Chris Chan, a transgender cartoonist famous for creating the comic series Sonicu (a blend of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu), has made a shocking pregnancy announcement during a live-streaming event. The news quickly went viral after a viewer asked, “When will you announce the child you're having?”

Chan responded by saying, "When the child, when the child is actually coming into play for summer/ somewhere around that point, or I just might keep y'all in the dark and let y'all know until after the child is born."

The clip of his announcement was shared widely on the streaming platform Kiwi Farms.

Chris Chan, who has had a controversial past, was arrested in 2021 for inappropriate behavior with his elderly mother, who was suffering from dementia. Following his arrest, his attorney mentioned that Chan was dealing with mental health issues, which contributed to his actions. Chan spent two years in prison before being released in March of the previous year.

After the announcement, some fans speculated that Chan might be expecting the child with his Finnish friend, Flutter. The two became friends during Chan’s time in jail from 2021 to 2023. This rumor gained traction when reports claimed that the two were close, sparking further curiosity online.

While many fans congratulated Chan on the announcement, others expressed concern about his ability to care for a child. Some doubted the truth of the pregnancy, while others questioned the situation, sharing their worries about the potential for a chaotic upbringing.

"If true, this would confirm that Flutter is likely under 30," one user wrote, speculating about the age of the alleged mother. "If Flutter's belly starts growing in her next appearances, we'll know for sure."

Another user commented, "Chris can barely take care of himself. If this is real, that poor kid will have a sociopathic mother and a father who thinks he's Jesus."

The news has led to mixed reactions, with some even suggesting that this situation could be the "first sign of the apocalypse."

Despite the uncertainty and skepticism surrounding the announcement, Chan's statement has sparked widespread attention and debate across the internet.
