HarassCWCdirectly
#HarassCWCdirectly is a hashtag campaign Chris made on Twitter as a response to one of DoopieDoOver's posts. Doopie stated the unambiguous fact that Chris' harassment towards her is "beyond scary"; Chris somehow interpreted this as referring to his trolls instead of him. As a result, Chris got upset that they were supposedly attacking his sweetheart, and decided to make a speech as a means of attacking them in a video he uploaded on 2 August 2017. However, like every other speech Chris has ever made, it is very poorly made, not only because he decided to ignore the point completely like in many of his other speeches, but because of the fact that he flat out tells all of the trolls to start harassing him, instead of Doopie, the one thing that stresses him out. The speech itself is essentially just Chris saying "If you want to harass Doopie, you're going to have to get past me first." It is an unusual instance of Chris white knighting someone else, however misguided or unnecessary his efforts may be.
Note the incorrect dating of the Captain's log video. Given Chris' anger, his attention was elsewhere during production.
Prelude
In March 2017, Chris started communicating with Planet Dolan artist DoopieDoOver on Twitter.[1] Over the next five months, his interactions grew increasingly frequent, including personal emails to her business account.[2] Originally one-way, Doopie first responded to Chris in April.[3] Chris began pledging to her two Patreon accounts in the June and August of this year.[4][5] The latter was a NSFW account, in which he requested a very specific piece of art.[6] At this time, Doopie grew frustrated, as weens were pledging then pulling out before payment, in an effort to see Chris' commission.[7]
On 1 August 2017, Chris took advantage of the trending hashtag for National Girlfriend Day by composing a tweet, which tagged his internet gal pal Doopie, and My Little Pony voice actors, among several others.
Later that day, Doopie gave a firm response, establishing that they only had a merchant-customer relationship.[8] Chris sought for a compromise in the form of an "acquaintance" through online communication. The following conversation unveiled Chris' infatuation with the artist, despite his awareness of Doopie's boyfriend. Initially, Doopie tried to let Chris down gently; however, his perseverance led her to admitting that his "extremely creepy" interactions were bothering her.[9]
The conversation between Chris and Doopie brought weens out of the woodwork to advise Doopie and scorn Chris. An agitated Chris proceeded to argue with the trolls. Through this incident, Chris convinced himself that Doopie's rejection was not a consequence of his actions, but was purely those of the trolls. Chris set off to prepare a new series of drawings.

#DontHarassMe
Chris also introduced the secondary hashtag #DontHarassMe, accompanied by a drawing of mugshots featuring himself and Planet Dolan.[10] Though surpassed in popularity by Chris' first hashtag, once again, the intention of this hashtag was to divert the trolls away from his friends.
Days later, after Chris had ended the campaign, he explained the meaning of the icon imagery to a fan who was bewildered by it.
The icon is a combination of wearing one's heart on their sleeve and the ability to see the injustice of those who harass other people at one person's expense, and because we are linked together by having seen such injustice done to someone or another we care about. We will not let the Trolls, Bullies and Haters get away with harassing others at our expense.[11] |
Chris's choice to depict "wearing one's heart on their sleeve" is ironic, given that Doopie explicitly advised him that doing that would just be setting himself up for disappointment[12].
Aftermath
Given the heartache caused by his original tweet, Chris deleted it days later. Chris was no longer following Doopie (though he continues to follow Planet Dolan). Furthermore, he was no longer pledging to her two Patreon accounts, suggesting that Doopie had refunded the pledges. Based on Chris' reluctance to sever contact, and Doopie's admission of stress caused by the hassle brought on by Chris and weens[13], it is likely that Doopie blocked Chris.
The impact of Chris' tweet also caught the attention of Tabitha St. Germain, a My Little Pony voice actor, prompting Chris to produce a long-winded apology (which also gave insight into his campaign).[14] St. Germain later addressed her fans, advising them not to tag her in any erupting Twitter arguments.[15]
Chris ceased his personal promotion of the campaign on 4 August when he reverted his Twitter and Facebook avatars. In a Patreon post on the same day, he thanked followers for using the hashtag, implying that he still favors the usage by trolls.[16] As of 4 August, the hashtag has garnered dozens of responses from both weens and white knights.[17]
