Twice, Chris has used the magazine ''Nintendo Power'' to get himself attention.

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.

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.

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.

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 appears to have been heavily inspired by 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.

Sonichu makes a cameo in dodie's music video for "Monster", around the 47-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.

<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>

{{w|Something Awful}} is a comedy website where Chris was first revealed to the world.
 
On 26 October [[2007]], a user on the website (otherwise known as a "goon"), Vikivil, made this post on a thread about fellow lolcow Ulillillia:
{{Quoteboxgreen|There really must be something about Sonic.
 
This guy used to leave '[[business card]]s' at [[University of Virginia|my school's library]] where he would hang out for hours looking for a '[[boyfriend-free girl]].' This is how I first learned of him. From here, I developed something of an obsession, culminating last summer when I made a special trip to a [[The GAMe PLACe|gaming store and local hangout]] where he had posted he would be. He was every bit as aspergic as I had imagined.
 
I present to you...Sonichu.<br>

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

In a video by IGN, James Marsden, the actor playing Tom Wachowski in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (film)|Sonic movie]] is quizzed on his knowledge of Sonic trivia. One of the questions asked is if Sonichu is an unlockable character in [[Sonic Forces]]. Marsden guessed incorrectly.
On 15 November 2018, a Youtuber by the name of 3GI released a trailer for ''Shrek Retold'', a feature-length collaboration of the first Shrek movie. It is to feature over 200 contributors, each with their own styles. One of them is none other than Chris himself. The collab is released on 29 November 2018. Chris's work is in the 0:55 mark.

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

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'' 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 and Sonichu have occasionally made it to the attention of the media spotlight, in television, newspapers, magazines, podcasts and 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 article: It took a talking bear to give the name a young boy loves

In 1993, the 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

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 article: 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 kids as young as 8.

Nintendo Power Magazine

Main article: 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 video game to cure his 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 article: 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 girls and leaving him to be a 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

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.[1]

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

A decade later, on 16 September 2017, Chris was photographed by Daily Progress staff at a Cville Pride event.[2]

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.[3]

Toucher and Rich

Main article: Toucher and Rich Segment

On 12 May 2009 Chris's antics became so famous that it sparked the interest of a radio podcast in 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.[4]

Kevin and Bean

Main article: The Kevin and Bean Show Segment

One of Chris's Captain's Logs is dissected by the hosts Kevin and Bean. Notably, the video in question required a full two minutes dedicated to disclaimers, as well as censoring of certain unairable acts.

Web Soup

Main article: For G4s Web Soup

Once again, Chris's "I Got A Fish" video was briefly featured, this time on G4's 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 article: McIntire Park

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

Slylock Fox

If you didn't know who Chris was, would you think anything of this?

On 25 September 2011, Slylock Fox & Comics for Kids, a comic strip about comic strips published by King Features Syndicate, featured a black-and-white image[5] 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[6] 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 article: Opie and Anthony

On 27 May 2009, The Opie & Anthony Show on Sirius XM Radio, which was broadcast to 18.5 million units, 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 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 guy) 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 blackface for autism".[7]

Failosophy

Featured pic

MTV's show 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.


Chris-Chan on MTV's Failosophy

Chris, unusually, gave a response via Facebook.

I had no ill will against MTV. I enjoyed the women in "Undressed"; I like Daria; the dating game show was fun to watch, and to put them way at the bottom, Beavis and Butt-Head were 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 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. 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 calling my Attorney on your damn show's ass.

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

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.

*Spoiler Alert*. 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:

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 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

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. This was confirmed by the show's creator, Ian Jones-Quartey, who shared the original storyboard, where it was "even more blatant". K.O. was originally meant to finish the quote, saying "I will! Thank you mother!" It should also be noted that the person who discovered the reference, Parker Simmons, is also the creator of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart.[8]

New York Magazine

On 19 July 2016, New York magazine featured an article on its website, "Kiwi Farms, the Web's Biggest Community of Stalkers". The article was meant as an attack on Kiwi Farms, inaccurately describing it as a vague group across multiple websites 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 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 "artist, gamer, and creative type" and fails to mention his horrific opinions, statements, or actions. Pless is also under the impression that Chris is legitimately transgender, and accordingly refers to him as "Christine" and with female pronouns.

Sonic Boom

Chris finally meets his hero.

On 10 December 2016, an episode of 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 orange soda during one scene, though this is probably an unintentional reference.

Chris acknowledged the parody on December 13, 2016. He stated that he saw no resemblance between himself and the Mark character, and that he is "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 "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."[9]

The text on the poster (though partially covered by others) appears to say that he is "Looking for a boyfriend-free monster", indicating some familiarity with Chris's antics.

In the 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 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. [12]

Nowhere Land

Nowhere Land album cover

The album 'Nowhere Land' by Jordan Owen is an 18-song long concept album, which acts as a dramatic retelling of Chris's life. The many songs include "Holding up to Dark", a song told from the perspective of Megan Schroeder; "Feed Us, Freak Boy", told from the perspective of the trolls; "Echoes Shaped Like You", a song about Bob's death; "It Was All a Dream", a song about Chris realising his high-school gal-pals were fake all along. The final 5 songs are all about Chris's affair with Barb.

Proposed media roles

Smiling Friends

Main article: Smiling Friends

In an interview with The Create Unknown podcast, Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack, showrunners of Adult Swim cartoon Smiling Friends, revealed that they had planned for Chris to be offered a voice cameo in an episode of the show. Chris was to voice the grease puddle in a brief one-off role in the episode "Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty?". However, contractual issues at the studio - which would have forced them to cast him in multiple episodes - cancelled their plans to offer Chris the role.[13][14]

Lives with his parents, sponges off the government and uses the cash for PlayStation 3 games and sex toys, walks around the mall with his Game Boy looking for girlfriends, posts incoherent YouTube videos of himself humping an anime bodypillow and yelling “Oh, Julie,” the list will go on forever.

Something Awful

Something Awful is a comedy website where Chris was first revealed to the world.

On 26 October 2007, a user on the website (otherwise known as a "goon"), Vikivil, made this post on a thread about fellow lolcow Ulillillia:

There really must be something about Sonic.

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

I present to you...Sonichu.
http://sonichuchandler.tripod.com/cwcson.htm

The video on that page. Priceless.

The topic of that thread shifted to Chris and his antics, and provided so much discussion that a new thread devoted to him was created on the following day, mainly to bring the Ulilia thread back on-topic. Discussion of Chris spread to other websites, and the rest is history.

“ It’s a little sad, and a little beautiful, and somewhere out there, Christian Weston Chandler is heating up his Hungry Man lunch in a supermarket microwave (because his kitchen microwave has been buried under old Christmas decorations) and playing his Nintendo DS, and maybe ogling a salesgirl from across the produce section before he approaches her awkwardly and uses a pickup line that he misread from the Internet, and I wish I could continue to see it all. ”

Chris has his own IMDb entry page. To date he only has two credits, both in the "archive footage" category; the aforementioned =3 video, and the later WTFIWWY segment.[29]

Wii U Daily

The website Wii U Daily (now known as Nintendo Today) has an article on the GameStop incident that occurred on 26 December 2014.[30] Chris eventually found the article, then proceeded to go on a long rambling on Facebook on why the writer should respect him and his terrible ways--even going as far to call the writer a horrible male, despite the writer being female.

Reddit

Main article: 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.[31]

On 1 September 2016, a post that promised a new Chris story every day of the following month was submitted to the now-defunct r/CringeAnarchy subreddit.[32] The subreddit's background image was replaced accordingly with the classic picture of Chris staring creepily into the void.

On 30 December 2014, the defunct website Design & Trend also posted an article about the 26 December 2014 incident.[33] The article link was apparently tweeted 15 times, according to the website.

Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter

On June 10, 2015, a fan asked the official Twitter account of Sonic the Hedgehog (which has been verified and everything) if Sonichu will be playable in Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice.[34] Their response?

“ 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.[35] 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.[36]

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.

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".

McMillen also follows Chris' Twitter account and has stated during a follow-up livestream that his favorite saga was the Megan Saga and the creation of the first few issues of Sonichu.

Celebrity social media

Nicole Richie's Twitter

On 5 December 2009 American socialite Nicole Richie posted on Twitter[47] an image of Chris in his mother's underwear and humorously presented it as a picture of Benji Madden, brother of her then-boyfriend (now husband) Joel Madden.

Adam Baldwin's Twitter

On 5 December 2015, actor Adam Baldwin tweeted an image showing photos of various people who are either opposed or supportive of GamerGate. At the top of the image on its far left side, a picture of Chris can be seen.[48] The tweet was later on deleted.[49]

John Famiglietti's Instagram

In August 2024, John Famiglietti, the bassist of industrial rock band HEALTH, posted a photo of his Sonichu medallion, writing "scared to put it on ngl".[50]

They Might Be Giants's Twitter

In September 2024, alt-rock band They Might Be Giants reposted[51] Chris's tweet in support of Kamala Harris, which included photos of his custom-drawn yard sign,[52] but removed their repost by the following day.[53]

Death threats against Trump

On 9 November 2016, Chris made multiple death threats against President-elect Donald Trump.

Later that day, one of his Twitter posts was featured in an article by Alex Jones's Infowars website. The article was linked to on the Drudge Report. David Duke, former member of Louisiana's State Representatives and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, tweeted the article. Chris himself tweeted the article on 10 November.

Daniel "Keemstar" Keem, host of the drama YouTube account Drama Alert, tweeted at Chris and alerted the Secret Service.

Sky Williams, a YouTube gamer with nearly a million subscribers, retweeted Chris's post and added the comment, "k so this shit isn't okay - can we report this?". OneyNG, another YouTube gamer, also 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 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.[54]

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.[55]

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.[56]

CBS-19

The local 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.[57]

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.[58]

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 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 4chan post falsely claiming Chris escaped from prison going viral on 28 August 2022, several outlets, most notable The Daily Dot[59] and USA Today[60] 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' sexcapades with inanimate objects by having a special ending sequence depicting the titular character dry-humping a PS3 in the same stance Chris was.

Goat Simulator

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

CarolBioOKKO.jpeg

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 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

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 theme is Holding Out For a Hero.
