Of course, this then goes into somewhat more concerning issues, like the idea that to Chris, other people are potentially as 'real' as cartoon characters. That could be because he has little ability to distinguish between fact and fiction, it could be because he views cartoon characters as things that must be real because they walk and talk (and apparently to him his drawings are photo-real), or even because he has so little ability to empathise with real people, they're as fake as cartoon characters appear to be. | |||

Hi there!
Welcome to CWCki! There's a lot to do around here because Chris never does anything himself. I hope you'll stay with us and make many improvements of your own!
- Before you start, be sure to read A Quick Guide to CWCki. This will guide you through the dos and don'ts of editing the world's most accurate wiki. Be especially sure to read this if you consider Anonymous to be legion or if you've just come over from ED. Everything you know is wrong.
- Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.

Some of your writing
"He wants to identify as a woman attracted to women despite being sexed male." An interesting thought, but I struggle to find it really convincing yet. I find it easy to think of Chris as having poor concept of gender distinction. Do we know if Bob was ever working during Chris' childhood? It does sound from some of the articles as if Bob has always been retired, but it is difficult to tell. Chris has never had the classic, cliche "Man is the breadwinner while woman minds the home". If the house is any example, Barbara is horrible at looking after the home, and Bob has just enough old school in him to view the housework as the 'womans duty'. Chris' entire knowledge of what makes up man and woman is "Men are mean to me" (Bob has no hesitation to talk down to him, and I imagine he was bullied in school by physically superior male students), and "Women look after me" (his 'gal pals' and his coddling mother). I have little difficulty in imagining Chris views women as the better gender than men, and Chris is always willing to be on the winning side.
Also: "This, of course, implies that Chris interacts with the characters on a daily basis and is constantly in contact with them. One could only shudder at the manchild speaking into thin air, asking an invisible Sonichu how his family is doing." Honestly while I find that image hilarious, I find it easier to believe that it's more of an escapism dream-world than Chris picking up his mobile and thinking it's Sonichu on the other end. The city of Cwcville is his perfect little escapism from his real life, it's a place where he is in control, where he wins, where he is loved. Hell, one of the reasons he probably thinks of himself as so kind is the fact that he matches everyone up perfectly in Cwcville so they all get to go home and have sex.
The reason this is important is because in the face of so much evidence to the contrary, not even Chris can believe he is in control of the real world. So when faced with situations like "No Chris, you can't keep my character, I'm taking her back", he will claim that in his world she doesn't want to leave.
