least bloodthirsty radlib
some interesting posts they've made:
"Would [writing] a torture scene be too gratuitous?"
"[My] main antagonist Samantha is Pure Evil. She is incredibly sadistic, and believes that she has a right to rule over humanity due to her being a demon. She has similar powers to Superman, with the addition of shapeshifting and a healing factor. What I am also trying to do is make her funny, like the Joker"
A facist [sic] state wouldn’t let you say that second thought
I hate this argument so much. Freedom to express dissent means jack shit when said dissent is small enough to be non-threatening. The US as it is now wouldn't let him say that if he was organizing a massive movement. He'd have the FBI on his ass. Literally they did it to MLK just for saying poor people maybe shouldn't be poor. They literally sent him blackmail telling him to kill himself. And when he didn't, they did it.
also the fbi literally did show up at JT's door and try to threaten him lol
Damn that goes hard.
They probably got away with it because the whole show is conspiracy theories and sci-fi. Most people watching probably thought it was just another insane conspiracy theory.
Dude I recently rewatched all 14 seasons and that show is way more based than I remember (granted I watched it as a kid but I was a pretty based kid)
That entire subreddit is like reading a guy who really, really wants to say a slur but can't, but tries to get close enough anyway
I find the whole concept of visiting a small, niche website to find things to be mad about really :jesse-wtf:
Like, at least we get mad about low-hanging fruit like :reddit-logo: or twitter liberals being dinguses, but at least when i visit the small, niche website i'm having a good time, i'm not purposefully looking for the niche chud websites to find stuff to get mad about. I'm surrounded by it anyways.
I like the few times chuds and libs have actually come here and made angry posts to own everybody, as though it isn't pitiful to be rage-posting at a tiny website with under 25k users.
Every time I see one of those i never take them seriously. Maybe it's just me assuming that everything is a bit as a first reflex.
Pretty sure in reality you can cut at least 2 digits off that that user count lol.
Reddit: "We hate the Chapos and we want them to leave forever. Ban them! Ban them! Ban them!!!"
Also Reddit: "Omg, look at the new Chapo site! Everybody come and look at it! We will repost all the of the comments. We will comment on the comments. We will repost comments about the comments on the reposts!"
They're like a pile of clingy exes over there.
They banned us at the same time as T_D and then got bewildered about the uptick in reactionary posting. Gee I wonder who trolled them so hard they had to cry on 4chan about it. My reddit username was a movie reference and I'd get into it with those shitheads and they'd try to say shit at the end like "well we disagree but hey that's a great movie" and my response was always "the username was bait, fuck off and fuck you for trying"
They will never get it. I don't 'agree to disagree' you motherfucker. I just disagree.
These people are nothing without us. Literally nothing. Nobody. We make them just by existing, and they die if we stop indulging them.
They only exist to provide a loud, public-facing opposition to leftist thoughts that literally nobody else is currently reading or caring about. Seriously, consider that for a second.
Hyperfixating IT nerds who evolved a political gland barely 4 years ago exclusively upvote this shit and exclusively spread it. And like it or not, that's how your friends find out. If anyone you know has heard of Vaush and not watched him, that's probably why. He's another example of a content creator who casually picks at worthless political hangups and "just documents" minor concerns you might theoretically have, but long past their relevance so they'll never be resolved.
It's a subtle kind of propaganda, and you see it here too. Anytime a minor conflict - over philosophies, morals, tactics - is passed over but not resolved by a given group, they will make sure to bring it up, and since the concept of balancing priorities is still new to many online leftists, all it takes to reopen the wound is bringing up these Important Issues. Eventually they become important as the self-sustaining discourse gets in the way of other agreements.
If your first thought reading something is "Nobody I know is saying this," then let that be your reaction. Let that guide your next choices, instead of letting them lure you into "casually debating" new & avoidable fake Problems into existence, just so a new crop of people can decide they've "always had this one issue" with the Left.
These people can effectively speak new types of infighting into existence if they want to. And they do, everyday, more than any real, normal person even has energy for. Even if thats not the point of this post, we can easily avoid so much grief by pointing out the irrelevance and demeaning them for it.
Remember, don't ever fall for the "We need to have this conversation" trick. Make judgements based on what actually needs to be done, or spend equal time searching for answers.
Eventually they become important as the self-sustaining discourse gets in the way of other agreements.
like people arguing about sectarian infighting in the Spanish civil war. At a certain point you just have to move on
good rule of thumb:
if the lefty infight happened before you were born, taking a side and arguing with people about it is weird
if the lefty infight happened before you were born, taking a side and arguing with people about it is weird
That's why I only argue about online lefty personalities' infighting.
EXACTLY! Jesus Christ its hard to put into words how bafflingly easy it is to fix this: STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING THAT
a) MAKES YOU FEEL BAD
b) MAKES FUTURE LEFTISTS FEEL BAD
c) MAKES LIFE HARDER FOR EITHER
UNLESS THE CONTENT OF THE PROBLEM MATTERS AS OF RIGHT NOW!!! WHEN IT DOES, DO BRING IT UP AND DO ANYTHING YOU CAN TO FIX IT! DONT WAIT FOR THE "BEST ANSWER" JUST PICK THE ONE THAT FUCKING WORKS! WITH AS LITTLE ARGUING OR WHINY TONES AS POSSIBLE! AND YES IT DOES MATTER!
if everyone involved in an argument is dead that is the natural time to drop it. leftists are like the Corsican stereotypes where clans have 100 year old bloodfeuds about arguments over the ownership of a donkey
listen, buddy, that donkey ate figs like no other, most hilarious shit I ever saw
I don't know how this guy is so certain that the US will become a communist state, when the CPUSA has only 5,000 members
Peak capitalist realism here. "Your ideology will never happen because not enough people will :vote: for it."
i also wasn’t aware that CPUSA was the only socialist organization in the united states and all people who are socialists are apparently members of it
There was some I assume Vaushite who made several subs to document our epic brigades and communist leanings, but he got bored of it after a week and most of the people subbed to them are probably from here.

blackwolffeed and the matt christman vlog acidmarxism sub have opinions about hexbear too.
Imagine still being on reddit and getting snooty about our shit posting.
I don't think they care about the shitposting, but IDK last time I saw it come up they talked about some HB mod who apparently also modded some jailbait hentai subreddit or something? And also that we have a c/furry
Pretty sure this is just a game of telephone twisting the facts. There was someone who was a mod in the CTH Ark discord, who had made some sexual furry art depicting a couple of characters in chibi form observing a sex act, which was cast by the antagonists as a form of drawn CSAM (per discussions on this at the time, that's not how that works; I can't say I'm well-informed on the conventions of furry art styles so idk). This person was not a mod on the site because they stepped down due to the controversy, but they were not banned, so the antagonists threw a shit fit and starting posting about John Kerry (yes, that's where that came from).
the mod in question actually stepped down from the site because of ableism a good while after that incident
Yeah I remember, they didn't agree with the way a neurodivergent comrade was dealt with, as I recall.
Edit: For anyone wondering, this person was a valued member of the community and hence ended up becoming a mod in the neurodiverse comm later on.
pretty much yeah
also the response to their concerns in the modchat if i remember correctly
WHAT LMAO man i'm glad i was never on the discord. my soul is pure.
How'd you hear about the site so early on, then? I wouldn't have made it here without the discord (although I didn't really use it except to keep tabs on the site development).
someone linked it on mastodon. i don't remember who.
Yeah like I say I don't remember the details maybe they said exactly that. I didn't know the origin of Kerry-posting though that's interesting.
Didn’t this site and the ark discord have beef ? I seem to remember there being some hostility,
I think so, but that developed after the site launched; this issue cropped up right around the time of launch. Then the two communities (people who moved to the site, and people who decided they preferred the discord) diverged, until hostility ended up arising (not sure if that was the Kerryposters who instigated that or not, tbh).
Thanks for the history lesson, never knew the origin of the kerry posting.
And also that we have a c/furry
Not a furry but good, keeping furries around keeps losers away that try to launder their queerphobia through hating furries
I mean my understanding of furry stuff is it’s distinct from beastiality in that way, they’re mostly just anthropomorphized, sapient characters. it’s more highly specific anime-ish art than it is beastiality
All of those subs are just cults of personality. The best thing Hexbear did was amputate Chapo from it's branding.
Disagree, I think it was dumb af. The sub was way more notorious than some podcast that basically no one outside the left has even heard of. In the good old days I had libs in my real life talking about r/cth and how they read about how toxic it was in the New York Times etc.
Like the podcast was almost never talked about on r/cth, or basically no more than it is here.
There were megathreads for every new episode release and multiple threads that referenced topics that were covered on the pod.
Didn't that AMA happen almost half a year ago now? Quick-Draw McGraw.
A specter is haunting reddit - the specter of
/r/chapotraphousehexbearWhat I am also trying to do is make her funny, like the Joker
but the joker isn't funny the whole point is he makes jokes but they can't be funny because you can't laugh with a guy who you are afraid of
