boring as fuck jokes, liberal cringe opinions, 9 bad takes out of 10, and more galore. Should hexbear really keep associating itself with Chapo, it really seems that hexbear has outgrown it in general.

edit: by associating i mean using things like chapotraphouse com or askchapo or chapochat. maybe we've grown beyond it, maybe its a neat part of site culture and a nod to its roots while not connected to the cringe stuff.

    afaik main isn't called that because people actually like chapotraphouse, it's an extended bit because the chapos hated r/chapotraphouse so we kept the name out of mutual disrespect

    that being said i wouldn't have any problem fully converting over to c/main or a different/funny comm name, it's site culture but it wouldn't be a loss if it was dropped

      I don't even think they hated us. What i remember is that they mentioned the sub in some negative joking way in like 2018 and we just kind of ran with it. I kinda doubt they even know we exist

        They actually mentioned the banning of the sub briefly in a very recent episode, the one before the latest l think, but that's the first time in years iirc but I haven't listened to every episode so could be wrong there

          Yeah I think I caught that, too. I almost care enough to go re listen to it. But I don't actually care enough.

          I recall recently I think amber mentioned people being upset by pig poop balls and I don't know if there is any other context where that exists.

        I remembered they celebrated that the sub got banned on the podcast. I don't think they thought about r/cth all that much, but they seemed really happy to hear it got banned.

            Nah, they definitely didn't like the sub and have stated as much multiple times. I have no idea what episode it was on - might have even been a cushvlog - but they thought it was cringe that people were discussing mental health issues, neurodivergence etc. and didn't want to be associated with it.
