Lmao
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
The sub has become folklore that anyone can say anything about and everyone that wasn't on it themselves will believe it
"I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy." — Chapo McTraphouse.
They probably mean pro-USSR since libs still basically see Russia as the USSR lol
the sub and its “tankie” spinoffs were banned.
Chapotraphouse3 was many things, but tankie is not one of them.
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.
imagine thinking the main divide in the base is between anarkiddies and tankies and not ironybros and carelords
Yeah for like trivia it's good but politics is what. I still sometime browse but only for fictional things or some speculation on nerd shit. I think we could change or add things but might be an uphill battle.
Lmao at this being described in the same cadence as the 4chan Warhammer tabletop wiki
Despite being a stupid 4chan wiki it's usually the only place which describes what is interesting and special about an rpg in a concise way. Either than than you'd end up reading a Wikipedia page that doesn't really tell you shit or novel-length rpg.net review.
And it also tells you the stupid shit that GW does in a concise way. I definitely prefer 1d4chan to any Warhammer wiki.
only thing worse than this would be a chapo sub reddit
Hey future you, high you is pretty cool, you should listen to him
Yeah I read theory:

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.
ive been reading this and fucking dying for 20 minutes. WHY IS IT SO LONG? WHO TOOK THE TIME TO DO THIS?
Peace ya'll found my community in the most blursed of crossovers.
Have never listened to the pod. I guess I'll use this to catch up.
I've been listening regularly since 2016 and I dont even recognize most of these. Who has this much time. Listen to the episode and move on
"Chris Wade (formerly Brendan James), serves as producer."
Wtf they're the same guy?!
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.
I usually don't give a shit but "geeAHcities" definitely punctured something in my brain
Well, this is definitely something I'm gonna end up reading in full because lockdown
