Chris's fan mail clipart from CWCipedia. It uses the same colors as Nazi Germany.

On 19 November 2009, the sysop of Cwcipedia created a new page for Chris to answer fan-E-mails. This mailbag marked the first time the words of other humans appeared on Cwcipedia, which up to that point had been all Chris all the time.

The mailbag quickly overflowed from its original page into a series of numbered pages, each one containing a random assortment of fanmail for Chris to respond to with his own special brand of Honest content. This quickly became the best way to ask Chris any manner of questions about his deeply disturbing life.

Insight

This direct line into Chris's thoughts allowed curious trolls a brand new way to find the answers they so desperately sought: Asking politely. Through these messages, several aspects of Chris's personality were either exposed or reinforced.

  • Chris absolutely despises being corrected. Repeatedly, Chris insisted that Asperger's syndrome was "nothing" like autism, and refused to even look at information that would suggest otherwise, outright saying that he was "closed-minded" on the subject.
  • Chris's aversion to certain words is as strong as ever. While Chris has apparently got over using the word "dick", his reliance on CWC-isms remains unchecked, the most notable example would be referring to a swastika as a "four-boomerang-shaped symbol".
  • Chris is fully aware of the fact that he's plagiarizing. When speaking about his inspiration he said that his ideas were sometimes "borrowed from a tv show or movie". He also treated fan suggestions as though he was going to take every single one of them rather than coming up with his own ideas, at one point giving a fan "permission" to submit a character for Chris to use in a future story.
  • Chris sure does hate gay people. It's inconsistent though. When Chris isn't going on about how he's going to cure homosexuality, he's making vague attempts at damage control, saying things like he wouldn't hate a guy "for just one reason".
  • Chris thinks the things he does are groundbreaking. In response to a letter about inventions, Chris says that necessity is the mother of inventions and proceeded to name Sonichu and CWCville as inventions. Take that, China!
  • Chris is largely unaware of the outside world. Obvious, of course, but he has now received letters from people claiming to be corrupt dictators (or their kids), serial murderers, a few Nazis, brilliant artists, famous video game designers, fictional characters, rock stars, a bisexual German cannibal, and the devil himself. The only person Chris has managed to recognize is horror author Stephen King in Mailbag 26, probably because Chris was familiar with the Stephen King related Family Guy episode.
  • Chris thinks girlfriends solve everything Inevitably, his advice for most of the people who are having any kind of problem is for them to find a girlfriend. As in his own life, he sees girlfriends as essentially mother figures that you also get to fuck, and believes that they will always improve the lives of his readers. In particular this is his response to anyone worried they might be experiencing "homo urges".

Censorship

Chris is fond of censorship.

Perhaps the most telling part of the Mailbags are not Chris's answers, but the letters Chris refuses to answer. In the first few mailbags, all e-mails that did not lavish adequate amounts of praise on Chris were promptly deleted. A few that did lavish praise on him were also deleted, because they were written by people who Chris found objectionable. These "unwanted" individuals generally consisted of gays, blacks, and atheists. A couple of other individuals were silenced when they confused Chris with the other, better Chris. Finally, one e-mail was only partially deleted, because the author stated that he was not fond of Michael Bay's Transformers movies.

In later Mailbags, Chris deleted less mail, notably after a few messages called him out on his suppression of the press. His choices for deletion however, became more erratic, deleting messages from people who wanted to actually help him, or from people asking serious honest questions. Eventually Chris added a Rejected Mailbag page to the Cwcipedia, as a place for e-mails he rejected, saying that they had "offensive, or mislabeling, content that I, Christian W. Chandler, would not care to respond to". Oddly, he then typed full responses to several of these "rejected" letters, making the whole thing pointless.

His newest trick, though, is to use strikeouts (like this) to edit letters that make him uncomfortable. Mostly he edits out anything related to homosexuality, and replaces it with non-homo stuff. However, he has gone back and undone some of these strikeouts.

The Twitter Feed

Main article: Twitter

On 25 December 2009, the WikiSysop added a live Twitter feed to the mailbag. This was short-lived, as on the early morning of the 27th Chris removed it in a fit of rage and added the following note:


o I will have NO DISCUSSIONS GOING ON BEHIND MY BACK ON MY OWN WEBSITE WHATSOEVER!

I DO NOT SUPPORT YOU GOD DAMN GAYS!!! I F***ING HATE ALL OF YOU WHO ARE THE MAJORITY OF TROLLS WHO MESS WITH ME AND MY LIFE!

GO GET YOUR OWN LIFE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

NO TWITTER ALLOWED!!!

--ChrisChanSonichu 04:31, 27 December 2009 (CET)

Exactly five minutes later Chris would create a special page for the Twitter feed, and delete the homophobic outburst quoted above. Chris would create a Twitter account for himself the very next day, regaling his fans with stories of him doing yardwork.
