Retroactive continuity in Sonichu
The dimensional merge is upon us! It has been suggested that this article be merged with Continuity in the Sonichu comics. Discuss on the talk page. |
Chris, thinking himself to be clever and believing he can change things without other people noticing, has extensively retconned the Sonichu canon.
Background
In the case of names, Chris changed them on the advice of Shigeru Miyamoto and Jay Z who told Chris that they can't make a game with the names of real people. Despite finding out that they were trolls, Chris has kept the name changes "just in case" Nintendo or Sega decides to pick up the game.
Some changes are a result of troll attacks, others comes from Chris's homophobia and attempts to make himself appear as a tolerant and law abiding person. Black Sonichu became Blake after Chris was accused of being a racist. More notably, the iconic Sonichu Balls which play a major role in the latter comics have become Sonichu Crystals after "gay" "fans" and trolls pointed out that it's pretty gay for him to want to get as many BALLS as he can to FREE him. Likewise, the infamous "Rainbow Chris" image from Sub-Episode 2 was changed (bizarrely) to a background of the gates of Heaven when pointed out that rainbows are the international symbol of gay pride.
Another retcon, though more minor, is the updating of the Rosechus' "feminine physique". In several places, most notably in Sonichu 8, many of the female characters have had their breasts and vaginas more prominently outlined. This is probably a desperate attempt made by Chris to STAY STRAIGHT in the face of all those homosexual college professors using his Sonichu to support gay pride.
Chris has also altered the storyline in several places, such as the birth of Sonichu (explaining that they have aged in real time in the comics, due to complaints that 16 year old Sonichu was having sex with a 15 year old Rosechu) and later adding that Sonichu and Rosechu got married, which would have justified their sex in Sonichu 8 (though Chris still fails to account that Rosechu would have been 17 when the two would have been married, which would still be statutory rape under Virginia law). Pressed to make peace with Mary Lee Walsh, Chris on CWCipedia wrote a new story about how Slaweel and Mary Lee Walsh are two separate people, which defeats the purpose of needing a separate name for a separate Mary Lee Walsh. However, in the Videobooks, Chris accidentally used the name "Mary Lee Walsh" on several occasions before quickly correcting himself with "Slaweel Ryam".
Chris has also changed the ending to Sonichu 5, episode 13, where the original shows him and Megan hugging on page 50 followed by a disclaimer at the bottom of page 51 where Rosechu "sets the record straight" by making it clear that the hug "didn't happen for real". Likely due to Megan telling Chris to back off, page 50 was replaced with a closeup of Sailor Megtune's face where she whines about how bad she feels for Chris and Rosechu's speech was changed to simply a white box with the words "to be continued...". Interestingly, the version of the comics Chris has posted to CWCipedia reflects the original, with both the hug and Rosechu's disclaimer intact, whereas the videobook version of episode 13 is the alternate one, with the grotesque closeup of Sailor Megtune's face and the edited page 51. In MyBuzz quizzes, Chris flat out points out that there is a difference between the "director's cut" and the other version.
Aside from retconning his own work, Chris also frequently attempts to "improve" the work of others. This mostly manifests itself in renaming of characters: Megan's character Megagi was originally called "Spunky Skunk", Ivy's Layla Flaaffy was originally called "Luckett[e]", etc. In the CWC Personal Sonichu Presentation Chris takes things in another direction by trying to "fix" a fan's vastly superior artwork by redrawing it and making extremely minor changes. The most blatant moment, however, is in Sonichu 10, where Chris tries to rewrite the world of Asperchu to be substantially more one-dimensional and boring. This stems from his ludicrous belief that cartoon characters are real (as in, they literally exist on another plane of existence and the events in the comics have actual consequences) and he believes that he needs to "fix" his characters, lest the comics drawn by others somehow change them.
Chris has also attempted to retcon the actual events of his life, whenever convenient. While it's likely that many of the stories Chris tells of himself are fabrications or exaggerations, there is little evidence to support either theory. What can be proven, though, is Chris's alterations to his CWCipedia article for Simonla, which originally stated (correctly) that the character was a derivative of Evan's character, Simonchu. After Evan started to take legal action against Chris for his misappropriation of the character, Chris simply edited the page to claim otherwise. He claimed that, in fact, Simonla was not based on Simonchu, and their myriad of similarities was entirely coincidental. He had simply credited Evan for the character because he was confused.
In order to not appear as a Pedofork for drawing Rule 34 involving the Chaotic Combo and Silvana, Chris retconned the birthdates by stating that the eggs traveled in time to 1989.[1]
Chris has also attempted to retcon the name origin of Sonichu as seen in The Sonichu Chronicles, where he states that Sonichu's name is NOT a portmanteau of Sonic and Pikachu like it has been "rumored", but rather a play on Sonic's "Japanese" name "Soniku"[sic].
He would also go on to retcon [Simonla's] death via Facebook in 2014, despite the fact that he is no longer creates Sonichu Comics.

Apparently, the evil Mary Lee Walsh was Slaweel all along!
Not only does Chris's edit have the name stretch into the black section of the monitor, but he's also forgotten to change Hanna's name in another paragraph.

The infamous "Sailor Asscheeks"; Sonichu #5, page 50

Revised page 50.
Chris changes Megan to Meg-chan, but doesn't take the opportunity to correct "Dood" to "Good".
The infamous Oversized Drinking Straw of Fail as later appeared on the CWCipedia. It looks just as stupid, only slightly smaller. Somehow it looks even more like he's sucking a dick than before.
Rosechu, failing to look even remotely sexy with that retarded expression, gets edited out of a camera picture.
