Chris is a victim. I'm not saying that Chris has never done anything wrong, but ultimately, Chris is a victim. Chris was born to the wrong people at the wrong time. A time when their was a very limited understanding of autism among medical professionals. Also, despite what people claim, Chris was never sexist or racist. The "creepiness" that Chris displayed in regards to women was due to their medium-functioning autism. Because of them having the mind of a young child, Chris did not know how to properly go about getting a girlfriend, and, obviously, would never have been successful at getting one, unless they were an autist on the same level as Chris. Also, Barbara 'Barb' Chandler doesn't really have dementia. She was faking it in those videos in order to gain sympathy. She is a master manipulator. She emotionally abused her husband, Robert 'Bob' Chandler, and Chris(especially Chris) for years. After Bob died, she forced Chris to give her buttocks rubs and spoon with her every night for years.

I have autism and I started drawing around high school. But my art skills were on the same level as Chris Chan.

The difference is he never wanted to improve.

[@MadameSomnambule]

Exactly. I drew in a similar way that Chris does up until the middle of high school, line by line as opposed to lightly sketching. I learned to sketch back in like 10th or 11th grade or so, so fairly late ig but also not quite? What prompted me to start using guidelines in sketches was my perfectionism kinda. Like, Chris has got EVERY opportunity to actually learn to sketch and properly learn perspective. Does Chris ever take the time to do that though? Of course not. Hell, for perspective, one of my discord friends started drawing fairly late around early adulthood (she also has autism btw) and her art is slowly improving and I could tell.

[@MitsueOokami]

There's a reason a few characters come and go from the comics, a lot of characters Chris had put in their comics were inspired by trolls that were in contact with Chris at the time of that particular issue and characters created by them. The red haired Lady in 4:19 is known as the troll Ivy who was later written out of the comic once Chris found out she was actually a troll and not a genuine sweetheart, same happened with all of Chris' other love interests (with the only exception being the first one, Megan, who used to be a close friend of Chris' but left after they drew a.... very unsavory piece of art with her in it.) Some characters Chris got attached to were kept in the comics, particularly the female characters like the sheep (she's supposed to be the pokemon flaaffy i believe) beside Ivy (both made by the same troll) and the jigglypuff character(made by another troll, i believe it was the one called PandaHalo?), but overall most characters lose their importance in the comic relatively quickly in favor of making Chris the focus of the comic. Like you said, even Sonichu himself becomes more of a side character as soon as the "Anchuent Prophecy" arc begins and Chris gets their super hedgehog powers. In regards to Chris' gender, it's a bit of a hot topic within the community. Many refuse to use she/her for Chris due to a large consensus that Chris' transition is merely another one of their delusions and a futile attempt to get with a girl by regarding themself as a trans lesbian. This is backed by the fact that Chris will use transphobic language to address someone they dislike as it happened with a transwoman troll whom they deadnamed, mocked her transition and only referred to her with male pronouns. Chris does, however, usually address other trans people by their preferred pronouns. Some people simply don't want to be associated with Chris and would rather not accept them into the community due to their numerous mishaps, including using discrimitation against their identity as the reason many stablishments have banned them. (So saying that banning them is dicrimination against *all* lesbians and transwomen). Chris-chan's life is a fascinating descent into madness, so interesting and yet so pitiful. I honestly wonder sometimes how Sonichu would have turned out if the trolls had never twisted it beyond recognition.

I know Chris had a contempt for males, but I would figure at least a few would appear maybe. I'm shocked Rouge would not titillate Chris enough to draw one thing with her. It seems like his entire consumption of the series was just...Sonic himself. His entire cast is just variations of Sonicchu, and their all electric(again why does he like electric pokemon so much? Did he think Pikachu in the show was a proof of Electric being the best?). They are derivatives of derivatives. No personality or need to exist in anyway.

People compare it to Tails gets trolled. But, that's wrong. Tails' artwork gets better as time goes on and it's actually good, Sonichu gets boring.

Sometimes I hate myself over my (lack of) art skill but Chris Chan's even more blatant lack of art skill makes me feel a bit more self confident

[@lukasglatt764]

I always found it funny how chris talked about his online "fans" like i cant even think about anyone who thinks this absolute garbage of a Story which only serves for Chris to vent about his life is good. Also funny thing is that the whole thing was original intented to be for Kids.

[@robinnoto5575]

as an artist im usually nice about people's skill level with art because we all start somewhere. Chris however seems incapable of getting any better so i will point and laugh with the rest of humanity :)

[@robokid20001]

It's actually impressive that he's been drawing exactly the same characters for like 20 years and hasn't gotten a single bit better.

[@Optimegatrongodzilla]

@@robokid20001 Chris has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old.

[@Optimegatrongodzilla]

@Robin Noto Nothing about Chris's lifestory is funny. It is a tragedy. We are talking about a severly autistic person with the mental capacity of a 7-year-old who was failed spectacularly by their moronic parents, and who was driven batshit insane through being bullied, deceived, & manipulated online for over 15 years! Chris is a victim. I'm not saying that Chris has never done anything wrong, but ultimately, Chris is a victim. Chris was born to the wrong people at the wrong time. A time when their was a very limited understanding of autism among medical professionals. Also, Barbara 'Barb' Chandler doesn't really have dementia. She was faking it in those videos in order to gain sympathy. She is a master manipulator. She emotionally abused her husband, Robert 'Bob' Chandler, and Chris(especially Chris) for years. After Bob died, she forced Chris to give her buttocks rubs and spoon with her every night for years. She groomed Chris. If she really had dementia, she wouldn't have been allowed to be living by herself after Chris's arrest, and she wouldn't have been allowed to still be a licensed driver.

[@ycart_2099]

The fact that Chris Chan: uses self-inserts, puts people he doesn't like into garbage scenarios while having people he does like accompany him in his comics, and writes (essentially) fan fics of preexisting material he already enjoys and respects, means that he's basically a modern-day Dante Alighieri.

[@SMEARGLEX75]

I doodle on my free time (I will admit, I'm insecure of showing my Doodles TBH, so please respect that [could be my Autism screwing with me]). If there is one thing that worries me about being a Doodler, is not improving once. Chris Chan doodled for like 3 Decades, and how is it possible for him to not improve ONCE?

[@JustDT851]

[@MadameSomnambule]

Chris's art style looks like how my art style looked when I was in 2nd grade. He's been drawing like this for years and never even improved. He never learned to sketch or properly use colors and it shows. He also clearly draws line by line with a ballpoint pen like I used to do as a kid/teen.

[@Hellwolf36]

The sad part is that he seriously believed that doing what the Sonic fandom's more cringey parts and stealing 2 existing IPs was going to net him millions. It ultimately turned into an expose of what he truly believes in, a reflection of his current mental state and an extreme example of how to fail in art and especially creative writing. The only way one can possibly make money off of this ludicrous idea is to turn it into a comedic parody of the Sonic and/or Pokemon's worst elements of their fandoms and use it as a caricature to poke fun of them. You can then put a disclaimer at the start of your series to show that you are a fan-based parody and that Sonic and Pokemon are owned by their respective IPs. Once you get a following and establish rules, then you can do the zany shit and start up Patreon. You also do nothing about the trolls or you embrace their behaviour as plot devices for the comic. That at least takes some mental effort and you have to be very skilled at creative writing in order to pull this off. However, we all know that Chris was a fucking idiot, he had way too many demons and skeletons in his closet that both hindered him and made him the open target of ridicule, the way he wrote his comics is a jumbled mess and he seemed to be more motivated to pick fights with trolls and play with his games and toys than actually work on "his craft". He should have just quit while he was ahead and got a proper job instead.

This comic is like if you dropped several tabs of acid, watched pokemon, sonic, yuguioh, and transformers all at the same time on four separate tv screens with the absolute shittiest video quality possible, and all blasting at maximum volume, then watched a true crime documentary for good measure, and then just stared at a piece of dirty paper and let your hallucinations do the rest

I don’t think people know how serious you were being when you said sonichu scars the readers mentally. It sounds like an exaggerated joke but it’s REALLY not.

And thank to sonichu, he found out secrets to traitors and got them executed with Chris chan singing, which make people heads explode. Save us some money from not using gun powder. We even found out Korean CIA spies. And guess who got promoted. Me now I am a general, and chief non lethal torturer expert. And now my family is not only saved, but we get 3 meals.
