| BILLY MAYS's reaction to learning of Chris's DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS, effectively summarizing Honest Content. | ||
Honest Content refers to the way Chris believes that, in order to be "honest," you must tactlessly give away far too much private and/or personal information about yourself.
While honesty may be the best policy, Chris has a poor grasp of what honesty is or when it's inappropriate to be "honest." Worse still, he seems to think the only way to attract a woman is to be unfailingly honest.
However, Chris will usually not be honest about things that actually warrant it, like he honestly didn't really go on a date with a girl named Chloe or that he was honestly fooled by trolls or how he honestly never went to Redmond. Likewise, according to Bob[1] Chris never tells him anything, suggesting that he's not honest with his own father.
Origin
The term "Honest Content" is derived from Chris's DVD which has a parental advisory for "Very Honest Content."
Likewise, it appears as a content descriptor in the ESRB rating for Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles. This fictional video game's Honest Content is apparently enough to earn it an M rating (for users 17 and older).
Honesty
Upon meeting you, Chris will be "honest" about his:
- Virginity
- Pink eye
- Fecal incontinence
- Love quest
- Autism
- Invented phobias
- Recycling
- Donald Duck impersonation
- Genealogy
- Masturbation
- Need to wear a bra
His honesty, however, isn't limited to the horrible, but also the inane. When mentioning his name-change, he always credits both God and The Bear. Similarly, when talking about Sonic being his childhood hero he always clarifies that his hero was originally The American Rabbit. Whether or not he thinks he'll hurt the Rabbit's feelings if he doesn't make that distinction is unknown, though judging by the... illuminating conversations Chris had with Alec it's entirely possible, since Chris believes that all fiction characters are "real" to some degree.
Despite being candid about just about every little personal aspect, including addresses and phone numbers, Chris will rage at you for "stealing" "private" information that he himself has disclosed.
True and Honest, Honest and True
"True and honest" (or "TRUE and HONEST" for added impact) is a common catchphrase among trolls, usually used to describe something that isn't the least bit honest or true. It became especially popular during the Liquid Chris saga, as Liquid insisted that he was the "TRUE and HONEST Christian Weston Chandler" in the face of the "impostor" Ian Brandon Anderson.
Chris did coin the phrase, though, even if it was his trolls that picked it up and ran with it, and he has used it on a few occasions.
- On the OFFICIAL Sonichu & Rosechu Blog, in an entry from 25 September 2008, Chris talked about his would-be sweetheart PandaHalo, saying, "I know she is True and Honest from her voice...SHE IS NOT A TROLL; SO DO NOT TELL ME OTHERWISE OR FRAME HER."
- In Mumble 9, Chris said of his gal-pals: "I was very happy that day when I felt such respect when I felt the true honest respect of them."
- In the extended version of CWC Update 29 July 2009, Chris says, "I am NOT a troll to any of the other True and Honest people out there."
- During one of his phone conversations with Liquid in August 2009, Chris declared, "I am the true, honest voice of reason here, I am being the- I am the true, honest one here."
- In a 24 August 2009 CWC Blog post, Chris wrote "I wish to make a few points of Honest Truth here," and mentioned "all Honest, True People."
- In For Chris, a video from the Liquid dispute dated 22 October 2009, Chris talked about his infamous honesty: "I like sharing my honest feelings with other people because they're good feelings, most of the time. And more importantly they are true and honest feelings. SO THERE."
- In the Kacey and Liquid Call, from November 2009, after being caught up in lie after lie after lie, a half-sobbing Chris said, "I have not been lying to anybody! I have been honest and true."
