hey everybody this is christine chandler coming to you live from home once again i'm gonna come after you i'm gonna i'm gonna ruin your [Music] no donations less than one dollar god damn miserable lifeless credence my mother my father angry at me it's all right take a chance cause there is no circumstance that you can't handle you have to offer money 100 bucks and i'll get up oh and how about this [Music] this video will contain vague discussions surrounding abuse mental illness and other potentially sensitive topics view discretion is advised you can head over to my patreon for an ad free uncut version of this video which goes into more detail on the particularly disturbing and not safer work elements of this story chris chan is a name i've heard tossed around on the internet but for whatever reason i never actually looked into it until now and i don't think anything could have prepared me for what i've learned in the past few days to call this story a rollercoaster would be an understatement it's probably the most complex and bizarre rabbit hall i've ever been down i hope this video serves as a comprehensive but concise timeline of events but this video would be hours long if i covered everything as chris has been referred to as the most documented person on the internet i've included the main details and elaborated in certain areas but if you want to know more head over to sonychu.com which is a whole website dedicated to chris's life story just to clarify chris is a transgender woman and events relevant to the story occurred both before and after she came out i'll be using she and her pronouns throughout but i just wanted to make it clear that until a certain point she was living as a biological man that detail is relevant to the story at points and it's useful to know because different sources use different pronouns to describe her her birth name was christopher weston chandler and she later went by christian after a mall conductor bear misheard which she believed was a sign from god she would at times add in other names as middle names such as ricardo which is apparently her spanish nickname after she came out she changed her name to christine and he's commonly known as the gender-neutral name chris for simplicity that's the name that we'll be using throughout chris was born on the 24th of february 1982 in charlottesville virginia she was barbara chandler's second child her first joseph was around 18 at the time he claimed to have been mentally and physically abused by barbara and his stepfather and it seems that chris was also abused by her though not to the same extent it has been speculated that barbara has some form of narcissistic personality disorder and she reportedly used violence and threats of suicide to manipulate chris and chris's father bob not much is known for sure about chris's first years though she began showing signs of autism such as delayed language acquisition she didn't speak at all between the ages of 1 and 7 and had to undergo speech therapy she has recalled memories and made claims about her early life though she'll soon come to learn she's hardly the most reliable source she claims that her first word was monkey at just six weeks old which obviously isn't true and i wonder if she made it up to compensate for her delayed speech she claimed she was abused by a babysitter every day for years and that she was locked in a toy room at an early age after turning all the lights off another traumatic event occurred when her playmate sarah nicole hammer convinced her that casper the friendly ghost lived under her house chris crawled into luck and sarah locked her in this was a pivotal moment in more than one way it was perhaps the first time that chris had ever been trolled and the inability to distinguish between reality and fiction was something she carried with her into adulthood she didn't appear to hold any animosity towards sarah there and despite the fact that it appears that they had next to no contact since they were young kids chris still spoke of her as an adult as if she was her best and closest friend during the fourth grade chris's parents pulled her out of school after she claimed she had been forcefully restrained and made to sit on the principal's lap throughout the court proceedings chris was homeschooled until they relocated and she started a different school in the sixth grade this homeschooling period may well have further hindered chris's already delayed social development in high school she had a few female friends and like sarah chris seems to fixate on and over-exaggerate their closeness in later years it was during this time that she created the notorious character sonichu for a school project which came about after she was told that she couldn't use copyrighted characters so she instead decided to merge two copyrighted characters sonic the hedgehog and pikachu sonichu she would later go on to draw comics featuring sonichu which is what she became known on the internet for sons of her parents enabling her behavior were really starting to show and she stumbed out crying during her high school graduation when she didn't win the art award she felt she deserved it because she'd worked harder than anyone else despite her autism it's clear that her parents never prepared her for the real world or taught her about boundaries and societal norms and as a result she never matured at the same rate as her peers she entered adulthood unable to fit into society and unready to find employment or take care of herself sometimes not even recognizing when she needed to use the bathroom which has resulted in various accidents over the years after high school chris enrolled on a college course on computer-aided drafting and design she didn't make many if any friends in college and started spending more of her free time creating sonichu comics they started out pretty average but became more and more personal to chris eventually she was clearly using the comics as a coping mechanism by inserting herself into them and characters based off other real people some of the storylines were inspired by real events but she rewrote what actually happened to reflect how she wanted the interaction to go or to make other people seem like the villains in february 2003 chris was kicked out of a college class following a dispute with her teacher she claims this was because of her autism which was almost becoming a crutch to excuse her inappropriate behaviour a method learned from her parents who basically taught her how to use autism as a past to get what she wanted in reality it may have had something to do with her verbally attacking classmates and making racist remarks after she was ejected from class she cried but there was no one to comfort her chris decided it was time to find herself a girlfriend or sweetheart as she called it and so began the love quest it didn't go particularly well and every girl she spoke to already had a boyfriend leading her to believe that only a very tiny percentage of women were boyfriend free as she called it this is known as the infinitely high boyfriend factor the first time chris became aware of this may have been when she found out that her childhood friend sarah had a boyfriend after developing a crush on her this realization was almost phobic to her and prevented her from finding the courage to approach women let alone strike a conversation this also caused her to really start hating men because they were taking all the women that fit her strict criteria said criteria included that they had to be edged between 18 and the edge that chris was at the time this went on for a few years they had to be boyfriend free of average to slim build white employed in a relatively well-paying job and not artistic as she suffered an almost paralyzing fear of approaching women she came up with some interesting ways to attempt to attract someone she would sit in a public place for hours sometimes pacing back and forth holding a sign stating that she was looking for a female companion unsurprisingly women weren't exactly falling at her feet and she ended up getting into trouble for lightering and soliciting her unusual methods and threatening behavior was condemned by the dean at the college who expelled her for one year she returned and obtained an associate's degree in 2006 but things just went even more downhill from here chris's degree would end up being a big waste of time considering she never used it to get a job and she began claiming welfare soon after leaving college after college her life consisted solely of drawing sonichu playing video games and focusing on her love quest she created some sonichu medallions one of which of the character sonichu and she was rarely ever seen without it around her neck as i already mentioned chris wasn't exactly prepared for adult life partly due to her autism but partly due to her parents enabling her she was always quite childlike and throughout the years spent thousands of dollars on kids toys she was into my little pony and years later began attending bronycon she also had some pretty controversial views she was religious as her parents were and was also very homophobic though seemingly not as a result of religion as she only realized that the bible condemns homosexuality after seeing an episode of family guy people of the wrong orientation are using the uh as brand uh and by which i mean particularly the uh homosexuals for some reason chris had a bee in her bonnet relating to asperger's syndrome she didn't seem to rarely understand what it is but has repeatedly stated that it is nothing like autism and she thinks people with aspergers are stealing the limelight from people with autism while chris doesn't necessarily seem inherently racist she is clearly racially ignorant and has made insensitive comments in the past as well as stereotyping characters in her comics and she also did blackface at one point but there is a clear distinction in the way she views gay people and people of other races she made it clear her sweetheart needs to be white but that seems more related to a dream she had prophesying a daughter named crystal who was white so it made sense that the mother would also be white chris held many delusional beliefs one being that he had over one billion fans and that sonichi was more popular than harry potter and lord of the rings most of chris's time was spent inside though she would visit a local game and card shop where she met megan schroeder in 2005. chris almost instantly developed a crush on her but she wasn't interested in being anything more than friends as she claimed to have recently been through a bad breakup the pair became close friends but chris constantly pushed boundaries and basically harassed megan believing that she would eventually change her mind emails between the pair have surfaced where megan repeatedly tells chris she isn't looking for a boyfriend and just wants to be friends with her she initially declines very politely and eventually has to be more blunt with her but still handles the situation better than most would she mentions that chris keeps getting too close and touching her and describes her advances as sexual harassment most of chris's emails are missing but it's clear that she is not taking no for an answer and has no regard for megan's feelings about the situation in 2007 chris entered a competition hoping to win the prize that included a trip for two to seattle she planned to whisk megan away but she didn't win and found out that megan wouldn't have gone with her anywhere 2007 was also the year that the internet discovered chris one of her sonichu pictures was posted on 4chan and it didn't take long for the artist to be identified from there pages were dedicated to her on the website something awful and on encyclopedia dramatica or ed this would be the first time that chris would be exposed to a large number of people who weren't going to enable her or make allowances due to her condition and they were ruthless chris didn't exactly help herself she uploaded a youtube video attempting to convince ed to take down the page on her but when that didn't work she decided to reveal a lot of embarrassing information about herself oversharing is a common occurrence throughout this trolls are gonna troll regardless but chris really fed them the bit and often included photographic or video proof behind even the more bizarre details she shared an inappropriate picture that she'd drawn of her and megan which was the straw that broke the camel's back in that relationship by 2008 if she hadn't already chris was really starting to get desperate in her search for a sweetheart even posting on yahoo answers for advice on how to get a boyfriend-free girl one of the answers recommended that she get rid of the signs she used in public to which chris replied asking if the commenter would be her sweetheart boyfriend-free girl chris's love quest took a temporary unexpected turn when she found herself a sweetheart named blanca only it turned out she wasn't even a real person but rather a bunch of trolls operating under one fake account for simplicity's sake and because chris didn't believe she was being catfished by multiple people even when it was glaringly obvious we'll refer to the trolls collectively as blanca blanca sent multiple photos of herself which were actually various different women but chris didn't realize because she has prosopagnosia meaning she struggles to recognize faces she claims to have spent a significant amount of time staring into the mirror when she was younger just to be able to recognize her on face blanca convinced chris to send nudes which were published online in september 2008 over the next few months various other photos and videos of that nature found their way online icarus 6-9 one of the trolls acting as blanca convinced chris to send him the sonny to medallion which she did he filmed himself cutting it up and putting it into a jar of pickles then setting it on fire this was traumatic for chris not only because her beloved medallion had been destroyed but because she hated pickles due to their phallic ship still unaware that blanca was not a real person chris seemed to go off her and soon began communicating with a new sweetheart panda hayler she convinced chris to send nudes which she posted online and at one point even got chris to agree to have with a dog for her enjoyment chris said that her breed of choice would have been a collar like lassie but as far as i'm aware she never went through with it at least i hope she never went through with it and here's where things just get wild enter clyde cash you know what makes me angry this is clyde clyde is an online persona created by a troll with a pretty extensive storyline he claimed his brother took his own life after chris withheld publication of sonichu following the encyclopedia dramatica incident chris was somewhat upset to hear this but didn't seem too fazed and later implied that she liked having enough influence over someone that they would take their own life because of something she did fine i'm sorry brother died well that doesn't mean you have to go picking on me for the cause of his death i'm just an i'm just an innocent bystander and all this this sparked a rivalry that would span years and at times get pretty messed up and this is how angry i am for every waking moment that eb pages up order to understand the impact of clyde and the other troll's actions it's important to acknowledge that multiple people spent months even years creating numerous personas with elaborate backstories that sometimes linked the different characters all just to troll chris and she rarely ever questioned it no matter how far-fetched the fabricated events were she naively believed everything even when people tried to show her proof that she was being trolled she had real difficulty telling apart fantasy and reality even to the point that she believes that all fictional characters and worlds in books movies and tv shows actually exist in a different dimension she claimed that by the end of 2018 our dimension was supposed to merge with the other dimension resulting in fictional characters physically existing in this world she also believes that cwc ville the setting she created for sonichu is a real place and seems to use it as a coping mechanism anyway the point is chris was very gullible and naive and her autism was likely the main cause of that making her an easy target clyde and panda hayla made up a wild story that started with clyde panda and her getting pregnant with his child and ended with panda vanishing and chris assuming that she died in the black saturday bushfires in 2009 this battle is perfect this war is far from beyond over mr clyde by this point multiple different trolls were posing as fans sweethearts and even enemies and chris was fully immersed in this fictional world where not everyone was nice but everything revolved around her the next sweetheart would be julie who like the rest had quite the crazy storyline in february 2009 julie asked chris to visit her in ohio but chris said that she didn't want to travel such a long distance by herself before changing her mind but saying that she would bring her mum barbara with her a few days later julie's brother max told chris that he and clyde cash had kidnapped julie and that chris had five days to rescue her barbara had already warned chris against meeting julie because she thought it was a police officer posing as an underage girl so chris left at 5 30 am taking only 50 without telling either parent just leaving a note when they found the note they called the police and found a missing person's report worried she might get killed as she had never traveled so far out of town before it's unclear whether or not the police actually looked for her at one point chris accidentally locked herself out of her car so nearby workers had to call a breakdown company to get her back in when she arrived at the address max had given her there was no sign of him clyde or julie just an elderly woman who had never heard of any of them leaving chris no choice but to return home empty-handed surprisingly chris actually enjoyed the experience though his parents weren't so thrilled and threatened to kick him out if he ever travelled at all again within a week of this disastrous event the truth about julie would be revealed in a mumble chart which went so far it was even too much for clyde it began with max taunting chris threatening to not only sell her playstation account on ebay but to give the profit to 4chan an encyclopedia dramatica after insulting her throughout and telling her she has to choose between her accounts and julie max eventually orders her to chop up her medallion into pieces and literally stick it where the sun doesn't shine and she did it when chris is finally allowed to talk to julie it is revealed that neither her or max exist and that they're both personas created by a user named blue spike this wasn't the first time that chris had been catfished but this time was so much worse as blue spike was actually a 13 year old boy apparently not knowing that she was being catfished chris had literally sent nudes and inappropriate videos to a child this is all so messed up on so many levels throughout this there is so much that you could criticize chris for but what blue spike did is just so sadistic even at 13 you should know to draw the line way before you're convincing a severely artistic person to put things up there it apparently didn't take much to fool chris and blue spike used his normal voice when interacting with her which moss would probably be able to identify as a young boy but chris claims not to have noticed blue spikes seem to imply that it's unlikely that chris didn't realize but considering she has trouble distinguishing faces it's possible that this also extends to voices too but i'm not sure while chris didn't initially appear too fazed about the whole incident she later said it was one of the most traumatic things that ever happened to her other trolls were present in the chat and most were disgusted by how far blue spike went even clyde got real for once and didn't exactly show sympathy towards chris but basically told her to get her [ __ ] together years later blue spike has expressed regret over what he did and acknowledges that it wasn't funner only a couple of weeks later chris was trolled yet again when she arranged a date with emily a journalism student chris stood her up the first time as she was stressed because of her parents arguing over whether or not emily was real or another troll spoiler she was another troll they rearranged and chris decided to bring her 81 year old father with her the date didn't exactly end well after a man dressed like a pickle showed up to troll chris manning the pickle suit was a persona created by one of the trolls behind blanca and was a name used by various different trolls chris later said she was proud she didn't soil herself when manning the pickles who appeared in june 2009 a youtube channel was created by someone who claimed to be the real chris chan complete with the sonichu medallion albeit made of paper he was eventually referred to as liquid chris while the real chris was solid chris liquid claimed that chris's original accounts had been hacked and an imposter was now running them he uploaded parodies of chris's earlier videos and eventually in chris's mind where fiction and reality emerge into one liquid was better at being chris than chris herself was contests were held to determine the real chris and liquid won in liquid's farewell message he said he was married employed by nintendo and microsoft and referenced ian brandon anderson who he claimed had taken over chris's accounts and from our thing i name is not ian it seems that there was a time where solid chris actually somewhat questioned whether or not she was the real chris and had to use logic for once to convince herself she was you really can't make this stuff up in november 2010 following yet another romantic disaster she deleted all her videos and announced that she would no longer be uploading or interacting with anyone online a few months later though she returned and while it wasn't until 2014 that she came out as transgender by this point she started to dress more feminine and referred to herself as a tom girl this was a pivotal moment for her not only because it was the beginning of a totally new way of life but it signalled the beginning of a u-turn regarding her homophobic views barbara didn't approve though and told her to stop wearing dresses and makeup and even forcibly cut her hair at one point the month after chris's return to the internet her father bob died of heart failure which sent her into a deep depression she didn't seem as able to bounce back from the trolling after this event leaving many to wonder if it was time to leave her be but not everyone was so considerate in october chris and barbara were arrested and charged with trespassing assault and failure to stop an accident causing over 1 000 in damage in 2012 chris finally lost her virginity but no thanks to the love quest which was by all accounts a catastrophe she believed she was facing prison time due to her run-ins with the law and hired a woman to help her cross that off her bucket list the rest of the year and most of 2013 was relatively uneventful with chris often ranting on facebook and twitter looking for someone to blame for the situation she found herself in in january 2014 chris's house set on fire caused by a freight extension lead that ran from the bathroom to a coffee maker in the hallway the unusual and unsafe placement was as a result of barbara's hoarding habits which resulted in areas of the home being blocked chris and barbara were okay but sadly one of their cats died in the fire after this their financial situation worsened partly as a result of many poor decisions such as chris spending a considerable amount of money on kids toys they begged fans for money or asked them to buy various items on ebay including signed photos of chris and bob's stamp collection please can buy christine chandler's merchandise to help us pay the mortgage in august chris began identifying as a lesbian insisting that you can be a male lesbian it wasn't until december that she announced that she was transgender later that month she assaulted a gamestop employee and later caused a commotion at walmart ultimately resulting in a night in jail a 541 dollar fine and a six-month suspended sentence the transgender announcement would give rise to a couple of baffling and disturbing events chris spent months listening to subliminal frequency hypnosis videos which she believed would give her the result of gender reassignment surgery without the surgery and eventually decided to make an incision in the crotch area in an attempt to free the as she believed was growing inside her over the next couple of years chris's views on certain things progressed and she apologized for her homophobic past bab was sued due to racking up twenty thousand dollars in debt sparking what is known as the financial crisis where she and chris got even more desperate in their begging for money i said nothing under a dollar in donations no donations less than one dollar we need the money chris had set up an etsy purge as an extra source of income but she was banned after she failed to fulfill orders tell mom we need the money and what do we need it for for food so i set up a gofundme help me achieve a goal of 400. to pay for everything i need in 2016 she made a facebook pass defending a relationship between a woman and her son at one point she openly admitted to dreaming about having with her mother which was creepy enough at the time but even more so considering recent developments in this story at one point they reportedly shared a bed together and it sounds like in general they had what most people would class as an inappropriate relationship chris continued to overshare and rant on social media even making death threats against donald trump and mike pence during this time chris was catfished by more trolls at one point believing she was in a relationship with vanessa hudgins and eventually started interacting with another troll the idea guy soon becoming the idea guys when another troll joined in they gaslighted chris and manipulated her by role-playing as her imaginary friends and convincing her that they had insider knowledge regarding cwc ville they brainwashed her into believing various things about herself such as that she was half sonichu and so was her father and ted bundy which naturally fueled her pre-existing delusions due to chris's almost unbelievably suggestible nature it has even been theorized that her transgenderism was only as a result of trolls brainwashing her implanting and reinforcing the idea in her mind over time no one but chris would know if this was the case or not there a group of people attempted to intervene and stop the idea guy's efforts to drive chris further into insanity and she eventually distanced herself but some of the psychological damage she suffered is likely irreversible chris never stopped believing in cwc veil and other dimensions and when the pandemic began in 2020 she believed it was a sign of the dimensional merge she originally predicted in 2018 however lockdown resulted in babscon and my little pony convention being cancelled which led to chris literally living as sonichu for nearly a year as in she actually seriously pretended in real life to be a fictional character as a coping mechanism she abandoned the role-playing in february 2021 which more or less brings us to the current situation just a few days ago at the time of writing the notes for this video chris now 39 was arrested amid allegations that she had with her 80 year old mother who has dementia shortly before a conversation between chris and an unknown individual was recorded in which she nonchalantly described being her mother on more than one occasion saying she was partially confused at one point then came around but overall enjoys the relationship with chris chris claims that baba initiated this contact between them and seems to believe she's doing it for her benefit even if barbara was in any position to consent which she isn't due to her age and mental state and the fact that it's implied she wasn't fully conscious sometimes it still made me sick to think that chris finally found her sweetheart and it was her mum all along after falling down this rabbit hole i'm left wondering if any of this could have turned out differently it's undoubtable that the trolls contributed to a deteriorating mental state but how far would chris's behaviour have gone if she was never exposed to the dark depths of the internet while ultimately as individuals we have to be held responsible for our own actions and chris needs to face consequences for what she has done the people who tormented provoked and even abused her online also have blood on their hands i'm not for a second saying that to excuse anything she's allegedly done it's unforgivable if true but we're talking about a severely artistic person who on many occasions has demonstrated that they are extremely immature don't know right from wrong and that they are very easily manipulated and brainwashed not only by people in their life but strangers on the internet too from the second chris was old enough to display such behavior she was enabled and in some ways even egged on by her family she never really had a chance while i don't agree with many of her prior views or actions i genuinely felt bad for her before this i can't imagine how awful it would be to have autism plus other psychological conditions to repeatedly put your trust in people and they just manipulate you and try to make you crazy if chris did do what she's accused of and what she's admitted to which is still a big if as i could just as much buy that this is all a fantasy that only exists in chris's head this wasn't totally unpredictable the relationship between chris and barbara was clearly unhealthy and inappropriate for a long time so what's next for chris honestly it doesn't look good if she gets convicted even if no other charges are added such as she faces up to 10 years in prison when she's out or in her current situation if she never goes to prison she may well have nowhere to live as barbara will likely go into a nursing home paid for by the house being sold it's unlikely any family would take her in and she has no friends to help her out either her best hope is some kind of assisted living facility as it's next to impossible that she would be able to support herself living independently there have been a couple of moments where it seemed like chris might turn a corner but if she is guilty of the recent accusations that would be an all-time low and at the edge she's at now i don't see how she could unlearn such detrimental and deep-rooted behavior we'll just have to wait and see where legal proceedings take her as for now she's currently in jail awaiting her next hearing on the 16th of september and it's unclear how she intends to plead i'd be interested to hear your thoughts in the comments have you followed the christian story and do you have anything else to add if sir if you enjoyed the video please consider liking and subscribing huge thank you to my patrons whose names are on screen now i really appreciate your support thanks for watching and i'll see you next thursday in a new video
