation TV show, Friendship is Magic, and proceed onto a fifth generation, Chris, believing that he had [[Chris and reality|prophesied]] that there would be five more seasons of FIM, started protesting against it. His rhetoric here is frankly awful, not only is he appealing to authority, but he's appealing to HIS OWN authority, as a [[CPU]] and also an all powerful goddess. However, Chris thought that this was a very good argument, and it would be if he actually was an all powerful being, but unfortunately Hasbro has yet to respond to this protest.

Some examples of poor rhetoric include:

{{quotebox|I have seen a future that we must prevent: My Little Pony Generation Five.}}

Nobody will take this level of reasoning seriously

{{quotebox|I just did a reset to prevent that from happening.}}

You are unable to rewrite the canon of a TV show by saying something, and it is frankly ridiculous that Chris thinks that he should have this level of power in his fictional universe.

{{quotebox|CPU Blue Heart Commands it so as well, in agreement with Princess Celestia.}}

Appeal to the authority of an OC and a character that Hasbro created, neither of whom exist.

{{quotebox|Reboots HURT the original very bad. Reboots stunts Growth of the Original.}}

More baseless and factually incorrect information, note that Chris uses the words hurt and growth here in the sense of affecting a living being, not just that reboots of shows make the original worse.

Chris often mentions that Equestria will be damaged or hurt, and he wants G4 to continue for it's safety, but it is a very poor veil hiding his true desire: to not have anything change about Equestria, since it undermines his delusional views on how [[C-197]] and fictional characters work.

===Facebook Campaigns===

Before Chris started using Twitter as his main platform, Chris used [[Facebook]] as his public platform, in the months and years after he stopped making YouTube videos as much when [[Bob]] died. Chris, using this platform, started a few campaigns about the things he was very concerned with at this time in his life, in the early [[tomgirl]] stages.

====Sonic Boom Protests====

{{main|Sonic Boom Protests}}

In late [[2014]], it was revealed that the latest iteration of [[Sonic]]: Sonic Boom, would depict Sonic as having blue arms, as opposed to the usual tan color, which was integral to Sonic's iconic design. Despite the non-canon nature of this game and series, Chris took serious issue with the nature of the redesign. Chris [[Death threats|wrote letters]] and took [[26 December 2014|physical action]] during his campaign, but also conducted a campaign on Facebook.

In his speeches, Chris will often use CAPITAL LETTERS to portray shouting, these parts are often where he is at his most rhetorically inept. For example, this is an example of why Chris says [[Sega]] should waste lots of money on a recall of the whole Sonic Boom franchise:

{{quotebox|SONIC'S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE, AND THEY SERIOUSLY CAUSE SENSORY OVERLOADS IN ME!!!}}

Chris calls for boycotts and mass calling campaigns among the masses to get Sega to recall the franchise, and if you're not sure whether or not Chris is calling for this, and expects Sega to comply explicitly because he doesn't like it, this is what he recommends people say:

{{quotebox|The very sight of Sonic's Blue Arms makes our ally, Christian Weston Chandler of Ruckersville, VA, suffer from consistent Sensory Overloads. Upon seeing them, his brain immediately shuts down into a momentary to lengthy (depending on how long he is forced to displeasingly endure the horrific sight) state of mental paralysis.}}

Yes, Chris thought and expected that everyone was angry about the color of Sonic's arm because specifically he didn't like it. It doesn't seem to matter to him whether other people like it or not, and this has an extremely negative effect on his rhetoric and ability to communicate. This position of severe [[narcissism]] often alienates Chris's audience in his speeches, this and Chris's tendency to issue death threats eventually caused him to be thrown out of his own Facebook group.<ref>[[Keep_Sonic_Original#Chris_is_kicked_out|Chris is kicked out]]</ref> After starting a new Facebook group, these alienating and polarising speeches further caused Chris to be pushed back by those who agreed that Sonic's arms should stay tan, eventually calling the campaign a "success" when in the next Sonic game, his arms went back to tan, despite this not being the goal of the campaign.

====Brassieres For Males====

{{main|Brassieres For Males}}

In mid to late [[2013]], Chris created a Facebook page on which to campaign about making brassieres socially acceptable and encouraged for men to wear. Chris, while not really giving a very good reason for wanting to do so, does however show his best display of rhetoric throughout his campaigns, presumably due to the help of somebody else. His reasoning and thought processes are well set out and developed, thanks to the page's administrators, who were helping Chris's arguments become more well put.

For example, the original about page was very well considered and offered many convincing reasons that it should be socially acceptable, such as:

{{quotebox|--Sports bras prevent the chafing commonly experienced by joggers.

--Bras can provide support and relief for the wearer's chest and back.

--Some conditions cause males to develop larger breasts, which is often a cause of embarrassment. Bras designed for males (or sports bras in the appropriate size) can flatten or lessen the appearance of male breasts and help the wearer feel more confident. (Many males wear undershirts to accomplish this purpose, often with sub-optimal results.)

--Some males enjoy wearing brassieres as an expression of gender or sexual identity. Though this is a valid use, it is not the focus of this page.

--Anyone who wants to wear a bra, for whatever reason, should be free to do so!}}

This very well thought out and thought provoking set of reasons was almost certainly not said by Chris, but it is a good backdrop, on which to contrast the direction in which Chris takes the page once the administrators stop controlling him as much and Chris uses some of his fallacies and confusing diction. For instance this quote, which is extremely bewildering:

{{quotebox|Ryan Gosling wears a man bra. Okay so maybe he doesn't. BUT WE CAN'T KNOW FOR SURE}}

Rather than appealing to people that social acceptance of men wearing bras is a good thing, he's merely asserting that it is socially acceptable already by appealing to authority, and then suggesting that we can't know for sure means we should consider it as acceptable already. That's three fallacies in a very short passage.

In late [[2014]], when the page was picked back up by Chris after a long hiatus, Chris didn't have the administrators to help him at all, and so quickly devolved into something vastly different, and didn't last very long, proving that the campaign was really over by this point. He came out as transsexual and told men they should wear skirts as well as bras, these arguments weren't quite as well formulated.

==In the comic==

[[File:SchuComic8P30.jpg|200 px|thumbnail|Apparently, drawing a pickle on a fictional female character is a form of treason.]]

At some points in the [[Sonichu (comic)|comics]], many of the characters will give a speech regarding their opinions on the current situation. Other times, Chris will use these same comics to write speeches of his own. The comics turn out to be a very good source for learning about Chris's orating skills. Chris often displays many of the rhetorical devices outlined in this page, favouring distortions of reality that suggest that people he doesn't like are worse than they really are, and that he is more virtuous than he actually is. He uses a lot of ad hominems, which merely serve to make Chris appear to be a more vindictive and egotistical character than he would like his readers to believe.

For example, towards the end of [[Sonichu_8#Episode_17:_.22Rage_Against_the_Garbage.22|Episode 17]] in [[Sonichu 8]], [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] gives a speech about how [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] is not only triggering Chris by giving [[Rosechu]] a [[pickle]], but how doing so somehow also drags both his and other United States citizens through the mud, even though Rosechu is not a political figure. This is an example of Chris using [[Wikipedia:False equivalence|False equivalence]] to put the point across that it is immoral and illegal to portray Rosechu in this way. Chris also uses a rhetorical question which uses heavy extrapolation to imply that disagree with him is a dishonor to the country. Chris is also using a false appeal to patriotism, because drawing art of a fictional character has no bearing on the United States, and his attempt to suggest it does is disingenuous.

Chris occasionally will lose focus and go off on a quite drastic, jarring tangent, by providing extensive exposition about something.<ref>[[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|Such as this page]] where Jamsta tells us way too much about [[CWCville]].</ref> This really ruins the flow of his speeches, and makes the point less poignant and [[punchy]]. Ultimately, pacing suffers a lot in the speeches of Sonichu due to these errors.

Jason Kendrick Howell message

2023-04-11T13:39:24Z

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* Alternative transcriptions */

[[File:SonichuBreakYouDead.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], reenacting this glorious moment.]]
The '''Jason Kendrick Howell voicemail message''' was [[Chris]]'s infantile-yet-laconic threat to [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] after the hacking of [[CWC's Sonichu Site!|Sonichu.net]] in [[January 2009]]. Howell actually had nothing to do with the site's demise; the true mastermind behind it was [[Clyde Cash|someone far more nefarious]].

==Context==
On 6 January 2009, [[Gregg Mays E-mails|Gregg Mays contacted Chris]], claiming to be an employee of [[Nintendo]]. Mays said he had been assigned to redesign Sonichu.net as part of the cross-promotion of Sonichu and [[Animal Crossing]].

However, "Gregg" was really Clyde Cash in disguise, seeking vengeance for the suicide of his [[Ryan Cash|little brother]] a few weeks earlier. By 8 January, Chris entrusted Clyde with the password to the site, and in no time at all the site was vandalized. Unable to access the site to restore it, Chris accused "Gregg" of being a troll and changing the password to lock him out of his Tripod account. Clyde claimed he couldn't access the site either, and suggested that he could restore it if Chris reset the password to his account. Chris complied on 10 January, and soon the account was deleted altogether.

On the 12th, Clyde then declared that he was Jason Kendrick Howell, the creator of Chris's page on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]. After taunting Chris and demanding he make videos for his amusement, Cash finally changed his mind on [[Gregg Mays E-mails#January 17, 2009|17 January]], and admitted that he was in fact Clyde Cash all along, and not Jason Kendrick Howell.

Apparently, Chris did not see the second revelation message, thinking it was Jason falsely using another alias. After all, Chris had long considered Howell to be the mastermind behind all of the trolls, while Clyde was then new to the scene.

Chris proceeded to send the ''real'' Jason an angry voice mail, and gloated about this in response to a bewildered Clyde. Unaware of any of this, the real Jason checked his phone messages, and this is what he got...

==The Message==

''Answering Machine:'' First saved message.

Jason Kendrick Howell...you BASTARD! 
''BASTARD!'' 
You hacked into everything! You have driven me so [[Chris and English|beyond]] the wall, I can't even DESCRIBE it! 
YOU'RE LAUGHING NOW, BUT... 
{{RageQuote|I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD!}}
Goodbye!

==Alternative transcriptions==
[[Image:ILLBREAKYOUDEAD.jpg|thumb|Original e-mail with text of Chris's threat to Jason]]

There is some debate over whether Chris is actually saying "''I pray'' you dead" or "''I'll break'' you dead". Many opt for the latter, because the image of Chris going into [[Chris and anger|tard rage]] mode and snapping Jason in half ([[Sign Destruction Video|or rather clumsily attempting to]]) is quite amusing. Jason himself originally transcribed the message with Chris saying "YOU HAPPY [[Dragon Ball|NAPPA]] (?!? no idea)", rather than "You're laughing now" (or is it "You're laughing dammit"?). Given his history of [[Speech impediment|communications]] [[Chris and oratory|problems]], even Chris himself may have had no idea what he was trying to say.

==Legacy==

Chris would attempt to re-establish his Sonichu website several times, only to be hacked and vandalized as before. In time, Chris would view Clyde Cash as the leader of the trolls, shifting his ire away from Jason. Throughout 2009, Chris would produce numerous videos directed at Clyde, threatening him, pleading with him, or challenging him.

The rage expressed in the message would become a familiar refrain in later sagas, as Chris would often cap off a round of trolling by screaming at his camera and uploading the footage to [[YouTube]].

The MovingFoward videos

[[File:Cwcps3.jpg|thumb|[[Sonichu 6#Episode 12.5: "One Lucky Dog"|One lucky console]]]]

The '''MovingFoward videos''' are a compilation of three leaked videos ('''MovingFoward''' [sic], '''MovingFurtherFoward''' [sic], '''100_2209.MOV''') where [[Chris]] physically destroys his [[PS3]]. Having first followed [[Stardate, August 27, 2010|good hard drive disposal practice]], Chris says a few choice words before destroying the console with a brick, [[Son-Chu|his car]], and some scissors. Some photographs of the console in various states of destruction were also leaked.

Chris says that after smashing his console and driving over it with his car, he plugged it in again, apparently to prove that it would no longer function. He seems to have been unaware of the danger of [[Destruction Of Chris's House|fire]] or [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon|electric]] shock involved (or perhaps, in his despondent state, he simply didn't care).

Many [[trolls]] had come up with theories as to why Chris smashed his beloved Life Upgrade. Eventually, it was revealed in a [[Clyde and Tito PS3 E-mails|communication between Chris and some high-profile trolls]] that Chris wanted to claim a very large monetary reward for its destruction. To no one's surprise, there was never any actual monetary prize for such an act especially because it was Chris himself who had done it.

Interesting to note here is that, like the snake he tried to run over, the cardboard box and the [[Clown Doll]], it takes Chris three tries AND [[ItIsFinished.MOV|a coup de grace the next day]] just to [[I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD|break his PS3 dead]].

{{quote|Vessel of my loneliness for the past three years of anguish. I bid you... fond... faredieu.}}

== Transcript ==

===Part one (MovingForward)===

[''An opening title card appears, which reads "MovingForward." We fade to Chris, who is standing around outside and shakily filming himself with a handheld camera.'']

Saturday, August 28, 2010.

[''Chris removes his [[glasses]].'']

I make this video... as a tribute... to [[Gal-pal|what I have lost]]. But also from which I have lost, I have [[Hair|lost something that was of important value]], but I am able to let go. It is the [[Song of Christian|spirit of myself... of which was very lonely]]. But now move on, to a [[Video games|much brighter future]]. And now for the... feature presentation. On this video. What you are about to see is [[April 16 Fetish Vids|uncensored and unedited]].

[''He moves the camera to show his PS3, which has a case cover plastered in artwork of himself and [[Sonichu]].'']

My PlayStation 3, here in the backyard.

[''He opens the access port to show the hard drive.'']

The hard drive still in there. [''pause''] Formatted as it was. And for a memento... I'm keeping the cover.

[''He removes the case cover, complete with the original [[Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles]] drawing, and puts it to one side. Then he focuses the camera on himself again.'']

Again, it's very- this- this is [[CWCFlyingElephants|very graphic]], so if you are weak in the stomach, especially as a gamer, look away, and I mean no [[Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown|disrespect to Sony Computer Entertainment America]]. Maker of the fine product.

[''Chris mumbles something unintelligible amid the noise of moving the camera. He then sets the camera down so it is focused on his PS3, which is sitting on top of a microwave that has been put on its side. He then puts on a pair of work gloves and picks up a piece of landscaping brick while an airliner flies overhead, somewhat drowning out the first half of Chris's next sentence.'']

Vessel of my loneliness for the past three years of anguish. [[Chris and English|I bid you... fond... faredoo.]] Adieu. Fond fareweeeeell adieu.

[''Chris uses the brick to bash his PS3 for the better part of a minute, never raising the brick over his head and only cracking the outer case. [[Chris and health|He pauses a few times to catch his breath]]. After a time, he moves back over to the camera.'']

[[Chris and reality|Crushed. Unplayable.]] The deed is done.

===Part two (MovingFurtherForward)===

[''Cut to a second title card, "MovingFurtherForward." It is nighttime - barely anything is visible. The camera is looking at Chris's driveway, in front of his (running) car. The headlights allow us to see Chris place the PS3 in front of the left front wheel of Son-Chu. He gets in the car, backs up, and pulls forward, running over the PS3. After a long pause, during which a loud thumping sound is heard and a dog starts to bark, he backs up over it and pulls forward over it again. Chris moves over to the camera again and points it at something, presumably the PS3.'']

Well, you get the idea, anyway. It's useless! Broken!

===Part three (REALLYMovingForward)===

[''Cut to a third title card, "'100_2209.MOV' (A.K.A. 'REALLYMovingForward')." We are in Chris's bedroom. The camera shows us the wreckage of his PS3, very much the worse for wear. In addition to beating the hell out of it, he appears to have cracked the case and broken it down to its component parts, which he shows us by panning the camera around. Chris's speech appears to be [[Alcohol|slurred slightly]].'']

[''sighs''] Well, I [[6 June 2010|run it over with a car]] and smashed it with a brick. Ugh. I thought I hit it on the metal part and the heavy plastic, but still, when I look at- still, when I plugged it in, it did not turn on. Actually, it went into standby mode, but that's all- as far as it went. That's all it went. So right now I'm gonna finish the job. Finish the job.

[''Chris sets down the camera to show himself and the PS3 parts. He then picks up a pair of scissors, which he uses to stab repeatedly at bits of his former console. Partway through the stab-fest, he unfolds the scissors and goes at it two-fisted. Wearing out after about 45 seconds, he folds up his scissors and sifts through the debris.'']

[[Duck|Look at that bend.]] Broke a whole buncha stuff on it. Now you tell me... it's still good! It ain't now!

[''Chris stands up and the video cuts off.'']

== Destruction gallery ==

In addition to the poor quality video footage of the PS3's destruction, numerous photographs of the before and after have been leaked:

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* SleepyCabin */

This page lists various vlogs and podcasts which mention Chris and Sonichu.

==List==
===''Honest Game Trailers''===
Three minutes into the video, Chris is brought up as an example of the horrors of the [[Sonic]] fandom, particularly showcasing [[Warning - Naughty Women ;)]]. Less than a minute later, Sonic is jokingly referred to as Sonichu.

===Harry Partridge===
[[Image:HappyHarryRosechu.jpg|thumb|125px|"Actually, it is excellent; I would not change a thing about it." -Chris, [[Mailbag 9]]]]
Animator [[Wikipedia:Harry Partridge|Harry Partridge]] (best known for his [[parody|slanderous mockery]] [[Wikipedia:Saturday Morning Watchmen|Saturday Morning ''Watchmen'']]) has made several references to Chris and Sonichu, the first of which is a drawing of [[Rosechu]] uploaded to Newgrounds.<ref>[http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/happyharry/rosechu ]</ref> An animated version of Chris appears briefly in the animated cartoon short "Nicolas Cage Wants Cake", a musical remix of a scene from ''[[Family Guy|The Family Man]]''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PJddmfesaA]</ref> In the animated short "Skyrim", [[Son-Chu]]'s "SONICHU" license plate can be seen in the background during the first scene.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9eGtyqz4gY]</ref> In the Followup, "Song of Skyrim", Chris makes a brief cameo in the crowd <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsqiSknjHK8]</ref>

Harry himself has commented on [[TheCWCvilleLibrary]]'s upload of the [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] song "[[I'll Never Leave You, Ivy]]", jokingly stating "I want this played at my funeral."

When interviewing Harry Partridge on Animation Aficionados, the hosts asked Harry about Chris's cameos in some of his videos (from 0:19:43). The discussion the hosts have with Harry about Chris is quite lengthy, during which Mr. Partridge admits that he is "obsessed with him":<ref>[http://animationaficionados.com/2011/08/23/episode-35-harry-partridge/]</ref>

{{Quote|1=I really am obsessed with him... I check [[CWCki|''Sonichu.com'']], the wiki about Chris-chan and his weird life, if not daily, every couple of hours... there must be more written about Chris-chan than George Washington. |2=Harry Partridge|3=}}

During an episode of SleepyCabin, it was revealed that Harry actually contacted Chris to ask him if he wanted to work on a game together, in which Chris declined saying that Harry's animation style wasn't that good at all, despite many considering Harry to be one of the best animators online. The reason why he wanted to work on a game with Chris is unknown to this day, whether it be for trolling or because he actually wanted to.

===''Atop the Fourth Wall''===
Comic book reviewer Lewis [[Sonichu & Rosechu… The Genesis of the Lovehogs|Lovhaug]] (a.k.a. "Linkara") goes on a brief tirade in his 99th video "Top 15 Things I Will Never Review" about ''Sonichu'' on the subject of webcomics at the 24-minute mark.<ref>[http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/2010/09/top-15-comics-ill-never-review.html]</ref>

{{Infobox/video

{{quote|"But wait!" the internet cried back, "let me tell you about the horror that is called Sonichu!" Yes people, I have heard of Sonichu. I really wish I ''hadn't'' heard of Sonichu. I would be a much happier man if I hadn't.|Linkara, speaking for everyone who has ever become aware of Sonichu.}}

While he'd previously made the point that he wouldn't review webcomics in general, Linkara didn't want to review ''Sonichu'' in particular because he didn't want to acknowledge it further. He describes Chris as a "[[The Tale of the Crazy Pacer|creepy stalker]]". Towards the end of the episode, a character tries to pressure Linkara into reviewing ''Sonichu'' before Linkara settles on reviewing a ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' comic for his 100th episode. At the end of the video, he uses "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Do I Creep You Out?" as the credits music, a possible jab at Chris.

{{quote|Wait a minute, did he just say he recycles his...HOLY SHIT! Oh, that is some NASTY shit, oh, oh GOD!|Ray, representing pretty much anybody who saw the video for the first time}}

In an early episode of ''=3'' (pronounced "equals three"), vlogger Ray William Johnson made fun of Chris's habit of [[recycling]] his [[navy]]. Though he never gave Chris's name, referring to him rather inaccurately as "your average ''[[Captain's Log|Star Trek]]'' fan", he did provide a link to Chris's old channel. Jump to 2:09 in the linked video.

===BlackBusterCritic===
Chris has been on the BlackBusterCritic's Sonic Brainfart's videos where BBC highlights the points of Chris' wrongdoings. Jamin also has a part two of the series, but it is unknown what happened to it.

===Bruva Alfabusa===
Alfabusa is a YouTuber well-known for his ''Warhammer 40,000''-themed videos and the "If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device" series. In the 11th episode of the series, towards the end, the God Emperor of Mankind implied how he lived one of his past lives as Chris.

That plan was genius. Too bad people were too fucking stupid to find the enlightening messages hidden in all those [[List of Videos|holo-recordings]] I made."| The God Emperor of Mankind, reflecting on his actions during his life as the manchild we know today}}

===Filthy Frank===
On October 8, 2014, popular YouTuber Filthy Frank uploaded a video deriding [[anime|weeaboos]], using an image of Chris as an example in his song about them; he can be seen at 10:08 in the video.

===SleepyCabin===
Sleepycast is a podcast hosted by many famous internet animators, including OneyNG, Psychicpebbles, Stamper and Spazkid.

On 14 December 2014, Spazkid, creator of ''[[Sonichu the Animated Series]]'', described his fascination with Chris, how he began trolling in 2007, and why he ultimately regrets doing it. Despite this, he doesn't hesitate in calling Chris a retard and being aware that Chris is still a despicable human being.

{{quote|Chris-Chan is—he’s an enigma which to so many people—they thought he was a troll. Because they’re like “there’s no way this motherfucker is real” because he’s like the most saddest human being ever. And it’s SAD because… I spent four years of my life fucking with him, and people are like “bring it back!” And I’m like, “NO! LET IT DIE.” It’s like depressing—it’s not the golden age—it’s the depressing age.|Spazkid, rebuking the weens.}}

In another podcast they made, they all got into a heated argument when Spazkid said that he believed that Chris-Chan at least ''tries'' to make decent content with a huge majority of the podcast members completely disagreeing with him.

They occasionally reference him sometimes in other episodes.

Interestingly, the Sleepycast members reveal that [[Harry Partridge]] once contacted Chris about developing a game with him. Apparently, Chris turned Harry down because he thought he wasn't a talented enough animator. Jump to 1:43:25 in the link.

===Radio Dead Air===
{{main|WTFIWWY Segment}}

On the 29 December, 2014 edition of his ''What the Fuck is Wrong with You?'' podcast, Radio Dead Air (and Channel Awesome) star Nash and his co-star Tara discussed the 26 December 2014 incident. Until this point, Nash had shed away from discussing Chris for much the same reason as Linkara, but decided he had to discuss it to the overwhelming volume of attention and e-mail the incident generated, along with the utter insanity displayed by Chris.<ref>[http://channelawesome.com/wtfiwwy-live-the-passion-of-the-chris-chan/ WTFIWWY Live: The Passion of the Chris Chan]</ref>

On 2 January 2015, ReviewTechUSA made a video about the 26 December 2014 incident.

===The Mysterious Mr. Enter===
Animation reviewer The Mysterious Mr. Enter made a slight nudge at Chris while preparing to rant about the infamous "I Am Autism" commercial from [[wikipedia:Autism Speaks|Autism Speaks]] (one of many reasons why the organization is disliked among the autism community), saying that it "makes autistic people look worse than...I dunno, Chris-Chan does." Jump to 2:15 in the linked video--and by the way, that is a microphone, not a giant Icee cup. He also mentioned [[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]] near the end of his review of 12-oz. Mouse.

{{quote|Ross: "You'll be like Sonichu- the electric hedgehog Pokémon."

In an episode of ''Steam Train'', Suzy walks in mid-recording to quietly grab a blanket. Ross and Dan draw attention to her anyway, and they warn her the blanket is full of static electricity and it may just make her like Sonichu, to which Suzy is less than enthusiastic about. Jump to 6:00 for the whole conversation.

Chris appears at 1:13 where the song mocks him for disliking the blarms. Of note is that [[Wikipedia:Mike Pollock|Mike Pollock]], the TRUE and HONEST English voice actor for [[Doctor Robotnik|Dr. Eggman]], has commented on the video and given it his approval, meaning yet another of Chris's heroes is at least tangentially aware of his existence.

===Larry Bundy Jr.===
Chris made a cameo appearance in the "''Apaches''" episode of ''Films Yanks Can't Wank'', during a mention of [[Jimmy Hill]]. Jump to 1:55 in the linked video.

===Your Movie Sucks===
33 seconds into YMS's review of ''Cyberbully'', the infamous picture of Chris wearing Barb's bra and panties is shown when Adam says "You can control what you post." The photo was actually leaked, but the point still stands given that one can control what pictures they take of themselves.

===OneyPlays===
OneyPlays is a gaming channel on YouTube run by popular animator Chris O'Neil, better known as "Oney" or "OneyNG."

In their playthrough of ''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'', they came up with a humorous scenario where Chris replaces the title character as the main protagonist of ''[[Harry Potter]]''. They further mentioned that their favorite video of Chris is [[THAT IS MY HOUSE]]. Among the three, Julian seems to be, at the very least, the most respectful toward Chris Chan, this is seen when he became somewhat upset when Oney called Chris Chan a retard in the F-Zero playthrough, and also in their Sonic Adventure playthrough, when Ding Dong joked about Chris Chan committing suicide by electrocuting himself with an Xbox, though despite all this, he does always end up laughing.

When interviewing Harry Partridge on Animation Aficionados, the hosts asked Harry about Chris's cameos in some of his videos (from 0:19:43). The discussion the hosts have with Harry about Chris is quite lengthy, during which Mr. Partridge admits that he is "obsessed with him":<ref>[http://animationaficionados.com/2011/08/23/episode-35-harry-partridge/]</ref>

{{Quote|1=I really am obsessed with him... I check [[CWCki|''Sonichu.com'']], the wiki about Chris-chan and his weird life, if not daily, every couple of hours... there must be more written about Chris-chan than George Washington. |2=Harry Partridge|3=}}

During an episode of SleepyCabin, it was revealed that Harry actually contacted Chris to ask him if he wanted to work on a game together, in which Chris declined saying that Harry's animation style wasn't that good at all, despite many considering Harry to be one of the best animators online. The reason why he wanted to work on a game with Chris is unknown to this day, whether it be for trolling or because he actually wanted to.

===''Atop the Fourth Wall''===
Comic book reviewer Lewis [[Sonichu & Rosechu… The Genesis of the Lovehogs|Lovhaug]] (a.k.a. "Linkara") goes on a brief tirade in his 99th video "Top 15 Things I Will Never Review" about ''Sonichu'' on the subject of webcomics at the 24-minute mark.<ref>[http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/2010/09/top-15-comics-ill-never-review.html]</ref>

I would be a much happier man if I hadn't.|Linkara, speaking for everyone who has ever become aware of Sonichu.}}

While he'd previously made the point that he wouldn't review webcomics in general, Linkara didn't want to review ''Sonichu'' in particular because he didn't want to acknowledge it further. He describes Chris as a "[[The Tale of the Crazy Pacer|creepy stalker]]". Towards the end of the episode, a character tries to pressure Linkara into reviewing ''Sonichu'' before Linkara settles on reviewing a ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' comic for his 100th episode. At the end of the video, he uses "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Do I Creep You Out?" as the credits music, a possible jab at Chris.

In an early episode of ''=3'' (pronounced "equals three"), vlogger Ray William Johnson made fun of Chris's habit of [[recycling]] his [[navy]]. Though he never gave Chris's name, referring to him rather inaccurately as "your average ''[[Captain's Log|Star Trek]]'' fan", he did provide a link to Chris's old channel. Jump to 2:09 in the linked video.

===BlackBusterCritic===
Chris has been on the BlackBusterCritic's Sonic Brainfart's videos where BBC highlights the points of Chris' wrongdoings. Jamin also has a part two of the series, but it is unknown what happened to it.

===SleepyCabin===
Sleepycast is a podcast hosted by many famous internet animators, including OneyNG, Psychicpebbles, Stamper and Spazkid.

On 14 December 2014, Spazkid, creator of ''[[Sonichu the Animated Series]]'', described his fascination with Chris, how he began trolling in 2007, and why he ultimately regrets doing it. Despite this, he doesn't hesitate in calling him a retard and being aware that Chris is still a despicable human being.

{{quote|Chris-Chan is—he’s an enigma which to so many people—they thought he was a troll. Because they’re like “there’s no way this motherfucker is real” because he’s like the most saddest human being ever. And it’s SAD because… I spent four years of my life fucking with him, and people are like “bring it back!” And I’m like, “NO! LET IT DIE.” It’s like depressing—it’s not the golden age—it’s the depressing age.|Spazkid, rebuking the weens.}}

In another podcast they made, they all got into a heated argument when Spazkid said that he believed that Chris-Chan at least ''tries'' to make decent content with a huge majority of the podcast members completely disagreeing with him.

They occasionally reference him sometimes in other episodes.

Interestingly, the Sleepycast members reveal that [[Harry Partridge]] once contacted Chris about developing a game with him. Apparently, Chris turned Harry down because he thought he wasn't a talented enough animator. Jump to 1:43:25 in the link.

Animation reviewer The Mysterious Mr. Enter made a slight nudge at Chris while preparing to rant about the infamous "I Am Autism" commercial from [[wikipedia:Autism Speaks|Autism Speaks]] (one of many reasons why the organization is disliked among the autism community), saying that it "makes autistic people look worse than...I dunno, Chris-Chan does."

OneyPlays is a gaming channel on YouTube run by popular animator Chris O'Neil, better known as "Oney" or "OneyNG." He and his friends Ding Dong and Julian (as well as other later frequent members of the show) occasionally reference Chris in their banter. In their playthrough of ''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'', they came up with a humorous scenario where Chris replaces the title character as the main protagonist of ''[[Harry Potter]]''. They further mentioned that their favorite video of Chris is [[THAT IS MY HOUSE]]. Among the three, Julian seems to be, at the very least, the most respectful toward Chris Chan, this is seen when he became somewhat upset when Oney called Chris Chan a retard in the F-Zero playthrough, and also in their Sonic Adventure playthrough, when Ding Dong joked about Chris Chan committing suicide by electrocuting himself with an Xbox, though despite all this, he does always end up laughing.

[[Image:HappyHarryRosechu.jpg|thumb|125px|"Actually, it is excellent; I would not change a thing about it." -Chris, [[Mailbag 9]]]]
Animator [[Wikipedia:Harry Partridge|Harry Partridge]] (best known for his [[parody|slanderous mockery]] [[Wikipedia:Saturday Morning Watchmen|Saturday Morning ''Watchmen'']]) has made several references to Chris and Sonichu, the first of which is a drawing of [[Rosechu]] uploaded to Newgrounds.<ref>[http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/happyharry/rosechu ]</ref> An animated version of Chris appears briefly in the animated cartoon short "Nicolas Cage Wants Cake", a musical remix of a scene from ''[[Family Guy|The Family Man]]''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PJddmfesaA]</ref> In the animated short "Skyrim", [[Son-Chu]]'s "SONICHU" license plate can be seen in the background during the first scene.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9eGtyqz4gY]</ref> In the Followup, "Song of Skyrim", Chris makes a brief cameo in the crowd <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsqiSknjHK8]</ref>

Harry himself has commented on [[TheCWCvilleLibrary]]'s upload of the [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] song "[[I'll Never Leave You, Ivy]]", jokingly stating "I want this played at my funeral."

When interviewing Harry Partridge on Animation Aficionados, the hosts asked Harry about Chris's cameos in some of his videos (from 0:19:43). The discussion the hosts have with Harry about Chris is quite lengthy, during which Mr. Partridge admits that he is "obsessed with him":<ref>[http://animationaficionados.com/2011/08/23/episode-35-harry-partridge/]</ref>

During an episode of SleepyCabin, it was revealed that Harry actually contacted Chris to ask him if he wanted to work on a game together, in which Chris declined saying that Harry's animation style wasn't that good at all, despite many considering Harry to be one of the best animators online. The reason why he wanted to work on a game with Chris is unknown to this day, whether it be for trolling or because he actually wanted to.

===''Atop the Fourth Wall''===
Comic book reviewer Lewis [[Sonichu & Rosechu… The Genesis of the Lovehogs|Lovhaug]] (a.k.a.

While he'd previously made the point that he wouldn't review webcomics in general, Linkara didn't want to review ''Sonichu'' in particular because he didn't want to acknowledge it further. He describes Chris as a "[[The Tale of the Crazy Pacer|creepy stalker]]". Towards the end of the episode, a character tries to pressure Linkara into reviewing ''Sonichu'' before Linkara settles on reviewing a ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' comic for his 100th episode. At the end of the video, he uses "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Do I Creep You Out?" as the credits music, a possible jab at Chris.

In an early episode of ''=3'' (pronounced "equals three"), vlogger Ray William Johnson made fun of Chris's habit of [[recycling]] his [[navy]]. Though he never gave Chris's name, referring to him rather inaccurately as "your average ''[[Captain's Log|Star Trek]]'' fan", he did provide a link to Chris's old channel.

===BlackBusterCritic===
Chris has been on the BlackBusterCritic's Sonic Brainfart's videos where BBC highlights the points of Chris' wrongdoings. Jamin also has a part two of the series, but it is unknown what happened to it.

===SleepyCabin===
Sleepycast is a podcast hosted by many famous internet animators, including OneyNG, Psychicpebbles, Stamper and Spazkid.

On 14 December 2014, Spazkid, creator of ''[[Sonichu the Animated Series]]'', described his fascination with Chris, how he began trolling in 2007 and why he ultimately regrets doing it, even though he doesn't hesitate in calling him a retard and being aware that Chris is still a despicable human being.

{{quote|Chris-Chan is—he’s an enigma which to so many people—they thought he was a troll. Because they’re like “there’s no way this motherfucker is real” because he’s like the most saddest human being ever. And it’s SAD because… I spent four years of my life fucking with him, and people are like “bring it back!” And I’m like, “NO! LET IT DIE.” It’s like depressing—it’s not the golden age—it’s the depressing age.|Spazkid, rebuking the weens.}}

In another podcast they made, they all got into a heated argument when Spazkid said that he believed that Chris-Chan at least ''tries'' to make decent content with a huge majority of the podcast members completely disagreeing with him.

They occasionally reference him sometimes in other episodes.

Interestingly, the Sleepycast members reveal that [[Harry Partridge]] once contacted Chris about developing a game with him. Apparently, Chris turned Harry down because he thought he wasn't a talented enough animator. Jump to 1:43:25 in the link.

In their playthrough of ''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'', they came up with a humorous scenario where Chris replaces the title character as the main protagonist of ''[[Harry Potter]]''. They further mentioned that their favorite video of Chris is [[THAT IS MY HOUSE]]. Among the three, Julian seems to be, at the very least, the most respectful toward Chris Chan, this is seen when he became somewhat upset when Oney called Chris Chan a retard in the F-Zero playthrough, and also in their Sonic Adventure playthrough, when Ding Dong joked about Chris Chan committing suicide by electrocuting himself with an Xbox, though despite all this, he does always end up laughing.

Animator [[Wikipedia:Harry Partridge|Harry Partridge]] (best known for his [[parody|slanderous mockery]] [[Wikipedia:Saturday Morning Watchmen|Saturday Morning ''Watchmen'']]) has made several references to Chris and Sonichu, the first of which is a drawing of [[Rosechu]] uploaded to Newgrounds.<ref>[http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/happyharry/rosechu ]</ref> An animated version of Chris appears briefly in the animated cartoon short "Nicolas Cage Wants Cake", a musical remix of a scene from ''[[Family Guy|The Family Man]]''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PJddmfesaA]</ref> In the animated short "Skyrim", [[Son-Chu]]'s "SONICHU" license plate can be seen in the background during the first scene.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9eGtyqz4gY]</ref> In the Followup, "Song of Skyrim", Chris makes a brief cameo in the crowd <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsqiSknjHK8]</ref>

Harry himself has commented on [[TheCWCvilleLibrary]]'s upload of the [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] song "[[I'll Never Leave You, Ivy]]", jokingly stating "I want this played at my funeral."

When interviewing Harry Partridge on Animation Aficionados, the hosts asked Harry about Chris's cameos in some of his videos (from 0:19:43). The discussion the hosts have with Harry about Chris is quite lengthy, during which Mr. Partridge admits that he is "obsessed with him":<ref>[http://animationaficionados.com/2011/08/23/episode-35-harry-partridge/]</ref>

During an episode of SleepyCabin, it was revealed that Harry actually contacted Chris to ask him if he wanted to work on a game together, in which Chris declined saying that Harry's animation style wasn't that good at all, despite many considering Harry to be one of the best animators online. The reason why he wanted to work on a game with Chris is unknown to this day, whether it be for trolling or because he actually wanted to.

===''Atop the Fourth Wall''===
Comic book reviewer Lewis [[Sonichu & Rosechu… The Genesis of the Lovehogs|Lovhaug]] (a.k.a.

While he'd previously made the point that he wouldn't review webcomics in general, Linkara didn't want to review ''Sonichu'' in particular because he didn't want to acknowledge it further. He describes Chris as a "[[The Tale of the Crazy Pacer|creepy stalker]]". Towards the end of the episode, a character tries to pressure Linkara into reviewing ''Sonichu'' before Linkara settles on reviewing a ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' comic for his 100th episode. At the end of the video, he uses "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Do I Creep You Out?" as the credits music, a possible jab at Chris.

On 14 December 2014, Spazkid, creator of ''[[Sonichu the Animated Series]]'', described his fascination with Chris, how he began trolling in 2007 and why he ultimately regrets doing it, even though he doesn't hesitate in calling him a retard and being aware that Chris is still a despicable human being.

{{quote|Chris-Chan is—he’s an enigma which to so many people—they thought he was a troll. Because they’re like, “there’s no way this motherfucker is real” because he’s like the most saddest human being ever. And it’s SAD because it’s like… I spent four years of my life fucking with him and people are like, “bring it back!” And I’m like, “NO! LET IT DIE.” It’s like depressing—it’s not the golden age—it’s the depressing age.| Spazkid, rebuking the weens.}}

In another podcast they made, they all got into a heated argument when Spazkid said that he believed that Chris-Chan at least ''tries'' to make decent content with a huge majority of the podcast members completely disagreeing with him.

They occasionally reference him sometimes in other episodes.

Interestingly, the Sleepycast members reveal that [[Harry Partridge]] once contacted Chris about developing a game with him. Apparently, Chris turned Harry down because he thought he wasn't a talented enough animator. Jump to 1:43:25 in the link.

On the 29 December, 2014 edition of his ''What the Fuck is Wrong with You?'' podcast, Radio Dead Air (and Channel Awesome) star Nash and his co-star Tara discussed the 26 December 2014 incident. Until this point, Nash had shed away from discussing Chris for much the same reason as Linkara, but decided he had to discuss it to the overwhelming volume of attention and e-mail the incident generated, along with the utter insanity displayed by Chris.<ref>[http://channelawesome.com/wtfiwwy-live-the-passion-of-the-chris-chan/ WTFIWWY Live: The Passion of the Chris Chan]</ref>

On 2 January 2015, ReviewTechUSA made a video about the 26 December 2014 incident.

===The Mysterious Mr. Enter===
Animation reviewer The Mysterious Mr. Enter made a slight nudge at Chris while preparing to rant about the infamous "I Am Autism" commercial from [[wikipedia:Autism Speaks|Autism Speaks]] (one of many reasons why the organization is disliked among the autism community), saying that it "makes autistic people look worse than...I dunno, Chris-Chan does." Jump to 2:15 in the linked video--and by the way, that is a microphone, not a giant Icee cup. He also mentioned [[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]] near the end of his review of 12-oz. Mouse.

In an episode of ''Steam Train'', Suzy walks in mid-recording to quietly grab a blanket. Ross and Dan draw attention to her anyway, and they warn her the blanket is full of static electricity and it may just make her like Sonichu, to which Suzy is less than enthusiastic about.

Chris appears at 1:13 where the song mocks him for disliking the blarms. Of note is that [[Wikipedia:Mike Pollock|Mike Pollock]], the TRUE and HONEST English voice actor for [[Doctor Robotnik|Dr. Eggman]], has commented on the video and given it his approval, meaning yet another of Chris's heroes is at least tangentially aware of his existence.

===Larry Bundy Jr.===
Chris made a cameo appearance in the "''Apaches''" episode of ''Films Yanks Can't Wank'', during a mention of [[Jimmy Hill]]. Jump to 1:55 in the linked video.

OneyPlays is a gaming channel on YouTube run by popular animator Chris O'Neil, better known as "Oney" or "OneyNG." He and his friends Ding Dong and Julian (as well as other later frequent members of the show) occasionally reference Chris in their banter. In their playthrough of ''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'', they came up with a humorous scenario where Chris replaces the title character as the main protagonist of ''[[Harry Potter]]''. They further mentioned that their favorite video of Chris is [[THAT IS MY HOUSE]]. Among the three, Julian seems to be, at the very least, the most respectful toward Chris Chan, this is seen when he became somewhat upset when Oney called Chris Chan a retard in the F-Zero playthrough, and also in their Sonic Adventure playthrough, when Ding Dong joked about Chris Chan committing suicide by electrocuting himself with an Xbox, though despite all this, he does always end up laughing.

Three minutes into the video, Chris is brought up as an example of the horrors of the [[Sonic]] fandom, particularly showcasing [[Warning - Naughty Women ;)]]. Less than a minute later, Sonic is jokingly referred to as Sonichu.

===Harry Partridge===
[[Image:HappyHarryRosechu.jpg|thumb|125px|"Actually, it is excellent; I would not change a thing about it." -Chris, [[Mailbag 9]]]]
Animator [[Wikipedia:Harry Partridge|Harry Partridge]] (best known for his [[parody|slanderous mockery]] [[Wikipedia:Saturday Morning Watchmen|Saturday Morning ''Watchmen'']]) has made several references to Chris and Sonichu, the first of which is a drawing of [[Rosechu]] uploaded to Newgrounds.<ref>[http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/happyharry/rosechu ]</ref> An animated version of Chris appears briefly in the animated cartoon short "Nicolas Cage Wants Cake", a musical remix of a scene from ''[[Family Guy|The Family Man]]''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PJddmfesaA]</ref> In the animated short "Skyrim", [[Son-Chu]]'s "SONICHU" license plate can be seen in the background during the first scene.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9eGtyqz4gY]</ref> In the Followup, "Song of Skyrim", Chris makes a brief cameo in the crowd <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsqiSknjHK8]</ref>

Harry himself has commented on [[TheCWCvilleLibrary]]'s upload of the [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] song "[[I'll Never Leave You, Ivy]]", jokingly stating "I want this played at my funeral."

When interviewing Harry Partridge on Animation Aficionados, the hosts asked Harry about Chris's cameos in some of his videos (from 0:19:43). The discussion the hosts have with Harry about Chris is quite lengthy, during which Mr. Partridge admits that he is "obsessed with him":<ref>[http://animationaficionados.com/2011/08/23/episode-35-harry-partridge/]</ref>

{{Quote|1=I really am obsessed with him... I check [[CWCki|''Sonichu.com'']], the wiki about Chris-chan and his weird life, if not daily, every couple of hours... there must be more written about Chris-chan than George Washington. |2=Harry Partridge|3=}}

During an episode of SleepyCabin, it was revealed that Harry actually contacted Chris to ask him if he wanted to work on a game together, in which Chris declined saying that Harry's animation style wasn't that good at all, despite many considering Harry to be one of the best animators online. The reason why he wanted to work on a game with Chris is unknown to this day, whether it be for trolling or because he actually wanted to.

===''Atop the Fourth Wall''===
Comic book reviewer Lewis [[Sonichu & Rosechu… The Genesis of the Lovehogs|Lovhaug]] (a.k.a. "Linkara") goes on a brief tirade in his 99th video "Top 15 Things I Will Never Review" about ''Sonichu'' on the subject of webcomics at the 24-minute mark.<ref>[http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/2010/09/top-15-comics-ill-never-review.html]</ref>

I would be a much happier man if I hadn't.|Linkara, speaking for everyone who has ever become aware of Sonichu.}}

While he'd previously made the point that he wouldn't review webcomics in general, Linkara didn't want to review ''Sonichu'' in particular because he didn't want to acknowledge it further. He describes Chris as a "[[The Tale of the Crazy Pacer|creepy stalker]]". Towards the end of the episode, a character tries to pressure Linkara into reviewing ''Sonichu'' before Linkara settles on reviewing a ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' comic for his 100th episode. At the end of the video, he uses "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Do I Creep You Out?" as the credits music, a possible jab at Chris.

Though he never gave Chris's name, referring to him rather inaccurately as "your average ''[[Captain's Log|Star Trek]]'' fan", he did provide a link to Chris's old channel. Jump to 2:09 in the linked video.

===BlackBusterCritic===
Chris has been on the BlackBusterCritic's Sonic Brainfart's videos where BBC highlights the points of Chris' wrongdoings. Jamin also has a part two of the series, but it is unknown what happened to it.

===SleepyCabin===
Sleepycast is a podcast hosted by many famous internet animators, including OneyNG, Psychicpebbles, Stamper and Spazkid.

On 14 December 2014, Spazkid, creator of ''[[Sonichu the Animated Series]]'', described his fascination with Chris, how he began trolling in 2007 and why he ultimately regrets doing it, even though he doesn't hesitate in calling him a retard and being aware that Chris is still a despicable human being.

{{quote|Chris-Chan is—he’s an enigma which to so many people—they thought he was a troll. Because they’re like, “there’s no way this motherfucker is real” because he’s like the most saddest human being ever. And it’s SAD because it’s like… I spent four years of my life fucking with him and people are like, “bring it back!” And I’m like, “NO! LET IT DIE.” It’s like depressing—it’s not the golden age—it’s the depressing age.| Spazkid, rebuking the weens.}}

In another podcast they made, they all got into a heated argument when Spazkid said that he believed that Chris-Chan at least ''tries'' to make decent content with a huge majority of the podcast members completely disagreeing with him.

They occasionally reference him sometimes in other episodes.

Interestingly, the Sleepycast members reveal that [[Harry Partridge]] once contacted Chris about developing a game with him. Apparently, Chris turned Harry down because he thought he wasn't a talented enough animator. Jump to 1:43:25 in the link.

===The Mysterious Mr. Enter===
Animation reviewer The Mysterious Mr. Enter made a slight nudge at Chris while preparing to rant about the infamous "I Am Autism" commercial from [[wikipedia:Autism Speaks|Autism Speaks]] (one of many reasons why the organization is disliked among the autism community), saying that it "makes autistic people look worse than...I dunno, Chris-Chan does."

In their playthrough of ''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'', they came up with a humorous scenario where Chris replaces the title character as the main protagonist of ''[[Harry Potter]]''. They further mentioned that their favorite video of Chris is [[THAT IS MY HOUSE]]. Among the three, Julian seems to be, at the very least, the most respectful toward Chris Chan, this is seen when he became somewhat upset when Oney called Chris Chan a retard in the F-Zero playthrough, and also in their Sonic Adventure playthrough, when Ding Dong joked about Chris Chan committing suicide by electrocuting himself with an Xbox, though despite all this, he does always end up laughing.

===Harry Partridge===
[[Image:HappyHarryRosechu.jpg|thumb|125px|"Actually, it is excellent; I would not change a thing about it." -Chris, [[Mailbag 9]]]]
Animator [[Wikipedia:Harry Partridge|Harry Partridge]] (best known for his [[parody|slanderous mockery]] [[Wikipedia:Saturday Morning Watchmen|Saturday Morning ''Watchmen'']]) has made several references to Chris and Sonichu, the first of which is a drawing of [[Rosechu]] uploaded to Newgrounds.<ref>[http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/happyharry/rosechu ]</ref> An animated version of Chris appears briefly in the animated cartoon short "Nicolas Cage Wants Cake", a musical remix of a scene from ''[[Family Guy|The Family Man]]''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PJddmfesaA]</ref> In the animated short "Skyrim", [[Son-Chu]]'s "SONICHU" license plate can be seen in the background during the first scene.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9eGtyqz4gY]</ref> In the Followup, "Song of Skyrim", Chris makes a brief cameo in the crowd <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsqiSknjHK8]</ref>

Harry himself has commented on [[TheCWCvilleLibrary]]'s upload of the [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] song "[[I'll Never Leave You, Ivy]]", jokingly stating "I want this played at my funeral."

When interviewing Harry Partridge on Animation Aficionados, the hosts asked Harry about Chris's cameos in some of his videos (from 0:19:43). The discussion the hosts have with Harry about Chris is quite lengthy, during which Mr. Partridge admits that he is "obsessed with him":<ref>[http://animationaficionados.com/2011/08/23/episode-35-harry-partridge/]</ref>

During an episode of SleepyCabin, it was revealed that Harry actually contacted Chris to ask him if he wanted to work on a game together, in which Chris declined saying that Harry's animation style wasn't that good at all, despite many considering Harry to be one of the best animators online. The reason why he wanted to work on a game with Chris is unknown to this day, whether it be for trolling or because he actually wanted to.

===''Atop the Fourth Wall''===
Comic book reviewer Lewis [[Sonichu & Rosechu… The Genesis of the Lovehogs|Lovhaug]] (a.k.a.

While he'd previously made the point that he wouldn't review webcomics in general, Linkara didn't want to review ''Sonichu'' in particular because he didn't want to acknowledge it further. He describes Chris as a "[[The Tale of the Crazy Pacer|creepy stalker]]". Towards the end of the episode, a character tries to pressure Linkara into reviewing ''Sonichu'' before Linkara settles on reviewing a ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' comic for his 100th episode. At the end of the video, he uses "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Do I Creep You Out?" as the credits music, a possible jab at Chris.

===SleepyCabin===
Sleepycast is a podcast hosted by many famous internet animators, including OneyNG, Psychicpebbles, Stamper and Spazkid.

On 14 December 2014, Spazkid, creator of ''[[Sonichu the Animated Series]]'', described his fascination with Chris, how he began trolling in 2007 and why he ultimately regrets doing it, even though he doesn't hesitate in calling him a retard and being aware that Chris is still a despicable human being.

{{quote|Chris-Chan is—he’s an enigma which to so many people—they thought he was a troll. Because they’re like, “there’s no way this motherfucker is real” because he’s like the most saddest human being ever. And it’s SAD because it’s like… I spent four years of my life fucking with him and people are like, “bring it back!” And I’m like, “NO! LET IT DIE.” It’s like depressing—it’s not the golden age—it’s the depressing age.| Spazkid, rebuking the weens.}}

In another podcast they made, they all got into a heated argument when Spazkid said that he believed that Chris-Chan at least ''tries'' to make decent content with a huge majority of the podcast members completely disagreeing with him.

They occasionally reference him sometimes in other episodes.

Interestingly, the Sleepycast members reveal that [[Harry Partridge]] once contacted Chris about developing a game with him. Apparently, Chris turned Harry down because he thought he wasn't a talented enough animator. Jump to 1:43:25 in the link.

===OneyPlays===
OneyPlays is a gaming channel on YouTube run by popular animator Chris O'Neil, better known as "Oney" or "OneyNG." He and his friends Ding Dong and Julian (as well as other later frequent members of the show) occasionally reference Chris in their banter. In their playthrough of ''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'', they came up with a humorous scenario where Chris replaces the title character as the main protagonist of ''[[Harry Potter]]''. They further mentioned that their favorite video of Chris is [[THAT IS MY HOUSE]]. Among the three, Julian seems to be, at the very least, the most respectful toward Chris Chan, this is seen when he became somewhat upset when Oney called Chris Chan a retard in the F-Zero playthrough, and also in their Sonic Adventure playthrough, when Ding Dong joked about Chris Chan committing suicide by electrocuting himself with an Xbox, though despite all this, he does always end up laughing.

Women's rights

{{Honest}}
{{Merge|Chris and gender}}
[[File:SchuComic8P58.jpg|thumb]]
[[Image:ShecameforCWC (200803).JPG|thumb|Chris giving the thumbs up (and two fingers) to women's rights.]]
{{quote|Christian Weston Chandler, A Man For The Women, For the Women's Rights, For the Women's Justice, For the Women's Peace.|Self-description<ref>[[List of Chris's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica]]</ref>}}

One would think that a person who socialises almost exclusively [[Gal pal|with women]] and refers to all men aside from himself and his [[Bob Chandler|father]] as "[[JERKS|jerks]]" would be very supportive of '''women's rights'''. In the case of [[Christian Weston Chandler]], however, one would be mistaken. Women's rights, at least in Chris's mind, refer to the right of women to strip without interference, and the right of a woman not to be accused of having a [[pickle]].

Given his admitted love of the [[Pre-1980#1960s|1964]] classic ''[[Mary Poppins]]'', he presumably took the concept from the character of Mrs. Banks, who is a suffragette in 1910 London.<ref>Lyrics from "The Life I Lead": "It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910 / {{w|Edward VII of the United Kingdom|King Edward}}'s on the throne / It's the age of men!"</ref> Of course, Chris wouldn't have the first idea of what {{w|women's suffrage}} is, let alone the impact it had on world history, and why it was being shown in the movie in the first place ([[Manchester High Leaks|especially given what's known about how Chris well did in high school]]).

Some of Chris's views suggest that he actually has a chauvinistic, if not outright misogynistic, idea of what a woman's role in a family must be. While Chris regularly talks up how great most women he's interacted with are (regardless of whether or not said praise is actually warranted), Chris's ideal woman is ultimately someone who will do all the work in caring for the family, while working a full-time job, and while mothering Chris while having [[Chris and sex|sex]] with him whenever he wants. Oddly, his views haven't changed much in spite of the fact that he now identifies as a [[transgender]] woman – [[Chris and hypocrisy|Chris sees himself as having an exemption]] [[Chris and work|from these same responsibilities]] in a hypothetical relationship, [[Chris and his ego|because he's "special"]].

==Origin==

As stated, Chris's extreme zeal for "women's rights" probably comes from Mrs. Banks, the mother of Jane and Michael in ''Mary Poppins'', a 1964 Disney film based on the book series by P. L. Travers. As the story is set in 1910 London, women did not yet have the right to vote, but there was a mass uprising of campaigns for women's franchise around this time, particularly from groups like the radical Suffragettes and the more moderate Suffragists. Mrs. Banks is the mother of the children and sings the second song, "Sister Suffragette", during which she mentions prominent women's campaigner {{w|Emmeline Pankhurst}} being arrested (again).<ref>"Take heart! For Missus Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again!"</ref>

Mrs. Banks and her friends were depicted as struggling for the greater cause of being treated as an equal, with the same rights and opportunities as men. Chris, however, takes it to mean they simply want to remove their clothes and fuck whenever they want.

==In the comic==
{{quote|Proving something about woman's rights or something by having a girl strip naked...that's a conflicting message. I don't know what kind of message you are trying to portray. You say you care about women yet your pictures and other sayings all conflict with one another.|[[Vivian Gee]] <ref>[[Vivian Gee E-mails, 2007-2008]]</ref>}}
[[Image:SchuComic9P35.jpg|thumb|An example of Chris's disclaimers.]]
In the [[comics]], women are portrayed as only enjoying lots of sex, shopping, and cooking (not for themselves; they cook for the men). Similarly, when they go shopping, they buy clothes specifically to wear for their significant other/crush. They have stereotypical female attributes which Chris clearly believes are legitimate, such as them eating salad at McDonalds and [[Bionic the Hedgehog|squishing over male characters]], while being motivated only by the desire to [[Sonichu 9#Episode 19: Date Ed (Even Though the Idea Sounds Dated)|find a mate]] and please him with [[Sandy Rosechu|offspring]].

Chris's most prominent reference to women's rights occurs at the end of [[Episode 17]], in which the [[Rosechu (species)|Rosechus]] of [[CWCville]] '''strip naked''' to celebrate their victory over [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] (during which [[Rosechu]] ''rapes'' Howell (she's supposed to be the hero)) and assert their dominance over [[4-cent garbage.com]]. This scene also implies that women cannot vote in CWCville, because at one point, the Rosechus start singing the "votes for women" portion of the song "Step In Time". This brings up a sinister aspect of Chris's dictatorship over CWCville - he's passionate about batshit laws like making the consumption of [[Tobacky|tobacco]] punishable by imprisonment, yet the CWCville administration has never even considered voting rights for women (the United States have had equal voting rights for women since 1920). Considering how Chris tends to put women on a pedestal, you would think he would have addressed that already within ''Sonichu'' canon.

Despite their [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|phenomenal talent for fighting evil]], Chris depicts Rosechus as passive [[Sex toys|sexual objects]] for [[Sonichu (species)|Sonichus]]. Reflecting Chris's own distorted image of women, the Rosechus in his comics tend to exhibit a desire to engage in stereotypical behavior, with occasional aggressive sexual overtures. Women also tend to act as deus ex machina plot devices - occasionally leaving their role as irrelevant supporting characters to engage in acts of great bravery and heroism. Often, the female characters offer nothing of any substantial narrative value. [[Rosechu]] is seen more often being rescued from ''damsel-in-distress'' situations then actually being a competent hero.

It is obvious that Chris is ''aware'' of the idea that objectifying women is frowned upon; every time he makes his female characters use their feminine qualities (to put it altogether too mildly), he is quick to add a disclaimer that he respects the women for ''both'' their minds and bodies, and/or make the claim that the characters are doing it because they want to fight for the rights of women. However, due to his [[autism|mental block]], he fails to understand that disclaimers like these make him appear to be a [[Chris and hypocrisy|hypocrite.]]

==In real life==
[[File:Punchylaylalove2.jpg|thumb|left|[[Layla]] performs a woman's highest duty.]]
[[Image:RosechuTheIncredibleLioness.jpg|thumb|The very essence of femininity, according to Chris. How else are we supposed to interpret this?]]

Chris allows himself to be controlled by his own desires, and has soaked in all sorts of knowledge about women primarily from [[anime]], [[video games]], and in particular [[pornography]], which Chris considers "educational".<ref>[[Miyamoto Saga]]</ref> He has had several problems realizing the difference between exaggerated stereotypes and the reality, as also evidenced by his [[Chris and race|racist remarks]].
During the [[Tomgirl Saga]], he states that he uses the female bathroom, and that there is "no going back for him", not realizing that he is blatantly intruding upon the privacy of the women present, and disregarding their feelings (which, undoubtedly, can be summed up as pure terror).

This delusion regarding females is painfully obvious in Chris's interaction with women during his [[Love Quest]]. Chris takes on a completely passive role in his attraction strategy, waiting to be approached by women whom he thinks will take interest in his appearance, and who when in a relationship with him will look after him both financially and physically - essentially, a [[Barbara Chandler|maternal figure]]. Rather than aiming to better himself, Chris is looking to be fulfilled and served by women. Rather than having the full potential to use their talents in society, women's rights are the rights of women to bring pleasure to men as Chris sees fit. When Chris claimed to have lost his virginity to a hooker in [[April 2012]], he also said, quite bluntly, ''"My future sweetheart will find out about it",'' giving off the impression that whoever hooks up with him will just accept him sleeping with a prostitute right off the bat, and relegating the woman who finally took away his [[Virgin with rage|hated virginity]] to being nothing more than an organic [[Fapcup]]. This was proven true when in December 2014, he wrote this as a ''vow'' [[Catherine#Leaked_Information|on a card]] to his latest [[Trolls|sweetheart]], Catherine.

Much of Chris's sexism in relationships is [[Chris and hypocrisy|hypocrisy]] – for example, he thought that if he was married to [[Ivy]] and was [[stress]]ed, he could go to a [[Zelina Rosechu|strip club]], but of course she could not; similarly, he suggested a MFF threesome with many of his sweethearts, but was horrified when Ivy suggested a [[Homos|MMF threesome]].<ref>[[Ivy Q&A]]</ref> He even [[Mumble_7|supports the notion]] that it's okay to cheat on your spouse [[Chris_and_reality|as long as you have permission]], but he himself has shown nothing but utter contempt towards [[JERKS|anybody he deems a threat to his relationships]]. In a nutshell, this means that it's okay for ''him'' to sleep around just as long as he tells his girlfriend about it, but not okay for any sweetheart to do the same to him.

When confronted with his sexism, Chris becomes extremely indignant and offended.<ref>[[White_knight_e-mails#September_2008_.E2.80.94_Chris_denies_being_fat_and_sexist]]</ref> When his sexism is pointed out, he gets upset and clarifies that he would never harm a woman (though he has no problem [[Death threats#Vivian Gee|threatening to kill them]]). Chris seems to be under the impression that "sexism" basically means "physical abuse", and doesn't think portraying women as sexual objects obsessed with shopping is offensive or damaging.

Also of note is that, despite deeming women to be superior over [[JERKS]], any females who seemingly inconvenienced Chris somehow weren't spared his [[Chris and anger|considerable wrath]]. Good examples would be [[Mary Lee Walsh]] and [[Megan Schroeder]] (his [[SheCameForCWC.jpg|disregard for ''her'' women's rights]] was the final straw for their ailing companionship) who Chris accused of orchestrating his life's abundant woes, even though conflicts with both women were pretty much entirely his fault. Plus, he coined "Janekop" as official term for a female [[Jerkop]], proving that whilst he [[Chris and hypocrisy|preaches about the importance of "women's rights"]], refusing to let him get [[Love Quest|the love and sex he craves]] will make you pure evil in his eyes, even if you're female.

It seems that in recent years, Chris has gotten even more demanding and aggressive in his attitude towards women. Read [[Catherine_E-mails#It_IS_Your_Fault.21|this E-mail to Catherine]] leaked in 2014, where Chris gets annoyed when Catherine says no to a relationship (''[[Sweetheart#Will_Chris_ever_have_a_Sweetheart.3F|big surprise]]''), where he basically insults the woman and blatantly ''claims that he's entitled to her'', right before whining about how depressed he is. He even goes on further to say that she should "appreciate the the hard work and effort I had put into US!!!", even though shortly before that he was [[I_Love_You,_Catherine|abusing her friends and telling her what she can and can't do]].

[[File:May26BookSelfie.jpg|thumb|200px|Chris holding his copy with a self-made cover.]]

'''Warhol / Chris Chan''', subtitled '''The Lifespan of American Pop Culture, or The Suppression of [[Chris and reality|Reality]]''', is a self-published [[fan]] book by Don Lashomb which subjectively compares the output of [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]] with renowned modern artist {{w|Andy Warhol}} (who, [[Mia Hamm|unlike Chris]], supposedly died a [[Virgin with rage|virgin]]). The book was published via Amazon on 19 [[May 2021]].

Chris took an interest upon discovering the book a few days later, getting [[Chris and his ego|an ego boost]] out of being compared to someone famous in extensive detail. However, he still criticized the book over [[Twitter]], taking issue with the book's focus on his [[sex|sex life]] and sexually explicit art.<ref>[[May 2021 social media posts#Andy Warhol]]</ref> He purchased a copy of it and made his own cover for it as he didn't "have to feel bored in with looking at a [[pickle]]." Said pickle is a reference to the Warhol-designed cover art for the Velvet Underground's debut album ''The Velvet Underground and Nico''. Upon browsing the book's Disclaimer chapter, Chris commented about a nitpick with its contents, insisting that his delusions were real. Aside from it, he mentioned liking the book so far and thanked the author, giving it a glowing five-star review.<ref>[[May 2021 social media posts#Chris buys a book]]</ref>

On 27 May, Chris recorded a cover of [[Cover song: “I’ll Be Your Mirror” by Velvet Underground|“I’ll Be Your Mirror”]] by the Velvet Underground and Nico to promote the book.

On 1 [[June 2021]], while reading chapter 5 of the book, Chris briefly [[role-play|roleplayed]] as his younger [[Christopher's name change|pre-name change]] self over Twitter, in order to check in with his inner child and search for issues to address.<ref>[[June 2021 social media posts#Chris larps as his younger self]]</ref>

In a 13 [[July 2021]] tweet, Chris stated that he would distribute approximately 24 book jackets that he had made for the book while at the [[Everfree Northwest]] ''[[My Little Pony]]'' convention to those who showed that they had purchased a copy. He would also state that he would be willing to autograph any copy of the book that was brought to him.<ref>[[July 2021 social media posts#Artwork commission stuff and Andy Warhol]]</ref>

On 1 [[August 2021]], in the wake of Chris's admission of [[Affair with Mother|incest with his mother]], Lashomb made a public statement distancing himself from Chris and announcing that he would stop promoting the book.<ref>https://donalashomb.wordpress.com/2021/08/01/statement/</ref> According to the [[incest fallout chat leaks]], Chris gave Lashomb subtle hints about his incestuous relationship in early July, but Lashomb (like [[Null]]) apparently did not put the pieces together.

Despite Lashomb cutting ties with Chris, the book was briefly promoted again on [[Praetor]]'s Etsy page with Chris's permission.

"𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒋𝒐𝒌𝒆? 𝑶𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍?
A CRITICAL CONFRONTATION. What can we learn from comparing the two most unique cultural figures in living memory?

Warhol and Chris Chan: Both became famous while producing artwork that was often met with derision. Both became the focus of intense interest and curiosity. Their indelible personalities provoked fascination and laughter. In spite of their strangeness--or because of it--they reflect particularly pertinent aspects of the world around them. They are thought of as the oddest of oddities, and yet they represent the course of our society as a whole.

From bright Pop Art to sordid underground films, Andy Warhol portrayed an [[America]] that was both familiar and avant-garde. He [[Michael Snyder is ColdHearted and Mean|carried a tape recorder everywhere]] and prophesized that in the future everyone would be famous just for being themselves. Several decades later, Chris Chan embodies Warhol's dream: Thanks to the internet Chris has become known worldwide, is constantly documented, observed, scrutinized, and made the subject of mass debate and media analysis.

Warhol worked to legitimize popular culture and give it the prestige of high art. But more recent generations have grown up breathing pop culture as if it were air. "Young at heart", people continue playing [[video games]] and collecting toys into adulthood, and favorite entertainment franchises are treated akin to religions. More than anyone else, Chris Chan emblematizes the excesses of this era.

This comprehensive study investigates the parallels and divergences between Warhol and Chris Chan, both of whom can be seen as bellwethers of cultural shifts. The two are compared in terms of how they relate to the following elements--from the fundamentals of life to the themes of our age:

● Names & [[CWC-isms|Words]]

● [[Chris's room|Collecting & Hoarding]]

● [[Chris and brand loyalty|Consumerism]]

● [[Chris and video games|Technology]] & [[Chris in the media|Media]]

● [[Chris and gender|Women]] . . . [[Chris and sex|Sex]] . [[Transgender|Transgenderism]] . . [[Women's rights|Femdom]]

● [[Chris and his ego|Fame]]: [[Messiah complex|Mythologies of Self]] & [[Dimensions|Multiverse]]

● Recording

A wide [[autism|spectrum]] of knowledge is painstakingly drawn upon to analyze our two subjects from all angles. References and points of comparison are made to elements of:

● [[Chris and art|Art]] history

● Classic [[Chris and cameras|film]]

● Modernist [[Chris and writing |literature]]

● Philosophy (from Plato to the postmodern)

● Popular [[music]]

● [[Psychology]] (especially psychoanalysis)

● [[Chris and the Internet|Internet meme culture]]

Through pathos and ridiculousness, in an uncertain world that's constantly changing, we trace the human spirit as it passes from the golden age of Americana... through the high Warholian era... and now into Chris Chan's [[S-Chu Ball|Poké Ball.]]

So: 𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒋𝒐𝒌𝒆? 𝑶𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍? Read slowly and see.

(NOTE: Chris Chan's pronouns are indeed respected throughout this study. The author is proud to have earned the approval of Christine Chandler herself.)"

==Interview with Don Lashomb==
{{quote|If someone else has been posting as me here, on KF, or on Twitter, that's not me, just so you know. I didn't really keep up with the CWC communities on a daily basis before the book, and I'm not doing so now.|Don's personal disclaimer before the interview started.}}

On 31 May 2021, author Don Lashomb was contacted by Official CWCki Server moderator [[User:OrangeJuice|Orange Juice]] via Reddit, for a text-based interview about the production and intention of the book. Lashomb's messages are in blue, Orange Juice's messages are in orange.

===Lashomb's Plans===
{{quoteboxorange|As an easy opener, when did you first started ''[sic]'' your literary work and are you planning on doing more Chris Chan content or rather explore other projects instead?}}

{{quotebox|You're too kind in calling it all "literary work". I've written a lot of different stuff since I was a child, on a lot of different subjects, much of it as a ghostwriter for other people.

I have absolutely no plans for further Chris Chan-related work aside from an eventual revised edition of the current book, correcting any factual errors and typos. The current offering is labeled as a "[[Honest Content|True, Honest]] First Edition" and at some point there will be a "Premiere 2nd edition", to reference the cover of [[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]] ("Premiere #2"), because I think that would be funny. This was always going to happen, to correct any inaccuracies.

Other people keep asking me about things like an audiobook version (unlikely), an ebook version (more likely), and different sorts of special editions with contributions from other people. I'm reluctant to do much of that, and if any of it happens I don't expect to offer any further contributions myself. I knew who Chris Chan was before undertaking this project, but keeping up with Chris Chan and/or the CWC community was not an active interest of mine beforehand, and I have no interest in becoming an active observer or participant going forward.}}

===Expecting Chris to Comment?===

{{quoteboxorange|That’s absolutely valid for you to comment. Nonetheless, I’m with certain to honor your talent with such a title. Were you expecting Chris to acknowledge your book? And considering a few days ago at the time of this interview, Christine provided herself with not only a [[May_2021_social_media_posts#Chris_buys_a_book|review]] but also a [[Cover song: “I’ll Be Your Mirror” by Velvet Underground|cover song]] and her own [[:File:May26BookSelfie.jpg|book cover design]] in order to not “have to feel bored in with looking at a [[pickle]]."}}

{{quotebox|You can call it literature or talk about my talent if you want, but in my view I just did the best job I could do writing the book I wrote. Readers should be able to tell from some of the humor and facetiousness in the book that I'm not taking it all so deadly seriously. A lot of effort went into the study, but I had a great time doing it. I was able to explore a lot of themes that matter to me, but at the end of the day it's a book with a pickle on the cover, and in part the cover image was chosen to diffuse the pretentiousness that tends to set in whenever one is dealing with postmodernism or academic language.

I expected Chris to respond but I had no idea what the response would be. That was part of the fun, actually, finding out. Christine offered her cover to be used for a variant edition, but we wouldn't be able to do that with copyrighted Warhol imagery on it. I haven't heard the song and only learned about its existence from a friend earlier today. I am very much NOT the sort of person to be "monitoring the situation" on social media.}}

===Book Cover Design and Lashomb's Authorial Intentions===

{{quoteboxorange|I find you’re taking the reception well and are avoiding to relentlessly check on updates about this. As far as colloquial dialects go, you’re a “madlad” for being a part of Christory (CWC history) now and also having reportedly introduced Christine herself into Andy Warhol. This more of a personal question I have but who designed the curious book cover?}}

{{quotebox|Yes, I have it on good authority that [[Count Dankula]] has already begun a "mad lads" episode on me but needs a little more material.

The cover image is from a meme by Mistletoe_Radio, who graciously allowed me to repurpose it. I tweaked it slightly.}}

[[File:OriginalWarholChrisChanBookCover.jpeg|thumb|200px|The image linked in Orange Juice's message.]]

{{quoteboxorange|This one, correct? https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/lt6s7s/before_joining_his_lifelong_band_christian_and/

Coming from an artist myself, I believe that we as creators put out our work with a defining expression or message. Many may misinterpret your book as a piece of cash grab or a form of attention (to which you've both debunked here and via your responses to a couple of users whom criticized). If you had one sentence which briefly describes your intention of the book, what would it be? Whether it's a summary or clarification about what some may think otherwise.}}

[[File:AntiOedipusBookCover.jpeg|thumb|200px|The image linked in Lashomb's message.]]

{{quotebox|Yeah that's the image from Mistletoe_Radio. I was not in the habit of reading Reddit, but someone else I was in contact with showed me the meme on the day I finished the rough draft of the book, and I thought it was great synchronicity. I was thrilled that Mistleto_Radio allowed me to use the image because I thought it was perfect. Before then I had been thinking of spoofing the cover to "Anti-Oedipus" by Deleuze & Guattari (https://www.bibliovault.org/thumbs/978-0-8166-1225-3-frontcover.jpg), but that wouldn't've been as good.

I'll answer your "one sentence" question tomorrow (it's very late here), but I'll respond to some other things briefly:

Re: "avoiding to relentlessly check on updates about this": I think people should be careful about what they put in their heads. Just in general it doesn't do me any good to check social media, period. As far as reviews, from what he insinuated to me personally, I would guess that GiBi gave me positive coverage, but I haven't watched either of his videos that mention me. There's no reason to watch them.

Re: "having reportedly introduced Christine herself into Andy Warhol": I like playing matchmaker and I wish I could tell you some of the figures I've introduced to one another, but I can't. I knew CWC/Warhol would be a good pairing. Warhol seems like Chris Chan's precursor within a tradition of pop-culture-oriented artists. Warhol was often ridiculed as well. Both Warhol and Chris Chan can seem very strange and unique, and yet at the same time they emblematize large portions of our shared culture. Warhol was an outsider who became an insider. Chris Chan remains an outsider artist despite garnering a lot of fame. This says something about how fame itself has changed.}}

{{quoteboxorange|As I've stated before, I respect your point about not only avoiding the obsession of checking social media but to warn others of how they interpret things with their personal schema. Although uncommon as an opinion, your argument in particular of presenting Chris as another Warhol in progress is presented in a fair and grounded manner.

I am humbly thankful for the time you've taken upon this interview for today and will look forward for additional trivia or information you may have for tomorrow. Take care!}}

{{quotebox|Re: "presenting Chris as another Warhol": I wouldn't say Chris is "another Warhol". Chris Chan is Chris Chan. But there are parallels to be made between the two figures, as bookends of a pop-culture era that began after WWII and may now be ending. The differences between them say something about how our culture has changed in the meantime.

Re: "If you had one sentence which briefly describes your intention of the book, what would it be?": It's the only book of its kind, and I thought the world would be more interesting with this book in it.

Re: "Many may misinterpret your book as a piece of cash grab": I understand why people jump to the most cynical conclusions, but almost anyone who gives my work even a brief glance (or sees the physicality of the actual book) will see that a lot of effort went into it. It's extremely substantive, but also very absurd, and I like the mix between those two qualities. As far as "get rich CWC" schemes go, this wouldn't rate very high. Sales have been nice but I make a lot more from my day job and other income.}}

===Lashomb on Pickles===

{{quoteboxorange|Thank you for following up to yesterday's past questions.

Re: "It's the only book of its kind, and I thought the world would be more interesting with this book in it."

Indeed it is, and I'm happy to exist for its creation. I've been forwarded this silly question by another CWCki Discord Server Moderator who wanted to know, "Do you like pickles?"}}

{{quotebox|They're okay.}}

===Lashomb's Interactions with Chris===

{{quoteboxorange|Amazing response.

It's noted that Chris reported to have conversed with you and while there may be many questions in order to detail the scenario, I would like to briefly know how Chris came into contact with you/vice versa along with the conversation you two had}}

{{quotebox|Chris contacted me via [REDACTED]. Our correspondence was very pleasant. I was impressed with Chris's politeness, ability to take criticism, and attention to detail. In recent years the art of email writing seems to have gone by the wayside, but I find Chris to be a conscientious correspondent. We don't agree on everything, but that's fine. It seems that eventually Christine will provide a detailed response to the book, much as she plans to offer audio commentary to [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History|Geno's documentary]]. I'm very happy that, in general, Chris supports the book and thanked me for writing it.}}

===Comparing Chris and Warhol===

{{quoteboxorange|As much as I have expected, I am happy for Christine sending you a formal yet personal message commemorating your book and adding her comments upon it. This is less of a question but rather a compliment at how you’ve dedicated yourself into creating not only the Warhol/Chris Chan book but achieved it at 600+ pages.}}

{{quotebox|That goes along with wanting to make something that was both impressive and absurd, at the same time. My goal was to explore the themes and comparisons to the best of my ability, no matter how many pages it took. There's also something about both Warhol and Chris Chan that facilitates comprehensiveness and exhaustion. When Warhol first exhibited the soup cans, he didn't just show one, he showed 32 of them, one for every variety available at the time. And his film Empire, which is just a stationary shot of the Empire State Building, wouldn't've become so notorious if it wasn't 8 hours long. Similarly, Christorians tend to want to document Chris Chan's life in great detail. We have the CWCki itself, of course, but also Geno's documentary series, which seems to include almost everything, and there are also Chris-Tubers who tirelessly cover Chris on a weekly basis. Warhol's actual Diaries, covering only an 11-year period, amounted to over 20,000 pages. Warhol wanted to record everything, and Chris Chan is arguably the most documented person in history. That's another major point of comparison, showing how Chris Chan seems to fulfill another Warhol prophecy.

By the way, maybe this isn't for me to decide, but I wouldn't consider myself a Christorian. Maybe I was one for a little while.}}

{{quoteboxorange|I appreciate your outstanding research on both artists despite yourself not currently identifying as a Christorian. I cannot doubt about the absurd amount of research it must’ve taken in order to confidently write about those comparisons.

On behalf of the CWCki Discord Server and CWCki staff, I have no other questions and would like to thank you for allowing this interview! I am honored to have had this moment with you.}}

Chris and art

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* Dexterity */

{{quote|My art style, I feel, is one that would be typically mistaken as child-like, yet there is an elegance that gives its simplicity an appealing charm. This is a style that needs not be overthought, as it is typically to the point.|[[Chris]], talking about his art<ref>[[January 2020 social media posts]]</ref>}}

[[File:MyMindIsABlank.jpg|thumb|''[[January 2015 Facebook posts#He Hasn't Forgotten Us!|My Mind Is a Blank]]'', January 2015]]

[[File:CWCPeterPaulRubens.png|thumb|How Chris sees his self-portraits.]]

'''Art''' has been, and always will be, Chris's selling point. Chris has been involved with some form of art or another throughout his life. He has taken numerous art and design classes in [[high school]], and he holds a degree in [[CADD|computer-aided drafting and design]]. But despite his extensive education in the visual arts (and relative lack of other discernible skills), his style is quite unique, to say the least.

Ever since the very day [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] found out about Chris's creation of [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], many people have taken interest in Chris because of his infamously bad artwork. Ironically, his crude creative abilities are what made him stand out as an artist. ''Sonichu'' wouldn't be ''Sonichu'' without Chris's art. Encouraging Chris to produce more of it remains a popular objective amongst [[troll]]s and [[ween]]s.

==Before we get started with today's critique...==
It can be easy to simply write off Chris as a bad artist without asking why. But of course, visual art is subjective – there are a multitude of reasons ''why'' someone might not like a particular work, and there are bound to be people who will like it. Different styles suit different artists (and viewers), and realism isn't exactly the gold standard of good art. The fact that people [[commissions|commission]] Chris is proof that he isn't objectively a failed artist. After all, he sold more art than Van Gogh ever did in his lifetime.

Chris is no [[naive]] artist – he took art classes throughout his schooling. He is most likely familiar with the process of artistic critiques in an academic setting. This article will reflect that process.

Instead of outright praising or bashing Chris's art, this critique will offer constructive criticism. It will examine strong and weak points of Chris's art in an objective, taste-neutral manner. It will examine all media but place special emphasis on his most proficient medium: drawing. The article will also consider the context of Chris's art. Finally, it will consider ways he has improved his craft, aspects that can be improved, and techniques he is outright unwilling to improve.

==Weak points==

===Exercise of skills and improvement in craft===
[[Image:0025-ChristophersMicroMornings.jpg|thumb|left|Not bad for a grade-schooler.]]

Chris does not seem to consider his artistic skill in need of revision; he is always fully satisfied by the first attempt at a drawing he makes. Naturally, being an artist of that caliber, Chris takes it upon himself to criticize the art that his [[True and Loyal Fanbase]] send to him, and is quick to point out the myriad of "flaws" in each work.<ref>[[Ivy Q&A#After Emily]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Personal Sonichu Presentation#Part 2]]</ref>

Chris has said he spends "an hour at most" drawing a comic page and about a half-hour coloring it.<ref>[[Mailbag 2#In which Chris insults someone who drew a picture for him]]</ref> He does not seem to be aware of the fact that producing the kind of high-quality artwork that fans expect in a good comic strip is very labor-intensive and can easily take hours, sometimes days, even with professional software programs like Photoshop. He also doesn't seem to understand, or care, that any good artist will draw a scene multiple times before they publish it, especially if there are mistakes. In pretty much any episode of ''Sonichu'', you will be sure to find at least one mistake Chris has made that he refuses to redo and simply colors over. One good example is the scene from Chris and Ivy [[Giant Penis Comic|going to a hotel for hanky-panky]].<ref>[[:File:SchuComicSP3P5.jpg]]</ref> If you look at the scene, you can see multiple mistakes that any artist would have seen as a reason to redo the picture. Chris started to draw his balls (via tracing), but decided he didn't like the proportions that presented, so he decided to keep the start of the trace and just add some "speed lines". If you look at the picture of Ivy you will see that Chris messed up a bit around her face but decided that instead of redoing it, he'd just color over it. He also messed up a bit on her right breast; he drew one too small and decided to make it bigger, by just adding another curved line.

At times, he would expand ''Sonichu'' stories in summary form on [[CWCipedia]], a medium better equipped to keep up with his racing, easily distracted imagination. Everything he says or writes, he considers being a part of his comic's continuity partly because it is easier to record these euphoric and fleeting bouts of inspiration as they occur rather than days, weeks, months, or even years later in comic form.

Chris's art ''has'' improved in recent years: compare the original [[Sonichu 0]] cover to his later covers. The amount in which he has improved, though, is up for debate.

===Choices of materials and technology===
[[File:July14MarkerPhoto.jpg|thumb|Chris's tools.]]

Chris believes that his so-called "hand-drawn style" is superior to art produced by any other means. This is due to Chris's hatred to change what he has already learned and his belief, as a consequence of his [[ego]], that his method is the best by virtue of being his.

Obviously, Chris's skill cannot compensate for the poor materials he uses. He does his work a disservice by using tools that are the cheapest available: copy paper, Pentel RSVP ballpoint pens, and Crayola washable markers.<ref>[[Mumble 7#10:21 Another fan asks about art supplies|Mumble #7]]</ref> These happen to be the tools he has used since childhood.

Far from archival quality, his art has sometimes shown [[Wedding Comic|signs of wrinkling]] as soon as it has been finished. Chris has defended his practice of [[Chris and writing#Dialogue|rampant textwalling]] as a way to "save marker ink."<ref>[[Mailbag 19]]</ref>

When Chris wants to alter a panel, but does not want to put in the effort to redraw the entire page, his method to fix it is to draw a piece on another page, cut it out, and glue it over the original drawing. This can be seen in revisions to [[Sonichu 15]].

While Chris has claimed at various times to use {{w|Adobe Photoshop}} to create his characters and edit his comics,<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu#Conception_and_Creation Sonichu's Conception and Creation], archived from [[CWCipedia]].</ref><ref>[[Miyamoto emails#Please Give Me $800]]</ref><ref>[[Chris's resume#Experience]]</ref> he has only ever been seen using {{w|Adobe PhotoDeluxe}},<ref>The Adobe PhotoDeluxe name can be seen on the taskbar of Chris's computer at 0:13 in [[Clyde's Buddy Matt Getting SUPER-LAID!!!]].</ref><ref>Chris offered PhotoDeluxe advice to [[The Wallflower]] in [[Wallflower E-mails 2]].</ref> with which he created his [[Clyde's Buddy Matt Getting SUPER-LAID!!!|slanderous head-swap]] of [[Clyde Cash|Clyde]]'s buddy Matt. This is in spite of the fact that PhotoDeluxe is intended for scanning and touching up photographs, and Photoshop (which Chris claims to own) would be better suited for the kind of general-purpose image editing and head-swapping that Chris does. In addition, PhotoDeluxe is a fossil of a program that hasn't been supported by Adobe since [[2002]]. Chris's claim in [[Mailbag 3]] that he uses "a past version" of Photoshop<ref>[[Mailbag 3#Art questions]]</ref> could imply that he is [[Slow-in-the-minds|confusing PhotoDeluxe for a part of the Photoshop line]], or that, if he really does use Photoshop, the revision he owns is just as woefully out-of-date as his ancient PhotoDeluxe program.

Chris's font of choice for most of the ''Sonichu'' comics was {{w|Comic Sans}}, a font almost universally condemned for being overused, childish, unprofessional, and ugly; serious designers generally only use it as a last resort or for ironic effect, since better handwritten fonts are available for purchase.<ref>[http://bancomicsans.com Ban the Comic Sans]</ref><ref>[http://achewood.com/index.php?date=07052007 They will make you taste the curb]</ref> However, starting from [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]] onward, he switched to Proxima Nova.

===Drawing techniques===
[[File:CChanDraws.jpg|thumb|Strange pen grips can be corrected with the assistance of school teachers. Chris slept through these lessons.]]
Chris has never even learned to hold a pen correctly. Instead of holding the front of the pen with the thumb and forefinger, he draws with his index finger sticking out and bent around the pen. Give this a try and see how long it takes for you to get carpal tunnel.

In [[CWC - Hand Drawn Original]] (2009) and [[Live Drawing Streams]] (2017), Chris demonstrated his drawing technique on video.

[[File:Chris pen grip 2019.jpg|Wearing gym gloves while drawing.|thumb]]

During 2019, Chris hampered his ability further by wearing his gym gloves while drawing.

{{quote|I don’t want to deal with the constant pencil sharpening and all that trash.|Chris giving one of his reasons for why he uses a pen for line art<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20191108234140/https://twitter.com/cwcsonichu/status/1001562775209086976</ref>.}}

While most artists will produce multiple sketch versions of a single drawing, often layered on top of one another, Chris is so confident in his innate artistic ability that his first step in a page of ''Sonichu'' is drawing the final line art in pen before coloring it in with Crayola markers. If he makes a mistake, he shrugs it off and continues. There is no post-processing beyond adding text to word balloons with MS Paint and PhotoDeluxe. Attempts to inform him that digital coloring is more efficient and far less expensive than wasting gallons of marker ink filling in monocolor backgrounds have failed.

===Visual style and most artistic fundamentals===
[[Image:099-CWCsCWC.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Nice arms you got there, Chris.]]
[[File:SchuComic12-1P106.jpg|thumb|Try and work out what's meant to be happening here.]]
{{Quote|sonichu had kind of a kiddy art style, which i guess was your point. [...] i thought you meant it as an avant-garde thing, to make a statment like, ironically bad|[[Jackie]]<ref>[[Jackie Chat 2]]</ref>}}

Before the comics, Chris attempted realism for work in oil pastel, charcoal, and graphite, presumably for art classes in school. The results can be seen in the gallery below. While he did spend some time in high school taking art classes, most professional artists heavily study artistic fundamentals before venturing off into the territory of stylization. Without knowing how things appear in reality, it is difficult to distort properties to an aesthetically pleasing effect. Chris trusts in his abilities yet lacks proficiency in the most important fundamentals. This overconfidence results in the ''Sonichu'' comics looking like they were drawn by a grade-schooler.

Chris started out with a cartoony style for the comic book, full of techniques consistent with early efforts at drawing by small children. Things changed as Chris got into [[anime]] and manga, and sought to emulate them to impress his [[gal-pal]] at the time, [[Megan Schroeder]]. Like many amateur western artists, he copies only the surface elements of the anime style: big eyes, pentagonal heads, speed lines, emotions. These elements were simply laid over his original "style" with no adjustment, and did nothing to improve the quality of his work.

[[File:Michiru and Haruka translated art2.jpg|thumb|This woman has three elbows.]]

Chris has no understanding of classical anatomy, proportion in figure drawing, or even basic form. His characters are drawn using simple shapes – colored-in outlines, without any shading, ''ever'' – and even so, he is unable to keep the shapes consistent to any degree. These shapes rarely have any form at all, leading to characters having a "cardboard cutout" quality to them: head-on body with a slightly turned head. Though he lacks the skills to make even decent simple poses, Chris has the balls to attempt foreshortening on occasion- with disastrous results.
[[File:ChrisDislocatedWrists.png|thumb|right|In his hastiness to draw [[Giant Penis Comic|pornography]] of himself and [[Ivy]], Chris seems to have forgotten that wrists and forearms are incapable of twisting in such a way without causing serious and extremely painful dislocation injuries.]]
[[File:Billy mays hand.png|thumb|left|Something's not right with this picture...]]

Characters have no set proportions: limbs morph, heads change size, and faces become unrecognizable; it's only by the color scheme that we can guess which character is which. For example, in the opening of [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], [[Sonichu and Rosechu's Children|the children]] tend to noticeably get deformed in a different manner in each panel, despite the fact that they're drawn as just an oval for the head, a rectangle for the body, and smaller ovals for the arms and legs. Just to be sure we know who's who (a job that is taken care of by the artwork in any normal comic) Chris sometimes relies on labelling characters with text and arrows. Beyond his [[Heterochromia|differently-colored eyes]] and [[Sonichu medallion]], no two Chrises have ever looked alike, or even remotely resembled the actual Chris. The character sizes are also inconsistent, which is strange considering most of the characters appear to be about the same size: in most drawings where Sonichu is carrying Rosechu, Rosechu seems to shrink.

[[Image:ProportionFail.jpg|thumb|Chris is an expert at proportion.]]

Finer details of human anatomy have long escaped him; because Chris never draws women with pronounced hips, the results tend to resemble children or men (such as with the character [[Lovely Weather]]), with unfortunate implications in either case. Chris also doesn't seem to realize that drawing techniques that work in other media might not work in cartoons. For example, he sometimes draws himself with almond-shaped eyes. While no real person's eyelids are perfectly circular like a cartoon character, cartoonists generally reserve non-circular eyes for Asian characters.

[[Image:Son-ChuVehicle.jpg|thumb|This car will either always veer left or never run at all.]]

Despite boasting that his "drawings of perspective viewpoints are surpassive [sic]"<ref>[[Miyamoto Saga]]</ref> due to his training in [[CADD]], Chris constantly fails at perspective, with objects implied to be far-away depicted too large. This is evident in his many [[Son-Chu|vehicle designs]], where the front is usually a direct frontal (90 degree) view, regardless of the view angle of other sides. This inability to demonstrate parallel lines renders the car distorted. The lack of any concept of shading only further destroys any semblance of perspective; legs that are implied to be bent forward at the knee only end up looking shorter.

Possibly the worst offender is Chris's constant omission of backgrounds. Most scenes happen only on the white backdrop of the paper. Readers are apparently supposed to infer what the background looks like based on context, similar to some daily newspaper comic strips. Thus, simply drawing a wide-angle shot of the scenery as the first (usually transitional) panel in a scene would suffice. Combined with his inability to make a proper layout, many action scenes end up becoming a jumble of characters moving around without regards to sequence. The reason he does this is probably the same as the reason why he textwalls so often: to "save marker ink," meaning he's lazy. (Incidentally, the proper use of white space and the conservation of painted space is a key element in East Asian art, but despite his anime obsession he is unlikely to have heard of this).

A related phenomenon is simply drawing characters as floating disembodied heads. The [[Magi-chan|deus ex machina/exposition machine]] is the biggest victim of this. Once again, Chris couldn't bother to draw a full body. Thus, combining all known forms of "marker ink conservation", some pages are just a bunch of literal talking heads speaking walls of text.

Chris owns at least one book about drawing manga, as seen in [[My Half of A Whole New World for Kacey]]. The book in itself covers everything to do with portraying couples, including images of couples in bed making love. Whether Chris bought it to better draw out his delusional fantasies or for more material to [[mass debate]] to isn't known, but either way, the book taught him nothing.

=== Character design ===
See also: [[Chris and writing#Characterization|Written characterization]]

A large portion of the ''Sonichu'' cast is clearly derivative of existing characters. In addition to the obvious ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' recolors, Chris has lifted designs from any anime, video game, or even Western animation he is fond of, with no regard for visual consistency.

Beyond that, he doesn't even bother trying to design better clothing for his characters. Most of them wear stereotypical "basic" clothing, and Chris himself wears his usual [[clown shirt]]s and pants. With the sole exception of [[Megan Schroeder|Meg-chan]], every female that shows up in his comics wears high-heeled dress shoes.

Even when the source of Chris's plagiarism is readily apparent, these lifts can still add up to less than the sum of their parts. Inspired by the fusion characters of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' and ''[[God of War]]'', [[Collosal Chan]] looks more like a hobo than a fusion of Chris and Chris-Chan Sonichu. Though clearly, his own effort to design baby [[Pokémon]], [[Sonee and Rosey]] look more unnerving than adorable.

===Fan (dis)service===
[[File:SchuComic9Page32-E.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Insta-boner.]]
{{quote|I am not a gorey artist; just accept the Fan Service of panty-shots and get over yourselves.|<ref>[[Mailbag 45#Chris' hormones + Rosechu's ass = Fan service]]</ref>}}
{{w|Fan service}} is a term used to describe something that is meant to tease or please the audience. It can refer to any content seen as an effort to appease the desires of fans, but for the sake of this section, it's used primarily to describe scenes of a sexually titillating nature.

Since his discovery by the Internet, Chris has inserted increasingly large amounts of fan service into the initially tame ''Sonichu'' in an effort to assert the heterosexuality of himself and his characters. The range of fan service in ''Sonichu'' includes panty shots, Rosechu's [[women's rights|stripping]], cameltoe indentations, and even a full [[Sonichu 8#Episode 17|sex scene]] followed by four pages of text and diagrams describing Sonichu and Rosechu's sexual anatomy.

[[File:Battery-Charge Heart intro.jpg|thumb|left|150px|He made sure to draw [[Battery-Charge Heart]]'s skirt so short, we can see the carpet matches the drapes.]]
Due to his lack of artistic faculties, much of Chris's depictions of sexuality are highly unsettling to most readers. Any attempts to add "sexy" material come across as Chris's own wish-fulfillment or self-interest, rather than attempts by Chris to please his audience.

While the point of fan service is to hint at sexuality in an otherwise clean work meant for general audiences, ''Sonichu'''s sexual content hides nothing and disturbs many, despite the fact that Chris has always viewed ''Sonichu'' as a comic intended for children. Chris tried to justify putting panty shots in a children's comic by saying... {{quote|Children will likely be seeing the same things in real life, so mellow out and let them learn a bit, and further educate the children with discussions.|Children will be seeing furry porn in real life.<ref>[[Mailbag_47#Children_will_be_seeing_furry_porn_in_real_life]]</ref>}}

==Strong points==
Chris is far from the worst artist ever; there are several strong points to his work that set him apart from other poor artists.
===Color choices and coordination===
Chris does get color coordination. Most of the color schemes he uses in his work look decent. Being Chris, he still fails occasionally, such as with the [[CWCipedia]] color scheme. Still, color is one of his few strong points, at least compared to the rest of his art style. As evidenced by most of his websites, custom console skins, and a good chunk of his character designs, Chris's favorite colors appear to be yellow and blue. That color combination is hard to get wrong, which is why so many cartoon characters (from the Simpsons to SpongeBob) have yellow skin. Chris also appears to be fond of the [[USA|red, white, and blue]] compliment, judging by his [[The Classic|trademark polo shirt]].

Despite excelling in this fundamental field, Chris does struggle with coloring [[rainbow]]s in the correct order of ROYGBIV.

===Dexterity===
Despite his awkward pen grip, Chris seems to have a mostly steady hand. His penmanship is neat and legible, and most of his mistakes stem from writing the wrong letter and scribbling/doctoring it into the right one, instead of any kind of actual handwriting disorder. His most recent driver's license signature appears to be quite flourished and feminine. Many artists with unorthodox hand techniques claim their grips can actually give them more control over the pen, and even trained calligraphers don't always stick to the standard grip that most are taught in kindergarten.

Chris never seemed to struggle in the dexterity department – he can write and draw more neatly than folks with poor {{w|fine motor skills}}. He doesn't have an issue with other activities requiring dexterity, such as typing or playing [[video games]]. The [[autism papers]] don't even mention poor fine motor coordination, which is relatively common (but not universal) among autistics. Even [[autism|our own article on Chris's diagnosis]] doesn't touch his dexterity, only his {{w|gross motor skills}}. '''For once, Chris's autism isn't the culprit!'''

If Chris actually took his time and learned patience, his line work could be phenomenal.

===Reach===
''See also: [[Warhol / Chris Chan]]''

Chris has undoubtedly become a pop culture phenomenon, while many other artists who spent decades refining their craft can go their entire lives without selling many paintings – or any at all. ''Looking at [[medallions]] alone,'' Chris has sold more works than Frida Kahlo even ''produced'' in her lifetime. Chris's works have been referenced in master theses, published essays, and other academic media countless times. Judging by artists like Van Gogh or Warhol, GodBear knows if Chris's works will end up in a museum some time after his [[Chris and death|passing]]. The fact that people are compelled to look at Chris's work at all speaks volumes.

===Is art even ''Sonichu's'' main failing?===
{{main|Chris and writing}}

Complex drawing is not mandatory for making a good comic. Chris's art style is arguably more complex than the style Charles Schulz used for ''Peanuts''. ''{{w|Diary of a Wimpy Kid}}'' and ''{{w|xkcd}}'' get the job done with simple stick figures. Some artistically challenged cartoonists will even ditch the pen for a nice camera to create a {{w|photo comic}}. These genres might not carry museum-quality art, but the cartoonists generally make up for it with clever writing.

However, ''Sonichu'' doesn't even have that to fall back on. Chris does no preparatory writing or preliminary revision; his narrative is wholly improvised and shifts regularly. He cannot write clear, succinct dialogue, and he has little regard for visual clarity.

He doesn't understand how graphic novels are supposed to work as a narrative through sequential images, and instead presents the series more like a storyboard for a hypothetical television series. As a whole, the series has excessive dialogue, something better suited for a novel or television script. It often uses literal phrases (e.g., "cuts grass") as a substitute for visual action and/or comic onomatopoeia. Chris divides each volume of ''Sonichu'' into "episodes", a concept popular in TV land, but unheard of in the comic book industry. Perhaps Chris isn't interested in art or comics – he's just interested in ''Sonichu''.

==Chris and digital art==
[[File:Sonichuipaddrawing2020.jpg|thumb|200px|[[CWC-isms#hand-drawing|A blocky and low-resolution]][[Spirit possession| self portrait]]: Chris's foray into iPad art.]]

Much like his opinions on [[Chris and drugs#Alcohol|alcohol]], [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ folks]], [[List of things Chris has shoved up his ass|butt play]], and the holy [[HEXBox]], Chris's thoughts on digital art have evolved from outright bashing to a much more open outlook.

===During the classic era===
In the early 2000s, Chris was somewhat open to the digital arts. He created [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in a high school computer graphics class, and he would brag and boast about his [[CADD]] major. Things changed soon after.

Chris would often state that using new technology creatively provides an unfair advantage in the service of inferior results. Repeatedly, he has called ''[[Asperchu]]'' "blocky and low resolution" because it was drawn with a tablet, this is most likely because Chris thinks that doing digital art instead of the traditional way makes results comparable to poor MS Paint drawings that are more familiar with him. In one of his [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 1|phone calls to Alec Benson Leary]], Chris said his hand-drawn art had "more character" (never mind that tablet art is technically hand-drawn art anyway).

===A change of heart: Chris gets an iPad===
Chris began opening up to digital media in the 2010s. In [[May 2020]], during his phase of [[role-play]]ing as [[Sonichu]], Chris used his [[COVID-19]] Economic Impact Payment check on an iPad, software, and accessories for drawing digital art. He attempted a drawing of Sonichu, and he complained about how hard the software was to use.<ref>[[May 2020 social media posts#Chris gets an iPad]]</ref>

===Will Chris switch to digital?===
On 14 [[July 2021]], Chris tagged the Crayola company in a Twitter thread, complaining about inconsistencies between similar- and same-colored markers.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1415466170271010818</ref>

A Twitter user asked Chris if he would switch to digital art, stating "it might be better for you in the long run". Instead of defending his marker-on-paper style like usual, he responded favorably:

{{quote|Eventually, likely so. I have been so very busy to totally find my niche with a tablet and stylus pen setup. Sonichu gave my body a conscious start on the setup with the iPad, but that’s a major Gonna need more free time to practice with it. I haven’t found the right timing yet|Chris <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1415762053755723777</ref>}}

Notably, Chris admitted that digital art takes effort, and he seems willing to make the switch in the future after some practice. Time will tell if he does so, now that he has been freed from jail.

==Chris's other artistic media==

Drawing may be Chris's medium of choice, but he's dabbled in others.

===3D Media===
[[File:Med_59_A.png|thumb|150px|One of the replica medals]]
Chris has produced a line of Sonichu [[medallions]], made out of [[CHRIS!!! CHANDLER!!!|Crayola fuckin' Model Magic and acrylic paint]]. In [[September 2014]], Chris started selling replicas of his handcrafted medals, produced to various qualities.

He has made [[Sonichu Amiibo]] by Frankensteining multiple Amiibos together and crudely painting them.

Another 3D piece is his [[Sonic Totem]] from middle school, which sold on [[eBay]] for $1500 USD.

===Photography and Videography===
{{Main|Chris and cinematography}}

===Animation===
Chris at one point tried taking up a new medium in the form of animation. Using the Nintendo DSi program ''[[Flipnote Hatena|Flipnote Studio]]'', Chris took his drawing to a whole new level...or least, he could have. His drawing degraded greatly when doing artwork here, mostly due to using the DS's stylus pen. When doing animations, his characters have very little fluid movement to them and they seem to [[jerk]] and wobble, as if they're characters from ''[[CWCFlyingElephants|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'' or ''[[Adult Swim|Home Movies]]''. The best one to tell of this is the [[Don'tGetTrolled!]] animation; you can tell which part was animated by Chris and which part was animated by the original author, 8-Bit, because Chris's artwork just wobbles in a distorted fashion.

===Music===
{{Main|Chris and music}}

===Sewing===
[[File:Cwc_sewing3.jpeg|thumb|150px|Chris the seamstress.]]

Chris "restored" [[The Classic|his classic striped shirt]] himself before attempting to sell it. As said shirt spent three years in a water-filled trash bag and was damaged beyond repairability, it didn't work out that well.

===Spray-painting===
{{Main|Shoe Colouring}}

===Costume Design===
{{Main|Chris and cosplaying}}
Continuing his trend of using the cheapest materials possible while incorporating only the vaguest of likenesses, Chris's foray in cosplay is par for the course with his hand-drawings. They're poorly made, not thought out, and Chris likely believes they're professional quality.

==Originality and plagiarism==
{{Main|Things Chris has ripped off}}
{{see also|Chris and copyright|Parody}}

When it comes to originality, Chris has absolutely none.

''Sonichu'' is a fine blend of Chris's personal life and a wide variety of recognizable copyrighted elements. Just about any existing medium that Chris has ever expressed a fondness for appears in some capacity.

Chris has a long history of claiming all credit for fan characters initially acknowledged as being created by others and offered for use in Chris's comics. The first of these were [[Megagi]], [[Jiggliami]], and [[Layla]], but the most infamous instance, and the one that Chris defended the most fervently, was [[Simonla Rosechu]].

At the same time, Chris once had a policy of threatening nonexistent legal action against the creators of any ''Sonichu'' fan art he could find, and was worked into a [[12 January 2010|magnificent rage]] over the ''Sonichu''-derivative fan [[parody]] ''Asperchu''.

As well, Chris has gone so far as to take a video, the aforementioned [[Don'tGetTrolled!]], and alter it to suit his needs. Now, granted, there were other videos done using that same video, but where they just altered the stick character or sped up the video in the same vein as a [[Random-access humor|YouTube Poop]], Chris completely and utterly altered the video to suit his needs so that a humorous song about [[trolling]] is turned into Chris's mouthpiece to destroy Freedom of Speech to make the Internet safer for him.

==Art gallery==
===High school art===
Seen below is a selection of Chris's public school art assignments, from a slideshow on Chris's homemade [[DVD]]. At his high school graduation, Chris expected to be "Highly Recognized" for his "ARTISTIC TALENT", represented in this body of work. When he was not, he cried.<ref>[[Manchester High School#Graduation]]</ref> This work was produced under the supervision of a professional art instructor and the incentive for Chris to give each piece more thought, care and attention than he now prefers to when creating only for his own satisfaction. Despite this, they're still terrible. Note that some readers may find several of these images inadvertently terrifying.

===Tracing===
'''Tracing''' is an art technique where another piece of art, in whole or part, is copied along with its outlines. As a means of producing original art claimed as one's own, tracing is a form of plagiarism.

Images traced from existing copyrighted content appear regularly in ''Sonichu''. Chris traces with the Reflecta Sketch, a long-discontinued toy tracing kit produced by Spin Master. The kit comes with a reflective piece of plastic where an original can be placed to the left and the reflection is used for tracing an outline. This is why most traced images in ''Sonichu'' are mirror images of the original work. Due to their poor quality, consistent in appearance with ''Sonichu'' art that is not traced, these traced images often go unnoticed as tracing. The fact that Chris fails even at tracing is a surprise to no one.

Alternatively, Chris uses these images as references and simply tries to draw images free-hand based on them. This is no worse than directly tracing the outlines, but better explains why his results are so distorted in respect to their references. Chris probably uses a combination of both techniques (as some images look closer to their originals than others), showing an utter lack of skill and originality either way.

The coveted art award at his high school [[Manchester_High_School#Graduation|graduation]] would have lost a crap ton of prestige had it been awarded to a cheater like Chris.

===Rule 34===
{{Honest}}
[[Image:Chris and Rule 34.jpg|thumb|Chris's creations believe that his [[Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack|Rule 34]] artwork is "lifelike".]]
Chris has no shame, and neither does his artwork. Of his many sexually explicit drawings, the most damning one of all is [[ShecameforCWC.JPG]], which brought an end to the Megan Saga and cemented the notion that Chris was an incestuous [[pedofork]].

[[File:TingsArt1.png|thumb|left|Some sexually provacative art from [[Tings Tingz]] that Chris had actually approved of.]]

As seen in this gallery, Chris can't even copy bad porn to save his life, with Rosechu turning into a deformed monstrosity in each panel, all for the sake of [[sex]]. Especially noticeable is the final picture, which shows off a recurring trend in his pictures: the "Glowing Cunt", in which Chris draws the "[[cum]]" from the woman ''around'' and ''outside'' the vagina instead of from the inside, making it appear to glow, or inhabit heavenly clouds.

It can be reasonably assumed that all of the images in this gallery are traced, and that those not paired plagiarized source material simply have yet to have their "inspirations" discovered.

[[File:MyMindIsABlank.jpg|thumb|''[[January 2015 Facebook posts#He Hasn't Forgotten Us!|My Mind Is a Blank]]'', January 2015]]

[[File:CWCPeterPaulRubens.png|thumb|How Chris sees his self-portraits.]]

'''Art''' has been, and always will be, Chris's selling point. Chris has been involved with some form of art or another throughout his life. He has taken numerous art and design classes in [[high school]], and he holds a degree in [[CADD|computer-aided drafting and design]]. But despite his extensive education in the visual arts (and relative lack of other discernible skills), his style is quite unique, to say the least.

Ever since the very day [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] found out about Chris's creation of [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], many people have taken interest in Chris because of his infamously bad artwork. Ironically, his crude creative abilities are what made him stand out as an artist. ''Sonichu'' wouldn't be ''Sonichu'' without Chris's art. Encouraging Chris to produce more of it remains a popular objective amongst [[troll]]s and [[ween]]s.

==Before we get started with today's critique...==
It can be easy to simply write off Chris as a bad artist without asking why. But of course, visual art is subjective – there are a multitude of reasons ''why'' someone might not like a particular work, and there are bound to be people who will like it. Different styles suit different artists (and viewers), and realism isn't exactly the gold standard of good art. The fact that people [[commissions|commission]] Chris is proof that he isn't objectively a failed artist. After all, he sold more art than Van Gogh ever did in his lifetime.

Chris is no [[naive]] artist – he took art classes throughout his schooling. He is most likely familiar with the process of artistic critiques in an academic setting. This article will reflect that process.

Instead of outright praising or bashing Chris's art, this critique will offer constructive criticism. It will examine strong and weak points of Chris's art in an objective, taste-neutral manner. It will examine all media but place special emphasis on his most proficient medium: drawing. The article will also consider the context of Chris's art. Finally, it will consider ways he has improved his craft, aspects that can be improved, and techniques he is outright unwilling to improve.

==Weak points==

===Exercise of skills and improvement in craft===
[[Image:0025-ChristophersMicroMornings.jpg|thumb|left|Not bad for a grade-schooler.]]

Chris does not seem to consider his artistic skill in need of revision; he is always fully satisfied by the first attempt at a drawing he makes. Naturally, being an artist of that caliber, Chris takes it upon himself to criticize the art that his [[True and Loyal Fanbase]] send to him, and is quick to point out the myriad of "flaws" in each work.<ref>[[Ivy Q&A#After Emily]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Personal Sonichu Presentation#Part 2]]</ref>

Chris has said he spends "an hour at most" drawing a comic page and about a half-hour coloring it.<ref>[[Mailbag 2#In which Chris insults someone who drew a picture for him]]</ref> He does not seem to be aware of the fact that producing the kind of high-quality artwork that fans expect in a good comic strip is very labor-intensive and can easily take hours, sometimes days, even with professional software programs like Photoshop. He also doesn't seem to understand, or care, that any good artist will draw a scene multiple times before they publish it, especially if there are mistakes. In pretty much any episode of ''Sonichu'', you will be sure to find at least one mistake Chris has made that he refuses to redo and simply colors over. One good example is the scene from Chris and Ivy [[Giant Penis Comic|going to a hotel for hanky-panky]].<ref>[[:File:SchuComicSP3P5.jpg]]</ref> If you look at the scene, you can see multiple mistakes that any artist would have seen as a reason to redo the picture. Chris started to draw his balls (via tracing), but decided he didn't like the proportions that presented, so he decided to keep the start of the trace and just add some "speed lines". If you look at the picture of Ivy you will see that Chris messed up a bit around her face but decided that instead of redoing it, he'd just color over it. He also messed up a bit on her right breast; he drew one too small and decided to make it bigger, by just adding another curved line.

At times, he would expand ''Sonichu'' stories in summary form on [[CWCipedia]], a medium better equipped to keep up with his racing, easily distracted imagination. Everything he says or writes, he considers being a part of his comic's continuity partly because it is easier to record these euphoric and fleeting bouts of inspiration as they occur rather than days, weeks, months, or even years later in comic form.

Chris's art ''has'' improved in recent years: compare the original [[Sonichu 0]] cover to his later covers. The amount in which he has improved, though, is up for debate.

===Choices of materials and technology===
[[File:July14MarkerPhoto.jpg|thumb|Chris's tools.]]

Chris believes that his so-called "hand-drawn style" is superior to art produced by any other means. This is due to Chris's hatred to change what he has already learned and his belief, as a consequence of his [[ego]], that his method is the best by virtue of being his.

Obviously, Chris's skill cannot compensate for the poor materials he uses. He does his work a disservice by using tools that are the cheapest available: copy paper, Pentel RSVP ballpoint pens, and Crayola washable markers.<ref>[[Mumble 7#10:21 Another fan asks about art supplies|Mumble #7]]</ref> These happen to be the tools he has used since childhood.

Far from archival quality, his art has sometimes shown [[Wedding Comic|signs of wrinkling]] as soon as it has been finished. Chris has defended his practice of [[Chris and writing#Dialogue|rampant textwalling]] as a way to "save marker ink."<ref>[[Mailbag 19]]</ref>

When Chris wants to alter a panel, but does not want to put in the effort to redraw the entire page, his method to fix it is to draw a piece on another page, cut it out, and glue it over the original drawing. This can be seen in revisions to [[Sonichu 15]].

While Chris has claimed at various times to use {{w|Adobe Photoshop}} to create his characters and edit his comics,<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu#Conception_and_Creation Sonichu's Conception and Creation], archived from [[CWCipedia]].</ref><ref>[[Miyamoto emails#Please Give Me $800]]</ref><ref>[[Chris's resume#Experience]]</ref> he has only ever been seen using {{w|Adobe PhotoDeluxe}},<ref>The Adobe PhotoDeluxe name can be seen on the taskbar of Chris's computer at 0:13 in [[Clyde's Buddy Matt Getting SUPER-LAID!!!]].</ref><ref>Chris offered PhotoDeluxe advice to [[The Wallflower]] in [[Wallflower E-mails 2]].</ref> with which he created his [[Clyde's Buddy Matt Getting SUPER-LAID!!!|slanderous head-swap]] of [[Clyde Cash|Clyde]]'s buddy Matt. This is in spite of the fact that PhotoDeluxe is intended for scanning and touching up photographs, and Photoshop (which Chris claims to own) would be better suited for the kind of general-purpose image editing and head-swapping that Chris does. In addition, PhotoDeluxe is a fossil of a program that hasn't been supported by Adobe since [[2002]]. Chris's claim in [[Mailbag 3]] that he uses "a past version" of Photoshop<ref>[[Mailbag 3#Art questions]]</ref> could imply that he is [[Slow-in-the-minds|confusing PhotoDeluxe for a part of the Photoshop line]], or that, if he really does use Photoshop, the revision he owns is just as woefully out-of-date as his ancient PhotoDeluxe program.

Chris's font of choice for most of the ''Sonichu'' comics was {{w|Comic Sans}}, a font almost universally condemned for being overused, childish, unprofessional, and ugly; serious designers generally only use it as a last resort or for ironic effect, since better handwritten fonts are available for purchase.<ref>[http://bancomicsans.com Ban the Comic Sans]</ref><ref>[http://achewood.com/index.php?date=07052007 They will make you taste the curb]</ref> However, starting from [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]] onward, he switched to Proxima Nova.

===Drawing techniques===
[[File:CChanDraws.jpg|thumb|Strange pen grips can be corrected with the assistance of school teachers. Chris slept through these lessons.]]
Chris has never even learned to hold a pen correctly. Instead of holding the front of the pen with the thumb and forefinger, he draws with his index finger sticking out and bent around the pen. Give this a try and see how long it takes for you to get carpal tunnel.

In [[CWC - Hand Drawn Original]] (2009) and [[Live Drawing Streams]] (2017), Chris demonstrated his drawing technique on video.

[[File:Chris pen grip 2019.jpg|Wearing gym gloves while drawing.|thumb]]

During 2019, Chris hampered his ability further by wearing his gym gloves while drawing.

{{quote|I don’t want to deal with the constant pencil sharpening and all that trash.|Chris giving one of his reasons for why he uses a pen for line art<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20191108234140/https://twitter.com/cwcsonichu/status/1001562775209086976</ref>.}}

While most artists will produce multiple sketch versions of a single drawing, often layered on top of one another, Chris is so confident in his innate artistic ability that his first step in a page of ''Sonichu'' is drawing the final line art in pen before coloring it in with Crayola markers. If he makes a mistake, he shrugs it off and continues. There is no post-processing beyond adding text to word balloons with MS Paint and PhotoDeluxe. Attempts to inform him that digital coloring is more efficient and far less expensive than wasting gallons of marker ink filling in monocolor backgrounds have failed.

===Visual style and most artistic fundamentals===
[[Image:099-CWCsCWC.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Nice arms you got there, Chris.]]
[[File:SchuComic12-1P106.jpg|thumb|Try and work out what's meant to be happening here.]]
{{Quote|sonichu had kind of a kiddy art style, which i guess was your point. [...] i thought you meant it as an avant-garde thing, to make a statment like, ironically bad|[[Jackie]]<ref>[[Jackie Chat 2]]</ref>}}

Before the comics, Chris attempted realism for work in oil pastel, charcoal, and graphite, presumably for art classes in school. The results can be seen in the gallery below. While he did spend some time in high school taking art classes, most professional artists heavily study artistic fundamentals before venturing off into the territory of stylization. Without knowing how things appear in reality, it is difficult to distort properties to an aesthetically pleasing effect. Chris trusts in his abilities yet lacks proficiency in the most important fundamentals. This overconfidence results in the ''Sonichu'' comics looking like they were drawn by a grade-schooler.

Chris started out with a cartoony style for the comic book, full of techniques consistent with early efforts at drawing by small children. Things changed as Chris got into [[anime]] and manga, and sought to emulate them to impress his [[gal-pal]] at the time, [[Megan Schroeder]]. Like many amateur western artists, he copies only the surface elements of the anime style: big eyes, pentagonal heads, speed lines, emotions. These elements were simply laid over his original "style" with no adjustment, and did nothing to improve the quality of his work.

[[File:Michiru and Haruka translated art2.jpg|thumb|This woman has three elbows.]]

Chris has no understanding of classical anatomy, proportion in figure drawing, or even basic form. His characters are drawn using simple shapes – colored-in outlines, without any shading, ''ever'' – and even so, he is unable to keep the shapes consistent to any degree. These shapes rarely have any form at all, leading to characters having a "cardboard cutout" quality to them: head-on body with a slightly turned head. Though he lacks the skills to make even decent simple poses, Chris has the balls to attempt foreshortening on occasion- with disastrous results.
[[File:ChrisDislocatedWrists.png|thumb|right|In his hastiness to draw [[Giant Penis Comic|pornography]] of himself and [[Ivy]], Chris seems to have forgotten that wrists and forearms are incapable of twisting in such a way without causing serious and extremely painful dislocation injuries.]]
[[File:Billy mays hand.png|thumb|left|Something's not right with this picture...]]

Characters have no set proportions: limbs morph, heads change size, and faces become unrecognizable; it's only by the color scheme that we can guess which character is which. For example, in the opening of [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], [[Sonichu and Rosechu's Children|the children]] tend to noticeably get deformed in a different manner in each panel, despite the fact that they're drawn as just an oval for the head, a rectangle for the body, and smaller ovals for the arms and legs. Just to be sure we know who's who (a job that is taken care of by the artwork in any normal comic) Chris sometimes relies on labelling characters with text and arrows. Beyond his [[Heterochromia|differently-colored eyes]] and [[Sonichu medallion]], no two Chrises have ever looked alike, or even remotely resembled the actual Chris. The character sizes are also inconsistent, which is strange considering most of the characters appear to be about the same size: in most drawings where Sonichu is carrying Rosechu, Rosechu seems to shrink.

[[Image:ProportionFail.jpg|thumb|Chris is an expert at proportion.]]

Finer details of human anatomy have long escaped him; because Chris never draws women with pronounced hips, the results tend to resemble children or men (such as with the character [[Lovely Weather]]), with unfortunate implications in either case. Chris also doesn't seem to realize that drawing techniques that work in other media might not work in cartoons. For example, he sometimes draws himself with almond-shaped eyes. While no real person's eyelids are perfectly circular like a cartoon character, cartoonists generally reserve non-circular eyes for Asian characters.

[[Image:Son-ChuVehicle.jpg|thumb|This car will either always veer left or never run at all.]]

Despite boasting that his "drawings of perspective viewpoints are surpassive [sic]"<ref>[[Miyamoto Saga]]</ref> due to his training in [[CADD]], Chris constantly fails at perspective, with objects implied to be far-away depicted too large. This is evident in his many [[Son-Chu|vehicle designs]], where the front is usually a direct frontal (90 degree) view, regardless of the view angle of other sides. This inability to demonstrate parallel lines renders the car distorted. The lack of any concept of shading only further destroys any semblance of perspective; legs that are implied to be bent forward at the knee only end up looking shorter.

Possibly the worst offender is Chris's constant omission of backgrounds. Most scenes happen only on the white backdrop of the paper. Readers are apparently supposed to infer what the background looks like based on context, similar to some daily newspaper comic strips. Thus, simply drawing a wide-angle shot of the scenery as the first (usually transitional) panel in a scene would suffice. Combined with his inability to make a proper layout, many action scenes end up becoming a jumble of characters moving around without regards to sequence. The reason he does this is probably the same as the reason why he textwalls so often: to "save marker ink," meaning he's lazy. (Incidentally, the proper use of white space and the conservation of painted space is a key element in East Asian art, but despite his anime obsession he is unlikely to have heard of this).

A related phenomenon is simply drawing characters as floating disembodied heads. The [[Magi-chan|deus ex machina/exposition machine]] is the biggest victim of this. Once again, Chris couldn't bother to draw a full body. Thus, combining all known forms of "marker ink conservation", some pages are just a bunch of literal talking heads speaking walls of text.

Chris owns at least one book about drawing manga, as seen in [[My Half of A Whole New World for Kacey]]. The book in itself covers everything to do with portraying couples, including images of couples in bed making love. Whether Chris bought it to better draw out his delusional fantasies or for more material to [[mass debate]] to isn't known, but either way, the book taught him nothing.

=== Character design ===
See also: [[Chris and writing#Characterization|Written characterization]]

A large portion of the ''Sonichu'' cast is clearly derivative of existing characters. In addition to the obvious ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' recolors, Chris has lifted designs from any anime, video game, or even Western animation he is fond of, with no regard for visual consistency.

Beyond that, he doesn't even bother trying to design better clothing for his characters. Most of them wear stereotypical "basic" clothing, and Chris himself wears his usual [[clown shirt]]s and pants. With the sole exception of [[Megan Schroeder|Meg-chan]], every female that shows up in his comics wears high-heeled dress shoes.

Even when the source of Chris's plagiarism is readily apparent, these lifts can still add up to less than the sum of their parts. Inspired by the fusion characters of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' and ''[[God of War]]'', [[Collosal Chan]] looks more like a hobo than a fusion of Chris and Chris-Chan Sonichu. Though clearly, his own effort to design baby [[Pokémon]], [[Sonee and Rosey]] look more unnerving than adorable.

===Fan (dis)service===
[[File:SchuComic9Page32-E.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Insta-boner.]]
{{quote|I am not a gorey artist; just accept the Fan Service of panty-shots and get over yourselves.|<ref>[[Mailbag 45#Chris' hormones + Rosechu's ass = Fan service]]</ref>}}
{{w|Fan service}} is a term used to describe something that is meant to tease or please the audience. It can refer to any content seen as an effort to appease the desires of fans, but for the sake of this section, it's used primarily to describe scenes of a sexually titillating nature.

Since his discovery by the Internet, Chris has inserted increasingly large amounts of fan service into the initially tame ''Sonichu'' in an effort to assert the heterosexuality of himself and his characters. The range of fan service in ''Sonichu'' includes panty shots, Rosechu's [[women's rights|stripping]], cameltoe indentations, and even a full [[Sonichu 8#Episode 17|sex scene]] followed by four pages of text and diagrams describing Sonichu and Rosechu's sexual anatomy.

[[File:Battery-Charge Heart intro.jpg|thumb|left|150px|He made sure to draw [[Battery-Charge Heart]]'s skirt so short, we can see the carpet matches the drapes.]]
Due to his lack of artistic faculties, much of Chris's depictions of sexuality are highly unsettling to most readers. Any attempts to add "sexy" material come across as Chris's own wish-fulfillment or self-interest, rather than attempts by Chris to please his audience.

While the point of fan service is to hint at sexuality in an otherwise clean work meant for general audiences, ''Sonichu'''s sexual content hides nothing and disturbs many, despite the fact that Chris has always viewed ''Sonichu'' as a comic intended for children. Chris tried to justify putting panty shots in a children's comic by saying... {{quote|Children will likely be seeing the same things in real life, so mellow out and let them learn a bit, and further educate the children with discussions.|Children will be seeing furry porn in real life.<ref>[[Mailbag_47#Children_will_be_seeing_furry_porn_in_real_life]]</ref>}}

==Strong points==
Chris is far from the worst artist ever; there are several strong points to his work that set him apart from other poor artists.
===Color choices and coordination===
Chris does get color coordination. Most of the color schemes he uses in his work look decent. Being Chris, he still fails occasionally, such as with the [[CWCipedia]] color scheme. Still, color is one of his few strong points, at least compared to the rest of his art style. As evidenced by most of his websites, custom console skins, and a good chunk of his character designs, Chris's favorite colors appear to be yellow and blue. That color combination is hard to get wrong, which is why so many cartoon characters (from the Simpsons to SpongeBob) have yellow skin. Chris also appears to be fond of the [[USA|red, white, and blue]] compliment, judging by his [[The Classic|trademark polo shirt]].

Despite excelling in this fundamental field, Chris does struggle with coloring [[rainbow]]s in the correct order of ROYGBIV.

===Dexterity===
Despite his awkward pen grip, Chris seems to have a mostly steady hand. His penmanship is neat and legible, and most of his mistakes stem from writing the wrong letter and scribbling/doctoring it into the right one, instead of any kind of actual handwriting disorder. His most recent driver's license signature appears to be quite flourished and feminine. Many artists with unorthodox hand techniques claim their grips can actually give them more control over the pen, and even trained calligraphers don't always stick to the standard grip taught to them in kindergarten.

Chris never seemed to struggle in the dexterity department – he can write and draw more neatly than folks with poor {{w|fine motor skills}}. He doesn't have an issue with other activities requiring dexterity, such as typing or playing [[video games]]. The [[autism papers]] don't even mention poor fine motor coordination, which is relatively common (but not universal) among autistics. Even [[autism|our own article on Chris's diagnosis]] doesn't touch his dexterity, only his {{w|gross motor skills}}. '''For once, Chris's autism isn't the culprit!'''

If Chris actually took his time and learned patience, his line work could be phenomenal.

===Reach===
''See also: [[Warhol / Chris Chan]]''

Chris has undoubtedly become a pop culture phenomenon, while many other artists who spent decades refining their craft can go their entire lives without selling many paintings – or any at all. ''Looking at [[medallions]] alone,'' Chris has sold more works than Frida Kahlo even ''produced'' in her lifetime. Chris's works have been referenced in master theses, published essays, and other academic media countless times. Judging by artists like Van Gogh or Warhol, GodBear knows if Chris's works will end up in a museum some time after his [[Chris and death|passing]]. The fact that people are compelled to look at Chris's work at all speaks volumes.

===Is art even ''Sonichu's'' main failing?===
{{main|Chris and writing}}

Complex drawing is not mandatory for making a good comic. Chris's art style is arguably more complex than the style Charles Schulz used for ''Peanuts''. ''{{w|Diary of a Wimpy Kid}}'' and ''{{w|xkcd}}'' get the job done with simple stick figures. Some artistically challenged cartoonists will even ditch the pen for a nice camera to create a {{w|photo comic}}. These genres might not carry museum-quality art, but the cartoonists generally make up for it with clever writing.

However, ''Sonichu'' doesn't even have that to fall back on. Chris does no preparatory writing or preliminary revision; his narrative is wholly improvised and shifts regularly. He cannot write clear, succinct dialogue, and he has little regard for visual clarity.

He doesn't understand how graphic novels are supposed to work as a narrative through sequential images, and instead presents the series more like a storyboard for a hypothetical television series. As a whole, the series has excessive dialogue, something better suited for a novel or television script. It often uses literal phrases (e.g., "cuts grass") as a substitute for visual action and/or comic onomatopoeia. Chris divides each volume of ''Sonichu'' into "episodes", a concept popular in TV land, but unheard of in the comic book industry. Perhaps Chris isn't interested in art or comics – he's just interested in ''Sonichu''.

==Chris and digital art==
[[File:Sonichuipaddrawing2020.jpg|thumb|200px|[[CWC-isms#hand-drawing|A blocky and low-resolution]][[Spirit possession| self portrait]]: Chris's foray into iPad art.]]

Much like his opinions on [[Chris and drugs#Alcohol|alcohol]], [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ folks]], [[List of things Chris has shoved up his ass|butt play]], and the holy [[HEXBox]], Chris's thoughts on digital art have evolved from outright bashing to a much more open outlook.

===During the classic era===
In the early 2000s, Chris was somewhat open to the digital arts. He created [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in a high school computer graphics class, and he would brag and boast about his [[CADD]] major. Things changed soon after.

Chris would often state that using new technology creatively provides an unfair advantage in the service of inferior results. Repeatedly, he has called ''[[Asperchu]]'' "blocky and low resolution" because it was drawn with a tablet, this is most likely because Chris thinks that doing digital art instead of the traditional way makes results comparable to poor MS Paint drawings that are more familiar with him. In one of his [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 1|phone calls to Alec Benson Leary]], Chris said his hand-drawn art had "more character" (never mind that tablet art is technically hand-drawn art anyway).

===A change of heart: Chris gets an iPad===
Chris began opening up to digital media in the 2010s. In [[May 2020]], during his phase of [[role-play]]ing as [[Sonichu]], Chris used his [[COVID-19]] Economic Impact Payment check on an iPad, software, and accessories for drawing digital art. He attempted a drawing of Sonichu, and he complained about how hard the software was to use.<ref>[[May 2020 social media posts#Chris gets an iPad]]</ref>

===Will Chris switch to digital?===
On 14 [[July 2021]], Chris tagged the Crayola company in a Twitter thread, complaining about inconsistencies between similar- and same-colored markers.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1415466170271010818</ref>

A Twitter user asked Chris if he would switch to digital art, stating "it might be better for you in the long run". Instead of defending his marker-on-paper style like usual, he responded favorably:

{{quote|Eventually, likely so. I have been so very busy to totally find my niche with a tablet and stylus pen setup. Sonichu gave my body a conscious start on the setup with the iPad, but that’s a major Gonna need more free time to practice with it. I haven’t found the right timing yet|Chris <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1415762053755723777</ref>}}

Notably, Chris admitted that digital art takes effort, and he seems willing to make the switch in the future after some practice. Time will tell if he does so, now that he has been freed from jail.

==Chris's other artistic media==

Drawing may be Chris's medium of choice, but he's dabbled in others.

===3D Media===
[[File:Med_59_A.png|thumb|150px|One of the replica medals]]
Chris has produced a line of Sonichu [[medallions]], made out of [[CHRIS!!! CHANDLER!!!|Crayola fuckin' Model Magic and acrylic paint]]. In [[September 2014]], Chris started selling replicas of his handcrafted medals, produced to various qualities.

He has made [[Sonichu Amiibo]] by Frankensteining multiple Amiibos together and crudely painting them.

Another 3D piece is his [[Sonic Totem]] from middle school, which sold on [[eBay]] for $1500 USD.

===Photography and Videography===
{{Main|Chris and cinematography}}

===Animation===
Chris at one point tried taking up a new medium in the form of animation. Using the Nintendo DSi program ''[[Flipnote Hatena|Flipnote Studio]]'', Chris took his drawing to a whole new level...or least, he could have. His drawing degraded greatly when doing artwork here, mostly due to using the DS's stylus pen. When doing animations, his characters have very little fluid movement to them and they seem to [[jerk]] and wobble, as if they're characters from ''[[CWCFlyingElephants|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'' or ''[[Adult Swim|Home Movies]]''. The best one to tell of this is the [[Don'tGetTrolled!]] animation; you can tell which part was animated by Chris and which part was animated by the original author, 8-Bit, because Chris's artwork just wobbles in a distorted fashion.

===Music===
{{Main|Chris and music}}

===Sewing===
[[File:Cwc_sewing3.jpeg|thumb|150px|Chris the seamstress.]]

Chris "restored" [[The Classic|his classic striped shirt]] himself before attempting to sell it. As said shirt spent three years in a water-filled trash bag and was damaged beyond repairability, it didn't work out that well.

===Spray-painting===
{{Main|Shoe Colouring}}

===Costume Design===
{{Main|Chris and cosplaying}}
Continuing his trend of using the cheapest materials possible while incorporating only the vaguest of likenesses, Chris's foray in cosplay is par for the course with his hand-drawings. They're poorly made, not thought out, and Chris likely believes they're professional quality.

==Originality and plagiarism==
{{Main|Things Chris has ripped off}}
{{see also|Chris and copyright|Parody}}

When it comes to originality, Chris has absolutely none.

''Sonichu'' is a fine blend of Chris's personal life and a wide variety of recognizable copyrighted elements. Just about any existing medium that Chris has ever expressed a fondness for appears in some capacity.

Chris has a long history of claiming all credit for fan characters initially acknowledged as being created by others and offered for use in Chris's comics. The first of these were [[Megagi]], [[Jiggliami]], and [[Layla]], but the most infamous instance, and the one that Chris defended the most fervently, was [[Simonla Rosechu]].

At the same time, Chris once had a policy of threatening nonexistent legal action against the creators of any ''Sonichu'' fan art he could find, and was worked into a [[12 January 2010|magnificent rage]] over the ''Sonichu''-derivative fan [[parody]] ''Asperchu''.

As well, Chris has gone so far as to take a video, the aforementioned [[Don'tGetTrolled!]], and alter it to suit his needs. Now, granted, there were other videos done using that same video, but where they just altered the stick character or sped up the video in the same vein as a [[Random-access humor|YouTube Poop]], Chris completely and utterly altered the video to suit his needs so that a humorous song about [[trolling]] is turned into Chris's mouthpiece to destroy Freedom of Speech to make the Internet safer for him.

==Art gallery==
===High school art===
Seen below is a selection of Chris's public school art assignments, from a slideshow on Chris's homemade [[DVD]]. At his high school graduation, Chris expected to be "Highly Recognized" for his "ARTISTIC TALENT", represented in this body of work. When he was not, he cried.<ref>[[Manchester High School#Graduation]]</ref> This work was produced under the supervision of a professional art instructor and the incentive for Chris to give each piece more thought, care and attention than he now prefers to when creating only for his own satisfaction. Despite this, they're still terrible. Note that some readers may find several of these images inadvertently terrifying.

===Tracing===
'''Tracing''' is an art technique where another piece of art, in whole or part, is copied along with its outlines. As a means of producing original art claimed as one's own, tracing is a form of plagiarism.

Images traced from existing copyrighted content appear regularly in ''Sonichu''. Chris traces with the Reflecta Sketch, a long-discontinued toy tracing kit produced by Spin Master. The kit comes with a reflective piece of plastic where an original can be placed to the left and the reflection is used for tracing an outline. This is why most traced images in ''Sonichu'' are mirror images of the original work. Due to their poor quality, consistent in appearance with ''Sonichu'' art that is not traced, these traced images often go unnoticed as tracing. The fact that Chris fails even at tracing is a surprise to no one.

Alternatively, Chris uses these images as references and simply tries to draw images free-hand based on them. This is no worse than directly tracing the outlines, but better explains why his results are so distorted in respect to their references. Chris probably uses a combination of both techniques (as some images look closer to their originals than others), showing an utter lack of skill and originality either way.

The coveted art award at his high school [[Manchester_High_School#Graduation|graduation]] would have lost a crap ton of prestige had it been awarded to a cheater like Chris.

===Rule 34===
{{Honest}}
[[Image:Chris and Rule 34.jpg|thumb|Chris's creations believe that his [[Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack|Rule 34]] artwork is "lifelike".]]
Chris has no shame, and neither does his artwork. Of his many sexually explicit drawings, the most damning one of all is [[ShecameforCWC.JPG]], which brought an end to the Megan Saga and cemented the notion that Chris was an incestuous [[pedofork]].

[[File:TingsArt1.png|thumb|left|Some sexually provacative art from [[Tings Tingz]] that Chris had actually approved of.]]

As seen in this gallery, Chris can't even copy bad porn to save his life, with Rosechu turning into a deformed monstrosity in each panel, all for the sake of [[sex]]. Especially noticeable is the final picture, which shows off a recurring trend in his pictures: the "Glowing Cunt", in which Chris draws the "[[cum]]" from the woman ''around'' and ''outside'' the vagina instead of from the inside, making it appear to glow, or inhabit heavenly clouds.

It can be reasonably assumed that all of the images in this gallery are traced, and that those not paired plagiarized source material simply have yet to have their "inspirations" discovered.

Shoe Colouring

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* Transcript */

'''Shoe Colouring''' is a set of videos that [[Chris]] uploaded to [[YouTube]] on 3 [[August 2018]]. They follow him as he spray-paints a pair of white Adidas sneakers in a quite messy fashion, using absolutely nothing to cover up his carpet from getting stained (which does happen later on). Throughout the nearly hour-long video, Chris interjects with bouts of [[random-access humor]], while talking to [[Barb]] about topics like what to sell on [[eBay]], and things she needs to buy (and during these parts, Chris frequently addresses the viewers directly to [[Financhu Crisis|buy stuff from him]]). Chris also frequently talks to his mom in a dramatic and rather rude manner.

''[Chris waves to the camera]''
Hey everybody on Youtube Land or whatever, this is Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu! Coming to you live from home once again! Yep.

And today I'm 'bout to show y'all something very spectacular that I think you'll all be quite amazed with... want y'all to [[Speech_impediment|(know???)]] that this is a little do-it-yourself project, so make sure your jewelry is concealed... ''[Shows how his necklace is concealed under his smock and Blue Clopper]''

And you're wearing a... smock ''*Waves the bottom of the smock around*'' or apron. And paint will be invovled so... enjoy yourself.

==Shoe Colouring==

Chris spends an hour spray painting his shoes. He is too lazy to place anything underneath them and consequently stains his carpet with yellow paint. Creepily, he continues to refer to his mother as "dear".

===Description===
Watch me colour my new shoes (of the same brand and style as the previous ones) to continue the style as I like it on me.
===Transcript===

[00:00]

Alright, so we're going to get down to it y'all will have the bird's-eye view of- possibility here thanks to this little camera accessory I have. Anyway, we're looking at a new pair of shooooes! You like it when I new pair of shoes, I had to get a new pair, anyway this is no- anyway this the shoe bo- the box for the new pair this is my old shoes I have recently anyway they're Adidas Neo and here they are right there with the shipping tape on the cover on top of it to keep them in kind of a display type of thing so here they are in there faded glory, so that's the old shoes and here we have... the new shoes! Same thing, Adidas Neo, took out the shoe laces a little while ago and we're going to get to work on coloring these going from all the white to yellow and blue. So what you need here is, uh, so you're gonna watch me as I go we can either use duct tape or shipping tape and the paint we will be using is, uh, Tulip Color Shot, intent fabric color, it's permanent on the fabric and hey, between the yellow and the cobalt blue as you can see right there, I also have black for in case I mess up and get it on the black stripes there. In case you want to do this for yourself and I welcome that y'all deck out your shoes as you like it, the way I see it white's, it's like a blank canvas and they come in this packaging, this type of packaging, these two are Color Shots. Anyway definately want to make sure these are, we- aimed away from your face, just to show you an example the nozzle, look for the nozzle, make sure that this is away from your face okay! It's common sense, it's common sense! You don't want to spray yourself in the face, you want to aim it forward and you want to make sure you shake it up before each use. But for now, we are going to repair these shoes so we get them from this, to that in color, to do this one shoe at a time so I'm pretty much show y'all, doing this for one shoe so you, you tape it from the one, you apply it to the other, do it for yourselves, it's all good. Alright so, I'm deciding, I'm thinking as I go...

[02:45]

Ehh, fortunately I still have these for reference, the original pair. Yeah, I am going to use the duct tape, pulling out a good strip of it, kinda... then, gonna rip it in half, down the line like a zippity zipper, and this will go around the basse of the shoooe, you want to keep that white and pretty, whether or not weather gets involved. It did rain some today so I had to- which that's another thing, if the shoe- if the shoes are dirty, just make sure you wipe the mud off. But anyway, in the end we will be removing this duct tape, it's only temporary to keep the paint from getting on- to where we don't want it! But, there remains duct tape, and it's some more, start on the other shoe as well and I'm thinking about that, I don't know, I'm just thinking as I go. It's those creative types, we think as we go, sometimes, some of us will plan ahead, fortunately I did plan some of this before some, yeah, I'm working off the seat of my tail. (Chris hums to himself) It's nice to have a lap to work on with all of this. Hairs NOT INCLUDED in package! Although some fun is included in each and every clu- ideas clu- fun package! This is a foam sample charm I just got one, second one I have I don't know where the first one is I lost it some time ago. Foam sample feals nice and cushy yay! Hehe.

[05:20]

Okay, so I am going to cover up what is going to be blue later, and I'll... do everything else in yellow, just watch it, the back of my shoes, yeah those will be blue so I definitely want to cover up that neck of the woods. So yeah you can use your common sense and just cover up what is NOT going to be the color that is- it going to be laterrr. Let me spread yellow over the, shoot. Hmm, well just, I'm figuring this out as I go. (Chris sings to himself) So yeah, we're doing all the yellow parts. So yeah, we can work along the lines of the shoe where... just fold that up a little bit and goes there, around there, yeah that's going to be yellow. (Chris applies duct tape to the shoe) I'm going to cover up the black so it doesn't accidentally become yellow... Break out the popcorn because this is good YouTube entertainment, duct tape your shoe and have fun with it.

[15:41]

(Barbra enters the room)

Barb: How are you doing?

Chris: Hello, hey everybody guess who here- Barbara Ann, there's Barbara Ann say hello, oh darn it, oh boy, and we're seeing that mark on your face tell'em what happened.

Barb: Ain't nobody not gonna see nobody's gonna see anything.

Chris: I'm recording myself decorating my shoes, so they could do it for themselves. Yeah, anyway those uh anyways-

Barb: Is this one decorated, or is that the old one?

Chris: Yeah, that's the other- yeah that's the other one I just finished painting the yellow parts, I'm gonna, remove the tape and then add more tape to cover the parts that are going to be blue, anyway. Ugh, mama tripped on the wet grass outside hit her face on the ground sheeeee's, yeah. I help pick her up, get her inside, got her ointment, emergency treatment, she's okay. Now what was I doing, oh right... (Chris continues taping up the shoe) She tripped, it was a painful fall, really painful, oey, ouh, uh.

Barb: How much did they cost?

Chris: The shoes?

Barb: Yeah.

Chris: Oh, they're about um fifty bucks.

Barb: Fifty?

Chris: Yeah.

Barb: I thought so.

Chris: Yeah, they're really nice shoes.

Barb: They are, they look nice.

Chris: Yeah, they're going to be even nicer after I finish customizing, the permanent fabric paint.

Barb: I bought another roll of duct tape today.

Chris: Oh, oh yeah- oh yeah I noticed you did.

Barb: It's expensive.

Chris: Yeah, when you got the screws for the- for the mirror, yeah she's making my- a vertical stand- vertical mirror going to be- it's going to be horizontal for gonna be hanging it in my place here, my room here later after she gets it done but she's been doing very well, she's very awesome, she's quite physically able and whatnot, she can- I'm very proud of my mom.

Barb: I'm real proud of you too.

Chris: Thank you.

Barb: Boy, this van drives good with those new tires.

Chris: Oh, excellent, that's right we uh, he's part of that money the big money to pay for those tires, those tires that went on the van. Well the car wasn't ready soon enough so we to use it for the van and it worked out, that was like four hundred dollar bill.

Chris (mumbling to himself): I need to take deep, deep, deep... the fire hasn't begun yet, it hasn't, yeah, somebody better tall that shadow cause somebody beat me to it again. Oh, [[Red Skelton|red skeleton]]...

Barb: When do you have to punch the holes?

Chris: No, I'm removing the tape later so I don't need to punch the holes, the holes are staying there. (To himself) Well it's under the script it's somewhat important, so many details, so little time.

Barb: You're not painting where the tape is?

Chris: Right, the paint is- the tape is going o- is going where we don't want paint to be on. That's the idea. Videos are an intelligent concept on the mano stet I don't know. (To himself) What we talking 'bout? We're singing, we're dancing, lalalalalala. Ah, I'm a little tired.

Barb: Yeah, you can put my roll on- of tape up here where that was so you have it to use and I'll- I can allways come down- I don't use it often, I use it to check the big bags.

Chris: That's fair, that's fair dear it's good, thank you.

Barb: I went out and um put the- oh uh put the bags that were in the trash cans over in the (Chris audibly burps) big trash can and... and there were still some left so I put them in two big contractor bags.

Chris: Okey-dokey.

Barb: And lift them all out there the road.

Chris: Okay. (Singing to himself) Live streaming shoe action on multiples miss opticals, whatever the hell that means, which is absolutely nothing, so.

Barb: I stopped bleeding so... washed the blood- dried blood off.

Chris: That's good, I'm really sorry you tripped, geez.

Barb: It was- it was the grass, everything was so wet amd, it, ot could be the shoes that are different than I normally wear.

Chris: The ones you're wearing. (Chris pans the camera to show Barabra)

Barb: I was wearing my white tennis shoes.

Chris: Oh, so not this pair?

Barb: No, these are my- my bedroom shoes.

Chris: Oh, that makes sense, you don't want to go outside in your bedroom slippers, because you might SLIP UP in the slippers!

Barb: I took out five bags of, uh, shredded stuff, put it in the trash cans.

Chris: Good, paper shredder, we shred our bills.

Barb: You do wear your apron, wear your-

Chris: Yeah, I have to in this case 'cause I'm using spray paint, to spray- to spray- to paint my shoes. Where did the other one go? See, spray, nozzle, faces away from your face you don't want in your face. (To himself) No licensed music in this video, we're just going as we do...

Barb: My body is still in shock, so I'm not doing anything tonight. I'm just resting.

Chris: That's okay, you uh, you still went ahead and cooked dinner, didn't you?

Barb: I had- I didn't have one piece of chicken left so I cooked one piece of chicken and one piece of fish. I saved the fish for tomorrow for lunch. And I opened the yams and I had half of them

Chris: Okay, well at least you got your lunch for tomorrow, I've already- I've had my dinner I had a roast beef sandwich, so by Arby's got a roast beef sandwich, it was good. Anyway, so everything, yeah, no, no, here comes some more yellow, yellow yellow yellow my fine fellow. (Begins to spray paint the shoe while singing) Oh yeah, that helps. (Continues) I deviate from the norm! I am a CPU Goddess storm! Just kidding as I say that. Now it's symmetrical compared to the other shoe, 'cause I didn't like that asymmetry as much yellow on one side. Check the status of this shoe.

[25:48]

Barb: I took my (clears throat) vehicle, keys, and the house and the mailbox keys and put 'em all in separate...things,-

Chris: Where did the instructions-

Barb: And I'ma leave all of my other keys at home. Cause there not...that...the weight of my keys could of damaged the ignition switch.

Chris: The weight of your keys could've damaged the ignition switch?

Barb: Yea, I thought about that I forgot.

Chris: Heah, it says here on the instructions "wait thirty minutes", "let dry thirty minutes". Hmm...Hmm, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking now. Hmm, I'm go get plastic gloves, excuse me. (Goes off screen)

[26:52]

Barb: (Chris comes back) I have a suggestion-

Chris: Whats this-

Barb: Lets just donate the full pillows to good will.

Chris: No! I may have a need for those-

Barb: Two of 'em.

Chris: No, I may have a need for those, buh...no, just no. No no no no.

Barb: Ok

Chris: Nu nu nu nu nu nu nu nu nu. Nu, not the body pillows. Huooh, latex gloves. I'll put these on my hands. Hmm, fit to the touch. Why didn't I think of this sooner, should have done this sooner. I can't think of everything simultaneously. Ppllt. There, I got a little paint on my thumb and its not going to hurt me, brrlt. (Hums to himself) Hmm...mmm, anyway, I think, umm, the tongue back in here.

Barb: I hope its not rainin' tomorrow, because its not rainin' I will make a- take a load to goodwill.

Chris: Ok. Lets see how it is tomorrow. Alright, so let me see. I'm thinking, alright- so, yeah, I'm guessing that I remove that duct tape- that tape, see. Get that white. Get that white. Hmm

Barb: That's a pretty color.

Chris: The yellow?

Barb: Yeah

Chris: Yes, I like yellow. [[Yellow Is a Mellow Color|It's a mellow color]], then we'll sing a song. Yeah, mmm. Ah, jeez. Alright, this tape really gets on my gloves. Mmm, take this off too. I guess I'll take off all the tape, and I'll just put new tape-

Barb: I'm glad we have this chair.

Chris: Yep, it's a good chair. You can sit on it.

Barb: Yeah

Chris: Mmh...mmm, I got this (unintelligible), put that over here. Mhm.

[29:06]

Chris: Put that tape on something. Put it somewhere. Hmr, prrt. (Unintelligible babbling and weird noises) Its a magic trick, comes right off. Wham! And there's the reason I have a little black- I have some... black paint. (Unintelligible) just screw up a little bit- a little bit. Just, mmh, carefully... (Unintelligible) the thing, small tap. Easy spritz, nah damn. Okay. If its that later, I'm still learning the process. Anyway, you see what I mean by controlled. Keep it close to the thing. Its fair, its valid. Ehh, I'm just gonna clean up the black on that side of the shoe ehh. Handy wipes, neheheheheheh. (Singing and/or babbling). Hmm, maybe we can wipe it off of here. Yeah, pbbt, hmm. Okay, I'll get as much of the black as I can off, and I can...hmm, yeah, I'll replace that duct tape over that middle one and...before I can. That's gonna get (unintelligible) if I don't do somethin' with it. Shoe fo bloopers, only on this video, just because! Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. Neah. Uh mmm, (babbling).

Barb: (Unintelligible)

Chris: I know! Alright. I'll-fix-it-later, I'll-fix-it-later. Neah, I'll cover up the old half parts and fix it later neah. Meah... it's a process, it's a process. It does, It does. (Burp), ahh. That felt pretty good. Just a little burp.

Barb: The bought pad I gave you was, uh, today. Would you like me to separate them for you so you can use them to- u-use for your shoulder pads?

Chris: Oh. Uhm-

Barb: It's two.

Chris: Yeah.

Barb: It's sewed together. I can-

Chris: Yeah yeah yeah, yeah.

Barb: I can take the stitches out for you.

Chris: It's fine. It's fine dear, thank you. Let me think. I'm thinking, I'm in a process! I'm in a process.

Barb: (Dry coughing)

Chris: I'm in a process. I am in a process. In my mind, in my mind. In my mind. Ok, now I got a little black on my- I'll wash it off later, pllt.

Chris: Ehh. Huh, we're gonna get those adjusted for you. Maybe.

Barb: I need to get new glasses. Maybe September I can afford.

Chris: Ehh, you hear that people? Send me a couple of hard bucks and I can get my mother a new pair of glasses.

Barb: (Burps)-

Chris: Pbbbbbt

Barb: Excuse me

Chris: That's alright. Hmm. Hmm Hmm. Hmmmmh, I think I should have done the blue first, that would have been easier. Mm, make a mental note people. You might want to do the blue before you do yellow, mree. Am I perfect? No. I'm still a CPU, so...deal with it. What'd I do with the duct tape? (Unintelligible babbling then humming). If it comes out it takes off any yellow, I will...worry about it later. That's about all I can do, innit it.

Barb: Yeah. One step at a time.

Chris: That's what she said!

Barb: I like my black umbrella in your car.

Chris: Black um-

Barb: Yeah.

Chris: That's what I did. I did do that. We cleaned the van and I did do that.

Barb: I used it today.

Chris: Good-

Barb: I was glad it was in there.

Chris: Very good. My name's Santa, I want to sing a song and dance for Christmas alalalalalalalalala. It was a random silly thing, plllt. Ok, definitely going to need some finesse. I'm covering up the logo on the back of the shoe here. Finesse. Hm. Hm hm. Hm. Hm hm hm. Hm. Don't (Unintelligible). I don't care. I'm doing it anyway.

Barb: Did you put the silverware wall chart on ebay?

Chris: Uhh, no. And I have too many other things to worry about other than frickin' ebay.

Barb: Oh-

Chris: And don't try to- too many responsibilities and- Ohy, ehh. Another moment of my life folks. Stay tuned for further details on the life of a CPU in training (fake crying). Huuuh. Have fun, pbt. Hmm, this might not-

Chris: Oh the- Oh-

Barb: And (Clears throat), uh, they're full bones-

Chris: Them bones them bones them-

Barb: So, I think you could sell it for a hundred and fifty dollars.

Chris: Mmm. You hear that folks? If I have a- if i put them on ebay for one hundred and fifty dollars maybe you'll pay for my mother's new glasses. Huh, huh, wouldn't that be nice? (Weird Chris noises). I have blue paint.

[40:33]

Chris: I been paint blue. Sharpie blue paint. Gloves, gloves, gloves. Pbbt. (sigh), I think I'm gonna get the whole box of those vinyl gloves. I got some- I got a box. I have a box (Struggling grunts). This is happening, that's happening, it all happening. Anything is possible and everything is happening, so yippidy dippy do do bla bla bla bla bla, pbbbt. And my mother thinks it f- mother smiles when I do silly kind of things, and I'm felling tired, feeling sleepy. Nah, nah I'm okay. Guys, boobooboobooboo. Boop and a doop, it'd be okay either way. Hmm. Gonna do this (Unintelligible). Might get blue on the inside there. (Maniacal laugh), I got a blue ring on my finger. Ahh.

Barb: You got it on the carpet.

Chris: Don't worry about the carpet, pbt. Now, come on later. Now, shut up. Oh, I see an opportunity. Be awesome, take caution, watch out for me I'm awesome as I wanna be. Awesome as a wanna be, yeah. Nah. Call about my leg, I'm okay.

Barb: I enjoyed my time with you. Uh, I gotta go lay on my back- with my back rest.

Chris: Okay.

Barb: Cause it hurts.

Chris: I hear you. I love you, dear.

Barb: Love you, baby. See you later.

Chris: See you later.

Barb: I washed all you towels and washcloths.

Chris: Oh, thank you. (Noises that sound like an upset stomach). Before remove any tape from that. Huh, see how this feels. That feels more dry now, so that's good.

Chris and art

{{quote|My art style, I feel, is one that would be typically mistaken as child-like, yet there is an elegance that gives its simplicity an appealing charm. This is a style that needs not be overthought, as it is typically to the point.|[[Chris]], talking about his art<ref>[[January 2020 social media posts]]</ref>}}

[[File:MyMindIsABlank.jpg|thumb|''[[January 2015 Facebook posts#He Hasn't Forgotten Us!|My Mind Is a Blank]]'', January 2015]]

[[File:CWCPeterPaulRubens.png|thumb|How Chris sees his self-portraits.]]

'''Art''' has been, and always will be, Chris's selling point. Chris has been involved with some form of art or another throughout his life. He has taken numerous art and design classes in [[high school]], and he holds a degree in [[CADD|computer-aided drafting and design]]. But despite his extensive education in the visual arts (and relative lack of other discernible skills), his style is quite unique, to say the least.

Ever since the very day [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] found out about Chris's creation of [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], many people have taken interest in Chris because of his infamously bad artwork. Ironically, his crude creative abilities are what made him stand out as an artist. ''Sonichu'' wouldn't be ''Sonichu'' without Chris's art. Encouraging Chris to produce more of it remains a popular objective amongst [[troll]]s and [[ween]]s.

==Before we get started with today's critique...==
It can be easy to simply write off Chris as a bad artist without asking why. But of course, visual art is subjective – there are a multitude of reasons ''why'' someone might not like a particular work, and there are bound to be people who will like it. Different styles suit different artists (and viewers), and realism isn't exactly the gold standard of good art. The fact that people [[commissions|commission]] Chris is proof that he isn't objectively a failed artist. After all, he sold more art than Van Gogh ever did in his lifetime.

Chris is no [[naive]] artist – he took art classes throughout his schooling. He is most likely familiar with the process of artistic critiques in an academic setting. This article will reflect that process.

Instead of outright praising or bashing Chris's art, this critique will offer constructive criticism. It will examine strong and weak points of Chris's art in an objective, taste-neutral manner. It will examine all media but place special emphasis on his most proficient medium: drawing. The article will also consider the context of Chris's art. Finally, it will consider ways he has improved his craft, aspects that can be improved, and techniques he is outright unwilling to improve.

==Weak points==

===Exercise of skills and improvement in craft===
[[Image:0025-ChristophersMicroMornings.jpg|thumb|left|Not bad for a grade-schooler.]]

Chris does not seem to consider his artistic skill in need of revision; he is always fully satisfied by the first attempt at a drawing he makes. Naturally, being an artist of that caliber, Chris takes it upon himself to criticize the art that his [[True and Loyal Fanbase]] send to him, and is quick to point out the myriad of "flaws" in each work.<ref>[[Ivy Q&A#After Emily]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Personal Sonichu Presentation#Part 2]]</ref>

Chris has said he spends "an hour at most" drawing a comic page and about a half-hour coloring it.<ref>[[Mailbag 2#In which Chris insults someone who drew a picture for him]]</ref> He does not seem to be aware of the fact that producing the kind of high-quality artwork that fans expect in a good comic strip is very labor-intensive and can easily take hours, sometimes days, even with professional software programs like Photoshop. He also doesn't seem to understand, or care, that any good artist will draw a scene multiple times before they publish it, especially if there are mistakes. In pretty much any episode of ''Sonichu'', you will be sure to find at least one mistake Chris has made that he refuses to redo and simply colors over. One good example is the scene from Chris and Ivy [[Giant Penis Comic|going to a hotel for hanky-panky]].<ref>[[:File:SchuComicSP3P5.jpg]]</ref> If you look at the scene, you can see multiple mistakes that any artist would have seen as a reason to redo the picture. Chris started to draw his balls (via tracing), but decided he didn't like the proportions that presented, so he decided to keep the start of the trace and just add some "speed lines". If you look at the picture of Ivy you will see that Chris messed up a bit around her face but decided that instead of redoing it, he'd just color over it. He also messed up a bit on her right breast; he drew one too small and decided to make it bigger, by just adding another curved line.

At times, he would expand ''Sonichu'' stories in summary form on [[CWCipedia]], a medium better equipped to keep up with his racing, easily distracted imagination. Everything he says or writes, he considers being a part of his comic's continuity partly because it is easier to record these euphoric and fleeting bouts of inspiration as they occur rather than days, weeks, months, or even years later in comic form.

Chris's art ''has'' improved in recent years: compare the original [[Sonichu 0]] cover to his later covers. The amount in which he has improved, though, is up for debate.

===Choices of materials and technology===
[[File:July14MarkerPhoto.jpg|thumb|Chris's tools.]]

Chris believes that his so-called "hand-drawn style" is superior to art produced by any other means. This is due to Chris's hatred to change what he has already learned and his belief, as a consequence of his [[ego]], that his method is the best by virtue of being his.

Obviously, Chris's skill cannot compensate for the poor materials he uses. He does his work a disservice by using tools that are the cheapest available: copy paper, Pentel RSVP ballpoint pens, and Crayola washable markers.<ref>[[Mumble 7#10:21 Another fan asks about art supplies|Mumble #7]]</ref> These happen to be the tools he has used since childhood.

Far from archival quality, his art has sometimes shown [[Wedding Comic|signs of wrinkling]] as soon as it has been finished. Chris has defended his practice of [[Chris and writing#Dialogue|rampant textwalling]] as a way to "save marker ink."<ref>[[Mailbag 19]]</ref>

When Chris wants to alter a panel, but does not want to put in the effort to redraw the entire page, his method to fix it is to draw a piece on another page, cut it out, and glue it over the original drawing. This can be seen in revisions to [[Sonichu 15]].

While Chris has claimed at various times to use {{w|Adobe Photoshop}} to create his characters and edit his comics,<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu#Conception_and_Creation Sonichu's Conception and Creation], archived from [[CWCipedia]].</ref><ref>[[Miyamoto emails#Please Give Me $800]]</ref><ref>[[Chris's resume#Experience]]</ref> he has only ever been seen using {{w|Adobe PhotoDeluxe}},<ref>The Adobe PhotoDeluxe name can be seen on the taskbar of Chris's computer at 0:13 in [[Clyde's Buddy Matt Getting SUPER-LAID!!!]].</ref><ref>Chris offered PhotoDeluxe advice to [[The Wallflower]] in [[Wallflower E-mails 2]].</ref> with which he created his [[Clyde's Buddy Matt Getting SUPER-LAID!!!|slanderous head-swap]] of [[Clyde Cash|Clyde]]'s buddy Matt. This is in spite of the fact that PhotoDeluxe is intended for scanning and touching up photographs, and Photoshop (which Chris claims to own) would be better suited for the kind of general-purpose image editing and head-swapping that Chris does. In addition, PhotoDeluxe is a fossil of a program that hasn't been supported by Adobe since [[2002]]. Chris's claim in [[Mailbag 3]] that he uses "a past version" of Photoshop<ref>[[Mailbag 3#Art questions]]</ref> could imply that he is [[Slow-in-the-minds|confusing PhotoDeluxe for a part of the Photoshop line]], or that, if he really does use Photoshop, the revision he owns is just as woefully out-of-date as his ancient PhotoDeluxe program.

Chris's font of choice for most of the ''Sonichu'' comics was {{w|Comic Sans}}, a font almost universally condemned for being overused, childish, unprofessional, and ugly; serious designers generally only use it as a last resort or for ironic effect, since better handwritten fonts are available for purchase.<ref>[http://bancomicsans.com Ban the Comic Sans]</ref><ref>[http://achewood.com/index.php?date=07052007 They will make you taste the curb]</ref> However, starting from [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]] onward, he switched to Proxima Nova.

===Drawing techniques===
[[File:CChanDraws.jpg|thumb|Strange pen grips can be corrected with the assistance of school teachers. Chris slept through these lessons.]]
Chris has never even learned to hold a pen correctly. Instead of holding the front of the pen with the thumb and forefinger, he draws with his index finger sticking out and bent around the pen. Give this a try and see how long it takes for you to get carpal tunnel.

In [[CWC - Hand Drawn Original]] (2009) and [[Live Drawing Streams]] (2017), Chris demonstrated his drawing technique on video.

[[File:Chris pen grip 2019.jpg|Wearing gym gloves while drawing.|thumb]]

During 2019, Chris hampered his ability further by wearing his gym gloves while drawing.

{{quote|I don’t want to deal with the constant pencil sharpening and all that trash.|Chris giving one of his reasons for why he uses a pen for line art<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20191108234140/https://twitter.com/cwcsonichu/status/1001562775209086976</ref>.}}

While most artists will produce multiple sketch versions of a single drawing, often layered on top of one another, Chris is so confident in his innate artistic ability that his first step in a page of ''Sonichu'' is drawing the final line art in pen before coloring it in with Crayola markers. If he makes a mistake, he shrugs it off and continues. There is no post-processing beyond adding text to word balloons with MS Paint and PhotoDeluxe. Attempts to inform him that digital coloring is more efficient and far less expensive than wasting gallons of marker ink filling in monocolor backgrounds have failed.

===Visual style and most artistic fundamentals===
[[Image:099-CWCsCWC.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Nice arms you got there, Chris.]]
[[File:SchuComic12-1P106.jpg|thumb|Try and work out what's meant to be happening here.]]
{{Quote|sonichu had kind of a kiddy art style, which i guess was your point. [...] i thought you meant it as an avant-garde thing, to make a statment like, ironically bad|[[Jackie]]<ref>[[Jackie Chat 2]]</ref>}}

Before the comics, Chris attempted realism for work in oil pastel, charcoal, and graphite, presumably for art classes in school. The results can be seen in the gallery below. While he did spend some time in high school taking art classes, most professional artists heavily study artistic fundamentals before venturing off into the territory of stylization. Without knowing how things appear in reality, it is difficult to distort properties to an aesthetically pleasing effect. Chris trusts in his abilities yet lacks proficiency in the most important fundamentals. This overconfidence results in the ''Sonichu'' comics looking like they were drawn by a grade-schooler.

Chris started out with a cartoony style for the comic book, full of techniques consistent with early efforts at drawing by small children. Things changed as Chris got into [[anime]] and manga, and sought to emulate them to impress his [[gal-pal]] at the time, [[Megan Schroeder]]. Like many amateur western artists, he copies only the surface elements of the anime style: big eyes, pentagonal heads, speed lines, emotions. These elements were simply laid over his original "style" with no adjustment, and did nothing to improve the quality of his work.

[[File:Michiru and Haruka translated art2.jpg|thumb|This woman has three elbows.]]

Chris has no understanding of classical anatomy, proportion in figure drawing, or even basic form. His characters are drawn using simple shapes – colored-in outlines, without any shading, ''ever'' – and even so, he is unable to keep the shapes consistent to any degree. These shapes rarely have any form at all, leading to characters having a "cardboard cutout" quality to them: head-on body with a slightly turned head. Though he lacks the skills to make even decent simple poses, Chris has the balls to attempt foreshortening on occasion- with disastrous results.
[[File:ChrisDislocatedWrists.png|thumb|right|In his hastiness to draw [[Giant Penis Comic|pornography]] of himself and [[Ivy]], Chris seems to have forgotten that wrists and forearms are incapable of twisting in such a way without causing serious and extremely painful dislocation injuries.]]
[[File:Billy mays hand.png|thumb|left|Something's not right with this picture...]]

Characters have no set proportions: limbs morph, heads change size, and faces become unrecognizable; it's only by the color scheme that we can guess which character is which. For example, in the opening of [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], [[Sonichu and Rosechu's Children|the children]] tend to noticeably get deformed in a different manner in each panel, despite the fact that they're drawn as just an oval for the head, a rectangle for the body, and smaller ovals for the arms and legs. Just to be sure we know who's who (a job that is taken care of by the artwork in any normal comic) Chris sometimes relies on labelling characters with text and arrows. Beyond his [[Heterochromia|differently-colored eyes]] and [[Sonichu medallion]], no two Chrises have ever looked alike, or even remotely resembled the actual Chris. The character sizes are also inconsistent, which is strange considering most of the characters appear to be about the same size: in most drawings where Sonichu is carrying Rosechu, Rosechu seems to shrink.

[[Image:ProportionFail.jpg|thumb|Chris is an expert at proportion.]]

Finer details of human anatomy have long escaped him; because Chris never draws women with pronounced hips, the results tend to resemble children or men (such as with the character [[Lovely Weather]]), with unfortunate implications in either case. Chris also doesn't seem to realize that drawing techniques that work in other media might not work in cartoons. For example, he sometimes draws himself with almond-shaped eyes. While no real person's eyelids are perfectly circular like a cartoon character, cartoonists generally reserve non-circular eyes for Asian characters.

[[Image:Son-ChuVehicle.jpg|thumb|This car will either always veer left or never run at all.]]

Despite boasting that his "drawings of perspective viewpoints are surpassive [sic]"<ref>[[Miyamoto Saga]]</ref> due to his training in [[CADD]], Chris constantly fails at perspective, with objects implied to be far-away depicted too large. This is evident in his many [[Son-Chu|vehicle designs]], where the front is usually a direct frontal (90 degree) view, regardless of the view angle of other sides. This inability to demonstrate parallel lines renders the car distorted. The lack of any concept of shading only further destroys any semblance of perspective; legs that are implied to be bent forward at the knee only end up looking shorter.

Possibly the worst offender is Chris's constant omission of backgrounds. Most scenes happen only on the white backdrop of the paper. Readers are apparently supposed to infer what the background looks like based on context, similar to some daily newspaper comic strips. Thus, simply drawing a wide-angle shot of the scenery as the first (usually transitional) panel in a scene would suffice. Combined with his inability to make a proper layout, many action scenes end up becoming a jumble of characters moving around without regards to sequence. The reason he does this is probably the same as the reason why he textwalls so often: to "save marker ink," meaning he's lazy. (Incidentally, the proper use of white space and the conservation of painted space is a key element in East Asian art, but despite his anime obsession he is unlikely to have heard of this).

A related phenomenon is simply drawing characters as floating disembodied heads. The [[Magi-chan|deus ex machina/exposition machine]] is the biggest victim of this. Once again, Chris couldn't bother to draw a full body. Thus, combining all known forms of "marker ink conservation", some pages are just a bunch of literal talking heads speaking walls of text.

Chris owns at least one book about drawing manga, as seen in [[My Half of A Whole New World for Kacey]]. The book in itself covers everything to do with portraying couples, including images of couples in bed making love. Whether Chris bought it to better draw out his delusional fantasies or for more material to [[mass debate]] to isn't known, but either way, the book taught him nothing.

=== Character design ===
See also: [[Chris and writing#Characterization|Written characterization]]

A large portion of the ''Sonichu'' cast is clearly derivative of existing characters. In addition to the obvious ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' recolors, Chris has lifted designs from any anime, video game, or even Western animation he is fond of, with no regard for visual consistency.

Beyond that, he doesn't even bother trying to design better clothing for his characters. Most of them wear stereotypical "basic" clothing, and Chris himself wears his usual [[clown shirt]]s and pants. With the sole exception of [[Megan Schroeder|Meg-chan]], every female that shows up in his comics wears high-heeled dress shoes.

Even when the source of Chris's plagiarism is readily apparent, these lifts can still add up to less than the sum of their parts. Inspired by the fusion characters of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' and ''[[God of War]]'', [[Collosal Chan]] looks more like a hobo than a fusion of Chris and Chris-Chan Sonichu. Though clearly, his own effort to design baby [[Pokémon]], [[Sonee and Rosey]] look more unnerving than adorable.

===Fan (dis)service===
[[File:SchuComic9Page32-E.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Insta-boner.]]
{{quote|I am not a gorey artist; just accept the Fan Service of panty-shots and get over yourselves.|<ref>[[Mailbag 45#Chris' hormones + Rosechu's ass = Fan service]]</ref>}}
{{w|Fan service}} is a term used to describe something that is meant to tease or please the audience. It can refer to any content seen as an effort to appease the desires of fans, but for the sake of this section, it's used primarily to describe scenes of a sexually titillating nature.

Since his discovery by the Internet, Chris has inserted increasingly large amounts of fan service into the initially tame ''Sonichu'' in an effort to assert the heterosexuality of himself and his characters. The range of fan service in ''Sonichu'' includes panty shots, Rosechu's [[women's rights|stripping]], cameltoe indentations, and even a full [[Sonichu 8#Episode 17|sex scene]] followed by four pages of text and diagrams describing Sonichu and Rosechu's sexual anatomy.

[[File:Battery-Charge Heart intro.jpg|thumb|left|150px|He made sure to draw [[Battery-Charge Heart]]'s skirt so short, we can see the carpet matches the drapes.]]
Due to his lack of artistic faculties, much of Chris's depictions of sexuality are highly unsettling to most readers. Any attempts to add "sexy" material come across as Chris's own wish-fulfillment or self-interest, rather than attempts by Chris to please his audience.

While the point of fan service is to hint at sexuality in an otherwise clean work meant for general audiences, ''Sonichu'''s sexual content hides nothing and disturbs many, despite the fact that Chris has always viewed ''Sonichu'' as a comic intended for children. Chris tried to justify putting panty shots in a children's comic by saying... {{quote|Children will likely be seeing the same things in real life, so mellow out and let them learn a bit, and further educate the children with discussions.|Children will be seeing furry porn in real life.<ref>[[Mailbag_47#Children_will_be_seeing_furry_porn_in_real_life]]</ref>}}

==Strong points==
Chris is far from the worst artist ever; there are several strong points to his work that set him apart from other poor artists.
===Color choices and coordination===
Chris does get color coordination. Most of the color schemes he uses in his work look decent. Being Chris, he still fails occasionally, such as with the [[CWCipedia]] color scheme. Still, color is one of his few strong points, at least compared to the rest of his art style. As evidenced by most of his websites, custom console skins, and a good chunk of his character designs, Chris's favorite colors appear to be yellow and blue. That color combination is hard to get wrong, which is why so many cartoon characters (from the Simpsons to SpongeBob) have yellow skin. Chris also appears to be fond of the [[USA|red, white, and blue]] compliment, judging by his [[The Classic|trademark polo shirt]].

Despite excelling in this fundamental field, Chris does struggle with coloring [[rainbow]]s in the correct order of ROY G. BIV.

===Dexterity===
Despite his awkward pen grip, Chris seems to have a mostly steady hand. His penmanship is neat and legible, and most of his mistakes stem from writing the wrong letter and scribbling/doctoring it into the right one, instead of any kind of actual handwriting disorder. His most recent driver's license signature appears to be quite flourished and feminine. Many artists with unorthodox hand techniques claim their grips can actually give them more control over the pen, and even trained calligraphers don't always stick to the standard grip taught to them in kindergarten.

Chris never seemed to struggle in the dexterity department – he can write and draw more neatly than folks with poor {{w|fine motor skills}}. He doesn't have an issue with other activities requiring dexterity, such as typing or playing [[video games]]. The [[autism papers]] don't even mention poor fine motor coordination, which is relatively common (but not universal) among autistics. Even [[autism|our own article on Chris's diagnosis]] doesn't touch his dexterity, only his {{w|gross motor skills}}. '''For once, Chris's autism isn't the culprit!'''

If Chris actually took his time and learned patience, his line work could be phenomenal.

===Reach===
''See also: [[Warhol / Chris Chan]]''

Chris has undoubtedly become a pop culture phenomenon, while many other artists who spent decades refining their craft can go their entire lives without selling many paintings – or any at all. ''Looking at [[medallions]] alone,'' Chris has sold more works than Frida Kahlo even ''produced'' in her lifetime. Chris's works have been referenced in master theses, published essays, and other academic media countless times. Judging by artists like Van Gogh or Warhol, GodBear knows if Chris's works will end up in a museum some time after his [[Chris and death|passing]]. The fact that people are compelled to look at Chris's work at all speaks volumes.

===Is art even ''Sonichu's'' main failing?===
{{main|Chris and writing}}

Complex drawing is not mandatory for making a good comic. Chris's art style is arguably more complex than the style Charles Schulz used for ''Peanuts''. ''{{w|Diary of a Wimpy Kid}}'' and ''{{w|xkcd}}'' get the job done with simple stick figures. Some artistically challenged cartoonists will even ditch the pen for a nice camera to create a {{w|photo comic}}. These genres might not carry museum-quality art, but the cartoonists generally make up for it with clever writing.

However, ''Sonichu'' doesn't even have that to fall back on. Chris does no preparatory writing or preliminary revision; his narrative is wholly improvised and shifts regularly. He cannot write clear, succinct dialogue, and he has little regard for visual clarity.

He doesn't understand how graphic novels are supposed to work as a narrative through sequential images, and instead presents the series more like a storyboard for a hypothetical television series. As a whole, the series has excessive dialogue, something better suited for a novel or television script. It often uses literal phrases (e.g., "cuts grass") as a substitute for visual action and/or comic onomatopoeia. Chris divides each volume of ''Sonichu'' into "episodes", a concept popular in TV land, but unheard of in the comic book industry. Perhaps Chris isn't interested in art or comics – he's just interested in ''Sonichu''.

==Chris and digital art==
[[File:Sonichuipaddrawing2020.jpg|thumb|200px|[[CWC-isms#hand-drawing|A blocky and low-resolution]][[Spirit possession| self portrait]]: Chris's foray into iPad art.]]

Much like his opinions on [[Chris and drugs#Alcohol|alcohol]], [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ folks]], [[List of things Chris has shoved up his ass|butt play]], and the holy [[HEXBox]], Chris's thoughts on digital art have evolved from outright bashing to a much more open outlook.

===During the classic era===
In the early 2000s, Chris was somewhat open to the digital arts. He created [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in a high school computer graphics class, and he would brag and boast about his [[CADD]] major. Things changed soon after.

Chris would often state that using new technology creatively provides an unfair advantage in the service of inferior results. Repeatedly, he has called ''[[Asperchu]]'' "blocky and low resolution" because it was drawn with a tablet, this is most likely because Chris thinks that doing digital art instead of the traditional way makes results comparable to poor MS Paint drawings that are more familiar with him. In one of his [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 1|phone calls to Alec Benson Leary]], Chris said his hand-drawn art had "more character" (never mind that tablet art is technically hand-drawn art anyway).

===A change of heart: Chris gets an iPad===
Chris began opening up to digital media in the 2010s. In [[May 2020]], during his phase of [[role-play]]ing as [[Sonichu]], Chris used his [[COVID-19]] Economic Impact Payment check on an iPad, software, and accessories for drawing digital art. He attempted a drawing of Sonichu, and he complained about how hard the software was to use.<ref>[[May 2020 social media posts#Chris gets an iPad]]</ref>

===Will Chris switch to digital?===
On 14 [[July 2021]], Chris tagged the Crayola company in a Twitter thread, complaining about inconsistencies between similar- and same-colored markers.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1415466170271010818</ref>

A Twitter user asked Chris if he would switch to digital art, stating "it might be better for you in the long run". Instead of defending his marker-on-paper style like usual, he responded favorably:

{{quote|Eventually, likely so. I have been so very busy to totally find my niche with a tablet and stylus pen setup. Sonichu gave my body a conscious start on the setup with the iPad, but that’s a major Gonna need more free time to practice with it. I haven’t found the right timing yet|Chris <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1415762053755723777</ref>}}

Notably, Chris admitted that digital art takes effort, and he seems willing to make the switch in the future after some practice. Time will tell if he does so, now that he has been freed from jail.

==Chris's other artistic media==

Drawing may be Chris's medium of choice, but he's dabbled in others.

===3D Media===
[[File:Med_59_A.png|thumb|150px|One of the replica medals]]
Chris has produced a line of Sonichu [[medallions]], made out of [[CHRIS!!! CHANDLER!!!|Crayola fuckin' Model Magic and acrylic paint]]. In [[September 2014]], Chris started selling replicas of his handcrafted medals, produced to various qualities.

He has made [[Sonichu Amiibo]] by Frankensteining multiple Amiibos together and crudely painting them.

Another 3D piece is his [[Sonic Totem]] from middle school, which sold on [[eBay]] for $1500 USD.

===Photography and Videography===
{{Main|Chris and cinematography}}

===Animation===
Chris at one point tried taking up a new medium in the form of animation. Using the Nintendo DSi program ''[[Flipnote Hatena|Flipnote Studio]]'', Chris took his drawing to a whole new level...or least, he could have. His drawing degraded greatly when doing artwork here, mostly due to using the DS's stylus pen. When doing animations, his characters have very little fluid movement to them and they seem to [[jerk]] and wobble, as if they're characters from ''[[CWCFlyingElephants|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'' or ''[[Adult Swim|Home Movies]]''. The best one to tell of this is the [[Don'tGetTrolled!]] animation; you can tell which part was animated by Chris and which part was animated by the original author, 8-Bit, because Chris's artwork just wobbles in a distorted fashion.

===Music===

===Sewing===
[[File:Cwc_sewing3.jpeg|thumb|150px|Chris the seamstress.]]

Chris "restored" [[The Classic|his classic striped shirt]] himself before attempting to sell it. As said shirt spent three years in a water-filled trash bag and was damaged beyond repairability, it didn't work out that well.

===Spray-painting===
{{Main|Shoe Colouring}}

===Costume Design===
{{Main|Chris and cosplaying}}
Continuing his trend of using the cheapest materials possible while incorporating only the vaguest of likenesses, Chris's foray in cosplay is par for the course with his hand-drawings. They're poorly made, not thought out, and Chris likely believes they're professional quality.

==Originality and plagiarism==
{{Main|Things Chris has ripped off}}
{{see also|Chris and copyright|Parody}}

When it comes to originality, Chris has absolutely none.

''Sonichu'' is a fine blend of Chris's personal life and a wide variety of recognizable copyrighted elements. Just about any existing medium that Chris has ever expressed a fondness for appears in some capacity.

Chris has a long history of claiming all credit for fan characters initially acknowledged as being created by others and offered for use in Chris's comics. The first of these were [[Megagi]], [[Jiggliami]], and [[Layla]], but the most infamous instance, and the one that Chris defended the most fervently, was [[Simonla Rosechu]].

At the same time, Chris once had a policy of threatening nonexistent legal action against the creators of any ''Sonichu'' fan art he could find, and was worked into a [[12 January 2010|magnificent rage]] over the ''Sonichu''-derivative fan [[parody]] ''Asperchu''.

As well, Chris has gone so far as to take a video, the aforementioned [[Don'tGetTrolled!]], and alter it to suit his needs. Now, granted, there were other videos done using that same video, but where they just altered the stick character or sped up the video in the same vein as a [[Random-access humor|YouTube Poop]], Chris completely and utterly altered the video to suit his needs so that a humorous song about [[trolling]] is turned into Chris's mouthpiece to destroy Freedom of Speech to make the Internet safer for him.

==Art gallery==
===High school art===
Seen below is a selection of Chris's public school art assignments, from a slideshow on Chris's homemade [[DVD]]. At his high school graduation, Chris expected to be "Highly Recognized" for his "ARTISTIC TALENT", represented in this body of work. When he was not, he cried.<ref>[[Manchester High School#Graduation]]</ref> This work was produced under the supervision of a professional art instructor and the incentive for Chris to give each piece more thought, care and attention than he now prefers to when creating only for his own satisfaction. Despite this, they're still terrible. Note that some readers may find several of these images inadvertently terrifying.

===Tracing===
'''Tracing''' is an art technique where another piece of art, in whole or part, is copied along with its outlines. As a means of producing original art claimed as one's own, tracing is a form of plagiarism.

Images traced from existing copyrighted content appear regularly in ''Sonichu''. Chris traces with the Reflecta Sketch, a long-discontinued toy tracing kit produced by Spin Master. The kit comes with a reflective piece of plastic where an original can be placed to the left and the reflection is used for tracing an outline. This is why most traced images in ''Sonichu'' are mirror images of the original work. Due to their poor quality, consistent in appearance with ''Sonichu'' art that is not traced, these traced images often go unnoticed as tracing. The fact that Chris fails even at tracing is a surprise to no one.

Alternatively, Chris uses these images as references and simply tries to draw images free-hand based on them. This is no worse than directly tracing the outlines, but better explains why his results are so distorted in respect to their references. Chris probably uses a combination of both techniques (as some images look closer to their originals than others), showing an utter lack of skill and originality either way.

The coveted art award at his high school [[Manchester_High_School#Graduation|graduation]] would have lost a crap ton of prestige had it been awarded to a cheater like Chris.

===Rule 34===
{{Honest}}
[[Image:Chris and Rule 34.jpg|thumb|Chris's creations believe that his [[Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack|Rule 34]] artwork is "lifelike".]]
Chris has no shame, and neither does his artwork. Of his many sexually explicit drawings, the most damning one of all is [[ShecameforCWC.JPG]], which brought an end to the Megan Saga and cemented the notion that Chris was an incestuous [[pedofork]].

[[File:TingsArt1.png|thumb|left|Some sexually provacative art from [[Tings Tingz]] that Chris had actually approved of.]]

As seen in this gallery, Chris can't even copy bad porn to save his life, with Rosechu turning into a deformed monstrosity in each panel, all for the sake of [[sex]]. Especially noticeable is the final picture, which shows off a recurring trend in his pictures: the "Glowing Cunt", in which Chris draws the "[[cum]]" from the woman ''around'' and ''outside'' the vagina instead of from the inside, making it appear to glow, or inhabit heavenly clouds.

It can be reasonably assumed that all of the images in this gallery are traced, and that those not paired plagiarized source material simply have yet to have their "inspirations" discovered.

[[Image:Etc_ebay_bid.PNG|thumb|A small overview of Chris's purchases on eBay.]]
[[Image:Etc_ebay_win.PNG|thumb|Moar.]]
{{quote|I recived an empty envelope.|Feedback on a bootleg Pokémon game Chris sold in March 2018.}}
{{quote|The [[Sonic Totem]] finally arrived safely, despite being sent in two boxes scotch taped together with trash used as packing material.|Purchaser on /v/ <ref>[[Sonic Totem#In_new_hands]]</ref>}}

'''eBay''' is an online auction site that [[Chris]] used from May [[2001]] to June 2019. During that time, Chris regularly purchased and sold stuff on the website. The site was also used by Chris for selling Sonichu and Chris Chan products.

His sales listings dramatically increased during the [[Financhu Crisis]] and [[Idea Guys]] sagas in order to raise money for creditors, bills, and more toys, and to pay off the Idea Guys so they wouldn't destroy [[CWCville]], respectively.

Chris is currently suspended from selling on eBay, due to poor seller performance.

==Chris as a buyer==
{{main|List of Chris's eBay purchases}}
Chris bought a number of ''[[My Little Pony]]'' action figures from the site. His many eBay purchases helped Chris accumulate a debt of $2,000 on his credit card.

During the [[Megan Saga]], [[Megan]] often got Chris to buy her stuff — pictures of World War II [[CWCville|Wehrmacht]] soldiers, [[anime]] CDs, ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' paraphernalia — from eBay, probably because she didn't have a credit card herself. In an email from 2007, Megan revealed the nature of the transactions, offering to repay Chris with "cash and or unneeded goodies",<ref>[[Megan Emails, Jan-July 2007#Another email from the "Seriously Stop Fucking Touching Me" collection]]</ref> though it seems in some cases Chris would buy things as gifts for her.

According to his feedback history as of 31 [[March 2010]], he spent $12.97 on ''[[God of War]] III'' The Forgotten Warrior Skin Code for PS3 and $9.99 for a ''God of War III'' Apollo In Game Skin Code. On 1 September 2010, he spent ''$30'' on a [[ModNation Racers]] Ratchet & Clank Mod. To put that in perspective, he could have bought the PSP version of ''ModNation Racers'' with that money, which he already did.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback">[http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=jesusguidesme2&ftab=AllFeedback&myworld=true eBay Feedback Profile for jesusguidesme2]</ref> The Ratchet & Clank Mod was later released on the [[PSN]] for merely $2.<ref>[http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/11/09/playstation-store-update-164/ PlayStation Store Update - PlayStation.Blog, 9 Nov 2010]</ref> Most recently, however, Chris purchased a ''Lego Friends'' promotional display stand for $30.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback"/> ''Lego Friends'' is a series of Lego aimed at preteen girls, as evidenced by its general kiddiness and ease of assembly.

After being MIA on eBay for 2 years, he came back in late 2012 as a seller. A new noteworthy feedback was the Skylanders Giants Wii Bundle Pack plus Bonus, which he sold for $165.

Immediately after listing and successfully selling various drawings (including the [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing]]) and multiple [[Autographed Photos|autographed photos]] in early July 2014, Chris bought several Lego minifig parts on eBay.<ref name="cwc ebay feedback"/>

In 2015, Chris has shown himself to be an avid consumer of Amiibo, which he buys from eBay scalpers at around $30 a pop. Chris seems to be going for a complete collection of Amiibo. In spite of the implied financial troubles that come with legal difficulties and having your home rebuilt from the Ground-Up, [[trolls]] noted that Chris bought a $30 [[Lego]] minifigure and hundreds of dollars in [[Lego]] sets; the typical spending spree for Chris ends in about $600 of tugboat being forked over to various eBayers in exchange for second-hand toys.

In 2016, Chris switched his interests from Amiibos to Transformers, spending hundreds of dollars on acquiring new figures, despite being neck-deep in the [[Financhu Crisis]].

On 8 September 2016, he spent $62.64 to buy a ''Titans Returns: Optimus Prime'' figure. He left feedback on the item, stating, "It was opened, and it was missing one wheel." Oddly, he still rated the transaction positive<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.661/page-644#post-1783606</ref>.

Chris purchased the [[$400 gold necklace]] via Ebay.

==Chris as a seller==
[[Image:Gibson.jpg|thumb|Notice the wonderful pile of dishes. Who wouldn't want to buy something from this house?]]

===History===
Since late [[2008]], when the Chris-Chan phenomenon became more widely known, people used Chris's eBay account as a means to troll him. They would bid on his auction, not pay, and then leave lulzy negative feedback.

Early in [[2009]], Chris tried to stop this form of trolling by changing his eBay name to "[[Chris and religion|jesusguidesme2]]", and deleting information from his account: it didn't work. The account went dormant in [[September 2010]], but became active again around [[August 2012]].

On 22 [[June 2015]], Chris opened a second, concurrent eBay account, ''pristinechristine1982'': according to his Facebook [[June 2015 Facebook Posts#New eBay Account|announcement]] in June 2015, ''pristinechristine1982'' was created to "start fresh on my selling limits and all".

eBay does not allow users to create additional accounts to avoid buying and selling restrictions or limits,<ref>[https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/identity-policies/multiple-accounts-policy?id=4232 Multiple accounts policy]</ref> but Chris was able to buy and sell items without notable issues until being suspended on 16 June 2019.

On 2 [[September 2015]], Chris announced on [[Facebook]] that he was moving from eBay to [[Etsy]], stating that Etsy was easier to use, but after losing his Etsy shop in [[June 2016]],<ref>[[Etsy#Shop Closure]]</ref> Chris returned to eBay as a seller, by listing Pokémon cards in [[July 2016]]. Over the next few years he would offer Sonichu and Chris Chan-related products on the site.

===2008-2013 listings===
{{main|2008-2013 Sales Listings}}
Around [[September 2009]], Chris, in a rare display of monetary wisdom, sold two of his [[Guitar Hero]] controllers. While not the autistic magnum opus we know as the [[Gitar of Fail]], "[[Old Time Rock and Roll on Shredwud|Meatwad's Shredwad]]" shows off Chris's disregard for [[Parody|copyright]] and his fail art in one fell stroke. It's perfectly okay for Chris to sell his crappy fake ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' merch, but none of those slanderous [[trolls]] can do [[Chris and hypocrisy|''the exact same goddamn thing'']] with [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'']] products. He also sold his Gibson model controller, which was covered in stickers. Someone purchased both controllers for a ridiculous $90.99, plus $6 for shipping.

He also sold a [[Transformers|Bumblebee 2008 Concept Camaro]] claiming that it was unopened, which wasn't true.

On 18 September 2013, Chris returned to eBay and tried to sell the "kre-o micro changers Series 1, 12 piece set complete" collection for $65.

''At this point, Chris's seller account was restricted for poor performance and all his listings cancelled by eBay.''

==Suspension of Chris's eBay==
[[File:EBay negrates, 17 June 2019.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Chris's seller account rated at an abysmally low 85%, and the negative feedback it had accummulated.]]

[[Image:Chrisebayblocked.png|thumb|Chris's response to his eBay account getting nuked.]]

On 16 June 2019, Chris's eBay account was restricted. A likely reason for this was Chris's failure to ship out items to his buyers on time or at all. When they did arrive, they would often be damaged due to poor packaging. Chris had an approval rating of 85% on eBay prior to his removal. For those unfamiliar with the eBay rating system, a sub-90% rating for a seller is extremely poor. An 85% approval rating means 3 out of every 20 customers were unsatisfied with how the item shipped. The loss of his eBay marketplace dealt yet another huge blow to his [[Monthly tugboat|monthly income]], as he had already lost his [[Etsy]] shop for similar reasons.

Three days later, Chris confirmed that his eBay was restricted. He claimed "I don't need a listing", trying to get [[fans]] to donate money directly to him in exchange for items. Of course, anyone who would attempt such a deal does so at their own risk, since they wouldn't have buyer protection like eBay offered.

'''''Sonichu''''' is [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]'s official life work, magnum opus, and largest contribution to society and culture. To most, however, it is a poorly-[[Chris and art|drawn]] and [[Chris and writing|written]] comic book series about the adventures and travels that befall [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|a fictionalized version of himself]] and his [[imaginary friends]]. Despite starting out as a comic about the titular character, it quickly turned into a wish-fulfillment outlet for Chris and his depraved fantasies, with [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] being a main character in name only, playing second fiddle to Chris's primary {{w|Mary Sue}} self-insert. Other characters include [[Rosechu]] and Chris's many other self-inserts.

The comic began on 24 November 2004 and updated intermittently throughout the next fifteen years, with its last significant update published on 27 June 2019. Chris wanted the series to last anywhere between 75 and 100 issues, although he was in no hurry to accomplish such a feat due to multiple extended hiatuses. Following Chris's [[Affair with Mother|incest]] charges, it seems unlikely that Chris will ever finish the series even if he completes his sentence.

==Introduction==
[[Image:SonicVsSonichu.jpg|thumb|180px|{{w|Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics)|THE WORLD'S MOST WAY PAST COOL COMIC!}}]]

Chris first drew [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in March 2000 after being told that he could not use [[Chris and copyright|a copyrighted character]] on a class project, so he instead came up with a [[Things Chris has ripped off|TRUE]] and [[OC|ORIGINAL]] character plagiarizing from two of his favorite video games: ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and ''[[Pokémon]]''. Later, Chris would put his web programming skills to task and come up with [[CWC's Sonichu Site!]], which showcased his various illustrations of his pride and joy. Over time, Chris would draw new characters in his own little universe that were more blatant rip-offs of the source material that he was inspired by, such as [[Rosechu]] and [[Blake]], and so Chris began to put together a couple of simple, single-page or two-page narratives for his growing cast of characters.

For a while, many of these comics were actually focused on the adventures of these characters, with no real references to the outside world, but over time, he would start to put himself into these comic strips. Dissatisfaction with his own life led Chris to use the comic as a [[Chris and coping|coping mechanism]] to achieve a sense of [[Chris and his ego|wish fulfillment]]. Since he was coming up with his story (and nothing less), he could team up with his "original" creations and make things right in [[CWCville|his idealized fantasy world]].

The inadvertent shattering of his heart from [[Sarah Hammer]], along with the expulsion from English class and the confrontation with [[Mary Lee Walsh]], provided the impetus for Christian to kick-start the comic series in full force, turning real-life figures that he encountered into citizens and villains for him and his OCs to interact with. The series initially served as a complement to his [[Love Quest]] as a feeble attempt to link an accomplishment, or boost his own self-worth to unsuspecting prey; after all, Sonichu ''is'' "Zappin' to the Extreme!" He is Christian Weston Chandler's ''only'' son, and the first ''way past cooler'' [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]]!

The comics series was originally hosted on the various incarnations of Christian's [[Sonichu site|homepage]] (as seen in the [[CWCipedia]] archive). In 2013 he began to upload the comics as albums on his [[Facebook]] page, and he affirmed in 2015, when he picked up the comic again, that this would be the place to find new pages. In [[September 2015]] he finally began to sell printed and autographed issues on [[Etsy]] and Lulu.com. The comic was originally promoted from now-defunct ''Sonichu'' business cards, and he has since graduated to flyers. Each new addition to the series proudly sports a "To be continued..." disclaimer page. In fact, the comics are not updated with any regular frequency: in the twenty years since the character's creation, Chris has only completed fifteen issues, even though he has zero responsibilities and unlimited free time. Chris has claimed that in total, he plans to complete 50 to 100 issues in his lifetime,<ref>[[CWC Personal Sonichu Presentation]]</ref> meaning that he's 15 to 30% of the way there.

==Reader's Guide to ''Sonichu''==
{{quote|[[Chris and art|My art]] [[Chris and his ego|speaks for me.]]|Chris<ref>[[I Am The TRUE, Original Christopher Christian Weston Chandler; No Ifs, Ands or Buts]]</ref>}}

===How-to and Overview===
[[Image:Sonichu - Jargon Page.jpg|thumb|180px|The ever infamous JARGON page.]]

To start off, the comics don't appear to have a consistent numbering system in place, this can make it tricky to organize them. For example, the ''Sonichu'' series began with issue #0 instead of #1. Chris also decided to assign one of the books as "Issue #12-9" to avoid associating his Pony OC [[Nightstar]] with the number 13. The book itself was originally going to be "Issue #13", with [[Planet Dolan]] as the subject matter instead. Despite that, there was an actual "Issue #13", but only for a bunch of vaguely connected ideas brainwashed into Chris by the [[Idea Guys]] with no actual narrative in sight. The numbering of every subsequent comic book continues from there. Adding to the confusion are the "Specials", which were numbered separately from the main comics.

Adding to the confusing numbering system, Chris uses a bunch of television lingo when referring to his stories. Each issue up to Issue #12-9 contained multiple separately-numbered "episodes" and "sub-episodes". Due to the incoherent narrative structure of the stories along with their inconsistent numbering system, readers often lost track of which story happened in which issue. For example, [[Black Sonichu]] (now known as Blake) was introduced in Episode #4, which was the fifth story in the overall series and the first story in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which was in turn the second comic. Further confounding matters were the [[Sub-Episodes]] about Chris's [[Love Quest]], which appeared in issues #0-4, and again were numbered separately from the main stories.

Issues #0 and #1 featured [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] as the unchallenged star of the series, with [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Chris]] as a supporting character also appearing in the backup strips. By issue #2, the comic had abruptly transitioned to Chris encountering people from his real life in shitty [[anime]] battles. Token attempts to tell Sonichu stories and introduce Sonichu spin-off characters were made in #3, but all pretense was dropped in #4-#7 as the series becomes a vehicle for Chris, as the leader of a heroic [[Chaotic Combo|band of recolors]], to battle against [[Mary Lee Walsh|a college dean]], a group of ineffectual [[Jerkop|security guards]], [[manajerks|store managers]], and later on, [[trolls|Internet trolls]] and [[Alec Benson Leary|other people who made fun of the comic]]. Originally it was mostly innocent and harmless, being the by-product of a simple man with a childish imagination, until it became an outlet to call out trolls, explore his depraved [[Sonichu 8|sexual desires]] and live out his [[Sonichu 10|violent revenge fantasies]].

[[Image:ComicTBCont.jpg|thumb|left|180px|TO BE CONTINUED (c.) 2001-????]]
The comic series was presented as if it were a cartoon or [[anime]] (which might explain why the comics mimic visual effects that work in an audiovisual context but fail on paper), and was encapsulated into ''seasons'' with various episodes (or "series", for our European friends). [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] was intended to wrap up the "first season" of ''Sonichu''. This opened a can of worms as to the current vision of the comics: was ''Sonichu'' intended to be the hit action/adventure soap-opera TV show that is broadcast in [[CWCville]], or was it the historical documentation of Chris's and Sonichu's life and times? Perhaps it was destined to be the Gospel from the Stay-at-Home Autistic Virgin Male, [[Chris and religion#Delusions of Godhood.3F|''hallowed be His name'']]. Either way, it remained unanswered whether Chris continues on with the series because he has a vain, misguided belief that some TRUE and HONEST soul would consider these as "storyboards" for proper licensing and production.

===Art imitating life===
Sensing some criticism for the self-centeredness of his work, Chris wrote himself out of the series toward the end of [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], trapping the Chris character in the [[Time Void]] so that the storyline could focus on other characters. Despite this, Sonichu still served as a strong Mary Sue character, as seen in Sonichu fighting [[4-cent garbage.com]] in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], as well as the clear Sue tendencies of [[Reginald Sneasel]].

He returned from the Time Void at the end of [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], giving all non-Chris characters approximately one issue to have the spotlight to themselves, during which they mostly talked about how much they loved Chris and hoped he would return safely. On the final page of the issue, Chris claimed that he would write himself out of the series permanently, giving his characters the opportunity to shine on their own. He went back on this promise almost the moment he made it — issue #10 is one of the most Chris-centric of the entire series.

Following the theft of his [[Medallions of Fail]] by [[Blanca]], Chris immediately released a new comic adapting the theft into his canon and explaining that the TRUE source of his power lay in his [[Amnyfest Ring]]. Since this story was necessarily set after Chris escapes the Time Void, it was deemed a special preview of ''Sonichu'' #10, despite the fact that Chris had at that point not finished ''Sonichu'' #8 nor begun ''Sonichu'' #9.

Chris started ''Sonichu'' #11 in [[December 2009]] and completed ''Sonichu'' #10 in [[February 2010]]. He produced a revised ending to issue #10 in [[October 2010]].<ref>[[Book10Replacement]]</ref> After a long inspirationless lull, he began churning out new pages of Sonichu #11 in [[September 2015]].

==Hiatuses==
Chris has regularly lost motivation to draw comics throughout the run of the series. Without a single job held for the past 18 years, he has all the time in the world and only lacks a drive to create.

Along with the abandonment of the [[CWCipedia]] in 2010, [[Sonichu 11]] was put on hiatus later that year. Chris claimed that the trolls drained his creativity and scared him away from drawing any more ''Sonichu''.<ref>[[DrainedCreativity]]</ref>

{{Quote|I have not ended Sonichu; I only lost inspiration to draw, thanks to [[Trolls|the people online]].|Chris in 2010, on the hiatus of ''[[Sonichu 11]]''<ref>[[Jackie Chat 3]]</ref>.}}

After five years of Chris sporadically mentioning the possibility of continuing the comic, on 4 [[September 2015]], he finally added new content to ''Sonichu''. 11 new pages were added to [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]] that day. He said that new pages would be added "maybe every other week". 27 pages were uploaded in 2015, but these updates were not to last; no pages were uploaded in 2016. Chris claimed that ADD<ref>[[February 2016 Facebook Posts#Bleeding Autism]]</ref> and dementia<ref>[[2017 tweets#Doopie defends Chris]]</ref> were responsible for his inactivity.

In [[June 2017]], Chris began making regular updates to the comic again, completing ''Sonichu'' #11 that month and ''Sonichu'' #12 in October. Chris announced that ''Sonichu'' #13 would be an [[Chris and copyright|unofficial]] crossover with [[Planet Dolan]] but was scrapped after he had a falling out with [[DoopieDoOver]]. In its place, Chris announced [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]]. 12-9 would be based around [[My Little Pony]] and feature a [[Night Star|new self-insert of his]], revolving almost entirely around ponies.

Partway through the development of #12-9, Chris's work on the comic broke down. Before #12-9 had been complete, Chris began working on ''Sonichu'' #14, which was to return to the normal ''Sonichu'' setting. He soon spilled paint on the first few unfinished pages and [[Financhu Crisis|sold them]] on [[eBay]] for a quick buck, presumably scrapping his work once again. Chris apparently still intended to complete #14, as he announced [[Sonichu 15|''Sonichu'' #15]]. The comic was intended as a remake/[[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|reboot]] of the early issues. This was derailed after Chris found the fancomic "[[Things Chris has ripped off|Rosechu's Story]]", which he began to plagiarize instead of making an original story for #15.

Sonichu 15 was put on hold when communication with the [[Idea Guys]] began. These trolls made Chris illustrate [[Idea Guys#Ideas|their own narrative]], which heavily focused on the [[Nazis#Idea Guys|politically incorrect]], retcons, and generally horrible, unfunny things. Several pages were leaked in January 2018 by [[Kiwi Farms]] users in contact with the Idea Guys. After months without updates, Chris revealed in May 2018 that he had continued to work on #16, but was hesitant to release the nearly-finished comic now that he realized the Idea Guys had such an influence on it. Sonichu 16 was sent to Patreon supporters in fall of that year.

On 26 June 2019, Chris uploaded eight new pages for a new issue of ''Sonichu'' designed to be a sequel to ''Sonichu'' #16. Two days later, in a Patreon post, he would renumber issues #14, #15, and #16. ''Sonichu'' #14 would be moved to [[Sonichu 16|#16]], ''Sonichu'' #16 would be renamed ''[[Sonichu 13|The Awakening of a CPU aka The Idea Guy Corruptions]],'' (later renamed to issue #13<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#The Idea Guys.27 nonsense was meant to be]]</ref>) and the new issue would be numbered issue [[Sonichu 14|14]].

[[Sonichu 17|''Sonichu'' #17]] was later revealed to exist, but only its cover has been seen. It appears to be influenced by the Idea Guys.

Issues [[Sonichu 14|14]], [[Sonichu 15|15]], [[Sonichu 16|16]] and [[Sonichu 17|17]] are incomplete, and Chris has not updated any of them for around two years as of 2021.

On 11 September 2020, when asked what he felt were the best ''Sonichu'' issues, he would reply with (in no particular order) ''Sonichu'' #0, ''Sonichu'' #12-9, and ''Sonichu'' #15 [[Ego| (all of which are origin stories for a self insert character)]].<ref>[[Discord Q&A 6#Best episode of Sonichu?]]</ref>

==Currently==

Like all people, Chris was at his most productive when he is motivated. The unfortunate truth is that much of Chris's motivation in earlier years came from trolls and ''being'' trolled. He has created [[List of videos|hundreds of videos]] under the influence of trolls; the same could be said for the ''Sonichu'' comics. While Chris claims that the stress from trolls prevented him from writing comics, the opposite is likely true. ''Sonichu'' issues 8 through 10 were all created during the [[Christorical eras#Classic Trolling: 2007 to 2011|classic trolling era]], and they happen to be some of the longest comics Chris has ever made (each one around 100 pages long, compared to the usual 50-or-so page length for ''Sonichu'' comics). After those, ''Sonichu'' 11 was finished eight years after it was started, with no content in it relating to trolls. Much of the content in issue 12-9 is inspired by [[Jessica Quinn]] and the Idea Guys (who ostensibly began their mind games with Chris in order to get him to work on his comic more frequently), all of whom are trolls. The Idea Guys were even able to force an entire issue out of Chris on their own, due in no small part to their emotional manipulation and extortion of him. The only outlier of a comic post-classic-trolling-era is ''Sonichu'' 12, which was finished in half a year and had nothing to do with trolls; Chris's motivation to create #12 stemmed from his burgeoning relationship with the LGBT community.

Simply put, Chris had no real reason to be writing and illustrating new ''Sonichu'' comics, which quite bluntly have always been an exercise in boosting his self-esteem rather than an exercise in creating a coherent narrative for his own characters. The relative [[Naïve|innocence]] of the original ''Sonichu'' comics (before trolling) has long since been lost, and Chris's has generally been less productive on a creative level than since the ousting of the Idea Guys. A lack of long-term relationships has left Chris's motivation for art stagnant, while his [[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction|delusions]] festered. While it was not impossible for Chris to complete any of his unfinished ''Sonichu'' comics, it was unlikely he would do so without making a change in his life. And anyone that though that ''they'' should be that "change" in his life would quickly learn that [[Weening#Arguments against weening|trolling Chris is a bad idea]].

Following Chris's arrest and pending trial for his incest charges, it seems highly unlikely that the comic will continue under Chris. Even presuming that he gets out of jail, the fact that he's virtually unemployable and can no longer make money off of platforms like [[Patreon]], which would be the only way he could ensure a stream of income for himself. The number of people willing to financially support Chris has also decreased considerably in light of what he's done, even if he could find a platform that could financially support him. It seems that the days of zapping to the extreme have come to a close for good, although with that in mind, there's nothing to stop the [[True and Loyal Fanbase]] from creating fan continuations or other fan works of their own.

On 17 [[December 2019]], Chris uploaded a complete set of the ''Sonichu'' series, including comics 0 through 13 of the main series, but also two fan comics that he has officially endorsed, to [[Chris and business#Storefronts|CWCville Shopping]]. Not being derived from his own [[CWCisms#G|geinus]], they are a step below [[TRUE and HONEST]] ''Sonichu'' canon. Nevertheless he has sanctioned them as mostly true to his vision, and is exploiting these fruits of others' labors [[Chris and money|financially]].

==Marketing==
In his [[August 2009]] [[resume|résumé]], Chris stated that his dream was to "get me paper-published with a comic book company like Archie, Marvel, DC or Dark Horse comics". He finally made this happen – sort of – in [[September 2015]], when he discovered {{w|Lulu (company)|Lulu.com}} and put a bound copy of ''Sonichu'' #0 for sale for ten bucks. A print version of Book #1 appeared the following month. Although his Lulu account disappeared from public view after about a week, he continued to offer the books (autographed upon request) on [[Etsy]]. He made routine updates on [[Facebook]].

A recipient of the first issue provided a review:<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (other users)#Review of Printed Sonichu Comic]]</ref>

{{quoteboxgreen|The cover is pixelated and shitty, Chris really obviously just stretched out whatever resized image he happened to have on his PC at the time, rather than rescan the original or do anything that required any effort.

The spine is completely fucked up, and spills over onto the back of the book, making it totally useless – the bottom half of text can't be viewed from the side. If by some shitty reason you ever wanted to buy multiple future issues to put on your shelf, you'd never be able to tell which one is which. I don't know if this is because he just copied/pasted a book spine he ''assumed'' would work, or if he really underestimated how big the book would be. Probably both. The result is that the cover is one of the worst things in comic history. It honestly is so poorly done and so low quality that if Chris wasn't ''saying'' it was his I would assume this was a troll attempt to make him look bad.

The back cover is significantly less pixelated, but still looks like garbage because it is, of course, drawn all in markers and pen by Chris.

The paper used is matte and looks like the lowest quality/cheapest option he could get it printed on. Someone else mentioned it looks like "draft" quality and that pictures make it better – it seriously is so ugly and the resolution so low, it looks like a test page, and I can't even capture how shitty it is on camera. I've purchased comics from Lulu before, and they weren't nearly this bad, so there must be varying levels of publishing quality (or Lulu themselves has dropped in quality significantly – it's been years) and Chris picked the worst.

So, it's exactly what you expect. Low quality and no effort by Chris other than uploading it. He didn't even check to see if things fit on the ''cover''.}}

'''Overview'''

* Handmade item
* Materials: paper, ink
* Made to order
* Ships worldwide from Ruckersville, Virginia

'''Item Details'''

This is a Preorder of a Printed version of my first Sonichu Comic Book, #0. It will be in Comic Book size and paper format. The reserve price is an estimate, and it allows room for the print set of Book #1, which follows Book #0.

See the hand drawn beginnings of Sonichu and Rosechu, as well as their classic and romantic coming together and meet, the meeting and battle against [[Naitsirhc]], a few past drawn classic comic strips, and the first of a few [[sub-episodes]] featuring the artist/author, years before finding herself, feeling lost and searching for true love from friendship, intended, but finds constant troubles from the past goons of her arch nemesis, [[Count Graduon]] (with holstered help from the witch, [[Mary Lee Walsh|Slaweel Ryam]]).

(Of which SEGA is still quoted for their Sonic characters, but I have my own personal copyright on Sonichu, Rosechu, and everything else therein. Also, any names, or persons, illustrated in any of the Sonichu Comics, except that of my own, that may seem similar to anyone in real life or wherever else, are purely coincidental or otherwise parodic, and not cannon to their source stories and/or formats). Also, the legal page, and the corner author note on the front will be updated to respectively match my current name and other related items. The contents of this and the other completed and future books have been edited to allow the age range to be for the TV-Y7 and above.

It will take me a week or two to put together the pages into the publishing site's template size, uploading them there, and then it will take up to another four weeks for them to print and ship the books to me, so I can autograph them and send them each off to each person who will have reserved a copy. Therefore, the estimated wait time for the books' full completion will be as late as the end of October of this year.

Also, please do continue to show me your support by buying a medal, an amiibo figure, or donate towards my creation and peace of mind cause. Thank You, and have a Great and Safe Day.

On 23 September, Chris edited the first paragraph of this description to read:

{{quotebox|

ONLY by ordering it through me, will I have the chance to personally autograph your copy of the book for you. Otherwise, you may go to the listing on lulu.com and order a physical copy for yourself there as well. My price here covers shipping from there to me, and then to you. Thank you.}}

In the second week of October, however, his Lulu account went down, and he had to change this again:

{{quotebox|

The advantage of having it not autographed, being I can order it from the printer and have it shipped to your address, but it won't be in a comic book sleeve. And each copy sent from me will be shipped in a plastic Comic Book Sleeve with cardboard lining, inside a large envelope. My price here covers shipping from there to me, and then to you.

'''Item Details'''

Contains 96 Pages; Recommended for people Ages Seven and Up.

In this SPECIAL Book, archived and retold are the past short adventures of the past Christian Weston Chandler, LONG Before coming out as a Lesbian TransWoman, during the days of his Sweetheart Search, of which were constantly thwarted by the Jerkops and Janekops, sent by the evil Count Graduon and Slaweel Ryam, in Their actions towards making True Love and Being Sweethearts ILLEGAL and LOST in the City of Cwcville, followed by the State of Virginia, Then the United States, and the world! But the Artist and Creator, and Mayor of Cwcville, refuses to stand down and give up in finding the One Woman WHO will be his One True Sweetheart, seeded from the Ground-Up with Good and Honest Face-To-Face Friendship!, along with new short chapter segments to conclude this set of sub-episodes.

Seriously, though: MEETING PEOPLE ONLINE, Communicating for WEEKS to MONTHS, even YEARS(?), Before EVER Meeting Face-to-Face IN PERSON, which is VITAL and REQUIRED for ANY True and Real Friendship AND Relationship... That is Plain NO GOOD! What happened to the days of EVERYONE Actually being Friendly towards one another in the towns and cities; even In This WORLD? WHY do we have to Fear Each Other for the FEAR and Unknown that has stemmed from Wars, Attacks, and Bad People? OMFG!!! Are we ALL so Bleeding Paranoid that we are forced into a Sense of Psuedo-Autism by remaining CONSTANTLY with our faces looking at Screens and Monitors, with LACK of REAL Eye Contact from Initial In Person, Face-to-Face MEETINGS at a Bar, Shopping Mall, College Library, or Coffee Shop?! Not Only do I, PERSONALLY, Suck at Meeting and Communicating with People ONLINE, ESPECIALLY to Establish Honest and Real and True Relationships in the Trials and Errors that are Not Only More Efficient and Better WITHOUT Hiding Behind Screens and Monitors,... *sigh* BUT I remain Constantly LONELY and Freaking SHY from Lack of Women ACTUALLY offering me their Time of Day Or Interest, Face-To-Face. But I digress.

==Future plotlines==
Over the years Chris has dropped a few hints about specific plotlines. At one point he stated, ''"[[Metal Sonichu|METAL SONICHU]] is NOT a secondary character; HE will be making his return as a MAJOR VILLIAN after Book 11 Possessed by the soul of Count Graduon."''<ref>[[CWC Blog#12 January 2010]]</ref> He later elaborated, ''"Count Graduon will be the Major Villain beyond ''[''Sonichu'' #10]'', possessing the [[Metal Sonichu]] that crashed on [[the moon]] back in [[Sonichu 1|Book 1]].''<ref>[[Wallflower E-mails]]</ref> The issue may also move to [[RuleCWC]]: Chris has said that ''"[[Darkbind]] and [[Zelina]] will be fighting [[Clawdorf]] with great sword and bow/arrow battles."''<ref>[[Mailbag 52]]</ref>

There may also be a lack of [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Great Director intrusion]]: ''"After [[Sonichu 10|Book 10]], I will be making LESS personal appearances in the pages, as having done so was a big mistake, because I had got carried away with the [[Love quest|trials and tribulations]] in my life, [[Man in the Pickle Suit|real]] and [[BlueSpike|online]], that it completely messed me up."''<ref>[[Mailbag 53]]</ref>

Since then, Count Graduon and Metal Sonichu have only reappeared once in [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]], RuleCWC has not been seen since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], and Chris broke his promise to cut down on his appearances in the comic with [[Sonichu 13|''Sonichu'' #13]].

'''''Sonichu''''' is [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]'s official life work, magnum opus, and largest contribution to society and culture. To most, however, it is a poorly-[[Chris and art|drawn]] and [[Chris and writing|written]] comic book series about the adventures and travels that befall [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|a fictionalized version of himself]] and his [[imaginary friends]]. Despite starting out as a comic about the titular character, it quickly turned into a wish-fulfillment outlet for Chris and his depraved fantasies, with [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] being a main character in name only, playing second fiddle to Chris's primary {{w|Mary Sue}} self-insert. Other characters include [[Rosechu]] and Chris's many other self-inserts.

The comic began on 24 November 2004 and updated intermittently throughout the next fifteen years, with its last significant update published on 27 June 2019. Chris wanted the series to last anywhere between 75 and 100 issues, although he was in no hurry to accomplish such a feat due to multiple extended hiatuses. Following Chris's [[Affair with Mother|incest]] charges, it seems unlikely that Chris will ever finish the series even if he completes his sentence.

==Introduction==
[[Image:SonicVsSonichu.jpg|thumb|180px|{{w|Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics)|THE WORLD'S MOST WAY PAST COOL COMIC!}}]]

Chris first drew [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in March 2000 after being told that he could not use [[Chris and copyright|a copyrighted character]] on a class project, so he instead came up with a [[Things Chris has ripped off|TRUE]] and [[OC|ORIGINAL]] character plagiarizing from two of his favorite video games: ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and ''[[Pokémon]]''. Later, Chris would put his web programming skills to task and come up with [[CWC's Sonichu Site!]], which showcased his various illustrations of his pride and joy. Over time, Chris would draw new characters in his own little universe that were more blatant rip-offs of the source material that he was inspired by, such as [[Rosechu]] and [[Blake]], and so Chris began to put together a couple of simple, single-page or two-page narratives for his growing cast of characters.

For a while, many of these comics were actually focused on the adventures of these characters, with no real references to the outside world, but over time, he would start to put himself into these comic strips. Dissatisfaction with his own life led Chris to use the comic as a [[Chris and coping|coping mechanism]] to achieve a sense of [[Chris and his ego|wish fulfillment]]. Since he was coming up with his story (and nothing less), he could team up with his "original" creations and make things right in [[CWCville|his idealized fantasy world]].

The inadvertent shattering of his heart from [[Sarah Hammer]], along with the expulsion from English class and the confrontation with [[Mary Lee Walsh]], provided the impetus for Christian to kick-start the comic series in full force, turning real-life figures that he encountered into citizens and villains for him and his OCs to interact with. The series initially served as a complement to his [[Love Quest]] as a feeble attempt to link an accomplishment, or boost his own self-worth to unsuspecting prey; after all, Sonichu ''is'' "Zappin' to the Extreme!" He is Christian Weston Chandler's ''only'' son, and the first ''way past cooler'' [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]]!

The comics series was originally hosted on the various incarnations of Christian's [[Sonichu site|homepage]] (as seen in the [[CWCipedia]] archive). In 2013 he began to upload the comics as albums on his [[Facebook]] page, and he affirmed in 2015, when he picked up the comic again, that this would be the place to find new pages. In [[September 2015]] he finally began to sell printed and autographed issues on [[Etsy]] and Lulu.com. The comic was originally promoted from now-defunct ''Sonichu'' business cards, and he has since graduated to flyers. Each new addition to the series proudly sports a "To be continued..." disclaimer page. In fact, the comics are not updated with any regular frequency: in the twenty years since the character's creation, Chris has only completed fifteen issues, even though he has zero responsibilities and unlimited free time. Chris has claimed that in total, he plans to complete 50 to 100 issues in his lifetime,<ref>[[CWC Personal Sonichu Presentation]]</ref> meaning that he's 15 to 30% of the way there.

==Reader's Guide to ''Sonichu''==
{{quote|[[Chris and art|My art]] [[Chris and his ego|speaks for me.]]|Chris<ref>[[I Am The TRUE, Original Christopher Christian Weston Chandler; No Ifs, Ands or Buts]]</ref>}}

===How-to and Overview===
[[Image:Sonichu - Jargon Page.jpg|thumb|180px|The ever infamous JARGON page.]]

To start off, the comics don't appear to have a consistent numbering system in place, this can make it tricky to organize them. For example, the ''Sonichu'' series began with issue #0 instead of #1. Chris also decided to assign one of the books as "Issue #12-9" to avoid associating his Pony OC [[Nightstar]] with the number 13. The book itself was originally going to be "Issue #13", with [[Planet Dolan]] as the subject matter instead. Despite that, there was an actual "Issue #13", but only for a bunch of vaguely connected ideas brainwashed into Chris by the [[Idea Guys]] with no actual narrative in sight. The numbering of every subsequent comic book continues from there. Adding to the confusion are the "Specials", which were numbered separately from the main comics.

Adding to the confusing numbering system, Chris uses a bunch of television lingo when referring to his stories. Each issue up to Issue #12-9 contained multiple separately-numbered "episodes" and "sub-episodes". Due to the incoherent narrative structure of the stories along with their inconsistent numbering system, readers often lost track of which story happened in which issue. For example, [[Black Sonichu]] (now known as Blake) was introduced in Episode #4, which was the fifth story in the overall series and the first story in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which was in turn the second comic. Further confounding matters were the [[Sub-Episodes]] about Chris's [[Love Quest]], which appeared in issues #0-4, and again were numbered separately from the main stories.

Issues #0 and #1 featured [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] as the unchallenged star of the series, with [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Chris]] as a supporting character also appearing in the backup strips. By issue #2, the comic had abruptly transitioned to Chris encountering people from his real life in shitty [[anime]] battles. Token attempts to tell Sonichu stories and introduce Sonichu spin-off characters were made in #3, but all pretense was dropped in #4-#7 as the series becomes a vehicle for Chris, as the leader of a heroic [[Chaotic Combo|band of recolors]], to battle against [[Mary Lee Walsh|a college dean]], a group of ineffectual [[Jerkop|security guards]], [[manajerks|store managers]], and later on, [[trolls|Internet trolls]] and [[Alec Benson Leary|other people who made fun of the comic]]. Originally it was mostly innocent and harmless, being the by-product of a simple man with a childish imagination, until it became an outlet to call out trolls, explore his depraved [[Sonichu 8|sexual desires]] and live out his [[Sonichu 10|violent revenge fantasies]].

[[Image:ComicTBCont.jpg|thumb|left|180px|TO BE CONTINUED (c.) 2001-????]]
The comic series was presented as if it were a cartoon or [[anime]] (which might explain why the comics mimic visual effects that work in an audiovisual context but fail on paper), and was encapsulated into ''seasons'' with various episodes (or "series", for our European friends). [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] was intended to wrap up the "first season" of ''Sonichu''. This opened a can of worms as to the current vision of the comics: was ''Sonichu'' intended to be the hit action/adventure soap-opera TV show that is broadcast in [[CWCville]], or was it the historical documentation of Chris's and Sonichu's life and times? Perhaps it was destined to be the Gospel from the Stay-at-Home Autistic Virgin Male, [[Chris and religion#Delusions of Godhood.3F|''hallowed be His name'']]. Either way, it remained unanswered whether Chris continues on with the series because he has a vain, misguided belief that some TRUE and HONEST soul would consider these as "storyboards" for proper licensing and production.

===Art imitating life===
Sensing some criticism for the self-centeredness of his work, Chris wrote himself out of the series toward the end of [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], trapping the Chris character in the [[Time Void]] so that the storyline could focus on other characters. Despite this, Sonichu still served as a strong Mary Sue character, as seen in Sonichu fighting [[4-cent garbage.com]] in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], as well as the clear Sue tendencies of [[Reginald Sneasel]].

He returned from the Time Void at the end of [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], giving all non-Chris characters approximately one issue to have the spotlight to themselves, during which they mostly talked about how much they loved Chris and hoped he would return safely. On the final page of the issue, Chris claimed that he would write himself out of the series permanently, giving his characters the opportunity to shine on their own. He went back on this promise almost the moment he made it — issue #10 is one of the most Chris-centric of the entire series.

Following the theft of his [[Medallions of Fail]] by [[Blanca]], Chris immediately released a new comic adapting the theft into his canon and explaining that the TRUE source of his power lay in his [[Amnyfest Ring]]. Since this story was necessarily set after Chris escapes the Time Void, it was deemed a special preview of ''Sonichu'' #10, despite the fact that Chris had at that point not finished ''Sonichu'' #8 nor begun ''Sonichu'' #9.

Chris started ''Sonichu'' #11 in [[December 2009]] and completed ''Sonichu'' #10 in [[February 2010]]. He produced a revised ending to issue #10 in [[October 2010]].<ref>[[Book10Replacement]]</ref> After a long inspirationless lull, he began churning out new pages of Sonichu #11 in [[September 2015]].

==Hiatuses==
Chris has regularly lost motivation to draw comics throughout the run of the series. Without a single job held for the past 18 years, he has all the time in the world and only lacks a drive to create.

Along with the abandonment of the [[CWCipedia]] in 2010, [[Sonichu 11]] was put on hiatus later that year. Chris claimed that the trolls drained his creativity and scared him away from drawing any more ''Sonichu''.<ref>[[DrainedCreativity]]</ref>

{{Quote|I have not ended Sonichu; I only lost inspiration to draw, thanks to [[Trolls|the people online]].|Chris in 2010, on the hiatus of ''[[Sonichu 11]]''<ref>[[Jackie Chat 3]]</ref>.}}

After five years of Chris sporadically mentioning the possibility of continuing the comic, on 4 [[September 2015]], he finally added new content to ''Sonichu''. 11 new pages were added to [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]] that day. He said that new pages would be added "maybe every other week". 27 pages were uploaded in 2015, but these updates were not to last; no pages were uploaded in 2016. Chris claimed that ADD<ref>[[February 2016 Facebook Posts#Bleeding Autism]]</ref> and dementia<ref>[[2017 tweets#Doopie defends Chris]]</ref> were responsible for his inactivity.

In [[June 2017]], Chris began making regular updates to the comic again, completing ''Sonichu'' #11 that month and ''Sonichu'' #12 in October. Chris announced that ''Sonichu'' #13 would be an [[Chris and copyright|unofficial]] crossover with [[Planet Dolan]] but was scrapped after he had a falling out with [[DoopieDoOver]]. In its place, Chris announced [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]]. 12-9 would be based around [[My Little Pony]] and feature a [[Night Star|new self-insert of his]], revolving almost entirely around ponies.

Partway through the development of #12-9, Chris's work on the comic broke down. Before #12-9 had been complete, Chris began working on ''Sonichu'' #14, which was to return to the normal ''Sonichu'' setting. He soon spilled paint on the first few unfinished pages and [[Financhu Crisis|sold them]] on [[eBay]] for a quick buck, presumably scrapping his work once again. Chris apparently still intended to complete #14, as he announced [[Sonichu 15|''Sonichu'' #15]]. The comic was intended as a remake/[[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|reboot]] of the early issues. This was derailed after Chris found the fancomic "[[Things Chris has ripped off|Rosechu's Story]]", which he began to plagiarize instead of making an original story for #15.

Sonichu 15 was put on hold when communication with the [[Idea Guys]] began. These trolls made Chris illustrate [[Idea Guys#Ideas|their own narrative]], which heavily focused on the [[Nazis#Idea Guys|politically incorrect]], retcons, and generally horrible, unfunny things. Several pages were leaked in January 2018 by [[Kiwi Farms]] users in contact with the Idea Guys. After months without updates, Chris revealed in May 2018 that he had continued to work on #16, but was hesitant to release the nearly-finished comic now that he realized the Idea Guys had such an influence on it. Sonichu 16 was sent to Patreon supporters in fall of that year.

On 26 June 2019, Chris uploaded eight new pages for a new issue of ''Sonichu'' designed to be a sequel to ''Sonichu'' #16. Two days later, in a Patreon post, he would renumber issues #14, #15, and #16. ''Sonichu'' #14 would be moved to [[Sonichu 16|#16]], ''Sonichu'' #16 would be renamed ''[[Sonichu 13|The Awakening of a CPU aka The Idea Guy Corruptions]],'' (later renamed to issue #13<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#The Idea Guys.27 nonsense was meant to be]]</ref>) and the new issue would be numbered issue [[Sonichu 14|14]].

[[Sonichu 17|''Sonichu'' #17]] was later revealed to exist, but only its cover has been seen. It appears to be influenced by the Idea Guys.

Issues [[Sonichu 14|14]], [[Sonichu 15|15]], [[Sonichu 16|16]] and [[Sonichu 17|17]] are incomplete, and Chris has not updated any of them for around two years as of 2021.

On 11 September 2020, when asked what he felt were the best ''Sonichu'' issues, he would reply with (in no particular order) ''Sonichu'' #0, ''Sonichu'' #12-9, and ''Sonichu'' #15 [[Ego| (all of which are origin stories for a self insert character)]].<ref>[[Discord Q&A 6#Best episode of Sonichu?]]</ref>

==Currently==

Like all people, Chris was at his most productive when he is motivated. The unfortunate truth is that much of Chris's motivation in earlier years came from trolls and ''being'' trolled. He has created [[List of videos|hundreds of videos]] under the influence of trolls; the same could be said for the ''Sonichu'' comics. While Chris claims that the stress from trolls prevented him from writing comics, the opposite is likely true. ''Sonichu'' issues 8 through 10 were all created during the [[Christorical eras#Classic Trolling: 2007 to 2011|classic trolling era]], and they happen to be some of the longest comics Chris has ever made (each one around 100 pages long, compared to the usual 50-or-so page length for ''Sonichu'' comics). After those, ''Sonichu'' 11 was finished eight years after it was started, with no content in it relating to trolls. Much of the content in issue 12-9 is inspired by [[Jessica Quinn]] and the Idea Guys (who ostensibly began their mind games with Chris in order to get him to work on his comic more frequently), all of whom are trolls. The Idea Guys were even able to force an entire issue out of Chris on their own, due in no small part to their emotional manipulation and extortion of him. The only outlier of a comic post-classic-trolling-era is ''Sonichu'' 12, which was finished in half a year and had nothing to do with trolls; Chris's motivation to create #12 stemmed from his burgeoning relationship with the LGBT community.

Simply put, Chris had no real reason to be writing and illustrating new ''Sonichu'' comics, which quite bluntly have always been an exercise in boosting his self-esteem rather than an exercise in creating a coherent narrative for his own characters. The relative [[Naïve|innocence]] of the original ''Sonichu'' comics (before trolling) has long since been lost, and Chris's has generally been less productive on a creative level than since the ousting of the Idea Guys. A lack of long-term relationships has left Chris's motivation for art stagnant, while his [[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction|delusions]] festered. While it was not impossible for Chris to complete any of his unfinished ''Sonichu'' comics, it was unlikely he would do so without making a change in his life. And anyone that though that ''they'' should be that "change" in his life would quickly learn that [[Weening#Arguments against weening|trolling Chris is a bad idea]].

Following Chris's arrest and pending trial for his incest charges, it seems highly unlikely that the comic will continue under Chris. Even presuming that he gets out of jail, the fact that he's virtually unemployable and can no longer make money off of platforms like [[Patreon]], which would be the only way he could ensure a stream of income for himself. The number of people willing to financially support Chris has also decreased considerably in light of what he's done, even if he could find a platform that could financially support him. It seems that the days of zapping to the extreme have come to a close for good, although with that in mind, there's nothing to stop the [[True and Loyal Fanbase]] from creating fan continuations or other fan works of their own.

{{Protip|We advise that you don't make [[Ben Saint|any more comics of your own]] to implement in Chris's canon. It makes you look just as stupid as Chris when he did it alone.}}

On 17 [[December 2019]], Chris uploaded a complete set of the ''Sonichu'' series, including comics 0 through 13 of the main series, but also two fan comics that he has officially endorsed, to [[Chris and business#Storefronts|CWCville Shopping]]. Not being derived from his own [[CWCisms#G|geinus]], they are a step below [[TRUE and HONEST]] ''Sonichu'' canon. Nevertheless he has sanctioned them as mostly true to his vision, and is exploiting these fruits of others' labors [[Chris and money|financially]].

==Marketing==
In his [[August 2009]] [[resume|résumé]], Chris stated that his dream was to "get me paper-published with a comic book company like Archie, Marvel, DC or Dark Horse comics". He finally made this happen – sort of – in [[September 2015]], when he discovered {{w|Lulu (company)|Lulu.com}} and put a bound copy of ''Sonichu'' #0 for sale for ten bucks. A print version of Book #1 appeared the following month. Although his Lulu account disappeared from public view after about a week, he continued to offer the books (autographed upon request) on [[Etsy]]. He made routine updates on [[Facebook]].

A recipient of the first issue provided a review:<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (other users)#Review of Printed Sonichu Comic]]</ref>

{{quoteboxgreen|The cover is pixelated and shitty, Chris really obviously just stretched out whatever resized image he happened to have on his PC at the time, rather than rescan the original or do anything that required any effort.

The spine is completely fucked up, and spills over onto the back of the book, making it totally useless – the bottom half of text can't be viewed from the side. If by some shitty reason you ever wanted to buy multiple future issues to put on your shelf, you'd never be able to tell which one is which. I don't know if this is because he just copied/pasted a book spine he ''assumed'' would work, or if he really underestimated how big the book would be. Probably both. The result is that the cover is one of the worst things in comic history. It honestly is so poorly done and so low quality that if Chris wasn't ''saying'' it was his I would assume this was a troll attempt to make him look bad.

The back cover is significantly less pixelated, but still looks like garbage because it is, of course, drawn all in markers and pen by Chris.

The paper used is matte and looks like the lowest quality/cheapest option he could get it printed on. Someone else mentioned it looks like "draft" quality and that pictures make it better – it seriously is so ugly and the resolution so low, it looks like a test page, and I can't even capture how shitty it is on camera. I've purchased comics from Lulu before, and they weren't nearly this bad, so there must be varying levels of publishing quality (or Lulu themselves has dropped in quality significantly – it's been years) and Chris picked the worst.

So, it's exactly what you expect. Low quality and no effort by Chris other than uploading it. He didn't even check to see if things fit on the ''cover''.}}

'''Overview'''

* Handmade item
* Materials: paper, ink
* Made to order
* Ships worldwide from Ruckersville, Virginia

'''Item Details'''

This is a Preorder of a Printed version of my first Sonichu Comic Book, #0. It will be in Comic Book size and paper format. The reserve price is an estimate, and it allows room for the print set of Book #1, which follows Book #0.

See the hand drawn beginnings of Sonichu and Rosechu, as well as their classic and romantic coming together and meet, the meeting and battle against [[Naitsirhc]], a few past drawn classic comic strips, and the first of a few [[sub-episodes]] featuring the artist/author, years before finding herself, feeling lost and searching for true love from friendship, intended, but finds constant troubles from the past goons of her arch nemesis, [[Count Graduon]] (with holstered help from the witch, [[Mary Lee Walsh|Slaweel Ryam]]).

(Of which SEGA is still quoted for their Sonic characters, but I have my own personal copyright on Sonichu, Rosechu, and everything else therein. Also, any names, or persons, illustrated in any of the Sonichu Comics, except that of my own, that may seem similar to anyone in real life or wherever else, are purely coincidental or otherwise parodic, and not cannon to their source stories and/or formats). Also, the legal page, and the corner author note on the front will be updated to respectively match my current name and other related items. The contents of this and the other completed and future books have been edited to allow the age range to be for the TV-Y7 and above.

It will take me a week or two to put together the pages into the publishing site's template size, uploading them there, and then it will take up to another four weeks for them to print and ship the books to me, so I can autograph them and send them each off to each person who will have reserved a copy. Therefore, the estimated wait time for the books' full completion will be as late as the end of October of this year.

Also, please do continue to show me your support by buying a medal, an amiibo figure, or donate towards my creation and peace of mind cause. Thank You, and have a Great and Safe Day.

On 23 September, Chris edited the first paragraph of this description to read:

Otherwise, you may go to the listing on lulu.com and order a physical copy for yourself there as well. My price here covers shipping from there to me, and then to you. Thank you.}}

In the second week of October, however, his Lulu account went down, and he had to change this again:

'''Item Details'''

Contains 96 Pages; Recommended for people Ages Seven and Up.

In this SPECIAL Book, archived and retold are the past short adventures of the past Christian Weston Chandler, LONG Before coming out as a Lesbian TransWoman, during the days of his Sweetheart Search, of which were constantly thwarted by the Jerkops and Janekops, sent by the evil Count Graduon and Slaweel Ryam, in Their actions towards making True Love and Being Sweethearts ILLEGAL and LOST in the City of Cwcville, followed by the State of Virginia, Then the United States, and the world! But the Artist and Creator, and Mayor of Cwcville, refuses to stand down and give up in finding the One Woman WHO will be his One True Sweetheart, seeded from the Ground-Up with Good and Honest Face-To-Face Friendship!, along with new short chapter segments to conclude this set of sub-episodes.

Seriously, though: MEETING PEOPLE ONLINE, Communicating for WEEKS to MONTHS, even YEARS(?), Before EVER Meeting Face-to-Face IN PERSON, which is VITAL and REQUIRED for ANY True and Real Friendship AND Relationship... That is Plain NO GOOD! What happened to the days of EVERYONE Actually being Friendly towards one another in the towns and cities; even In This WORLD? WHY do we have to Fear Each Other for the FEAR and Unknown that has stemmed from Wars, Attacks, and Bad People? OMFG!!! Are we ALL so Bleeding Paranoid that we are forced into a Sense of Psuedo-Autism by remaining CONSTANTLY with our faces looking at Screens and Monitors, with LACK of REAL Eye Contact from Initial In Person, Face-to-Face MEETINGS at a Bar, Shopping Mall, College Library, or Coffee Shop?! Not Only do I, PERSONALLY, Suck at Meeting and Communicating with People ONLINE, ESPECIALLY to Establish Honest and Real and True Relationships in the Trials and Errors that are Not Only More Efficient and Better WITHOUT Hiding Behind Screens and Monitors,... *sigh* BUT I remain Constantly LONELY and Freaking SHY from Lack of Women ACTUALLY offering me their Time of Day Or Interest, Face-To-Face.

==Future plotlines==
Over the years Chris has dropped a few hints about specific plotlines. At one point he stated, ''"[[Metal Sonichu|METAL SONICHU]] is NOT a secondary character; HE will be making his return as a MAJOR VILLIAN after Book 11 Possessed by the soul of Count Graduon."''<ref>[[CWC Blog#12 January 2010]]</ref> He later elaborated, ''"Count Graduon will be the Major Villain beyond ''[''Sonichu'' #10]'', possessing the [[Metal Sonichu]] that crashed on [[the moon]] back in [[Sonichu 1|Book 1]].''<ref>[[Wallflower E-mails]]</ref> The issue may also move to [[RuleCWC]]: Chris has said that ''"[[Darkbind]] and [[Zelina]] will be fighting [[Clawdorf]] with great sword and bow/arrow battles."''<ref>[[Mailbag 52]]</ref>

There may also be a lack of [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Great Director intrusion]]: ''"After [[Sonichu 10|Book 10]], I will be making LESS personal appearances in the pages, as having done so was a big mistake, because I had got carried away with the [[Love quest|trials and tribulations]] in my life, [[Man in the Pickle Suit|real]] and [[BlueSpike|online]], that it completely messed me up."''<ref>[[Mailbag 53]]</ref>

Since then, Count Graduon and Metal Sonichu have only reappeared once in [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]], RuleCWC has not been seen since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], and Chris broke his promise to cut down on his appearances in the comic with [[Sonichu 13|''Sonichu'' #13]].

There is no joy, no fun in CWCville – there is only layer upon layer of '''horror'''.|A now-deleted "So Bad, It's Horrible" entry from the [[User:Canine/TV Tropes| TV Tropes]] article, aptly describing the experience of reading ''Sonichu''.}}

'''''Sonichu''''' is [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]'s official life work, magnum opus, and largest contribution to society and culture. To most, however, it is a poorly-[[Chris and art|drawn]] and [[Chris and writing|written]] comic book series about the adventures and travels that befall [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|a fictionalized version of himself]] and his [[imaginary friends]]. Despite starting out as a comic about the titular character, it quickly turned into a wish-fulfillment outlet for Chris and his depraved fantasies, with [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] being a main character in name only, playing second fiddle to Chris's primary {{w|Mary Sue}} self-insert. Other characters include [[Rosechu]] and Chris's many other self-inserts.

The comic began on 24 November 2004 and updated intermittently throughout the next fifteen years, with its last significant update published on 27 June 2019. Chris wanted the series to last anywhere between 75 and 100 issues, although he was in no hurry to accomplish such a feat due to multiple extended hiatuses. Following Chris's [[Affair with Mother|incest]] charges, it seems unlikely that Chris will ever finish the series even if he completes his sentence.

==Introduction==
[[Image:SonicVsSonichu.jpg|thumb|180px|{{w|Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics)|THE WORLD'S MOST WAY PAST COOL COMIC!}}]]

Chris first drew [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in March 2000 after being told that he could not use [[Chris and copyright|a copyrighted character]] on a class project, so he instead came up with a [[Things Chris has ripped off|TRUE]] and [[OC|ORIGINAL]] character plagiarizing from two of his favorite video games: ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and ''[[Pokémon]]''. Later, Chris would put his web programming skills to task and come up with [[CWC's Sonichu Site!]], which showcased his various illustrations of his pride and joy. Over time, Chris would draw new characters in his own little universe that were more blatant rip-offs of the source material that he was inspired by, such as [[Rosechu]] and [[Blake]], and so Chris began to put together a couple of simple, single-page or two-page narratives for his growing cast of characters.

For a while, many of these comics were actually focused on the adventures of these characters, with no real references to the outside world, but over time, he would start to put himself into these comic strips. Dissatisfaction with his own life led Chris to use the comic as a [[Chris and coping|coping mechanism]] to achieve a sense of [[Chris and his ego|wish fulfillment]]. Since he was coming up with his story (and nothing less), he could team up with his "original" creations and make things right in [[CWCville|his idealized fantasy world]].

The inadvertent shattering of his heart from [[Sarah Hammer]], along with the expulsion from English class and the confrontation with [[Mary Lee Walsh]], provided the impetus for Christian to kick-start the comic series in full force, turning real-life figures that he encountered into citizens and villains for him and his OCs to interact with. The series initially served as a complement to his [[Love Quest]] as a feeble attempt to link an accomplishment, or boost his own self-worth to unsuspecting prey; after all, Sonichu ''is'' "Zappin' to the Extreme!" He is Christian Weston Chandler's ''only'' son, and the first ''way past cooler'' [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]]!

The comics series was originally hosted on the various incarnations of Christian's [[Sonichu site|homepage]] (as seen in the [[CWCipedia]] archive). In 2013 he began to upload the comics as albums on his [[Facebook]] page, and he affirmed in 2015, when he picked up the comic again, that this would be the place to find new pages. In [[September 2015]] he finally began to sell printed and autographed issues on [[Etsy]] and Lulu.com. The comic was originally promoted from now-defunct ''Sonichu'' business cards, and he has since graduated to flyers. Each new addition to the series proudly sports a "To be continued..." disclaimer page. In fact, the comics are not updated with any regular frequency: in the twenty years since the character's creation, Chris has only completed fifteen issues, even though he has zero responsibilities and unlimited free time. Chris has claimed that in total, he plans to complete 50 to 100 issues in his lifetime,<ref>[[CWC Personal Sonichu Presentation]]</ref> meaning that he's 15 to 30% of the way there.

==Reader's Guide to ''Sonichu''==
{{quote|[[Chris and art|My art]] [[Chris and his ego|speaks for me.]]|Chris<ref>[[I Am The TRUE, Original Christopher Christian Weston Chandler; No Ifs, Ands or Buts]]</ref>}}

===How-to and Overview===
[[Image:Sonichu - Jargon Page.jpg|thumb|180px|The ever infamous JARGON page.]]

To start off, the comics don't appear to have a consistent numbering system in place, this can make it tricky to organize them. For example, the ''Sonichu'' series began with issue #0 instead of #1. Chris also decided to assign one of the books as "Issue #12-9" to avoid associating his Pony OC [[Nightstar]] with the number 13. The book itself was originally going to be "Issue #13", with [[Planet Dolan]] as the subject matter instead. Despite that, there was an actual "Issue #13", but only for a bunch of vaguely connected ideas brainwashed into Chris by the [[Idea Guys]] with no actual narrative in sight. The numbering of every subsequent comic book continues from there. Adding to the confusion are the "Specials", which were numbered separately from the main comics.

Adding to the confusing numbering system, Chris uses a bunch of television lingo when referring to his stories. Each issue up to Issue #12-9 contained multiple separately-numbered "episodes" and "sub-episodes". Due to the incoherent narrative structure of the stories along with their inconsistent numbering system, readers often lost track of which story happened in which issue. For example, [[Black Sonichu]] (now known as Blake) was introduced in Episode #4, which was the fifth story in the overall series and the first story in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which was in turn the second comic. Further confounding matters were the [[Sub-Episodes]] about Chris's [[Love Quest]], which appeared in issues #0-4, and again were numbered separately from the main stories.

Issues #0 and #1 featured [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] as the unchallenged star of the series, with [[Christian Weston Chandler (character)|Chris]] as a supporting character also appearing in the backup strips. By issue #2, the comic had abruptly transitioned to Chris encountering people from his real life in shitty [[anime]] battles. Token attempts to tell Sonichu stories and introduce Sonichu spin-off characters were made in #3, but all pretense was dropped in #4-#7 as the series becomes a vehicle for Chris, as the leader of a heroic [[Chaotic Combo|band of recolors]], to battle against [[Mary Lee Walsh|a college dean]], a group of ineffectual [[Jerkop|security guards]], [[manajerks|store managers]], and later on, [[trolls|Internet trolls]] and [[Alec Benson Leary|other people who made fun of the comic]]. Originally it was mostly innocent and harmless, being the by-product of a simple man with a childish imagination, until it became an outlet to call out trolls, explore his depraved [[Sonichu 8|sexual desires]] and live out his [[Sonichu 10|violent revenge fantasies]].

[[Image:ComicTBCont.jpg|thumb|left|180px|TO BE CONTINUED (c.) 2001-????]]
The comic series was presented as if it were a cartoon or [[anime]] (which might explain why the comics mimic visual effects that work in an audiovisual context but fail on paper), and was encapsulated into ''seasons'' with various episodes (or "series", for our European friends). [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] was intended to wrap up the "first season" of ''Sonichu''. This opened a can of worms as to the current vision of the comics: was ''Sonichu'' intended to be the hit action/adventure soap-opera TV show that is broadcast in [[CWCville]], or was it the historical documentation of Chris's and Sonichu's life and times? Perhaps it was destined to be the Gospel from the Stay-at-Home Autistic Virgin Male, [[Chris and religion#Delusions of Godhood.3F|''hallowed be His name'']]. Either way, it remained unanswered whether Chris continues on with the series because he has a vain, misguided belief that some TRUE and HONEST soul would consider these as "storyboards" for proper licensing and production.

===Art imitating life===
Sensing some criticism for the self-centeredness of his work, Chris wrote himself out of the series toward the end of [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], trapping the Chris character in the [[Time Void]] so that the storyline could focus on other characters. Despite this, Sonichu still served as a strong Mary Sue character, as seen in Sonichu fighting [[4-cent garbage.com]] in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], as well as the clear Sue tendencies of [[Reginald Sneasel]].

He returned from the Time Void at the end of [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], giving all non-Chris characters approximately one issue to have the spotlight to themselves, during which they mostly talked about how much they loved Chris and hoped he would return safely. On the final page of the issue, Chris claimed that he would write himself out of the series permanently, giving his characters the opportunity to shine on their own. He went back on this promise almost the moment he made it — issue #10 is one of the most Chris-centric of the entire series.

Following the theft of his [[Medallions of Fail]] by [[Blanca]], Chris immediately released a new comic adapting the theft into his canon and explaining that the TRUE source of his power lay in his [[Amnyfest Ring]]. Since this story was necessarily set after Chris escapes the Time Void, it was deemed a special preview of ''Sonichu'' #10, despite the fact that Chris had at that point not finished ''Sonichu'' #8 nor begun ''Sonichu'' #9.

Chris started ''Sonichu'' #11 in [[December 2009]] and completed ''Sonichu'' #10 in [[February 2010]]. He produced a revised ending to issue #10 in [[October 2010]].<ref>[[Book10Replacement]]</ref> After a long inspirationless lull, he began churning out new pages of Sonichu #11 in [[September 2015]].

==Hiatuses==
Chris has regularly lost motivation to draw comics throughout the run of the series. Without a single job held for the past 18 years, he has all the time in the world and only lacks a drive to create.

Along with the abandonment of the [[CWCipedia]] in 2010, [[Sonichu 11]] was put on hiatus later that year. Chris claimed that the trolls drained his creativity and scared him away from drawing any more ''Sonichu''.<ref>[[DrainedCreativity]]</ref>

{{Quote|I have not ended Sonichu; I only lost inspiration to draw, thanks to [[Trolls|the people online]].|Chris in 2010, on the hiatus of ''[[Sonichu 11]]''<ref>[[Jackie Chat 3]]</ref>.}}

After five years of Chris sporadically mentioning the possibility of continuing the comic, on 4 [[September 2015]], he finally added new content to ''Sonichu''. 11 new pages were added to [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]] that day. He said that new pages would be added "maybe every other week". 27 pages were uploaded in 2015, but these updates were not to last; no pages were uploaded in 2016. Chris claimed that ADD<ref>[[February 2016 Facebook Posts#Bleeding Autism]]</ref> and dementia<ref>[[2017 tweets#Doopie defends Chris]]</ref> were responsible for his inactivity.

In [[June 2017]], Chris began making regular updates to the comic again, completing ''Sonichu'' #11 that month and ''Sonichu'' #12 in October. Chris announced that ''Sonichu'' #13 would be an [[Chris and copyright|unofficial]] crossover with [[Planet Dolan]] but was scrapped after he had a falling out with [[DoopieDoOver]]. In its place, Chris announced [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]]. 12-9 would be based around [[My Little Pony]] and feature a [[Night Star|new self-insert of his]], revolving almost entirely around ponies.

Partway through the development of #12-9, Chris's work on the comic broke down. Before #12-9 had been complete, Chris began working on ''Sonichu'' #14, which was to return to the normal ''Sonichu'' setting. He soon spilled paint on the first few unfinished pages and [[Financhu Crisis|sold them]] on [[eBay]] for a quick buck, presumably scrapping his work once again. Chris apparently still intended to complete #14, as he announced [[Sonichu 15|''Sonichu'' #15]]. The comic was intended as a remake/[[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|reboot]] of the early issues. This was derailed after Chris found the fancomic "[[Things Chris has ripped off|Rosechu's Story]]", which he began to plagiarize instead of making an original story for #15.

Sonichu 15 was put on hold when communication with the [[Idea Guys]] began. These trolls made Chris illustrate [[Idea Guys#Ideas|their own narrative]], which heavily focused on the [[Nazis#Idea Guys|politically incorrect]], retcons, and generally horrible, unfunny things. Several pages were leaked in January 2018 by [[Kiwi Farms]] users in contact with the Idea Guys. After months without updates, Chris revealed in May 2018 that he had continued to work on #16, but was hesitant to release the nearly-finished comic now that he realized the Idea Guys had such an influence on it. Sonichu 16 was sent to Patreon supporters in fall of that year.

On 26 June 2019, Chris uploaded eight new pages for a new issue of ''Sonichu'' designed to be a sequel to ''Sonichu'' #16. Two days later, in a Patreon post, he would renumber issues #14, #15, and #16. ''Sonichu'' #14 would be moved to [[Sonichu 16|#16]], ''Sonichu'' #16 would be renamed ''[[Sonichu 13|The Awakening of a CPU aka The Idea Guy Corruptions]],'' (later renamed to issue #13<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#The Idea Guys.27 nonsense was meant to be]]</ref>) and the new issue would be numbered issue [[Sonichu 14|14]].

[[Sonichu 17|''Sonichu'' #17]] was later revealed to exist, but only its cover has been seen. It appears to be influenced by the Idea Guys.

Issues [[Sonichu 14|14]], [[Sonichu 15|15]], [[Sonichu 16|16]] and [[Sonichu 17|17]] are incomplete, and Chris has not updated any of them for around two years as of 2021.

On 11 September 2020, when asked what he felt were the best ''Sonichu'' issues, he would reply with (in no particular order) ''Sonichu'' #0, ''Sonichu'' #12-9, and ''Sonichu'' #15 [[Ego| (all of which are origin stories for a self insert character)]].<ref>Discord Q&A 6#Best episode of Sonichu?</ref>

==Currently==

Like all people, Chris was at his most productive when he is motivated. The unfortunate truth is that much of Chris's motivation in earlier years came from trolls and ''being'' trolled. He has created [[List of videos|hundreds of videos]] under the influence of trolls; the same could be said for the ''Sonichu'' comics. While Chris claims that the stress from trolls prevented him from writing comics, the opposite is likely true. ''Sonichu'' issues 8 through 10 were all created during the [[Christorical eras#Classic Trolling: 2007 to 2011|classic trolling era]], and they happen to be some of the longest comics Chris has ever made (each one around 100 pages long, compared to the usual 50-or-so page length for ''Sonichu'' comics). After those, ''Sonichu'' 11 was finished eight years after it was started, with no content in it relating to trolls. Much of the content in issue 12-9 is inspired by [[Jessica Quinn]] and the Idea Guys (who ostensibly began their mind games with Chris in order to get him to work on his comic more frequently), all of whom are trolls. The Idea Guys were even able to force an entire issue out of Chris on their own, due in no small part to their emotional manipulation and extortion of him. The only outlier of a comic post-classic-trolling-era is ''Sonichu'' 12, which was finished in half a year and had nothing to do with trolls; Chris's motivation to create #12 stemmed from his burgeoning relationship with the LGBT community.

Simply put, Chris had no real reason to be writing and illustrating new ''Sonichu'' comics, which quite bluntly have always been an exercise in boosting his self-esteem rather than an exercise in creating a coherent narrative for his own characters. The relative [[Naïve|innocence]] of the original ''Sonichu'' comics (before trolling) has long since been lost, and Chris's has generally been less productive on a creative level than since the ousting of the Idea Guys. A lack of long-term relationships has left Chris's motivation for art stagnant, while his [[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction|delusions]] festered. While it was not impossible for Chris to complete any of his unfinished ''Sonichu'' comics, it was unlikely he would do so without making a change in his life. And anyone that though that ''they'' should be that "change" in his life would quickly learn that [[Weening#Arguments against weening|trolling Chris is a bad idea]].

Following Chris's arrest and pending trial for his incest charges, it seems highly unlikely that the comic will continue under Chris. Even presuming that he gets out of jail, the fact that he's virtually unemployable and can no longer make money off of platforms like [[Patreon]], which would be the only way he could ensure a stream of income for himself. The number of people willing to financially support Chris has also decreased considerably in light of what he's done, even if he could find a platform that could financially support him. It seems that the days of zapping to the extreme have come to a close for good, although with that in mind, there's nothing to stop the [[True and Loyal Fanbase]] from creating fan continuations or other fan works of their own.

{{Protip|We advise that you don't make [[Ben Saint|any more comics of your own]] to implement in Chris's canon. It makes you look just as stupid as Chris when he did it alone.}}

On 17 [[December 2019]], Chris uploaded a complete set of the ''Sonichu'' series, including comics 0 through 13 of the main series, but also two fan comics that he has officially endorsed, to [[Chris and business#Storefronts|CWCville Shopping]]. Not being derived from his own [[CWCisms#G|geinus]], they are a step below [[TRUE and HONEST]] ''Sonichu'' canon. Nevertheless he has sanctioned them as mostly true to his vision, and is exploiting these fruits of others' labors [[Chris and money|financially]].

==Marketing==
In his [[August 2009]] [[resume|résumé]], Chris stated that his dream was to "get me paper-published with a comic book company like Archie, Marvel, DC or Dark Horse comics". He finally made this happen – sort of – in [[September 2015]], when he discovered {{w|Lulu (company)|Lulu.com}} and put a bound copy of ''Sonichu'' #0 for sale for ten bucks. A print version of Book #1 appeared the following month. Although his Lulu account disappeared from public view after about a week, he continued to offer the books (autographed upon request) on [[Etsy]]. He made routine updates on [[Facebook]].

A recipient of the first issue provided a review:<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (other users)#Review of Printed Sonichu Comic]]</ref>

{{quoteboxgreen|The cover is pixelated and shitty, Chris really obviously just stretched out whatever resized image he happened to have on his PC at the time, rather than rescan the original or do anything that required any effort.

The spine is completely fucked up, and spills over onto the back of the book, making it totally useless – the bottom half of text can't be viewed from the side. If by some shitty reason you ever wanted to buy multiple future issues to put on your shelf, you'd never be able to tell which one is which. I don't know if this is because he just copied/pasted a book spine he ''assumed'' would work, or if he really underestimated how big the book would be. Probably both. The result is that the cover is one of the worst things in comic history. It honestly is so poorly done and so low quality that if Chris wasn't ''saying'' it was his I would assume this was a troll attempt to make him look bad.

The back cover is significantly less pixelated, but still looks like garbage because it is, of course, drawn all in markers and pen by Chris.

The paper used is matte and looks like the lowest quality/cheapest option he could get it printed on. Someone else mentioned it looks like "draft" quality and that pictures make it better – it seriously is so ugly and the resolution so low, it looks like a test page, and I can't even capture how shitty it is on camera. I've purchased comics from Lulu before, and they weren't nearly this bad, so there must be varying levels of publishing quality (or Lulu themselves has dropped in quality significantly – it's been years) and Chris picked the worst.

So, it's exactly what you expect. Low quality and no effort by Chris other than uploading it. He didn't even check to see if things fit on the ''cover''.}}

See the hand drawn beginnings of Sonichu and Rosechu, as well as their classic and romantic coming together and meet, the meeting and battle against [[Naitsirhc]], a few past drawn classic comic strips, and the first of a few [[sub-episodes]] featuring the artist/author, years before finding herself, feeling lost and searching for true love from friendship, intended, but finds constant troubles from the past goons of her arch nemesis, [[Count Graduon]] (with holstered help from the witch, [[Mary Lee Walsh|Slaweel Ryam]]).

(Of which SEGA is still quoted for their Sonic characters, but I have my own personal copyright on Sonichu, Rosechu, and everything else therein. Also, any names, or persons, illustrated in any of the Sonichu Comics, except that of my own, that may seem similar to anyone in real life or wherever else, are purely coincidental or otherwise parodic, and not cannon to their source stories and/or formats). Also, the legal page, and the corner author note on the front will be updated to respectively match my current name and other related items. The contents of this and the other completed and future books have been edited to allow the age range to be for the TV-Y7 and above.

It will take me a week or two to put together the pages into the publishing site's template size, uploading them there, and then it will take up to another four weeks for them to print and ship the books to me, so I can autograph them and send them each off to each person who will have reserved a copy. Therefore, the estimated wait time for the books' full completion will be as late as the end of October of this year.

Also, please do continue to show me your support by buying a medal, an amiibo figure, or donate towards my creation and peace of mind cause. Thank You, and have a Great and Safe Day.

On 23 September, Chris edited the first paragraph of this description to read:

{{quotebox|
<nowiki>**</nowiki>Please note: This book is now available from its matching listing on lulu.com. ONLY by ordering it through me, will I have the chance to personally autograph your copy of the book for you. Otherwise, you may go to the listing on lulu.com and order a physical copy for yourself there as well. My price here covers shipping from there to me, and then to you. Thank you.}}

In the second week of October, however, his Lulu account went down, and he had to change this again:

{{quotebox|
<nowiki>**</nowiki>Please note: This is the ONLY way to order the book; I have it printed through Lulu.com (the listing there is only viewable to me); anyhow, I stil have the liberty to personally autograph your copy of the book for you.

The advantage of having it not autographed, being I can order it from the printer and have it shipped to your address, but it won't be in a comic book sleeve. And each copy sent from me will be shipped in a plastic Comic Book Sleeve with cardboard lining, inside a large envelope. My price here covers shipping from there to me, and then to you.

'''Item Details'''

Contains 96 Pages; Recommended for people Ages Seven and Up.

In this SPECIAL Book, archived and retold are the past short adventures of the past Christian Weston Chandler, LONG Before coming out as a Lesbian TransWoman, during the days of his Sweetheart Search, of which were constantly thwarted by the Jerkops and Janekops, sent by the evil Count Graduon and Slaweel Ryam, in Their actions towards making True Love and Being Sweethearts ILLEGAL and LOST in the City of Cwcville, followed by the State of Virginia, Then the United States, and the world! But the Artist and Creator, and Mayor of Cwcville, refuses to stand down and give up in finding the One Woman WHO will be his One True Sweetheart, seeded from the Ground-Up with Good and Honest Face-To-Face Friendship!, along with new short chapter segments to conclude this set of sub-episodes.

Seriously, though: MEETING PEOPLE ONLINE, Communicating for WEEKS to MONTHS, even YEARS(?), Before EVER Meeting Face-to-Face IN PERSON, which is VITAL and REQUIRED for ANY True and Real Friendship AND Relationship... That is Plain NO GOOD! What happened to the days of EVERYONE Actually being Friendly towards one another in the towns and cities; even In This WORLD? WHY do we have to Fear Each Other for the FEAR and Unknown that has stemmed from Wars, Attacks, and Bad People? OMFG!!! Are we ALL so Bleeding Paranoid that we are forced into a Sense of Psuedo-Autism by remaining CONSTANTLY with our faces looking at Screens and Monitors, with LACK of REAL Eye Contact from Initial In Person, Face-to-Face MEETINGS at a Bar, Shopping Mall, College Library, or Coffee Shop?! Not Only do I, PERSONALLY, Suck at Meeting and Communicating with People ONLINE, ESPECIALLY to Establish Honest and Real and True Relationships in the Trials and Errors that are Not Only More Efficient and Better WITHOUT Hiding Behind Screens and Monitors,... *sigh* BUT I remain Constantly LONELY and Freaking SHY from Lack of Women ACTUALLY offering me their Time of Day Or Interest, Face-To-Face. But I digress.

==Future plotlines==
Over the years Chris has dropped a few hints about specific plotlines. At one point he stated, ''"[[Metal Sonichu|METAL SONICHU]] is NOT a secondary character; HE will be making his return as a MAJOR VILLIAN after Book 11 Possessed by the soul of Count Graduon."''<ref>[[CWC Blog#12 January 2010]]</ref> He later elaborated, ''"Count Graduon will be the Major Villain beyond ''[''Sonichu'' #10]'', possessing the [[Metal Sonichu]] that crashed on [[the moon]] back in [[Sonichu 1|Book 1]].''<ref>[[Wallflower E-mails]]</ref> The issue may also move to [[RuleCWC]]: Chris has said that ''"[[Darkbind]] and [[Zelina]] will be fighting [[Clawdorf]] with great sword and bow/arrow battles."''<ref>[[Mailbag 52]]</ref>

There may also be a lack of [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Great Director intrusion]]: ''"After [[Sonichu 10|Book 10]], I will be making LESS personal appearances in the pages, as having done so was a big mistake, because I had got carried away with the [[Love quest|trials and tribulations]] in my life, [[Man in the Pickle Suit|real]] and [[BlueSpike|online]], that it completely messed me up."''<ref>[[Mailbag 53]]</ref>

Since then, Count Graduon and Metal Sonichu have only reappeared once in [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]], RuleCWC has not been seen since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], and Chris broke his promise to cut down on his appearances in the comic with [[Sonichu 13|''Sonichu'' #13]].

'''''Sonichu'' #4''' is the fifth issue of the ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' series.

A departure from the previous books in both form and content, ''Sonichu'' #4 is a sort of anthology that consists ''exclusively'' of [[Sub-Episodes]] about [[Chris]]'s [[Love Quest]] and other happenings of his life, which originally appeared at the end of each previous issue. Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|narcissism]] is in full bloom here, as he reprints the first four sub-episodes (from ''Sonichu'' #0 to #3), and adds four more.

Although Chris would not complete [[Sonichu 3|''Sonichu'' #3]] until February [[2006]], he had begun work on the new material in ''Sonichu'' #4. Sub-Episodes 5, 6 and 7 were completed during the summer of [[2005]], and Sub-Episode 8 was at least started by September 2005. Given that the events these stories are based upon happened in the summer of 2005, Chris probably had them forefront on his mind and was able to work more quickly on them than his wretched "Sonichu Babies" plot in [[Sonichu 3|''Sonichu'' #3]].

Chris has stated that [[Barbara Chandler|his mother]] told him to stop making sub-episodes as they loosely depicted unflattering events from Chris's life;<ref>[[Mailbag 3#In which Chris forgets why Barb objects to him immortalizing his failures in comics|Mailbag 3]]: "I stopped drawing those because I made a promise to my mother that I would, but I forget why she was offended by them."</ref> this issue's format may represent an effort to get them all out of the way immediately following her edict. Chris claims to have forgotten the exact reason his mother was offended by the comics, though one imagines it might have had something to do with the fact that her grown son was making comics depicting how he solicited girls for <s>sex</s> relationships at shopping centers, and caused a scene when asked to stop. Or the fact that in one sub-episode Chris is seen "killing" a character depicting [[Mary Lee Walsh|a real person]] (though she appears just fine later on) who he had recently been suspended from [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|college]] for making implied threats towards.

At this point, Chris appeared to cut the pretense and make the series purely about his [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Mary Sue stand-in]] instead of the [[Sonichu (character)|title character]]. Each episode in the book tells basically the same story: Chris loitering, being confronted by his enemies and then effortlessly defeating them. The book also introduces [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|Crystal Weston Chandler]], Chris's [[Transgender|<s>repressed gender dysphoria</s>]] hypothetical twin sister. Sonichu only appears once in the entire issue, while Rosechu and a new character, [[Darkbind Sonichu|Darkbind]] also make an appearance in Sub Episode 2 and 4 respectively. Any other Electric-Hedgehog seen is through Chris's limitless powers, with an image of each character he stole powers from (Growth from Wild, Whirlwind from Angelica, etc.).

For almost every episode, there is an edited version, mainly poorly changing real-life names or changing his "curse ye ha me ha" attack by one word. Or he changes scenes entirely several years after publishing.

}}
{{main|Sub-Episode 1}}

Reprinted from [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]], the episode opens with Chris moping around Mal-Wart, complaining about how he has no girlfriend because of all the [[JERKS|men]] taking pretty girls from him. The [[Jerkhief]] rightfully accuses Christian of solicitation and grows tired of Chris's whining for a girlfriend. This forces Chris to transform into [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] and defend himself with the dreaded [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] after having Jerkops attempt to cuff him.

In the edited version, the attack is known as Shin-ye-ha-me-ha.

Note: In this episode, Chris utters the phrase "Fuzzy Wuzzies get you hugs- Prickly Wicklies get you slugs" He then points out how the Jerkhief dealt him a slug, which should make Chris come to his senses and realize his awful "prickly wickly" behavior

But seeing how this is Chris, he forgets this and decides that a slug equals a mary-sue attack that ruins innocent lives.

When this episode first appeared in Sonichu 0, Chris had not yet received his powers, it wouldn't be until [[Sonichu_2#Episode_7:_Sonichu_in_.22Anchuent_Prophecy.22|Issue 2 Episode 7]] he would get power in the medallion.

{{main|Sub-Episode 2}}

The episode opens with Chris further moping about and on a break from his quest to eat eight chicken McNuggets. Christian meets [[Hanna]], who asks him out for coffee. All we learn of the girl is that she enjoys reading Chuck Palahniuk and plays guitar, also working at an unknown store. Chris spends most of the 'Date' talking about himself and showing off his Sonichu Scrapbook, ending the date by giving her a "double-take flirt" and calling his family. Meanwhile, Rosechu is off spreading the news of Chris having a date, since that appears to be breaking news that [[Bubbles Rosechu|every]] [[Wild Sonichu|citizen]] must know. While planning his next interaction with Hanna with help from a [[Sprung|dating sim game]], Chris learns from [[Rosechu]] that Hanna is trolling him. She finds this out after using her woman powers to overhear gossip among Hanna and her co-workers- while her friends ask her about Chris, feeding his ego by asking if he's dreamy and if they hear bells, Hanna reveals that it was a joke set up by the "boss".

Chris ends with a passive-aggressive email to Hanna- telling her it wasn't okay that she pranked him, but tells her she's very attractive and willing to give her a second chance, as long as she doesn't [[Tobacky|smoke]] and is boy-friend free. For no reason, he mentions he graduated with [[Honor Roll|High Honors]] from school.

In the edited version, Hanna is known as "Fandanna", and the full page scene where Chris declares his love quest over changed from a rainbow explosion background to a more anime-looking Chris in front of a heaven background. Some versions will combine edits with the original.

It should also be noted that the only Electric Hedgehogs known at the time of first publishing were Sonichu, Rosechu, and Blake- however, Rosechu is seen calling Bubbles and Wild, who would not be known by the team until [[Sonichu_3#Episode_11:_The_Chaotic_Combo_in_.22When_Hedgehogs_Meet.22|Sonichu 3 episode 11]]. It could be assumed she met them at the mall or knew them beforehand, but the Chaotic Combo never knew other Electric Hedgehogs existed until they coincidentally bumped into one another.

Christian as Chris-Chan breaks into [[Mary Lee Walsh]]'s lair as she poorly rips off ''Macbeth'''s "Double Double" line, attempting to put an end to her heart shattering (mainly for himself) and <s>parodies</s> rips off Sailor Moon. After a brief fight, she overpowers him and learns his secret identity. Before she can deal the finishing blow, [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] (in a rare cameo) has to bail him out. Together, Chris and Sonichu seemingly finish off Mary Lee Walsh with a combo attack.

Christian loiters at a [[McDonald's]] for so long that he is attacked by no fewer than three [[manajerk]]s. Chris mentions how he got his anime-wings from a previous con. As he transforms to Chris-Chan Sonichu, the wings magically attach to his head, making him Super Chris-Chan Sonichu, giving him the ability of flight. First appearance of DarkBind Sonichu, who has magically summoned only to aide Chris, sidetracking him from his own quest to reawaken <s>Princess Zelda</s> Princess Zelina Rosechu. Darkbind's powers consist of sword fighting and plagiarizing Monty Python. After defeating Merried Senor Comic and the Jerkhief, Darkbind runs off as Chris deals a long-winded speech on how he is above the law and only holds the sign and loiters since women are too busy shopping to notice him, saying he is allowed to go where he wants when he wants. The comic ends on a cliffhanger as a new challenger approaches.

Reprinted from [[Sonichu 3|''Sonichu'' #3]].

While the CWCipedia version is presented without advertisements between features, the older version on [[CWC's Sonichu Site]] recycles the ads for [[MySpace]] and [[Axe]] between Sub-Episodes 4 and 5.

Continuing from [[Sub-Episode 4]], the [[W-M-Manajerk]] immediately blasts [[Chris]] into a soda fountain, drenching him with [[CWC Cola|cola]]. In an unprecedented moment, Chris suddenly decides that he needs to bathe and "smell like a [[Axe|Flower]]", and takes a "CWC" shower [[Chris and health#Hygiene|that lasts exactly three seconds]] (he seems to think this is impressive). Christian charges W-M, but he catches our hero and holds him high in the air. Just as Chris is wondering if anything can defeat W-M-Manajerk, his ancestor, the [[ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan]], appears before him with advice concerning Chris's [[Heart Torch]]:

{{quote|...combined with your powers, you can use it to summon your dream sibling! She will be able to help you, much better than your mother even! Farewell, Chris!}}

Christian realizes that his ancestor is referring to the twin sister he has dreamed of having and has depicted in his homemade ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' cards. Emulating [[Wild Sonichu]]'s power of growth, Chris momentarily [[obesity|grows so large that he breaks loose of the Manajerk's grip]], and lands on the opposite side of the restaurant from his Pixelblock-Heart Torch. Dashing past enemy fire, he retrieves the totem, and summons [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|Crystal Weston Chandler]] into reality. Seeing that Crystal has a Rosechu medallion, Chris realizes that she possesses the same [[Anchuent Prophecy|anchuent powers]] as he does (he would later shoehorn her into the prophecy and damage the retroactive continuity yet more), and they transform into [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]] and [[Crystalina Rosechu]].

Together they assault the W-M-Manajerk with Mirror Coat, Reflect and Double Corkscrew Kick. Once he is down, they finish the job by combining Chris's [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] and Crystalina's Shocking Tiara Magic to decapitate him. It is only after they separate W-M-Manajerk's head from his body that they realize he can survive in this state, nonchalantly confirming that their intent was to murder him. While [[B-Manajerk]] and [[Merried Seinor Comic]] decide they should retreat, Crystal takes the time to rant about how he's intruding on her brother's [[Love Quest]] and that how he could never know true love due to his lack of a heart, among [[Pickle|other things]]. Eventually, even Chris gets tired of his imaginary sister's bullshit and cuts her off- which is hypocritical since Chris and Sonichu are both known to go on long page-covering tirades, mainly about how Chris is above the law-before having W-M-Manajerk confess (unprompted) that he is from the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]] and that he was sent by [[Mary Lee Walsh]]. Christian and Crystal decide to punt the disembodied head back to PVCC, where it strikes Walsh on the head, knocking her unconscious, followed by some hilarious [[Random-access humor|word play]] at the expense of a concussion.

[[Image:CWCFinger.jpg|thumb|"Sonichu, MAH BOI, this [[China]] is what all true [[Virgin with rage|autistic virgins]] [[Love Quest|strive for]]!"]]
Christian presents a documentary on the various [[jerkop]]s he has encountered during his [[Love Quest]], with a profile on the [[Jerkhief]]. It's during this profile that he mentions that a Jerkop's badge is just a {{w|Graham cracker|graham cracker}} painted yellow. The Jerkhief's, however, is made of wood. Somehow, this is supposed to explain the Jerkhief's "delicious" wooden badge on the cover.

He then relates an incident in which he was hanging out with his [[gal pal]]s when a "tribe of jerkops," led by the Jerkhief, harass them. In the story, Chris stands his ground; however, the battle is interrupted by [[Crystal Weston Chandler (character)|Crystal]], emerging from a changing room in a new outfit. With the jerkops dazed by her ravishing beauty, Chris gets an idea to channel [[Magi-Chan]]'s powers to telekinetically disarm all the jerkops and arrange them like bowling pins, so that he can use the Jerkhief like a bowling ball. But first, he makes a long, boring speech:
{{quote|You're not getting to me; no matter what you may try in attempt or threat, [[Chris and the Law#understanding|I will hang out wherever I want, when I want, and how I want]]! And I will never quit in my search for a [[Boyfriend-Free Girl]] either! So, all you Jerkops may as well go back to the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]], and tell [[Mary Lee Walsh]] that if she is still intent on shattering my heart again, she can't! My heart is indestructible, and the more you haze me, I will grow stronger. Beware, eve for in the name of my heart, soul and [[Love Quest]], [[Sailor Moon|I will punish you!]]}}

Chris concludes his documentary by explaining how the jerkops use a hypno-gun to brainwash slow-minded persons to their cause, thereby replenishing their numbers. While watching the conclusion of the program, [[Scotpalazzo]] decides to order more jerkops from PVCC to oppose Christian.

A flashback reveals how Christian and [[Saramah Rosechu]] defeated Mary Lee Walsh some months ago; [[Graduon]] vows to destroy Christian with the strongest, most evil villain ever.

In the present day, Walsh and Graduon give [[Bagget]] his first assignment, to attack Christian at the [[Get-Tar Region]], Chris's new "watering hole" for boyfriend-free girls- complete with [[Obesity|$1 sodas with unlimited refills]]. While listening to his Nintendo DS music and drawing, he is confronted by two Jerkops, who are aware of him being kicked out of Mal-Wart and want him to leave. Chris summons Angelica's whirlwind powers to blow them away (Gust would have been the better move- since Whirlwind would most likely require movement on Chris's part). Using a squad of jerkops and his [[Transformers|Change-Bot]] Crackder, Bagget defeats Chris. Bagget's success is less a matter of his superior skill or strategy than the fact that for once no one arrives in the nick of time to rescue Chris--Crystal is unable to fight through the crowd of shoppers to help. In the cliffhanger, Crackder drops Chris from a dizzying height of at least ten feet.

This issue is also the origin of [[The Oversized Drinking Straw of Fail]].

Continuing from Sub-Episode 7, Chris's fall is broken by Crystal's telekinetic powers. The jerkops decide to dog-pile on Chris, hog-tying him and going out of their way to give him severe carpet burns on his face. As Crystal watches on, inexplicably helpless to act, Chris is ferried away by Crackder to PVCC, marking the first time the villains have ever actually subdued ''and'' captured him.

While Crystal tracks Bagget as [[Crystalina Rosechu]], Chris is presented before Mary Lee Walsh, trussed on a silver platter with an apple in his mouth. After pointlessly re-enacting the trial scene from ''{{w|The Transformers: The Movie}}'', Walsh and the Jerkhief drop Chris in a vat of indeterminate liquid. Chris is finally rescued by Crystalina, who saves him from falling into... something, and battles Walsh's forces singlehandedly. Instead of showing Crystalina fighting the evil, Chris takes this time to mope to himself that is he still without a girlfriend. Without the power to help his sister, Christian experiences another vision of his ancestor, who offers words of encouragement. Due to Crystalina being a girl, she cannot fight the forces on her own, causing her to channel her energy to Chris and re-energize him. Finally able to transform into [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], Chris and his sister form up as Chrs-Chan Pure and use the [[Chrs-Chan Pure Pulse-Jolt Lance]] to destroy the crystal ball maintaining Walsh's control of PVCC. Walsh and Graduon escape to [[Manchester High School]] to rebuild their power base.

'''''Sonichu'' #4''' is the fifth issue of the ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' series.

A departure from the previous books in both form and content, ''Sonichu'' #4 is a sort of anthology that consists ''exclusively'' of [[Sub-Episodes]] about [[Chris]]'s [[Love Quest]] and other happenings of his life, which originally appeared at the end of each previous issue. Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|narcissism]] is in full bloom here, as he reprints the first four sub-episodes (from ''Sonichu'' #0 to #3), and adds four more.

Although Chris would not complete [[Sonichu 3|''Sonichu'' #3]] until February [[2006]], he had begun work on the new material in ''Sonichu'' #4. Sub-Episodes 5, 6 and 7 were completed during the summer of [[2005]], and Sub-Episode 8 was at least started by September 2005. Given that the events these stories are based upon happened in the summer of 2005, Chris probably had them forefront on his mind and was able to work more quickly on them than his wretched "Sonichu Babies" plot in [[Sonichu 3|''Sonichu'' #3]].

Chris has stated that [[Barbara Chandler|his mother]] told him to stop making sub-episodes as they loosely depicted unflattering events from Chris's life;<ref>[[Mailbag 3#In which Chris forgets why Barb objects to him immortalizing his failures in comics|Mailbag 3]]: "I stopped drawing those because I made a promise to my mother that I would, but I forget why she was offended by them."</ref> this issue's format may represent an effort to get them all out of the way immediately following her edict. Chris claims to have forgotten the exact reason his mother was offended by the comics, though one imagines it might have had something to do with the fact that her grown son was making comics depicting how he solicited girls for <s>sex</s> relationships at shopping centers, and caused a scene when asked to stop. Or the fact that in one sub-episode Chris is seen "killing" a character depicting [[Mary Lee Walsh|a real person]] (though she appears just fine later on) who he had recently been suspended from [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|college]] for making implied threats towards.

At this point, Chris appeared to cut the pretense and make the series purely about his [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Mary Sue stand-in]] instead of the [[Sonichu (character)|title character]]. Each episode in the book tells basically the same story: Chris loitering, being confronted by his enemies and then effortlessly defeating them. The book also introduces [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|Crystal Weston Chandler]], Chris's [[Transgender|<s>repressed gender dysphoria</s>]] hypothetical twin sister. Sonichu only appears once in the entire issue, while Rosechu and a new character, [[Darkbind Sonichu|Darkbind]] also make an appearance in Sub Episode 2 and 4 respectively. Any other Electric-Hedgehog seen is through Chris's limitless powers, with an image of each character he stole powers from (Growth from Wild, Whirlwind from Angelica, etc.).

For almost every episode, there is an edited version, mainly poorly changing real-life names or changing his "curse ye ha me ha" attack by one word. Or he changes scenes entirely several years after publishing.

{{main|Sub-Episode 1}}

Reprinted from [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]], the episode opens with Chris moping around Mal-Wart, complaining about how he has no girlfriend because of all the [[JERKS|men]] taking pretty girls from him. The [[Jerkhief]] rightfully accuses Christian of solicitation and grows tired of Chris's whining for a girlfriend. This forces Chris to transform into [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] and defend himself with the dreaded [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] after having Jerkops attempt to cuff him.

In the edited version, the attack is known as Shin-ye-ha-me-ha.

Note: In this episode, Chris utters the phrase "Fuzzy Wuzzies get you hugs- Prickly Wicklies get you slugs" He then points out how the Jerkhief dealt him a slug, which should make Chris come to his senses and realize his awful "prickly wickly" behavior

But seeing how this is Chris, he forgets this and decides that a slug equals a mary-sue attack that ruins innocent lives.

When this episode first appeared in Sonichu 0, Chris had not yet received his powers, it wouldn't be until [[Sonichu_2#Episode_7:_Sonichu_in_.22Anchuent_Prophecy.22|Issue 2 Episode 7]] he would get power in the medallion.

{{main|Sub-Episode 2}}

The episode opens with Chris further moping about and on a break from his quest to eat eight chicken McNuggets. Christian meets [[Hanna]], who asks him out for coffee. All we learn of the girl is that she enjoys reading Chuck Palahniuk and plays guitar, also working at an unknown store. Chris spends most of the 'Date' talking about himself and showing off his Sonichu Scrapbook, ending the date by giving her a "double-take flirt" and calling his family. Meanwhile, Rosechu is off spreading the news of Chris having a date, since that appears to be breaking news that [[Bubbles Rosechu|every]] [[Wild Sonichu|citizen]] must know. While planning his next interaction with Hanna with help from a [[Sprung|dating sim game]], Chris learns from [[Rosechu]] that Hanna is trolling him. She finds this out after using her woman powers to overhear gossip among Hanna and her co-workers- while her friends ask her about Chris, feeding his ego by asking if he's dreamy and if they hear bells, Hanna reveals that it was a joke set up by the "boss".

Chris ends with a passive-aggressive email to Hanna- telling her it wasn't okay that she pranked him, but tells her she's very attractive and willing to give her a second chance, as long as she doesn't [[Tobacky|smoke]] and is boy-friend free. For no reason, he mentions he graduated with [[Honor Roll|High Honors]] from school.

In the edited version, Hanna is known as "Fandanna", and the full page scene where Chris declares his love quest over changed from a rainbow explosion background to a more anime-looking Chris in front of a heaven background. Some versions will combine edits with the original.

It should also be noted that the only Electric Hedgehogs known at the time of first publishing were Sonichu, Rosechu, and Blake- however, Rosechu is seen calling Bubbles and Wild, who would not be known by the team until [[Sonichu_3#Episode_11:_The_Chaotic_Combo_in_.22When_Hedgehogs_Meet.22|Sonichu 3 episode 11]]. It could be assumed she met them at the mall or knew them beforehand, but the Chaotic Combo never knew other Electric Hedgehogs existed until they coincidentally bumped into one another.

Christian as Chris-Chan breaks into [[Mary Lee Walsh]]'s lair as she poorly rips off ''Macbeth'''s "Double Double" line, attempting to put an end to her heart shattering (mainly for himself) and <s>parodies</s> rips off Sailor Moon. After a brief fight, she overpowers him and learns his secret identity. Before she can deal the finishing blow, [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] (in a rare cameo) has to bail him out. Together, Chris and Sonichu seemingly finish off Mary Lee Walsh with a combo attack.

Reprinted from [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]].

In edited versions, Mary Lee Walsh is known as Slaweel.

Christian loiters at a [[McDonald's]] for so long that he is attacked by no fewer than three [[manajerk]]s. Chris mentions how he got his anime-wings from a previous con. As he transforms to Chris-Chan Sonichu, the wings magically attach to his head, making him Super Chris-Chan Sonichu, giving him the ability of flight. First appearance of DarkBind Sonichu, who has magically summoned only to aide Chris, sidetracking him from his own quest to reawaken <s>Princess Zelda</s> Princess Zelina Rosechu. Darkbind's powers consist of sword fighting and plagiarizing Monty Python. After defeating Merried Senor Comic and the Jerkhief, Darkbind runs off as Chris deals a long-winded speech on how he is above the law and only holds the sign and loiters since women are too busy shopping to notice him, saying he is allowed to go where he wants when he wants. The comic ends on a cliffhanger as a new challenger approaches.

Continuing from [[Sub-Episode 4]], the [[W-M-Manajerk]] immediately blasts [[Chris]] into a soda fountain, drenching him with [[CWC Cola|cola]]. In an unprecedented moment, Chris suddenly decides that he needs to bathe and "smell like a [[Axe|Flower]]", and takes a "CWC" shower [[Chris and health#Hygiene|that lasts exactly three seconds]] (he seems to think this is impressive). Christian charges W-M, but he catches our hero and holds him high in the air. Just as Chris is wondering if anything can defeat W-M-Manajerk, his ancestor, the [[ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan]], appears before him with advice concerning Chris's [[Heart Torch]]:

{{quote|...combined with your powers, you can use it to summon your dream sibling! She will be able to help you, much better than your mother even! Farewell, Chris!}}

Christian realizes that his ancestor is referring to the twin sister he has dreamed of having and has depicted in his homemade ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' cards. Emulating [[Wild Sonichu]]'s power of growth, Chris momentarily [[obesity|grows so large that he breaks loose of the Manajerk's grip]], and lands on the opposite side of the restaurant from his Pixelblock-Heart Torch. Dashing past enemy fire, he retrieves the totem, and summons [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|Crystal Weston Chandler]] into reality. Seeing that Crystal has a Rosechu medallion, Chris realizes that she possesses the same [[Anchuent Prophecy|anchuent powers]] as he does (he would later shoehorn her into the prophecy and damage the retroactive continuity yet more), and they transform into [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]] and [[Crystalina Rosechu]].

Together they assault the W-M-Manajerk with Mirror Coat, Reflect and Double Corkscrew Kick. Once he is down, they finish the job by combining Chris's [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] and Crystalina's Shocking Tiara Magic to decapitate him. It is only after they separate W-M-Manajerk's head from his body that they realize he can survive in this state, nonchalantly confirming that their intent was to murder him. While [[B-Manajerk]] and [[Merried Seinor Comic]] decide they should retreat, Crystal takes the time to rant about how he's intruding on her brother's [[Love Quest]] and that how he could never know true love due to his lack of a heart, among [[Pickle|other things]]. Eventually, even Chris gets tired of his imaginary sister's bullshit and cuts her off- which is hypocritical since Chris and Sonichu are both known to go on long page-covering tirades, mainly about how Chris is above the law-before having W-M-Manajerk confess (unprompted) that he is from the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]] and that he was sent by [[Mary Lee Walsh]]. Christian and Crystal decide to punt the disembodied head back to PVCC, where it strikes Walsh on the head, knocking her unconscious, followed by some hilarious [[Random-access humor|word play]] at the expense of a concussion.

[[Image:CWCFinger.jpg|thumb|"Sonichu, MAH BOI, this [[China]] is what all true [[Virgin with rage|autistic virgins]] [[Love Quest|strive for]]!"]]
Christian presents a documentary on the various [[jerkop]]s he has encountered during his [[Love Quest]], with a profile on the [[Jerkhief]]. It's during this profile that he mentions that a Jerkop's badge is just a {{w|Graham cracker|graham cracker}} painted yellow. The Jerkhief's, however, is made of wood. Somehow, this is supposed to explain the Jerkhief's "delicious" wooden badge on the cover.

He then relates an incident in which he was hanging out with his [[gal pal]]s when a "tribe of jerkops," led by the Jerkhief, harass them. In the story, Chris stands his ground; however, the battle is interrupted by [[Crystal Weston Chandler (character)|Crystal]], emerging from a changing room in a new outfit. With the jerkops dazed by her ravishing beauty, Chris gets an idea to channel [[Magi-Chan]]'s powers to telekinetically disarm all the jerkops and arrange them like bowling pins, so that he can use the Jerkhief like a bowling ball. But first, he makes a long, boring speech:
{{quote|You're not getting to me; no matter what you may try in attempt or threat, [[Chris and the Law#understanding|I will hang out wherever I want, when I want, and how I want]]! And I will never quit in my search for a [[Boyfriend-Free Girl]] either! So, all you Jerkops may as well go back to the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]], and tell [[Mary Lee Walsh]] that if she is still intent on shattering my heart again, she can't! My heart is indestructible, and the more you haze me, I will grow stronger. Beware, eve for in the name of my heart, soul and [[Love Quest]], [[Sailor Moon|I will punish you!]]}}

Chris concludes his documentary by explaining how the jerkops use a hypno-gun to brainwash slow-minded persons to their cause, thereby replenishing their numbers. While watching the conclusion of the program, [[Scotpalazzo]] decides to order more jerkops from PVCC to oppose Christian.

A flashback reveals how Christian and [[Saramah Rosechu]] defeated Mary Lee Walsh some months ago; [[Graduon]] vows to destroy Christian with the strongest, most evil villain ever.

In the present day, Walsh and Graduon give [[Bagget]] his first assignment, to attack Christian at the [[Get-Tar Region]], Chris's new "watering hole" for boyfriend-free girls- complete with [[Obesity|$1 sodas with unlimited refills]]. While listening to his Nintendo DS music and drawing, he is confronted by two Jerkops, who are aware of him being kicked out of Mal-Wart and want him to leave. Chris summons Angelica's whirlwind powers to blow them away (Gust would have been the better move- since Whirlwind would most likely require movement on Chris's part). Using a squad of jerkops and his [[Transformers|Change-Bot]] Crackder, Bagget defeats Chris. Bagget's success is less a matter of his superior skill or strategy than the fact that for once no one arrives in the nick of time to rescue Chris--Crystal is unable to fight through the crowd of shoppers to help. In the cliffhanger, Crackder drops Chris from a dizzying height of at least ten feet.

This issue is also the origin of [[The Oversized Drinking Straw of Fail]].

[[Image:Letsdoit.JPG|thumb|left|Will Chris lose his virginity at last?]]
Continuing from Sub-Episode 7, Chris's fall is broken by Crystal's telekinetic powers. The jerkops decide to dog-pile on Chris, hog-tying him and going out of their way to give him severe carpet burns on his face. As Crystal watches on, inexplicably helpless to act, Chris is ferried away by Crackder to PVCC, marking the first time the villains have ever actually subdued ''and'' captured him.

While Crystal tracks Bagget as [[Crystalina Rosechu]], Chris is presented before Mary Lee Walsh, trussed on a silver platter with an apple in his mouth. After pointlessly re-enacting the trial scene from ''{{w|The Transformers: The Movie}}'', Walsh and the Jerkhief drop Chris in a vat of indeterminate liquid. Chris is finally rescued by Crystalina, who saves him from falling into... something, and battles Walsh's forces singlehandedly. Instead of showing Crystalina fighting the evil, Chris takes this time to mope to himself that is he still without a girlfriend. Without the power to help his sister, Christian experiences another vision of his ancestor, who offers words of encouragement. Due to Crystalina being a girl, she cannot fight the forces on her own, causing her to channel her energy to Chris and re-energize him. Finally able to transform into [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], Chris and his sister form up as [[Chrs-Chan Pure]] and use the [[Chrs-Chan Pure Pulse-Jolt Lance]] to destroy the crystal ball maintaining Walsh's control of PVCC. Walsh and Graduon escape to [[Manchester High School]] to rebuild their power base.

Chris in the media

2023-04-06T13:36:15Z

Y0h 513nn R3n: /* Stonetoss */

[[Image:The truth about cwc.jpg|thumb|right|Just you wait.]]
{{see also|Sonic the Hedgehog#References to Chris}}

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

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

==Traditional media==
===''Richmond Times-Dispatch''===
{{main|IT TOOK A TALKING BEAR TO GIVE THE NAME A YOUNG BOY LOVES}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

====2017====

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

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

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

{{clear}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

Christian Weston Chandler,

Ruckersville, VA, USA.

He swiftly replied:

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

Best,

Hasan

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

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

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

===''OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes'' ===
[[File:OkKOstoryboard.jpg|thumb|The original storyboard initially made the reference more blatant]]
In the pilot episode "Lakewood Plaza Turbo", Carol tells her son K.O. to defend the plaza "to the extreme", a direct reference to the cover of [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]]. This was confirmed by the show's creator, Ian Jones-Quartey, who later stated that the reference was "even more blatant in the original storyboard".<ref>https://twitter.com/ianjq/status/981619296408190976 ([https://archive.ph/b4hlr archive])</ref>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<poem>I've got no damn plans
I'm just like Chris-chan
My life's in the can
I'll never be a man
on my own I can't stand
I need a helping hand
My life never began
Cause I'm just like Chris-chan

I'm smelly overweight
I'll never procreate
I'm an incel, filled with hate
My life began too late

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

==Proposed media roles==
===Smiling Friends===
In an interview with The Create Unknown podcast, Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack, showrunners of [[Adult Swim]] cartoon Smiling Friends, revealed that they had planned for Chris to be offered a voice cameo in an episode of the show. Chris was to voice a grease puddle in a brief one-off role in the episode "Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty?". However, contractual issues at the studio - which would have forced them to cast him in multiple episodes - cancelled their plans to offer Chris the role.<ref>https://youtu.be/t9SS8hMOF4k?t=2065</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06R7mspyoRw</ref>

===The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls===
On June 17th, 2021 ''[[The Binding of Isaac]]'' creator Edmund McMillen revealed on Twitter that the card for the character "Broken Isaac" would be illustrated by Chris.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On 9 [[November 2016]], Chris made multiple death threats against President-elect [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]].

Later that day, one of his Twitter posts was featured in an [https://web.archive.org/web/20161230084307/http://www.infowars.com/hillary-supporters-burn-american-flag-riot-threaten-to-kill-trump-after-losing-election/ article] by Alex Jones's Infowars website. The article was linked to on the [http://archive.is/kyUJh Drudge Report]. {{w|David Duke}}, former member of Louisiana's State Representatives and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, [https://twitter.com/DrDavidDuke/status/796474021625860098 tweeted] the article. '''Chris himself [[2009-2016 tweets#10 November 2016.1|tweeted]] the article on 10 November'''.

Daniel "Keemstar" Keem, host of the drama YouTube account Drama Alert, [https://mobile.twitter.com/KEEMSTAR/status/796281178030567424 tweeted] at Chris and alerted the Secret Service.

Sky Williams, a YouTube gamer with nearly a million subscribers, [https://twitter.com/SkyWilliams/status/796282670959366144 retweeted] Chris's post and added the comment, "k so this shit isn't okay - can we report this?". OneyNG, another YouTube gamer, also [https://twitter.com/OneyNG/status/796273797984718852 retweeted], saying "Chris Chan always knows what to say". Hundreds of retweets were made by their followers.

Conservative website HillaryDaily.com featured the tweet in an [http://hillarydaily.com/brandon/2016/11/10/radical-left-now-threatening-to-assassinate-donald-trump/ article] on 10 November.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===''Pokemon Clover''===
[[File:ShinyMudslacks.png|thumb|300px|Shiny Mudslack's sprite, inspired by Sonichu]]
''Pokémon Clover'' is a Pokémon romhack created by users of [[4Chan]]'s /vp/ board that pays homage to the various Internet cultures and memes, most notably 4Chan itself. The game references Chris multiple times. The Fakemon Mudslacks draws inspiration from Chris's [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS]] and Sonichu, with its shiny form even taking his color. Two NPC trainers also take inspiration from Chris with one of them being Chris himself, who can be fought in a cave near Lake [[Virgin]]. His battle [[CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero|theme is Holding Out For a Hero]].

Naturally, this piques the curiosity of others, and this has culminated in many '''interviews''' with Chris, whether through the Internet or in the flesh. As of October 2017, he will only do an interview if he is going to be [[Chris and his ego|paid for it]].

[[File:Tumblr lg8dq2DmiR1qbc13do1 500.jpg|thumb|Artist's impression of Chris on his Love Quest. ([https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=144895676 Yes, the skin is downloadable.])]]

The '''Love Quest''' or '''Sweetheart Search'''<ref>[[Common Questions]]</ref><ref>[[Lori Lopez]]</ref><ref>[[Miyamoto emails]]</ref> was the longest real-life [[saga]] of [[Christian Weston Chandler]]. His goal was to obtain a [[sweetheart|girlfriend]]. The stated purpose of the Love Quest was to meet the woman who would be his true love, solve all his problems and bear his daughter, [[Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)|Crystal]]. The Love Quest represented a focused effort to do everything in his power to achieve romantic fulfilment, except of course improving himself.

While Chris maintained a belief in waiting for marriage to have sex due to [[Chris and religion|his religious principles]] (or at least waiting until fully committing to a romantic relationship [[Third date|after at least three dates]]), Chris started moving away from the idea of being faithful as he interacted with a number of fake sweethearts, down to wanting sex from [[Jackie]] first and foremost when he first starting communicating with her, and later being open to being in an open relationship where he could sleep with other people rather than a monogamous one. Because of this, Chris's antics are derisively referred to as the '''Fuck Quest'''.

For over a decade from [[2003]] to 2018, the Love Quest was ongoing, with Chris (unsurprisingly) not having made any progress whatsoever in finding a romantic partner. In [[April 2012]], [[Mia Hamm|he lost his virginity to a prostitute]], which was mainly motivated by a fear of going to jail for [[28 October 2011|the Michael Snyder incident]] (he ultimately got a slap on the wrist instead of having to serve hard time). During early [[2018]], Chris was [[brainwashed]] by the [[Idea Guys]] into ending his Love Quest – he was told that he was [[Polyamorous_marriage|happily married]] to several of his fictional OCs. Unfortunately, that was not the end of this story, as Chris went from [[Chris and reality|believing in this marriage]] to [[Affair with Mother|eventually having sex of very questionable consent with his own mom]]... Which ''did'' result in Chris [[Jail Saga|serving hard time.]]

==Origins==
===Background===
[[Image:104-GirlfriendAttract.jpg|thumb|right|Spell cards don't work IRL, Chris.]]
The catalyst for the Love Quest was Christian's encounter with [[Sarah Nicole Hammer|Sarah Hammer]] (on whom he had a crush) during his move back to [[Ruckersville]], and his enrollment at the [[Piedmont Virginia Community College]]. This occurred somewhere between [[2000#June|June 2000]] and [[2003#October|October 2003]].

Sarah is presumably the first woman of any significance to tell the ever-[[naïve]] Christian "[[So Need a Cute Girl|I have a boyfriend]]"; Chris was surprised to learn that his childhood [[gal-pal]] was romantically involved with [[Wes Iseli]].<ref>[[Story of My Current Days]]</ref> Upon making this discovery, he quickly developed an intense jealousy of Iseli (who he didn't even know) and resentment towards him that would set his state of mind for the impending Quest.

Throughout [[2003]], Chris passively expressed his longing and envy by way of "[[Chris + Sarah's Life-Shares]]" and "[[BFF's (Best Friends Forever)]]". It is clear that Chris had at some point decided Sarah was supposed to be his soulmate (although perhaps not until he learned she was unavailable) and had difficulty accepting that this would not be a possibility. In [[2005]], following Sarah's breakup with Iseli and hookup with [[William Spicer]], he dealt with the situation more openly and publicly in [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]] – this acceptance perhaps stemmed from his turn to a new object of infatuation (see the [[Love Quest#Megan Schroeder|"Megan" section below]]).

===Epiphany===
According to Chris, the genesis of the Love Quest proper was his twenty-first birthday, 24 February [[2003]].<ref>Chris misspoke the year as [[2002]] in [[Captain's Log, Stardate November 7th, 2007|this video]], but he has elsewhere consistently referenced his 21st birthday, which was in 2003.</ref> On this date, he was kicked out of his [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|college]] English class after a dispute with his teacher. (In his [[User:ChrisChanSonichu_profile#Start_of_my_Sweetheart_Search|Wikipedia biography]], Chris claimed the teacher ejected him simply on account of his [[autism]], which of course bears no resemblance to reality: when asked about it again later by a "girlfriend", he deigns to mention that it may have had something to do with belligerently slandering classmates and making racist remarks<ref>[[Jackie Chat 5]], starting at 7:45 PM</ref>). At any rate, while waiting for his next class, Chris sat and cried his eyes out, resenting that there was nobody to comfort him like there was at his [[Manchester High School#Graduation|graduation]]. Shortly thereafter, he resolved that he needed a girlfriend.<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#Start of my Sweetheart Search]]</ref>

Presumably the connection between these events is that Chris felt hurt and ostracized by his punishment, leading him to recognize his need for someone who would appreciate him unconditionally. However, Chris further states that the Love Quest ''officially'' began in [[2003#August|August 2003]],<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#Enter the Wicked Witch of the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]]</ref> suggesting that he waited six months to actually execute his plans.

===Salad days===
At some point early on in the Quest, Chris developed an intense, socially crippling [[Noviophobia|fear]] that all women (at least, all the women he likes) [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor|have boyfriends]]. Since his [[autism]] causes him to approach social tasks in the bluntest manner possible, it can be inferred that his initial approach was to walk up to women out of nowhere, and frankly ask if they would go out with him. It may be further inferred that Chris's unrelenting persistence made it extremely difficult for a woman he liked to get rid of him, short of claiming to have a boyfriend. In any case, Chris quickly lost nearly all of his confidence in talking to women and developed an irrational hatred of boyfriends, or "[[JERKS]]" (i.e., all men everywhere except himself and his [[Bob Chandler|father]]). Since this time, he has always specified that his potential girlfriend must be a [[boyfriend-free girl]], which is unnecessary outside of some kind of [[Polyamorous marriage|polygamous arrangement]].

==Conflict with Mary Lee Walsh==
[[Image:136-LoveSearchItems.jpg|thumb|Miscellaneous items used during the Love Quest, or as the Commonwealth of Virginia will eventually call it, Exhibit A.]]
[[Image:134-cwcsonstecrdgirlbck.jpg|thumb|Back of a ''Sonichu'' [[business card]].]]
{{main|Mary Lee Walsh}}

By [[October 2003]], Chris had put into practice what was "the only sensible idea [he] could come up with that was inexpensive": sitting on the [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|PVCC]] campus holding a sign that read "I am a 21-Year Old Male, seeking an 18-21-Year Old Single Female Companion." This would be the first of many versions of the [[Attraction Sign]], a vital tool in the Love Quest for several years to come.

Sometime during October, the school's Dean of Student Services, [[Mary Lee Walsh]], confronted Chris and confiscated his sign. According to Chris's recollection of the event:

{{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." [[Heart level|MY HEART WAS SHATTERED]] that very moment.|CWC's [[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#Enter the Wicked Witch of the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|Wikipedia biography]], 3 May 2009}}

What is far more likely to have occurred is this: Walsh probably decided Chris was making a nuisance of himself and asked him what he thought he was doing; Chris probably delivered a big confusing monologue about seeking true love, and Walsh then likely dismissed the substance of Chris's response with "You can't do that here." Walsh's point of contention was undoubtedly just the sign, whatever Chris may have to say about it.

Undaunted by Walsh, Chris simply made a new sign, but a few weeks later Walsh confronted him again. In late [[January 2004]], Chris revised his strategy; leaving copies of the ''[[Sonichu's News Dash!]]'' newsletter strewn about campus, each one containing a single "personals ad" about himself. By [[February 2004|February]], Walsh had cracked down on Chris again, banning the distribution of the ''News Dash!''.<ref>[[CWC's Diary]], [[February 2004|February 9, 2004]]</ref> Owing to repeated violation of campus policy, Walsh took Chris to her office to discuss the problem with him. In Chris's own words:

{{quote|Then that B-Dog ripped up my notes and all, dragged me to her quarters and talked down to me very RUDELY AND HOARSELY. I reacted with my own attack that she had been asking for the whole time. I was kicked out of PVCC for a year, and I had to take an [[anger]] management course and see a [[Chris and psychology|psychiatrist]] for a while.|CWC's [[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#Enter the Wicked Witch of the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|Wikipedia biography]], 3 [[May 2009]]}}

The extent of the "attack" Chris made against Walsh, whether it was physical or just a [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]], is unknown, although it would have had to have been something pretty serious to get him suspended from PVCC ''and'' forced to undergo counseling. The timing of the incident is also unclear, but Chris has cited 16 [[September 2004]] as the date of his suspension.<ref>[[CWC's Diary]], September 16, 2004</ref>

==Conflicts with Jerkops==
By [[August 2004]], Chris had expanded his quest to other [[Attraction Location]]s besides PVCC, such as [[Charlottesville Fashion Square]]. It was here that he attempted a new tactic, inspired by ''[[Excel Saga]]'': laying a [[Red String of Fate]] across the mall floor. This inevitably led to a confrontation with mall security, making this Chris's first recorded encounter with the [[Jerkops]].<ref>[[CWC's Diary]], August 2004</ref>

By [[September 2004|September]], Chris had somehow learned that loitering in public places with a sign advertising his services as a boyfriend made it look like he was "trying to sell [him]self like a new car," but he still managed to miss the point and believe this was something he could work to his advantage. He continued to have confrontations with mall security until 11 September 2004, when he was arrested, handcuffed, and forbidden from entering the mall without one of his parents. With both of his Attraction Locations denied to him, Chris became more lonely and depressed than usual. In his diary he expressed an interest in asking "Santa Clause" for a girlfriend (according to e-mails leaked by [[Jackie]], Chris was completely serious and believed in Santa until he was ''24''<ref>[[CWC's Diary]], September 2004</ref>).

==Anna McLerran==
[[Image:0694-AnnaBD8.JPG|thumb|''Too bad she's a lesbian.'']]
{{main|The Tale Of The Crazy Pacer}}
At some point in 2004 Chris had expanded his activities in the mall, including:

* Pacing around a lot, playing videos on his Game Boy Advance SP.
* Shouting at walls, or "singing random songs from memory now and then".

He was apparently infamous to [[Anna McLerran]] and her friends by the time he finally worked up the nerve to enter the store where Anna worked to strike up a conversation with her. Anna handled herself as politely as she could while having zero interest in his pathetic romantic overtures, and apparently convinced him that she was off the market.

Despite becoming one of Chris's closest friends, Anna would later document the 2004 incident in a [[2006]] blog post, confirming that, despite whatever good qualities she sees in Chris, deep down she knows he's a few electric hedgehog Pokémon short of a [[Chaotic Combo]].

==Hanna==
On 29 [[March 2005]] Chris (who had somehow regained full access to the mall) momentarily believed his prayers had been answered when he was approached by [[Hanna]], a girl who worked at the local [[Wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]]. She invited Chris to have coffee with her. Chris quickly overreacted to this sudden reversal of fortune, calling his mother and showing Hanna his entire [[Sonichu Scrapbook|''Sonichu'' scrapbook]].

[[Anna McLerran]] later informed Chris that Hanna was simply trolling him for the lulz. In shock, Chris confronted Hanna and, when she admitted the truth, he ran away screaming "NOOOOOOOOOO!". He apparently made enough of a scene to get himself [[banned]] from the mall (again). Subsequently, Chris dramatized the whole story in [[Sub-Episode 2|the comic]], where he was able to get the last word in exactly the way he could not in real life.

==Conflicts with [[Manajerks]]==
Around [[June 2005]], with the mall becoming a more difficult place to pick up chicks, Chris turned to his local [[Mal-Wart|Wal-Mart]], where he would go to the in-store [[McDonald's]], set up his sign and various nerd amusements, and wait around for hours. On 20 June 2005 Chris was confronted by the men he identified as [[B-Manajerk]] and [[Merried Seinor Comic]], who took issue with his sign and (probably in reaction to belligerent behavior) called the police on him. Chris hid the sign, effectively avoiding criminal charges for sexual solicitation, but he was banned from the McDonald's. He did not interpret this to mean he was banned from the Wal-Mart, however.

On 22 June, after the first incident, Chris again came into conflict with the B-Manajerk over his [[Pixelblock]] sculptures, and the conflict drew the attention of the [[W-M-Manajerk]]. The Manajerk apparently attempted to discuss the situation with Chris:

{{quote|But I sat silent for a minute, then I said to him, “I do not speek [''sic''] to [[JERKS|any Man other than myself]], because they all have [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor|taken all the pretty girls leaving me with none]].” Verbal Combat had started, and during the fight, I ran off, still giving verbal punishment, as well as da finger, and many “[[Curse-Ye-Ha-Me-Ha]]s.” I nearly backed up onto him with [[Son-Chu|my car]], and I gave him another finger. Then I dashed off.|[[CWC's Diary#June 2005|CWC's Diary]], 22 [[June 2005]]}}

In [[July 2005|July]], unsurprisingly having been banned from Wal-Mart, Chris relocated to the newly-opened [[Charlottesville]] [[Get-Tar Region|Target]], where he quickly found himself in trouble for loitering. Chris refused to leave at first, but when store employees returned with [[Jerkops|police officers]] (including [[Bagget]]), Chris offered to leave if they would listen to a prepared speech. According to Chris's account of the incident, five officers then jumped on him and [[Wikipedia:hogtie|hogtied]] him without provocation. His account is so blatantly fantastic and biased that it's difficult to draw any conclusions about what actually happened; for five police officers to have subdued him he must presumably have been egregiously stubborn in dealing with them.

Indeed, in the dramatization of these events in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]], the jerkops need nothing short of a giant robot to capture Chris, and this time [[Sister|his twin sister]] rescues him so that they can destroy the jerkops' entire operation, which of course is commanded remotely by Mary Lee Walsh from [[PVCC]].

Chris has said that he was eventually cleared of all criminal charges related to the dispute at Target. It was apparently at this point that [[Barb|his mother]], in a dazzling display of parental guidance, informed him about two years too late that the Attraction Sign made him look [[Slow-in-the-minds|retarded]].

==Megan Schroeder==
[[Image:ChrisAndMeganUnpixelated.jpg|thumb|left|''Boyfriend-free no more!'']]
[[File:Rap.PNG|thumb|You gonna get raped.]]
Chris met [[Megan Schroeder]] in the summer of [[2005]] and was immediately attracted by such qualities as [[China|her gender]], [[Boyfriend-free girl|her lack of a boyfriend]] and her willingness to talk to him. In Chris's mind these key factors meant that Megan was already destined to be his [[sweetheart]], and the only thing left to do was convince Megan to accept this truth. The Love Quest was effectively on hold from this time until [[March 2008]]; all of Chris's writings during this time demonstrate that he believed he was already in a monogamous relationship with Megan and further Sweetheart Searching was unnecessary.

Aside from Megan's complete disinterest in romance with Chris, the relationship suffered other stumbling blocks, such as Megan's discomfort at Chris showering her with gifts; Megan's outrage over Chris's sexual harassment, hatred of men, and rampant homophobia; Megan's unwillingness to share a [[Megan_Emails,_Aug-Dec_2007#Megan_is_annoyed_and_creeped_out|hypothetical hotel room]] with Chris; and most damagingly Megan's discovery that Chris had to [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|draw himself fingerbanging her]] to suppress his fantasies of assaulting and raping her.<ref>[[Megan Emails, 2008#Chris does not regret the Meganporn and claims drawing it helped prevent him from doing "something really dumb and stupid"]]</ref> Even though she reacted as any normal human being would in the same situation, he was still shocked that she "broke up" with him and thought that all he had to do was say "I'm sorry" as much as possible.

Chris' obsession with [[Encyclopaedia Dramatica]] was what led to the end of the friendship, since his attempt to blow ED's mind by posting his [[Rule 34]] drawings caused her to discover what a deranged individual he truly was and break off all contact with him. Chris totally missed the point about the fingerbanging picture, believing that its continued presence on ED was the issue, and ludicrously that Megan didn't understand what was going on in it. This contributed to his drive to shut the site down for much of 2008 until people on the [[Internet]] figured out the simplest way to troll him...

==Internet Love Quest==
[[File:Personalprofile.jpg|thumb|Chris's image from [[The Hook Cafe|''The HooK'' Café]] profile.]]

After becoming an infamous lolcow thanks to his edit war with ED, Chris began to receive unexpected attention from attractive single women who loved his comics and totally weren't just looking to troll him. Since then, Chris has taken his Love Quest onto the Internet, proclaiming that his TRUE and HONEST sweetheart is whichever girl he's managed to pin down. Chris, or someone impersonating Chris, has at one point attempted appealing to [http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080804202349AA80xDL Yahoo! Answers] on how a "lonesome fella" can attract a boyfriend-free girl, going as far as mentioning his previous tactics and even asking his answerer to be his sweetheart.

With each sweetheart he meets online Chris follows a predictable pattern, demonstrating what he had always intended to do with any woman he met in real life. He begins with a series of proclamations of his TRUE and HONEST love, and then begins planning out how the woman will travel to his home. Chris professes to believe in the rule that sex is out of the question until the [[third date]], but since he expects every romantic encounter to end in total success he makes it clear — in as gentlemanly a fashion as he can manage — that he expects sex at the woman's earliest convenience. Amazingly, as each successive Internet gal pal proves to be a [[troll]], Chris becomes more devoted to the next one, to the point that within a month of meeting Ivy online he began planning his marriage to a woman he had never even seen face-to-face.

When addressing the question of why Chris readily takes each new troll at face value, his own mindset must be taken into consideration. Chris's prospects of finding a girl locally are virtually zero, and he knows this (although he thinks it's because they all already have boyfriends). At the same time, the Internet seems (from his point of view) to be an endless cavalcade of single, attractive women who are fascinated with him, making it an irresistible resource in his Love Quest. By now Chris is fully aware that each woman he meets online ''could'' be a troll, but each time he readily accepts evidence that she is not and dismisses out of hand any suggestion that she is. He does this because he ''wants'' to believe she's real; the alternative is to surrender to despair.

==Returning to real life==
[[Image:WantWoman.jpg|thumb|''The [[Internet]] is so yesterday, Love Quest is always in.'']]
In Chris's final chat with [[Sarah May]] from early March 2009, he claimed that he planned to give up looking for a [[sweetheart]] online, and return to searching for a girl in local [[Charlottesville]]. [[Trolls]] everywhere rejoiced, for this could only mean one thing – a return to the fabled [[Attraction Sign]] and the days of his exploits against the [[Jerkops]] and his other IRL misadventures.

This effort only lasted so long, however. Chris's first attempt at a real-life date, with [[Emily]], ended in tragedy (for him) after the intervention of the [[Man in the Pickle Suit]]. During the brief [[Rollin' and Trollin']] era in the early summer of 2009, Chris was allegedly spotted prowling Charlottesville Fashion Square in his ''[[Guitar Hero]]: Metallica'' tattoo sleeves, but it wasn't long before he gave up (or was simply banned from the CFS) and retreated back to the Internet.

In late [[October 2009]], after a long hiatus, the [[sweetheart]] cycle began again, with the advent of the incredibly disturbing [[I Love You Kacey]]. Chris initially found success in his campaign to pry Kacey away from her current boyfriend, [[Liquid Chris]], even managing to meet her in person on multiple occasions. Later, though, the relationship collapsed under the weight of Chris's bizarre and disturbing behavior.

The opening months of [[2010]] saw Chris land himself in romantic misadventures both in reality and online. He managed to pry himself out of his room for a while and in the process meet a real person, [[The Wallflower]]. Like Megan, however, she rebuffed all his attempts at a more-than-friendly relationship, and eventually cut off all contact with him. Meanwhile, one of his [[The Hook Cafe|online personal ads]] led to an [[Jackie e-mails|extended conversation]] with another potential sweetheart, but Chris tripped over his duck long before he ever got a chance to meet "Jackie" in real life.

Despite this, Chris believed he had found another way to attract females, this time via the [[Flipnote Hatena]], which is (despite being accessed on a DSi) still on the internet. Between 17 June and 2 July 2010, Chris ignored Flipnote Hatena's "family friendly" policies and attempted to use it like a dating site. A lot of Chris's tags towards the female members were flirtatious to a point, and he even [[For Women ONLY|made a Flipnote]] calling out to every woman he had tagged or tagged him. However, despite the trolls swarming in to attack, non-troll responses were made by girls he tagged, [[pedofork|most of whom were in their tweens to early teens]].

==2014–2017==
Chris made numerous [[OKCupid]] profiles, and has successfully attracted a sweetheart though it – [[Catherine]]. Once her gig was up, Chris began to plumb the depths of derangement with [[Women Only Need Apply - No STD's|videos]] advertising himself to women of "any orientation", since as a [[Transgender|transwoman]], [[Chris and reality|Chris believes he now physically appeals to straight, bisexual, and lesbian women all at once]].

In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris revealed images of his imaginary future wife, [[Lovely Weather]]. In September 2017, he [[September 2017 Facebook posts#Jessica Quinn = Lovely Weather|remarked]] that he had fulfilled his comic's prediction, following his entering into a relationship with his newest sweetheart, [[Jessica Quinn]]. However, this was not meant to be, as she broke up with him early in October 2017. He posted on Facebook a few weeks later saying that he did not need a significant other to define himself, hinting that he may have given up on his Love Quest, but only time will tell.

In January 2018, prompted by the ''CWCSonichu Prequel'' fancomic, Chris gave his thoughts on the Love Quest:<ref>[[January 2018 tweets#Thoughts on the CWC Prequel comic]]</ref>

{{quote|I really worked too hard on something I should not have pushed too much on, the “Love Quest”... I Really should have focused more on Sonichu, his life and all of that. Instead, I did too much with myself.

I was more selfish back then. I really regret that I was. It has done a lot of damage to everyone around me.}}

==The Idea Guys and the end of Chris's Love Quest==
{{main|Idea Guys}}

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 perspectives of the real world, with him considering them to be valid. Ideas involving the Love Quest include:

*Chris being brainwashed into thinking of himself as bisexual.
*Chris believing he's in a [[polyamorous marriage]] with his imaginary friends.

Beginning in [[March 2018]], Chris's already weak grasp on [[Chris and reality|reality]] having been eroded further under the [[Idea Guys]]'s influence, he believed himself to be in a polyamorous marriage with [[Mewtwo]] and three of his own fictional characters.

By [[April 2018]], the Idea Guys had manipulated Chris into believing that he was bisexual. In April, Chris recorded [[Dick Licker; that is I]], a video of him giving his imaginary husband Magi-Chan a blowjob. Two weeks later, Chris flirted with [[Bryanfrogboy]] over the internet. He also began to kiss men on the cheek in public – fan [[Copitz]] in May and several attendees at the [[TooManyGames]] convention in June (leading him to be kicked out).

[[File:Wizkerzz.png|thumb|150px|Wizkerzz describes how Chris immediately declared he wasn't interested in dating her.]]

Chris's belief in the polyamorous marriage was so strong that he told Wizkerzz – a female fan cosplaying as him – that he wasn't interested in dating her, and in [[July 2018]], he also rebuffed a [[ween|professed]] potential sweetheart: [[Miss Cherry]]. Showing no further interest in finding real-world [[china]] for himself, the Love Quest has come, if not to an underwhelming yet bizarre conclusion, at least to a long interlude not quite like anything before it in Christory. It seems that, in a sense, the real Love Quest was the friends that Chris made along the way – [[Imaginary friends|quite literally]].

That being said, even in this state, Chris occasionally indicated his disappointment in not finding a romantic partner that actually exists. [[February 2021 social media posts#Message to the faker and hater trolls|In one such post]], he once again blames the trolls for his inability to find a woman instead of making an effort to reach out to someone offline that doesn't involve waving a sign around or loitering on private property. With that post, Chris projected that he had a good Valentine's Day and that all the trolls were miserable when in actuality he spent it holed up in his house with his mother and pets, probably still depressed about his lot in life.

Additionally, while speaking with [[KwaiiSandbag calls|KwaiiSandbag]], Chris indicated that he was still lonely, and had considered one of the members of [[Praetor]] for a potential relationship, but put it off under the belief that Magi-chan would soon cross into [[Dimensions#1218|1218]]. It remains to be seen whether Chris will consider revamping his Love Quest again, or if he will continue to hold out for Magi-chan.

==The Final End of the Love Quest==
The true end of this saga was made clear near the end of June, the boyfriend-free girl he had searched for all these years [[Barb|had been hiding under his nose, and a pile of garbage this whole time]]. Unfortunately, this end is not what we all pictured, and the falling actions of this story likely involve him reliving the hour of [[Julie Reveals Herself]] day after day in prison, because we, the people of [[1218]], would never let them [[Chris and sex#Incest|be together]].

==Promotional images==
Throughout the Love Quest, Chris produced some "sexy" pictures to attract the ladies. Any success they may have had is not evident.

The '''Love Quest''' or '''Sweetheart Search'''<ref>[[Common Questions]]</ref><ref>[[Lori Lopez]]</ref><ref>[[Miyamoto emails]]</ref> was the longest real-life [[saga]] of [[Christian Weston Chandler]]. His goal was to obtain a [[sweetheart|girlfriend]]. The stated purpose of the Love Quest was to meet the woman who would be his true love, solve all his problems and bear his daughter, [[Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)|Crystal]]. The Love Quest represented a focused effort to do everything in his power to achieve romantic fulfilment, except of course improving himself.

While Chris maintained a belief in waiting for marriage to have sex due to [[Chris and religion|his religious principles]] (or at least waiting until fully committing to a romantic relationship [[Third date|after at least three dates]]), Chris started moving away from the idea of being faithful as he interacted with a number of fake sweethearts, down to wanting sex from [[Jackie]] first and foremost when he first starting communicating with her, and later being open to being in an open relationship where he could sleep with other people rather than a monogamous one. Because of this, Chris's antics are derisively referred to as the '''Fuck Quest'''.

For over a decade from [[2003]] to 2018, the Love Quest was ongoing, with Chris (unsurprisingly) not having made any progress whatsoever in finding a romantic partner. In [[April 2012]], [[Mia Hamm|he lost his virginity to a prostitute]], which was mainly motivated by a fear of going to jail for [[28 October 2011|the Michael Snyder incident]] (he ultimately got a slap on the wrist instead of having to serve hard time). During early [[2018]], Chris was [[brainwashed]] by the [[Idea Guys]] into ending his Love Quest – he was told that he was [[Polyamorous_marriage|happily married]] to several of his fictional OCs. Unfortunately, that was not the end of this story, as Chris went from [[Chris and reality|believing in this marriage]] to [[Affair with Mother|eventually having sex of very questionable consent with his own mom]]... Which ''did'' result in Chris [[Jail Saga|serving hard time.]]

==Origins==
===Background===
[[Image:104-GirlfriendAttract.jpg|thumb|right|Spell cards don't work IRL, Chris.]]
The catalyst for the Love Quest was Christian's encounter with [[Sarah Nicole Hammer|Sarah Hammer]] (on whom he had a crush) during his move back to [[Ruckersville]], and his enrollment at the [[Piedmont Virginia Community College]]. This occurred somewhere between [[2000#June|June 2000]] and [[2003#October|October 2003]].

Sarah is presumably the first woman of any significance to tell the ever-[[naïve]] Christian "[[So Need a Cute Girl|I have a boyfriend]]"; Chris was surprised to learn that his childhood [[gal-pal]] was romantically involved with [[Wes Iseli]].<ref>[[Story of My Current Days]]</ref> Upon making this discovery, he quickly developed an intense jealousy of Iseli (who he didn't even know) and resentment towards him that would set his state of mind for the impending Quest.

Throughout [[2003]], Chris passively expressed his longing and envy by way of "[[Chris + Sarah's Life-Shares]]" and "[[BFF's (Best Friends Forever)]]". It is clear that Chris had at some point decided Sarah was supposed to be his soulmate (although perhaps not until he learned she was unavailable) and had difficulty accepting that this would not be a possibility. In [[2005]], following Sarah's breakup with Iseli and hookup with [[William Spicer]], he dealt with the situation more openly and publicly in [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]] – this acceptance perhaps stemmed from his turn to a new object of infatuation (see the [[Love Quest#Megan Schroeder|"Megan" section below]]).

===Epiphany===
According to Chris, the genesis of the Love Quest proper was his twenty-first birthday, 24 February [[2003]].<ref>Chris misspoke the year as [[2002]] in [[Captain's Log, Stardate November 7th, 2007|this video]], but he has elsewhere consistently referenced his 21st birthday, which was in 2003.</ref> On this date, he was kicked out of his [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|college]] English class after a dispute with his teacher. (In his [[User:ChrisChanSonichu_profile#Start_of_my_Sweetheart_Search|Wikipedia biography]], Chris claimed the teacher ejected him simply on account of his [[autism]], which of course bears no resemblance to reality: when asked about it again later by a "girlfriend", he deigns to mention that it may have had something to do with belligerently slandering classmates and making racist remarks<ref>[[Jackie Chat 5]], starting at 7:45 PM</ref>). At any rate, while waiting for his next class, Chris sat and cried his eyes out, resenting that there was nobody to comfort him like there was at his [[Manchester High School#Graduation|graduation]]. Shortly thereafter, he resolved that he needed a girlfriend.<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#Start of my Sweetheart Search]]</ref>

Presumably the connection between these events is that Chris felt hurt and ostracized by his punishment, leading him to recognize his need for someone who would appreciate him unconditionally. However, Chris further states that the Love Quest ''officially'' began in [[2003#August|August 2003]],<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#Enter the Wicked Witch of the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]]</ref> suggesting that he waited six months to actually execute his plans.

===Salad days===
At some point early on in the Quest, Chris developed an intense, socially crippling [[Noviophobia|fear]] that all women (at least, all the women he likes) [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor|have boyfriends]]. Since his [[autism]] causes him to approach social tasks in the bluntest manner possible, it can be inferred that his initial approach was to walk up to women out of nowhere, and frankly ask if they would go out with him. It may be further inferred that Chris's unrelenting persistence made it extremely difficult for a woman he liked to get rid of him, short of claiming to have a boyfriend. In any case, Chris quickly lost nearly all of his confidence in talking to women and developed an irrational hatred of boyfriends, or "[[JERKS]]" (i.e., all men everywhere except himself and his [[Bob Chandler|father]]). Since this time, he has always specified that his potential girlfriend must be a [[boyfriend-free girl]], which is unnecessary outside of some kind of [[Polyamorous marriage|polygamous arrangement]].

==Conflict with Mary Lee Walsh==
[[Image:136-LoveSearchItems.jpg|thumb|Miscellaneous items used during the Love Quest, or as the Commonwealth of Virginia will eventually call it, Exhibit A.]]
[[Image:134-cwcsonstecrdgirlbck.jpg|thumb|Back of a ''Sonichu'' [[business card]].]]
{{main|Mary Lee Walsh}}

By [[October 2003]], Chris had put into practice what was "the only sensible idea [he] could come up with that was inexpensive": sitting on the [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|PVCC]] campus holding a sign that read "I am a 21-Year Old Male, seeking an 18-21-Year Old Single Female Companion." This would be the first of many versions of the [[Attraction Sign]], a vital tool in the Love Quest for several years to come.

Sometime during October, the school's Dean of Student Services, [[Mary Lee Walsh]], confronted Chris and confiscated his sign. According to Chris's recollection of the event:

{{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." [[Heart level|MY HEART WAS SHATTERED]] that very moment.|CWC's [[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#Enter the Wicked Witch of the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|Wikipedia biography]], 3 May 2009}}

What is far more likely to have occurred is this: Walsh probably decided Chris was making a nuisance of himself and asked him what he thought he was doing; Chris probably delivered a big confusing monologue about seeking true love, and Walsh then likely dismissed the substance of Chris's response with "You can't do that here." Walsh's point of contention was undoubtedly just the sign, whatever Chris may have to say about it.

Undaunted by Walsh, Chris simply made a new sign, but a few weeks later Walsh confronted him again. In late [[January 2004]], Chris revised his strategy; leaving copies of the ''[[Sonichu's News Dash!]]'' newsletter strewn about campus, each one containing a single "personals ad" about himself. By [[February 2004|February]], Walsh had cracked down on Chris again, banning the distribution of the ''News Dash!''.<ref>[[CWC's Diary]], [[February 2004|February 9, 2004]]</ref> Owing to repeated violation of campus policy, Walsh took Chris to her office to discuss the problem with him. In Chris's own words:

{{quote|Then that B-Dog ripped up my notes and all, dragged me to her quarters and talked down to me very RUDELY AND HOARSELY. I reacted with my own attack that she had been asking for the whole time. I was kicked out of PVCC for a year, and I had to take an [[anger]] management course and see a [[Chris and psychology|psychiatrist]] for a while.|CWC's [[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#Enter the Wicked Witch of the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|Wikipedia biography]], 3 [[May 2009]]}}

The extent of the "attack" Chris made against Walsh, whether it was physical or just a [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]], is unknown, although it would have had to have been something pretty serious to get him suspended from PVCC ''and'' forced to undergo counseling. The timing of the incident is also unclear, but Chris has cited 16 [[September 2004]] as the date of his suspension.<ref>[[CWC's Diary]], September 16, 2004</ref>

==Conflicts with Jerkops==
By [[August 2004]], Chris had expanded his quest to other [[Attraction Location]]s besides PVCC, such as [[Charlottesville Fashion Square]]. It was here that he attempted a new tactic, inspired by ''[[Excel Saga]]'': laying a [[Red String of Fate]] across the mall floor. This inevitably led to a confrontation with mall security, making this Chris's first recorded encounter with the [[Jerkops]].<ref>[[CWC's Diary]], August 2004</ref>

By [[September 2004|September]], Chris had somehow learned that loitering in public places with a sign advertising his services as a boyfriend made it look like he was "trying to sell [him]self like a new car," but he still managed to miss the point and believe this was something he could work to his advantage. He continued to have confrontations with mall security until 11 September 2004, when he was arrested, handcuffed, and forbidden from entering the mall without one of his parents. With both of his Attraction Locations denied to him, Chris became more lonely and depressed than usual. In his diary he expressed an interest in asking "Santa Clause" for a girlfriend (according to e-mails leaked by [[Jackie]], Chris was completely serious and believed in Santa until he was ''24''<ref>[[CWC's Diary]], September 2004</ref>).

==Anna McLerran==
[[Image:0694-AnnaBD8.JPG|thumb|''Too bad she's a lesbian (note the demon behind Chris).'']]
{{main|The Tale Of The Crazy Pacer}}
At some point in 2004 Chris had expanded his activities in the mall, including:

* Pacing around a lot, playing videos on his Game Boy Advance SP.
* Shouting at walls, or "singing random songs from memory now and then".

He was apparently infamous to [[Anna McLerran]] and her friends by the time he finally worked up the nerve to enter the store where Anna worked to strike up a conversation with her. Anna handled herself as politely as she could while having zero interest in his pathetic romantic overtures, and apparently convinced him that she was off the market.

Despite becoming one of Chris's closest friends, Anna would later document the 2004 incident in a [[2006]] blog post, confirming that, despite whatever good qualities she sees in Chris, deep down she knows he's a few electric hedgehog Pokémon short of a [[Chaotic Combo]].

==Hanna==
On 29 [[March 2005]] Chris (who had somehow regained full access to the mall) momentarily believed his prayers had been answered when he was approached by [[Hanna]], a girl who worked at the local [[Wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]]. She invited Chris to have coffee with her. Chris quickly overreacted to this sudden reversal of fortune, calling his mother and showing Hanna his entire [[Sonichu Scrapbook|''Sonichu'' scrapbook]].

[[Anna McLerran]] later informed Chris that Hanna was simply trolling him for the lulz. In shock, Chris confronted Hanna and, when she admitted the truth, he ran away screaming "NOOOOOOOOOO!". He apparently made enough of a scene to get himself [[banned]] from the mall (again). Subsequently, Chris dramatized the whole story in [[Sub-Episode 2|the comic]], where he was able to get the last word in exactly the way he could not in real life.

==Conflicts with [[Manajerks]]==
Around [[June 2005]], with the mall becoming a more difficult place to pick up chicks, Chris turned to his local [[Mal-Wart|Wal-Mart]], where he would go to the in-store [[McDonald's]], set up his sign and various nerd amusements, and wait around for hours. On 20 June 2005 Chris was confronted by the men he identified as [[B-Manajerk]] and [[Merried Seinor Comic]], who took issue with his sign and (probably in reaction to belligerent behavior) called the police on him. Chris hid the sign, effectively avoiding criminal charges for sexual solicitation, but he was banned from the McDonald's. He did not interpret this to mean he was banned from the Wal-Mart, however.

On 22 June, after the first incident, Chris again came into conflict with the B-Manajerk over his [[Pixelblock]] sculptures, and the conflict drew the attention of the [[W-M-Manajerk]]. The Manajerk apparently attempted to discuss the situation with Chris:

{{quote|But I sat silent for a minute, then I said to him, “I do not speek [''sic''] to [[JERKS|any Man other than myself]], because they all have [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor|taken all the pretty girls leaving me with none]].” Verbal Combat had started, and during the fight, I ran off, still giving verbal punishment, as well as da finger, and many “[[Curse-Ye-Ha-Me-Ha]]s.” I nearly backed up onto him with [[Son-Chu|my car]], and I gave him another finger. Then I dashed off.|[[CWC's Diary#June 2005|CWC's Diary]], 22 [[June 2005]]}}

In [[July 2005|July]], unsurprisingly having been banned from Wal-Mart, Chris relocated to the newly-opened [[Charlottesville]] [[Get-Tar Region|Target]], where he quickly found himself in trouble for loitering. Chris refused to leave at first, but when store employees returned with [[Jerkops|police officers]] (including [[Bagget]]), Chris offered to leave if they would listen to a prepared speech. According to Chris's account of the incident, five officers then jumped on him and [[Wikipedia:hogtie|hogtied]] him without provocation. His account is so blatantly fantastic and biased that it's difficult to draw any conclusions about what actually happened; for five police officers to have subdued him he must presumably have been egregiously stubborn in dealing with them.

Indeed, in the dramatization of these events in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]], the jerkops need nothing short of a giant robot to capture Chris, and this time [[Sister|his twin sister]] rescues him so that they can destroy the jerkops' entire operation, which of course is commanded remotely by Mary Lee Walsh from [[PVCC]].

Chris has said that he was eventually cleared of all criminal charges related to the dispute at Target. It was apparently at this point that [[Barb|his mother]], in a dazzling display of parental guidance, informed him about two years too late that the Attraction Sign made him look [[Slow-in-the-minds|retarded]].

==Megan Schroeder==
[[Image:ChrisAndMeganUnpixelated.jpg|thumb|left|''Boyfriend-free no more!'']]
[[File:Rap.PNG|thumb|You gonna get raped.]]
Chris met [[Megan Schroeder]] in the summer of [[2005]] and was immediately attracted by such qualities as [[China|her gender]], [[Boyfriend-free girl|her lack of a boyfriend]] and her willingness to talk to him. In Chris's mind these key factors meant that Megan was already destined to be his [[sweetheart]], and the only thing left to do was convince Megan to accept this truth. The Love Quest was effectively on hold from this time until [[March 2008]]; all of Chris's writings during this time demonstrate that he believed he was already in a monogamous relationship with Megan and further Sweetheart Searching was unnecessary.

Aside from Megan's complete disinterest in romance with Chris, the relationship suffered other stumbling blocks, such as Megan's discomfort at Chris showering her with gifts; Megan's outrage over Chris's sexual harassment, hatred of men, and rampant homophobia; Megan's unwillingness to share a [[Megan_Emails,_Aug-Dec_2007#Megan_is_annoyed_and_creeped_out|hypothetical hotel room]] with Chris; and most damagingly Megan's discovery that Chris had to [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|draw himself fingerbanging her]] to suppress his fantasies of assaulting and raping her.<ref>[[Megan Emails, 2008#Chris does not regret the Meganporn and claims drawing it helped prevent him from doing "something really dumb and stupid"]]</ref> Even though she reacted as any normal human being would in the same situation, he was still shocked that she "broke up" with him and thought that all he had to do was say "I'm sorry" as much as possible.

Chris' obsession with [[Encyclopaedia Dramatica]] was what led to the end of the friendship, since his attempt to blow ED's mind by posting his [[Rule 34]] drawings caused her to discover what a deranged individual he truly was and break off all contact with him. Chris totally missed the point about the fingerbanging picture, believing that its continued presence on ED was the issue, and ludicrously that Megan didn't understand what was going on in it. This contributed to his drive to shut the site down for much of 2008 until people on the [[Internet]] figured out the simplest way to troll him...

==Internet Love Quest==
[[File:Personalprofile.jpg|thumb|Chris's image from [[The Hook Cafe|''The HooK'' Café]] profile.]]

After becoming an infamous lolcow thanks to his edit war with ED, Chris began to receive unexpected attention from attractive single women who loved his comics and totally weren't just looking to troll him. Since then, Chris has taken his Love Quest onto the Internet, proclaiming that his TRUE and HONEST sweetheart is whichever girl he's managed to pin down. Chris, or someone impersonating Chris, has at one point attempted appealing to [http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080804202349AA80xDL Yahoo! Answers] on how a "lonesome fella" can attract a boyfriend-free girl, going as far as mentioning his previous tactics and even asking his answerer to be his sweetheart.

With each sweetheart he meets online Chris follows a predictable pattern, demonstrating what he had always intended to do with any woman he met in real life. He begins with a series of proclamations of his TRUE and HONEST love, and then begins planning out how the woman will travel to his home. Chris professes to believe in the rule that sex is out of the question until the [[third date]], but since he expects every romantic encounter to end in total success he makes it clear — in as gentlemanly a fashion as he can manage — that he expects sex at the woman's earliest convenience. Amazingly, as each successive Internet gal pal proves to be a [[troll]], Chris becomes more devoted to the next one, to the point that within a month of meeting Ivy online he began planning his marriage to a woman he had never even seen face-to-face.

When addressing the question of why Chris readily takes each new troll at face value, his own mindset must be taken into consideration. Chris's prospects of finding a girl locally are virtually zero, and he knows this (although he thinks it's because they all already have boyfriends). At the same time, the Internet seems (from his point of view) to be an endless cavalcade of single, attractive women who are fascinated with him, making it an irresistible resource in his Love Quest. By now Chris is fully aware that each woman he meets online ''could'' be a troll, but each time he readily accepts evidence that she is not and dismisses out of hand any suggestion that she is. He does this because he ''wants'' to believe she's real; the alternative is to surrender to despair.

==Returning to real life==
[[Image:WantWoman.jpg|thumb|''The [[Internet]] is so yesterday, Love Quest is always in.'']]
In Chris's final chat with [[Sarah May]] from early March 2009, he claimed that he planned to give up looking for a [[sweetheart]] online, and return to searching for a girl in local [[Charlottesville]]. [[Trolls]] everywhere rejoiced, for this could only mean one thing – a return to the fabled [[Attraction Sign]] and the days of his exploits against the [[Jerkops]] and his other IRL misadventures.

This effort only lasted so long, however. Chris's first attempt at a real-life date, with [[Emily]], ended in tragedy (for him) after the intervention of the [[Man in the Pickle Suit]]. During the brief [[Rollin' and Trollin']] era in the early summer of 2009, Chris was allegedly spotted prowling Charlottesville Fashion Square in his ''[[Guitar Hero]]: Metallica'' tattoo sleeves, but it wasn't long before he gave up (or was simply banned from the CFS) and retreated back to the Internet.

In late [[October 2009]], after a long hiatus, the [[sweetheart]] cycle began again, with the advent of the incredibly disturbing [[I Love You Kacey]]. Chris initially found success in his campaign to pry Kacey away from her current boyfriend, [[Liquid Chris]], even managing to meet her in person on multiple occasions. Later, though, the relationship collapsed under the weight of Chris's bizarre and disturbing behavior.

The opening months of [[2010]] saw Chris land himself in romantic misadventures both in reality and online. He managed to pry himself out of his room for a while and in the process meet a real person, [[The Wallflower]]. Like Megan, however, she rebuffed all his attempts at a more-than-friendly relationship, and eventually cut off all contact with him. Meanwhile, one of his [[The Hook Cafe|online personal ads]] led to an [[Jackie e-mails|extended conversation]] with another potential sweetheart, but Chris tripped over his duck long before he ever got a chance to meet "Jackie" in real life.

Despite this, Chris believed he had found another way to attract females, this time via the [[Flipnote Hatena]], which is (despite being accessed on a DSi) still on the internet. Between 17 June and 2 July 2010, Chris ignored Flipnote Hatena's "family friendly" policies and attempted to use it like a dating site. A lot of Chris's tags towards the female members were flirtatious to a point, and he even [[For Women ONLY|made a Flipnote]] calling out to every woman he had tagged or tagged him. However, despite the trolls swarming in to attack, non-troll responses were made by girls he tagged, [[pedofork|most of whom were in their tweens to early teens]].

==2014–2017==
Chris made numerous [[OKCupid]] profiles, and has successfully attracted a sweetheart though it – [[Catherine]]. Once her gig was up, Chris began to plumb the depths of derangement with [[Women Only Need Apply - No STD's|videos]] advertising himself to women of "any orientation", since as a [[Transgender|transwoman]], [[Chris and reality|Chris believes he now physically appeals to straight, bisexual, and lesbian women all at once]].

In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris revealed images of his imaginary future wife, [[Lovely Weather]]. In September 2017, he [[September 2017 Facebook posts#Jessica Quinn = Lovely Weather|remarked]] that he had fulfilled his comic's prediction, following his entering into a relationship with his newest sweetheart, [[Jessica Quinn]]. However, this was not meant to be, as she broke up with him early in October 2017. He posted on Facebook a few weeks later saying that he did not need a significant other to define himself, hinting that he may have given up on his Love Quest, but only time will tell.

In January 2018, prompted by the ''CWCSonichu Prequel'' fancomic, Chris gave his thoughts on the Love Quest:<ref>[[January 2018 tweets#Thoughts on the CWC Prequel comic]]</ref>

{{quote|I really worked too hard on something I should not have pushed too much on, the “Love Quest”... I Really should have focused more on Sonichu, his life and all of that. Instead, I did too much with myself.

I was more selfish back then. I really regret that I was. It has done a lot of damage to everyone around me.}}

==The Idea Guys and the end of Chris's Love Quest==
{{main|Idea Guys}}

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 perspectives of the real world, with him considering them to be valid. Ideas involving the Love Quest include:

*Chris being brainwashed into thinking of himself as bisexual.
*Chris believing he's in a [[polyamorous marriage]] with his imaginary friends.

Beginning in [[March 2018]], Chris's already weak grasp on [[Chris and reality|reality]] having been eroded further under the [[Idea Guys]]'s influence, he believed himself to be in a polyamorous marriage with [[Mewtwo]] and three of his own fictional characters.

By [[April 2018]], the Idea Guys had manipulated Chris into believing that he was bisexual. In April, Chris recorded [[Dick Licker; that is I]], a video of him giving his imaginary husband Magi-Chan a blowjob. Two weeks later, Chris flirted with [[Bryanfrogboy]] over the internet. He also began to kiss men on the cheek in public – fan [[Copitz]] in May and several attendees at the [[TooManyGames]] convention in June (leading him to be kicked out).

[[File:Wizkerzz.png|thumb|150px|Wizkerzz describes how Chris immediately declared he wasn't interested in dating her.]]

Chris's belief in the polyamorous marriage was so strong that he told Wizkerzz – a female fan cosplaying as him – that he wasn't interested in dating her, and in [[July 2018]], he also rebuffed a [[ween|professed]] potential sweetheart: [[Miss Cherry]]. Showing no further interest in finding real-world [[china]] for himself, the Love Quest has come, if not to an underwhelming yet bizarre conclusion, at least to a long interlude not quite like anything before it in Christory. It seems that, in a sense, the real Love Quest was the friends that Chris made along the way – [[Imaginary friends|quite literally]].

That being said, even in this state, Chris occasionally indicated his disappointment in not finding a romantic partner that actually exists. [[February 2021 social media posts#Message to the faker and hater trolls|In one such post]], he once again blames the trolls for his inability to find a woman instead of making an effort to reach out to someone offline that doesn't involve waving a sign around or loitering on private property. With that post, Chris projected that he had a good Valentine's Day and that all the trolls were miserable when in actuality he spent it holed up in his house with his mother and pets, probably still depressed about his lot in life.

Additionally, while speaking with [[KwaiiSandbag calls|KwaiiSandbag]], Chris indicated that he was still lonely, and had considered one of the members of [[Praetor]] for a potential relationship, but put it off under the belief that Magi-chan would soon cross into [[Dimensions#1218|1218]]. It remains to be seen whether Chris will consider revamping his Love Quest again, or if he will continue to hold out for Magi-chan.

==The Final End of the Love Quest==
The true end of this saga was made clear near the end of June, the boyfriend-free girl he had searched for all these years [[Barb|had been hiding under his nose, and a pile of garbage this whole time]]. Unfortunately, this end is not what we all pictured, and the falling actions of this story likely involve him reliving the hour of [[Julie Reveals Herself]] day after day in prison, because we, the people of [[1218]], would never let them [[Chris and sex#Incest|be together]].

==Promotional images==
Throughout the Love Quest, Chris produced some "sexy" pictures to attract the ladies. Any success they may have had is not evident.
