'''''Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History''''' is a documentary [[Internet|webseries]] created by [[Geno Samuel]], which began in [[February 2018]]. It is, as the name suggests, an extensive, in-depth documentary about [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]'s life, similar to [[Chris Chan Documentary (Sachumo)|Sachumo]]'s. However, while Sachumo's film is an abridged summary of Chris's life for newcomers, Geno's videos go into greater detail, with most videos being between 35 to 45 minutes in length, with a decent portion of this being tied to the playback of Chris's own audio and video.

Gay 4 Sonichu is the Internet's first web forum for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Sonichu fans. Unsurprisingly, the message board was an attempt to bait Chris into a response by trolls, which Chris fell for hook, line, and sinker.

While Gay 4 Sonichu was very short term, with only one instance of direct contact with Chris (in the form of an IRC encounter between Chris and Gay 4 Sonichu founder Ignatius J. Reilly, PhD.) it had a long term impact. Reilly's paper on the homoerotic themes of Sonichu, "Heterosexual Homoeroticism in Internet Subcultures: A Case Study" (published in the Journal of Gay and Lesbian Subculture Studies, Fall 2009) seemed to hit Chris hard. Chris would also retcon aspects of his comic that could be taken to be gay, such as the Rainbow Chris scene from Sub-Episode 2 and redubbing the Sonichu Balls "Sonichu Crystals."
