boring as fuck jokes, liberal cringe opinions, 9 bad takes out of 10, and more galore. Should hexbear really keep associating itself with Chapo, it really seems that hexbear has outgrown it in general.

edit: by associating i mean using things like chapotraphouse com or askchapo or chapochat. maybe we've grown beyond it, maybe its a neat part of site culture and a nod to its roots while not connected to the cringe stuff.

I don't even think they hated us. What i remember is that they mentioned the sub in some negative joking way in like 2018 and we just kind of ran with it. I kinda doubt they even know we exist

They actually mentioned the banning of the sub briefly in a very recent episode, the one before the latest l think, but that's the first time in years iirc but I haven't listened to every episode so could be wrong there

Yeah I think I caught that, too. I almost care enough to go re listen to it. But I don't actually care enough.

Same I can't remember how it cane up tbh may have been a tangent of that wow streamer who got banned

I recall recently I think amber mentioned people being upset by pig poop balls and I don't know if there is any other context where that exists.

I changed my mind, we should cut all ties

I remembered they celebrated that the sub got banned on the podcast. I don't think they thought about r/cth all that much, but they seemed really happy to hear it got banned.

they mostly just thought it was funny, and tbf so did we

Nah, they definitely didn't like the sub and have stated as much multiple times. I have no idea what episode it was on - might have even been a cushvlog - but they thought it was cringe that people were discussing mental health issues, neurodivergence etc. and didn't want to be associated with it.
