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]].
