The goal of the name change is that people who come here won't take the podcast as seriously ("oh this is just that podcast nobody likes. They even changed the name of the site, see?"). It'll also be harder to find this site if "chapo" is not in the name.

You can already see the campaign to discredit the podcast on its way. They go for easy targets like the less serious episodes or anything with Amber, which preys on your internalised misogyny.

People making this post into a copypasta are also CIA btw.

    Changing this site's name to Hexbear is a bad idea especially after your founder is accused of pedophilia, hopefully for obvious reasons.

    Chapo is the name this site is founded on and how new users find it, it's what sets this apart from some Mastodon site or any random forum set up that claims to be the new home for whatever Communist Online Utopia. We're here from chapo, this is a replacement for that, just please let it be that.

            But hexbear was one of the only ideas that was simultaneously meaningless and unfunny

                FWIW, a fork doesn't need interesting branding like a public website that seeks growth does.

              Bear = "don't poke the bear" = strong and fearsome, evokes Russia, which as every bona fide liberal knows, means communism

              Hex = associated with witches, also is the polygon that makes the most robust tesselation, and 6 is a perfect number

              Hexbear is our totem.

                peepee = "don't piss us off" = warm and wet, evokes tropical weather, which as every bona fide liberal knows, means the global south

                poopoo = associated with the top deck of a pirate ship, also is the sound of dismissal, as we throw off the chains of neoliberal thought

                peepeepoopoo is our totem
