Chandler is known on darker corners of the internet as one of the most cataloged people online. Facebook posts, private messages, YouTube videos, and even purchase receipts from his hacked email accounts are all available. Chandler divulged some of this information himself, while other aspects were gathered by trolls who teased and manipulated Chandler online by pretending to be girlfriends, imaginary rivals, or fans.

Chandler first became known for his outlandish offline behavior, before gaining notoriety for creating the Sonichu character, which became a meme fascination. Now Chandler maintains a YouTube channel with 50,000 subscribers and a Twitter account and draws commissions and art to maintain a living. Chandler's following has ranged from ironic onlookers to trolls over the course of the past 13 years. He's picked up a small but devoted following who chronicles his every movement on the CWCki.

Near the end of June 2021, Chandler told some fans that he began an incestuous relationship with his mother Barbara (long speculated to be on a mental decline and therefore unable to consent) to a handful of fans.<ref>[https://meaww.com/who-leak-chris-chan-message-audio-kiwifarm-thread-graphic-rape-mother-dementia-79-full-text Who leaked Chris Chan's messages? Mother's sexual assault outed by undercover investigator], ''meaww.com''</ref> Chandler previously told his advisor who is the owner of the website Kiwi Joshua Moon, also known as Null that he'd found a boyfriend-free girl over the age of 50 who was an accountant years ago – details which match up with a description of who Barb is – leading Null to believe that Chandler actually found a girlfriend who he didn't want people to find out about before he eventually realized that Chandler molested his mother. Following this horrifying revelation, the damage done to Chris was swift and immeasurable as Christine and Barbara were separated by authorities and Christine was arrested. From August 2021 to March 2022, he was incarcerated in Central Virginia Regional Jail without bond, but once been transferred to a facility that is currently undisclosed and became incarcerated again recently. As of July 2022, he is likely facing felony charges as the case has gone to a grand jury.<ref>[https://reduxx.info/internet-celebritys-incest-charges-to-go-before-a-grand-jury/ Internet Celebrity’s Incest Charges to Go Before a Grand Jury], ''Reduxx''</ref>

== History ==

=== Early life ===
Chandler was born in February 1982, in Ruckersville, Virginia to parents Robert and Barbara.

According to a 2004 intake survey done by a doctor at the University of Virginia Health System that Chandler shared with trolls, he was diagnosed with "autism at around age five or six." He attended Manchester High School in Midlothian, Virginia, describing the four years in a 2013 Facebook post as the best days of his life.

In 2000, he created Sonichu for a high school project, a cross between the Pokemon Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonichu has become Chandler's most long-lasting creation, with him making over a dozen comics that he's posted online. For the majority of her time online, Chandler wore a Sonichu medallion around his neck at all times.

While attending Piedmont Virginia Community College in 2003, Chandler chronicled his "Love Quest" in his own online diary, where he carried around a large sign that read "Seeking an 18-21-Year Old Single Female Companion," approaching women and asking for a date. After weeks of holding the sign on campus, the Dean of Students banned Chandler from using it while on school grounds, according to Chandler's edits on the CWCki.

Undeterred, Chandler continued to use the sign and technique at the Charlottesville Fashion Square mall throughout 2004 to no success, according to journal entries from the year. Mall security guards, which Chandler had dubbed "jerkops," banned her from the location without a parent present according to transcripts from his diary. After the ban, Chandler moved his "Love Quest" online, inviting trolls into his life.

=== 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.

=== Death of his father and house burning down ===
In 2011, Chandler's father Robert died of heart failure, devastating him. Another life-changing event would happen in 2014, when an extension cord fire burnt down the Chandler family home, Chandler would post about the fire on Facebook, sharing that he "lost our home and our memories." A CBS 19 report said that the house fire started around 3 a.m. and that it started in a first-floor bathroom.

Financial burdens stemming from the house fire and debt accrued after the passing of Robert, as well as legal fees from the assault trial(see Other Arrests), caused Chandler to have to sell off belongings and create sculptures, comics, and art to be bought by fans on Patreon, eBay, and Etsy.

=== Claiming that fictional universes are real ===
Throughout this period, trolls continued to fester in Chandler's life. Chandler has said in videos and on Twitter that fictional universes are real and can be reached through a "dimensional merge."

Over the past three years, Chandler has continued pushing the idea of the "dimensional merge" on his social media. In November 2020, Chandler posted a video on his CWCVilleGuardian YouTube channel, saying that "portals have been appearing between worlds, causing dimensions to collide." He states that the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters are a sign that all life on earth will be "extinguished" when the dimension of Sonichu characters collides into our reality. He also says in the video that six months ago he "merged" with Sonichu, shares a body with the character and has "every power you can think of in this dimension and then some, no exceptions." He has stated that he is in a "polyamarous relationship" with fictional characters from his own Sonichu world, as well as the Pokemon Mewtwo.

=== Arrest for charges of incest ===
On July 30, a call and texts were shared on the Kiwi Farms forum, of someone purported to be Chandler saying that he had had a sexual relationship with his mother Barbara. The texts showed Chandler molesting his mother after Barbara said no and performing oral sex on her after telling his friend Barbara was getting used to being touched by Chandler. The call quickly spread throughout social media, with users disgusted by Chandler's actions. 

On August 1, Chandler was arrested at a hotel in Richmond on charges of incest, with the arrest being live-streamed on YouTube.<ref>[https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/news/a-timeline-of-chris-chanaposs-incest-charge-and-the-yearslong-online-troll-interest-in-the-apossonichuapos-creatoraposs-relationship-with-her-mother/slidelist/85054017.cms A timeline of Chris Chan's incest charge and the yearslong online troll interest in the 'Sonichu' creator's relationship with her mother], ''Business Insider India''</ref> On Wednesday, Chandler was transferred to the Central Virginia Jail from Henrico County where he was being held. On Monday, the Henrico jail confirmed he was being held without bail and no court date had been established. It was reported that he was detained in the women's jail, however this was later determined to be false. On August 6, Chandler appeared in court, he requested that he be allowed to pick up his personal belongings, and upon being refused, angrily stamped his feet, claiming he would not feel safe without them. Chandler will be held without bond until his next court hearing, following grand jury hearings to determine felony charges. Starting from September 19, Chandler would begin to write letters from jail; One thing that remains consistent about all four of them is that he believes himself to be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. He also claimed in one of the letters that he was curing his mother from all her "past sins and regrets" by committing incest with her. Chandler even states in multiple letters that he will be released soon, when this is clearly unlikely at this point since he continues to be held without bail.  

In February 2022 Chandler was transferred to Western State Hospital, a psychiatric hospital in Staunton, Virginia and returned to CVRJ in May. He had been transferred there to be restored to competency so he could stand trial or plead guilty. While there, he had some sort of outburst and had to be restrained, which he compared to a similar incident from elementary school (even claiming in a letter that it gave him PTSD to that incident).

Following this stay, Chandler claimed in another letter that he had not committed the acts of which he was accused.  Many have suggested that this may make it impossible for him to plead guilty, forcing the prosecution to bring the case to trial. As of July 2022, the case has been sent to a grand jury, possibly confirming this theory.

== Transgender debate ==
There has been a large debate around Chandler's gender identity. As Chandler's ideas about the world were influenced by the media he consumed, especially films and TV shows aimed at children, it is believed this is part of his misunderstanding of what it means to be either a man or a woman. When he identified as a male he based his personality on tough guy stereotypes seen in cartoons. His ideas about women also come from his consumption of media, which is evident in the Sonichu comics, as the female characters in those are depicted as stereotypes of women from cartoons. In one issue Sonichu had to accompany his girlfriend Rosechu to the mall where she goes on a shopping spree, in another she is kidnapped, becoming a damsel in distress and Sonichu has to save her. These are common stereotypes of women in cartoons. In another comic, a female character states stereotypes of boys from cartoons, such as never being sad and only liking gross things and being violent.

Chandler also made the decision to transition because a troll suggested that he should become a transwoman to try and attract lesbians, which is unlike other trans people, who transition because they feel that they were born into the gender identity they ultimately express themselves as. Chandler also believes that the 3 names he's had throughout his life, Christopher, Christian and Christine are 3 different personalities he's had throughout his life, as well as being able to jump between them and have different ones possess his body at different times.

Chandler has even gone as far as to say that he believes to be the reincarnation of a woman in the 1960s attending Woodstock, as well as thousands of years ago he was an important alien princess from a different galaxy exiled from her home planet, calling himself a female soul. This was based on a dream he had. Chandler has never shown any indication of dysphoria or gender questioning, typical things trans people have gone through.

There was also how through a large part of 2020 Chandler claimed to be possessed by Sonichu rather than one of his female characters, having no trouble being male for a good chunk of the year. Furthermore, while he is currently in Jail, Chandler is claiming to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.

Many people say that because Chandler identifies as a woman then his pronouns should be respected, however, others refute this due to how Chandler is generally agreed to be delusional and people should not accept someone's identity at face value.

It is also worth mentioning that many members of the trans and LGBT Community don't want to be associated with Chandler, saying he makes them look bad, as well as the degrading comments he made about them when he identified as male. Since Chandler is said to have the mind of a child, people believe it was easier for him to try and become a woman, rather than accept he failed to become a man.

== Other arrests ==
In addition to the incest arrest, Chandler has been arrested for various other offenses. Most were public disturbance or trespassing offenses, but some were notably violent(interestingly they both occurred at video game retailers that Chandler had been banned from).

* October 28, 2011: Chandler had previously been banned from Cville's Hobbies, Games and Toys, also known as the Game Place, for harassing fellow customers and loitering. After numerous failed attempts to reverse the ban, Chandler ran over the store's manager Michael Snyder with her car. He was charged with assault, failure to stop after an accident, and trespassing. Because Barbara also hit Snyder with her van and attempted to stop the police from arresting Christine, she was charged with failure to stop and assault on a law enforcement officer. They pled guilty and were sentenced to community service and probation. Chandler was also ordered to undergo psychological treatment and evaluation.
* December 26, 2014: In protest of Sonic the Hedgehog's usually tan arms being changed to blue in the video game ''Sonic Boom'', Chandler had vandalized displays of the game. This resulted in him being banned from GameStop in Charlottesville. In retaliation, he pepper-sprayed the manager (it did not injure him as it only hit his shirt). Similarly to the Snyder incident, Chandler pled guilty and received a sentence similar to the previous crime. In this instance, losing the case could have resulted in a felony charge, as "Dangerous gas, unlawful release" is a class 6 felony in Virginia if the offender does so non-maliciously.

== Trivia ==
* Before coming out as transgender, Chandler was extremely insecure about his sexuality. He admitted to being homophobic, believing that there was the possibility that a homosexual man, or any man, might make him gay. Despite this, Chandler still made a mildly homophobic joke about Sonic's archenemy Robotnik's alternative name Eggman being "Nah, I'm gay" backwards even after coming out.
* His favorite movie as a child was ''The Adventures of the American Rabbit''. Its shallow portrayals of morals and honesty, as well as its numerous inconsistencies, are believed to have influenced Chandler's worldview and the Sonichu comic.
*There is also that one time where Chris Chan joked about The [[9/11]] from 2001, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYNiulvdH0o we are not making this up].
* Coincidentally, her 40th Birthday occurred on the same day the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]] began.
*He also did a Blackface as Mr.Popo where he basically mocked African tribal singing, which is very racist. Click this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N06ImNoXss4&t=33s link] to see for yourself.
*His Webcomic series "Sonichu" got an intentionally bad animated series, which was actually pretty decent. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-lQDKuc6rw&t=2073s Take a look]. The reason the series got canceleed after Season 2 Episode 2 was because the [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Sonichu_the_Animated_Series creator got tired of trolling chris]
