I basically explained that one of the guys I work with is a Chud. Now he wants to call all the assholes he works with Chuds.

      I remember I was so confused with the folks on the subreddit talking about Chuds when I first started lurking in 2018. Took me a while to get some of the in jokes. I still don't know what moment birthed the Vocel Police or Amber.

        Yeah I thought at first that people were talking about cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers

        Wasn't that from the Chapo boys talking about the 3.5-hour Snyder Cut of the Justice League? Something about how a bunch of incels were worshipping fashy Superman who was not an incel, but a volcel?

        Amber

        My understanding on this one is that Amber's takes on the podcast have always been all over the place, and a lot of the old CTH fanbase are creepy misogynists who will not hesitate to come out of the woodwork to gripe about episodes in which she appears, while giving Will, Virgil, and Felix a free pass for their shitty or problematic takes. (Note: Matt is and always has been a perfect large adult son, and does not have bad takes.) The mods created a bot to fuck with them as a not-really-subtle way to tell people to quit being weird rather than have to call them out every other post.

      Basically like a white guy, between ages 20 to 45 who has reactionary/conservative views.

      I told him I described the guy I work with as a Chud. The guy's obsessed with true crime stories. I know we joke here in left wing circles about white guys who will break out the FBI crime statistics a few minutes into any conversation but, this guy plausibly could do that from what I've gathered from listening to him. It's like his hyperfixation is crime stories the same way mine is history. But besides that, from talking to him I gather he has a rather cynical, individualistic, and frankly immature view of humanity. The usual "muh human nature" stuff you get from conservatives.

    My friend went from calling people he didn’t like “chode“ to calling them “chud” because that was the new word he got from his social circles. It annoys me because he uses it for anyone
