“	[Wild Sonichu] needs his tail to be a leaf! Its gliding properties make him able to fly and jump higher! Don’t give him a big ol’ poofy Pachirisu tail, Courtney! Come on! GAAAH! That really triggered me!	”
Chris

The redesigned Wild Sonichu.

Chris's original design.

ProjectSNT, aka Courtney, is an artist who redesigns Sonic OCs for fun. Among her artwork is a redesign of Wild Sonichu, featuring a poofy tail. Chris, triggered over the change, tried to guilt-trip Courtney into scrapping the design. ProjectSNT intends to ignore Chris's tantrum.

On 6 December 2019, the ProjectSNT Twitter unveiled a redesign of the Chaotic Combo. An upset Chris replied, "I only Wish I could like this, but I am really unable to", neglecting to actually explain his issue with the art. Responding to an unrelated tweet with one of his enablers, Chris stated, "I am not replying to this, to move my Reply down the tweet wall, because something Seriously Triggered Me. No, No." (although Chris proceeded to casually make a few more unrelated tweets). Returning to the ProjectSNT tweet chain, Chris replied to enablers asking him what his issue was simply with a reaction gif reading "TRIGGERED.", before casually commenting on other subjects.

The following day, Chris, while sick with a UTI, made several bizarre and disjointed, Yoda-style word salad tweets, still vaguely criticizing the redesign.

......Pain. ...Feel Well I Not. Rest Need I. Hurts Head. ...... UTI up acting. P waiting to. Know feeling not I well am. Yes, recover I be will. Super Stressed Ears Pachirisu Round Face to got me. E-mail received #ProjectSNT vent with. Expected Courtney did than better that I. Napkin. ⚡️💙⚡️

Replying to enablers asking him what was wrong:

Night last troubling still me. Up shook I not am only still. Virus possible. Rest need I. Bed in I am. Else to everyone, want laugh you all; this serious is very.

And to a tweet chain with ProjectSNT:

Like this I. Ears me killed Pachirishu round face. Job good drawing on usual as. Expected triggered I not did. Check did email your I you pray have. Safe good and have day a.

A few hours later, Chris gave up on the charade and resumed typing as normal, claiming that "My brain was literally out of order earlier; I was unable to make coherent sentences through my hands. It was not on purpose. I’m recovering, but I am feeling Ill."

A fan asked if he was upset over people liking the Chaotic Combo redesign better than the original, to which Chris denied, saying he was "TRIGGERED BAD" over seeing the design.

On ProjectSNT's YouTube video of the redesign, Chris commented:

This Video TRIGGERED ME BAD. Nothing to do with the comments or opinions of others, or her drawing style, but, yeah, a LOT of the choices on the redesigns TRIGGERED ME BAD. Ugh. 😵🤧🤢🤕😱😰😨🤯 ⚡️💙⚡️

Later, during a livestream promoting his custom TSSSF cards, Chris finally stated his reason for throwing a tantrum over the redesign, saying he was bothered over Wild Sonichu having a poofy tail, instead of the original leafy tail, because it meant he wouldn't be able to glide very well. Ironically, the ability to fly with his tail, while canon, is extremely minor even in the comics, as Wild is never directly shown using the power.

By 10 December, ProjectSNT had not responded to Chris's messages on the subject. Chris tried to guilt trip her by using his ongoing illness.

“	I’m still learning my better magics and powers. I have been able to stave off the viral infections for MONTHS. The virus snuck in when I was hyper-stressed from being extensively TRIGGERED by @ProjectSNT’s Redesign video.	”
Chris, blaming an artist for his inability to cope with a character's design changes

He tagged her again in a rant, hoping for a response:

Good morning. I am still recovering, the virus is being stupid, but I’m psychically pushing it away, yet it decided to attack my throat again. At least my voice is not shot again. But, I would not be in this infected situation if I was not overly stressed from being TRIGGERED last Friday night by certain Redesign choices. I may sound selfish, and I do not personally blame @ProjectSNT for triggering my brain, BUT I kind of wish she would acknowledge my response, as I had emailed her directly, my feelings, and the fact that the ordeal allowed a cold virus to get to me as badly as it did. I respect her as a fellow Original Creator, a good artist, and a kind-hearted individual. I feel like I need to talk and sort this problem out with her as soon as possible. I ask all of you to please NOT Troll, Hate on, or Pester her At All. I do not pester others, and I typically untag them and if need be, I would #hastag them. But to be more direct, I felt need to directly @ tag. That is all.

A fan tried to persuade Chris he was in the wrong by using his own logic about OCs against him, however, Chris dismissed the message partway through with, "Not now, please."

Stewing on the matter further, Chris replied to a fan calling him out for being the only one triggered:

Well, I DID Get Epic Triggered from @ProjectSNT’s Poor Redesign choices on four out of five of them. They actually are moreover Separate Individuals than Redesigns, which does throw me off. The ONLY Exception is the Punchy Sonichu Redesign. The WORST Culprit being the Wild Sonichu Redesign. He needs his Leaf for better gliding and flight than a Large Tail could EVER do, and Sonichu Ears are Typically Long. And Yet, regardless of this, apparently there is something deeper than that that just sets off my subconscious WORSE than that moment at @TooManyGames where I went hedgehog. WORSE THAN THAT. THIS resonated a reminder in my subconscious that was Like Hell to me, and I am Still racking my brain trying to figure WHY for myself. Neck-down, the image is not offensive at all to me. Neck-up: TRIGGERED. I cannot even Look At It Directly, it Freaking Bothers Me Like Worse than Hell. The only theory I can gather is that it reminds me of someone of Really Awful Intentions or Design. But at the moment, @ProjectSNT, it Badly reminds me of Dave the Intern and Justin Beaver. I’m still letting the Why question stew in my subconscious as I continue to meditate and continue onward until when the answer comes to me. Meanwhile, the damn cold is partly affecting my brain. It could be worse, believe me.
