      It's pretty hard to remember details about a shitposting community from 3 years ago. But I suspect at that time that /r/CTH was far more problematic than chapo.chat is now.

          If you have this, don’t you dare keep it from us. That was gun struggle session time right? Also, sushi comped

        If I remember right, it also had comparable amounts of struggle sessions. But it also was able to grow much, much faster, so it's dynamics also changed very rapidly from those of a small community (as is ours right now) to a bigger one

      I came to cth around 5 or 6k. I didn’t find the sub to be transphobic at that time, but rather misogynistic. It’s tough to compare because a completely different time frame and dynamic. I think a pronoun struggle session would have been similarly bad.

      I’ll also add that while there were a good chunk of trans users, they weren’t as visible perhaps. Idk

      Was that after the cumtown and stupidpol people were pushed out? There was still quite a few prominent anti-idpol people on the sub when I joined in early 2017 but I also seem to remember it getting better pretty quickly. Of course there also wasn't a lot of the explicitly pro-trans stuff on the subreddit either. You and the rest of the mod team would have definitely faced a ton of backlash had you required pronoun flairs.

          Dang image flairs would be cool here too, but, like, additionally

          That timeline makes sense. I never followed the drama too closely but there was definitely a change in the culture of the sub around the end of 2017/beginning of 2018 that made it much less welcoming to the anti-idpol people, which I guess inspired stupidpol.
