Animate! Raleigh
Animate! Raleigh is a convention in Raleigh, North Carolina. Chris attended in January 2024 along with Flutter.
On 4 January, Chris and Flutter were seen in line purchasing tickets for the convention, in a nearby town Cary.[1] Since both of them were seen with VIP passes, which cost $275 each, it appears that Chris has spent at least $550 on the convention, assuming he paid for both his pass and Flutter's.
On 5 January, Chris was at the convention, where he cosplayed as Star Wars character Ahsoka Tano. Flutter was seen as well, with a face mask on. Observers noted that Chris had his arm around Flutter in a panel room, but that she wasn't seen to have reciprocated.[2] Chris attended a panel on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, where he asked a question during a Q&A to the panel.
On 6 January, Reddit user DeadStargazer claimed that a friend had witnessed Chris and Flutter being escorted out of the convention by staff.[3] DeadStargazer later provided an update claiming that Chris had been denied entry to the convention by security when he arrived in the morning, that there did not appear to be an incident, and that Chris may have been reported to staff the prior day.[4] Reddit user gjoob9091 posted a photo of Chris and Flutter near security, claiming it took place on the 6th at around 1:53 pm,[5] and posted another angle taken by the Reddit user's friend at 2 PM.[6] The Reddit user commented that Chris had entered the convention around 1:50 PM, and was immediately pulled aside by security.[7]

Transcript
Panel Moderator 1: Hi. What’s your name?
Chris: Hi. Christ-een. So my favorite episode of all time would have to be Video Ouija, but hey as opposed to what was portrayed in the show, the video games, one video game really, and the movies, how do y’all feel about the metaphysical and everything along that lines?
Dave Willis: The metaphysical?
Chris: Yeah.
MC Chris: What’s your spirituality?
Chris: All religions, I’m multi-religious, and I got the rainbow aura and everything.
Dave Willis: So the- so they’re-
Chris: It’s all good baby!
Dave Willis: Alright.
[The crowd laughs.]
Dave Willis: You know Christians are always known for their tolerance.
[The crowd laughs again.]
