Christine Weston Chandler, anteriormente Christian Weston Chandler (nacido: Christopher Weston Chandler; 24 de febrero 1982) es un caricaturista autista, enfermo mental,[7] misandrista y misógino de 42 años, que también es YouTuber, criminal, anterior virgin con rabia, autoproclamado deidad, y literalmente chingó su madre. Normalmente se refiere a él por su apodo Chris-Chan, sus iniciales CWC, o simplemente el nombre género neutral de Chris. Se asemeja un tanto a una caricatura de Benjamin Franklin que ha cobrado vida, y se le considera uno de los "lolcows" más conocidos y bien documentados en la cultura del internet – si no se ve entre las personas más documentadas de la historia.
Ciertas personas le consideran una celebridad, pero no ha vendido un álbum multi-platino, ni ha sido regalado con un premio Oscar. En lugar de eso, es el creador del infame cómic en línea Sonichu, que pretende relatar la historia de un pokemón erizo de tipo eléctrico Sonichu y su amante Rosechu, además de sus aventuras con el Combo Caótico. En la práctica, el cómic sirve para darle a Chris un camino para cumplir sus deseos propios, dejándole expresar su descontento con el hecho de que la facultad en su escuela profesional no reconocieron lo que él consideraba ser un desempeño ejemplar académico cuando se graduó, junto con sus frustraciones sobre siendo incapaz de encontrar una pareja romántica; asi que, el libro le permitió a reencauzar su ira hacia la gente que impedieron sus esfuerzos, poniéndolos en el papel de villanos y a si mismo como un héroe verdadero del modelo Campbell en su narrativa. Después de cumplir con su educación, Chris carecía de empleo por la mayoria de su vida como adulto, ganándose la vida por medio de beneficios sociales del gobierno y las donaciones de su Verdadera y Leal Hinchada.
A finales del año 2007, se convirtió en famoso del internet cuando se filtraron imágenes de él en una tienda de juegos de tablero a los foros de Something Awful. Tras su descubrimiento, se burlaron de Chris por su sentido de la moda poco común y su exceso de peso, y las imágenes de Chris se difundieron a lugares como 4chan y Encyclopedia Dramatica, y durante el proceso de su propagación, muchos trolls vieron su cómic por la primera vez, propulsándolo a la fama instante. La fascinación inicial se debía a su obra artística infantil, su distintivo medallón de Sonichu casero que llevaba en público, y su historia de merodear en ubicaciones públicas mientras literalmente teniendo el la mano un letrero implorando que las mujeres le hablasen. Su reacción frente a la burla resultó en un ciclo en el que Chris revelaba más información perturbante sobre si mismo y sus trolls esforzándose más y más para descubrir más de la historia sobre este individual extraño.. Así, la vida de Chris empezó a descontrolarse más con la llegada de "trolling" organizado, analisis psicológico de salón por parte de espectadores desconcertados, y unas payasadas bizarras de verdad de Chris que siguen hasta hoy en día, que influyeron el desarrollo del cómic cuando tuviese ganas de actualizarlo.
El periodo más notable de la actividad en línea de Chris tuvo lugar entre los años 2007 y 2010 – dicho periodo ha sido declarado la "Era Clásica" por los Cristorianos modernos – en el que Chris se veía repetidamente engañado por troles fingiendo ser novias potenciales, y atacaba a su archienemigo Clyde Cash, el líder del grupo más notable de troles durante la vida de Chris: The Miscreants. En dicha época, Chris fue engañado por un joven sádico de 13 años para meterle su medallón a su culo, experimentó el robo de su identidad por una persona mucho más talentosa que él, y padeció una parodia de Sonichu despiadada por un equipo de caricaturistas al propósito de tocarle los huevos, entre otras desventuras. Sin embargo, con el tiempo decidió cerrar la sesión en el internet a finales de este periodo, al parecer dándose cuenta de lo inútil de su lucha contra los "malditos troles sucios". A la hora de su inevitable vuelta al internet unos meses más tarde en 2011, él no era igual que antes. Chris empezó a experimentar con el travestismo, refiriéndose a si mismo como un "Tomgirl" (lo opuesto de una marimacha), antes de declararse transgénero a finales de 2014.
A partir de esos incidentes, la actividad en el internet de Chris se mantuvo relativamente normal (según sus estandares), a pesar de su cambio de identidad de género, la muerte de su padre (que llevó directamente a la disolución de los Miscreants), un caso de atropello con fuga, el accidente que causó un incendio que destruyó su casa, y un incidente en el que gaseó con Mace a un empleado de GameStop motivado por el color de los brazos de Sonic. Se cambiaron las cosas cuando surgieron dos nuevos grupos de troles – los Idea Guys y el Teen Troon Squad – quienes lo adoctrinaron con creencias más y más irreales (tales como la idea de que él y sus padres son medio-Sonichu o medio-Rosechu), y culminó con la revelación por parte de Chris de que él era una diosa destinada para traer la convergencia de las dimensiones entre el mundo de su cómic y el nuestro, efectivamente iniciando una secta apocalíptica centrado en lo que empezó con un tonto, autoindulgente mezcla de Sonic the Hedgehog y Pokémon. Después, Chris utilizó dicha creencia delusional como un intricado mechanismo para lidiar mientras seguía con sus hábitos autodestructivos.
A pesar de que dichos grupos de troles se vieron expulsado debido a los esfuerzos de los Guard Dogs, quienes intentaron mantener a Chris alejado del sendero de la ruinación (y para que no se hiciese el ridículo más), Chris se dedicó a seguir creyendo esas creencias insaludables y bien absurdas. Mientras tanto, su salud física y mental se marchitaban, y las finanzas se convirtieron en un asunto grave para la casa Chandler, además del problema de que a su madre no le restaba mucho tiempo con vida. Todos dichos problemas hicieron que Chris se andentraba más y más profundamente en el refugio de sus fantasias. Se empeoraron las cosas hasta el punto de que Chris fingía estar bajo la posesión espiritual de varios personajes de ficción con regularidad, incluso con un periodo de "posesión" por Sonichu que duró un año, sirviendo como una manera para lidiar con no poder asistir a dos convenciones de My Little Pony, canceladas a causa de la pandemia de COVID-19.
Se cruzó el punto de no retorno en 2021, después de que audio filtrado reveló que tuvo varios encuentros incestuosos con su madre, lo que causó el forzado desalojo de él de su casa y que le enviaron al cárcel, que fue el incidente más publicitado desde unos años. Durante ese tiempo, correspondencia desde el cárcel ilustró que se profundizaba en sus fantasias aún más, creyéndose ser la reincarnación de Jesús Cristo. Se transfirió a Chris al manicomio por tres meses antes de que volviese al cárcel, hasta salir del cárcel en Marzo de 2023. A partir de su liberación, se ha mantenido de perfil bajo, pero está fielmente aumentado su actividad en línea.
Nunca antes ha sido una figura del internet tal como Chris-Chan, gracias a las circunstancias únicas que formaron su comportamiento peculiar y posteriormente llevándose a su prominencia en línea, y es posible que nunca habrá otra persona tal como él – él es verdaderamente único en su especie. Es la misión dedicada de este mismo wiki registrar su vida en detalle absurdamente alto, y si quiere, lector, profundizar el agujero de conejo casi sin fondo con nosotros, debería empezar por leer esta página. Prepárese, ya que va a ser un viaje largo, y no hay fin en vista.
Resumen

PROTIP:
Después de identificarse públicamente como mujer trans desde a finales de 2014, la identidad de género de Chris ha sido cuestion de gran debate entre los Cristorianos y hay controversia dentro y fuera de la comunidad trans. Para mantener consistencia en cuanto a los expedientes que precedieron la transición, y para no causar confusión para nuestros lectores, el CWCki opta por utilizar los pronombres masculinos para describir a Chris, incluso en la época después de su transición. NOTA DEL TRADUCTOR: En cuanto a las cuotaciones, se ha traducido de acuerdo con el pronombre utilizado, o el pronombre que utilizaría el sujeto, durante el tiempo en qué lo dijo. Por ejemplo, cuando Chris refiere a si mismo después de identificarse como mujer, se traducirá con pronombres femininos. Lo igual si es de otra persona que utiliza pronombres femininos para referirse a Chris.
Que sea consciente de que no son todos que aceptan dicha estrategia, con ciertas personas optando por usar exclusivamente los pronombres femininos para referirse a Chris a partir de su transición, y otras personas optando por usar pronombres neutros, o los pronombres de acuerdo con la identidad de Chris expresada en el tiempo de que se habla. El nombre legal de Chris ahora es Christine, pero el apodo de Chris es género neutral, y puede abreviarse así cada uno de los nombres que ha usado Chris en su vida. Chris lo ha aceptado como apodo, a pesar de oponerse a ello anteriormente postransición. A raíz de esto, el CWCki normalmente utiliza este nomber cuando se discute Chris-Chan. En todo caso, Chris está legalmente registrado como mujer y ha empezado terapia de reemplazo hormonal, pero no se ha sometido a cirugia de reasignación sexual, y es probable que nunca lo hará debido a unos factores (entre otros, su estatus socioeconómico y historia criminal). |
| “ | Parece lo suficiente inteligente como para entender que no entiende, y eso es lo más duro de todo. | ” |
| Un estudiante anónimo de la Universidad de Virginia refleccionando sobre Chris .[8] | ||
Chris es un tímido, autístico, autodenominado mujer trans de tendencias hacia la delusión, quien ha sido permitido – por sus padres, Barbara Chandler y el difunto Bob Chandler – vivir eternamente como un niño, acumulando juguetes y videojuegos en un solo cuarto en la casa de sus padres. Aún en los cuarenta, Chris se queda tan cómodo en su existencia protegida que se niega a atenerse a las normas sociales. Ha regularmente mostrado dificultades en cuanto a demostrar comportamiento público aceptable, reconocer cuando tiene que usar el baño, y usar su tiempo para contribuir a la sociedad de manera significativa alguna. Aunque el sistema de educación pública forzó a Chris que encare la realidad, graduarse le ha dado la licencia de quedarse dentro y evitar desempeñando las actividades típicas civiles, optando por quedarse en casa y subsistir con los dólares de los contribuyentes. Debido a su abstinencia del mundo exterior, Chris no ha mantenido ningún empleo desde 2001 (aparte de comisiones y esquemas de pirámide), y no ha pasado más de unos meses de empleo continuo en toda su vida. Es poco probable que Chris vaya a conseguir otro trabajo, gracias a Patreon, sus beneficios sociales (el llamado "Tugboat", remolcador en español), el mendigar donaciones generosas, y el hecho de que ha dicho directamente que su autismo le prohibe conseguir un trabajo (a pesar de que haya muchos servicios sociales disponible para ayudar a gente con descapacidades para encontrar empleo). Chris ha tenido asombrosamente pocas relaciones significativas, aunque ha logrado cultivar amistades con gente cuyos intereses en la cultura nerd y LGBT coinciden con los suyos.[9]
Chris está totalmente obsesionado con su personaje original y el cómic asociado, al punto de que ha elaborado a mano varios medallones en forma de Sonichu. Entre Febrero de 2004 y Marzo de 2010, pocas eran las veces en que se vió o se tomó una foto de Chris sin que tuviese puesto uno de esos tótems, incluso en la foto de su licencia de conductor y durante la ceremonia de graduación de la escuela profesional ; se desapareció el medallón por un tanto, pero volvió en Septiembre de 2010. A la misma vez, estaba totalmente convencido de que todo el mundo quería aprender sobre Sonichu, y que la única razón por la cual Nintendo, Sega, y Sony no le han acercado con ofertas para hacer videojuegos oficiales de Sonichu es que o son negociadores duros, o que los troles trabajan para ellos, y arruinan la posibilidad de realizar un juego. Por un rato, Chris operaba una tienda de eBay donde elaboraba y vendía sus medallones de Sonichu, Rosechu, Blake, y incluso ofrecía opciones para hacer personajes personalizados. Se los vendían por $30 cada uno. Después de que salió levemente exitosa su tienda de eBay, se mudó a Etsy, pero su pereza se apoderó de él y perdió la tienda a partir de nueve meses de operación, debido a no cumplir órdenes.
Chris solía odiar a los hombres homosexuales, y lo comunicaba con tanta intensidad que los espectadores fácilmente sacaban la idea de que él simplemente tenía miedo de convertirse gay. No puede aguantar mirar al pene de otro hombre, y se fijaba la mirada en un un póster de Sailor Moon para mantenerse heterosexual.[10] Sus palabras no siempre coinciden con sus acciones; a lo largo de su historia temprana en el internet, aparentaba estar profundamente inseguro en relación a su género y sexualidad. Aun anteriormente a su transición, Chris ha tragado su propio semen, llevado un sostén, y solo refrenaba su tendencia a trasvestirse orgullosamente porque su madre de edad avanzada se oponía a ello intensamente. Aunque esos hechos no indican la homosexualidad sin duda, si cuestionan la validez del juicio de Chris con respecto a su propia orientación sexual. Sorprendentemente, sin embargo, su homofobia parecía tener poco base en sus creencias religiosas, como no se había dado cuenta del verso Levítico 18:22, que condena la homosexualidad, hasta oirlo en un episodio de Padre de Familia en 2009.[11] Su homofobia no se extendía a las lesbianas, quienes Chris considera excitante sexualmente. Con el tiempo, Chris abandonó su homofobia, pidiendo perdón en 2015 y apoya lo que llama el espectro de SLGBTQ. En 2018, Los Idea Guys adoctrinaron a Chris para que se identifiquese como bisexual, aunque es probable que esto igualmente fuese Chris conformándose con su sexualidad tanto como el resultado de manipulación.
Su vida de adulto se ha definido mayormente por su meta de hacer de Sonichu una franquicia exitosa para encontrar éxito financiero (o, al menos, controlar su deuda), su Búsqueda de Novia para obtener una "sin-novio, de 18-[su edad actual] años, cariñosa, no fumadora, no-alcoholica mujer blanca " para convertir en su "cariño desde cero," y, empezando en 2011, se enfocó en lo de su identidad como tomgirl y más tarde una mujer trans lesbiana. Luego, Chris desarrolló un complejo de Mesías, creyéndose ser la reincarnación de Jesus Cristo destinado a facilitar una Convergencia Dimensional entre la ficción y la realidad.
En breve, la historia de Chris parece una condenada a no tener un final feliz, con su vida sirviendo como advertencia sobre la época del Internet. Es un cuento de mala crianza de los hijos, el aislamiento social, la candidez, el narcisismo, la pereza, la hipocresía, desviación sexual, y lo más importante, un cuento sobre todo el mundo presenciando en tiempo real la lenta, dolorosa degradación de otro ser humano.
Pseudónimos
| “ | Llámame por el nombre que Dios y el oso me ha dado por toda mi vida. El nombre actual completo de Christian Weston Chandler, mi primer nombre siendo Christopher y mi apodo español siendo Ricardo. Pero, al fin y al cabo, que tan solo me llame Christian Weston Chandler. | ” |
| Chris demandando algo de su impostor, años antes de su cambio legal de nombre a "Christine." | ||
Christian Weston Chandler tiene una variedad de nombres que lo ha dado a si mismo. Nació con el nombre Christopher Weston Chandler, pero lo cambió a "Christian" según como le llamó el "operador del oso animatrónico en el centro comercial" que oyó mal su nombre, lo que interpretó como un señal de Dios. A mediados de la primera década de los 2000, Chris adoptó el apodo "Chris-Chan," un juego de palabras involucrando su apellido y el sufijo honorífico japonés -chan, que, según Wikipedia, "se usa para referirse a niños jóvenes, amigos íntimos, infantes, abuelos y, a veces, adolescentes femininas." Chris aprendió de este honorífico por medio de series de anime como Crayon Shin-chan y Super Milk Chan. El nombre "Chris-Chan" suele escribirse erróneamente sin el guion como "Chris Chan," como si Chris se hubiese llamado como Jackie Chan. Extrañamente, antes de su transición Chris refería a si mismo por su nombre entero, o si tenía ganas de aumentar la formalidad utilizaba "Christopher Christian Weston Chandler." Se siente peculiarmente orgulloso de sus inciales "CWC," y muchas veces las incorpora a sus obras y varios juegos de palabras centrado en la palabra "quick" ("rápido", irónicamente, ya que...bueno, no lo es). Ejemplos incluyen CWCville, A CWC Audition y CWC Dare.
Poco después de declararse una lesbiana transgénero, Chris empezó a introducirse como "Christine." En Mayo de 2016, él exitosamente entabló un cambio legal de nombre a "Christine Weston Chandler."[12] Luego entabló para cambiar el sexo indicado en su licencia de conducir para identificarle como mujer.[13] Ahora firma su nombre con corazonitos dibujados sobre la letra "i". Sus documentos legales se refieren a él como Christine Chandler,[14] menos las demandas cíviles, en las que no ha actualizado su información con el demandante.[15] Este wiki, sin embargo, lo llamamos Chris en el interés de consistencia.
En sus clases de español en la preparatoria su apodo era "Ricardo," y mucho tiempo después seguía traduciendo su nombre a "Ricardo Weston Chandler" cuando escribía o hablaba en español, más probable a raíz de no darse cuenta de que uno no normalmente cambia su nombre con otro totalmente distinto al hablar otro idioma. A veces, llegaba a tal punto que se proclamaba "Christopher Christian 'Ricardo' Chandler", o alguna variedad del mismo, para identificarse precisamente. Recientemente, Chris ha dejado de decir su segundo nombre, nombres anteriores, y su apodo español en sus videos; ahora solamente empieza con "Christine Chandler." (Chris nunca ha inventado una versión femenina del apodo "Ricardo", o cualquier nombre de carácter español para reemplazarlo.)
De vez en cuando, Chris utilizaba los nombres de sus personajes para referirse a sí mismo, más notablemente su gemelo maligno, Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc, y por supuesto, Sonichu. En los cómics, Chris tiene la habilidad para transformarse en un pokemón erizo eléctrico, llamado Chris-Chan Sonichu. Mientras Chris se volvía más inestable en 2017 y cayó bajo la influencia de los Idea Guys' en 2018, él se fusionaba aún más en sus invenciones fantásticas al punto de que añadió "Sonichu" al fin de su nombre (aunque no se reconoce como un cambio de nombre legal, a diferencia de los cambios a "Christian" o "Christine" en los años pasados), para reconciliarse con la creencia que es medio-Sonichu en la vida real, según muchas instancias de adoctrinamiento. Otros nombres que él usa actualmente incluyen CPU Blue Heart (CPU Corazón Azúl) y Night Star (Estrella Nocturna), sus personajes autoinserciones para las franquicias Hyperdimension Neptunia y My Little Pony, respectivamente. En las circunstancias en que quiere presentarse de manera particularmente ostentosa, puede que adjunte sus varios alter egos a su nombre, tal y como decía sus nombres anteriores en el pasado.
Muy pocos son los nombres que se usan para referirse a Chris que no eran invenciones suyas. Uno de los más notables es "Chrissy," popularizado por Arjen Van Dierten por casualidad irónica, mientras éste se burlaba de Chris mediante hacer femenino su nombre, que ahora parece haber pronosticado su interés en el travestismo y más tarde volverse trans. Ian Brandon Anderson, que se derivó del canal IBAChandler de Chris en YouTube , se popularizó por Liquid Chris, causándole a Chris mucha angustia. Menos notable, hay el apodo "Solid Chris," utilizado por unos para distinguir a Chris de Liquid según la tradiciòn de cierto serie de videojuegos. Ciertos "A-Logs"[16] se han referido a Chris como "el agente de sátan en la tierra." Usuarios de Kiwi Farms han creado el término "Chris Clásico" para referirse a Chris antes de que muriese Bob y/o antes la saga de Tomgirl, usando "Chris Moderno" para indicar el Chris de hoy y sus payasadas.

Christopher Weston Chandler nació el 24 de febrero de 1982 en el Hóstital de Martha Jefferson en Charlottesville, Virginia.[17] Sus padres, Robert y Bárbara, trabajaron como ingeniero para Western Electric (luego General Electric) y oficinista para Virginia Power, respectivamente. Aunque se desconoce mucho de sus primeros años, los papeles de autismo revelan que sus habilidades lingüisticas eran deficientes, lo que fue el primer señal de su autismo. A pesar de esto, Chris sostiene que dijo su primera palabra, "monkey" (mono), cuando apenas tenía seis semanas de vida,[18] y sigue orgulloso de esto aun en su madurez, no obstante cuan obviamente poco probable y físicamente imposible que sea cierto – los centros lingüísticos del cerebro humano literalmente no pueden procesar idioma a las seis semanas, tampoco pueden las cuerdas vocales infantiles realizar los sonidos necesarios.
Una niñera abusiva, quien estaba sola con Chris diaramente por años,[19] supuestamente encerró a Chris en su edad temprana en un cuarto con juguetes despues de apagar todas las luces, un evento que Chris caracteriza como muy traumático para él.[18] (Parece que Chris no se nota la ironía de que haya regularmente encerrado a si mismo en un cuarto, rodeado de juguetes, por mucho de su vida de adulto.) Anteriormente identificó al encierro este como la fuente de su autismo (lo cual es una ilusión por su parte, cuando se considera que el autismo es un trastorno genético no causado por trauma external). Entre los 1 y 7 años de edad, no habló Chris ni una vez, y tuvo que aprovecharse de terapia de habla en la universidad de James Madison, donde conoció a su primer amigo macho, Joshua Martinez. Recibió el diagnóstico del trastorno de espectro autista de alto funcionamiento, con el doctor pronosticando (al menos, según que dice Chris) que nunca asistía a la escuela secundaria, ni siquiera ser capaz de escribir su propio nombre.[20] No obstante, Chris logró cumplir con estas metas cognitivas en su tiempo.
During the 1980s, Christopher was playmates with Sarah Nicole Hammer, one of his first friends. In one of the anecdotes that he's written about her (which are few and far between), Chris indicated that Sarah once convinced him that Casper the Friendly Ghost lived in the crawlspace under her house. When he crawled in there to look, she locked him in[21] in a stunning display of their friendship, beginning Chris's lifelong career of getting trolled. Apparently, he doesn't hold any hard feelings over it (possibly just because she's a pretty girl – if a guy or an ugly girl did that to him, Chris would swear vengeance).
Chris spent the 1990-1991 school year in the fourth grade at Nathanael Greene Elementary School, until his parents pulled him out of classes over a mysterious dispute. Chris claims that he was forcefully restrained by the school's faculty, who recorded his screams,[22] and that he was made to sit on the lap of the principal, an experience that supposedly inspired his homophobia. Chris later proclaimed that the abuse from the staff was the most traumatic experience of his life. It's possible that Chris's opinions about these events are colored more by his parents' attitudes than his own memories. The issue went to court, with Greene County seeking to have Chris sent to a "special school," which Bob and Barbara likely interpreted to mean a nut-house. Chris was homeschooled through the 5th grade during these proceedings. While being homeschooled, the animatronic bear Leonard Bearstein misheard Christopher's first name and called him "Christian," which inexplicably convinced Christopher to later have his name legally changed. When his family exhausted all legal recourse, Chris and his father relocated to Richmond so that Chris could continue his education in a different school system, starting with the sixth grade at Providence Middle School.[18] He described his time there as pleasant, although he was often bullied by his classmates. His teacher, Virginia Jeanine Sanford, helped him to develop social skills and cope with bullying, and Chris later called her the most influential person in his life.
At age 11, Chris entered and won the Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes. On his 12th birthday, he enjoyed a $1,000 shopping spree as his prize. WVIR-TV's coverage of the event focused on Chris's autism, regarding the contest win as a worthy accomplishment due to his mental condition. Chris put footage from this newscast on YouTube long before he was known to the general public, and it remains the most solid evidence that he is not an elaborate troll. This incident is often cited as the beginning of Chris's tendency to use his autism as leverage for special treatment, as well as his fascination with toys and video games at the expense of more mature pursuits. It has also led Chris to constantly enter contests in hopes of winning big (or else becoming infuriated and belligerent to the winners when he loses).

Chris spent much of his time in high school playing video games at home, reading Goosebumps novels, and hanging out with his "gal pals" and "friend" at school (though as it turned out, many of these gal-pals were arranged friendships). It was at this time that he first put his "creative talents" to use, with the inventions of Bionic the Hedgehog and Sonichu, the latter of which was created for a class project simply because he couldn't use copyrighted characters.[23] (The irony that Chris's own solution to that problem was to merge two copyrighted characters into a new character is somehow still lost on him, even to this day.) After inventing his magnum opus with the character of Sonichu, Chris began to incorporate his original character into everything that he could, although his passion for his character wouldn't truly surface until college.
Chris claims to have been on the honor roll, and during this time acquired the true source of his powers, his Amnyfest Ring. Because the art award he wanted was given to someone else, Chris became despondent and stormed out crying during his high school graduation. He honestly thought he deserved the award more than anyone else because he worked on it "so hard" despite his autism, ignoring the likelihood that the artistic achievements of his peers were simply better. Another reason for his sorrow was his fear that he might soon have to grow up and start acting like an adult, a phase of his life that his parents had not properly prepared him for.[24] Evidently, this fear was unfounded.
Since leaving high school and the happiest years of his life, Chris has been unwilling and unable to progress in any other aspect of his life, and has unfortunately even regressed in several key areas as he has gotten older. He remains trapped in a childish, Year 2000 time-stasis, as he believes that whatever he was doing at the time was what helped him attract female companions. That his high school gal-pals have moved on and married real adult men with careers is of little consequence to him. Chris still pines for "better days" in spite of his current belief system hypothetically leaving him in a better place than he ever was in high school. As you might imagine, this is precisely because things didn't get much better for Chris after finishing school.

| Excerpts from Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE, recorded shortly before his discovery by the Internet. | ||
Chris's entry into Piedmont Virginia Community College probably eased his inability to cope with life after high school. He took courses in Computer Aided Drafting and Design and began spending more time on Sonichu, launching a newsletter and circulating it on the PVCC campus. Over time, he began losing touch with his gal-pals from high school, and he presumably found the junior college crowd less willing to humor him and his personal idiosyncrasies. By his own admission, his social life at PVCC was lacking when compared to his high school years.[25][26] Chris says he decided he needed a sweetheart in February 2003. Possibly driven by his discovery that his old friend Sarah Hammer had begun dating Wes Iseli, Chris started his Love Quest in earnest that summer. However, he quickly found that every girl he talked to had a boyfriend (or so they claimed). Chris soon became neurotic about the "Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor" and began concocting and employing various bizarre methods to attract women without actually having to approach or speak to them.
Chris's most celebrated technique involved sitting in one place (or pacing back and forth) for hours, holding a sign that read "I am a (variable age)-Year Old, Single Male, seeking an 18-(Chris's age then)-Year Old, Single Female Companion." Amazingly, this strategy accomplished nothing beyond getting him into trouble with various authority figures who believed that he was loitering and/or soliciting sex, which was legally true. Chris was particularly affected by a series of confrontations with the PVCC dean Mary Lee Walsh over his attraction techniques, resulting in an ongoing, completely one-sided blood feud involving magic curses and slander. After a series of confrontations featuring increasingly bizarre and threatening behavior on Chris's part, Walsh expelled him for one year in 2004. He eventually returned, however, obtaining an associate's degree in May 2006.
After college and completing his education, Chris promptly dropped out of society, devoting his life to finding a boyfriend-free girl, drawing Sonichu, mass debating, and using his welfare money to buy video games and sex toys. He would not make any serious attempts to seek out a career from graduation onward, in spite of attaining a degree that could probably net him a decent-paying (and relatively undemanding) career that would likely grant him more opportunities than sitting at home playing video games ever could.
In 2005, Chris met Megan Schroeder at a local game and card shop. A social outcast like himself, Megan proved unusual in that she was willing to talk to Chris for more than 5 minutes. The two quickly became close friends, although Megan claimed to have recently endured a bad break-up and refused to entertain Chris's obvious romantic interest. Chris, seemingly basing his stance on studying women in porn and anime, believed that the key to turning Megan's platonic feelings romantic was to make inappropriate advances toward her until she had to tell him to stop touching her (a habit that got so bad that Megan later equated it to sexual harassment).
In the summer of 2007, Chris put it all on the line by entering the PaRappa the Rapper Contest so that he could win prizes and a trip for two to Seattle, which formed the centerpiece of his plan to finally score with Megan. The contest ended in disaster for Chris, as he lost to the dreaded Adam Stackhouse and subsequently learned that Megan wouldn't have gone with him on the trip even if he had won.
It was during the Love Quest that Chris was inspired to launch Sonichu, a comic book series featuring his Electric Hedgehog Pokémon. Ostensibly, the comic was intended to focus on the life and times of Chris's unbelievably original character, but by halfway through the first issue, the focus of the story had become Chris and his myriad of romantic misadventures. Little would Chris know, however, that his life was about to permanently change as a result of writing and drawing his magnum opus.

| “ | You've wasted your life. You've wasted your life and you think you're good enough to date anyone, including me? I mean, you're frickin' weak-willed, you're not even good enough for society. You- I don't think you're ever gonna get anything, you can't fight for what you want... I'm gonna be happy and I'm gonna live my life and you know what, you're gonna be doing the same thing in five years. If you're not dead. | ” |
| Kacey, accurately predicting how stagnant Chris's life would be after breaking up with him. | ||
Chris's rare talent (and by talent we mean pathology) was discovered when someone posted an anonymous picture of Sonichu on 4chan. It only took a quick Google search of Chris's name to discover the picture's author. He was also discovered on 26 October 2007 by the website SomethingAwful, when a user derailed an unrelated conversation and wrote their personal account of Chris. A thread on Chris and Sonichu was created the next day.[27] Chris's miserable existence spilled over onto Encyclopedia Dramatica in November 2007. His life hasn't been the same since then, and shockingly enough, Chris himself shoulders some of the blame for why that is.
Upon learning of the "Chris-Chan" article on ED, Chris released a single YouTube video attempting to diplomatically convince the site to remove the page. Failing in this, he then spent the next several months vandalizing the article in the vain hope of overwhelming his enemies. This catastrophically backfired as Chris, in an attempt to prove himself as lurid as the trolls, revealed a great deal of embarrassing information, most notably a portrait of himself finger-banging Megan that ruined his most important relationship at the time, giving the trolls justification to continue their war against Chris in the process. By the spring of 2008, Chris would be banned from both his favorite hangout (temporarily, but he was banned permanently in August 2008) and his parents' church for reasons at least partially related to information brought to light by the ED article.
In August 2008, Chris declared war upon Encyclopedia Dramatica in a series of videos, threatening to withhold publication of the upcoming Sonichu #7 unless his vast True and Loyal Fanbase rallied to force ED to remove the "Chris-Chan" article. When ED suffered outages unrelated to this crusade, Chris took credit and declared victory, ironically guaranteeing that he would be under constant fire from trolls for years to come. This began an endless cycle in which Chris would produce videos, comics, and harebrained schemes to attack the trolls, which would, in turn, encourage more and more trolls to provoke him for his hilarious responses where he would reveal more information about himself.
The cycle was briefly disrupted in the fall of 2008 when Chris sent his various medallions to his fake Internet girlfriend, who immediately destroyed them and broke up with him. This emotional heartbreak and the release of LittleBigPlanet reduced Chris's output of videos and other sources of lulz. At the same time, Encyclopedia Dramatica began cracking down on trolls using Chris's ED page as a forum for discussing him, and in general, opinion was divided as to whether it was funny or obnoxious and tiring to continue harassing him. The resulting schism led to the creation of numerous websites (such as this one singularly devoted to documenting his life), which has only expanded the coverage of Chris's hijinks.
By late 2008, trolls controlled many aspects of Chris's life by posing as dedicated fans, sweethearts, cartoonish enemies, and prospective business partners. Chris's ego and naïvete readily embraced this brave new world in which every woman wanted to fuck him, every man was either trying to help him sell Sonichu products or steal the franchise for their own nefarious goals, and that any and all trolls were a vocal minority on his way to fame and fortune. Trolls would begin denoting major events in Chris's life as "sagas" such as the Miyamoto Saga, the Julie Saga, the Ivy Saga, the Liquid Saga, and the Asperchu Saga. All the while, the editors and administrators working at Encyclopedia Dramatica and the CWCki maintained a constant record of these events, ensuring that Chris could not get away with his highly selective and revisionary treatment of his history.
Following his disastrous failure to woo a real girl in March 2010, Chris began to realize what anyone else would have figured out a long time ago: that his Internet presence and the toxic cycle of exposing something about himself, getting exploited or otherwise made fun of by trolls, and reacting poorly to said trolling was having a detrimental effect upon his mental health and social life, with every new video that he created exacerbating the problem. This realization appears to have led him to reduce his online presence and to stop donning Sonichu medallions and clown shirts. For a time, it looked like Chris was learning from his experiences and was making an effort to improve his own lot in life.
In November 2010, around the same time another romantic saga involving another sweetheart ended in failure, Chris announced he will no longer socialize online or publish videos of himself. Subsequently, all videos save for the last one were removed from his YouTube channel. It initially appeared that Chris was making a positive lifestyle change, but alas, it was quickly discovered that his Internet activity had not completely ceased since he announced retirement from social media. Instead of investing his time into more productive activities or improving on his social skills, Chris spent much more time playing video games and otherwise doing what he had been doing when he did engage with trolls. In a predictable fashion, he ultimately forgot anything that he might have learned from his experiences of being one of the Internet's biggest punching bags, and he subsequently returned to making new videos starting on August 2011... Albeit with a pretty big change in how he presented himself online.
Crossdresser Era
| “ | I Seriously Have Been PUBLICALY INVISIBLE for YEARS! The DAMN Trolling-Stupids have manipulated me; smeared my once good name through the worst mud, muck, and bodily fluids; mentally and emotionally raped me continuously; made the worst imaginable reputation of me on the Internet, AND relayed THAT into OFFLINE LIFE in gossip, rumors, and presidentially grand Fucked-Up Campaigns!!! | ” |
| Chris vents on Facebook after years of trolling take their toll. | ||
Perhaps the most dramatic change in Chris's life was his open and enthusiastic embrace of crossdressing and femininity in general. In 2011, Chris was revealed to have become a full-blown crossdresser (or "tomgirl," as he calls it) and fully embraced his new identity both at home and in public. Chris seemed to have reconciled this behavior with his extreme homophobia, transphobia, and purported heterosexuality without any difficulty. Though treated as yet another saga at first, this behavior seems to be deeply entrenched and became more extreme in late 2014 and the years that followed. As mentioned previously, Chris would slowly but surely walk back his anti-LGBT stances.
In September 2011, Chris's father died of heart failure. Chris continues to live with his widowed mother, who along with the tugboat is his only source of income. Since his mother is in her 80s, it can be reasonably assumed that she has little time left on this earth, especially when her poor health and declining mentality are considered.
After Bob's death, Chris generally ceased interacting with trolls, seemingly no longer able to effortlessly bounce back from despair like he used to. Instead, Chris lapsed into a deep depression, no doubt exacerbated by the later loss of his home to fire, and subsequent financial difficulties. In the aftermath of the family tragedy, many trolls began to question whether Chris deserved or indeed, could cope with any further trolling, given that he was no longer the bellicose, striped-shirted egocentric man-child that the world had come to know and love. For many, it became apparent that Chris's glory days of screaming into a camera like a madman and performing like a circus animal for trolls offering china were over, and several moved on. The Golden Age of Chris-Chan was over.
Nonetheless, the surviving Chandlers still managed to be drama magnets in their own neighborhood. In October 2011, Chris and Barb were arrested at The GAMe PLACe and charged on several counts including trespassing, assault, and failure to stop at an accident causing over $1,000 in damage after an altercation with Michael Snyder. (Chris had presumed that the store's new management meant that Snyder may no longer work there, thus giving Chris a chance to potentially revisit his old haunt. When this proved to not be the case, the both Chandlers hit Snyder with a car.) The trespassing and assault charges against Chris were dropped, but both still faced felony trials for the failure to stop, and Barb for assaulting a police officer. Much of the money that Bob left behind was used to pay for legal expenses.
While awaiting trial, Chris was worried that he may die a virgin if he were to go to prison, and so looked for ways to have at least one sexual encounter before a worst-case scenario could come to pass. April 2012, Chris declared that he finally lost his virginity. This was later confirmed to be true... at the hands of a prostitute. Chris reneged on the "true love" part of his Love Quest and skipped straight to the point, which seemed to satisfy him in the short run but otherwise wasn't a life-changing experience for him. 2012 was otherwise uneventful, probably because Chris was in trouble with the law and spent less time online than usual.
2013 saw Chris's online presence more or less confined to ranting on Facebook and Twitter, as well as making himself a pariah to people in real life through his actions. He began blaming people to their face for his own shortcomings which resulted in him leaving his church, getting chewed out by a voice actress from one of his favorite shows, upsetting the few friends he had left with his homophobia and getting thrown out of a Walmart for committing blatant vandalism. He has also complained about the "stress" taking its toll on his health (this, at least, is evident) and pined incessantly about being "lonely." Even the "gal-pals" Chris so fondly talked about in his high school days would end up betraying him – he found out around Halloween 2013 that they had only tolerated him out of pity and, having discovered his antics, were just as revolted by them as the next sane person. Of course, the miseries Chris was lamenting at this time were almost entirely products of his own behavior coming back to haunt him, something he clearly did not realize.
The year 2013 also saw the rise of quite a few new white knights as well (including actual friends he met in real life) all of whom tried to offer constructive advice to Chris, although their advice was unwelcome information and thus totally ignored, as tradition dictates. This year of Chris's life seemed to have been most characterized by his flagrant disrespect of people, things and ideas around him, resulting in his exile and loneliness which he idiotically (but predictably) did not connect with his appalling behavior.
At first, it seemed that 2014 would just be business as usual. That is, until January 10th when an extension cord leading from the bathroom to a coffee maker in the hallway – which was placed in such a location due to the nature of Barb's compulsive hoarding habits, and had become frayed due to the constant closing of the door – sparked and set the house on fire.[28] While no human was seriously harmed, one of the Chandler cats died in the fire. The resulting damages forced Chris and his mother to temporarily move out and trash a different house. Some of the Chandler possessions were destroyed in the fire, including most of Bob's huge record collection.
Chris and his mother ran into acute financial difficulties as a result of the house fire on top of their existing income issues, and Chris had spent most of the year alternating between begging for money and taking commissions to make more of his artwork on Facebook, and selling autographed photos of himself on eBay (with it being pretty clear who most of his patrons were). Despite the severity of the Chandler family's financial issues, Chris chose to blow literally thousands of dollars on children's toys instead of working to resolve his debts. Naturally, his "art" and photographs are only really of any value to fans, who purchased these items as a means to keep a roof over Chris's head.
In July, Chris was catfished once more by a new sweetheart named Catherine after meeting her through OKCupid. She met up with him in Ruckersville and surreptitiously recorded his conversations. The relationship lasted through the end of the year, and through this process, it was learned that Chris pierced his taint, with other media tied to Chris's life leaking as Catherine and cooperating trolls uncovered more details about his then-current life and mindset.
Chris began identifying as a lesbian in August 2014, and denied that there is no such thing as a male lesbian (citing Yahoo! Answers as proof). While he seemed to soften his stance on gay men (very reluctantly), he also indicated that he hated his own genitalia, in addition to his pre-existing hatred of pickles in general. Chris also took up attending LGBTQ events around Charlottesville, including attending a Halloween party at a gay bar dressed as a lesbian from the 70s. At such events, he obviously mingled with people infinitely more accepting and kind than himself. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Chris would make a more serious commitment to his lifestyle change when he officially began to transition.
Transgender Era
| “ | The future shock... Me? Actually a woman? It is a lot to process. But as I recall my past, I remember in high school, my habits and nature were recognized as most feminine. And in comparing it to my experiences with the masculine, I find I actually don't like such brutish things. And looking deep in my heart and soul, I actually find I feel more woman than the male I was born as. And the more I open myself to that plausible... I truly feel more at peace with myself. I love me. I am woman! Roar! | ” |
| Chris's fictionalized counterpart explaining his philosophy before becoming transgender in Sonichu #11. | ||
In early December 2014, Chris informed those closest to him to start referring him with female pronouns, indicating his desire to go from being a crossdresser to becoming transgender. This era started with a bang when, in December, Chris violated a ban and assaulted an employee in an outing to GameStop on Boxing Day. He assaulted the store's Assistant Manager, who was calling security, with mace; showing that, again, Chris has yet to learn anything from his mistakes, if he even regards them as mistakes to begin with. On top of this, Chris subsequently caused another ruckus at Walmart, just in case you started feeling bad for him after being duped by yet another fake girlfriend. Chris ultimately spent a night in the slammer, and following a lengthy legal process, got off with a $541 fine and a six-month suspended sentence.
More generally, 2015 saw Chris slowly shy away from his traditional bigotry towards men and homosexuals (while still keeping up his ludicrous crusade against Sega over the color scheme of a certain cartoon hedgehog and dramatizing his experience with trolls), and finally develop enough self-awareness to try and know himself. He indicated in several Facebook posts that he was still trying to gauge his own sexuality and sexual identity; for some time, he yo-yoed between wanting to remain a crossdresser and wanting to transition into womanhood.
Chris performed the sequels to some of his greatest hits in 2016:
| Original | Sequel |
| Recycling | Chris's Specimen Sample |
| For Julie's Eyes Only | Lesbian Sex Audition |
| Carlos Chantor | Stephanie Bustcakes |
| Un-clit | Self-inflicted taint wound |
In addition, Barb was sued by two banks, due to failure to pay over $20,000 of debt, kicking off the Financhu Crisis, in which she and Chris both begged for money like jackasses, while their hoards of things that they could sell were clearly visible behind them. The Business saga was suspended when Chris was banned from Etsy for failing to send orders. He continued to duck responsibility for his inability to put down the PS4 controller long enough to slap together his preschool-level arts and crafts, choosing to blame Lulu for being "the bugger that bit my ass bad and killed my creative groove."
His Oedipal complex veered into disturbing new levels when he freely announced that he dreams about having sex with his mother. He also made multiple death threats against political figures Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
In 2017, the Financhu Crisis continued to stress the Chandlers. Chris offered pieces of his late father's stamp collection, the Sonic Totem and The Classic for sale in order to afford more toys, a $400 gold necklace for Barb, and the extremely costly expenses for his raffle prizes. He and Barb also continued begging. One of his friends from The End Games Pokémon Club grew concerned and gave him solid advice on how to apply for work through Virginia's DARS program – and in true Chris fashion, instead of following it, he went on an angry tirade. Later in the year, he was sued for failure to pay a debt to Mariner Finance.
Chris rediscovered Twitter in March. His frequent tweets to voice actresses lead to the Doopie saga – in which he was chastised for calling her darling, but doubled down on it and was subsequently blocked by her – and getting blocked by My Little Pony voice actress Tabitha St. Germain due to her getting constantly tagged by Chris and the weens orbiting him. He created sockpuppet accounts NightStar2891 to plead his case and TwiSparLicious to ban-evade, which failed.
He briefly joined the Kiwi Farms forum under the name LegendaryChristorian and held a Q&A session.
A high point for his social life was attending BronyCon, at which he enjoyed attention from fans. He also attended LGBT events such as UVA Remembers Pulse (where he was interviewed on TV), Cville Pride (where he was photographed by news in crowd shots), and Love is Love.
Chris resumed the Business saga halfway through the year by going back to work on the Sonichu #11 comic he had abandoned in 2015, by placing pages behind Patreon. He also again offered books for sale, self-published by Lulu, was paid to be interviewed by Merryweathery and CopperCab, and joined Redbubble. After eight years, he finally completed #11, and moved onto #12, which he completed after a few months. He began work on Sonichu #12-9 and Sonichu #15, but got distracted. His Patreon efforts also began to languish around October, when patrons complained that he hadn't been sending out books.
Another sweetheart saga took place in the fall. Jessica Quinn, a long-time white knight, suddenly turned troll by pretending she had fallen in love with him. She broke up with him twice, the first time he cried on camera for her to take him back, and the final time, he raged on video against the trolls he thought were to blame. He recovered quickly after drowning his sorrows at an ice cream shop.
Goddess Era
| “ | I, Sonichu, have tried and kept on and continuing on until that day in the new Pandemic-Free version of this, the Omega Timeline – 'cause I'm going back in time with this body, after I get back to C-197 – finally return this body to mama in the new timeline at BABSCon. I tell you all, as overpowered a soul I am – in my own body that I was used to and accustomed with and everything – I, Sonichu, am unable to do Mama's job as good as only she, our OG Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu, of Earths 1218 and C-197, can do. This work, her body, her brain, her Goddess-level overpowers and abilities; they're all literally tailored and custom-made only for her... All praise, prayers, and power to our Goddess of 1218 and C-197: Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu! | ” |
| Chris, pretending to be Sonichu, completely going off of the deep end while talking about the Dimensional Merge. | ||
After having his heart shattered yet again, Chris began to be influenced by another troll, the Idea Guy, who role-played as his imaginary friends and convinced him that he was providing information from CWCville's dimension, which Chris accepted out of having his fantasy world validated; along the way, another Idea Guy joined with the first. Together, they used their influence over Chris's beliefs to brainwash Chris into believing several things about himself, such as the idea that he was bisexual and half-Sonichu, which ultimately culminated in Chris developing a Messiah complex derived from his own delusions about the nature of reality and the lore of Hyperdimension Neptunia.
When it was learned that the Idea Guys were extorting Chris, who was already facing financial difficulties, The Captain and Marvin intervened, forcing the Idea Guys out from Chris's life over the course of the subsequent months, however Chris retained much of the Idea Guys' brainwashing. The Captain, Marvin, and Null – a group called the Guard Dogs by onlookers from Kiwi Farms – attempted to protect Chris from further bad actors by screening his messages, however, the Teen Troon Squad managed to evade them by meeting with Chris in person. The Guard Dogs alleged them to have role-played as Chris's imaginary friend Magi-Chan and Chris's retreated more into his fantasy world while under their enabling influence, although they stopped contacting Chris when they saw what happened to the Idea Guys.
Chris repeatedly denounced the Idea Guys for financially exploiting him, but the damage was done to his psyche: Chris bought into the fantasy that he was a goddess as a new coping mechanism, and his already-shaky grasp on reality hit rock bottom. Chris's new beliefs led him to seek a hippie makeover befitting of his supposed psychic prowess, and he retreated further into his fantasies, generally refusing to engage with people who wouldn't entertain them. Chris eventually turned on Null, thanks to the influence of other trolls – chief among them, Jacob Sockness, who sought to sexually exploit Chris. The Guard Dogs realized that there was nothing that they could do for a Chris who refused to listen, and disbanded, but a new group, known as the Watchmen (who enabled some of Chris's fantasies out of pragmatism), sought to keep Chris from further embarrassing or endangering himself, successfully getting him away from Sockness before he could do any harm to Chris.
Throughout all of this, Chris's belief in the Dimensional Merge has not wavered. When it didn't arrive on the prophesied date of November 18, 2018, Chris did what all doomsday cultists and religious fundamentalists do whenever the apocalypse doesn't happen: he pushed it back again and again. Not helping matters was the advent of COVID-19, which Chris saw as a sign of the Dimensional Merge's progress alongside all the other insane crap that happened in the year 2020. For Chris, things really took a turn for the worse when BABSCon got canceled, and he began an elaborate coping scheme to live-action roleplay as Sonichu until he could attend My Little Pony conventions again. Chris spent nearly eleven months pretending to be his original character, with very few interruptions, before eventually reverting to being himself again on 25 February 2021, thanks to the intervention of an enabler, to personally oppose news about the My Little Pony G5 reboot.
During this time, Chris's appearance visibly aged significantly, with his hair turning grey. He's also seemingly lost a bit of weight, not due to improving his diet and leading a less sedentary lifestyle, but due to a decline in muscular mass. This is likely a result of the effects of the hormones that he has applied to treat his gender dysphoria, alongside his declining physical health due to his various poor life decisions. In addition to his existing health problems, he's also taken up drinking to excess and even smoking weed on occasion, which both do his so-called "overpowered" goddess body absolutely no favors. Compared to Megan Schroeder, who is four years younger than he is and currently looks pretty close to how she did in photographs with Chris about thirteen years ago, Chris now looks like he could pass for her aunt or uncle. Chris also continued to be influenced by enablers such as Larry Vaughn, KwaiiSandbag, and Praetor, the last of which is a group that seeks to exploit his infamy for sales revenue. The Watchmen, an enabler/white knight group, splintered following internal conflict among its members.[29]
Downfall Era
- Main articles: 2021, 2022, 2023, Affair with Mother, and Jail Saga
| “ | So there you go, chat: the Dimensional Merge is happening right fucking now! Chris, our boy Chris, bravo! Bravo, brave young man! I guess you could say, uh, that he really, really came into his own. And in case it's not already fucking obvious, Chris is going to jail. So we'll see how that works out. Best of luck Chris! Don't drop the soap, buddy. The world you lived in was just a fantasyland, but reality... Reality is a motherfucker. | ” |

After nearly a decade of a slow downward spiral in nearly all aspects of Chris's life following Bob's death, his future did not look particularly bright. By 2021, Chris had largely reduced his online activities to posting long Twitter threads of faux-philosophical ramblings reflecting his New Age Retro Hippie mindset, which bordered on being incomprehensible or esoteric. At the same time, the Chandler family's debt steadily rose, largely due to Barb and her son's poor spending habits. For a while it was speculated that, in the extremely likely event that Chris outlived Barb, the situation would get worse for Chris with nobody to ground him in reality, along with the increased possibility that he could become homeless if he were to be evicted. Not to mention that Chris was virtually unemployable in any career after years of having every detail about his past leak out to the Internet, and he hadn't made a real effort to get a job since his attempt to win Kacey's heart, after his short-lived stints working at fast food joints or in multi-level marketing.
However, there was fleetingly a period in which there was a greater degree of hope for Chris. Chris successfully reconciled with Null, who eventually helped organize a trip for Chris so that he could attend Everfree Northwest, a My Little Pony convention, on the condition that Chris would complete commission work in exchange for his donations. Null believed this was a worthy effort to see if he could sustain himself as an adult through self-employment, particularly ahead of Barb's death. Chris actually kept up with these obligations, doing a considerable amount of work compared to previous months of less output, while appearing to get a good degree of satisfaction out of his work, on top of making it a semi-stable career out of it. All seemed relatively normal for Chris as far as the post-Idea Guys status quo went, and some fans anticipated the possibility that Chris, now upset about MLP G5, would do something amusing at the convention as he prepared for the trip, just like old times. Chris also informed Null, Don Lashomb, The WCT, several members of The Knights of CWC, and Isabella Loretta Janke that he was having a romantic relationship with an older woman, giving all of them various hints to her identity.
What happened next turned everything completely on its head. Chris would not, in fact, be going to Everfree Northwest. He would not be going to any future convention, for that matter, as the point of no return was finally passed after years of online infamy.
On the night of 27 July 2021, Chris initiated a video call with Bella. He bragged to her about sexual acts that he committed with his own mother – a felony – over the course of several weeks. Bella partially recorded the call when Chris began speaking of those actions. He also texted her with more details. Bella shared the files with her friends, and those circulated and were publicly leaked on 30 July.
While trolls joked about Chris potentially committing incest before, few actually believed that he was capable of acting on those impulses and taking advantage of an elderly (and possibly senile) woman. Once these details got out, nothing would ever be the same: he and Barb were separated by the authorities, he had to vacate his only home due to a week-long protective order, he was very quickly banned from the convention that he'd hoped to attend, and his Patreon account – one of his few real sources of income – was taken down. Null quickly washed his hands of Chris for good, not only after learning that the audio leak was legitimate, but also when he realized that Chris effectively stole approximately $750 from Barb to fund his stay at a hotel.
Chris was arrested on 1 August 2021, an event which was live-streamed by multiple orbiters. The incest revelation and the ensuing drama resulted in several people associated with Chris cutting ties with him – such as Don Lashomb, The WCT, and Fiona. Other people continue to interact with Chris such as Kenneth Engelhardt, Caden Peck, Helena Fiorenza, and Eels and the Eggman. Chris's actions during this time trended on social media, leading less Internet-savvy netizens to either discover Chris for the first time or to rediscover him after years of fading into obscurity. The massive social media reaction to the news led to Chris's actions being covered by various news outlets – most notably, a dedicated segment on Fox News's Tucker Carlson Tonight, the most popular show on the network at the time, which in turn exposed him to millions of retired, right-wing baby boomers.
Chris spent the next several months in Central Virginia Regional Jail after being arrested by the Henrico County sheriff's department, awaiting a court hearing set for 28 July 2022, following three continuances. While waiting in jail, Chris's delusions of godhood spiraled out of control as he began believing himself to be Jesus of Nazareth reincarnated and the Dimensional Merge to be proceeding entirely as planned. During this time, Chris kept in touch with the outside world via a multitude of Jail Communications discussing a variety of subjects, from his jail conditions to his renewed interest in the Bible and ween attempts to convert him to Islam through reading the Qur'an. These letters and phone calls also revealed that Chris had been kept in protective custody for his own safety.
Early into March 2022, it was learned that Chris was transferred out of jail into the Western State Hospital mental institution. During this time, Chris was isolated from the outside world; what he was up to while there will most likely remain unknown. He returned to CVRJ on 3 May 2022, with a new mugshot taken upon his arrival, showing that Chris appeared much more gaunt than before and had lost a substantial amount of weight. Unfortunately, subsequent mail correspondence indicated that his time away from jail had not caused him to face reality, as he opted to double down on his fantasies.
On 28 July 2022, only a day before the first anniversary of the leaking of the infamous incest call, Chris finally had his court hearing after three delays. In the process, it was determined that the case would be going before a grand jury for at least one felony incest charge. However, Chris's lawyer filed a motion for autism disorder deferred deposition. Following months of excessive online interest in the case, Chris's lawyer eventually managed to convince the court to seal the case on 11 August 2022, with "waive right to indictment" and "transportation order" added to his case file. The exact meaning of these legal maneuvers remains unknown.
Second Coming Era
- Main articles: 2023, Post-jail sightings (2023), and Second Coming
| “ | BEWARE ALL TOXIC HATERS, SINNERS, AND DARKEST DEMONICS, FOR I AM Jesus Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu, the Goddess Blue Heart, and your lord and god. AND I BRING, PERSONALLY, THE SECOND COMING. | ” |
| From "Holy Jesus Christ Chan Sonichu Prime", posted on DeviantART in August 2023. | ||
The Jail Saga seemed to fit very nicely as the culmination to Chris's story before he faded into obscurity, conveniently coinciding with Chris's foreshadowing that his entire timeline would be thrown in chaos, and bookending his story with a period where he had to sit alone in a dark room all day – this time behind a cell instead of a room full of toys. Surely after 14 years of lolcow adventures, Chris spending much of the rest of his life incarcerated was a fitting end. In the event that he got released, he would find his life absolutely ruined, with him destined to remain off the Internet forever, perhaps even homeless, until the day he dies.
Though every good story needs a sequel, right?
After spending around two years in jail, the Internet was shocked when it was announced that Chris was suddenly released on 27 March 2023. VineLink initially reported that he was bonded out[31] before updating their files to say he was released by court order.[32] Chris was able to avoid another round of Kick the Autistic thanks to his lawyer David Heilberg successfully filing for a motion for an autism disorder deferred disposition, leading Chris to live up to his Teflon reputation by somehow avoiding even a sex offender charge.
Chris was temporarily moved to Gateway Homes, a group home, as part of conditions imposed by the deferred disposition.[33] Silence ensued for the entire month of April 2023. In the months after May 2023, Chris started getting spotted around Chesterfield County, Virginia doing random activities, such as shopping and playing card games. In a few sightings, Chris was seen with a new Sonichu Medallion, waning away some hope that Chris had actually improved. Any remaining hope disappeared when Chris signed a receipt as "J. Christ Chan Sonichu."
In June 2023, Caden Peck and an LLC purchased a property in Big Island, VA, and at some point, Chris moved into the house. Through out the entire month of August 2023, after Chris's incest case being set to "Resolved Order Pending,"[34] Chris started rapidly becoming active in random places of the Internet, progressively setting new milestones, and receiving a surprisingly warm Enabler/White-Knight-filled welcome back.
On 23 August 2023, Chris made his first post-jail social media posts on DeviantART as he mass-posted unseen art made during his period of inactivity, new work on Sonichu comics, and custom Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder cards.
Just two days later, Chris's incest case was entirely dismissed, officially making Chris a free man.[35] While some people were upset that Chris had once again gotten off with a mere slap on the wrist while also feeling cheated by the justice system, many would watch with anticipation what Chris would do next. He was later spotted at 14 Branchland Court, with it being unclear if Barb was present at the time of his visit. The house was seen empty a few days later.
By 16 October 2023, Chris would make his full return to the Internet by uploading a bizarre video of himself singing two parodies of songs from the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master album in front of a green screen with clips of Chris dancing overlaid on top of the video throughout. It is likely that Praetor was behind the editing of the video. The next day, Chris would upload another video “Setting the record straight,” giving his side of the story in which he denied ever having sex with Barb, faked the story to troll Isabella Loretta Janke, incorrectly claimed the court found him innocent (the incest charge was dismissed following Chris's lawyer's request for an autism deferred disposition; he was not acquitted by a jury), rambled on about his newfound delusions of being the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and revealed the identity of the mysterious woman he'd been seen with in recent months, introducing her as Flutter.
In the following weeks, Chris would livestream himself playing games while weens would send him donations and text messages with old outdated memes, in order to get a rise out of him. Ironically, this has allowed Chris to earn upwards of $600 per stream from the pockets of the very weens that mess with him. Surprisingly, Chris has been keeping information about himself rather vague when answering questions in his Q&A livestreams. In January 2024, Chris was able to attend his first convention since his release from jail, though he was escorted out by security on the second day, presumably after his infamous reputation caught up to him.
As of right now, Chris remains at large, but is mostly keeping to himself as outsiders continue peering into his strange life.
