The GameStop Assault video is a short film clip captured by Tumblr user monozettai[1], in which Chris, sporting full Tomgirl regalia, throws away any pity points he may have earned by breaking three separate laws in one visit to his local GameStop. Captured on 26 December 2014, the video[2] shows Chris loudly requesting that the store's employees not bother with calling anyone, presumably to have him forcefully ejected from the premises. Strutting confidently out of the store, Chris sprays pepper spray into the eyes of the employee who was calling security, who understandably reacts with an expression of both horror and confusion. Chris supposedly intended to deface a Sonic Boom display at the store; it is not clear whether or not he succeeded, or if the employees at the store recognized him as the Chris they know and previously refused to tolerate - though it is claimed by monozettai that they did, and he refused to leave.
True to form, Chris's fashion sense seems to be at its worst now that he's crossdressing - his outfit consists of novelty purple My Little Pony toy glasses, Manchester High hoodie, blue denim shorts, purple leggings, a hairband and what appear to be light-brown Ugg boots. Note that the ill-fitting Manchester High hoodie seems to be a firm favorite in Chris's tomgirl wardrobe, as it is also seen in the I Love You, Catherine video.
Video Background
After the video was discovered by the Christorians, many weens flooded monozettai's inbox with questions on his recollection of the event. This is what he had to say about the incident:
I was in Gamestop looking at the 3ds rack when I heard a racket from my left. I looked up and saw Chris surrounded by 3-4 employees in a corner (I recognized Chris’ voice before their appearance). A woman was telling Chris that they had been banned from the store and needed to leave, to which Chris responded with something like “Oh come ON, can’t we let bygones be bygones?” The employees ignored him and continued to tell him to leave and threatened to call security. Eventually they dispersed to do so, which is about when I began filming (I had been wondering whether or not I should, but I’d say only about 20 or so seconds had gone by between when I noticed and when I started filming).

Spray and Aftermath
- Main article: 26 December 2014
According to some, including monozettai[4], the substance sprayed on the hapless employee was indeed pepper spray, or a derivative thereof. However, many expressed doubt on this due to the mild reaction of Chris's victim, theorizing it may be spray paint or perfume (whatever it was, he's guilty of assault regardless). The Jail call seems to indicate that it was indeed pepper spray, but probably weaker, over-the-counter stuff.

Transcript

Employee (To Chris): You're too tense. (Laughs)
[Chris sprays a yellow-shirted employee with pepper spray, who recoils in self-defense.]
Employee: Whoa! Hey! [mouths "what the fuck"]
