    Creator Backlash: The boys absolutely loathe their Reddit fandom, as the /r/ChapoTrapHouse was slowly taken over by angry pro-PRC/ Russian tankies with a virulent hatred for anarchists, and even tried to get it banned. Sure enough, the sub and its "tankie" spinoffs were banned.

    Where is this pro-Russia shit coming from, did any of these people ever even visit the sub

    Under YMMV broken base

    Among its far-left fanbase, you've got anarchists (who tend to loathe authoritarian governments) and "tankies" (supporters of Stalin, Mao, modern-day Venezuela/China/Russia, etc) who virulently hate each other just as much as they love the boys' takedowns of the mainstream left, often duking it out over whether or not the group supports authoritarian leftist regimes. Chapo themselves really dislike the latter.

    Reminded tvtropes is a wiki and wiki still very right leaning.

        Pretty sure every inside joke for the pod is on there, lol. Of course you get something like this in the intersection of people who update tvtropes and people who listen to political podcasts.

      It's Pronounced "Tro-PAY": Felix has been known to pronounce caveat as "kuh-VEET" instead of "KA-vee-aht", and Amber has ribbed him about it on at least one occasion. Will has also been chastised for having pronounced zine note as "zyne" (rhyming with "mine") instead of "zeen". Amber owns Felix again in Episode 114 for pronouncing Geocities as "jee-YAW-suh-teez" instead of "JEE-o-sit-eez". In episode 119, Will pronounces armistice as "ar-MISS-tiss" instead of "ARM-iss-tiss" and is instantly reprimanded.

      I'm in love with whoever researched and wrote this.
