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/stun gun on himself. This action in turn led to tension between the Watchmen group and Chris, who criticized the group's treatment towards Praetor.
The '''Financhu Crisis''' is a term coined by users from [[Kiwi Farms]] to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's [[Chris and money|financial management]] beginning in early [[2016]]. Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on [[YouTube]] and [[Facebook]].


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.

Chris, begging for money, while standing in front of more than a thousand dollars' worth of Lego sets and toys.

The Financhu Crisis is a term coined by users from Kiwi Farms to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's financial management beginning in early 2016. Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on YouTube and Facebook.

In June 2017, Chris began to take his Patreon account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts, and payments continued until 2 August 2021, when his Patreon account was shut down. As a result, begging had temporarily subsided.
