Your first exposure to Chris

I knew about him for years from ED, but never really bothered looking further until I saw one of the Vanessa Saga videos on some random-ass forum.

I was/have been an editor on all of the ED incarnations from 2006 onward, and I skimmed his article around the time it was made and probably corrected some English to make it more coherent. I've also written and/or contributed to ED articles about several other lolcows. Didn't really get involved with tracking Chris outside of his article until the CWCki days.
 
I remember seeing this image years back when I was browsing blazesoinic's ed
Sonichu5.gif

I thought this neon striped chap on the left was the lesser of two evils... I was so naive.

It wasn't until 2008 I stumbled on a youtuber named Lilly Livers and her rant on the fanbase of the travesty known as Sonichu. A quick google search and an endless supply of face palms later, here I am.

My ex told me about Chris in '09..
To this day I still can't go more than 24 hours without watching a captains log or reading a CWCki article.

More specifically, the first thing I ever saw of Chris was his duck. That horrible, bent duck. But what hooked me was the Megan saga. There was no going back after that. >_>

I'd known about CWC from 4chans /b/ and various other shitholes on the internet. I think I first saw him mentioned in 2009 in a JULAY thread but didn't really read into him much. he was just a fat autistic man raping a pillow. I didn't know him to the extent I do now until my current girlfriend showed me CWCki, the videos and his scanned comic archive and my world was forever shit stained for it. Thanks honey.

If there's one positive to come from knowing all about Chris, it's that you'll never be able to put as much effort into ruining your own life as Chris is able to effortlessly.

My exposure took a few years to come full circle. Back around the summer of 2010, I was chillin' in the vidya4chan channel of what was synchtube. (R.I.P. in pieces) Some guest faggot decided to upload to YouTube and queue the "For Julie's Eyes Only/JUULAAY" video. It was pretty weird to watch. But it eventually got funnier all the way through because I thought it was some weeaboo trying to post shock videos in the playlist and going the extra mile by creating the content himself while risk being banned/kicked. And yeah, everyone was spamming the chat with :julay: as I recall now.

Nothing much came from it. But fast forward to May of this year, where another anon on /v/ posted Sonichu #8 in its entirety. Someone else linked the Sonichu Animated Series' episode 8, and after watching that and reading the comic, something clicked. This was that same dude from years ago from that one video! The desire to learn more overwhelmed and I discovered the CWCki and then this forum months later.

So yeah, I got hooked. I never went hungry from the lulz to this very day and I can never thank Chris enough for it. God help me.

Seems I'm definitely not alone in my story! I'm not a hundred percent sure what year it was; I think it was early 2010. I loved clicking on the random page link on ED. I was horrified and instantly fascinated - in trying to find more I went back to 4chan with no luck and eventually found the cwcki, where I edited a few pages until I did a really n00b move on a talk page and never edited there again.

Since my "introduction" to him, I have considered doing research towards my psych degree on Chris.

I only follow Chris here and on the cwcki these days.
 
I found him from ED and 4chan when he was fresh.

When the first sex tape came out my BFF came over that weekend. I remember us just being in tears we were laughing so hard. Admittedly I haven't kept up with him as much as I used to "back in the day". But seeing what he's become feels like rediscovering him all over again.

I was looking up Recolor rant vids around 2008-9, and Sonichu kept popping up as a topic. ED also helped me find out about Chris and Sonichu.
 
I was going to start a thread just like this, glad I didn't.

I remember the first video I ever saw of Our Favourite Adult Diaper-Filler, and thus I remember my first impression. It wasn't love/lulz-at-first-sight as it was for others. However, my recollection as to when the big day was is extremely hazy. My closest friend at the time was, I suspected, more than just a lurker on 4chan and he sent me links to ED. Somehow I found Christian's page and ended up on Youtube watching this video, so it must have been 2009.


The impression I recall was that he was some sort of in-the-flesh Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons, knowledgeably commenting on Anime or Sonic the Hedgehog stuff with a degree of ingenious flare. That was rubbed in by him saying "Stardate" at the beginning too, but I didn't catch on to the fact that he was mentally abnormal. I don't think I watched the whole thing either. I didn't check back up on him for a while and I don't remember actively keeping up with what he was doing until the Jackie/Lars stuff in 2010.

But anyway some time after I saw that video I saw the one where he begins "Citizens, of the internet" - again giving me the witty fanfic guy impression. But then I actually watched it all and realised that this guy is a hilarious manchild. Subsequently I completely binged and got wasted on his videos, laughing the whole way through. Oh we've all been there.

Soon after I felt sorry for him and White Knighted him on a YouTube channel (theCWCVilleLibrary?) which had annotated videos, giving commentary and insulting Christian, does anyone else remember that?

My first exposure was a Linkara video about comics he would never review and Sonichu was mentioned.

I only got into it when a friend mentioned him again and gave me a link to CWCwiki
Click to expand...

Same here, but it wasn't until later that I looked into it.

It was cracked.com that had an photoplasty on weird internet subcultures that really got me started.
 
ED, circa 2009. Sadly I saw the length of the article and thought "fuck that", I really wish I'd sat back and read it all now so I could have seen Chris trolling in its prime.
 
The first threads on /v/, no fucking joke.

I remember when he was just pictures of his love signs and we didn't even know what he looked like.

Those were weird times. Why do I still care about him?

I learned about Chris through the wonder that was Scott Sharkey and The Oddcast podcast. Still not sure if I should thank them.
 
I first discovered him while wandering the Warhammer tactics pages on 1d4chan. I don't recall the specific series of clicks that led me to his page there, but it led me to the CWCki and after that I was hooked.
 
I found Chris in a pretty tangential way. I used to be more active on LiveJournal than I am now, and for a while I followed a community called DeviantArt Snark. I came across Tsukinohoshi, who was being snarked, and I could have swore that someone posted a comment along the lines of, "We finally found a girlfriend for Chris-chan!" (Because her art was bad, as you can see in the ED link -- for some reason I can't seem to find the comment now, so I don't know if I'm imagining it.) Not knowing who Chris-chan was, I googled it, and then came across the CWCki (as well as the now-dead /cwc/), and the rest is history.
