    This is horrible, but I do wonder what legal precedent this case will cause, as this is probably the worst case of online harassment in history. I do believe she never would’ve molested her mother if there wasn’t this multi-decade harassment campaign. I don’t think she’d have a great life, but it wouldn’t be the shitshow it is now.

    Seems like she’s going to trial for supposedly molesting her mother who suffers from dementia a year or two back. I heard that it may have just been one of her trolls who convinced her that her imaginary characters are real and that they would destroy the Sonichu universe if she didn’t say she had molested her mother over the phone. Like some of these people are literal stalkers and think it’s the height of comedy to harass someone with a myriad of untreated mental illnesses. It’s all very muddied as CWC is a prolific liar but I wouldn’t trust the U.S. justice system to give an individual like her a fair shake or the help that she needs.

        CWC was at one point a normal enough person who ‘really’ liked the Sonic games and began writing fanfic comics 20+ years ago that was found by some early 2000’s edgelords who started spreading her material around to laugh at. Between these people and those that were genuinely amused by them CWC’s ego was fed as she was given money to continue doing them and essentially ended up in an internet irony bear trap. It’s seemingly impossible for her to realize that feeding the trolls a consistent stream of material for them to mock has only made them want more, as she’s very easy to upset and extremely suggestible, along with originally having a major case of homophobia, people rationalized it was fine to make her life miserable.

        Some of these people have been fucking with her for decades at this point and began convincing her that all of her imaginary characters from her Sonic comics actually existed in an alternate reality, and that they had the ability to effect that reality. These characters are her fucking world, she’s famous for wearing a medallion around her neck she made as a teenager of her first character, Sonichu.

      Yeah, harassment culture is so pervasive that people found nothing wrong with the extreme level of obsession people displays over her. These people do shit like produce and watch 60+ part youtube videos that are an hour each and still came out with the conclusion that they’re sane?
