Chris takes being blocked well.

In January 2019, several members of TF2 Analysis blocked Chris on Twitter after either being harassed by weens tagging them or as a preemptive measure after finding out about Chris's personality flaws. In an extreme online move for Chris, he responded by briefly protecting his account and then subsequently moving to a new, protected handle in an attempt to minimize troll harassment. Christorians have marked this event as the start of the Soft Exile.

Prologue

Chris has always been a fan of My Little Pony; however, his interest in the franchise peaked in 2017, with notable events including the creation of Sonichu 12-9 protagonist Night Star and his attendance of BronyCon 2017. From this point, Chris would interact with a number of My Little Pony cast and crew, as well as contributors within the Brony community. It is likely that Chris' ongoing attachment to the franchise partly stems from the fact that it provides the most social interaction (online and in person) that he does beyond his local stomping ground.[1]

Chris is no stranger to people blocking him on Twitter. Not even two years prior, his interactions with Planet Dolan's DoopieDoOver concluded with Doopie blocking him and even his sockpuppet account—severing a potential sweetheart from Chris' perspective.

Later that same month, through both Chris' nature and the activity of the ween masses, Brony voice actor Nowacking blocked Chris on Twitter.[2] Taking a less radical approach than upcoming events, Chris became the spokesperson of a new hashtag campaign. He rallied his followers to block the trolls who peeved those who Chris followed. Realizing the futility of his campaign, he did what most people would have done in the first place and moved on.

BronyCon 2018 was a mostly positive experience for Chris. Despite a failed truce with Nowacking, BronyCon introduced Chris to the talents of artist Mad Munchkin and reviewer DRWolf, having attended their panels.

TF2 Analysis

Chris wants to insert his self-insert into TF2 Analysis (uploaded post-block).

TF2 Analysis is an online animated series, featuring an ensemble cast of Brony analysts — prolific members of the My Little Pony fan community who review episodes, merchandise, fan productions, etc.[3][4] A fan production crossover of My Little Pony and Valve's Team Fortress 2, the cast of TF2 Analysis includes a number of Brony celebrities such as ILoveKimPossibleAlot, as well as aforementioned artists from BronyCon 2018. A popular episode of this series is a 2014 short titled TF2: Analysis Anarchy.[3]

Chris following the Brony analysts

Chris discovered the series as early as September 2018.[5] As he became more invested in the series, he started to follow several of the cast members via Twitter — most notably, Munchkin and Wolf, fantasizing about being a part of their group.

In September 2018, Chris introduced a new OC, Gary Stu[6], intended as a counterpart to Munchkin's Mary Sue. Spurred on by the participation of Brony analysts, in early January 2019, Chris took part in the #BronyBabes campaign to improve his physical fitness.[7]

As part of his reaction to being shunned by the bronies, Chris retreated to his fantasyland, claiming on 26 January 2019 that in the sister dimension, he is friends with them and a part of the TF2 Analysis crew:

I have been the #TF2 #AnalysisAnarchy Red Spy since last November. My hubby, @MagiChan111448, talked with the real Dr. Wolf and Firebrand there and set it up. I NEEDED the Training, and the practice, teamwork and all has been very good and beneficial for me. I did make allies and friends with my teammates, the OCs, themselves. Another reason why I am clearing things up with their creators here: to keep it from getting awkward. This ol' soul and this body and mind can't handle the stress and anxiety as well as it used to. Though the strength has been in the soul moreover the body. But I digress.[8]

Blocks

For Chris, a productive day on Twitter involves seeking validation by responding to the posts of those he follows—his responses often an insight on his personal life. To those he follows, his comments are unflattering at best. To further exacerbate, constantly monitoring his activities are the hundreds of weens who seek to elicit a reaction from him. Their typical method is to warn users of Chris' previous exploits.[2]

Fed up with the excessive activity (originating from one single reply), the users will usually end this by blocking Chris' profile.[9] Being blocked by these people prevents him from viewing their posts, eliminating a source of (one-sided) interaction online that is not interaction with trolls. The blocks spanned across whole month of January, with Chris reaching breaking point, later that month:

Chris gets blocked
@CWCSonichu Don't ever contact my friends EVER again you monster. You're disgusting don't you dare try to play the victim. You're not a victim YOU ARE scum.
This tweet sent Chris off the rails[10]

Response to these blocks

Chris responds poorly to getting blocked by those he follows on Twitter and his responses often take the form of vocal outbursts against the trolls who he thinks got him banned. Chris has extended his apologies to those who have been affected by his outbursts on Twitter but he still holds resentment towards the trolls. Chris has stated that the mass blocking he has received from his favorite Twitter users has left him with PTSD related symptoms and has made it clear that this form of trolling has been particularly distressing to him.[11]

He has made several videos and a hand drawn comic on the subject.

As the game of Block the Autistic, America's favorite new sequel to its similarly named franchise hit, continued to rage across Twitter Chris began retreating into a state of denial once more about how much it was affecting him. Since he could no longer convince himself that all the various twitter accounts he followed had blocked their favorite autistic friend and CPU Goddess Miss Christine Weston Chandler by mistake, he began claiming that it must be a new trend[12].

Opting for an 'eye for an eye' approach, Chris sought to restart with a clean slate by blocking most of his Twitter followers. Realizing that sifting through tens of thousands of followers would be a colossal effort, Chris ceased after removing 5000+ followers. By 31 January, Chris' followers plummeted from approximately 31,500 to 26,000.[13]

List of people Chris has been blocked by

Subsequent events

On 9 February 2019, Chris opened a new Twitter account, @CPU_CWCSonichu, in order to evade blocks. He was eventually reblocked by the TF2 Analysis crew after weens tattled on him.

On 22 February, Chris said he'd had enough of the Twitter drama, tweeting:

I wish to go on record now that I am soo over the whole blocking mess. I have no concern over who blocked me, and those people can live their lives as they will. I am Through with them all.
