*** Also, he immediately weaseled out of Simonla's death by introducing her nearly-identical daughter to the comic. Since that's just ''another'' gender-flipped version of Simonchu (who thanks to the additional spines, actually looks ''more'' like Simonchu than Simonla did), we can probably expect the site to get shut down again pretty soon.

* LackOfEmpathy: Chris is a terrifying combination of Autism, which makes it difficult for him to understand when and how to be empathetic, Narcissism which makes him incredibly self centered and a child-like naïvete which makes him simply unaware of what other people consider traumatic. When he ''comforts'' people he usually says "move on" or starts talking about how his dog died. To provide a particularly grisly example, [[http://www.cogsdev.org/cwcki/Twitter#02_March_2010 when he tweeted about his father's hospitalization]] as a result of congested heart failure, his main concern was apparently his own level of stress, thanks to only getting four hours of sleep. His [[{{Hatedom}} fanbase]] had to wait more than two months until Chris finally decided to [[http://www.cogsdev.org/cwcki/Some_Favored_Comedians briefly mention]] that his father recovered... even though in the meantime he posted a few tweets and blog entries, as well as several new videos, raging or ranting on various subjects mostly related to himself, but not even mentioning what was happening to his father. Bob is in his eighties and has had four heart attacks; his hospitalization isn't something that should be taken so lightly.

* LarynxDissonance: Mary Lee Walsh in ''Sonichu: The Animated Series''.

* TheLeisureSuitLarry: Chris has elements of this: He's been dedicated to his ''Love Quest'' for years now, but his methods have been [[{{Understatement}} modestly questionable]] (he used to loiter around shopping malls drawing comics and playing with his NintendoDS, hoping a Boyfriend-Free Girl would eventually notice him). In fact, the only reason the ''Sonichu'' comic exists in the first place is so that Chris would have at least one significant accomplishment with which to impress potential mates.

* LimitedWardrobe: Just like his comic character, he tends to wear the same style of shirts over and over again. A line in the comic about how he couldn't even imagine himself in the lead of a story he was reading unless he looked at himself in the mirror to remember his appearance seems to indicate why he wants his appearance to be as static as possible (and perhaps why he can't see himself as being overweight).

* LogicBomb: At one point during ''A Girl who Brought Down the World,'' the AuthorAvatar must stop Chris from having sex with her. She does this by telling him that he can have sex with her, but only if it's a threesome with another man. Cue Chris leaving the room in confusion.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Basically every single couple in the comic, while Chandler himself is a big proponent of this as well, falling in love with pretty much any female he has extended contact with, and on one occasion actually ''proposing'' to a woman he had never actually met. He seems to think he'll marry the first woman he has a successful date with.

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: On the silly end of the spectrum is Chris making videos for his girlfriend's pet hermit crabs and hopping around like the Easter bunny. On the scary end of the spectrum are videos like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBUzZowEt1E For My Sweetest Ivy]]. All for the same girl, incidentally, who made Chris ''particularly'' strange.

** One hilarious one that could have easily been averted was accusations that Rosechu was male because she lacks the shortened tail female Raichus have in the 4th Generation Pokemon games. How? By initially explaining how Rosechu was created prior to the 4th generation games. Instead, he edits a portion of his comic to show Rosechu having a blunted tail like 4th Generation female Raichus, and claims it's been this way the entire time. Even if he did edit the source as well, there's still countless things he's drawn with Rosechu that do not have a blunted tail. Because he follows this logic, trolls now acknowledge that Rosechu was always [[{{Transvestite}} male]].

Go! Sonichu! Go out and zap to the extreme!
Sonichu #0
Tell me about it on CWC. Geez, when you have me facepalming at you, you have got to be pretty bad off.
David Gonterman

There is Artemis' Lover. There is Agony In Pink. There is The Girl Who Lived. There is My Immortal. There is My Inner Life. Many demonstrations could be made for the ascendant terribleness of such works, putting them above all lesser bad fanworks.

But then, standing resplendent above them all, there is Sonichu.

Sonichu was a fan TRUE and ORIGINAL webcomic created by one Christian Weston Chandler, starring (at least initially) the eponymous Electric Hedgehog Pokémon and his friends. The comic itself would be remarkable only for how unbelievably bad it is, but it has in recent years gained notoriety due to the author's antics in response to trolling and other harassment. The result is a perversely-fascinating, deeply-dysfunctional, symbiotic relationship - Mr. Chandler's creation has been saved from the curse of obscurity at the price of a "fanbase" devoted to making his life a living hell.

Sonichu started as some sort of Pokémon/Sonic The Hedgehog crossover world, and the first few issues focus on Sonichu's origin, his meeting with his "heartsweet" Rosechu (based heavily on Amy Rose), and a supporting cast of other Hedgehog Pokémon of various types. But in issue #2 and from issues #4-7, the series crystallizes into its present form, as Christian himself takes center stage and encounters and battles his enemies in real life, from mall cops to the dean of his local community college to internet trolls. Needless to say, the supposed main plot, a search for the Sonichu Bal- sorry, Sonichu Crystals, in order to use their powers to free Christian's Distaff Counterpart and "dream sibling", Crystal, from a mirror the aforementioned dean have trapped her in, takes a backseat.

Due to criticism over such a self-centered plotline, Christian eventually gets trapped in a timestream, leaving Sonichu to take up his heroic mantle of defender of CWCville]. The war against Encyclopedia Dramatica and "Four-Cent Garbage" rages on, interrupted by the occasional furry sex scene, until issue #9 changes focus (again) to dating education (no, not sex education) and Christian's crude interpretation of how relationships work.

The last chapter of issue 9 depicts a lengthy battle against invading forces from the PVCC, and ends with Sonichu and friends beating them with as much resistance as a team of Mary Sues typically gets. Christian's Author Avatar is released from the timestream shortly afterwards, and this cues the beginning of Issue #10, which can best be described as a combination of undisguised Wish Fulfillment and Christian's attempt to get back at his internet antagonizers by turning both his avatar and Sonichu into bigger God Mode Sues than ever, via the Sonichu Crystals Balls, and depict them punishing in-comic representations of his enemies by either killing or injuring them, destroying their property or making them pray to him for forgiveness. As the story progresses, Christian's feud with his "enemies" from real life becomes increasingly more disturbing, and its culmination in issue #10 finale can be most charitably described as the ultimate proof that Christian is in dire need of psychiatric help. It's worth noting that in this issue Christian frequently derailed the plot so he could devote several pages to "punishing" comic books versions of people who "wronged" him most recently; by contrast, (supposedly) important plot threads (such as Crystal being trapped in Dark Mirror Hole, or Christian's feud with college dean) were resolved quickly and anticlimactically. This sequence of events create probably the most unplanned and, for newcomers, incomprehensible storyline so far in Sonichu. Christian (once again) promised that in the future issues he will give the spotlight to Sonichu and that his Author Avatar won't appear so often. However, he isn't famous for keeping his promises (having made this exact one before), so future issues can be expected to be similar storyline-wise to Sonichu 10, with new real life-based enemies introduced as more trolling undoubtedly will continue to rain down upon him. (That is, of course, assuming there will be new issues at all, which might not happen in the foreseeable future. Christian hasn't uploaded any new pages since February 2010 and is deeply offended even by mere suggestions that he should update his own webcomic. It seems that he decided to devote his time to more entertaining activities instead, such as masturbating, playing video games and whining about them on the internet, continuing his Quest For Sex on the internet, condemning internet and claiming that he is "active within his community".)

Since this comic blurs the line between fiction and reality so much, a deep understanding of Mr. Chandler's life and psyche is required to make any sense of it. The best source would be the CWCki, an entire wiki cataloging Mr. Chandler's life and works (warning: some pages and images are definitely Not Sage For Work or your mental health), while the even more NSFW Encyclopedia Dramatica page that started this whole mess can be found here. Mr. Chandler's own websites tend to be hacked and deleted with some degree of regularity. He used to have his own Sonichu wiki which could be found here; however, in response to trolls hacking and vandalizing his precious wiki (again), on 27 May 2010 he announced his decision to "relinquish what was the Cwcipedia" while "keeping ownership of what it was before yesterday". In response Vivian Gee and Alec Benson Leary took control of CWCipedia and claimed all rights to Sonichu; at the beginning of June 2010 the control of CWCipedia apparently was taken over by a mysterious individual who may or may not be the TRUE and HONEST CWC.* Well, actually it's definitely not CWC, but it's fun to pretend otherwise. And who knows, maybe it's a beginning of new saga...

Compare the Gonter Verse, Silent Hill, Hell. See also Asperchu and Moon-Pals, two much better series that you probably should be reading instead of this one, if you aren't already.

Please note that several links on this page are not work safe. Don't forget to keep the Brain Bleach close by should you decide to visit any of them, worksafe or otherwise.




But the Sonichu phenomenon cannot be contained by the comic itself. Because Christian Weston Chandler's life is inextricably intertwined with the stories he writes and his interactions with his "fanbase", just as many tropes can be applied to his not-so-private life as to his comic. Sonichu has also inspired a unique type of FanFic, the "trollfic" (not to be confused with a Troll Fic), a normal fanfic with the characters' moral alignments usually flipped. Meanwhile the blogcasts and chat channels the author uses to communicate with people can be more interesting than the actual comic, and offer profound insights into the mind of Mr. Chandler.
