I needed to search for the ONE Announcement Trailer Video of the DAMN TV Show. To best answer this question, and to VERY MUCH my visual dismay and further recollection: I HAVE been feeling this SINCE Last February. I have just received a question from one of my girl friends: "So, I'm curious, where did you hear about this blue-armed Sonic Issue? Is it something you discovered on your own, or is it a bigger issue in the Sonic community?" In December he offered the following chronology: 1.24 Give Me 10 Good Reasons, I Need to KnowĬhris's hatred for Sonic's blue arms started in February 2014, when the first advertisements for the Sonic Boom TV show appeared on Cartoon Network.1.23 Assault threat against Woodley and Frost.1.19 You Dropped a Glitterbomb on Me, Baby.1.16 Chris Gives Up and Continues On at the Same Time.1.11 Green Irises Are Better Than Blarms.1.10 Chris (Still) Blames Everyone Else for His Problems (Wait, Did We Say Still? We Meant Always).1.8 The Forces of CWCville Besiege GameStop.At least he isn't complaining about Sonic's green eyes? In other words, this makes the superficial reactions to Godzilla supposedly getting " fatter" in the 2014 movie, or the new designs for the lightsabers in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, seem simple and quaint in comparison. Whatever the reason, it certainly isn't healthy for Chris, given his current state. It could simply be some overly-attached nostalgia to the 'original' Sonic the Hedgehog, or possibly some inner-venting for his own failed franchise that he is determined to get into Super Smash Bros. Why Chris has such a bizarre distaste for such a minor, insignificant detail in the first place is still up for speculation. Chris said that they were sent to him by Catherine. On 13 January 2015, it was revealed that he owned copies of the games. Given his irrational hatred and acts of vandalism towards otherwise available games, the former seemed more likely. When GameStop employees rightfully tried to make him leave the store, he agreed to walk out, but only after brandishing his can of mace and spraying it at one poor employee's shirt.Īt first, it was unclear whether Chris would boycott Sonic Boom or just buy the games and watch the show like the consumerist lemming he is. Unfortunately, unlike previous bouts of anger where Chris would film himself or take to social media to rage at his target, in this instance, he decided to take a hands-on approach to it by vandalizing copies of Sonic Boom wherever he saw them. His angry, incoherent letters to Sega clearly show that Chris's prolonged estrangement from reality could reach new heights, and that concepts such as civility, moderation and channeling anger in any way that doesn't involve ranting like a child throwing a tantrum are by now completely alien concepts to Chris, or at least go out the window whenever he's annoyed. Chris was so passionate about this supposed defamation of his favorite video game character that he went so far as to write incoherent, rambling letters to Sega, throw tantrums about it on Facebook, threaten the lives of Sega employees, glitterbomb Sega's American HQ, and even physically assault retail staff. Towards late 2014, while everyone else was posting on Facebook about less important political concerns, Chris decided that the most important cause of the time was protesting Sega's decision to make Sonic's arms blue (as opposed to the usual tan color) in Sonic Boom, their latest non-canon game in the series.
