Naïve

“	oh, BTW, YOUR NASAL VOICE IS MORE GRATING THAN THE WORD "NAIVE", and METAL NAILS ON THE CHALKBOARD. But "Naive" is even WORSE than NAILS.	”
Chris to CChanSonichuCWC

“	I'm not saying I'm dumb...or naïve.	”
Chris, being ironic

“	I do not care much that you refer to me as "benevolent"; it sounds derogatory.	”
Chris, Mailbag 5

Naïve is one of Chris's most-used insults. According to Merriam-Webster's English dictionary, the word "naïve" means "deficient in worldly wisdom or informed judgment; especially: credulous"; Chris, however, defines it in his July 10th Messages as merely "questioning one's intelligence", showing that he only understands the most overly simplified definition of the word. He also refers to it as "the cruelest of words". He often pairs it with "retard", "slow in the mind", or one of his many other CWC-ism insults.

Chris has called others (largely trolls) "naïve" on many occasions. In a comment on one of CChanSonichuCWC's videos, Chris calls his voice "more grating than the word 'naïve'". Later in the same saga, he remarks that the name Ian Brandon Anderson sounds "about as bad as the word naïve to me now". It has never occurred to Chris that assuming that other people find the word "naïve" as offensive as he does is — well — naïve.In the 3:53 proportion of Alec Benson Leary Phone call 3 part 1, Alec notices that Chris uses the word "naïve" at him. Alec questions why is Chris using his most hateful word at his opponent. Chris's rebuttal statement contradicts himself, but Chris does agree with Alec that it's his least favorite word. Alec later ran Chris into a corner, and thus Chris changes the subject.

The origins of Chris's disdain for this word likely come from occasions when it has been used against him in attempts to give him constructive criticism, such as the Vivian Gee E-mails. He seems to have twisted its original, relatively polite meaning into the worst insult he can muster. When Kacey's father called him naïve, Chris became enraged, almost to the point of threatening physical violence. Kacey's father pressed Chris's very own berserk button, on accident. This gives us a greater idea on how Chris feels about this word from his point of view. The Father has said far more worse things at Chris to grind his gears. Through 1.2-1.5 sections in the transcripts, the father insults Chris's life, genes, beliefs, and his right to be with Kacey. If we skip down to say...1.17 , or 6:48-ish of part 11 of the call, Matt broke a blood vessel. In the next part of the call it's again stated that Chris's defines "naïve" similar to being retarded,stupid, and etc. What's lulzy, is that Kacey's Father insults his intelligent over a dozen times in the call. Based off that part of the call, it's likely that Chris holds naive on par with his other berserk buttons ( gays or an ass burger).

Ways Chris is Naive

• He believes that everyone shares his bad habits.
• He is under the impression that just because Asperger's is a different name than High Functioning Autism, it's a completely different syndrome, despite no proof of this belief.
