Naïve is one of Chris's most-used insults. According to Merriam-Webster's English dictionary, the word "naïve" means "deficient in worldly wisdom or informed judgment; especially: credulous"[1]; Chris, however, defines it in his July 10th Messages as merely "questioning one's intelligence", showing that he only understands the most overly simplified definition of the word. He also refers to it as "the cruelest of words". He often pairs it with "retard", "slow in the mind", or one of his many other CWC-ism insults.
Chris has called others (largely trolls) "naïve" on many occasions. In a comment on one of CChanSonichuCWC's videos, Chris calls his voice "more grating than the word 'naïve'". Later in the same saga, he remarks that the name Ian Brandon Anderson sounds "about as bad as the word naïve to me now". It has never occurred to Chris that assuming that other people find the word "naïve" as offensive as he does is — well — naïve.
The origins of Chris's disdain for this word likely come from occasions when it has been used against him in attempts to give him constructive criticism, such as the Vivian Gee E-mails. He seems to have twisted its original, relatively polite meaning into the worst insult he can muster. When Kacey's father called him naïve, Chris became enraged, almost to the point of threatening physical violence.
Ways in which Chris is naïve
- He believes that Sonichu is a popular internet topic with millions of fans. Despite all of the evidence proving that Sonichu has no real fans, only 5000 or so trolls, he continues to believe in this delusion on the grounds that he is an "optimist".
- He believes that everyone shares his bad habits.
- He is under the impression that just because Asperger's is a different name than High Functioning Autism, it's a completely different syndrome, despite no proof of this belief.
- He thinks that all gays are malicious perverts that want to have anal sex, the same beliefs as the Westboro Baptist Church.
- He believes that cartoon characters are real, living beings that exist in an alternate world.[2]
- He believes that registering "digital drawings" with the Library of Congress gives him complete control over anything done with Sonichu.[3]
- He believes that simply being alive counts as "experience", despite the fact that he never goes out to experience anything.
- He believes that correlation implies causation; or, that if he demands something happen (mostly via YouTube video or his now-abandoned website), and - by some miracle - it happens, then his demands must have caused the desired effect. These effects include death or extreme misfortune for people, and downtime or content removal for websites.
- He believes that marijuana is a more dangerous cigarette.
