Chris Chan Arrested for Incest
The Chris Chan saga underlines the problem of enabling and glorifying mental illness
For those of you who are blissfully unaware of the Chris Chan saga of internet lore, there are literally hours long documentaries about Chris and how (s)he became internet famous.
Chris Chan was arrested Sunday in Henrico County, Virginia on one charge of incest. She is currently in the Henrico County Jail. Chan had admitted to having sexual intercourse with his/her 80 year old mother who suffers from dementia multiple times. She confided this information to a person named Bella who (s)he had come to trust. Unbeknownst to him/her Bella was recording the call and it is extremely disturbing. Chan talks about how “Barbara” his/her mother never had a lover (including her father) who was able to “find her G spot” and Chris goes into graphic detail. This is an 80 year old woman who is not able to consent as she has dementia and it not aware of where she is half the time. Chris took advantage of her condition many times in the past on camera. Chris would be streaming online and would tell her mother to ask for “donations” for them. It was clear she was not being taken care of, as she appears disheveled and the home was in disarray.
Newsweek reported1 on this story, here is an excerpt from their article:
Chris Chan, otherwise known as Mrs. Christine W. Chandler Sonichu, is a webcomic creator, artist, blogger, and YouTuber.
According to her Twitter bio, she says, "I am Mrs. Christine W. Chandler Sonichu, Goddess of the Nations of Cwcville, Comma, and the Commodore Consoles, and the Creator of Sonichu and Rosechu. She/Her."
Chan has nearly 60,000 followers on Twitter, posting under the handle @CPU_CWCSonichu.
According to Chan's Patreon account, she also is known as "Christian, Christopher, Chris Chan and so forth among my fan base and many trolls and cyber bullies on the internet since 2000."
According to a biography page called Wikitubia, Chan was diagnosed with high-functioning autism when she was young.
She attended Piedmont Virginia Community College in 2000 but was suspended for a year due to soliciting, and managed to get her degree in Computer Aided Drafting and Design in 2006.
The 39-year-old's career began in 2004 with the creation of her comic series, Sonichu—based around a character she made, which was a cross between Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu from Pokémon.
She also created the character of Rosechu, Sonichu's love interest in the series.
The Sonichu comics were posted to her website with videos she made about herself and her opinions and views. A website called Encyclopedia Dramatica created a page about Chan in 2007 that mocked her art, personality and alleged homophobia. Chan made several videos demanding the page be taken down and even went so far as to draw severely graphic pictures of her with one of her friends sexually to prove she was straight.
She had several YouTube channels under different names, and many of them were either hacked or taken down due to her making several "insulting videos."
One video was titled Twin Falling Towers, and the video gained severe backlash after she used the tragedy of the September 11 attacks to threaten two Internet instigators, Clyde Cash and Jack Thaddeus. Chan uploaded a follow-up video to apologize, but that video too was mocked for not being sincere enough.
Chan came out as transgender in 2016, legally changing her gender and coming out as bisexual shortly after.
According to sources, she has become an infamous trolling target due to her comics and behavior. Wikitubia claimed she was one of the most documented people on the internet.
And most recently, graphic texts and audio messages were leaked on the internet, in which Chan described molesting her own mother in great detail. She was arrested on Sunday and booked on a charge of incest.
Chris has a history of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior.
Chris Chan is apparently the most documented person on the internet. It was clear as far back in 2007 that Chan was suffering from severe mental illness and was not getting the proper care that she needed. Chris’s parents appeared to be enabling of Chris’s worst behavior and did not get her the help she needed when she was younger. Chris should never have been allowed unsupervised access to the internet. Chris would often have rage-filled outbursts in bizarre videos she would post online.
As Chris began the “Sonichu” comic, she became even more out of touch with reality starting to believe she was one of the comic characters. This was exacerbated by trolls online who encouraged her mental illness and sometimes spend months at a time trolling her. This further led to her delusions of grandeur and it became apparent that Chris was easily manipulated. Multiple trolls convinced Chris they were women and asked him to send nudes, videos and one even asked him to stick a medallion up his rectum to win their love. He did this and seemed obsessed with women and finding a girlfriend. This would later morph into what he referred to as his “lovequests” and he would often incorporate elements of his comic book work CWCville.
When Chris was being arrested she said the “dimensional merge” was happening and attempted to explain “Sonichu” to the cops. “Sonichu” was a mix of Pikachu from Pokemen and Sonic the Hedgehog that Chris created. She also seemed to be very concerned that the cops save a “my little pony” photo she had in her pocket.
This has been going around on the internet about the gendered language of the Virginia law but that is not really true. This law has since been updated so they are referring to an older version of it. Case law also suggests the gendered language doesn’t really matter, it is the letter of the law that matters.
There are many videos about Chris Chan online, the one linked above has the audio from the call between Chris and Bella where he goes into graphic detail about what she did to her mother Barbara.
The above video is actually age restricted due to the sensitive and disturbing nature of the content explored. There is so much information out there about Chris and what is really upsetting is you could tell (s)he needed treatment. It was like watching a slow motion train wreck and not being able to do anything to stop it.
Chris’s internet presence fueled his mental illness over the years and it got to the point where she started referring to herself as a literal “goddess” of CWCville.
Chris has a childlike mind and often blurs the line between fiction and reality. You can see this throughout his life. When Chris decided to become transgender (as a ploy to try to get closer to women) her mental illness was glorified by the left. They enable his narcissism by demanding people refer to her as a women and give her special privileges.
Chris’s father had old views about psychology thinking that they still lobotomized people which drove him to try to protect Chris from being properly treated for her issues. The parents didn’t want Chris to be “labeled” and they even switched schools when Chris was bullied. This seemed to add to Chris’s notion that rules didn’t apply to her and that she could get away with bad behavior and outbursts.
Ultimately it is hard to say who is to blame for what has happened with Chris Chan throughout his tenure on the internet, and in his life in general. We see that Chris had severe issues and needed help. We see how the internet fueled his bad behavior and how he was trolled and bullied. However, we also see how a troll was able to save his mother from sexual abuse by monitoring Chris and getting him to talk. I am hoping that while in jail Chris is able to get the help she needs. Had she been given Dialectic behavior modification treatment as a child she could have learned better coping mechanism and might have turned out differently.
