'''2014''' has been quite the rough year for [[Chris]]. Starting off [[2011|like]] [[2012|previous]] [[2013|years]], not much had happened, nor really expected, until a [[Chris and health|coffee maker in the lower bathroom]] of the [[14 Branchland Court|Chandler household]] had started an electrical fire; thus, [[Destruction Of Chris's House|burning down most of the property]]. Chris, his [[Barbara Chandler|mother]], and a few remaining [[Clover and Snoopy|pets]] managed to escape, but were left in a [[Rental House|temporary home]] for the time being. Things went quiet for the few months that followed the inferno, until Chris had once again become active that summer, when he began petitioning off and bidding [[Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing|original artwork]] on [[eBay]], [[Craigslist]], and other auctioning sites. With [[List of places that have banned Chris|mixed results]], it seemed Chris may have been recovering, both [[Chris and money|financially]] and [[Chris and art|in his self-entitled career]].


Unfortunately, it didn't last long, as by late summer/early fall, Chris had apparently found himself a new [[2014 Anonymous Sweetheart|sweetheart]], who was expected to be [[Kacey|yet]] [[BlueSpike|another]] [[Chloe|fabricated]] [[Ivy|lover]]. This speculation was met by even more false hope, in the form of "[[I Love You, Catherine]]", Chris's first video of 2014, addressed to (yet again) a new relationship he had apparently been in. It was later proven in [[November 2014|November]] that '[[Catherine]]' was in fact a [[Trolls|troll]] persona, misleading Chris into a gradual bout of [[Stress|depression]]; also known as [[Weening|weening]], a practice which has been highly frowned upon by the [[CWCki Forums|community]].
'''SLGBTQ''' is a [[CWC-ism]] variant of the more common acronym '''{{w|LGBT|LGBTQ}}''', an acronym for "[[Homos#Lesbianism|les]][[Gaybian|bian]], [[Homos|gay]], [[Simonla Rosechu#Evan's response|bisexual]], [[transgender]] and queer". Chris coined his variant on the term sometime in April or May 2017 but did not explain the reasoning behind his alteration until [[May 2017 Facebook posts#Explaining the SLGBTQ|a Facebook post on 21 May 2017]]. He has since used the term consistently in contexts where most people would use the more conventional acronym, cementing its CWC-ism status.


With only a month left in the year, it seems that this may be Chris's lowest point, yet. And while his [[Chris and his Ego|egotism]] still shines through a bit in recent months (such as with his irrational boycott of ''[[Sonic]] Boom''), many have come to simply pity Chris for everything that's gone on in his life, as of now.

SLGBTQ is a CWC-ism variant of the more common acronym LGBTQ, an acronym for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer". Chris coined his variant on the term sometime in April or May 2017 but did not explain the reasoning behind his alteration until a Facebook post on 21 May 2017. He has since used the term consistently in contexts where most people would use the more conventional acronym, cementing its CWC-ism status.

The "Q", for the blanket terms "queer" or "questioning", is a reasonably common addition by modern activists. Chris paid fairly little attention to the letter in his explanation; he likely picked it up from organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign or Cville Pride, both of whom routinely include it. More notable is Chris's inclusion of an "S" for "straight", which he explained as being to welcome non-LGBTQ people "with open hearts". As straight people make up the vast majority of the population, Chris's new acronym covers almost everyone (with the notable exception of asexuals), thus defeating the purpose of identifying LGBTQ people as a minority group with common attributes.
