I’m sure I can find the answers to these questions in google individually, but other people in the fediverse might benefit from having these questions answered as well.
Why is Trump a “Wet Boy”?
Why is a defecating pig a “PBB”?
Why do you, a chapotraphouse discussion forum, only discuss something called “citations needed” instead of the chapo podcast?
How is El Chapo’s trap house in any way related to leftism?
Why are your emojis so big?
What’s the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?
To widen the topic of the post, feel free to post any other questions regarding Hexbear as well.
IDK, probably a CTH reference.
PPB stands for pig poop balls.
The community over time has gotten less interested in CTH and quite unrelated to it. Citations Needed is popular, and it’s funny to say chapotraphouse is the discussion forum of an unrelated podcast
IDK, probably deep CTH podcast lore.
IDK either, but I heard it’ll hopefully get fixed. They are smaller on our end.
I don’t think we have any outspoken Maoists so I can’t say. In the past, I think Trotskyists have been defended by the moderators from being dunked on too hard. Demsocs are welcome but I recall a well-known demsoc user getting banned however I cannot remember the reason so someone else please chime in. Socdems regularly get ridiculed, but there’s a lot of sympathy for Latin American socdems. TERFs get banned ASAP. Progressive democrats are also ridiculed. The website is too small to attract one of the handful of earnest monarcho-socialists so IDK.

the ‘left’ wing is literally, explicitly people who wanted to oppose the king! it’s the barest, most fundamental left wing thing
Yeah, I heard that you guys had a big TERF purge a while ago. Them and monarcho-socialists were there more as a gauge of how far does left go since it’s defined differently for each group. Well, since a lot of hexbearers have anime PFPs, some of you guys could be part of the latter group since the Japanese Communist Party tolerates the emperor currently.

Yes.
Good bit
hard to purge something that was always banned
there was a period where soft transphobia was tolerated. the hard stance followed many struggle sessions. cf the great pronoun wars.
Unequivocally the best thing the site ever did.
I believe the podcast was called that just because they didn’t have a name and Will and Felix “wanted it to sound like a mixtape”.
