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.

For that matter why is this place named "Hexbear"? I remember it was chapo.chat but I didn't join up during that time, later decided to try it only to find it's now Hexbear

It was because the mods at the time were mad that people only used c/main and had voted not to rename c/main to something other than c/main (I voted for c/slop) so then they stopped having elections about things like that. Next thing you know we change the name of the site to hexbears because some the then mods/admins thought the association with Chapo was bad and decided to name/brand the website after a stale, but wholesome meme (look at this dope-ass bear)

This was around the same time they were hosting Matt “abolishing police is bad” Taibbi and agreeing with him.

Sure, but that would require I listen to the podcast to know that

This site was initially chapo.chat but they decided to change the name (shortly after I joined, so I dont really know all the details) presumably because they wanted to distance themselves from chapo (see op). Why they chose the shortlived 'hexbear' meme for the name? I'm not sure.
