Slow-in-the-minds

Sonichu is also a slow-in-the-mind

"Slow-in-the-minds" and "slow minded" are CWC-isms that refer to mentally retarded, crazy, and/or generally stupid people. (Other than Chris himself, of course.) The term was first seen in Chris's school project "A Week With Christian Chandler."

"Slow-in-the-minds" hits a fine trifecta of points. One, it displays Chris's arrogance, seeing as how it applies to so many classes of people, all of whom he considers "slower" than he. Two, it shows Chris's lip-service attention to fitting in to society, since it's a piss-poor euphemism on its own and even worse when used in a school project. Three, there's a delicious irony in Chris decrying students who are "slow in the mind", even though his own mental aptitude is dubious.

In a number of responses from the Mailbag, Chris has explained that he finds the mentally handicapped (especially those who also have physical deformities) creepy, and likens them to zombies. Chris's bigotry extends to his fellow autistics — he speaks in incredibly cruel and derisive terms about the various mental and physical problems that are thrust upon these innocent individuals, whereas he (as a self-proclaimed "high-functioning" autistic) is pure and clean.

Disgustingly, he barely seems to consider "lower-functioning" autistics human, yet in the article on Aspergers on the CWCipedia, he claims to be a spokesperson for TRUE and HONEST autistics, making a stand against the "competing retards". However, it can be noted he was using it as a vehicle for making himself look good whilst BAWing about why he should be receiving the care and attention that those with Aspergers apparently receive. Because of this, it still comes off as another reason why he is generally regarded, even by those who share his conditions, as a vulgar embarrassment to those in the Autism Spectrum.
