One's '''personality''' is a set of mental, emotional, and behavioral qualities that make up an individual's character. Studying personality is a key aspect of psychology, allowing experts to know what makes people the way they are. There are many methods for testing one's personality, with some backed by decades of scientific research, and others created by random people on [[Facebook]] to show ads.

{{quote|Crap! They may have hired a Skywriter.|One of Chris's hilarious responses to the campaign.}}
Chris's personality is quite eclectic. It is what draws countless people around the globe to study and follow his antics. He has spoken quite a bit on his own idea of his personality, but his own insight doesn't always jive with [[reality]].


It was May 2012, with Chris’s impending trial of [[28 October 2011]] coming up soon, a few users of the [[CWCki Forums]] joked among themselves about starting a poster and flyer campaign to get Chris convicted on 2 [[June 2012]]. Little did they know they were being watched, as Chris often browsed the forum obsessively,  he thought that this campaign was actually [[TRUE and HONEST]], leading to hilarious [[Twitter]] and [[Facebook]] posts as he believed that he had just discovered a major troll plot.  
His personality has undergone quite the change since Bob's death, with some traits undergoing a full 180.


Not only are his responses to the campaign are a good example of how [[naïve]] Chris is, it's also interesting to point out that how just '''''a few''''' posts in a forum could cause Chris to view the [[trolls]] as people with costumes, armed with weapons. When he expects his friends (or in his point of view, ''imaginary personal army'') to help him to handle the situation, what does he do? Just stay indoors and play his [[PS3]]. Moreover, when one of his currently best friends, [[Anna McLerran]], tried to save Chris from his paranoid delusions, Chris just ignored her and continued to whine about the obviously fake campaign. Which shows how Chris treats his friends.

==The Beginning==

{{quote|If ANYONE can be where they are talking about to stop them and/or destroy their posters, please do. Making their plot public will likely hinder their enthusiasm and give up the plot, but JUST IN CASE.|[[Chris]]'s initial response to the campaign.}}
Personality testing is a controversial field, with few tests used universally within the scientific community. Even the famous Myers-Briggs test, while useful for rough workplace assessments, is somewhat vague. It misses key areas like creativity and openness, and people who take the test often get different results over time. The closest thing to a gold standard is the Big Five, or OCEAN test.  


{{quote|I just read their responses; I am getting mixes signals.

This article discusses various aspects of Chris's personality, but is not to be taken as a substitute for an actual psych-eval.


On 15 May 2012, after seeing the posts on the forum, in Classic Chris form, all Chris could think do was go on to Facebook and Twitter and scream at his friends to go do something about it, expecting them to handle the situation.<ref>[[May_2012_Facebook_posts#The_insidious_poster_campaign]]</ref>
==Introversion vs extraversion==
Chris has shown traits of both introversion (reservedness, solitude) and extraversion (people-seeking, sociability) over the years. It should be be noted that no person is a true introvert or a true extrovert, rather it is more akin to a [[Autism|spectrum]] which people fall on, and people can behave differently in different contexts.


[[Anna McLerran|Anna]], one of Chris's friends, replied:
At [[Manchester High School|high school]], Chris appears to have been fairly introverted, though with a drive to be extroverted. A [[Manchester_High_Leaks#Getting_Acquainted|leaked icebreaker worksheet]] shows that Chris only talked to 7 of his class-mates. They were all [[Noviophobia|female]]. Despite trying to later hold a high school reunion, in the [[Song of Christian]], a 16-year old Chris describes having few friends and how his "loneliness is off the scale”. Even with the social prestige of being a water-boy to the school [[Bionic the Hedgehog|basketball team]] and his [[Gal-pals]], Chris took his [[Barbara Chandler|mom]] to the school prom. Nearly 10 years after the prom, Chris talked about feeling like an outcast at the prom, however his highlight of the evening was when one of his [[Tiffany Gowen|gal-pals]] felt sorry for him and "pulled [him] onto the dance floor". This dance "felt like hours" to Chris.<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#The Seinor Prom]]</ref>
{{quoteboxred|Christian, have you considered contacting NBC-29 about all this? They can run a news story on you and expose the truth so that any lies that are attempted to be spread are shot down immediately.}}


As Chris is getting more paranoid since he was trolled, he actually thought that some of the trolls are employed there. He even contacted his lawyer, Rob Bell, about this.
Around the time of discovery by [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], Chris was mainly an introvert. He kept to himself and barely spoke to anyone but his sweetheart. He joined most public chats in both [[IRC|text]] and [[Mumble|voice]] forms only after being goaded by his current sweetheart<ref>[[BlueSpike Skype Logs 5#February 10]]</ref> or a troll. And even in these chats, he didn't converse a lot, and only answered questions directed towards him. Even while playing video games, he mostly stuck to playing single player games such as God of War, Pokemon, Sonic and Animal Crossing. Any multiplayer game he did play was mostly with his sweetheart like LittleBigPlanet and Burnout Paradise. Before his discovery, when he frequented the THe GAMe PLAce, he mostly kept to himself (and Megan), and rarely interacted with other people except during card games.<Ref>[[Lucas and Mimms Q&A#Chris's behavior]]</ref>
{{quotebox|The media will not be any help, especially since some of the [[Trolls]] ARE employed therein and/or have greater influence that will ONLY make matters worse. I have informed Rob about this, and I am certain his influence will be greater recognized where applicable, and he can offer more ideas for a solution.}}


His friend, Seamus Campbell, then posted on Facebook that he wanted to help Chris.
Classic Chris, therefore would clearly fall on the introvert side of the spectrum but he isn't a full on introvert as he did visit an [[Anime Mid-Atlantic|anime expo in 2004 and 2005]]. New Chris however would easily fall on he extrovert side since 2017 as he started publicly responding to people, started playing multiplayer and co-op games such as Tetris 99 and PayDay 2, visited multiple conventions like [[Bronycon]], [[Omegacon]], [[BABScon]] and the [[TooManyGames]] expo. He has also started streaming videos, and answering questions his fans have. He has also joined public and private discord groups, though his interaction with other humans in them is limited. On [[Twitter]], he has started interacting (although poorly) to a ton of people ranging from artists to [[enablers]].


{{quoteboxgreen|Christian. I know the truth and I am going to go up there and try to enlighten them to who you really are. Let me,know where and when. I will head there now}}
==Kindness vs resentment==
{{quotebox|If you read the screen caps, you'd learn where they say they're gonna be. Changing the minds of a huge group of hate-filled, stubborn people is as difficult as life itself.}}
:''Main article: [[Kindness]]''
{{quoteboxgreen|Well I am hoping maybe I can help out a few. You have a court date or something? Need acharacter witness?}}
{{quotebox|I promise to let you know if a character witness would help closer to the date. Thank you.}}


Unsurprisingly, Seamus didn't help to handle the campaign, which leads to more Twitter and Facebook posts by Chris. But that was just the beginning......
While Chris may strive to be kind, his efforts often fall flat and instead come across as annoying, overwhelming or creepy. Chris at least shows he makes an effort to look like a kind person, and he has referred to himself as the "kind and compassionate Christine Chandler".<ref>[[A New, Fun Trick]]</ref> But saying you're kind and actually being kind are two different things.


==The Background==
Many of Chris's attempts at being kind, from calling complete strangers "[[darling]]" to [[TooManyGames|kissing]] guys he just met, are a clear violation of other's boundaries and easily make people feel uncomfortable. Ironically, his attempts can be quite unkind.
Two days later, Chris posted some posts:


{{quote|According to the Forums, the Trolls are planning to do their flyer distribution on June 2, 2012. One group will be working at [[Fashion Square]]; the other will be stapling/taping on telephone poles, windows, bulliten boards, etc. Shaemus, if you can get a group of your friends to handle the first group, everyone else can disperse as they go. Any additional ideas and friends to quell this mal-content deed would be appreciated.|Chris.}}
==Empathy vs antipathy==
:''Main articles: [[Remorse]] and [[Anger]]''


The next day, Chris then uploaded another screencap from the forum and posted:<ref>[[May_2012_Facebook_posts#Destroy_the_posters.21]]</ref>
Anger, or ''tard rage'' as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality. Also notable is his lack of empathy, beyond the point where it can be autism-related.
{{quotebox|SERIOUSLY, ANYONE who happens to be at [[Fashion Square|FASHION SQUARE]], any [[McDonalds]], either Krogers, Wal-Mart, etc, DESTROY ANY OF THEIR POSTERS/FLYERS, PLEASE!!!


[[File:ChrisScreencapPoster01.png|300px]]}}
Chris uses apologies as a performative tool for making amends and not as a genuine expression of guilt.


After 2 days of his friends not responding at all to these posts, Chris then whined on Facebook about it. You know, because Chris is serious business in Charlottesville that anyone who sees these posters will immediately ban him.
==Openness vs obstinacy==
In psychology, openness is a person's receptivity to new or unfamiliar experiences and ideas, including changes.


{{quotebox|I Truly, Really, Greatly, from Past Experiences included, HATE [[Manchester_High_School#Graduation|Graduation Day]]! <nowiki>|:(</nowiki>}}<ref>[[May_2012_Facebook_posts#Graduation_day_sucks]]</ref>
It is to be noted that no person is completely open to change and no person is completely against it. People tend to be open regarding views to things that don't matter to them and like to remain closed about topics that is close to them. Chris is no exception.
{{quotebox|Why is anyone NOT responding or Caring of the Hate Poster Campaign? This is VERY SERIOUS, People!}}<ref>[[May_2012_Facebook_posts#Growing_panic_about_the_posters]]</ref>
Kim Wilson, another friend on Facebook, posted:
{{quoteboxgreen|I'm sure others care(I sure do!), we just don't know what we can do to help. The only thing the rest of us can do is contact authorities if we catch somebody putting the posters up.}}
{{quotebox|So, everybody, do That, Please!}}
Of course, no one in the right mind would go outside just to take the effort of finding anyone trying to put anti-CWC posters, catching them and contacting the authorities. It's worth noted that Chris expects his friends to help him but Chris will do nothing except to stay indoors and playing his [[PS3|video games]].


{{quotebox|Their Goal with this is to get me banned from EVERYWHERE in [[Charlottesville]]! And I can NOT move back to Midlothian!}}
Chris is not very open to thoughts that differ from his, he rejects opinions and actual scientific facts if they do not match his beliefs. When he used to hate the LGBT community, he would reject anyone trying to convince him otherwise how much ever sense they made. He had also gone to the point where he rejected the fact that Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism just because he didn't like it.
Chris then posted another reply to this post as a response:
{{quotebox|I got news for you, Midlothian beats Charlottesville on things to do and sights, hands down! Even Staunton pales in comparison to C-Ville.}}
{{quotebox|How would YOU feel if you were not Legally allowed ANYWHERE in your hometown, or the town you currently reside in?}}


Leading up to "T" Day, Chris noticed that a troll in the forums claimed to be staying at a local hotel:<ref>[[May_2012_Facebook_posts#Hilton_Inn]]</ref>
His hatred for the xbox too was due to him being closed on the subject, how many ever great games and features people showed him on the xbox, he would reject it and fixate on minor flaws the system had.


{{quotebox|31 May 2012
However, after he came out as a transgender, he became much more open to the LGBT and accepted people as equals, but his obstinacy has merely shifted topics, for example he completely believes in the Dimensional merge and anyone telling him otherwise is rejected as a troll. He openly rejects proof that the merge isn't happening and cherry picks minor incidents that seem to support his agenda.
One of them is staying at the Hilton Garden Inn right now. I am alerting my attorney.}}


Anna responded:
A lot of his close mindedness can be blamed on his autism, as autistics are generally scared of change.


{{quoteboxred|no they're not. they looked up a hotel in charlottesville & said the name. they are not actually there. if they actually were, they would keep their location a secret, especially knowing you can read what they say.}}
==Chris and personality tests==
[[File:Personality quiz.jpeg|thumb|Chris chose the blue option]]
[[File:Miscpersonalitytestthing.jpg|thumb|Anudder one]]
[[File:This is Christine.png|thumb|another]]
Being a [[Twitter|social]] [[Facebook|media]] addict who also likes [[magical thinking]], it's no surprise that Chris is a fan of personality tests. He has taken many over the years, here are a few of them:


*'''A Magic: The Gathering quiz''' to find out that he is most like the white color typing, as each color associated with certain personality traits, the white type is associated with law and order, being the good guy beating up the bad guy.<ref>[[August_2019_social_media_posts#Chris_takes_a_M:TG_quiz|Post in question]]</ref> This seems to indicate that Chris held to his idealistic views of good and evil, and wasn't being very true and honest in the test, since he is very anti-law when it stops him from doing what he wants.<ref>[[Chris_and_the_law#Legal_troubles]]</ref>


==The Photoshops==
==Dissociative identity disorder==
Due to Chris's more recent behaviours, such as a belief in [[spirit possession]] and the manifestations of cartoon characters, Chris may indeed now have a mild trauma-induced strain of [[Wikipedia:Dissociative_identity_disorder|Dissociative identity disorder]], a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states.<ref>https://archive.is/cAquC Archived article on DID, Chris shows many of the indicators listed here</ref> This is most likely connected to manipulation from the [[Idea Guys]] and other traumas in his youth due to the mistreatment of those with ASD in a clinical and social environment. It is unknown how real the characters are to Chris, but he seems very adamant that they are real and manifest physically.


6 days later, which is on 26 May, Chris began to panic even more when obviously photoshopped anti-CWC posters began to appear on the CWCki Forums. As Chris was [[naïve]], he was utterly convinced they were real. Chris posted screencaps of the supposed posters and wanted people to go the location to confirm they were real though Chris had already decided the entire thing was on Facebook.<ref>[[May_2012_Facebook_posts#Still_concerned_about_the_posters]]</ref><ref name="notlisten">[[May_2012_Facebook_posts#Chris_does_not_listen]]</ref>
The main indicators of '''DID''' that Chris displays are:
*'''Daydreaming''' - Chris often mentions daydreaming as a form of meditation, during which Chris can "visit Cwcville", Chris's [[cwcville|imaginary city]] where he is the overlord.
*'''Imaginary friends''' - Chris has a belief that all comic book characters are real people, as autonomous as any human, and that these characters exist in the real world and speak to him in his head.<ref>[[Magi-Chan]]</ref>
*'''Reality/Fantasy overlap''' - Chris not only believes that the fantasy world of cartoons is real, but that one day it will merge with reality, and that already characters like [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], [[Mewtwo]], and [[Magi-chan]] have manifested themselves physically.
*'''Transitional Objects as Self''' - Chris has often emotionally attached himself to objects, resulting in [[Tour_of_Chris%27s_House_III|hoarding]], but the place in which this behaviour is most prevalent is with his character Sonichu. Chris identifies as Mother (previously Father) of Sonichu, and indeed all Sonichus, which results in him being protective of them, causing making things like putting them in danger in the comics seem [[Chris and writing|immoral]] to him.
*'''Time Loss''' - Due to Chris's reportedly long daydreaming sessions, and poor memory associated with them, and his frequent and aggressive habit of lying it can be suspected that this is a result of DID.
*'''Ability to Cut Off from Pain and an Awareness of Danger''' - Chris's peculiar approach to emotional pain, namely that he'll randomly cut off from it totally, can be ascribed partially to ASD, but there is also a chance it is also a symptom from some form of '''DID'''. Chris will produce very random responses, trolls efforts to destroy things that are close to him<ref>[[Medallions#Mark_1_.28and_decoy.29|Like his first medallion]]</ref> or kill those close to him<ref>Such as several gal-pals, examples of whom are: [[PandaHalo]], [[Sarah May]] and [[Ivy]].</ref> sometimes result in Chris showing little to no signs of caring in the slightest.


{{quotebox|Among the posts, I have found photographs of locations from around C-Ville, including this most recent one, in their string on the Plot on June 2, which I pray to prevent or counter.  
With this evidence, particularly noting the trauma that Chris must have received from the Idea Guy's manipulations, and Chris's current beliefs about the existence of imaginary places and people, and their ability to possess him, one may conclude that Chris having a mild form of '''DID''' is likely.


Can anyone confirm if this photo is true or false, for real, please?
==="Christian" vs "Christopher"===
For two days in [[August 2009]] Chris tried to convince [[Kacey]] and the rest of his fans that he had [[Wikipedia:Dissociative_identity_disorder|Dissociative identity disorder]], a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states. One of these "personalities" was named "Christopher" and the other named "Christian", as demonstrated in a [[30_August_2009|video]] from the time.


[[File:ChrisPoster06.jpg|300px]]}}
The video's original subject was quickly derailed by "Christopher", Chris's more "repressed" personality, by interrupting "Christian" mid-sentence, and having a free-flowing sentence with "Christian", something which is almost impossible for somebody with '''DID''' to do, due to usually not sharing memories, or surfacing at the same time. Chris did not end up managing to fool anyone into believing he had the disorder, and Kacey reprimanded him for pretending to have '''DID''' and lying to her. Chris apologised and said he made it up to "fuel" the trolls, which still leaves one to wonder why he tried to convince Kacey it was true.
{{quotebox|As well as these following recent photos; I do not know where they are specifically, but please confirm these for me as well.
[[File:Posters 1.png|thumb|center]]
[[File:Posters 2.png|thumb|center]]}}
{{quotebox|28 May 2012
Here is another location photo: they state this one is real.
[[File:Posters 3.png|thumb|left]]}}


Even his friend [[Anna McLerran|Anna]] could not convince him the whole thing was a joke. Any time she said they were fake, Chris said something to the effect of “prove it”. The irony is that Chris was posting pictures of the supposed posters he wanted nobody to see on his own Facebook proving once and for all that nobody trolls Chris more than Chris himself.
==See also==
 
Unsurprisingly, and again, Chris decided that the [[GAMe PLACe]] must be behind the plot. He demanded his friends to go there and find out any info they can from [[Michael Snyder]] and his “cronies” and search for any CWC posters they may have.<ref name="notlisten"></ref> Because it makes total sense that Michael Snyder would decorate his store with pictures of someone he wants nothing to do with. He was adamant that they would not mention him AT ALL. Perhaps in a rare moment of common sense, Chris realized that sending people to harass someone who has a pending court case against him was not a good idea.
 
{{quote|Also, I have read that they meet, or hang out at least, at C-Ville's Club 216 bar; anyone who can infiltrate and confirm with more details from those Trolls would be appreciated too.|[[Sonichu 0|GO! MY FRIENDS! GO OUT AND INFILTRATE TO THE EXTREME!]]}}
 
==“T” Day==
 
On 2nd June 2012, the day the trolls joked they would begin their campaign, Chris posted that he was hiding in his house and was keeping an eye on the local news because anything to do with Chris is big news. He once again demanded everyone go out and tear down any anti-CWC posters and “arrest” those responsible. He warned people to be on the lookout for pickle suited trolls, trolls with ugly clown masks, or KKK members. Chris also seems to think the trolls carry weapons for some reason. He also believed the trolls would actually pay money to hire a sky writer.
 
Chris also feared that a troll was going to come to his house, after they had joked about it on the forums. At this point it seems that the people on the forums were just watching Chris's Facebook posts and saying stuff so that Chris would react on Facebook.
 
Chris’s long series of posts that day shifted from him wanting people to take down the trolls to whining about how nobody cares about him even if he was dead. Anna once again tried to explain to Chris it was fake but Chris refused to listen unless she had “intel” to offer him.<ref>[[June_2012_Facebook_posts#T_Day]]</ref>
 
==Aftermath==
 
2 days later Chris posted a bizarre public note on facebook titled “to the trolls.” He begrudgingly admitted he had been fooled again, again. Chris stated he at some point during the whole fiasco he had called the Police. In a pathetic attempt to sound superior and tech savvy to the cwcki forums he claimed he was reading the posts through a certain users account. In other words he searched someone’s post history. Chris lashed out at the forums for not following through on their threats and called them “lying, cheating bastards” and he was growing tired of their “shit lies.” This definitively shows that while Chris may not be as visible as he once was he is still as gullible and paranoid as ever and that it is possible to troll Chris without even intending to troll him.<ref>[[June_2012_Facebook_posts#To_The_Trolls]]</ref>

One's personality is a set of mental, emotional, and behavioral qualities that make up an individual's character. Studying personality is a key aspect of psychology, allowing experts to know what makes people the way they are. There are many methods for testing one's personality, with some backed by decades of scientific research, and others created by random people on Facebook to show ads.

Chris's personality is quite eclectic. It is what draws countless people around the globe to study and follow his antics. He has spoken quite a bit on his own idea of his personality, but his own insight doesn't always jive with reality.

His personality has undergone quite the change since Bob's death, with some traits undergoing a full 180.

Disclaimer

The Myers-Briggs type indicator is a popular personality test system.

Personality testing is a controversial field, with few tests used universally within the scientific community. Even the famous Myers-Briggs test, while useful for rough workplace assessments, is somewhat vague. It misses key areas like creativity and openness, and people who take the test often get different results over time. The closest thing to a gold standard is the Big Five, or OCEAN test.

This article discusses various aspects of Chris's personality, but is not to be taken as a substitute for an actual psych-eval.

Introversion vs extraversion

Chris has shown traits of both introversion (reservedness, solitude) and extraversion (people-seeking, sociability) over the years. It should be be noted that no person is a true introvert or a true extrovert, rather it is more akin to a spectrum which people fall on, and people can behave differently in different contexts.

At high school, Chris appears to have been fairly introverted, though with a drive to be extroverted. A leaked icebreaker worksheet shows that Chris only talked to 7 of his class-mates. They were all female. Despite trying to later hold a high school reunion, in the Song of Christian, a 16-year old Chris describes having few friends and how his "loneliness is off the scale”. Even with the social prestige of being a water-boy to the school basketball team and his Gal-pals, Chris took his mom to the school prom. Nearly 10 years after the prom, Chris talked about feeling like an outcast at the prom, however his highlight of the evening was when one of his gal-pals felt sorry for him and "pulled [him] onto the dance floor". This dance "felt like hours" to Chris.[1]

Around the time of discovery by Encyclopedia Dramatica, Chris was mainly an introvert. He kept to himself and barely spoke to anyone but his sweetheart. He joined most public chats in both text and voice forms only after being goaded by his current sweetheart[2] or a troll. And even in these chats, he didn't converse a lot, and only answered questions directed towards him. Even while playing video games, he mostly stuck to playing single player games such as God of War, Pokemon, Sonic and Animal Crossing. Any multiplayer game he did play was mostly with his sweetheart like LittleBigPlanet and Burnout Paradise. Before his discovery, when he frequented the THe GAMe PLAce, he mostly kept to himself (and Megan), and rarely interacted with other people except during card games.[3]

Classic Chris, therefore would clearly fall on the introvert side of the spectrum but he isn't a full on introvert as he did visit an anime expo in 2004 and 2005. New Chris however would easily fall on he extrovert side since 2017 as he started publicly responding to people, started playing multiplayer and co-op games such as Tetris 99 and PayDay 2, visited multiple conventions like Bronycon, Omegacon, BABScon and the TooManyGames expo. He has also started streaming videos, and answering questions his fans have. He has also joined public and private discord groups, though his interaction with other humans in them is limited. On Twitter, he has started interacting (although poorly) to a ton of people ranging from artists to enablers.

Kindness vs resentment

Main article: Kindness

While Chris may strive to be kind, his efforts often fall flat and instead come across as annoying, overwhelming or creepy. Chris at least shows he makes an effort to look like a kind person, and he has referred to himself as the "kind and compassionate Christine Chandler".[4] But saying you're kind and actually being kind are two different things.

Many of Chris's attempts at being kind, from calling complete strangers "darling" to kissing guys he just met, are a clear violation of other's boundaries and easily make people feel uncomfortable. Ironically, his attempts can be quite unkind.

Empathy vs antipathy

Main articles: Remorse and Anger

Anger, or tard rage as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality. Also notable is his lack of empathy, beyond the point where it can be autism-related.

Chris uses apologies as a performative tool for making amends and not as a genuine expression of guilt.

Openness vs obstinacy

In psychology, openness is a person's receptivity to new or unfamiliar experiences and ideas, including changes.

It is to be noted that no person is completely open to change and no person is completely against it. People tend to be open regarding views to things that don't matter to them and like to remain closed about topics that is close to them. Chris is no exception.

Chris is not very open to thoughts that differ from his, he rejects opinions and actual scientific facts if they do not match his beliefs. When he used to hate the LGBT community, he would reject anyone trying to convince him otherwise how much ever sense they made. He had also gone to the point where he rejected the fact that Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism just because he didn't like it.

His hatred for the xbox too was due to him being closed on the subject, how many ever great games and features people showed him on the xbox, he would reject it and fixate on minor flaws the system had.

However, after he came out as a transgender, he became much more open to the LGBT and accepted people as equals, but his obstinacy has merely shifted topics, for example he completely believes in the Dimensional merge and anyone telling him otherwise is rejected as a troll. He openly rejects proof that the merge isn't happening and cherry picks minor incidents that seem to support his agenda.

A lot of his close mindedness can be blamed on his autism, as autistics are generally scared of change.

Chris and personality tests

Chris chose the blue option
Anudder one
another

Being a social media addict who also likes magical thinking, it's no surprise that Chris is a fan of personality tests. He has taken many over the years, here are a few of them:

  • A Magic: The Gathering quiz to find out that he is most like the white color typing, as each color associated with certain personality traits, the white type is associated with law and order, being the good guy beating up the bad guy.[5] This seems to indicate that Chris held to his idealistic views of good and evil, and wasn't being very true and honest in the test, since he is very anti-law when it stops him from doing what he wants.[6]

Dissociative identity disorder

Due to Chris's more recent behaviours, such as a belief in spirit possession and the manifestations of cartoon characters, Chris may indeed now have a mild trauma-induced strain of Dissociative identity disorder, a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states.[7] This is most likely connected to manipulation from the Idea Guys and other traumas in his youth due to the mistreatment of those with ASD in a clinical and social environment. It is unknown how real the characters are to Chris, but he seems very adamant that they are real and manifest physically.

The main indicators of DID that Chris displays are:

  • Daydreaming - Chris often mentions daydreaming as a form of meditation, during which Chris can "visit Cwcville", Chris's imaginary city where he is the overlord.
  • Imaginary friends - Chris has a belief that all comic book characters are real people, as autonomous as any human, and that these characters exist in the real world and speak to him in his head.[8]
  • Reality/Fantasy overlap - Chris not only believes that the fantasy world of cartoons is real, but that one day it will merge with reality, and that already characters like Sonichu, Mewtwo, and Magi-chan have manifested themselves physically.
  • Transitional Objects as Self - Chris has often emotionally attached himself to objects, resulting in hoarding, but the place in which this behaviour is most prevalent is with his character Sonichu. Chris identifies as Mother (previously Father) of Sonichu, and indeed all Sonichus, which results in him being protective of them, causing making things like putting them in danger in the comics seem immoral to him.
  • Time Loss - Due to Chris's reportedly long daydreaming sessions, and poor memory associated with them, and his frequent and aggressive habit of lying it can be suspected that this is a result of DID.
  • Ability to Cut Off from Pain and an Awareness of Danger - Chris's peculiar approach to emotional pain, namely that he'll randomly cut off from it totally, can be ascribed partially to ASD, but there is also a chance it is also a symptom from some form of DID. Chris will produce very random responses, trolls efforts to destroy things that are close to him[9] or kill those close to him[10] sometimes result in Chris showing little to no signs of caring in the slightest.

With this evidence, particularly noting the trauma that Chris must have received from the Idea Guy's manipulations, and Chris's current beliefs about the existence of imaginary places and people, and their ability to possess him, one may conclude that Chris having a mild form of DID is likely.

"Christian" vs "Christopher"

For two days in August 2009 Chris tried to convince Kacey and the rest of his fans that he had Dissociative identity disorder, a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states. One of these "personalities" was named "Christopher" and the other named "Christian", as demonstrated in a video from the time.

The video's original subject was quickly derailed by "Christopher", Chris's more "repressed" personality, by interrupting "Christian" mid-sentence, and having a free-flowing sentence with "Christian", something which is almost impossible for somebody with DID to do, due to usually not sharing memories, or surfacing at the same time. Chris did not end up managing to fool anyone into believing he had the disorder, and Kacey reprimanded him for pretending to have DID and lying to her. Chris apologised and said he made it up to "fuel" the trolls, which still leaves one to wonder why he tried to convince Kacey it was true.
