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 [[Quartz crystals|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. Chris wanted to borrow [[Praetor]]'s taser to conduct this experiment, which Praetor had a supply of as they wished to sell autographed tasers on their [[Etsy]] shop. While Praetor initially agreed to meet with him and supervise the experiment, the [[Watchmen]] white knight group opposed the plan, believing Chris's safety to be at risk. 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 impression Praetor wished to get Chris to use a taser on himself. This action in turn led to tension between the Watchmen group and Chris, who criticized the group's treatment towards Praetor.
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. 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]].


Ultimately, Praetor cancelled plans to let Chris borrow their taser and the matter remains another of Chris's unresolved attempts to bring about the Merge. They also paused plans to sell the tasers in the wake of the Watchmen's actions, eventually putting them up for sale in 2022.

PROTESTING SANIC BUM.jpg

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'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, 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 prolonged estrangement from reality could reach new heights, and that concepts such as civility, moderation and channeling 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 brandishing his can of mace and spraying it at one poor employee's shirt.
