Forgive me if this question has been asked before, but when did you all discover Chris? I found his ED article late last year but didn't really get into the Manchild's history until about a month ago. Since then I've been religiously reading the CWCiki (strange how you think you've read everything on there, and bam, new category with dozens of pages to explore) 
Obviously there's a few veterans on here that have been on here since the dawn of Christory but I'm curious about everyone else.

Probably around 2008. Probably either on ED or 4chan. It might have been as early as 2007.

I'm a newb, but I would like to know the general feeling if CdubC ever reached what he felt he was entitled to have. Even just with his newer aspirations. Like if sega said, "fuckerz, we didn't notice his arms were dumb lookin' all blue and shit. I am happy that someone brought it to our attention." Would you be happy or mad that CWC got his way? Not just the arm thing but if He achieved any of his goals through his approach of bitchin' of doing nothing.

Let me put it like this:
No matter what Chris did, only a fool would get mad at it.
If Sega gave in to the blörms (due to public demand), Chris would feel validated and people would mock him. If Sega was outright stating they changed it back due to some clown in Virginia raging, we'd think it was bad for Chris as it validated his delusions and we'd mock him.
Keep in mind, one of the things Chris wanted to do was turning Sonichu into a profitable Franchise with Merchandise... something he has been successfully doing for over half a year now. People state how much they are impressed by this, but still mock him for the assbackwards way he's doing things. Even when Chris achieves a goal, he manages to somehow fuck it up. So we mock him.

Wow, perfect answer to a dumb question. Thank you. Just watching his li'l documentary some kid made and it is a thing. Thanks for the great response.
If 'tendo or sega actually put a c&d order on CWC for his electric hedgehog adventures from 5 years ago, would people be for or against it? I guess you would just mock him.
I take my nonchalant attitude back about this doc. It's actually fucking rad. I hate that I missed the beauty of Christine's spiral into fuckerzville. edit- since I am just spergin its better I edit, I have worked with handicapped kids for a bit in my teenaged years and I have true affinity for them. I am amazed I can not find it in me to have any sympathy for this human. He is most unendearing human being in the world. What a fucking human experiment.

People would just shrug and go "well, that happened" and continue on as normal.
He's so incapable of achieving anything that could affect another person (besides macing them of course) I don't see how anyone could get mad at him. Chris is like a hamster in a cage, the things he does are amusing and it's fun to watch but getting mad at him is utterly pointless, there's nothing there to hate.

I would always hear about Chris on 4chan and Newgrounds in like... 2007 and 8 (thinking about it, I have no idea how I knew about 4chan in 2007. I'm 18 now.) I always just ignored him because I assumed he was some kind of YouTube personality or something. I always saw that one picture of him staring off into space surrounded by his toys, but I never put it together that that guy was Chris-chan. Then in late-2013 someone explained to me who Chris is and I got hooked instantly. Ploughed right through all the major pages on the CWCki like most people end up doing.
I'll probably get piled with negative ratings for this, but can someone explain to me why people are so hyped to take "the CWC Tour" as it's called, or even to see Chris in person? Other than for curiosity's sake regarding what he now looks like, I don't really get it. When those two guys went down to see Chris's latest court happening, everyone was super hyped to see things like the inside of the Gamestop and the McDonalds Chris usually goes to. These things are only tangentially related to Chris, a fat autist who crossdresses and plays with Lego all day, but everyone was excited to see high-res photos of them as if they were wonders of the world. Hundreds of people are assaulted by Chris's gaudy clothing, obnoxious shrill voice and foul stench daily, but some people are willing to drive hours just for the possibility of that experience. I just don't see what the big return is on it :/
I totally agree with you. There's nothing unique or interesting about Chris' public hangouts, all the Gamestops in my area look exactly like the one in CVille that was attacked by Chris. And if you've been in one McDonald's, you've been in them all.
One idea would be starting a CWC-themed bus tour. Stops would include the former GAMe PLAce, McDonald's, the Gamestop and of course 14 BC itself. Although I get the feeling weens would be the only people to pay for such a service, if only so they can yell "JUUULLLLLLLAAAYYYY" out the bus windows as it rolls by 14 BC.

Well, the "CWC Tour" part of Lipitor and HeyyyJackiepie's Quest didn't really phase me, it was nice to see some of these places, but not really necessary. I guess for a lot of people, it's like going to a historical location or the former home of some well-known person (only a lot more autistic). It sorta "completes the image", so to speak. We have heard a lot of stories that took place in various locations in Ruckersville or Charlottesville, I guess it's only natural for some people to be curious to see what those places actually look like...
Some people go to Graceland to see Elvis Presley's house. Some people go to Pripyat to see a radioactive wasteland and take images of themselves in front of a busted reactor. Some people happen to be at Ruckersville, so they take a quick look at some christorical places. As long as people don't go to Ruckersville for the explicit goal of taking a photo of BC14 and rather just take a chance while passing by, I don't see the problem.

Chris is by far Ruckersville's most famous citizen. It says something about a town when the local eccentric is the most famous person to come out of it.

Well yeah, I don't see anything strange about going ten minutes out of your way to look at 14BC if you happen to be in Ruckersville for something else, but I know for a fact there are people who have done a long drive to Ruckersville with the sole intent of seeing "Christorical places" and possibly spotting him. That dude paid real actual money for a gift for Chris and a night in a Ruckersville hotel... for the slim chance of meeting Chris. I feel like it's kind of a "never meet your idols" situation, except instead of an idol it's a smelly autist. The Chris you meet won't be screaming about blarms or causing a scene, he'll just be twitchy and slightly uncomfortable around you, giving bare-minimum responses as he's eager to stop talking to you and get home.
Like @That Guy said, a Gamestop is a Gamestop. A McDonalds is a McDonalds. And really, 14BC is just another trashed redneck house in Virginia.

It's certainly a bit weird to spend money on a trip to see/meet Chris, but then again, I doubt anyone here would be foolish enough to try and chastise another person for visiting Ruckersville for this purpose. Something to keep in mind: One might not approve of such a pointless waste of money, but that doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Someone spends money on something we think is silly? Well, it's his/her money and it's not up to us to decide how to use it...
As long as said people do not bother the Chandlers by doing something stupid, I don't really mind. And trying to hand over a gift to Chris isn't really something I'd consider weeny or bad (even though I think it's really pointless).

Totally, it's their money and I'm not trying to chastise them for choosing to spend it how they wish. I'm just interested to hear some justification from someone who would go down to Ruckersville, or has already done so, for Christorical purposes.

I agree, except I think seeing the trial is worthwhile. While I don't care about what fast food joints Chris eats at, his courtroom behavior might be worth a day trip to Charlottesville. (I mean, I could go to see the Luray caverns instead, but I don't know... I think I'd rather go to Charlottesville.)
Coverage of the trial is probably the best reason for anyone to visit Ruckersville at this point.

Chris has fucked a lot of stuff up. But now he has gotten to the point where we assume he fucked something up and then try to figure out exactly what it is.
I think the sales of merch are a perfect example of this. It is one thing he has done not badly at. But it is scrutinized super heavily. He has sold hundreds of things on eBay. For a handful of them he took 2.5 weeks instead of 2. And a lot of people say that proves he is an irresponsible seller who should be kicked off of eBay. Similarly, when his house burnt down, Christorians figured it was likely to be negligence on his part and then speculated what it was.
Of course I grant that he actually fucks up. But that's because he is an idiot who has so much of his life scrutinized. When you look at an idiot for long enough, you are going to seem him do some real dumb shit.
I guess my point is, I have found it useful to apply the "average idiot" test to Chris' "fuck-ups". I ask myself "is this the sort of mistake your average idiot could make?"
Careless with cords? For sure.
A day or two behind on "work"? Yes
Raging for months about the color of sonic's arms? Nope, that's a Chris special.
Macing a random guy at a game store? Nope, just Chris.
Falling for a fake persona online? That happens to people
Believing that person is involved in a weird love triangle with you and someone pretending to be you? Not so much.
It's a useful test.
