			In [[October 2015]], Chris found out that Sonic's arms would return to being colored tan in the game ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''. Even though the ''Sonic Boom'' franchise was still ongoing at this point, he decided this was enough for him to declare victory and formally end his protests. He would make one final post for his Facebook group on the 2nd:

			On the 15th, after a long series of continuances for his case, Chris was ultimately found guilty for the GameStop incident; he was fined $541 and placed into a 180-day suspended sentence. While his ban from [[Charlottesville Fashion Square]] was lifted, he still remained banned from the mall's GameStop store, something he was [[GameStop is UNFAIR to Everyone; Not Just Me!\|unhappy]] about.

	~~Towards~~ late [[2014]]~~, while~~ everyone else was posting on [[Facebook]] about less important political concerns, [[Chris]] decided that the most important cause of the time was protesting [[Sega]]'s decision to ~~'''~~make [[Sonic the Hedgehog\|Sonic]]'s arms blue~~'''~~ (as opposed to the usual tan color) in ~~'''~~''Sonic Boom~~'''~~'', ~~their latest~~ ''non-canon'' ~~game in the~~ series. Chris was so passionate about this supposed defamation of his favorite video game character that he went so far as to write incoherent, rambling letters to Sega, throw tantrums about it on Facebook, [[Death threats\|threaten the lives]] of Sega employees, glitterbomb Sega's American HQ, and even physically assault retail staff. His angry, incoherent letters to Sega clearly show that Chris's [[Chris and reality\|prolonged estrangement from reality]] could reach new heights, and that concepts such as civility, moderation and channeling [[Chris and anger\|anger]] in any way that doesn't involve ranting like a child throwing a tantrum are by now completely alien concepts to Chris, or at least go out the window whenever he's annoyed. Unfortunately, unlike previous bouts of anger where Chris would film himself or take to social media to rage at his target, in this instance, he decided to take a hands-on approach to it by vandalizing copies of ''Sonic Boom'' wherever he saw them. When GameStop employees rightfully tried to make him leave the store, he agreed to walk out, but only after [[26 December 2014\|brandishing his can of mace and spraying it at one poor employee's shirt]].		The '''Sonic Boom Protests''' were a series of protests that [[Chris]] initiated in late [[2014]]. While everyone else was posting on [[Facebook]] about less important political concerns, Chris decided that the most important cause of the time was protesting [[Sega]]'s decision to make [[Sonic the Hedgehog\|Sonic]]'s arms blue (as opposed to the usual tan color) in ''Sonic Boom'', a ''non-canon'' spin-off series. Chris was so passionate about this supposed defamation of his favorite video game character that he went so far as to write incoherent, rambling letters to Sega, throw tantrums about it on Facebook, [[Death threats\|threaten the lives]] of Sega employees, glitterbomb Sega's American HQ, and even physically assault retail staff.

When GameStop employees rightfully tried to make him leave the store, he agreed to walk out, but only after [[26 December 2014\|brandishing his can of mace and spraying it at one poor employee's shirt]].

	At first, it was unclear whether Chris would boycott ''Sonic Boom'' or just buy the games and watch the show like the [[Chris and brand loyalty\|consumerist lemming]] he is. Given his irrational hatred and acts of vandalism towards otherwise available games, the former seemed more likely. On 13 [[January 2015]], it was [[Kiwi Farms\|revealed]] that he owned copies of the games. Chris said that they were sent to him by [[Catherine]].

	Why Chris has such a bizarre distaste for such a minor, insignificant detail in the first place is still up for speculation. It could simply be some [[Autism\|overly-attached]] [[Manchester High School\|nostalgia]] to the 'original' Sonic the Hedgehog, or possibly some inner-venting for his own [[Sonichu (comic)\|failed franchise]] ~~that he is determined to get into ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and [[Nintendo]] [[3DS]]''~~. Whatever the reason, [[Chris and mental healthcare\|it certainly isn't healthy for Chris, given his current state]]. In other words, this makes the superficial reactions to Godzilla supposedly getting "[[Obesity\|fatter]]" in the 2014 movie, or the new designs for the lightsabers in ''[[Star Wars]]: The Force Awakens'', seem simple and quaint in comparison. At least he isn't complaining about Sonic's green eyes?		Why Chris has such a bizarre distaste for such a minor, insignificant detail in the first place is still up for speculation.

	While it is difficult to decipher Chris’s garbled sentences, it is clear that his fury is linked to his belief that Sonic, like all cartoon characters, [[Chris and reality\|is real and lives in a parallel universe]]. Like many autistic people, Chris is very resistant to change, especially when it is forced upon him. Chris would not change (“commit suicide”) even in the face of tremendous hardship. Sonic, however, was forced to change for trivial reasons such as appealing to a broader audience. Sonic has been Chris’s lifelong hero with whom he identifies strongly, so he has taken this injustice very personally. Unfortunately, he falsely assumes that countless millions feel the same way.

	At other times, however, Chris has latched onto the idea that the blue arms cause him "sensory overload." [[Sensory Overload\|Sensory overload]] is a broad term simply meaning that the body reacts to overstimulation of a sense, but in autistics it generally refers to an abstract, specific sensory stimulus (such as blue arms) which the autistic person is simply unable to stand. However, if sensory overload were a real issue, all he would need to do is avoid Sonic Boom. Chris has never before complained about sensory overload, and damningly has gone so far as to ''draw blue-armed hedgehogs himself'' such as [[Chris and art\|some depictions]] of [[Bubbles Rosechu]]. The truth is that Chris either believes that Sega is abusing his best friend, or he is using his [[autism]] as an attempt to [[chris_and_the_industry\|manipulate the intentions of a multi-billion dollar worth company.]]		At other times, however, Chris has latched onto the idea that the blue arms cause him "sensory overload."

	Since the change to Sonic's arm color isn't the only element of the redesign, or even the most obvious one, it's anyone's guess as to why that was the aspect Chris chose to focus his ire on. Nor was this the first time Sonic was redesigned: the previous instance was all the way back in the 1990s, where the Blue Blur was given a "more mature" new design during the lead-up to the release of ''Sonic Adventure''. Moreover, unlike the ''Boom'' redesign (which was done for an alternate continuity and had no effect on the main canon), the ''Adventure'' redesign affected virtually all ''Sonic'' media going forward. Yet there's no evidence Chris reacted nearly as badly in this case; indeed, to the contrary, it was the gift of a Sega Dreamcast and a copy of ''Sonic Adventure'' that reignited his interest in the franchise. In light of all this, Chris's bizarre hatred of Sonic's blue arms looks even more inexplicable and inconsistent than it already did.

	~~Towards~~ late [[2014]]~~, while~~ everyone else was posting on [[Facebook]] about less important political concerns, [[Chris]] decided that the most important cause of the time was protesting [[Sega]]'s decision to ~~'''~~make [[Sonic the Hedgehog\|Sonic]]'s arms blue~~'''~~ (as opposed to the usual tan color) in ~~'''~~''Sonic Boom~~'''~~'', ~~their latest~~ ''non-canon'' ~~game in the~~ series. Chris was so passionate about this supposed defamation of his favorite video game character that he went so far as to write incoherent, rambling letters to Sega, throw tantrums about it on Facebook, [[Death threats\|threaten the lives]] of Sega employees, glitterbomb Sega's American HQ, and even physically assault retail staff. His angry, incoherent letters to Sega clearly show that Chris's [[Chris and reality\|prolonged estrangement from reality]] could reach new heights, and that concepts such as civility, moderation and channeling [[Chris and anger\|anger]] in any way that doesn't involve ranting like a child throwing a tantrum are by now completely alien concepts to Chris, or at least go out the window whenever he's annoyed. Unfortunately, unlike previous bouts of anger where Chris would film himself or take to social media to rage at his target, in this instance, he decided to take a hands-on approach to it by vandalizing copies of ''Sonic Boom'' wherever he saw them. When GameStop employees rightfully tried to make him leave the store, he agreed to walk out, but only after [[26 December 2014\|brandishing his can of mace and spraying it at one poor employee's shirt]].		The '''Sonic Boom Protests''' were a series of protests that [[Chris]] initiated in late [[2014]]. While everyone else was posting on [[Facebook]] about less important political concerns, Chris decided that the most important cause of the time was protesting [[Sega]]'s decision to make [[Sonic the Hedgehog\|Sonic]]'s arms blue (as opposed to the usual tan color) in ''Sonic Boom'', a ''non-canon'' spin-off series. Chris was so passionate about this supposed defamation of his favorite video game character that he went so far as to write incoherent, rambling letters to Sega, throw tantrums about it on Facebook, [[Death threats\|threaten the lives]] of Sega employees, glitterbomb Sega's American HQ, and even physically assault retail staff.

When GameStop employees rightfully tried to make him leave the store, he agreed to walk out, but only after [[26 December 2014\|brandishing his can of mace and spraying it at one poor employee's shirt]].

	At first, it was unclear whether Chris would boycott ''Sonic Boom'' or just buy the games and watch the show like the [[Chris and brand loyalty\|consumerist lemming]] he is. Given his irrational hatred and acts of vandalism towards otherwise available games, the former seemed more likely. On 13 [[January 2015]], it was [[Kiwi Farms\|revealed]] that he owned copies of the games. Chris said that they were sent to him by [[Catherine]].

	Why Chris has such a bizarre distaste for such a minor, insignificant detail in the first place is still up for speculation. It could simply be some [[Autism\|overly-attached]] [[Manchester High School\|nostalgia]] to the 'original' Sonic the Hedgehog, or possibly some inner-venting for his own [[Sonichu (comic)\|failed franchise]] ~~that he is determined to get into ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and [[Nintendo]] [[3DS]]''~~. Whatever the reason, [[Chris and mental healthcare\|it certainly isn't healthy for Chris, given his current state]]. In other words, this makes the superficial reactions to Godzilla supposedly getting "[[Obesity\|fatter]]" in the 2014 movie, or the new designs for the lightsabers in ''[[Star Wars]]: The Force Awakens'', seem simple and quaint in comparison. At least he isn't complaining about Sonic's green eyes?		Why Chris has such a bizarre distaste for such a minor, insignificant detail in the first place is still up for speculation.

	While it is difficult to decipher Chris’s garbled sentences, it is clear that his fury is linked to his belief that Sonic, like all cartoon characters, [[Chris and reality\|is real and lives in a parallel universe]]. Like many autistic people, Chris is very resistant to change, especially when it is forced upon him. Chris would not change (“commit suicide”) even in the face of tremendous hardship. Sonic, however, was forced to change for trivial reasons such as appealing to a broader audience. Sonic has been Chris’s lifelong hero with whom he identifies strongly, so he has taken this injustice very personally. Unfortunately, he falsely assumes that countless millions feel the same way.

	At other times, however, Chris has latched onto the idea that the blue arms cause him "sensory overload." [[Sensory Overload\|Sensory overload]] is a broad term simply meaning that the body reacts to overstimulation of a sense, but in autistics it generally refers to an abstract, specific sensory stimulus (such as blue arms) which the autistic person is simply unable to stand. However, if sensory overload were a real issue, all he would need to do is avoid Sonic Boom. Chris has never before complained about sensory overload, and damningly has gone so far as to ''draw blue-armed hedgehogs himself'' such as [[Chris and art\|some depictions]] of [[Bubbles Rosechu]]. The truth is that Chris either believes that Sega is abusing his best friend, or he is using his [[autism]] as an attempt to [[chris_and_the_industry\|manipulate the intentions of a multi-billion dollar worth company.]]		At other times, however, Chris has latched onto the idea that the blue arms cause him "sensory overload."

	Since the change to Sonic's arm color isn't the only element of the redesign, or even the most obvious one, it's anyone's guess as to why that was the aspect Chris chose to focus his ire on. Nor was this the first time Sonic was redesigned: the previous instance was all the way back in the 1990s, where the Blue Blur was given a "more mature" new design during the lead-up to the release of ''Sonic Adventure''. Moreover, unlike the ''Boom'' redesign (which was done for an alternate continuity and had no effect on the main canon), the ''Adventure'' redesign affected virtually all ''Sonic'' media going forward. Yet there's no evidence Chris reacted nearly as badly in this case; indeed, to the contrary, it was the gift of a Sega Dreamcast and a copy of ''Sonic Adventure'' that reignited his interest in the franchise. In light of all this, Chris's bizarre hatred of Sonic's blue arms looks even more inexplicable and inconsistent than it already did.
