In [[February 2021]], Chris wanted to borrow [[Praetor]]'s taser to conduct this experiment on his quartz crystals, which Praetor had a supply of as they wished to sell autographed tasers on [[OfficialCWCmart]]. While Praetor initially agreed to meet with him and supervise the experiment so that Chris wouldn't be at risk, the [[Watchmen]] white knight group opposed the plan, believing Chris's safety to be at risk, to which Chris responded by claiming it would be fine since he is part-electric. | ||

Watchmen members [[Naught]] and [[MKRNightVee]] then launched a smear campaign against Praetor, creating and spreading rumors by taking out-of-context segments from conversations with Praetor and spinning those to create the false impression Praetor wished to get Chris to use a taser/stun gun on himself, by omitting that it had been Watchmen member Val who had made the suggestion. This action in turn led to tension between the Watchmen group and Chris, who criticized the group's treatment towards Praetor. | |||

For the purposes of discussing Chris's intended use of a taser, it is important to make a distinction between tasers and stun guns, two terms that have been used interchangabley in discussions regarding it. While they share a similar function to deliver electrical shocks, tasers and stun guns differ in that a taser fires projectiles at a target to deliver the shock, whereas a stun gun uses direct contact with a target.

A taser is a weapon capable of delivering an electric shock. Chris believed he could harness a taser's power as a means to activate the Dimensional Merge, wanting to use it to shock his Gate Crystal and Celestial Key magic quartz stones, believing the spark could open an interdimensional portal and therefore bring about the Merge.
This attempt to break the Iron Curtain led to controversy. In February 2021, Chris wanted to borrow Praetor's taser to conduct this experiment on his quartz crystals, which Praetor had a supply of as they wished to sell autographed tasers on OfficialCWCmart. While Praetor initially agreed to meet with him and supervise the experiment so that Chris wouldn't be at risk, the Watchmen white knight group opposed the plan, believing Chris's safety to be at risk, to which Chris responded by claiming it would be fine since he is part-electric.
A call between Watchmen, Caden of Praetor, and Chris took place, in which Val, a Watchmen member, jokingly told Chris to tase himself on video for the lulz. Chris volunteered himself, but Caden discouraged Chris, saying it is a bad idea.
Watchmen members Naught and MKRNightVee then launched a smear campaign against Praetor, creating and spreading rumors by taking out-of-context segments from conversations with Praetor and spinning those to create the false impression Praetor wished to get Chris to use a taser/stun gun on himself, by omitting that it had been Watchmen member Val who had made the suggestion. This action in turn led to tension between the Watchmen group and Chris, who criticized the group's treatment towards Praetor.
Ultimately, Praetor cancelled plans to let Chris borrow their taser to shock his quartz crystals and the matter remains another of Chris's unresolved attempts to bring about the Merge. They also paused plans to sell the autographed tasers in the wake of the Watchmen's actions, eventually putting them up for sale in 2022.
Background
For the purposes of discussing Chris's intended use of a taser, it is important to make a distinction between tasers and stun guns, two terms that have been used interchangabley in discussions regarding it. While they share a similar function to deliver electrical shocks, tasers and stun guns differ in that a taser fires projectiles at a target to deliver the shock, whereas a stun gun uses direct contact with a target. (However, a taser can be used as a stun gun by removing the projectiles.) The two terms have sometimes been used interchangeably to describe Chris or Praetor's alleged plans, in particular from a rumor by Watchmen member MKR,[3][4] leading to confusion. In addition, Praetor has referred to plans to film a video involving a stun gun in November 2020[5] - it is unclear whether or not this is related to Chris's plan to use Praetor's taser on his quartz crystals in February 2021.[1] Praetor had also refered to stun guns as "tasers" when they sold them on OfficialCWCmart during Chris's incarceration. In any event, no evidence has been found of Chris actually using either a stun gun or taser.
Nonetheless, Chris has applied magical thinking to his quartz crystals. Chris believed he could use two quartz crystals - a piece of quartz he has dubbed the "Gate Crystal", which can open a warp gate,[6] and a Lightning Struck Quartz piece he has dubbed the "Celestial Key", a component to the creation of this warp gate,[7] to open up portals through the use of piezoelectricity. Piezoelecticity is an electrical charge occurring from certain types of matter, such as crystals, to which mechanical energy is applied, such as striking a crystal.[8] Quartz crystals work with the piezoelectric effect. Chris believed that he could use a taser in order to achieve this, citing a Gaia article, which states how people from ancient civilizations may have used crystals to open up portals to other dimensions.[9][note 1]
Discussion of taser method
Chris has discussed his plans to shock his crystals on multiple ocassions, most prominently in the beginning of February 2021. On 2 February 2021, Chris had asked the Watchmen member Kyle for assistance on the matter, with the intent of gathering more information on how piezoelctricity works from him.[9] As Kyle explains how the phenomenon works, Chris cites the aforementioned article, to which Kyle states that no definite definitions were used in it, while Val calls it "bullshit but an interesting read". Chris had objected to these statements, getting flippant over Kyle's insistance of the questionable statements made in the article, telling him to "find your better sources to make this make sense in your logic, Dude." when Kyle tells him about finding credible sources.
Watchmen leader Naught then leaked a DM between him and Chris on the Kiwi Farms on 5 February 2021, claiming that he was doing this out of concern that Larry Vaughn is in on with Praetor in a supposed plot.[10][11] The conversation cites a prior attempt from Chris to create sparks with quartz crystals by striking them against his arms as far back as 2017. Another bit of the conversation has Chris claiming that he would meet with Caden Peck the following day about his plans to use a taser on his Gate Crystal quartz stone.
Watchmen's confrontation towards Praetor
On 15 November 2020, the Praetor Instagram account posted an image of an online store's shopping cart.[5] Within the cart was 1 Pikachu mask and 1 VIPERTEK VTS-989 560 BV stun gun. Accompanying the post was the message:
| “ | As Praetor, we always work hard to produce the best videos we can. Good works are in progress! | ” |
After Naught had discussed with other Watchmen members about Chris's use of Praetor's tasers,[12] they have confronted Praetor on 8 Feburary 2021.[13] When a Watchman member accuses them - without proof - of trying to convince Chris to tase himself, Chris tries to convince them that using a taser was all his idea. However, the same Watchmen would still criticize Praetor for providing Chris access to such a device. The Watchman also asks Praetor if they had plans to film him using the taser. Following from this, the Watchmen Val and MKR had thrown insults at Caden, running the Praetor account.
The Taser Discussion call then took place, with Chris, Praetor leader Caden Peck, and several Watchmen members.
Misinformation by the Watchmen
Naught made a Kiwi Farms post in which he posted an out-of-context clip from the Taser Discussion voice chat.[14] In the clip, Watchmen member Val states, "Can you put, 'Can CWC- uh, like, tase himself on video for lulz'." Chris then responds, "I'll do it," to which Val bursts out laughing. Praetor member Caden then objects, saying, "Look, are you sure- There- they- like, we had a whole discussion about why it's a bad idea."
In Naught's Kiwi Farms post, he alleged that "Caden and cwc as Sonichu prime discuss the tazer and who will be tazed", omitting that Watchmen member Val had brought up the subject and that Caden had objected.
MKR posted on Twitter to spread a malicious rumor that Praetor wanted to get Chris to use a stun gun on himself. She gave no proof, instead posting an out-of-context screenshot[3] from Watchmen-Praetor talks.[15]
The Christuber GiBi, buying into the spin from the Watchmen, posted a video in which he erroneously attributed the call members in Naught's clip to Praetor - including the Watchmen Val - as well as amplified MKR's false tweet. Chris responded to the video, stating that Praetor didn't convince him to want a taser, and that it had been his own idea to taze the quartz crystals. Chris also took blame for the idea of tazing himself (although it had been Val's sarcastic suggestion).[16]
On 13 February 2021, Chris confronted the Watchmen for their aggressive behavior, though Kyle and MKR immediately resumed hostile remarks towards Praetor, leaving Chris disappointed.[17]
The WCT would eventually leak the full Taser Discussion call on 30 June 2021.
Aftermath
Following the drama, Praetor decided to pause plans to sell their stun guns, which had been autographed by Chris, on OfficialCWCmart. In 2022, they brought the stun guns back out of storage and sold them, inaccurately marketing them as tasers. The listing stated:[18]

Now, these zappy little buggers are available for sale once again! Each Taser is hand signed by Christine herself, emblazoned with her autograph and the iconic phrase "Zappin' it Up!"

One of the people who bought the taser would mail it to the channel SuperMega, where they would unbox it on video.[19]
Other instances of tasers
In August 2021, during the Incest Arrest, a jerkop threatens to use a taser on Chris if he fights the arrest. Upon seeing the weapon, Chris says he will comply.[20]
