Your first exposure to Chris

I might have seen a reference or two on 4chan back in the day, but I don't think I paid any attention then. The first real exposure was when I discovered Spazkid's Animated Series on Youtube, which somehow got linked into Vivian's Audiobooks. I gathered that OPL was a real person whom was being mocked and teased by these cartoons, but at the time I thought it was just /b/tards and /v/irgins doing what they do since he was some autistic who drew a stupid comic. :ween: I didn't really pay it any more attention for probably 6-7 months (although I did watch the Sonichu: TAS and audiobooks over occaisonally), until I stumbled on the cwcki after googling Chris on a bored whim.

I distinctly remember being shocked how much of The Animated Series was straight up factual once I read some cwcki articles - I assumed 90% of the material was just Spazkid and the other animators making up stuff (Chris drinking :fapcup: , the :briefs: , and a bunch more) in order to twist this guys' knickers. Once I realized those cartoons wasn't as much a caricature of someone as much as it was who he actually was was when my fascination with him began. The Tomgirl Saga just beginning right after this discovery did not help any.
 
I'm a fan of Linkara's 'History of Power Rangers'. From there I started watching his other videos and happened across the one in which he says he won't review Sonichu 'cause he dosn't want to give it any attention. Then I Googled Sonichu, found the CWCki and have been enjoying the RL chronicles of CWC ever since.
 
TVTropes' So Bad It's Good page talked about Sonichu. For some reason it stood out to me more than the other works on the page, so I ended up on the Sonichu TVTropes page, which had a link to both the comic and the CWCki. I read the entire comic before even looking at the CWCki (in other words, I had no idea what the hell was going on in issue 10... the other issues I could at least puzzle out myself, but not so much issue 10) and then found the CWCki and was hooked. This was all mid-2010.
 
I browse ED a lot especially in 2008-10. Chris came up a lot and I skimmed the article but it didn't really make sense to me due to the fact I couldn't believe someone could be that ... Stupid?
One day last year I must have been completely bored and actually read the entire thing then clicked on the CWCiki link and here I am.. Full of useless chris knowledge.
 
This is my true and honest first post. Far beyond the Golden Age. And I JUST got recently interested.

A read a thread in SA about Ulillillia a few years ago, and how everyone kept saying he was the opposite of Chrischan. I perused some ED stuff, found it interesting, but didn't quite draw my interest. For some reason I randomly felt compelled to google him recently and now my interest in insatiable. Weird it happens years later, maybe I glanced some internet stuff about his house burning down and it affected me subconsciously.

being new,I have so many opinions and theories, but I'm afraid they've all been expressed.
 
It was a long time ago... So long that I can't remember when exactly, probably around late 2008. But I remember how very well...

I was talking to a friend online, we were just talking about random shit, like movies and such. Then he decided to send me a youtube link. "What's this?" I said to him.

"Just watch it." Was his response.

So I clicked the link and I was taken to the CWC's Second Message video. I'm sitting there, watching it, confused, jaw hanging open as I watch the near 10 minute long video, wondering what in the fuck I am watching. The video ends and for a brief moment, silence. Then I speak. "... What the fuck did I just watch? The HELL was that?!"

But it's not over. He then sends me the link to CWC's Future Message and I watch it. I'm thinking this must be some sort of prank, there's no way this guy is real. So I shrug it off and try to forget about it. Eventually my friend left to go do some stuff.

I was alone. I was bored. So I watched the videos again. Then a trip to google and typing up Christian Weston Chandler consumed the rest of that day... And my life.

But the story doesn't end there. Oh no. After spending the past couple of days reading the ED page and anything else on Chris, my friend eventually popped up on Skype. "You bastard..." I said to him. "You goddamn bastard! I've spent the past couple of days reading up on that creepy asshole in those videos you linked to me!"

His response? "lol"

"Why? Why did you link those to me?! Why did you do this?!" I wanted a reason. I needed a reason.

And I got one.

"Count yourself lucky." My friend said. "Because I've had the misfortune of actually MEETING him in real life!"

".... What?" Was all I could say.

My friend then started telling me about a convention he had attended back in 2005, that Anime Mid-Alantic one. He described the whole thing, about meeting Chris, Chris babbling to him about random shit. He then recalls Chris giving him a copy of Sonichu #0 and asking for his opinion. My friend, who really wanted to get away from Chris decided to give it a quick flick through. Then Chris asked for his opinion.

My friend supposedly told Chris that he needed to work on his art and that he should try something unique and original, that by taking Pikachu and Sonic and combining the two showed Chris lacked originality, all while doing this in the nicest way as it was clear to him that Chris probably "wasn't all up there."

Chris didn't like that. At all. He got all huffy and said that my friend didn't know what he was talking about and then he stormed off (no confirmation if it was due to DIRTY CRAPPED BRIEFS). And so that was the end of his story.

It was at that point I told him we couldn't be friends anymore.
 
I think I first heard of him sometime during the Liquid Chris saga. I had skimmed his article and wasn't really interested, thinking he was just a troll and that no one could possibly be this stupid. I only remembered he even existed a few months ago. I was browsing 1d4chan and randomly stumbled upon an article about Chris, which had a link to the Cwcki. Needless to say, I was horrified to discover that he wasn't a troll.
 
4chan's /v/. First a glimpse in late '08 when people would post his comics, and then I fully got to know about his lovely antics in early '09.
I got to watch through some of the greatest trolling, but kept being silent on the side. Makes me kinda regret things, as you can't fuck with him anymore now that he paranoidally rejects all mail.
 
Someone on another forum linked a pic of Chris in his toy-filled room from his Love Quest publicity pictures. I asked who the fuck that was. He linked me to the CWCki. It was right about the time of the Ivy Saga. I thought it couldn't be real. I kept reading and realized it had to be.

I've been fascinated with him ever since.
 
I was on TVTropes and somehow ended up on the So Bad It's Good page (I think I got there from So Bad It's Awful, since I discovered Chris the same day as some troll gornfic), where Sonichu somehow caught my eye. After getting hooked on how ridiculous it was, I followed the links to the Cwcki. It was around the time of the first Jackie Saga emails. While I'm a little sorry to have missed the sagas, it was kind of fun coming into it after they were over. I could just kick back and read.

The above video was my first ever exposure to Sonichu and Chris. When it was first posted, I left a comment asking what was up with "the guy with the Sonic with the Pikachu ears" and was told to look up "Sonichu".

How naive I was back then...

I've diligently worked to make such phrases as 'exceptional individual' and 'manajerk' standard euphemisms within my team at work. Today a colleague and i had a meeting where an exceptional individual was present and displaying some beautiful examples of autism, and the subject of OPL came up. I have now directed her to the cwcki, and expect ill be down a friend after the wkend...i briefly mentioned this forum too, and how despite the piss taking we sent a care package after the fire. Hoping this neutralises the whole 'making fun of an autistic' thing, this is my first attempt to turn someone else to the dark side!

My brother introduced me to Chris, via the ed page, in 2011. Have been disgusted and fascinated since...
 
The year was 2006….. President Bush was still in office, and Chris was introduced to the character list of the mostly meme based series No Date Gamers. He was basically the boyfriend and butt buddy of the shopkeeper from Link: The Faces of Evil, Morshu.


I never knew that he was famous other than that until I discovered ED, then I found this very site.

I had seen bits and dabs of Chris on 4chan back in 2005-2007. I laughed and dismissed the threads like any other thinking that he was just the flavor of the week for the trolling crowd. I never really looked Chris because like any other lolcow any interest in him died as soon as the thread 404'd. Then in 2012 I started talking to a person who had some investment in Chris and through her I discovered the Cwcki and Sonichu comics. He's been bought up between us quite a few times, examining the events from the very first future video to Chris's attempted and mostly successful self-exile from the internet. In a way Chris has changed me slightly because no matter how bad a situation I find myself in, I find that thinking "Well, at least I'm not Chris-chan" helps.
 
I think I first heard of him from one of Linkara's videos. Sonichu was apparently very high up on the list of things he would not touch. Who knows, maybe he'll look at them. He went on to review a lot of stuff from that list.
 
I found out about Chris through some Sonic forum about 2-3 weeks after 10/28/2011 happened, the topic was named something like, "OMG Chris-chan went to jail!!!" In the thread there were nothing but Sonichu jokes, so I looked at GOOGLE RESULTS, went to ED and CWCki and I've been a lurker since.
 
I used to frequent ED back in the day, though I can't remember how I found ED to start, but I digress. Several of the pages I have read on that site kept making references to Chris-chan, so my curiosity got the better of me and I clicked a link to his page. The rest is Christory.
 
Bigal2k6 was doing a rant against someone white knighting him and he linked to the CWCki. I spent that entire November 2009 night sitting in awe and inspired to discover there actually was someone a lot more retarded than me.

I read the entire Father Call that night, and then read all up on JULAY and Bob Walking In.
 
I discovered the ED page just in time to see Chris upload SheCameForCWC.jpg.
