:Not to be confused with Chris Chann or Chris Channel / 獅子王クリス 【シュガリリ】.
Christine Weston "Chris" Chandler (born as Christopher Weston Chandler, on https://m.imdb.com/name/nm4813395/bio/), better known online as CwcvilleGuardian or Chris Chan, is an American YouTuber, vlogger, artist, and musician known for creating the web comic series Sonichu.
Chris originally identified as male, but came out as a transgender woman in 2016, and changed their name to Christine. Chris' internet career began in 1999 with the uploading of Sonichu comics to a personal website. They created their first YouTube channel Sonichu on May 8, 2007, which was around the time they became an infamous trolling target due to their comics and personal life. Chris has been noted as one of the first internet lolcows and is regarded as one of the most documented people in online history.
==Background==
===Early Life===
Chris was born as Christopher Weston Chandler on February 24, 1982, in Charlottesville, Virginia and was raised in Ruckersville, a town apart of the Charlottesville area. They are the child of Robert Franklin "Bob" Chandler Jr. and Barbara Ann Weston, who were aged 54 and 40 respectively at the time of Chris' birth. Bob worked as an electrical engineer for Western Electric and later General Electric, while Barbara worked as a financial secretary for Virginia Power (now called Dominion Energy), and later First North American National Bank (by Circuit City). According to Chris' anger management survey, they were delayed in their language ability and had developed high-frequency hearing loss.
According to their half-brother Cole Smithey, Chris was neglected by their parents for years, leaving them with an abusive babysitter named Roach whenever Barbara and Bob left the house. Chris has said that Roach would lock them in their toy-filled room whenever Roach was angry. Chris claims that this event was the source of their autism, which is false, since autism is a genetic condition that cannot be caused by traumatic events.https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/what-is-autism/the-causes-of-autism According to Chris and their half-brother Cole, their mother Barbara had also abused and manipulated them, and specifically abused Chris more than Joseph. An example of this was when Chris and Bob attempted to clean up Barbara's hoarded objects, which she threatened to commit suicide from it, so Chris and Bob never cleaned it up.
Chris did not speak at all until they were seven years old and visited James Madison University for speech therapy. During that time, they were diagnosed with "high-functioning" autism, with doctors predicting that they would never advance to high school, and was much less able to write their own name. However, in time, Chris was able to meet these cognitive milestones when they were finally able to talk by slowly reading off of a GoBot's package, thus ending their seven years of silence.https://web.archive.org/web/20210728135332/https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Autism
During the 1980s, Chris met and befriended their playmate and childhood friend Sarah Hammer. While Chris claims that they were friends, there were examples of Sarah bullying Chris when they were children. An example of this is when Sarah convinced Chris that cartoon character Casper the Friendly Ghost lived in the crawlspace underneath Chris' house, and when Chris crawled in there to look, Sarah locked them in for half an hour. On another occasion, Sarah tried to convince Chris to eat a honeysuckle because "it would taste like honey", which can be slightly harmful if ingested in large doses. Despite this, Chris had not shown any disdain towards Sarah and has even considered her as a potential girlfriend.https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Sarah_Nicole_Hammer#With_Wes_Iseli
In September 1987, Chris first attended Greene County Primary School in Stanardsville (now Nathaniel Greene Primary School) before transitioning to Nathanael Greene Elementary School in fourth grade, from 1991 to 1992. They claimed that they were abused by teachers and principals during elementary school. Examples include the faculty pinning them down to the ground, holding their wrists and ankles, and audiotaping them whenever they cried. Bob and Barbara took legal action against the school district of Greene County and by 1994, they would drop the case. The district recommended putting Chris in a special education school, but Bob refused the offer, fearing that Chris would be institutionalized and decided to homeschool Chris through the fifth grade during these proceedings.https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Chris%27s_education#Homeschooling
After the school board threatened to take Chris out of mainstream schools, Chris and Bob moved away from their Ruckersville home to Chesterfield County in September 1993. Barbara stayed in Ruckersville alongside their family dog Patti so she could continue working at Virginia Power.
In December 1992, Chris and Bob went to Regency Square Mall outside of Richmond during a Christmas shopping trip. They encountered a mall animatronic bear from the Leonard Bearstein Orchestra, a show comprised of animatronic characters that were held around the Christmas season. When the performer asked Chris for their name, the performer misheard the name "Christopher" as "Christian". Chris took this as a sign from God and felt that they should be called "Christian". In December 1993 (when they were nearly 12), Chris' name was legally changed from "Christopher" to "Christian".
Chris often liked to play video games and watched cartoons and films as a child, becoming hugely obsessed with the Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon franchises. In September 1993, shortly after moving to Chesterfield County, Chris attended Providence Middle School in Richmond until they graduated in the late spring of 1996. Also around that same time, Barbara moved to Chesterfield County to live with the family after she retired from secretarial services.
A few months later in September 1996, Chris began attending Manchester High School in Midlothian, where they met several female friends whom they called "gal-pals". However, they later found out that Bob had paid their friends since they wanted Chris to socialize more. During high school, they took two years of Spanish, took many art classes & served as a water boy in their freshman year for the varsity basketball team, which were the Manchester High Lancers. They graduated high school in June 2000 at age 18, with a miserable graduation experience for not winning honor roll. After moving back to Ruckersville, they studied at Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville, where they originally went into marketing before Bob changed their classes later on.
Around that time, Chris expressed a huge interest in finding a girlfriend due to their friends slowly cutting communication from them, which lead them to plaster attraction signs around the campus. However, they were suspended for a year by the dean due to soliciting, but would later return and graduate in May 2006, with an associate degree in Computer Aided Drafting and Design.
===Internet infamy===
On March 17, 2000, Chris created the comic series Sonichu in a graphic design class. They wanted to use the fictional characters Sonic and Pikachu on a CD cover, but were not allowed for legal reasons. They combined features from Sonic and Pikachu to create a brand new character called Sonichu.https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Sonichu_(character)#Creation_and_development The first Sonichu comic was released on March 24, 2005.https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Sonichu_0 they also created a virtual band called "Christian and the Hedgehog Boys", which featured characters from the Sonichu series as band members. Two albums called Christian & the Hedgehog Boys and Christian & the Hedgehog Boys COMEBACK! were released in 2003 and 2009 respectively. The music was made by singing over pre-existing pop songs and changing some of the lyrics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB2r78KIdsQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVrVhoDeXFM
Chris first gained the attention of several websites including 4Chan and Something Awful. Eventually in 2007, Encyclopedia Dramatica would make a page mocking Chris, and they would begin to leak private information about themselves on Encyclopedia Dramatica, ruining their relationship they had with a friend in the process. This would grab the attention of trolls and fake girlfriends, which included Clyde Cash, CChanSonichuCWC, Ivy O'Neil, and a troll named Marvin, among others. Chris has been ridiculed online for their art, their views on women, as well as homophobia, laziness, delusions, and narcissism, among other things. While there have been trolls who have attempted to help Chris change their life, some have negatively affected their mental health and well-being, such as BlueSpike, The Idea Guys, and Isabella Janke. Around this time, many people would become fascinated with Chris and began documenting their videos and messages onto a fan-created website called the CWCki. 
Nothing really happened with Chris' personal life in the 2000s as much as in their earlier decades, as they were not focused on work and were instead focused on video games, creating comics, and YouTube videos. However, there were instances where they was banned from stores and churches, possibly due to their infamous status or their soliciting to attract females. Chris has attempted to straw away from social media and focus on their personal life around March and April of 2010, but would fail with these attempts. 
===Current===
Around early 2011, Chris claimed they were a tomgirl and went through gender dysphoria, which their parents disapproved. Their transition was debated at the time, while trolls and the LGBTQ+ community criticized Chris for "pretending to transition" to get with lesbian women, there is no evidence nor was there ever a leaked or shared confession from Chris. In early-September 2011, Chris' father Bob was transferred to a hospital from complications of heart failure and was later put into quarantine due to numerous bug bites all over his body.
A few days later, on September 6, 2011, Bob passed away, which made Chris depressed and inactive from the internet, and many trolls targeted against them would soon decrease due to sympathy. On January 10, 2014, Chris and their family's house caught fire in the early morning, which firefighters were able to put out in two hours. While the cause of the fire is unknown, Chris claims it was caused by an extension cord from their coffee machine. Chris and their family later moved into a temporary rental house in Barboursville, Virginia, for a year before moving back to the Ruckersville home.
In May 2016, Chris changed their name for the second time to "Christine" after they came out as transgender in August 2014.They believed that their gender was changing after watching high-frequency videos, which led her to cut their male genitals to grow a vagina, resulting in an infection. Their gender was also legally changed to female, and they later came out as bisexual.https://kiwifarms.net/threads/fb-7-24-chris-has-a-new-drivers-license.22833/https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/983720055094562816 Around 2018, Chris started to believe that they were a goddess, dubbing themself as "Goddess Blueheart," and their followers are known as "CWCans" or the "Devotees of Chris Chan Sonichu."https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1190784675750514688 However, it is unclear how many people believe them since most of the cult members are considered to be trolls. They claim that our reality and cartoon reality would soon collide in a "Dimensional Merge," destroying 41% of humanity. Chris also said that everyone is an original character, and any characters people had created would come to life.https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Dimensional_Merge 
On August 1, 2021, Chris was arrested by the Richmond Police Department for accounts of incest charges towards their mother, as Barbara was or was not able to consent. They appeared in court on August 5, where they repeatedly interrupted and asked for demands. Chris was incarcerated at Central Virginia Regional Jail and had another court case on August 2023. During their incarceration, Chris would mail several letters and phone calls to fans and Kiwi Farms users declaring themself to be Jesus Christ reincarnated and warned that Judgment Day will supposedly be soon.https://kiwifarms.net/threads/chris-writes-me-from-prison-dated-september-19th-2021.100951/
On March 27, 2023, documents containing information that Chris was released from jail were leaked, shocking the internet. The website previously stated that they were bonded out but was soon changed to "released by court order." It is unknown why they were released in any circumstance, but it was said for Chris to remain free. It is presumed that Chris now resides in a halfway house or group home, based on the description of a person who sighted them after they were released from jail that they exited a Walmart in a large van driven by a woman. They also said the van was likely a shuttle for such a place. On August 25, 2023, Kiwi Farms leaked court documents which revealed that the incest charges were dismissed on August 8 and they would later live in a house nearby Lynchburg.https://twitter.com/GiBi_Devon/status/1695108403440349282

===CopperCab===
On October 23, 2017, American YouTuber CopperCab would interview Chris. A second part to the interview was spoken about but never released until August 5, 2021.https://sonichu.com/cwcki/CopperCab
===Nick Robinson===
On May 25, 2019, American YouTuber Nick Robinson would publish a video in which he briefly interviewed Chris to confirm whether a certain rumor was true.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sN3k-Dz96U The rumor being that Chris was the first person to encounter a secret and very unknown character in a Nintendo game. Chris ended up confirming that the rumor was false, however Chris had purchased and played the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sN3k-Dz96U
===TheGamerFromMars===
On December 30, 2019, American YouTuber TheGamerFromMars would take a road trip to meet Chris in Ruckersville, VA.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6bEcBe99QM They would record footage together playing video games and card games, as well as walking around town.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrK_yTI5fu8 Eventually in 2022, the footage would be seen in TheGamerFromMars's documentary series covering Chris.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6bEcBe99QM
As of June 2024, another episode of the docuseries is in the works. TheGamerFromMars has met up with Chris again in March 2024 for another interview.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbcjCjg_sPg
===Keffals===
On January 16, 2024 Canadian YouTuber Keffals would publish an interview with Chris. This is notably Chris's first interview since being released from jail in 2023. A few weeks after the video was published Keffals would private the video, possibly due to the backlash the video received from several YouTubers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COmcqsUI1MEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks7E-G3P2aghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrtw-zmN4Do
==Controversies==
===9/11 Video===
thumb|200px 
On November 1, 2009, Chris posted a video called "Twin Falling Towers" in which they threatened two trolls, Clyde Cash and Jack Thaddeus, by saying they will fall like the Twin Towers. The video would gain severe backlash from trolls and other viewers on how offensive the video is to the victims of the September 11 attacks. In response, Chris deleted the video and uploaded an apology saying it was meant to attack Clyde and not to mock the terrorist attack. But the video would still be criticized for Chris not taking the apology seriously. Years later, a troll named Marvin said that Chris got the idea from suggestions from online trolls.https://kiwifarms.net/threads/idea-guy-joshua-wise-manipulating-the-intellecutally-disabled-for-fun-megathread.37132/post-2831215
===Sexual Abuse towards Mother & Jail Letters===
On July 30, 2021, an audio file and text messages were leaked online in which Christine described in graphic detail how she sexually assaulted her own mother numerous times. Chris claimed that she started having sex with Barbara every three days beginning on June 27. In the text messages, Chris acknowledged that it was hurting Barbara and that she told Chris to stop.https://kiwifarms.net/threads/chris-chan-incest-leak-chris-has-been-removed-from-14-branchland-court.96559/ It's also unknown if Barbara consented to the incest since that, although it's possible that she could be suffering from dementia, people think Barbara could be faking it since she's pretended to have dementia during the begging videos for sympathy money. At the very least, it's unknown if the incest was consensual.
The leaks were verified to be real by Null, owner of the Kiwi Farms website and former associate of Chris. Chris had privately disclosed to Null on July 5 that she was in a relationship with someone "physically older" but was vague about who it was at the time. However, Chris left several clues that match Barbara's description, such as occupation and interests. In the conversation with Null, Chris said that she "no longer believes in labels" (apparently referring to their mother-daughter relationship) and that she has no regrets about what she did.https://kiwifarms.net/threads/everything-chris-told-me-about-their-girlfriend.96659/ Chris also confirmed the allegations in Twitter DMs with another YouTuber named Dillin Thomas.https://twitter.com/DHTDillinThomas/status/1421244971894534147
So far, Chris' only public response is a tweet on July 30 telling her followers to ignore the situation.https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1421143897795964936 Prior to this event, Chris and Barbara were noted for their inappropriate behavior, such as flirting and cuddling together. In 2016, Chris admitted to having dreams about having sex with Barbara, and in 2019, referred to her as a "guilty pleasure waifu". Also in 2016, when responding to a Facebook post about an incestuous couple who got arrested, Chris stated that incest "offers a chance for better teaching the child how to better satisfy their eventual partner(s)".https://sonichu.com/cwcki/August_2016_Facebook_posts#Incestuous_Thoughts 
The person who originally called Chris was allegedly found out to be a troll named Isabella Janke. She has gotten backlash for encouraging Chris to do bad behavior, animal abuse, possible murder, doxing, and cyber bullying.https://kiwifarms.net/threads/isabella-loretta-janke-summary-thread.97658/ Isabella then tried to frame another woman that Chris had previously befriended, which then led to Isabella being doxed by Kiwi Farms, which she tried to hide.https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Isabella_Loretta_Janke#Incest_Call_leak_aftermath On September 19, 2021, Chris sent a letter to Null from prison giving insight into her reasoning and mental state. They stated she was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and how she wanted "to heal, cleanse, and clear Barbara of all of their past sins...", just like how Jesus would cleanse their people. She also blamed Null for releasing the audio and text messages, explaining how she had nowhere else to go after she was thrown out of their house. On October 6, she sent another letter to a fan named Kenneth Englehardt in which they further elaborate her god like status and as well as comparing the Second Coming to the dimensional merge. She threaten to use her divine authority to trolls if they would ever steal their belongings from their home. The also talked about their experience in jail, in which they meditates while also playing cards.
On October 25, Chris sent another two letters each to Kenneth and another fan. They again talked about her experience in jail, in which they criticize staffs' attitudes, enjoying the rec room and meditating while playing with their delusions about their godlike status, Dimensional Merge and "The Collective Shifts", where the "good and neutral", their home and everything else from reality would be sent to the dimension before the end of the world. Five days later, they sent another letter to Kenneth in which they instruct their fans to visit and donate money and food to Barbara, as well as telling them to donate their inmate account. They also have another delusional belief about "Holy Labels", in which they wrapped laminate bottles covered with beverages sent to people to "enjoy thy liquid consumptions with [their] Blessings...".
On November 8, Chris sent two letters, dach to a YouTuber stories from the penitentiary, and a fan. The first letter gives a much more insight on their mental health, jail experiences among other things; over 35 letters have been sent to them, they were kept separated from other inmates, presumably kept in a solitary confinement for their safety, writing daily "Goddess Log" journals and playing solitaries with prayer rug put on a deck, and her belief that "Qur'an is a "Family Guy" and the bible is "Simpsons" when few letters tried to convert Chris into Islam. The second letter is Chris mentioning that some officers are being "indifferent" or "incompetent" to them and that they have been playing basketball on an exercise yard.
On October 17, 2023, Chris Chan would post a video onto YouTube denying the incest towards their mother and that they're innocent. They say that trolls online fabricated the "shipping" between them and Barbara and Isabella Janke edited the audio to make them look bad, though Chris says that they were aware of her manipulation and driving them to commit suicide. Chris also says they were proven innocent and they only reason why they were kept in jail for so long was because they didn't know what to do with them due to their mental disability, but they were able to put Chris into a livable space, though where specifically wasn't specified. Chris would say that they were no longer going to fall for these trolling attempts in the future and that Isabella Janke should be put in prison.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDR6e83zrWg&t 
====Legal proceedings====
On July 30, 2021, an emergency protective order was put in place, and Chris was removed from her family home. She was not allowed to return to the house until August 5.https://twitter.com/KiwiFarmsDotNet/status/1421178331102388235 The next day, however, she violated the protective order by stealing $750 from Barbara's bank account.https://kiwifarms.net/threads/chris-chan-incest-leak-chris-has-been-removed-from-14-branchland-court.96559/page-407#post-9580110 Null had been made aware of this transaction via a confirmation email, due to their access to Chris' emails. When they confronted them about this, Chris initially denied ever siphoning the $750 from Barbara's bank account. However, when a screenshot of the confirmation email was displayed to them, she then confessed that she had online control of Barbara's account, but she said it was "an emergency" and that she planned on returning the $750 to Barbara after $1,000 (presumably from their GoFundMe for a trip to Everfree Northwest, a My Little Pony convention held in Seattle, WA) was added to her account. Frustrated with Chris' dishonesty, Null reported their actions to law enforcement and has currently ceased communication with hers.
On August 1, 2021, Chris was arrested at the Regency Inn, located in Richmond, Virginia where they were staying as a result of being evicted from her home. She was led away by police and was charged with felony incest, with additional charges pending. She was taken to Henrico County Regional Jail and later moved to Central Virginia Regional Jail, where she used to be held without bond.https://kiwifarms.net/threads/chris-has-been-arrested.96810/ The event was recorded by several onlookers, one of them being Ethan Ralph, of the Ralph Retort, who had attempted to bribe Chris into appearing on a podcast, the Killstream earlier that day. Ralph's motives of trying to have Chris on their show was to "get back" at Null from Kiwi Farms (who took care of Chris since the Idea Guys controversy) because Null and Ralph has an ongoing rivalry since Null has made a joke on Ralph's expense on an old stream of their. During the arrest, Chris continued to be delusional and declared that the Dimension Merge had officially begun.
On August 5, 2021, Chris Chan first appeared in court. Chris was noted for announcing to the courtroom that they're famous on the internet, and for throwing a tantrum because she wasn't allowed to grab her stuff that she left at home.https://dailyprogress.com/community/greenenews/news/internet-personality-chris-chan-in-court-on-incest-charge/article_eaa0710c-f492-11eb-bba8-7f35686d288a.html The judge deemed Chris to be a danger to the public and ordered her to remain in police custody without bond until the preliminary hearing, which was originally scheduled for September 16, but it was moved to November 18. The reason for doing so was for Chris' lawyer to evaluate their mental health. However, the court date was postponed once again to 2022 for unknown reasons. On February 28, 2022, Chris Chan was transferred to Western State Hospital, a state psychiatrist hospital located in Staunton, Virginia for restoration as they declared their mentally incompetent to stand trial. As of early May of 2022, Chris was transferred back to Central Virginia Regional Jail.https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Western_State_Hospital
On July 28, 2022, a troll called into the courthouse and confirmed that Chris would be going to a grand jury, with the possibility of her receiving felony charges.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uQkwRB8njA On August 8, Chris went to a grand jury and is given a continuance due to a lack of evidence and pestering from trolls. The next day, a hearing took place to discuss her continued custody. Another review will take place on August 8, 2023. Since the case has been sealed, there was no new activity heard from Chris.
On August 29, 2022, it was rumored that Chris had allegedly fled from the courthouse after asking if she could use the bathroom and fled through the bathroom window.https://www.distractify.com/p/did-chris-chan-escape However, Chris' lawyer denied these rumors and that she was still being held in custody.https://www.dailydot.com/debug/chris-chan-jail-escape-rumors-meme/ On March 27, 2023, it was revealed in a leaked image that Chris was released from Central Virginia Regional Jail. While it originally said she was bonded out, the description was quickly changed saying it was done by a court order. In August 2021, Greene County Attorney, Edwin Consolvo had previously said Chris would be denied bond due to safety concerns.https://www.insider.com/chris-chan-saga-timeline-incest-charges-arrest-2021-8#according-to-a-report-chandler-said-im-famous-on-the-internet-in-their-first-court-appearance-7 On August 25, 2023, Kiwi Farms leaked court documents which revealed that the incest charges were dismissed on August 8.https://twitter.com/GiBi_Devon/status/1695108403440349282 On September 7, users on the Chris Chan Reddit discovered that their car had been parked outside of Barbara's house, suggesting that they've returned to live with her.https://twitter.com/TiredMemeClown/status/1698877557813203111 On the same day, a private Twitter DM confirmed that Chris Chan would be returning online soon as they've been taking a hiatus.https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/16cq2uf/my_online_return_is_coming/
===="The Chase"====
Weeks after the news of her release, on May 1, 2023, Chris was spotted at a Walmart in Midlothian near Richmond, Virginia. A photo of one of the sightings was posted by Reddit user u/DarylMcGoofyGuy, according to him, a friend sent him the picture.https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/1350b35/chris_sighting_at_a_walmart_a_friend_sent_me_this On the same day, another Reddit user, u/Alternative_Roof1940, also known as Brennan Foster, posted CCTV photos of Chris at Walmart,https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/1350yv5/chris_chan_at_my_local_walmart_not_a_drill/ as well as uploading a video to their YouTube account of Chris Chan walking outside the store.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tvvdJrpYbu8 According to Foster, they saw Chris walk into a large black van, but didn't take photos of it for the sake of the woman drivinghttps://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/1350yv5/comment/jihhtfg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x, said van is presumably a shuttle for a halfway house or group home where Chris now resides. During the days that followed, she was also spotted at the store Battlegrounds in Midlothian and outside a Donatos Pizza at Chesterfield Towne Center.https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/1366xdf/chris_spotted_in_a_local_game_shop/#https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/13703h9/chrischan_seen_in_public/ Many followers of Chris Chan refer to this post-jail time of sightings as "The Chase". 
====Public reaction====
Much of the fans were appalled and disgusted, mostly at Chris for her sexual relationship with her mother. She began to trend on Twitter where most felt it was the end of the ironic humor of Chris. It was so highly discussed that, for a few hours, Chris Chan was trending higher than the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.https://twitter.com/adachiscastle/status/1421145104081956865 Many popular YouTubers such as Optimus, Bowblax, and Lessons in Meme Culture made videos discussing the situation. Many news articles and stations talked about Chris Chan's arrest, such as Fox News. The situation also caused a major controversy on social media, primarily Twitter and YouTube, due to left-wing commentators complaining about people intentionally misgendering Chris Chan, while others argued that they should be more concerned about Chris' crimes than her pronouns.https://kiwifarms.net/threads/chris-misgendering-spergout.96652/ On August 2, 2021, Chris' Patreon account was suspended by the website's Trust and Safety team for "harmful and illegal activities." https://kiwifarms.net/threads/what-will-chriss-fate-be.96658/page-15#post-9620523 Some have tried to defend Chris as some say she was manipulated by trolls into incest.
