The '''Idea Guys''' were a group of trolls who influenced Chris to add politically incorrect themes and historical references, [[Internet]] memes and false rumors into his [[Sonichu (comic)|comic]], [[Facebook|social]] [[Twitter|media]] posts, and videos. Their aim was likely to see how gullible Chris was, and how [[Reality|little he understands]] about the world, though Chris's participation may not have been completely voluntary. Chris's interactions with Wise started when he informed Chris that the characters from ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'' were invading CWCville.
 
Initially thought to be the act of just '''Joshua Wise''', in May 2018 Chris suggested that there may be more than one Idea Guy.<ref name=callingout>[[May 2018 social media posts#Calling out the weens]]</ref> '''Stephen Boyd''', as well as perhaps two other people, were found to be working with Joshua.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-chris-chan-extortionists.45366/</ref>
 
The Idea Guys were removed from power around May 2018.<ref name=stillbelievingmarriage>[[May 2018 social media posts#On the Cryzel and Magi-Chan relationship and being blackmailed]]</ref> Chris stated that he has "very Powerful Allies helping to rectify the situation. I can't say much other than certain people should be Very Frightened right now!".
 
Due to their tactics including gaslighting Chris, threatening to falsely claim he was a pedophile to the FBI, and extorting him out of thousands, the Idea Guys are some of the most controversial figures in Christory, perhaps moreso than even [[BlueSpike]].
 
==Identity==
For months, fans wondered about their identities and fictional bio, as Chris did not disclose that he was in contact with a source. On 22 January 2018, moderators at [[Kiwi Farms]] decided to dox the user known as Ballzymaker94 for one of the Idea Guys.
 
With Idea Guy's doxing, Kiwi Farms users also found posts from his accounts there and on Reddit [[White knight|white knighting]] the Idea Guy from criticism and trying to publicize Chris's Idea Guy content in other communities.
 
On 11 July 2018, Kiwi Farms owner Null revealed three more Idea Guys. One of them was Stephen Boyd, who went by the name of NinFreakLan on Kiwi Farms as users would later discover. As for the last two, Null kept their identities secret, only revealing that one of them was Canadian and another was Chinese. Both of them contributed very little to the trolling effort and dropped out very early on.
 
==Behind the scenes==
[[File:IdeaGuyCwc News Media2.PNG|thumb|A sample of the fake news Wise used to convince Chris.]]
While under Wise's control, Chris himself kept quiet about the situation, never implying that anyone was taking control of him. However, the many references that he [[Honor roll|did not understand]] were a clear sign of external influence. There were also signs that Chris was coerced or duped into using Wise's ideas, as he appeared uncomfortable in Wise-inspired videos and is often alarmed by the troll's "revelations" about Chris's fictional world.
 
Some believed that the Idea Guy simply paid Chris. However, fans quickly determined that this was unlikely. The closest anyone came to paying Chris to influence CWCville was when [[William Elliott Waterman|Waterman]] paid him $100 to feature his [[Bananasauros]] character in [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], even providing a script, and Chris reacted by openly mocking Waterman and his character in the very pages of the comic, rushing through the plotline and then promptly disregarding the character. Furthermore, whenever people pay Chris for content, he has an established habit of dragging his feet and putting as little effort as he possibly can into the product. Examples of this include [[Paid Video Requests]] and his treatment of high-end clients such as [[DStecks]] and [[Ashuraglitch]].
 
In marked contrast, Chris appeared to genuinely believe Wise, thinking he was talking to his friends, as evidenced when he freaked out over the revelation of Rosechu being transgender. The [[Man in the Pickle Suit]] also speculated that Wise posed as various characters from CWCville.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/12-06-2017-rosechu-has-a-dick.37132/page-9#post-2831808</ref> This was confirmed when Kiwi Farms users who Wise had contacted in private leaked the details of his methods.
 
{{quote|He knows he's talking to a dude. The thing is that I used to be part of a roleplay community years ago, so the rest is kind of easy for me.

Wise's means of influencing Chris were surprisingly elaborate, taking the form of fake audio clips and photoshopped images which he presented to Chris as documents from CWCville and Gamindustri<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/idea-guy-joshua-wise-manipulating-the-intellecutally-disabled-for-fun-megathread.37132/page-80#post-2988349</ref>. Wise initially played the role of a soldier from Gamindustri named John.
 
The Kiwi Farms leaks also revealed a large amount of content that Chris made during the saga without releasing publicly, including several pages of [[Sonichu 16|''Sonichu'' #16]] covering the events Wise described to him. The pages show "John" – depicted in a gas mask and body armor from the [[Cherokean Chant|''S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'']] games – asking (real-world) Chris whether he still owns his Dreamcast, which John believes to be a portal to [[CWCville]]. In a page-and-a-half wall of text, Chris summarizes his adventures with John and the ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'' cast, and the salvation of Gamindustri and CWCville from the invaders.
 
Wise told Chris that [[Magi-Chan]] had a vision that [[Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)|Crystal]] would be born from Chris [[Homos|anally]] [[Chris and sex#Rape|raping]] Sonichu; despite so blatantly going against Chris's beliefs and wishes, the message was convincing enough that Chris drew a horrifying piece of artwork depicting the act, where Comic Chris apologizes to Sonichu but insists that "destiny called us to make this baby".
 
Wise also duped Chris into believing he would receive various magical abilities in real life. This apparently emboldened Chris to begin making plans to travel to meet the creator of [[Rosechu's Story]] and to confront [[Cole Smithey]] in New York, possibly with the help of magic powers that he expected to receive. According to the leaker, Wise actually did the responsible thing in these cases and convinced Chris not to go. However, he also told Chris that Neptune would be waiting to meet him at a GameStop; Chris went, specifically, to the Forest Lakes GameStop (from which he [[List of places that have banned Chris|had been banned]]) and waited outside in [[Son-Chu|his car]], honking his horn and peering inside.
 
==Changes to Chris's fantasy land / sense of reality==
Below are summaries of changes attributed to the Idea Guy.
 
===[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]===
Throughout November, Chris made several posts,<ref>[[November 2017 Facebook posts]]</ref> some accompanied by drawings, on being possessed by ''Hyperdimension Neptunia'' goddess Uzume Tennouboshi and an invasion of CWCville by enemy forces from the ''Neptunia'' video games.
 
Halfway through the month, observers began speculating that a new troll had appeared, as Chris's posts began to include references designed to go over his head. On 14 November, he wrote that [[Silvana]] had been captured by a Russian billionaire and posted a photo of the soldier who would be rescuing her, recognized by spectators as part of the Remove Kebab internet meme. The same day, Chris recorded [[Freestyle Dance With Me, For Our World!]] while wearing a tinfoil hat to prevent "the man" from reading his mind.
 
===Nazi [[CWCville]]===
[[File:Smashing (720p 30fps H264-192kbit AAC).mp400001.png|thumb|200px|The [[Christine Doll]], shortly before being executed.]]
 
A day after the "Freestyle Dance", Chris described in detail how Silvana had been saved in a military conflict titled [[Operation BARBarossa]], thinking the name was meant to be a clever nod towards [[Barb|his mother]]. The post was littered with references to World War II, particularly on actions by Nazi Germany, such as "prison camps full of large ovens" built on CWCville soil.
 
Days later, Chris expanded on the new CWCville lore,<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#Updates on prison camps & reality]]</ref> giving the names of the prison camps. He also warned that CWCville's supply of U.S. money had been tainted with a virus – a concept borrowed from the video game ''Tom Clancy's The Division'' – and encouraged travelers to use "Cwcsmarts" instead – a name slightly reminiscent of Nazi (and Weimar) Germany's "Reichsmark". Later, he mentioned that CWCville's ZIP Code had been changed from its previous Mexican designation to one in Germany, near the picturesque village of Birkenau, not to be confused with the WWII death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, which operated in German-occupied Poland - As expected, Chris failed to notice this error by Idea Guy, and so the abuse continued.
 
Two weeks after the BARBarossa post, Chris had noticed speculation that he had fallen in with the Nazi crowd, and took offense to it, insisting that the ideas had come from [[Count Graduon]].
 
On 26 December, the Idea Guy informed Chris that citizens of CWCville who refused to accept [[SLGBTQ]] formed a homophobic klan and attacked the [[CWCville Shopping Center|CWCville Mall]], and rioted after the trial of [[Jamsta]] for molesting [[Punchy Sonichu]]. In the same message, he mentioned that the [[TrollBusters]] have been reformed into the "CWCstapo", an obvious (though lost on Chris) reference to the [[wikipedia:Gestapo|Gestapo]], the secret police of Nazi Germany, to "be better at stopping criminals".<ref name=jamsta>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref> The update contains the line "A police state is a Country run by CRIMINALS", a quote from ''Fatherland'', a novel set in an alternate timeline in which Nazi Germany won World War II.
 
A few weeks later, on 16 January, Chris was told that the [[Christine Doll|MLP doll he had customized to his image]] was, in fact, bugged by Nazis. He took vengeance by [[smashing]] it to pieces on camera. A few days later, Chris destroyed his Christmas tree and a photo of Hulk Hogan in [[Get Out, You D*** Nazis!‎]] for the same reason.
 
{{quote|Chris thinks he fucked up big with having his new medallion crafted out of Element 115(Nazi Zombies reference FTW), which was stolen by a time traveling Hitler, and the Chris from the comics was taken too. Now Cwcville is under the control of the Nazis, and this is what he thinks Cwcville(along with the US) looks like in his imagination land.|Idea Guy<ref name=q&a>[[Idea Guy Q&A]]</ref>}}

===CWCville elections===
On 26 November, Chris broke his longstanding policy barring elections in CWCville by announcing that the position of mayor was up for election.<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville mayoral election]]</ref> The mayoral candidates included several notorious historical figures, Russian president Vladimir Putin, actor [[wikipedia:Brendan Fraser|Brendan Fraser]], [[Ian Brandon Anderson]] and ''[[Video games|Payday 2]]'' character [[Bob]] McKendrick. Incumbent [[Allison Amber]] did not run for reelection. Chris himself endorsed McKendrick, due to him sharing a name with his father, with a slogan ripped off from [[Pmurt]]'s "Make America Great Again".
 
A few days later, Chris announced another election for chief of police.<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville Chief of Police election]]</ref> The candidates were Ian Brandon Anderson (again), "[[wikipedia:Manuel Noriega|Man-Ewell Noriega]]", and two serial killers.
 
Brendan Fraser won the mayoral election and took office sometime in December;<ref name=jamsta></ref> Ian Brandon Anderson won the vote for chief of police but Chris has yet to confirm that he has taken office.
 
===Trans Rosechu===
[[File:Cwc imaginary gal-pal's penis.jpg |thumb|250px]]
A distraught Chris posted to Facebook and Twitter in early December, saying that [[Rosechu]] had informed him that she was actually transgender, and had a penis up until the events of [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], at which point she underwent advanced gender-reassignment surgery to become "Fully Woman" and enable her to give birth to her children.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Is Rosechu a transwoman?]]</ref>
 
Chris, agitated about the prospect of altering his canon in such a significant way, put up a poll to ask fans whether Rosechu should stay trans or be retconned back to his original concept of her being female from birth, pointing out that Rosechu being trans would hurt him and that the other option would hurt her. This reaction was seen by spectators as trans-shaming towards Rosechu, who he believes to be real in another dimension. In essence, Chris wants to be accepted as trans, added a [[Robee Sonichu|ten-year-old]] trans-female to his comic, and forced Rosechu and the gang to fully accept and love Chris for coming out – [[Chris and hypocrisy|but refuses to believe Rosechu herself could possibly be trans]].
 
===Residents of the CWCville dimension===
====[[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Chris]]====
 
With the revelation that the Nazis have taken Cwcville, it is also revealed that pre-tomgirl Chris in the comic was an from an alternate timeline, where he was whisked into the past by the Nazis. Every [[Sonichu 10|atrocity]] committed by Chris is also revealed to be the actions of Nazi Chris. He was then killed by tomgirl Chris with a swift kick to the testicles.
 
{{quote|Chris looked back at his comics and was shocked to see how little respect he had in portraying women in his works. He thinks the Nazis kidnapped 2000s Chris and brought him back in time where they possessed him with Satanic powers and helped the Nazis win WW2.
 
In truth, I made a joke about the Nazis and Satanic powers, not realizing just how much he'd take it in.
 
''[...]''
 
I told him Chris from the past abolished women's rights so he can go on his love quest. Chris got so pissed, especially after I told him that Classic Chris helped the Nazis win WW2. |Idea Guy<ref name=q&a></ref>}}

====[[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]====
[[File:CWCSonichu Rule34.jpeg|thumb|200px|Chris butt-fucking Sonichu in comic form in order to fulfill a prophecy for [[Crystal]]'s birth.]]
 
[[Magi-Chan]] foretold of a prophecy in which [[Crystal]] would be born by Chris mating with Sonichu. He also informed Chris that if this was drawn, he wouldn't have to do it in real life. Chris complied<ref name=q&a></ref>.
 
[[Sonichu 15|''Sonichu'' #15]], a book Chris had wanted to use for a modern retelling of [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]] prior to his known interactions with the Idea Guy, has significant alterations to the canon of the comics. Sonichu's new birthday is given as April 20th, or "4/20" – representing the slang term "[[Tobacky#Cannabis|420]]", but also coinciding with Adolf Hitler's birthday and the anniversary of the Columbine massacre.
 
{{clear}}
 
Another change in birthday is for [[Magi-chan]], which was changed to 14 November, 1948<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/987472560114806786</ref> - the joke being that this made him [[Sex|69 years old]] - making him the oldest Sonichu in the comic. It is also the same birthdate of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles,_Prince_of_Wales Prince Charles, the current heir apparent to the British throne].
 
Halfway through December, Chris exclaimed that [[Silvana]] had been lost in the past, but that there was a way to bring her back if his followers would "BELIEVE In Silvana Rosechu, and her Fullest Existence in Cwcville, Virginia, USA, Of All Timelines, Worlds and Dimensions!". She was revived in a new form, with her old one destroyed.<ref name=silvana>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Silvana lost in the past]]</ref>
 
Sonichu lore was changed from an unknown number of Sonichu species to an exact number - [[Sex|69]]<ref name=silvana></ref> - which Chris had to retcon [[Sonichu 8]] to fit in.
 
On 5 January, Chris posted that [[Magi-Chan]] and his mentor, Mewtwo, had gotten married – showing that gay marriage is indeed legal in CWCville.<ref name=gaymarriage>[[January 2018 Facebook posts‎‎#Mewtwo and Magi-Chan married]]</ref> They now live as a "loving [[Chris and English|triage]]" with [[Silvana]].
 
After Idea Guy was outed, Chris resumed uploading pages for [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]]. In it, jokes and references inserted by Idea Guy survived: [[Night Star]] and [[Jessica Quinn|Diamond Melody]] order a hotdog from a Tesco merchant (Tesco had a scandal involving selling beef with horse meat to customers). Night Star also rambles about her age, giving references to ''Gears of War''.<ref>[[November 2017 Patreon posts]]</ref>
 
Similarly, in-progress work on [[Sonichu 14]] shows Chris still using Idea Guy's suggestions.
 
Partial pages of [[Sonichu 16]] were posted by Kiwi Farms users whom Idea Guy had confided in, the plot of which involves his explanation on how he got access to Chris and the nightmarish state of CWCville he had described to him. Chris retained the story after the Idea Guys were ousted, however, his allies suggested that he avoid publishing the issue.
 
===Real people===
====Theories on Ted Bundy====
 
Chris stated several wild theories about serial killer Ted Bundy during the [[Count Dankula]] interview.
 
====Sonichu genealogy for Chris, Bob and Ted Bundy====
Chris was told that some people are half-Sonichu, such as Chris, his father [[Bob]] and serial killer [[wikipedia:Ted Bundy|Ted Bundy]]. [[Barb]], on the other hand, is full human.
 
This idea was implanted into Chris prior to Josh Wise being doxed in January 2018; Chris maintained belief in this even after the Idea Guys had been finally removed from power in May 2018, bringing it up in June 2018 during the [[Count Dankula]] interview.

====[[Megan Schroeder]]====
In July 2018, Chris, during a long rant on being a chronicler for the ''Sonichu''-verse, mentioned a belief that Megan has the memories of [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|CPU Red Heart]], which she had earned while in politics<ref>[[July 2018 social media posts]]</ref>.
 
===Chris trying to meet an anime girl IRL===
{{quote|I let him go to GameStop looking for Neptune while honking his horn and shouting her name. [...] He went up to the window and “thoroughly scanned” the inside for Neptune.  [...] The Forest lakes GameStop. He went there because I said Neptune would wait at a GameStop.

===Marrying Chris to Cryzel Rosechu and Magi-Chan===
{{main|Cryzel and Magi-Chan}}
Chris began a polyamorous relationship with fictional characters [[Cryzel Rosechu]] and [[Magi-Chan]] on 26 March 2018. Eventually, Chris declared himself to be bisexual after having had Magi-Chan as a boyfriend.
 
Strangely, Chris continued to hold onto this delusion even after the Idea Guys were removed from power<ref name=stillbelievingmarriage>[[May 2018 social media posts#On the Cryzel and Magi-Chan relationship and being blackmailed]]</ref>.
 
===Chris liking flat-chested women===
[[File:Flat-chested women April 2018.jpg|thumb|200px]]
 
Early in April, Chris posted a drawing commemorating flat-chested women, depicting himself as flat-chested instead of with the usual comically-large breasts.<ref name=aprilposts></ref>
 
{{clear}}
 
===Turning Chris bisexual===
[[File:CWC like video of shirtless men.png|thumb|Chris liked a video featuring [[Muscle bra|shirtless men]] in April 2018.]]
 
On 10 April 2018, Chris came out as [[Chris and sexuality#Bisexuality|bisexual]], saying he had done so after discussion with [[Cryzel and Magi-Chan]].<ref name=aprilposts>[[April 2018 social media posts]]</ref> Days later, he uploaded a disturbing video, [[Dick Licker; that is I.]], in which he licked an image of Magi-Chan's penis drawn on a wall (and was comfortable enough to mention that he had given oral sex to Magi-Chan to a Twitter ween.<ref name=price></ref>). He also updated his [[Facebook]] to note that he is a bisexual transwoman, "interested in men and women".
 
A clue as to how Chris was manipulated into a belief that went against his hard stance of being a lesbian is in a quote from a set of bizarre tweets Chris posted on 17 April:<ref name=bizarre>[[April 2018 social media posts#Chris's Twitter controlled by troll]]</ref>
 
{{quote|I would have sex with my Cwcville counterpart, and even my Equestria Counterpart, Nightstar. Her sweetie, Kun T'Nyuget, was so handsome, he made me realize I was Bisexual. He was like, WOW!}}
 
Kun T'Nyuget was an Idea Guy character planted into CWCville in January. It fits with the Idea Guys' pattern of manipulating Chris by altering CWCville via role-playing and Chris believing it.
 
===Making Chris into a prostitute===
 
On 24 April 2018, Chris announced:<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/988803950165012480</ref>
 
{{quotebox|Anyone living locally to me in Virginia, or visiting in Charlottesville, I’ll give y’all BJs for money too. Serious.}}
 
A Twitter ween DM'd Chris about it. In the conversation, Chris said:<ref name=price>[[:File:NAME YOUR PRICE!!.jpeg]]</ref>
 
{{quotebox|Consider me a beginner with experience blowing [[Cryzel and Magi-Chan|my loving boyfriend]], willing to learn and adapt further. $50 for that BJ from this celeb; if he wants butt sex, that will be $100. Cash only.}}
 
Chris told Twitter fan [[CWCProtectSquad|Tings Tingz]] that he was indeed serious about prostituting himself, had several offers, but had not taken on any customers. When asked if he would consider, Chris responded, "a little from Column 'A' and the latter from Column 'B'".<ref>File:TingsTingz concern for the prostitution message.jpg</ref>
 
Chris disavowed the prostitution messages on 7 May 2018, saying he had been coerced.<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/993693423084318720</ref> He went further on 25 May, saying he had been forced to write such things, and that the people responsible for it – one from California and another from Kentucky – "know who They Are and their Day is Coming and Rightfully SOON!".<ref name=callingout></ref>
 
===Other content===
On 7 December, Chris posted a "dark" [[Pokémon]] fan theory, lamenting that Pokémon are kept in suspended animation with "NO Simulated Fields made from Virtual Reality! NO Living Room Apartment Setting! NOTHING! Suspended Animation in Dark".<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#What it's like in a Pokeball]]</ref>
 
On 11 December, Chris performed a supposed "[[Cherokean Chant]]", which in fact involved mimicking the "squatting Slav" meme and reciting Internet meme quotes from the ''S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'' video game series, all while [[Alcohol|drunk on half a fifth of vodka]].
 
On 21 April 2018, Chris recorded [[I’m Sorry for Ruining so many Fandoms]].
 
===="Translated" dialogue====
In November and December, Chris drew what he believed to be artwork featuring [[Sailor Moon]] characters conversing with his comic counterpart in foreign languages. However, he was actually tricked into writing "I am carrying a penis", among other things, in Japanese.<ref>[[November 2017 Patreon posts#Chris writes about dicks, thinks it's his signature]]</ref>
 
A month later, more "translated" art was posted,<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#"Translated" Sailor Moon drawings]]</ref> this one featuring the [[Wikipedia:Meine Ehre heißt Treue|SS motto]] as well as German lines from the video games ''Brothers in Arms'' and ''Wolfenstein: The New Order''. In addition, Chris tried to write the "I am carrying a penis" line again, although he accidentally wrote it with a typo.
 
The German translations in particular put Chris's [[naïve|naïveté]] on full display, with some of the German dialogue featuring words such as "Zebra", "Evolution" and "Universum", which are similar or identical to English counterparts that are obviously absent in the supposed translations, yet [[Slow-in-the-minds|he was none the wiser]].

===Private messages===
 
As Ballzymaker94, Idea Guy had contacted several members of Kiwi Farms through private messaging to discuss his trolling efforts. After he was doxed by the site's moderators on 22 January 2018, the users came forward to post the content he had shared with them.
 
[[File:KF mod on ideaguy.png|thumb|200px|A Kiwi Farms moderator elaborates on why they forced the Idea Guy saga to end.]]
 
He had not shared all of his content and chat logs over PM, and generally summarized his interactions with Chris. He offered to trade in all of his information in exchange for the moderators removing the dox of his family members, however, they refused the deal on the grounds that they disliked his public trolling output.
 
One user had a lengthy conversation with him, spanning from 3 December to 18 December 2017, archived in [[Idea Guy Q&A]]. In it, Idea Guy discusses how he had gained Chris’s trust, how Chris reacted to some of his ideas and mentions content which had not been publicly released, such as Chris wanting intel on whether Jessica Quinn was actually a troll, how Chris tried to prevent [[Jamsta]] from being jailed for molestation and Chris’s attempts to interact with Neptunia goddesses.
 
==Extortion==
What was the final straw in the unpopular views of the Idea Guys were their acts of extortion to Chris. Null, the owner of Kiwi Farms, revealed that they managed to extort $6,000 worth of video games and other accessories. Not only that, in a [[The Bad Beginning|Discord chat]], Boyd would demand $20,000 or else he would reveal that Chris is a pedophile to the FBI. Fortunately, Chris's tendency to hold on to things obsessively assisted him this time, as Chris had kept each of the invoices and receipts from the transactions he made, allowing Null to gather the necessary information to begin tracking the Idea Guys.

==Idea Guy, post-doxing==
Even though the first Idea Guy was doxed by The Farms, he foolishly refused to give up, and continued to exert his control on Chris in increasingly disturbing ways. After Idea Guy was doxed, Chris continued to wear the [[Chris and fashion|Gopnik outfit]] which Idea Guy had him don for the [[Cherokean Chant]] video, which became a staple of his fashion. Chris also modified his [[medallion]] shortly before Idea Guy was doxed, to feature an item from ''Hyperdimension Neptunia'' – this also continued after Idea Guy left and can be seen in [[Our signatures]], a video recorded months later. In April 2018, Chris posted a drawing of him showing support for flat-chested women, with his character wearing both the Gopnik outfit and modified medallion. On 20 April, when asked by a troll, he affirmed that it was indeed Sonichu's birthday, that Magi-chan was born in 1948 (making him the oldest of the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon), and that Sonichu's previous canonical birthday was actually the day "[[Reality Cartoon|he came More into this world]] and in my life".<ref>[[April 2018 social media posts#A birthday "surprise"]]</ref>
 
In March 2018, a ween brought up the Nazi camps, and Chris responded:<ref>[[March 2018 social media posts]]</ref>
 
{{quote|That was Graduon’s Idea; NOT Mine.}}
 
An out-of-character video surfaced in April, [[One-Hundred!]], in which Chris exercises with dumbbells.
 
On 17 April, the influence over Chris became much more obvious. Chris's Twitter account repeatedly posted slanderous lies about him.<ref name=aprilposts></ref> He then deleted the tweets, claiming a hack had occurred – this is unlikely due to the speed at which he was able to remove the posts. Chris, being [[naïve]], may have been coerced just as he was for the prostitution messages.

*In a tweet on 16 April, Chris inadvertently let slip a clue as to how he was being trolled, the same technique used before the doxing:
 
{{quotebox|I had not heard much of the Nostalgia Critic yet, but in Cwcville, apparently, Christine and the Hedgehog Boys made a song about him, “The Nostalgia Critic Did Nothing Wrong!” So, some of my family and species likes him. Cool. :) <ref name=aprilposts></ref>}}
 
* Chris drew [[Kun T’Nyuget]] on 23 January 2018, merely one day after Wise had been doxed, but did not reveal it until months later in May 2018. The character next surfaced as a mention in a set of tweets in April, in connection with an Idea Guy plot on turning Chris bisexual.<ref name=bizarre></ref>
* In December 2017, Josh Wise had Chris film [[Cherokean Chant]], which featured him reciting a video game meme, ''Cheeki Breeki'', because Chris believed it to be a chant of Cherokees.<ref name=q&a></ref> The Cheeki Breeki lines surfaced again in a drawing of Chris Chan Sonichu, dated February 2018.
* During May 2018, Chris made many tweets indicating that his association with the Idea Guys had ended. In one tweet, he called them out on a couple of schemes which had taken place in [[April 2018]], and said:<ref name=callingout></ref>

==Still a believer==

After Idea Guy was removed from power in May 2018, Chris still maintained belief in many of the concepts that were embedded into him, despite being aware that Idea Guy is a troll. In the [[Copitz]] interview, filmed a few weeks later, Chris restated that he was bisexual, and in the [[Count Dankula]] interview, filmed in June, Chris reiterated many of the ideas fed to him about CWCville when asked about his beliefs, such as his marriage to Cryzel and Magi-Chan, Bob being part-Sonichu and theories about Ted Bundy. In [[Nightstar is a very important Special Sonichu]], Chris still believes in the joke revision that there are 69 species of Sonichus/Rosechus.
 
==Cryzel Torture==
{{main|Cryzel Torture}}
 
Despite being doxxed, Idea Guy refused to quit. On July 13, 2018, [[Null]] revealed a nine-hour-long chatlog where Wise and Stephen Boyd berate Chris and continue to convince him that his characters were being tortured. Notably, despite the fact that Chris knew about Idea Guy, he was utterly convinced (again) that everything he said was true.
 
It was also during this Discord session that Chris would upload his [[Honest Content|TRUE and HONEST]] rendition of "[[All Star]]".
