Hello to everyone from Bihać to Petrovac village.
I will get straight to the point. For a while I've been fascinated with how horrendous Sonichu is, moreso than with Chris himself. This is mainly because I deal with comics for the better part of my life, on a semi-hobby-semi-professional level. Naturally one cannot be viewed without the other, but that's something we are all aware of. What piqued my interest very recently is the possibility of how CWCville actually functions. Or, to be blunt, whether Chris-Chan is a dictator or not.
There have been people discussing this before. The consensus on the CWCki is that he indeed is one, and if I'm not mistaken, the once-decent now-creampuffy Dstecks also mentioned it in his videos on the matter. But I wanted to take a more thorough approach to this. A semi-scientific approach even.
This is why I've recently decided to write a somewhat scientific paper on whether or not Chris-Chan is a dictator of CWCville, and a few other details: what type of a dictator is he, what prompted him to become one, how does he compare to some of history's better known (and even some lesser known) dictators, and how is this noticeable throughout the daily dealings of CWCville itself and its citizens.
Naturally, I will be using the comic itself as the basis, and naturally anything that Chris considers canon, I will take it upon as such (even if contradictory; or rather, ESPECIALLY if contradictory). I've already gathered around nine-ish papers discussing dictators and dictatorships, as well as two books (one roughly 190 pages, one a few short of 990), and I still keep getting ideas on the topic.
As you can imagine, the sheer volume of sources has made me rethink and restructure my idea, and it went from a mere paper to a full-blown book. Yes, this will be a book on Chris-Chan's reign over CWCville, and yes, I intend to have it published.
Now to clarify a few other things. I do not have a Patreon, nor any means of getting paid online, and this is by design. I am not here to shill or e-beg. Unless this gathers steam and people themselves wish to help me out in this way, I will not be asking for money for this. I am merely doing this for the interest of scientific(-ish) inquiry.
But there is a way you good lot can help.
If you happen to have any good recommendations for books or papers on the topic, I would be more than thankful for them. Alternately, if you are part of an academic institution and have access to JStor or similar archives, or can simply scan a physical copy of a scientific journal or book, that would help me even more. But a more hands-on approach would be directing me to anything Chris has said or done, be it in the comics, illustrations, videos or on social media, that directly correlates to my topic of interest. There is an immense amount of information on him in these particular areas, and I have limited time as it is, so I cannot go over every single thing he said. Any able Christorians out there who can help me with this are more than welcome to.
I will also be trying to put my personal opinions of Chris aside and deal with the topic objectively, i.e. utilizing the scientific method as much as possible, though preferably all the way through. I do happen to possess a college degree, but providing more info would be "doxxing of the self", and I ain't about to do that.
In short, if you are willing to help, you will be contributing to what is possibly the first ever published scientific-adjacent work dealing with the internet's favorite lolcow. I thank you in advance for this and hopefully the project won't stop dead in its tracks.
P. S. For the record, I will refer to Chris-Chan as a "he" simply for the sake of convenience, so know that I do not mean ill of him when not referring to him as "her".
