[[File:InternetDreamLounge.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Artist's impression of the virtual interview (from left to right: Easy-K, Chris and Merryweather).]]
One's '''personality''' is a set of mental, emotional, and behavioral qualities that make up an individual's character. Studying personality is a key aspect of psychology, allowing experts to know what makes people the way they are. There are many methods for testing one's personality, with some backed by decades of scientific research, and others created by random people on [[Facebook]] to show ads.  
'''Internet Dream Lounge''' (stylized as '''Ｉｎｔｅｒｎｅｔ　Ｄｒｅａｍ　Ｌｏｕｎｇｅ''') was a short-lived [[YouTube]] podcast series hosted by Merryweather (aka Merryweathery), a Danish web artist, and Easy-K, an EDM music artist.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6q7ndms_7GIAELHGLqq72w/about YouTube page]</ref> The premise of the podcast was to interview people with a [[Weens|sizable following]] over the [[Chris and the Internet|internet]]. On 4 [[October 2017]] Chris appeared as the guest star of their fourth podcast.


As of [[August 2020]], the channel remains inactive, with all videos privatized.
Chris's personality is quite eclectic. It is what draws countless people around the globe to study and follow his antics. He has spoken quite a bit on his own idea of his personality, but his own insight doesn't always jive with [[reality]].


==Background==
His personality has undergone quite the change since Bob's death, with some traits undergoing a full 180.
On 4 [[September 2017]], Chris retweeted Merryweathery, who [[September 2017 tweets#The Internet Dream Lounge Podcast|announced]] that Chris would be the next guest star for the podcast. Despite the announcement's broadcast date set for the following week, days before the expected release, Merryweathery went on to [[September 2017 tweets#Internet Dream Lounge podcast delayed|announce the delay]] of the video; however, he was accepting additional questions for the interview. The first interview was alluded to have been recorded on 4 September. According to Merryweather, a re-recording was carried out on 4 October, for a 9th of October release.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/08-10-cwc-podcast-interview.35059</ref>


Chris stated that he accepted the interview for the following reasons:<ref>[[September 2017 Patreon posts#Music request]]</ref>
==Disclaimer==
*He was not pressed on sensitive issues.
*He was [[Financhu Crisis|paid]].
*Merryweathery agreed to help [[Tapas|Chris's Sonichu business]] as a "social media manager."


On 5 September, Merryweathery showed up on the [[Kiwi Farms]] in defense of the interview, upon receiving criticism from users that he was not going to get any new information out of Chris. He revealed to an extent the contents of the interview, notably an "interesting answer" from Chris with regards to the identity of the [[Magical Man]].<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/9-4-planned-podcast-interview.33946/</ref>
[[File:Myers-Briggs type indicator.jpg|thumb|The Myers-Briggs type indicator is a popular personality test system.]]
Personality testing is a controversial field, with few tests used universally within the scientific community. Even the famous Myers-Briggs test, while useful for rough workplace assessments, is somewhat vague. It misses key areas like creativity and openness, and people who take the test often get different results over time. The closest thing to a gold standard is the Big Five, or OCEAN test.  


Merryweathery maintained good relations with Chris after the interview. In December, he tweeted a gift to @WeWuzMetokur of a drawing of him by Chris, saying that Chris had done it as a favor.<ref>https://twitter.com/Merryweatherey/status/940976409601826817</ref>. Chris later drew an art piece for Merryweathery for his birthday.
This article discusses various aspects of Chris's personality, but is not to be taken as a substitute for an actual psych-eval.

==Introversion vs extraversion==
File:Mister Kurmeto by Chris Chan.jpg|Mister Kurmeto
Chris has shown traits of both introversion (reservedness, solitude) and extraversion (people-seeking, sociability) over the years. It should be be noted that no person is a true introvert or a true extrovert, rather it is more akin to a [[Autism|spectrum]] which people fall on, and people can behave differently in different contexts.

</gallery></center>


{{clear}}
At [[Manchester High School|high school]], Chris appears to have been fairly introverted, though with a drive to be extroverted. A [[Manchester_High_Leaks#Getting_Acquainted|leaked icebreaker worksheet]] shows that Chris only talked to 7 of his class-mates. They were all [[Noviophobia|female]]. Despite trying to later hold a high school reunion, in the [[Song of Christian]], a 16-year old Chris describes having few friends and how his "loneliness is off the scale”. Even with the social prestige of being a water-boy to the school [[Bionic the Hedgehog|basketball team]] and his [[Gal-pals]], Chris took his [[Barbara Chandler|mom]] to the school prom. Nearly 10 years after the prom, Chris talked about feeling like an outcast at the prom, however his highlight of the evening was when one of his [[Tiffany Gowen|gal-pals]] felt sorry for him and "pulled [him] onto the dance floor". This dance "felt like hours" to Chris.<ref>[[User:ChrisChanSonichu profile#The Seinor Prom]]</ref>


==Interview==
Around the time of discovery by [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], Chris was mainly an introvert. He kept to himself and barely spoke to anyone but his sweetheart. He joined most public chats in both [[IRC|text]] and [[Mumble|voice]] forms only after being goaded by his current sweetheart<ref>[[BlueSpike Skype Logs 5#February 10]]</ref> or a troll. And even in these chats, he didn't converse a lot, and only answered questions directed towards him. Even while playing video games, he mostly stuck to playing single player games such as God of War, Pokemon, Sonic and Animal Crossing. Any multiplayer game he did play was mostly with his sweetheart like LittleBigPlanet and Burnout Paradise. Before his discovery, when he frequented the THe GAMe PLAce, he mostly kept to himself (and Megan), and rarely interacted with other people except during card games.<Ref>[[Lucas and Mimms Q&A#Chris's behavior]]</ref>


{{Infobox/Fanvideo
Classic Chris, therefore would clearly fall on the introvert side of the spectrum but he isn't a full on introvert as he did visit an [[Anime Mid-Atlantic|anime expo in 2004 and 2005]]. New Chris however would easily fall on he extrovert side since 2017 as he started publicly responding to people, started playing multiplayer and co-op games such as Tetris 99 and PayDay 2, visited multiple conventions like [[Bronycon]], [[Omegacon]], [[BABScon]] and the [[TooManyGames]] expo. He has also started streaming videos, and answering questions his fans have. He has also joined public and private discord groups, though his interaction with other humans in them is limited. On [[Twitter]], he has started interacting (although poorly) to a ton of people ranging from artists to [[enablers]].

==Transcript==
==Kindness vs resentment==
[[File:InternetDreamLoungeAvatar2.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Chris's ''Internet Dream Lounge'' avatars.]]
:''Main article: [[Kindness]]''


===Intro (0:00:00-0:01:14)===
While Chris may strive to be kind, his efforts often fall flat and instead come across as annoying, overwhelming or creepy. Chris at least shows he makes an effort to look like a kind person, and he has referred to himself as the "kind and compassionate Christine Chandler".<ref>[[A New, Fun Trick]]</ref> But saying you're kind and actually being kind are two different things.
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Great. Great. U- Yeah, Uh, I'll go ahead and count us down, um, 3, 2, 1. Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the Internet Dream Lounge. I'm your host, R. Merryweather, and with me, as always, my co-host, Easy-K.


<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> What's up, guys?
Many of Chris's attempts at being kind, from calling complete strangers "[[darling]]" to [[TooManyGames|kissing]] guys he just met, are a clear violation of other's boundaries and easily make people feel uncomfortable. Ironically, his attempts can be quite unkind.


<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> And on this week's show, we have the honor of presenting to our dear viewers: The Eternal Hero of Love, The Defender of Autism, and the God-Emperor of Cwcville: The Creator of Sonichu- Christine Weston Chandler!
==Empathy vs antipathy==
:''Main articles: [[Remorse]] and [[Anger]]''


<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hey! What's up everyone?
Anger, or ''tard rage'' as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality. Also notable is his lack of empathy, beyond the point where it can be autism-related.


<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Thank you for joining us, Chris. How are you today?
Chris uses apologies as a performative tool for making amends and not as a genuine expression of guilt.


<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> I'm doing good, how are you?
==Openness vs obstinacy==
In psychology, openness is a person's receptivity to new or unfamiliar experiences and ideas, including changes. 


<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> I'm co- ba- fine! Thank you! Uh, so uh, Easy, uh, has actually been quite a big fan of [[Sonichu]], for, for some years.
It is to be noted that no person is completely open to change and no person is completely against it. People tend to be open regarding views to things that don't matter to them and like to remain closed about topics that is close to them. Chris is no exception.


<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> I love Sonichu, I- I really do.
Chris is not very open to thoughts that differ from his, he rejects opinions and actual scientific facts if they do not match his beliefs. When he used to hate the LGBT community, he would reject anyone trying to convince him otherwise how much ever sense they made. He had also gone to the point where he rejected the fact that Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism just because he didn't like it.  


===Patreon Comics (0:01:14-0:03:03)===
His hatred for the xbox too was due to him being closed on the subject, how many ever great games and features people showed him on the xbox, he would reject it and fixate on minor flaws the system had.
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Support me on [[Patreon]], and I can send you copies of the books.


<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Dude.
However, after he came out as a transgender, he became much more open to the LGBT and accepted people as equals, but his obstinacy has merely shifted topics, for example he completely believes in the Dimensional merge and anyone telling him otherwise is rejected as a troll. He openly rejects proof that the merge isn't happening and cherry picks minor incidents that seem to support his agenda.


<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> (laughs)
A lot of his close mindedness can be blamed on his autism, as autistics are generally scared of change.


<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Dude, uh, for how- how- what's your, what's your base amount for Patreon?
==Chris and personality tests==
[[File:Personality quiz.jpeg|thumb|Chris chose the blue option]]
[[File:Miscpersonalitytestthing.jpg|thumb|Anudder one]]
[[File:This is Christine.png|thumb|another]]
Being a [[Twitter|social]] [[Facebook|media]] addict who also likes [[magical thinking]], it's no surprise that Chris is a fan of personality tests. He has taken many over the years, here are a few of them:


<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm. Well basically, minimim- just so I can make sure that I make can money- money the books are uh, varying, because, uh with my publisher minimum has to be 48 pages, and the more pages there are the more, the more expensive it is for me and then I have to pay shipping of course.  
*'''A Magic: The Gathering quiz''' to find out that he is most like the white color typing, as each color associated with certain personality traits, the white type is associated with law and order, being the good guy beating up the bad guy.<ref>[[August_2019_social_media_posts#Chris_takes_a_M:TG_quiz|Post in question]]</ref> This seems to indicate that Chris held to his idealistic views of good and evil, and wasn't being very true and honest in the test, since he is very anti-law when it stops him from doing what he wants.<ref>[[Chris_and_the_law#Legal_troubles]]</ref>


<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Right.
==Dissociative identity disorder==
Due to Chris's more recent behaviours, such as a belief in [[spirit possession]] and the manifestations of cartoon characters, Chris may indeed now have a mild trauma-induced strain of [[Wikipedia:Dissociative_identity_disorder|Dissociative identity disorder]], a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states.<ref>https://archive.is/cAquC Archived article on DID, Chris shows many of the indicators listed here</ref> This is most likely connected to manipulation from the [[Idea Guys]] and other traumas in his youth due to the mistreatment of those with ASD in a clinical and social environment. It is unknown how real the characters are to Chris, but he seems very adamant that they are real and manifest physically.


<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course.
The main indicators of '''DID''' that Chris displays are:
*'''Daydreaming''' - Chris often mentions daydreaming as a form of meditation, during which Chris can "visit Cwcville", Chris's [[cwcville|imaginary city]] where he is the overlord.
*'''Imaginary friends''' - Chris has a belief that all comic book characters are real people, as autonomous as any human, and that these characters exist in the real world and speak to him in his head.<ref>[[Magi-Chan]]</ref>
*'''Reality/Fantasy overlap''' - Chris not only believes that the fantasy world of cartoons is real, but that one day it will merge with reality, and that already characters like [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], [[Mewtwo]], and [[Magi-chan]] have manifested themselves physically.
*'''Transitional Objects as Self''' - Chris has often emotionally attached himself to objects, resulting in [[Tour_of_Chris%27s_House_III|hoarding]], but the place in which this behaviour is most prevalent is with his character Sonichu. Chris identifies as Mother (previously Father) of Sonichu, and indeed all Sonichus, which results in him being protective of them, causing making things like putting them in danger in the comics seem [[Chris and writing|immoral]] to him.
*'''Time Loss''' - Due to Chris's reportedly long daydreaming sessions, and poor memory associated with them, and his frequent and aggressive habit of lying it can be suspected that this is a result of DID.
*'''Ability to Cut Off from Pain and an Awareness of Danger''' - Chris's peculiar approach to emotional pain, namely that he'll randomly cut off from it totally, can be ascribed partially to ASD, but there is also a chance it is also a symptom from some form of '''DID'''. Chris will produce very random responses, trolls efforts to destroy things that are close to him<ref>[[Medallions#Mark_1_.28and_decoy.29|Like his first medallion]]</ref> or kill those close to him<ref>Such as several gal-pals, examples of whom are: [[PandaHalo]], [[Sarah May]] and [[Ivy]].</ref> sometimes result in Chris showing little to no signs of caring in the slightest.


<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, between from getting there, from getting from there to me and then, from me to the customer, urgh, so it compli- so I'm just the autographing, between, until I can find, uh, fine- like, a publisher or something that can, sell my books without the, uh, needing the middle person, [<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Right.] and uh, and not, and not be sabotaged.
With this evidence, particularly noting the trauma that Chris must have received from the Idea Guy's manipulations, and Chris's current beliefs about the existence of imaginary places and people, and their ability to possess him, one may conclude that Chris having a mild form of '''DID''' is likely.


<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Right.
==="Christian" vs "Christopher"===
For two days in [[August 2009]] Chris tried to convince [[Kacey]] and the rest of his fans that he had [[Wikipedia:Dissociative_identity_disorder|Dissociative identity disorder]], a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states. One of these "personalities" was named "Christopher" and the other named "Christian", as demonstrated in a [[30_August_2009|video]] from the time.  


<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Wonderful, but the so- so-
The video's original subject was quickly derailed by "Christopher", Chris's more "repressed" personality, by interrupting "Christian" mid-sentence, and having a free-flowing sentence with "Christian", something which is almost impossible for somebody with '''DID''' to do, due to usually not sharing memories, or surfacing at the same time. Chris did not end up managing to fool anyone into believing he had the disorder, and Kacey reprimanded him for pretending to have '''DID''' and lying to her. Chris apologised and said he made it up to "fuel" the trolls, which still leaves one to wonder why he tried to convince Kacey it was true.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> But in the meantime- but in the meantime, we have this- the Patreon.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Well, are those the, so those are just, prints?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm. Yeah they're, uh, they're printed of my original, hand drawn pages.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Do you still have the originals?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Oh yeah I still have the original p- hand drawn pages.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> That's great.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Chris, uh, let's say, I want, uh, issue 1 of Sonichu, how much money would it probably cost me? Let's say I live in America. Let's forget I live in Europe.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Ok. Well, first book is 0 by the way, but to get you book, but to get you book 1, uh, considering it's definitely closer to uh, 50 pages, um, I would add like, I mean, if it was from illus- from, directly I would add, two- I would- I mean minus the sh- not counting the shipping, yeah, that would be like, about 5 bucks.
 
===How Chris made Sonichu (0:03:03-0:05:54)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Alright wonderful. Um, I actually want to ask you, because, uh-as, everyone wants to know, as you are, uh, famous on the internet for, uh, Chris, is the creation of the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon character, Sonichu, your personal character. Would you like to tell us a bit about how, er you, created this character.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Mkay, uh, well back in uh, 2000, when I was ilvantin- still attending [[Manchester High School]], I was taking a computer graph- computer graphics, course, and uh, and they desi- we had to design our own custom CD insert, uh, front and back, and I wanted to, and I did want to include, Sonic and Pikachu, but um, they did not like copyright- well leuschy- my teacher didn't want copyright characters, so, I ended up merging the two and made Sonichu. But I did not, uh, it's Son- uh, I wanted to seperate, uh, seperate, my prime sonichu personality-wise, from, sonic and a wild Pikachu, of course. So, so I left the ears roll by and I- and I let him do the talking for me. we have kind of like a psychic connection, my characters and I.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Interesting.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Uh, Chris, uh I, of course, us as the creator of the character but you first started drawing the comic, many years later, during your college years, is that right?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, yes, during my early, college years, I s- started writing the comic book pages, I had drawn a few, little short strips which are actually in Book 0, as well. But I felt like ey let's, uh, suol- start doing co- my own comic book series now. I just felt like it, because, y'know, I had started with Sonichu then I- added Rosechu, and then I eventually added [[Blake]]- Black Sonichu, and uh, that was a good start for me and then, uh, I ended up making up [[Naitsirhc]], who was, adopted son of [[Giovanni]].
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes, which is your, your, of course your dark opposite. In the- in the comic's lore.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Or eventually to be cursed to become more my dark opposite.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh, alright, so he didn't- he didn't start out that way, this character?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, bu- yeah he was just essentially like a, Pokemon trainer, to rival against, Rosechu's trainer Kel, Which, uh, you find out- you find out more about their relationship in book 12, which, uh, I'm still, working on very much, I've finished up the, pride festival episode.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh! Wonderful! So, so you are actually still drawing the ca- the, uh, the comic.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> So, in Sonichu,
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> And I suppose you, sorry, go ahead, Merry.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Go ahead, Easy.
 
===Chris' Social Commentary (0:05:54-0:10:54)===
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Oh yeah, well in Sonichu, I noticed that there's, a lot of, y'know, commentary, on, y'know what's going on in the <i>world</i>, and like, things that matter to you, and the issues of like, like what's going on in the world, what kind of comments on the human condition were you trying to make, in the Sonichu series? And what are you try- what comments are you trying to make now, with these, uh, new issues?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, well, I pretty much just, commentary with, what's relatable to me and how I feel about, uh this and that. Although, pretty much going onto shwamean- in retrospect, we're still in this phase, where I had just come back from the future of 2015, and uh, and so it's still 2009, the books, but I can, actually input, pages, that, are actually more, up to today's date.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Right.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Ok.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> But- but to still to catch up we've still got [[Graduon]]'s introduction, about who he was, and all that, and, his coming back to earth in book 14.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Ok.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, but anyway, um, is there any specific, um, comments, from amongst my books that you can recall? In particular?
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Well, um, I did notice, that there, was um, a lot of it was things that were happening in your life? But then a lot of it was, um, s- I would almost go so far as to say as political. Um, like, with how you've felt about...
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> There is, um, of course, the...
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> H- how you felt about drugs? How you've felt about, um, homosexuality, and just people, in general who you, uh, [<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> The, the...] for lack of a better word, look down upon.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> There is, of course, the matter, uh, indeed, as Easy mentioned, that the comic, was a lot about, uh, your, real life, and the challenges, that you've faced, in- in your life.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Both past and present, Uh, a lot of it, uh, so for example, the, uh, manager, characters, the [[Slaweel]] character, which we'll- which was based on, uh, at least formally based on a person in your real life, who caused you trouble.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Um, I'm not sure if we can say that name, uh, just in case.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uuum, yeah, probably best not to.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course, um, s- d- w-wha at what moment did the comic stop being m-mainly about Sonichu, and more about your troubles, and the things that happen to you, specifically?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, I feel like it was kind of a miss, actually initially, because um, earlier in the books I was, pretty much very [[naive]], trying to feel it out, see what genres best suited my pages and whatnot, and, lk- also ended up, taking in the, random criticisms, which uh, realising I shouldn't. And to, talk about, uh, my past [coughs] excuse me, uh, that wasn't fun, that was something in my throat, but anyway, um, to talk about the, homosexuals, I was naive, and, there was all those mislabelings that was thrown, on me as, y'know before I c- actually came out as a lesbian trans-woman.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Right.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> That I was, uh, gay for men, but uh, [<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course.] of course that was never the case, just the, the trolls throw that mislabel on me, and, and also between that and a combination of where I was on my [[Love Quest|sweetheart search]] and, uh, I just had this, uh, frustrated, feeling about, and feeling against just, men in general, because I was like, they take all the women and leave me with none to choose from, but clearly, I eventually, realised that was, not the case especially when you consider the percentage of them being, taking each other, away from the equation. Anyway, I use that term lightly, usually though, I never ever actually had, anything against the homosexual males, my, uh, feelings were more, just, were more aimed at, uh, against, males in general that I used to have, and more- and more over the uh, mislabelings the trolls have thrown upon me. But, uh, I'm, fortunately I had, I have come out, and over the years I have become more, heartfelt and open, towards, uh, male, uh, towards men in general, but definitely I'm more attracted, to women and that still remained the same as always regardless of sexual orientation, and gender and whatnot. But, anyway, um, Ah! Lost my train of thought, got- gotta get back on track!
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> That's fine. We can, uh, I can ask you a follow-up question, if you'd like?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Mhm.
 
===Trans Story (0:10:54-0:13:43)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Uh, when did you start realising you were, transexual?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, yeah hm, transgender in this case, I mean look at what you ghe- there's a difference between transvestites and transgender, but I'm, trans- gender, transwoman...
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh of course! Sorry, I didn't know the difference.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> But anyway, I, uh, I also went to the, short, two page coming-out story in the, uh, that I have just uploaded in the up to my Patreon, I, uh, did a lot of soul searching and self-realisation throughout my lifetime, I- I get quite deep in thought, into myself, and explore myself from within, and, and- eventually I, uh, flicked- I put two together when I, saw an image of my head of me in my past life, as a woman, in my later years where beforehand I had gone to [[Wikipedia:Woodstock|Woodstock]], but i-w- that which the, uh, image that I saw I had drawn right on the second page of this little two page coming out write up, draw up, anyway, that's pretty much how, how it was, like y'know somewhere in the late- in the late seventies there was this grey-haired woman with the braids, wearing a rainbow tie dye dress, looking at- lay- me- sitting against a tree with her beaded bag, just, uh watching the sun set. And uh, anyway I saw that, and, just put it all together with, everything in my mind, in my memories, and of course, uh, in my younger years, I, actually exhibited, feminine, more feminine habits than masculine. And, so I put- so anyway, all the realisation, and, pru- and, real- and, yeah, came out as a lesbian transwoman.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Alright.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> How, um, how'd, how's your- and I don't know if this is too personal, if it is, we can cut it out, how does your [[mother]] feel about all that?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, initially my mother was, quite put off by it, but, a little bit at a time as I dressed more fede- more feminine, and acted more feminine she got used to it, though she still calls me by my old name "Christian", and still refers to me as her son, and I'm just gonna leave that only for her to, do that y'know because she's like in her- in her mid 70s right now,
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Absolutely.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> I- I- It's just difficult to get all- to get used to the change, the name change, also, and the gender change, even though I had passed the psyc- psychological evaluation, and had my name legally changed, and changed both of those on my driver's licence.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Ok.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Nice.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And the- and then I got on the, [[Wikipedia: Hormone_replacement_therapy|HRT]].
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Chris, uh, ok, uh Chris, I wanted to get into something that we, uh, agreed to talk about before, that's been going on on your [[Twitter]] right now.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes.
 
===Barb's Begging with Bling (0:13:43-0:16:59)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> But first, uh, because you mentioned Barbara, uh, which is your mother, Barbara Chandler? Is that right? That the correct name?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Ok, I just want to ask you, because, I believe it was about a week or two ago, uh, you uploaded a, [[YouTube]] video, uh, which was, uh, your mother, Barbara, asking for [[Chris and money|donations]], uh, for food, uh, i-i-is she quite alright? Because a lot of people were a bit concerned about that video.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, yes that was about a month or two ago, um, second half of the month, so I mean we're on fixed income, so, like, y'know, between like, the 15th to the 30th or the 31st, it, tends to get more difficult for us financially, we have to, buckle down, we eat- mostly stay at home- we [[McDonalds|try]] mostly to eat at home anyway, aside, from y'know the beginning of the month where we can [[Autism|splurge]] a little bit.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> [Bewildered] Right.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> [Not paying attention] Right.

<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, and, bu- but anyway, health-wise, my mother is doing ok, physically- she's physically able, she, tends to stay in bed, alo- a lot, because, uh, she, kinda tends to get, bored? But she- she's been on meal replacement shakes, and she has been, enuh- she has been able to do, more physically, she, went outside trimmed the [[china|bushes]] on her own accord and decision, and it was like, she trimmed that bush so far down! And it was like oh my God, mom, don't kill the bush.
 
[They all laugh]
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And I told her about what else that [[Chris and work|she could do]], like, um, she wants to do something for the, uh, cluttered, junk that's on our back porch, [Both: right] a- a lot of it's  a sore, anyway, so take it out, put it on the curb for the trash people.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Right.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Ok. Uh, Chris, I want to ask you, also a thing, this is not a critique, uh, at all, [<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> [getting defences up] alright] and we can skip it if you like, however, uh, a lot of people have been wondering about, like, uh, in the video where you ask for food, your mother is actually wearing a pearl necklace, and a gold, necklace, uh, chain. Have you considered, uh, selling these?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, yeah, she ha- y'know like, months ago she sold her original gold, Cleopatra style necklace, for, like a few hundred bucks, uh, but then I was- but then I was like, uh- my mo- ah I've always wanted the necklace, she never took that necklace off, that was her favourite, necklace. So- uh, much later on, uh, I did come across a, few other dollars, I forge- I forget where, exactly? I think it was, uh, I think it was a generous donation or a really big sale, oh wait- now I remember it was the sale of the [[Sonic Totem]] pole
hm, yeah I sold that to somebody for a few hundred bucks, but anyway, from that I went and bought a, I went and replaced her, gold Cleopatra necklace and told her: "Let's not sell this one!"
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Hah. That's nice of you, that's very kind of you, Christine.
 
===Fangirling about Bob (0:16:59-0:19:27)===
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Um, you know, speaking, toward your, family, and- and things like that, um, could you tell us about your [[Bob Chandler|father]]? I mean he seems like a really stand up, y'know respectable guy.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes, he was, he was a very smart person, he uh, he served in the- he served in the uh US army, he was stationed in, uh, Seoul Korea in the Signal Corps.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Wow.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And he uh, he went to uh, coll- and he made friends with lots of the- with the, Koereans, and start- and y'know, Seoul, Korea, uh, and did he meet some from the north? I'm not sure, but anyway that was a long time ago with him, anyway he uh, was also in the scouts and he earned his share of badges, and, uh, he was also like, uh, a scout master type figure for, uh- some of the scouts, they made him the wall[?] that he's always carried around. And he was- and he was stapled for that but anyway, um, he designed the controls for the. plastic moulding machines and steel mills, saw mills when he was at- when he was working for [[Wikipedia:General_Electric|General Electric]], and this is nice to go onto this little bit of commentary, because today is his birthday- Hw would have been...
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Oh! Wow! Happy Birthday!
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, he would've been, like uh, shoot- 84? Huh! I guess he would have been, uh, 90, 91 this year.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Wow.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Well, um, actually, well, yeah 90, because uh, he was born in '27, and this is '17. That works, yeah that's right. 90, nine-zero, but anyway, um, he was very smart, and, well, elle- and, well, [[Wikipedia: Irony|eloquent]], um, and, and he was a strong and able fella, he had a workshop, he, did his own woodwork, here and there also, where y'know, he, made- y'know just put things together for himself, whatever, um, and, w- anyway he was quite t-more, enable, and he taught- he raised me on, the music of the uh, like the uh, 20s, 30s, 40s, including the- and the musicals, featuring [[Wikipedia:Gene_Kelly|Gene Kelly]].
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Ooh.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, so goes way back, yeah- I like all kinds of music, uh, just not the, [[Brutal_Legend|heavy metal]] where, this- where the, singer is quite, incoherent.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Right.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> It's just, it's just really [[Stress|stressful]] from, [[Wikipedia: Baby_boomers|do they call that music?]]
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> I believe they do. I'm pretty sure
 
[Chris laughs, regressively]
 
===Video Game Tangent (0:19:27-0:19:57)===
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, but I mean not to criticise, everybody who enjoys that type of music, and, aha, like, I thought, y'know- to even to, just bring in [[Chloe]] I just started playing the new [[Life is Strange]] video game wherein her, where, we're playing as Chloe, and it's here before [[Max]] came back, it's pretty good so far. Anyway
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Anyhoo,
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Yeah, I saw that game, it looked pretty interesting.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, hm, and I did enjoy the, uh, first game all throughout.
 
===Bob Tributes (0:19:57-0:23:09)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Chris, I just want to ask you, have you seen some of the internet tributes, that were made in honor of your father? During- uh, after his death? My condolences, by the way.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, thank you, um, no I ha- no, I haven't uh, because I'm still in the trans- I'm still in the emotional mental transition, uh, [<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course] between where, I couldn't tell the difference between the trolls, and the fans, but now, I am, more uh, like there, they're a whole entire group as long as they are talking about me one way, or another, their, uh, they at least still like me in one aspect. [<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course] And that's another thing, the comments, on, the haters, who, don't really know, or, refuse to, express their feelings, in love, or anything Huggy-feely like that, haha, they're probably, just squeamishing right now just as I said that. Huh, but anyway, they express their love and like, other ways as well, it's just more in tu- just more like in body language and like, you know, one worded subtle, cues like [[Wikipedia: Tsundere|"Hm, yeah, whatever"]] and-
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And that could be interpreted as "thank you" among which, by the way, yeah, but- but still, respect them for, s- for showing love the way they do, just y'know, on the internet they, may not be so, cussy-fussy...
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course, uh, Chris, I just want to tell you, um, while, a lot of trolls, who have obviously come after you, have done it for horrible reasons, a lot of them have tried to ruin your life, and a lot of people really, rather dislike them for that, because a lot of people do find you to be a very interesting person, and I think the majority of us felt very sad about your father's passing. Um, and- and if you ever one day feel like you, you could get a good laugh, then you might want to take a look at the different tributes and fan-art that people made when your father passed away, uh, I know at least one, YouTube video that, uh, put me a little bit, uh, to tears. He was lovingly called the Internet [[Lumberjack]], because of that one time where he threatened to cut down your  internet.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes, um, yes I'm aware of that meme.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes, it was, um, completely, in- in love of your father, it was, not at all, meanly meant, or anything like that. So my condolences, and, uh, if you want to check your- your- your inbox, right there on- on- on discord, I've sent you a piece of fan-art of your father, knocking in the doors to heaven, with a rainbow in the background, saying "Get away from that internet! [[Bob_Walks_In|I'm cutting it down!]]"
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Heh, huh, oh my gosh.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> [Laughs] So, maybe you can enjoy that a little bit, but, yes of course, congratulations on your father's birthday.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Thank you.
 
===Twitter Blocking Saga (0:23:09-0:33:40)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Uh, of course, I want to move on a little bit from- from that rather sad note, uh, block the trolls, not the heros, your hashtag, uh, your current Twitter campaign, where you uh, talk about getting blocked by various people,do you want to talk to us a little bit about that? Maybe tell us what it's about?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Ok, well, I'll try to make the long story short, and go into mentioning, [[DoopieDoOver]], over on [[Planet Dolan]], and then Lazycast, I mean all things aside, she's still quite alright, kind, upstanding person just as her- just has her emotional flaws, but I look, I look over that, and I just feel for her, because I felt, I feel in my self aha, not often drunk, but I mean it's cool, it's her thing, it's her need, there, she do what she do, but anyway, um, so, so- so before that started, uh, another one on plane- another one on the PLanet Dolan crew mentioned national [[Sweetheart|girlfriend]] day on her Twitter, so I saw that, so after I saw that I was like "oh, I should actually be able to meet, uh, actually make acquaintance of all these fam- uh, all these famous people" I mean yes <i>mostly [[boyfriend free girl|women]],</i> but I mean, it's not like I don't like, my share of males as well, but I mean I like Kelsy Grammer and Jerry Seinfeld, among which, but anyway, so, w'e- like you know, in the sense that they're not my, I mean- In the sense that they're not my, we're not in a relationship, or we're not totally, we aren't totally friends yet, but, still I just appreciate, just, being able to communicate with them, in my life. I was just vastly misunderstood, for like "Oh! Yeah sweethearts, everything", no, no. But anyways, so, with that the trolls started harassing- saying Doopie- after I made the, post and tagged her amongst a few others, um, but anyway so she started getting harassed, poor thing, on her Patreon, and definitely on her Twitter, and then she, came and attacked me, she felt like I was doing the harassing to her, I mean, it was just misunderstood, I mean, on anoth- on her other Patreon page, which that one was [[Mass debating|NSFW]], I just, I lent her a bit of s- support like, you know, just one little suggestion! About to one to maybe between [[Vinyl Scratch|Vinyl]] and [[https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Octavia_Melody Tavi]] in human forms, haha, that's aba- that's a good, that's, probably the [https://www.pinterest.co.uk/nadine_finney/soarin-and-rainbow-dash-ship/ best ship] in the whole MLP series, uh, but anyway, uh, aside, yeah, so I was being supportive, and I was meaning to be kind, I, did not, I, did not mean to be harassing or offensive in any way, but, poor Doopie, she just, took it that way, and eventually she blocked me on Twitter, but, it was not I who was doing the harassing, because, if I was, I would have been more, y'know, I guess I probably would have cursed more, or I would have, uh, commented, uh, like, you know, "please be kind, please reconsider, I'm not harassing you" I hardly ever said all that, but trolls were like "Oh, here we go again, Chris is harassing this poor girl, oh Doopie! You should block Chris here, he is totally harassing you!" and I mean that was not the case, it's just that the trolls were just throwing that label, onto me, and eventually Doopie blocked me.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Wow.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes, and I believe it was [[Vinyl_Scratch#Nowacking|Nowacking]] who also blocked you?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, that was- that was the, uh, third one, I'll get to her shortly, but then uh, a little while later, because uh, she was getting uh, we- uh, ear of the insults because they forgot to untag her from the- from that argument in the comments tab of the senjume who voices [[https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Rarity Rarity]] on [[My Little Pony]], and also Luna, [[https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Princess_Luna Princess Luna]], "We must speak in the royal we!" haha, but any- but anyway did like- I did like her, fight too and, uh, and I told her that I will- that I- that I will practice, uh, untagging and if I end up leav- uh, if I end up, leaving a tag, then just my mistake, like I forget, another one recently, with the trolls, commented on, but that's uh, a whole different kettle of fish right there, but anyway so- but anyway so shortly after Tabatha thanked me for, uh, y'know, for promising to, untag, dir- the ones that are not involved in the argument, yeah it was like shortly after this I guess she was still getting harrased by the  trolls, at my expense, and so she blocked me on Twitter.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes. So...
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Ok and yes, uh, so now we will talk, now we are gonna talk about, Nowacking, Jessie Nowacking, who I really appreciate, being the voice of Vinyl scratch on YouTube, at least, no- that's, now that's still a very awesome person I feel I've, uh, I'm [[Blanca|good]] at [[Julie|analysing]] a [[Ivy|person]] from what they um, what they say like, just, not to be judgemental or anything, but it's just like, y'know, just to put uh, personality aspects in there, but anyway, so, she wanted to- she was just- talking, shooting off, the uh, just- shooting off her mind a little bit, she wanted t- uh "How about I offer some of my own input advice from online dating sites, like, I'd listen to that." And then she, put six portions of like, uh, where, these were like, y'know, like, If I said it then it's not cool, but if she said it then that's cool, so then she put her response to that, but, between those things I commented, I mana- I even managed to splice together the, uh, the central type, of a woman that, apparently she may, or may not have been, getting, a lot of comments of relationships from past relationships, just putting the s in the parentheses, there, with and uh, she kinda fell flat from there, and uh, and then the trolls took that from, took from that and, once again threw the "harassing" label onto me, and then, Jessie, kinda blocked me there, and that, was just like that really upset me, and it still upsets me that I'm still blocked by Doopie, Tabatha and Nowacking, but it's like, I'm pray- I'm praying that they will realise that, yeah it was not me who did the harassing, but the trolls, and on my one alt account I did have the, put up the screen capture from, all those, uh past, comments, uploaded them onto there.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Well, you can think of this as kind of like a platform, to kind of address them directly. Like if you were to speak them directly, like what you would say.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, although for- although for this little move that I recently did by uploading the past, I took that from Leslie Jones, I've seen that on WatchMojo top 5 video of these five celebrities were cyberbullied, yeah Leslie Jones is number 3 and the way she countered them, like: "I'll tell you what! Yeah you give me the bullying and the harassing I'm gonna retweet that, and show every- showing everyone how punk-ass you are, and how block-worthy YOU should be, you damn internet bully!"
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Wow. Thats...
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> But- but- but- but I did- I did like Leslie Jones on Saturday Night Live and Ghostbusters 2016.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Yeah.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh, you've watched it, have you? Ghostbusters.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Right. Oh, yeah
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> I liked it, I don't care what anybody says, I like it.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Ok.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> That's good.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> You're supposed to like whatever movie you like, it's not about what other people think.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Anyway, uh, Chris, I want to ask you, uh, following up a little bit on the, uh, the matter of the, uh, troll thing, it is clear, by this point that you are very used to trolls coming after you and attacking you in various matters, whenever you post anything, have you gotten, sort of immune to it? Have you stopped caring about it?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, back to that, uh, just- alright, just we'll get to that- answering that question but I just want to backtrack a little bit, [<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Go ahead.] because I forgot to mention, um, I mean who's doing more harassing? Me? Or the trolls on the internet? I mean, I've been the victim of these trolls for, since like 2007, and they're now throwing the harassing label onto me, And they're the ones coming at you more than I would- ever would, because there are multiple people and I'm just one person, so- it's like, who do you block? The uh, [[ego|hero]], victim? That's actually more k- that's actually more often to be more kind and underst- and compassionate and all that? Or do you block the, number of those, in the internet trolls that should not be ba-bang ba-bang ba-bang ba-bang ba-bang- harassing.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Right.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, but anyway that was, what that was, what that was about, um, now the other question, uh, shoot, it just slipped out my mind, uh, could you repeat the question, please? The, the new one.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> It actually slipped my mind as well, um, uh, oh yes, of course, regarding the, uh, many trolls, you have.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Oh yeah! The immunity, um...
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes. Are you immune to it?
 
===Chris' Troll Immunity (0:33:40-0:34:33)===
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, um, for the latter I would say that I have become mostly immune, to their hatred, I have a- I have a mental emotional shield against their feedback. It doesn't always work, because I, tend to fall, emotionally it's- I'm still only, I'm still only human, but, but for the latter I have, do to to try to block the, uh, hate, those criticisms, those comments from affecting me, deep.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes. Well, I can imagine, since you mentioned you've bee the victim of trolling since 2007, uh, I- I'd imagine that you would already be like, you've already heard the most horrible things anyone could ever say to you. I can't imagine much, for you to imagine, hurting you.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Mhm.
 
===Trolling IRL (0:34:33-0:36:27)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Regardless, um, you've obviously, as mentioned, become, um, the target of multiple trolling, uh, campaigns, I'm sure anyone who is familiar with your name will know at least a few of these campaigns, uh, have you ever? Well, you- well you've obviously encountered a few trolls in your real life, as well, uh, do you have any stories, you'd like to share?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, encountering trolls in wh- in real life, well, first off one where the troll was definitely have, foot, on the webpage, not gonna name them specifically, but the one where, yeah, this, uh, this was one of my theoretical ex-girlfriends, did turn out to be a woman, came to visit and meet me in Virginia, my father wa- my father was there as well, this was long before he passed on, anyway, so it was a nice little, get together, apparently, the uh, then the troll was hiding, nearby with the camera just recording- d'our, conv- the, the events between the three of us, uh, her, my father and I, and then she and I, uh, walked off together and and then we were intercepted by, this guy in a pickle suit, pickle costume, [Merryweathery bursts out laughing and tries to stifle it] and it was like, I was strung up, by that, and then, uh, I didn't know what to think, but eve- but then eventually she walked off to her car with the guy in the pickle suit escorting her, and I was like "Oh my Go-" and I was like "Oh my God, what the hell was that?"
 
[Laughing]
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Top ten anime betrayals.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> I'm very sorry for laughing, Chris, you must imagine, in retrospect it's a bit funny.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> [Not finding it in the least bit funny] Yeah, kinda funny, especially when you've go the adult definition of how a pickle can be interpreted.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes [giggles].
 
===Chris and Pickles (0:36:27-0:37:45)===
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> But really I, but really that's- well, that is one of the aspects that turns me off from, the vegetable, what really turns me off from the vegetable, is actually the taste and the flavour, and yes I have eaten pickles before, you know off of, a, burger or a sandwich, it just, it doesn't suit that, pickle brine doesn't suit me well, yeah.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> What about Kosher? How do you feel about Kosher pickles? As opposed to Dill?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, never- I also kinda never tried kosher.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> They're pretty good, that's the one that I like better.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> I'd sample it, see how it tastes...
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Yeah, it's worth a try.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> It's good that you're, open to new things, at least. So, the- the man in the pickle suit which has been kind on an infamous situation, of cou- of course the video that was leaked, from your date. Um, now, now I like to ask, have you encountered the man in the pickle suit more than once? Or is that the only time?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um I'm not sure, I think that was, um, uh, I think there might have been another time where, outside of the pickle suit he came back to Virginia and, we, and we just hung out for a little bit, but I- know- that's I'm not 100% sure but I mean I do- I do know, who he, is.
 
===The MIPS redemption arc (0:37:45-0:38:22)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh, ok then, so you've actually met the man inside of the pickle suit?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, outside of the pickle costume.
 
[Merry laughs again]
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Right.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Is he, is he friendly, to you then?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, Kinda, um kinda, yes and no, I want to say, because um, he yeah, he's  contacting me on Twitter again, I was like "I vaguely remember him, but I couldn't really say, I just remember exactly why", and now I do, because he was the guy in the pickle suit.
 
===The Magical Man's Identity (0:38:22-0:39:30)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course, the-the-there are several situations, um, of course, where um, standard videos from your previous channel, and, uh, of course there's extensive archives on the internet of various videos of yours, that you uploaded once to your channel and they got deleted, or maybe you deleted them, or something like that. But there's one video which you uploaded once, which features a man, a-a young guy, a young, decent looking man, who is- is acting with you and joining in a comedy skit where you drank a potion and became this man, um, a lot of people, were very curious of who this guy was, was it a family friend? Do you remember who I'm talking about?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, eh, uh Yeah, I know who you're talking about, he, actually, he actually was a friend of mine and another- a friend of mine and [[Kim|one of my gal pals]], who actually lives in the Charlottesville area, not gonna [[:File:Chris_vs_Kim_Wilson_Oct_2017.png|name any names]], but yeah, he was a friend, and he's currently, uh, he's currently married and very, uh well-to-do I haven't talked to him in a very long time though.
 
===Virginia is for Virgins (0:39:30-0:40:59)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh, ok, he's currently married, then? That's very nice, well, uh, [[Virginia is for Virgins|Virginia is for lovers]], after all?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Um, you- you you're [[Cwcville|fictional version]] of Virginia, is of course, uh, is, uh very much centred around your [[Love Quest]], and and um, [<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah.] I believe it was um, did you make some different version of the, Virginia is for lovers, handle?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Ye- Yeah, I said Virginia was for virgins, but now that's not the case, I'm [[Mia Hamm|not a virgin anymore]], not for- not be- not been that way for a few years now, but anyway, uh. 
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Congratulations.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Yeah.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Thank you but a- thank you but anyway, um, so pretty much, uh, so that's an outdated thing anyw- just an old outdated joke, right now.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course, of course. Well, I-it's still entertaining to still look back at those old  things, I'm sure you'll- I'm sure you must, uh, do you ever just read the old issues of Sonichu? [<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah.] And think- just think to yourself, "wow" at those times?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Definitely yes, I mean I have my own set of the printed books, as well as the, original pages, and also, it amazes me that, uh, uh, I've increased and I've definitely improved my drawing skills from book 0 up to now.
 
===Anime (0:40:59-0:43:21)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes. At one point during your comic's history you started drawing with a little bit of an [[anime]] style, do you like anime, Chris?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes I like anime.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Which ones?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, I'll name a few of my favourites off the top of my head like [[Sailor Moon]], um, I did also enjoy the first season of Futari wa PuriKyua, also known as Pretty Cure in [[Chris and English|American language]], uh...
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Ok.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Lemme think a moment, um, [internet conection problems]
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> [[Excel Saga]]?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, oh yeah, Excel Saga, yeah that was a- yes that was a crazy fun anime. I def- feel like it's- although people may say otherwise I think it's- I think it's [[Autism|better]] than [[Wikipedia: FLCL|Fooly Cooly]]. Yeah
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> [Having just heard an atrocity] Oh really? I'm a huge fan of Fooly Cooly so I should check that out. Would actually want to know...
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah I've seen all six episodes. Of that, of the original, I'm still waiting on th- I'm still waiting to watch the, reboot of that, and uh, also I did enjoy [[Wikipedia: Inuyasha|Inuyasha]] and, [[Wikipedia:Cowboy_Bebop|Cowboy Bebop]].
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Uh, Chris, if you had an animation budget, like let's say you had, um, a big animator team, and, y'know production team, at your disposal what kind of, y'know, film, like I know obviously you'd probably want to make a cartoon, what would you, y'know produce? Would you, like wanna animate Sonichu? Or, or what would you like to do?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, not fully decided, yet, um, I kinda think I'd like to have it, something in the line of the art style being a modern cartoon- Oh! Now I remember, um, something on the level, um, of the original Teen Titans series? Not, Teen Titans Go, though, uh, something on that level, um, and then also, yes, um- um- um- also the animation of [[My Little Pony]]: Friendship is Magic, so it's some, um, some combination in between those two.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Any animation teams out there, listening, contact us, contact Chris.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Probably contact them directly, because I wouldn't be able to tell the difference [between a troll and a real company].
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Haha that's true.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And then, and then they can relay, and [[ego|sort it all out for me]].
 
===Julie Trip (0:43:21-0:45:16)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Absoloutely, of course, well in-in the past, I believe, you were contacted by, well at least someone claiming to be [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] from Nintendo?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, that was an obvious prank, my mom and I, we saw this all the time, we actually made plans, we almost made plans for the trip, but my father, in his wisdom, was like "No, too much, don't go." and- and then, we didn't go.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Have you ever been tricked into going places, like that?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, yeah the one time I was tricked by a [[Julie|theoretical ex-girlfriend]], uh, I drove all the way up to Cleveland, Ohio, definitely was a dead end, out there, but y'know, the dr- the uh, drive and my sou- and my, uh, soul s- and my, all my self, deep thinking, throughout, it was, good to get away from the h- get away from the house, in that sense, day, forth and back, trip, took all day.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> What happened when you turned up to the location, and she wasn't there?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, yeah, old lady d- answered the door, and I was like "was that girl there?" and she was like "No, nobody lives here" and I was like "Ok, thank you, have a good day." and just printe- pretty much just went back to the car, disappointed and, then I made my way back home.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Right.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And uh, and this was shortly after, the- my, uh, [[Aunt Corrina]]'s funeral, also, that's all a different- that's a whole different kettle of fish, but that's nouwe- how I remember when this happened.
 
===Trolls Chris misses (0:45:16-0:48:40)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Right, you've obviously had a lot of different kind of, uh, internet [[sweethearts|love interests]], uh, I believe most of them turned out to be trolls, uh...
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> In the later times, unfortunately, of course, um, is there any, um any of them you actually miss?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, um, I have, um, miss, 'em, hm... uh, I guess uh, yeah, uh, I miss um, I miss like 2, or 3 or 4 of them, uh, not to name anybody right now.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course, uh, very well, um, other than that, to speak a little about the trolls thing, because that's obviously been, that- that- I don't mean to focus solely on that, you are more than just, a trolling victim, or course, but it is, obviously, a very interesting part of you, uh, Chris, it is- it is a very big part of your internet presence, it's your fight with the trolls! Your epic battle! Lasting years, and years and years, with these troll people who keep messing with you, um, have you ever? The- and- and- and in this time, professional animators have made, uh, like Sonichu, animated openings on YouTube, uh, a- a- a- uh, particular animator YouTuber, uh, I can't really remember the name right now, he made like a Sonichu label, uh...
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, send me a link, uh I'll watch it later.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course, of course, have you ever [[Recycling|consumed?]]- my question- Have you every consumed any of the troll content that you actually liked?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, um, ye- um, yes and no, I have to s- I think, uh, any that I actually would consider a favourite, that I would actually consider as inspiration, as a part of the, of the clip of their web- of the event, the one, the 5- 5 t- to 10 page short comic about Sonichu and [[Rosechu]]'s wedding.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Ok.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And I have, uh, printed that out and read through that for my reference, ah, between where [[Bubbles]] was wearing her red dress and it fell off because she became instantly wet[?], and there's something about a rabbit's foot in there.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> I see, so that's something- that's something you like.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, that's, uh, one thing, but, really I prefer- uh, feel better with, uh fan comics and drawings, uh, that's generally put with- heart and lave into it, and respect to, [<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes.] the original work. But- uh, but y'know, save for, television- save for, like, y'know, TVY7, uh, I guess, at a certain point, if you want to go up to the uh, TV14 range, you just don't want, you just, it's not- totally t- I mean Sonichu, who I have delved, into rating f- the mature rating, but that's not the main fo- that's not the main deal, of the stories.
 
===Shonichu's Mature Content (0:48:40-0:49:38)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yeah, it's [[Sonichu 8|not a part of the actual issues]], it's more like small bonuses, correct?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes, yeah, someti- it's just somewhere in between, uh, Y7 and 14, uh, ss- as if I were to, If I were to put it analysis to that,uh, just some content to- maybe suh- they're gonna learn about it on the streets eventually, like, you know, definitely in book 12 the SLGBTQ community, and transgenders, and whatnot, I hope that- I hope that they're teaching that in schools, as well.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Th- yes, but, do you consider- I'm sorry, [<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Oh, yeah.] Ok. Well I- I- I'd love to personally go to the- to go to the, uhh... To go to the library and see a Sonichu comic there, that would be, interesting.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Or the- or Barnes and Noble, and see a Sonichu comic, that would be am- like, uh, like awesome.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Honestly, honestly, to be completely [[honest]], I don't think, it's, impossible?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Thank you.
 
===The Heart-Wrenching Elevator Scene (0:49:38-0:52:42)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course, um, Chris, I just want to ask you, um regarding, uh, the Sonichu, uh, there's obviously the whole, you- you- you- you've spent a lot of the older Sonichus on the fight with the trolls, against these troll characters, who make these appearances, uh, of course [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc]], your, uh, rival character, which was your dark version of yourself, was in fact gay-
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Hold on just a second-
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> He was a homosexual, uh, during the death of this character, uh, along with, uh, I believe it was another character, you actually had a moment, in the comic, where you, almost vindicated them in a way, they held each other's hands and said "we won't die to his hands"- referring to your character, in the comic, uh, and jumping down an elevator shaft, di- di- do- di- was that, uh, a bit of remorse? For killing these characters, who, were, of course, who were your enemies? You- you kind of humanised them, these villains, in- in a brief moment.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, yes, and plus also- and plus also in that same book, just to, uh, bring it up, uh, the original- back- the original, from the vaccine that I injected the vaccine into Reldnahc, I turned him back into Naitsihc, um, I mean, yeah, in book 12 I re-evaluated that, and y'know, repurposed that like y'know to remove his hatred, and d'uh to prevent a sooner coming of a- of an army of hate, an- and of course originally it was the anti-gay- like it was sort of to remove the homosexuality within him. But, but the I've come around and that's- and so I did my editing- and- which was definitely doable and well- long before we got the print of book number 10 there, so, that's all good there, and then book t- and then book 12 I just wanted to say, aside from it being, like, y'know, the pride festival, and all the, lesbian transwoman-ness of myself and [[Roberta]] Sonichu, within it, uh, I also badly, want to could that, as a sincere apology, and love-letter, to everybody in the SLGBTQ communities, because, uh, I was, uh, [naive], and I was under different impressions, but I have become more [[Chris and reality|mature]] and more [[Chris's education|educated]] better now, so, hopefully- it's- it's nice ya'll we're, I do appreciate ya'll's [[kindness]] in the communities, and uh, I uh just pray that we can- let- by- that we can [[Chris_and_his_ego#Entitlement|forget]] that [[Homos#Past_homophobia|one, or two instances]] in my past books, where I was more naive, and then we can move forward.
 
===Fan Designs (0:52:42-0:54:11)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course. I'm sure- I'm sure most people, wouldn't really mind, in the first place, um, uh, anyway, uh, going back a little bit to your comic, and you mentioned before that you prefer when people actually- when people are making fan content, of your comic, that you prefer, um, staying, uh, sticking to the original, um designs and plans you had for the comic rather than making something different, there is of course a very, kind of famous, alternate designs of one of your characters which is [[Slaweel]], where she is instead drawn... uh, Slaweel in the comic, just to give a little bit of a reference, is a- an old- an old witch-like woman-
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> But, in these fan drawings, she is a busty, uh, blonde, uh, very attractive young woman, what do you think about this?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Those pieces, I'd say "alright! That could be a younger version of her!" haha.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Pft, alright.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> But, uh, on fan-art, I wanna just say, um, yeah wha- offering respect to the original work- and I do encourage [[ego|everybody]] do their own fan-art, uh, y'know, all due respect, but, you don't have to be a prege- gore-head and dive into, uh, alternate theories and fan-fiction, that's all good.
 
===Painting the White House Black (0:54:11-0:55:49)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Is there anything that you, uh, did, like any choices you made in the previous issues of Sonichu that you regret?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, anything updated, the previous choices, um...
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Like, um, plots or characters, or the things that happened in the comic that you, uh, particularly regret?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, uh, yeah, definitely one, that, my father, had done when Obama was running for president-
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh, the one with him painting the house black? The Whitehouse black?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, that w- yeah, that was my father's misrep- misinterp- [sigh], uh, well not to go further, to what he was thinking at the time, my father but, he is- uh he's said "Hey Chris- um, Hey Christian, you should definitely draw this, at least for me" and I was like "Oh my gosh, I don't wanna do this I like [[Chris_and_politics#2008-2012|Obama]], I watched the A&E biography and actually [[Trolls|related]] to him. Y'know and empathy and, there was y'know similarities, and yeah a social outcast and whatnot. And, well, all shame befall me I drew it anyway and I put it in the triple-X version of, uh, book number 8, and I still regret that, it- that little bit- that, one thing in the long, 70 plus story elevator ride.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes, uh, of the, uh, [[4-cent_garbage.com|9-cent-garbage], which was of course, a reference to 4-chan.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, 4-cent-garbage, not 9.
 
===Return of 4-Cent-Garbage.com (0:55:49-0:57:20)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh, 4- 4-cent-garbage. Um, very well, yes, um, s- is there any chance of this 4-cent-garbage coming, uh, making a return? In your comic?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, nobody in par- nobody specifically in particular, actually yes there has, uh, [[Graduon]], when after- uh, before coming back to work, and uh actually when he had come back to work, he has uh, actually taken the minds of they- of the people who have a computer, and they start spreading hate and, hurtful comments all over the, um, internet, and then hu-it pretty much, to uh, make- in his quest to make love of all kinds, even between man and woman in ge- make love, in general, illegal because uh, yeah, as it was expressed he never could never feel love EVER, even in his original lifetime, and even onward into him, just being a wandering spirit, t- 'till what he does- find, his body, in that crowd of his possessed [[jerkops]] and goes from the [[Metal Sonichu]] body to that.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Alright. So I was interested...
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> there's a for- there's a mild spoiler.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> I'll- I'll- I'll look forward to reading it, just need to he- Easy, are you back yet?
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Oh, yeah yeah I'm here.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Do you have any questions for Chris before we go into the lightning round?
 
===Sonic Games (0:57:20-0:57:54)===
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Uh, yeah, um, how do you feel about, um, Sonic 25th anniversary, and [[Wikipedia: Sonic_Mania|Sonic Mania?]]
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> I liked Sonic Mania, I played it through.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Cool, yeah, uh, it looked pretty fun. What about, uh, 25th Anniversary?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, it's geat- cool, 25th Anniversary is great, and I did like, Sonic twe- 2006, despite anybody- and what anybody says, and despite the glitches.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> W-right, did you make it through the- [coughs] excuse me, the whole, game? Like you played through the whole thing?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes. Yeah.
 
===Twitch.tv (0:57:54-0:58:34)===
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Have you ever considered, like, maybe doing letsplays? Maybe at [[Twitch]]?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, that has come to mind- that has come to mind, but, it's- I don't know, it's just beyond me on how to set it- set all that up at the moment.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> I mean, um, you could just, like have the s-stream of the game, going, like, while you're just talking to us, like right now, um, I would watch it.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, uh, I tried that with, uh, Destiny, but, had trouble with the microphone, the s- obviously my voice did not make it through into the, uh, final video that was uploaded.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Aw man.
 
===Bronycon 2017 (0:58:34-0:59:58)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Uh, tell us about [[Bronycon]], Chris.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Oh yes I had an awesome time at Bronycon, I was met with a whole lot of true, honest, sincere, kindness and love, it was, very refreshing, and, got to meet [[Wikipedia: Cathy_Weseluck|Cathy Weseluck]], and uh, [[Wikipedia: Kelly_Sheridan|Kelly Sheradin]], took me a while to memorise her last name, Sheradin [It's actually [[autism|Sher<font color="#FF0000"><u>i</u></font>d<font color="#FF0000"><u>a</u></font>n]]], I had trouble, but then I remember, from the British sho- from the British comedy [[Wikipedia:Keeping_Up_Appearances|Keeping Up Appearances]], Hyacinth's son: Sheradin, [Also actually Sheridan, unbelievably] "If Sheradin were here, he'd be appalled!" But in rememberance, of a name, of a famous voice actress, I thi- I think, he would, [[RAM|applaud]].  
 
[Easy-K laughs]
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Wonderful um, bu-
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And then- the- also, big buzz, uh, all three [[Wikipedia: List_of_My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_Magic_characters#Cutie_Mark_Crusaders|cutie mark crusader]] voice actresses, plus [[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5375244/ Babs Seed]]. That was- that was just totally awesome, right there, and got to meet Daniel Ingram too and as I- I said to Daniel "Give Vinyl Scratch her voice! Let her speak, we KNOW she's not mute!"
 
[Both laugh]
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> What did he think about that?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hu, he was like "hm-yeah, alright. We'll give her a line eventually."
 
[All laugh]
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh, right, oh, well, I'm- I'ts go- good to hear you went out, and had fun, Chris.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> I- I have- 
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Um I wan- I want to ask you some, oh, go ahead.
 
===Chris' Politics (0:59:58-1:02:12)===
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> I have one more question, Merry, uh, Chris, y'know, we live in a pretty polarising time in the world, and I would just l- y'know, just wanna see- know your feedback, on you know, how you feel about the current, political climate, not just in the ni- United States, but in the world, y'know, you seem to have a pretty interesting opinion about that.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, not totally into politics, and I definitely do- I definitely, did not like [[pmurt|Mr. 45]], in the White House, not to say his, real name, y'know, but anyway, -because he's the 45th president.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Yes, yes.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah, but anyway to have, him in the White House, and what he's done, since he, went into the White House, and- I mean IN the October, pol- in the [[Wikipedia: 2016_United_States_presidential_debates|October debates]] between him and Hillary, I mean I could- I could just see his [[Death threats|malignant]] [[narcissism]], from, more than a mile away. I just didn't- I didn't know the term, yet, but then the psychologist put the term on the internet. That's what- that's what he is, but anyway- um, moreover, with um, the countries and how they feel, um, I do- I do, feel, that we should be more [[kindness|peaceful]] we should, try to be more [[racism|tole]][[Homophobia|rant]], of, each other, at least, and, there's no need to- throw out all- to throw all this, war weapons and whatnot, and, it's also like- it's also, our life, and everybody's life at this point is like a sample platter, it's like there's a little bit of each of us, on the world, and just a whole differing, various bunch of people, and, we like some that's on the same platter, but we don't like some wha- that's some that's  on the same platter, but we're all on the same sampler platter, that is, earth.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Wow, that's a great way- that's a beautiful way of looking at it.
 
===Travelling (1:02:12-1:03:16)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes. Very much so. Have you- uh, Chris have you ever considered uh, travelling? To other countries?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yes, I'd like to visit, uh, London, England, eventually, at some point, I'm might even like- I might even like to go see, uh, Ontario, Canada, I mean- I mean.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Oh! How about, how about Asia?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Asia, that, hm, uh Asia's cool. Although, If you wanna send me more- If you wanna send me more Middle Eastern, I m- i would definitely visit [[China]] and Japan.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes. Alright, well, uh, Chris, I- I, want to ask you a few more questions, like, kind of a lighting round, before then, do you have anything more to ask him, Easy?
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Uh, no I think I covered, just about all the questions, that I, I had.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Alright. Uh, Chris, I'll, uh, jump into a lightning round, where, you'll have to say some extra words, and then, uh, we'll call it. Uh, alright?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Alright.
 
===Forgiveness (1:03:16-1:04:04)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Alright, wonderful, Uh, of all the trolls, that have ever, uh, trolled you, Chris, are there any of them that you would consider [[Chris_and_religion#Forgiveness|forgiving]]? Perhaps becoming friends with?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> I, would like to, consi- I really would like to, forgive, every. Last. Troll. Period.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Wow.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And if any of them still, hate m- and still want to, hate me and take it to an extreme, then, uh, I would still want to forgive them, and give them a chance, but, huh, well, we can only go up to a certain point.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Right.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> I mean, Je- I mean [[Jesus]] is forgiving, not to insult religion there[?] but, He would forgive everyone regardless.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Wow.
 
===God, Jesus, and the Bear (1:04:04-1:04:40)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> How about [[the bear]]?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, I'm sorry, how about what?
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Uh, that's a little, fun reference to, God, Jesus and the Bear?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, I do- I don't.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Heh- your- your-
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> It was like the bear? I'm no- I'm not, familiar with that story.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> No, No! It's something you always say! It's why you're not- you were born Christopher Weston Chandler, but, you became Christian, Weston Chandler, after the bear, uh, misheard your-
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Oh, oh yeah THAT bear.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> [laughs] yes, it's just a fu- a fun little reference, for those who got it. Uh, anyway
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Leonard Bearstein.
 
===Getting a Normal Job (1:04:40-1:06:44)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes, um, anyway, uh, Chris, this isn't, to criticise, your choice of how you want to live your life, I don't, uh, I'm- I'm, personally I'm not even in any position to actually do that, because I also live off my [[Patreon]], haha, uh, I also live off the internet- have you ever considered- have you ever considered... Just, getting, a, normal [[job]], um, getting a normal apartment, uh, living...
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, uh- uh yes I have considered getting a job, but unfortunately, because of my background I just feel I would not be hard- hired, and I have tried getting a job, uh, even after- long after 2007, and I hadly ever got call backs, so, in fact I have lots of responsibilities here at home with my, mom, and, taking care of the dogs and cats, and- and my books, and everything.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Of course, I wanted to ask...
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> A- and also, I WOULD like to, eventually move somewhe- move from this house, to somewhere, else, uh, maybe a similar sized house, or smaller, I'm not sure, I don't- I can't say, yet, but, for now I'm ki- I'm ki- more comfortable living in, this one.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Yes, of course.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Um, about tha- about that, uh, Chris, like, if you- y'know- were to get a job, like, let's say like soon-ish, um, where would you like to, y'know, um, actually work? Like w- what's an, ideal job for you?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, I'm not sure, let's pass that question.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> No problem.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Ok.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Uh, Chris, um, one of my friends, names Mr. Matika[?] uh, asked me to ask you this, uh, and it is a little bit of a serious question, so, i- it's perfectly alright, if you want to, uh, skip it.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Alright, what's the question?
 
 
===Barb's Death (1:06:44-1:07:03)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Uh, IF your mother Barbara's health wasn't, if, um, things start to decline further, if you- dyo- do you have any plans for the future? Any emergency plans?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, my mother and I are still working on- that discussion, and planning.
 
===Future Comic Villains (1:07:03-1:08:36)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Very well, it is uh- it is a hard question to answer, so I suppose... Uh anyway! Uh, regarding the Sonichu comic, back in the day, you usually would, like I've mentioned several times, during this podcast, you usually would- kind of uh- villainise, uh, different people, who played, uh- played an antagonistic role, in your life, like the uh, [[jerkops]], which is the- uh, cops that were, jerks to you, uh, [[manajerks]], were managers, at [[Mal-Wart|supermarkets]] and the like, and- of course- uh, Slaweel herself, um, in the- in the uh, new- in the new, kind of, Sonichu comic, that you are drawing right now, uh, do you have any idea, uh, what kind of villains might show up in the future?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Um, well, among which I definitely have, rese- I am definitely- repurposing so- some of the villains, but not all of them, or rather s- I should say Graduon, is r- is re-enlisting, some of them, yeah, but not all of them still, because, they, have their own skill set, and, they- and the ones that he doesn't hire, they, don't have quite such a high level skill set, that he'd feel, would validate, his cause. And, they would not be repurposed, for, jerkops, or jenkops, as it were, uh, because, they're- they're pretty much immune to his power, because- they're, already, they were already kind of, uh...
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Cut out.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Yeah.
 
===Therapy (1:08:36-1:09:56)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Alright, wonderful, uh, yes- anyway, uh, Chris, you've obviously been through a lot, in your life, you have lived through, a lot of [[stress]], you have lived through a lot of various things, and you've obviously had, kind of a hard time. Have you ever considered, uh, perhaps going to a therapist?
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Hm, yes I have, seen, a ther- I have seen a few therapists including my [[Rocky_Shoemaker|pastoral counsellor]] at church, and, ta- and we've talked, and- and that was good, and uh, for more uh, for more, uh, current I have s- I have talked with a- a- with someone over at [[http://regionten.org/ Region Ten]], and- she helped me out, some, and I found, a transgender support group in Charlottesville, and, I'm going there w- once a month, now.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Ok. Wonderful. Uh, let's see, do we have anything else?
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Um, I- I asked, just about all the questions that I have. [big old cough]
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Well, uh, wonderful, uh, let's see, so we have, uh, anything? Well I think, that's it! Uh, Chr- Chris, do you- uh, do you want to say anything else, to the listeners?
 
===Chris's Beautiful Conclusion (1:09:56-1:13:32)===
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh yes, I do have one final parting thought I'd like to, uh, offer before we close out.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Go ahead.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Uh, over the years, of which I have been mislabeled, or, mis- or, miss-imaged, or, uh, slandered, by the tro- by the, bad people- let's just call them that, neutrally[?] by the bad people, um, uh of course, that's, all in the past, and uh, that's- in between the miss-content I uploaded they, repurposed, for, that. It's- uh, that's not me- that's not me totally, you can't define me, in those aspects, all the way around uh, while I was s- still, consi- young and naive, I didn't know, as much as I do now, and I don't know everything, we're not supposed to learn everything, I have always been, and will a- will always will be, and am, a kind, heartfelt person, and I've always liked- helping, and sharing- sharing a smile, making people feel better, tha- that was always me, and I encourage everybody, um, regardless on rather, they- on however they express- their feelings of like, and love, uh, to just, go out, and, be like "ey, you're cool." whatever, fist-bump, handshake, maybe a hug! Do whatever is comfortable for you, as long as you share a little bit of sinc- a little bit of good, sincere kindness, I encourage that, with everyone.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Wow, that's beautiful.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> That's- that's very- very beautiful, yes.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Thank you.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Uh, Chris, I want to tell you something, on behalf of, I believe- a lot of people, who might feel, the same, you are, obviously, and have been, a uh, and individual who's faced a lot of, uh, a lot of adversity, in your, presence on the internet, you've, uh, faced many quarrels, you've uh, jumped over many obstacles, to become the person, who you are today, and, uh, while there are people who have been bothered by you, while there are people, who dislike you, uh there is, uh- uh, honestly, and I am completely honest with you, when I say this, Chris, most people don't dislike you. I believe the m- vast majority of, anyone who's ever made jokes, at your expense [Easy clears his throat], or anything like that, in fact, have, a, fascination with you, as a person, because, I think, within all of us, there is, a little bit of a Chris chan, there is that person, who just wants to sit back and play [[playstation]], and go back to those comic books we used to read, when we were children, and, just sit around, and draw, and do creative things, and be whoever we want to be, and not care what the world thinks.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And also be kind to people. And what to be, and help as much.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> If you- and also be kind to people, and- and for whatever criticism anyone can give you, Chris, uh, you, are clearly who you want to be, and you will not let anyone tell you differently, you can, say that as a positive thing, you could say that as a negative thing, but, you are obviously happy with who you are, and I think that's something that I can respect you for.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Thank you. And thank you everyone.
 
===Outro (1:13:32-1:14:14)===
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> Wonderful, thank you for joining us, Chris.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Yeah, you were great.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> Thank you.
 
<font color="#BE32B2">'''Merryweathery:'''</font> It's been an honor, thank you.
 
<font color="#0033FF">'''Chris:'''</font> And- it's been a pleasure.
 
<font color="#AB2554">'''Easy-K:'''</font> Alright.
 
[Conversation ends]
 
==Analysis==
These people who have never read our glorious wiki ask Chris about his comic. First they ask how to get it and how much it costs, and are immediately met with Chris' greed and ego, causing Merryweather to laugh at how Chris told Easy-K to donate to his Patreon. After revealing that he thought that Sonichu started with issue 1, Merry asked Chris how much it would cost, and Chris estimated $5 before shipping. Chris hints at the plot of [[Issue 12]] in which Naitsirch is revealed to have been trained by Giovanni as an opposition to [[Kel]], Rosechu's trainer. Easy asks Chris about the message he's trying to convey in his issues, Chris just says they're about what's on his mind at the time, which is very observable in the comics. He also talks about the [[Graduon]] back-story he needs to do as a paid obligation. Chris then owns the interviewers by asking them if they recall any commentary from the books, Easy of course avoids the question and talks about more general knowledge.

Latest revision as of 08:59, 9 September 2020

One's personality is a set of mental, emotional, and behavioral qualities that make up an individual's character. Studying personality is a key aspect of psychology, allowing experts to know what makes people the way they are. There are many methods for testing one's personality, with some backed by decades of scientific research, and others created by random people on Facebook to show ads.

Chris's personality is quite eclectic. It is what draws countless people around the globe to study and follow his antics. He has spoken quite a bit on his own idea of his personality, but his own insight doesn't always jive with reality.

His personality has undergone quite the change since Bob's death, with some traits undergoing a full 180.

Disclaimer

The Myers-Briggs type indicator is a popular personality test system.

Personality testing is a controversial field, with few tests used universally within the scientific community. Even the famous Myers-Briggs test, while useful for rough workplace assessments, is somewhat vague. It misses key areas like creativity and openness, and people who take the test often get different results over time. The closest thing to a gold standard is the Big Five, or OCEAN test.

This article discusses various aspects of Chris's personality, but is not to be taken as a substitute for an actual psych-eval.

Introversion vs extraversion

Chris has shown traits of both introversion (reservedness, solitude) and extraversion (people-seeking, sociability) over the years. It should be be noted that no person is a true introvert or a true extrovert, rather it is more akin to a spectrum which people fall on, and people can behave differently in different contexts.

At high school, Chris appears to have been fairly introverted, though with a drive to be extroverted. A leaked icebreaker worksheet shows that Chris only talked to 7 of his class-mates. They were all female. Despite trying to later hold a high school reunion, in the Song of Christian, a 16-year old Chris describes having few friends and how his "loneliness is off the scale”. Even with the social prestige of being a water-boy to the school basketball team and his Gal-pals, Chris took his mom to the school prom. Nearly 10 years after the prom, Chris talked about feeling like an outcast at the prom, however his highlight of the evening was when one of his gal-pals felt sorry for him and "pulled [him] onto the dance floor". This dance "felt like hours" to Chris.[1]

Around the time of discovery by Encyclopedia Dramatica, Chris was mainly an introvert. He kept to himself and barely spoke to anyone but his sweetheart. He joined most public chats in both text and voice forms only after being goaded by his current sweetheart[2] or a troll. And even in these chats, he didn't converse a lot, and only answered questions directed towards him. Even while playing video games, he mostly stuck to playing single player games such as God of War, Pokemon, Sonic and Animal Crossing. Any multiplayer game he did play was mostly with his sweetheart like LittleBigPlanet and Burnout Paradise. Before his discovery, when he frequented the THe GAMe PLAce, he mostly kept to himself (and Megan), and rarely interacted with other people except during card games.[3]

Classic Chris, therefore would clearly fall on the introvert side of the spectrum but he isn't a full on introvert as he did visit an anime expo in 2004 and 2005. New Chris however would easily fall on he extrovert side since 2017 as he started publicly responding to people, started playing multiplayer and co-op games such as Tetris 99 and PayDay 2, visited multiple conventions like Bronycon, Omegacon, BABScon and the TooManyGames expo. He has also started streaming videos, and answering questions his fans have. He has also joined public and private discord groups, though his interaction with other humans in them is limited. On Twitter, he has started interacting (although poorly) to a ton of people ranging from artists to enablers.

Kindness vs resentment

Main article: Kindness

While Chris may strive to be kind, his efforts often fall flat and instead come across as annoying, overwhelming or creepy. Chris at least shows he makes an effort to look like a kind person, and he has referred to himself as the "kind and compassionate Christine Chandler".[4] But saying you're kind and actually being kind are two different things.

Many of Chris's attempts at being kind, from calling complete strangers "darling" to kissing guys he just met, are a clear violation of other's boundaries and easily make people feel uncomfortable. Ironically, his attempts can be quite unkind.

Empathy vs antipathy

Main articles: Remorse and Anger

Anger, or tard rage as trolls call it, is a defining feature of Chris's personality. Also notable is his lack of empathy, beyond the point where it can be autism-related.

Chris uses apologies as a performative tool for making amends and not as a genuine expression of guilt.

Openness vs obstinacy

In psychology, openness is a person's receptivity to new or unfamiliar experiences and ideas, including changes.

It is to be noted that no person is completely open to change and no person is completely against it. People tend to be open regarding views to things that don't matter to them and like to remain closed about topics that is close to them. Chris is no exception.

Chris is not very open to thoughts that differ from his, he rejects opinions and actual scientific facts if they do not match his beliefs. When he used to hate the LGBT community, he would reject anyone trying to convince him otherwise how much ever sense they made. He had also gone to the point where he rejected the fact that Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism just because he didn't like it.

His hatred for the xbox too was due to him being closed on the subject, how many ever great games and features people showed him on the xbox, he would reject it and fixate on minor flaws the system had.

However, after he came out as a transgender, he became much more open to the LGBT and accepted people as equals, but his obstinacy has merely shifted topics, for example he completely believes in the Dimensional merge and anyone telling him otherwise is rejected as a troll. He openly rejects proof that the merge isn't happening and cherry picks minor incidents that seem to support his agenda.

A lot of his close mindedness can be blamed on his autism, as autistics are generally scared of change.

Chris and personality tests

Chris chose the blue option
Anudder one
another

Being a social media addict who also likes magical thinking, it's no surprise that Chris is a fan of personality tests. He has taken many over the years, here are a few of them:

  • A Magic: The Gathering quiz to find out that he is most like the white color typing, as each color associated with certain personality traits, the white type is associated with law and order, being the good guy beating up the bad guy.[5] This seems to indicate that Chris held to his idealistic views of good and evil, and wasn't being very true and honest in the test, since he is very anti-law when it stops him from doing what he wants.[6]

Dissociative identity disorder

Due to Chris's more recent behaviours, such as a belief in spirit possession and the manifestations of cartoon characters, Chris may indeed now have a mild trauma-induced strain of Dissociative identity disorder, a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states.[7] This is most likely connected to manipulation from the Idea Guys and other traumas in his youth due to the mistreatment of those with ASD in a clinical and social environment. It is unknown how real the characters are to Chris, but he seems very adamant that they are real and manifest physically.

The main indicators of DID that Chris displays are:

  • Daydreaming - Chris often mentions daydreaming as a form of meditation, during which Chris can "visit Cwcville", Chris's imaginary city where he is the overlord.
  • Imaginary friends - Chris has a belief that all comic book characters are real people, as autonomous as any human, and that these characters exist in the real world and speak to him in his head.[8]
  • Reality/Fantasy overlap - Chris not only believes that the fantasy world of cartoons is real, but that one day it will merge with reality, and that already characters like Sonichu, Mewtwo, and Magi-chan have manifested themselves physically.
  • Transitional Objects as Self - Chris has often emotionally attached himself to objects, resulting in hoarding, but the place in which this behaviour is most prevalent is with his character Sonichu. Chris identifies as Mother (previously Father) of Sonichu, and indeed all Sonichus, which results in him being protective of them, causing making things like putting them in danger in the comics seem immoral to him.
  • Time Loss - Due to Chris's reportedly long daydreaming sessions, and poor memory associated with them, and his frequent and aggressive habit of lying it can be suspected that this is a result of DID.
  • Ability to Cut Off from Pain and an Awareness of Danger - Chris's peculiar approach to emotional pain, namely that he'll randomly cut off from it totally, can be ascribed partially to ASD, but there is also a chance it is also a symptom from some form of DID. Chris will produce very random responses, trolls efforts to destroy things that are close to him[9] or kill those close to him[10] sometimes result in Chris showing little to no signs of caring in the slightest.

With this evidence, particularly noting the trauma that Chris must have received from the Idea Guy's manipulations, and Chris's current beliefs about the existence of imaginary places and people, and their ability to possess him, one may conclude that Chris having a mild form of DID is likely.

"Christian" vs "Christopher"

For two days in August 2009 Chris tried to convince Kacey and the rest of his fans that he had Dissociative identity disorder, a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states. One of these "personalities" was named "Christopher" and the other named "Christian", as demonstrated in a video from the time.

The video's original subject was quickly derailed by "Christopher", Chris's more "repressed" personality, by interrupting "Christian" mid-sentence, and having a free-flowing sentence with "Christian", something which is almost impossible for somebody with DID to do, due to usually not sharing memories, or surfacing at the same time. Chris did not end up managing to fool anyone into believing he had the disorder, and Kacey reprimanded him for pretending to have DID and lying to her. Chris apologised and said he made it up to "fuel" the trolls, which still leaves one to wonder why he tried to convince Kacey it was true.
