    Serious question: what’s with the whole cumtown thing? I never got to peruse their sub before it was banned. Is it a bit? Are they left or right wing? I’ve heard people here call them racists but I also know the Chapo boys have had them on their show. What gives?

      Mix of stupidpol types, reactionaries and the terminally irony poisoned

      Edit: the hosts are just comedians who do ironic racist bits and whatnot who are left adjacent. Their fanbase is worse than they are. They are also IRL friends with the Chapo hosts

        I listened to a couple of episodes because people would always name drop it on the old sub. The hosts are pretty funny people and have good chemistry, but I ultimately just can't really get down with that ironic shitty humor

          The best way to experience Cumtown is listening to one of their bits that's been pulled off and uploaded to youtube. Small bite sized package, no need to sit through an hour of dumb shit to get there. Mostly the celebrity impressions.

          I can listen to episodes of Cumtown but I have to be doing something that is equally mindless. When I run out of fresh podcast episodes after 30+ hours of field work I'll throw on Cumtown just to stave off boredom. I really need to get a new mp3 player so I can go back to listening to albums but I lost it in the field and then ran it over with the tractor while mowing. RIP to that little guy.

        i think stav described his politics once as "dumb guy socialism" wherein the entire idea is that you dont need to read theory or give a shit about how anything works to agree that no one should have to die because they are poor.

      its a edgy comedy podcast forum on the racist engineering undergrad site, reddit.com. the politics of the pod itself hardly matter.

      When Adam was on an episode of Chapo he said something along the lines of

      r/chapotraphouse users thought they were as smart as the chapo hosts, and r/cumtown users thought they were as funny as the cumtown podcast

      I think that is pretty spot-on

      They're related to their pod the same way we're related to our pod. Which is to say, tangentially.

      Be glad. The sub was like the worst fucking people lol. Just incel cretins. And I say this as someone who has listened to the show and Chapo since the beginning
