'''Christian Opitz''' (born 17 January 2001), also known as '''Copitz''' is a YouTuber and a speedrunner on [[Twitch]] who lives in [[Charlottesville]]. Starting in [[May 2018]], he began visiting Chris and recording videos of him and his friends chatting with Chris while visiting local areas.
 
==1st Visit and interview==
On 19 May 2018, Copitz and his friends went to Chris's house to give him fanart he had drawn. Chris was overjoyed to meet them and [[TooManyGames|kissed each of them on the cheek]],<ref name=kiss></ref> which he thought they found flattering<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/997967420575760384</ref> and agreed to do a video with them.
 
The video took place on 26 May 2018, with the videos released a few days later. A highlight is Chris saying that he regrets being more infamous than famous while hearing about the recent documentary made about him. He also says that he still goes to Anytime Fitness and has a membership, but "had to relocate" to one that wasn't in Ruckersville. He mentions that some unknown friends took him to see the movie ''Pokémon: I Choose You''.

[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I didn't even know what the Kiwi Farms was, I w- I just thought like [''jump cut''] It was a place to maybe brag about my experience, you know, [Chris laughs] 'cause it was the first thing I thought of when I got home, but then I realized... that wasn't such a good idea and [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Mmm.] th- most of the people on the forums were telling me it wasn't a good idea either.

<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: How did you feel about the videos that he made?

[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, it might- you know, that would actually be a good idea because it could pick up the business that Toys "R" Us, um, [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Lost.] would have lost, yeah.

[''Chris suddenly moves her head to her left shoulder, imitating a bell.'']

Not like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Bell the Liberty Bell,] exactly, just like, you know, just a f- kind of a crack, because, I dunno, we're not perfect, we're all a little cracked somewhere.

<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''stress sigh'']  I'm not, [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid!!!|I'm not totally into politics, I'm kind of a neut- I'm kind of neutral]], but I definitely wish that, uh, Obama could stay in office,

<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: My tongue was in the right place, and I went with it.
 
[''The gargling noise is apparently supposed to be rolling her 'r's, but it's not remotely like what it should be.  It sounds more like an 'L' sound than an 'R' sound, and her tongue is definitely not "in the right place".'']

<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: And I saw you- you liked one of Donald Trump's tweets.

<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: They're being released, they're coming back to America, they reunite with their... family.  Of the White House.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: So you're just happy to hear it.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah.  I like good news.  And [[My_Little_Pony#Chris_and_ponies|Tara Strong]] shared dat link, by the way.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Okay.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Tara an' I, we hate Trump, but we do like the good news, and good things in life.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: The good news.  Well, you know, you gotta see the good in people sometimes, even if they're not so good.

<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, okay, from, uh, My Little Pony.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, but it's my- it's my special Cutie Mark, I took multiple quizzes to find out what I be.  I ended up being, you know, to make my OC pony [[Night Star]]. That's her Cutie Mark, an' she and I share da Cutie Mark.

<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Just- just kind of an imagery of wings on my back.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''Looks straight at the camera''] We got a modern day R Kelly right here.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Modern day R Kelly?

<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you think maybe you- you'll get into voice acting, sometime?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uh, possibly, if they- we get an anime show for Sonichu I'll voice myself and my son.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh! That would be so cool!

<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: No, we didn't fall for that.

<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Cleveland.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: To Cleveland. And then it was that, old worn down house?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah.

<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Just a little old lady!~
 
<font color="purple">'''Carson'''</font color>: Now you were talking about, voice acting Sonichu, what would Sonichu sound like?
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oooh, that's a good question.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uh, something close to the original, like, y'know, back in the adventures Saturday morning phase, somin- sounding like that, Um, ha! Robotnic totally got me with this, but nah, I ain't gonna be falled by that. Uh, but they're scratchin' rounders, I'm gonna go trip on them, hubre I am referring to the episode, rounder the genius.

<pre>
GHOST HUNTING WITH CHRIS CHAN
</pre>


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What's up guys, we're here at the DeJarnette sanatorium. Uh- I'm here with Christine Weston Chandler.
'''Copitz''' is a YouTuber and a speedrunner on [[Twitch]] who lives in [[Charlottesville]]. Starting in [[May 2018]], he began visiting Chris and recording videos of him and his friends chatting with Chris while visiting local areas. Copitz would also play a role in developing ''[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'' docuseries, organizing a meet-up between TheGamerFromMars and Chris at [[14 Branchland Court|his home]].


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''holding his hand up''] Yo. Yo!
==Initial Visit==
Copitz described himself as a big fan of Chris, and obsessively watched [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History]]. Upon realizing that he lived just 20 minutes away from him, he drew a batch of fanart and went with his friend Eric to Chris's house. They rang the doorbell, gave the fanart, and took a picture with him. Chris gave both of them a kiss on the cheek, and then made a tweet about the interaction. Copitz also mentioned the possibility of them making a video together.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: AKA Chris Chan, and we're gonna be exploring this place searching for ghosts.
{{quotebox|Today two very handsome Young Men came to my house to Hand Deliver some Fan Art!


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [[Hello, Juffalo|Ruffalo]]! (?)
I humbly accepted their Gifts, gave them Great Big Kisses (on the CHEEK) and sent them on their way!


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It's gonna be ''pretty epic'' if I do say so myself.
I might even do a Video with them Sometime Soon! 🌈🌈<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20191108230701/https://twitter.com/cwcsonichu/status/997957259182227458</ref>}}


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''laugh'']
After this interaction, Copitz signed up to [[Kiwi Farms]] and made a thread on the forum, not knowing that the forum largely has a negative opinion of Chris.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/</ref>


[''jump cut to a chain-link fence'']
{{quoteboxbrown|Chris Chan lives only 20 minutes away from me and I am a big fan, so I couldn't miss the opportunity to meet THE CWC. I drew some fan-art and drove to Chris's house with my friend, rang the doorbell, and was greeted by a friendly and familiar face. Chris took the art and let me take a picture of us, gave us a big kiss on the cheek and we we left. It was a very interesting experience to meet somebody so iconic.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you think you can fit through here, Christine?
[[File:CWC with Copitz 1.jpg|200px]]}}


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I think I can manage.
Kiwi Farms started insulting him for many reasons, including his appearance. Copitz decided to clarify his intentions.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Alright.
{{quoteboxbrown|Barb showed up to the door while we were talking to Chris, but we did not speak to her.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/post-3373082</ref>}}
{{quoteboxbrown|Just to clear things up, I didn't have any intentions other than saying hi and asking if Chris wanted to make a video with me just for fun. Nothing else. I apologize that I did not make my intentions clear in the first place.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/page-3#post-3373110</ref>}}

{{main|A Chat with Christine Weston Chandler/Chris Chan}}


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Thank you.
Copitz started talking about his planned video in his KF thread.


[''jump cut to Chris grunting and struggling to make it through the broken fence gate'']
{{quoteboxbrown|The video I am hoping to make will just be us hanging out, going to McDonalds, and/or playing some video games - just something for fun, not making fun of Chris in any way.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/post-3373216</ref>}}
{{quoteboxbrown|I definitely see why you say that. I appreciate you trying to be reasonable, but I am not planning on going any farther than us making a video together, and there's a small chance we would make more in the future if Chris would want to. But I have no intentions to do any livestreaming together or anything of the sort. Yes, I may see a marginal increase of views on my YouTube channel, but that is only somewhat of a side-benefit. Mostly I just thought it would be an iconic experience to meet and make a video with such a popular personality online, and I felt like it would be fun. Bragging here on kiwifarms was just the first thing I thought of when I got home, as I have seen this website before in relation with Chris, but I realize now that this was not the place to be posting, even though I probably would have ended up being posted on here by a third party anyway.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/page-7#post-3373699</ref>}}


[''jump cut again to Chris entering the front of the building through a large broken window. The scrape of broken glass on the floor can be heard as Chris steps through'']
On 26 [[May 2018]], Copitz went with Lee and a group of other friends to interview Chris. Copitz posted it on [[Kiwi Farms]], where it was largely criticized for the lack of interesting questions asked, however this did not bother him. The video is most notable for firmly establishing the friendship between Copitz and Chris.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Nice job.
==Ghost Hunting==
{{Main|Ghost Hunting with Chris Chan}}


[''Jump cut to Chris and Copitz wielding flashlights inside the building's dark interior'']
During [[February 2019]], almost an year after their last interaction, Copitz, Lee, and a third friend all visited Chris to ghost hunt at the DeJarnette Center for Human Development in Staunton, Virginia. Not much actual ghost hunting happens in the video, and the four mostly just walk around and talk about ghosts and other topics. Copitz later complimented Chris on his empathy for the victims of Joseph DeJarnette, both on and off camera.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: So there's a bunch of different levels to this building.
==The Chris Chan Conspiracy==
{{Main|The Chris Chan Conspiracy}}


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''in a strange voice''] I see dead people. I think the ghosts are comin' after me. [''laugh'']
During [[December 2019]], Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber TheGamerFromMars, who wanted to interview Chris for his documentary series '[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'. Copitz accepted, and contacted Chris to plan the interview with him. Eventually, GFM drove to [[14 Branchland Court]], and met up with Chris and Copitz. They walk with Chris in his backyard, play games with him in his room, walk around the neighborhood, go to a restaurant, before ending the video by chatting to Chris on his gazebo. Copitz later released a deleted scene on his YouTube channel.

{{see also|Xleepy|Pappy Van Poodle Interview}}


[''jump cut to a very short time later; Chris and Copitz are walking down a hall'']
Copitz is known to have invited Chris to his [[Discord]] server, however he never chatted.


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Christian, come here.
On 3 [[May 2019]], Copitz accidentally ran into Chris at the downtown mall, who asked him for a ride. Copitz agreed to give Chris a ride, and also took a picture with him.<ref>[[:File:Copitz's Server - Copitz chats.png]]</ref>


[''jump cut to Chris displaying his wrists'']
On 25 [[May 2019]], Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber Nick Robinson, who wanted to arrange an interview with Chris about the character Pappy Van Poodle from Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. Copitz agreed with this, and set up a video call with Chris and Nick, which was [[Pappy Van Poodle Interview|posted online]].


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I got quartz- uh, lightning quartz on my wrist.
In [[February 2020]], Copitz's friend [[Xleepy]] reached out to him in order to arrange a meeting with Chris, which would be recorded and added to Xleepy's channel trailer. Copitz contacted Chris, and he made the video with Xleepy on 29 February. Copitz is seen sitting next to Chris while he showcases his psychic powers.  


[''the camera zooms in; the video becomes fuzzy before focusing the close-up on Chris's gloved hands'']
On 25 [[December 2022]], Copitz left a comment on [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History]] Episode 70,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw9OtvE0r6Q&t=781s&ab_channel=GenoSamuel2.1</ref> which featured his ghost hunting footage.


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: It might take a- more than one try, but I'm able to do it on the first try often times, [''lifts his arms up, his forearms crossed at the wrists''] but I'm gonna make it grind in here. [''pulls his wrists against each other, making a loud click.''] Ah.
{{quoteboxbrown|holy shit hahaha this is awesome. ngl it's so weird but cool to see myself in the Geno documentary after obsessively watching that very same documentary for hours upon hours prior to ever meeting Chris.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Should I stand back?
Thank you Geno for sharing my video with people! And I'm glad you found some use of it


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''trying again, another click is made''] ahh, sometimes it [''unintelligible'']. [''click''] Ahh, I can do this, now I can do it [''click'']
Just a correction, February was when we filmed the Dejarnette video, about a month prior to uploading it, as I was running into issues with the PC I was using to edit


[''pan to Copitz'']
I want to note how interesting I find what I interpret as - despite all of the things Chris has done which have hurt people - as a huge amount of empathy exhibited by Chris when it comes to the victims of Dejarnette. And the empathy they had for me during our video, with how kind they were. I will also say that from what I remember of our conversations 1-on-1 off camera, Chris was clearly far more interested in talking about me than about themself and trying to help me figure out issues in my life through what they believed to be their powers. Chris obviously has a very different view of the world from us all and it may help people wishing to understand them better to realize that despite the hurt a person may have caused in others, the reason behind their hurtful actions often comes from a desire to help both that person and themselves, yet the decision to do so can be warped by the only way they know how to understand things and a maladaptive level of empathy for themselves.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What are you trying to do?
This is why I truly hope Chris is finding happiness in the obviously inherently unhappy reality of prison through living within their own reality. And maybe some people can find empathy for Chris if they can see the empathy Chris has themselves, no matter how maladaptive.


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Tryin' making light. [''unintelligible''] do it.
Thanks again Geno! Hope you had a merry Christmas!}}
 
[''pan to what looks to be Lee- though it may be another person- while Chris is finally able to get his rock to make light'']

[''cut to a hallway with bright light at the end of it'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''observing artwork of hot air balloons on the wall''] Well, that's a nice picture, with all the balloons there. [''reading graffiti on top of it''] My balloooon. I like this picture.
 
[''jump cut to Chris'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: So this is- uh- this is- uh, DeJarnette sanatorium.
 
[''jump cut to Copitz, his face illuminated by his flashlight'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It's where- uh, Joseph DeJarnette- um, did his work. He's- uh, known for being a pretty famous eugenics doctor, and he's known to still roam the halls. As a ghost, obviously.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Wha' was 'is name?
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Closed down waaay long ago- his name was Joseph Dejarnette.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Joseph. [[Random-access humor|Hello, Joe, what do you know?]]
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you believe in ghosts?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, I've met ghosts- so, yes.

Christian
Information
Name Christian
Gender Male
Race White
Nationality American

Copitz is a YouTuber and a speedrunner on Twitch who lives in Charlottesville. Starting in May 2018, he began visiting Chris and recording videos of him and his friends chatting with Chris while visiting local areas. Copitz would also play a role in developing The Chris Chan Conspiracy docuseries, organizing a meet-up between TheGamerFromMars and Chris at his home.

Initial Visit

Copitz described himself as a big fan of Chris, and obsessively watched Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History. Upon realizing that he lived just 20 minutes away from him, he drew a batch of fanart and went with his friend Eric to Chris's house. They rang the doorbell, gave the fanart, and took a picture with him. Chris gave both of them a kiss on the cheek, and then made a tweet about the interaction. Copitz also mentioned the possibility of them making a video together.

Today two very handsome Young Men came to my house to Hand Deliver some Fan Art!

I humbly accepted their Gifts, gave them Great Big Kisses (on the CHEEK) and sent them on their way!

I might even do a Video with them Sometime Soon! 🌈🌈[1]

After this interaction, Copitz signed up to Kiwi Farms and made a thread on the forum, not knowing that the forum largely has a negative opinion of Chris.[2]

Chris Chan lives only 20 minutes away from me and I am a big fan, so I couldn't miss the opportunity to meet THE CWC. I drew some fan-art and drove to Chris's house with my friend, rang the doorbell, and was greeted by a friendly and familiar face. Chris took the art and let me take a picture of us, gave us a big kiss on the cheek and we we left. It was a very interesting experience to meet somebody so iconic.

Kiwi Farms started insulting him for many reasons, including his appearance. Copitz decided to clarify his intentions.

Barb showed up to the door while we were talking to Chris, but we did not speak to her.[3]
Just to clear things up, I didn't have any intentions other than saying hi and asking if Chris wanted to make a video with me just for fun. Nothing else. I apologize that I did not make my intentions clear in the first place.[4]

The Fanart

Interview

Copitz started talking about his planned video in his KF thread.

The video I am hoping to make will just be us hanging out, going to McDonalds, and/or playing some video games - just something for fun, not making fun of Chris in any way.[5]
I definitely see why you say that. I appreciate you trying to be reasonable, but I am not planning on going any farther than us making a video together, and there's a small chance we would make more in the future if Chris would want to. But I have no intentions to do any livestreaming together or anything of the sort. Yes, I may see a marginal increase of views on my YouTube channel, but that is only somewhat of a side-benefit. Mostly I just thought it would be an iconic experience to meet and make a video with such a popular personality online, and I felt like it would be fun. Bragging here on kiwifarms was just the first thing I thought of when I got home, as I have seen this website before in relation with Chris, but I realize now that this was not the place to be posting, even though I probably would have ended up being posted on here by a third party anyway.[6]

On 26 May 2018, Copitz went with Lee and a group of other friends to interview Chris. Copitz posted it on Kiwi Farms, where it was largely criticized for the lack of interesting questions asked, however this did not bother him. The video is most notable for firmly establishing the friendship between Copitz and Chris.

Ghost Hunting

Main article: Ghost Hunting with Chris Chan

During February 2019, almost an year after their last interaction, Copitz, Lee, and a third friend all visited Chris to ghost hunt at the DeJarnette Center for Human Development in Staunton, Virginia. Not much actual ghost hunting happens in the video, and the four mostly just walk around and talk about ghosts and other topics. Copitz later complimented Chris on his empathy for the victims of Joseph DeJarnette, both on and off camera.

The Chris Chan Conspiracy

Main article: The Chris Chan Conspiracy

During December 2019, Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber TheGamerFromMars, who wanted to interview Chris for his documentary series 'The Chris Chan Conspiracy'. Copitz accepted, and contacted Chris to plan the interview with him. Eventually, GFM drove to 14 Branchland Court, and met up with Chris and Copitz. They walk with Chris in his backyard, play games with him in his room, walk around the neighborhood, go to a restaurant, before ending the video by chatting to Chris on his gazebo. Copitz later released a deleted scene on his YouTube channel.

Other Interactions

Copitz giving Chris a ride in May 2019

Copitz is known to have invited Chris to his Discord server, however he never chatted.

On 3 May 2019, Copitz accidentally ran into Chris at the downtown mall, who asked him for a ride. Copitz agreed to give Chris a ride, and also took a picture with him.[7]

On 25 May 2019, Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber Nick Robinson, who wanted to arrange an interview with Chris about the character Pappy Van Poodle from Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. Copitz agreed with this, and set up a video call with Chris and Nick, which was posted online.

In February 2020, Copitz's friend Xleepy reached out to him in order to arrange a meeting with Chris, which would be recorded and added to Xleepy's channel trailer. Copitz contacted Chris, and he made the video with Xleepy on 29 February. Copitz is seen sitting next to Chris while he showcases his psychic powers.

On 25 December 2022, Copitz left a comment on Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History Episode 70,[8] which featured his ghost hunting footage.

holy shit hahaha this is awesome. ngl it's so weird but cool to see myself in the Geno documentary after obsessively watching that very same documentary for hours upon hours prior to ever meeting Chris.

Thank you Geno for sharing my video with people! And I'm glad you found some use of it

Just a correction, February was when we filmed the Dejarnette video, about a month prior to uploading it, as I was running into issues with the PC I was using to edit

I want to note how interesting I find what I interpret as - despite all of the things Chris has done which have hurt people - as a huge amount of empathy exhibited by Chris when it comes to the victims of Dejarnette. And the empathy they had for me during our video, with how kind they were. I will also say that from what I remember of our conversations 1-on-1 off camera, Chris was clearly far more interested in talking about me than about themself and trying to help me figure out issues in my life through what they believed to be their powers. Chris obviously has a very different view of the world from us all and it may help people wishing to understand them better to realize that despite the hurt a person may have caused in others, the reason behind their hurtful actions often comes from a desire to help both that person and themselves, yet the decision to do so can be warped by the only way they know how to understand things and a maladaptive level of empathy for themselves.

This is why I truly hope Chris is finding happiness in the obviously inherently unhappy reality of prison through living within their own reality. And maybe some people can find empathy for Chris if they can see the empathy Chris has themselves, no matter how maladaptive.

Thanks again Geno! Hope you had a merry Christmas!
