Christine Weston Chandler: Difference between revisions

* 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.

* 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.
