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 probably listen more frequently than most, and I can't say I've noticed any racist jokes, Can you think of a specific one?

The opinions haven't changed much still mostly ok with smattering of bad takes but nothing outrageous that I haven't seen expressed here, maybe more lowbrow since maths absence

Bit they still get decent guests, and for someone outside the US I appreciate the perspective on internal politics that isn't too lib, although you can get all that elsewhere

My opinion on the matter is it does really matter anymore, but if it ain't broke don't fix it, like what is there really beyond associations other than this sub name and older users like myself who may still use the chapo.chat domain

Can't prove it but I think it's probably a driver of new users since I see here mentioned on places like the blackwolffeed reddit

self crit it was pointed out that i kinda mixed up cumtown and chapo so my annoyance with chapo deflated and my point about the racism stuff was wrong. Sorry.

i can see your side, especially since it is a reference to its roots, and its already here so why change it.

conversely, maybe in order to improve the site, and get rid of the reddit-ness that is so often causing issues, its necessary to move the site culture away from those things. Probably overboard though.
