			'''Light Enabling''' is the least harmful type of enabling that one can do to Chris. As some people who have talked to Chris have noted, one cannot communicate with Chris without entertaining his fantasies to some extent, and so rely on this technique, which involves merely acknowledging the beliefs, without outright giving him any new lore or talking to him extensively about his beliefs.

	The time and energy spent on getting sucked into drama, just to see who can influence Chris the most, is one of the classic signs of enabling. Because of how trolling Chris is the one-way ticket to fame for some, and due to the amount of people going by the Idea Guys' techniques, there has been a constant power struggle between groups of enablers vying for Chris's attention.

	[[Chris and money\|Chris's relationship with money]] is unhealthy. While he has not got himself into as much of a bind as Barb has, he lacks the forethought to save money for the future and attend to his financial affairs in a responsible way. He often spends his money on frivolities and then turns to his fanbase to pay for necessary expenses that he could have covered himself had he not squandered his money away. While concerns for what will become of Chris after his mother passes are legitimate, Chris evidently shows [[Chris and work\|no concern for planning for his future]] when Barb is no longer with him, and any money that you give him now to help secure his future will be frittered away on ''[[My Little Pony]]'' merchandise or [[vidya]]. Giving him more money now just teaches him that he is free to live beyond his means without a shred of responsibility because people like you will be happy to foot the bill.

On one hand, fantasy enablers will play into Chris's desire to relive his childhood. On the other hand, financial enablers will constantly donate him money out of guilt.

The impact of the [[Idea Guys]] has been ''catastrophic'' to both Chris's mental state and the Sonichu universe: in recent years, Chris's mental state has deteriorated from fantasy-prone escapism to complete detachment from [[reality]]. Chris has become so delusional that he believes he is married to several Sonic recolors and a Pokémon as part of a [[polyamorous marriage]], is a goddess with psychic powers, is worshiped by millions as their lord and savior, and is even the [[Messiah complex\|outright reincarnation of Jesus Christ]].

	By indulging Chris – that is, encouraging a {{age\|1982\|2\|24}}-year-old man to believe he is really a deity and [[anime]] character after he was tricked into thinking that in the first place – '''you are only making things worse''', and even helping to perpetuate the Idea Guys' machinations. When a person has deluded themselves into a belief that is potentially harmful to themselves and others, the best thing to do is not to reinforce said delusion, but rather to get the person professional help. Telling him that [[TRUE and LOYAL fanbase\|others]] agree with his nonsense only causes him to become even further detached from [[Chris and reality\|the real world]] than he already is.

	Most of the time he is not even bothered by it anymore, seeing it as another happenstance in the world he created himself. This proves that by enabling Chris, you are doing the exact opposite of what triggers the best of Chris by giving him what he wants or further confirming him and lulling him into a sense of complacency where he is less likely to produce meaningful and/or entertaining content. Chris will always try to get what he wants, whether or not it is good for him. To add salt to an open wound, Chris has previously stated that trolling efforts from people like the [[Teen Troon Squad]] do not faze him at all, purely because they agreed with his views and were polite to him. Therefore, it would be insane to even think that trolling Chris in this fashion would get a laugh out of anyone.

For example, when Chris got a cold on December 2019, he believed that the primary reason for this was due to how he was triggered by the redesigns of his Sonichu characters by [[ProjectSNT]]. If Chris gets inflicted with a disease, he will tell himself that said illnesses simply arose from his emotions and disturbances from other dimensions, as opposed to acknowledging he's ill and taking steps to help himself. To continuously try and enable him with these beliefs, Chris gets put at risk of suffering even worse ailments without the proper care or treatment. Thus, '''when you enable Chris' delusions, you are directly putting his life in danger.'''

	Since the very beginning, Chris has had [[Autism\|difficulties]] in empathizing with other people, or seeing things through their point of view. This especially holds true today, where he has become absorbed within his fantasy land. Some fantasy enablers, particularly in the artist community, might believe they are not doing any harm by drawing fanart or fancomics that Chris likes. However, these people are fully aware that what they draw is simply fiction – Chris is not. '''Chris doesn't care about your fanart the way you think he would'''. He now sees it as evidence he can use to confirm his beliefs about the universe. Directly giving Chris fanart encourages his retreat from reality as he then spends time "astral-projecting" to the dimension he believes the artwork depicts instead of working on improving his real-world life. There is nothing inherently wrong with creating fanart of Sonichu or Sonichu characters, ~~however~~ doing things such as creating a persona Twitter account, aggressively pushing your art on Chris, and RPing as your character does make it highly likely that Chris will use the art as an excuse to recede deeper into his fantasy world.
