Controversial influencer and webcomic creator Chris Chan drops big news in a livestream

Christine Weston Chandler, widely known as Chris Chan, a prominent yet controversial YouTuber and creator of the Sonichu webcomic series, has sparked fresh speculation among followers. In a recent livestream, she hinted at the possibility of expecting a child but shared few specifics, leaving the internet abuzz with theories. Chan, a trans woman, has not confirmed the identity of the other parent, though many believe it could be “Flutter,” a Finnish woman rumored to be her romantic partner since her release from jail in 2023.

During the livestream, shared by Kiwi Farms, Chan was asked when she would announce the birth of her child. Her cryptic response, “When the child is actually coming into play for summer… or I just might keep y’all in the dark and… wait till after the child is born,” fueled speculation but provided little clarity. While she didn’t mention Flutter by name, many followers jumped to the conclusion that Flutter, a long-suspected girlfriend, could be involved. Flutter’s legal name remains unknown, though she is reportedly 30 years old. Chan, however, has denied being romantically involved with her, claiming they are just friends despite public appearances suggesting otherwise.

Chris Chan, 42, is no stranger to public scrutiny. Known for her Sonichu series, which blends elements of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu, she has also been embroiled in legal troubles. In 2021, she was arrested on incest charges after admitting to having a sexual relationship with her then 79-year-old mother, who was suffering from dementia. Although Chan faced significant backlash and legal proceedings, the charges were later dropped under Virginia law, which allows alternative resolutions for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

This wasn’t her first brush with the law. In 2014, Chan was arrested for spraying mace at a GameStop employee who asked her to leave the store. She received a 180-day suspended sentence and was permanently banned from all GameStop locations.

The potential pregnancy has ignited mixed reactions online, ranging from concern to disbelief. Some commenters questioned whether Chan, given her troubled history, should be allowed to become a parent. One commenter said, “The man famous for raping his 80-year-old mother is going to have a child of his own. Is no one else worried?” Others echoed similar sentiments, with some questioning why Chan isn’t still in prison.

For now, there’s no definitive answer about whether Chris Chan is truly expecting a child or who the other parent might be. The situation remains shrouded in uncertainty, and reactions continue to pour in across social media. One user aptly summarized the general sentiment: “Oh boy… gonna have to wait and see what happens.”
