Orbiter Wave

This article is too large or off-topic. It has been suggested that we smash its Heart level down to 15% and split off the pieces into their own article. Discuss on the talk page.

This page is up for deletion, because Deletion will likely occur after the split, but it's because the term will be repurposed..
Every ounce of it will be shot to the moon unless a convincing case for its preservation is made on its talk page.

PROTIP: Notable Orbiter Wave figures should not get more than a paragraph or two, and should be squarely focused on their relation to events surrounding Chris.

Soon after chunks of the incest call were leaked on 30 July 2021, the affair became the 4th trending hashtag on Twitter. As a result of this and the following mainstream media coverage, thousands of people were exposed to Chris for the first time. Out of this new infamy the orbiter wave arose. It is dubbed as such due to the sheer volume of new people following Chris's life story. These people can be roughly broken down into three groups:

• Those who were curious to see what went wrong in his life leading up to the alleged fucking of his own mother.
• Those who saw him as nothing more than another deranged sex pest, blissfully unaware of Christory.
• Carpetbaggers: Those who took advantage of Chris's string of unlawful acts, including allegedly having sex with his own mother and the alleged theft of $750 from her, in order to gain some degree of attention from it.

This page will primarily focus on the more notable examples of these people, most of whom either wanted to take full advantage of the growing awareness of Chris and his life story and used their platform to attempt to profit off of it, or indirectly found themselves involved in Christory through their actions, all of whom do not have enough material for their own article otherwise.

The Players

Abstract Airsoft

About a day after Chris was sent to jail, a once anonymous troll going by the alias Airsoft Al, left a sticky note on his car and stole his license plate. Not too long after he posted about it on 4chan.

Abstract Al is an autistic YouTuber with similarities to Chris but had nothing to do with the theft of his license plate. He was framed for it by Chase Lopez of Abstract Airsoft.

Chrisisaman

A day after the leaks (and despite having all monetary support from the Everfree Northwest fundraiser being severed), Chris decided to go to a hotel in Richmond. Owning a conspicuous car, it wasn't long before Reddit user Chrisisaman managed to track down Chris's location at Regency Inn and post photographic evidence of his find to Reddit. While providing valuable information, Chrisisaman was derided for the clout-seeking manner in which he presented the information.

Party on, Garth!

e1ectricthunder is a young woman who posted a very brief video of her and an unknown accomplice interacting with Barb. The two of them went to the Chandler home, claimed to be friends of Chris's looking to get in touch with them, and were met only by a very confused-sounding Barb. Their visit was not well-received, especially on the Kiwi Farms, where this was viewed as the harassment of an elderly woman, who was a subject of sexual abuse from her own son, for Internet clout, which lead to her doxing.

Eels and the Egg-man

"You summoned us we came for cwc."

Eels and the Egg-man (@EelsandtheEgman) is a Twitter user who is internet friends with Helena Fiorenza and Kenneth Engelhardt. Because Eels lives in the United States and Helena does not, he has sent and received correspondence to/from Chris at Central Virginia Regional Jail on Helena's behalf, thereby saving Chris the inconvenience of sending mail internationally. Eels also posts the letters to Twitter, though he will sometimes choose to summarize the contents instead of releasing the full letters.

Eels made the following tweet on 10 July 2022:

“	Mission statement: If chris ever tells me something illegal/or too juicy (i.e. "hey Eels you know how I said I didn't fuck barb, well I lied I really did it!") in his letters and tells me not to publish them, I will publish it regardless of chris' request	”

Indy Nerd Culture

Indy Nerd Culture is a Youtuber user who creates Chris-related content, most typically providing commentary on recent happenings regarding Chris's case of incest, as well as interviews with prevalent Chris orbiters such as Kenneth Engelhardt and Helena Fiorenza.

Winfield Winfield

Main article: Fan visits#Winfield Winfield

Dylan Winfield, also known as Winfield Winfield is the self-published author of the first book in a planned horror novel series. Dylan seems to have found promoting his book by spamming Reddit and Twitter ineffective, so in June 2021 he hit upon the idea of sending a copy each to Chris and Barbara and asking for their reviews. Needless to say, the events of late July and early August would make that difficult, but Dylan continued to promote the idea of reaching out to Chris.

On 6 September 2021, Dylan traveled to Ruckersville, where he took a video at 14 Branchland Court as well as numerous still images in an attempt to promote his book series by piggybacking off Chris's Internet infamy. In addition to committing the crime of trespassing, he can be heard making his agonizingly cringey commentary about the house and its surroundings throughout the video as well as mentioning his book, revealing his true purpose in making the trek to 14BC in the first place. The following day, he uploaded the video and messaged GiBi on twitter. This resulted in his exposure on the Kiwi Farms, and several people calling him out on his carpetbagging attempts, after which he deleted his video within an hour, suggesting he was following the thread. Why, then, he didn't know better is a mystery.
