Chris started out as a weird loser with delusions of grandeur, and is now a genuine celebrity with a legion of obsessives who catalog his every move and spread his fame far and wide across the Internet. He introduces himself now as "the creator of the world's most famous Sonic OC" and... it's true! People are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for official CWC merchandise.
Not to mention that the stuff Chris gets subjected to on a daily basis would completely shatter the mind of any normal person. Nearly all human contact he's had in the last decade has been part of an elaborate plan to fuck him over, or embarrass him on the internet, or extort money from him. He has to verify that his own relatives adding him on Facebook aren't trolls in disguise. Anyone who was sane would have eaten a bullet after the fifth girlfriend turned out to be a catfish, but Chris just keeps going.
