Editing Christine Weston Chandler (section)

=== Sonichu and attracting the interest of trolls ===
In 2004, Chandler created his own Sonichu website where he started posting comics of the character. The work went relatively unnoticed until 2007, when a forum user on the Something Awful forum posted about how they had seen Chandler's sign and started to dig into his online persona. Soon, other forums like 4chan picked up on Chandler and started to dig into his history.

One of these users created a page on Encyclopedia Dramatica, a hate-website dedicated to NSFW trolling, that quickly became the most popular page on the platform. It featured unauthorized pictures and conversations about him and in a 2007 email, Chandler described his discovery of this site as the "worst weekend" of my life.

In response, Chandler updated the page himself, calling it "information overload" and eventually posting five nude drawings. The interaction just encouraged the trolls to try to get a response out of Chandler, which sometimes worked.

For the next decade, trolls pretending to be girlfriends would encourage Chandler to do and share videos of inappropriate content.
