Enablers
An enabler or devotee is a person who encourages or enables negative or self-destructive behavior in another. In Christorical terms, an enabler is a hybrid of a white knight and ween. Since the Idea Guys saga, the go-to method for those trying to influence Chris has been to act as enablers of his delusions, replacing the previous method of posing as sweethearts. Enablers differ from weens in that they avoid making poor attempts to annoy Chris, instead focusing on ingratiating themselves to him with the effect of furthering his delusions.
Is Chris really this gullible?
The short answer is yes.
The long answers is a bit more complicated. Chris' grip on what is real and what is being fed to him has decreased over the years, to such an extent that he is nearly incapable of distingishing seemingly even what ideas come from his head and what came from others. A prime example of this is Sockness, who used fictional dialogue between various characters between Chris' characters and his own imaginary pantheon. Chris fully believed that this dialogue was legitimate and expressed that he had heard it himself.
Why you shouldn't be enabling Chris
Chris is already fucked up in the head
This kind of tactic has been done to death
If Chris' many sagas have proven anything, it's that he is a gullible numbskull will never learn from his past mistakes. As much as people take enablers for granted these days, you must remember that even before the Idea Guys, enabling Chris was never a new tactic. Confirming his beliefs is just a different means of enabling Chris, much like posing as a potential sweetheart. As a matter of fact, it's one of the earliest methods of trolling or manipulating him. All it really takes is to pretend to give Chris what he wants, or to confirm a belief he holds dearly, regardless of whether or not you truly feel that way.
A partially forgotten example of this is BlueSpike roleplaying as Julie. BlueSpike was able to use Chris for his own own entertainment solely by pretending to be another sweetheart, but one that for once wants to get into Chris' pants if he pays a few favors.
Think about it, if Chris will just believe anything you tell him that easily, sees no problems with being manipulated so long as you act kind to him, and only sees every enabler as a means to confirm his own crazy theories, do you really think that enabling him will make you the next trolling sensation? The bottom line is that much like weening, enabling Chris doesn't make you stand out from anyone else that's tried to do so, and it can come off as desperate to gain 15 minutes of Internet fame.
If you go far enough, it can come off as just plain depraved
The confidence built by playing make-believe with Chris has been abused several times. Sarah and Steve, Multidimensional White Knights and Jacob Sockness would all get their foot in the door by affirming Chris's beliefs, in some instances pretending to channel fictional characters from other dimensions, and then betray that trust for their own entertainment. Onlookers from Kiwi Farms and the CWCki itself have watched white knights reveal themselves in fact to be weens many times before. The CWCommunity at large treats weens without mercy. Even if you are not like the many traitors in recent Christory, it is impossible to get through to Chris any longer without deceiving him, and such guile is not looked upon favourably. Others have poisoned the well before you. You will be assumed to be acting in bad faith if you try to influence Chris for any reason, and treated accordingly.

Chris and kindness (rewrite)
Despite all of his moments of rage, death threats, lies, and... yuck, Chris does have a soft side, and he is not afraid to show it. As of recently, he will more often than not be motivated to act kind towards other people, even towards complete strangers. Due to his autism and upbringing making it difficult to empathize with others, these attempts are often awkward and occasionally cross the line to disrespect.
Despite this, it is not difficult to scratch the surface of his kindness to uncover his previous self.
