like the thing is matt is probably the most compassionate member of the podcast so this is really just someone having an argument with an imaginary enemy

It's Anna and Dasha from the redscare pod who gave alienated white dudes the N-word pass. Twitter users should hate Matt Christman because he has revealed that twitter isn't real while ruining steaks in his backyard.
If we could turn her to our side she could be a shitposting juggernaut
Part of me admires her for tirelessly constructing straw men to attack.
Not since Don Quixote have I seen someone attack imaginary enemies like this.
Twitter and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
In he beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
who tf is this person, like should we know? i don't do twitter because it just seems like tumblr discourse 5 years ago but without the joy of occasionally seeing kinnies and foot fetishists bullying each other over nothing. is she like just a twitter person or an irl thing too?
also, its pretty wild to imply that chapo types like reddit lol
Not a real person, don't worry. She got a bunch of attention trying to sell the idea of a "Chapo-to-fash" pipeline on Twitter.
What's a kinnie? I'm a foot fetish guy so I need to know who this enemy I just found out about is.
i don't know if they're really around anymore, so you might not have to worry, but they were great. A kinnie was someone who had a 'kin'. A person's kin or kin-type was a human person that they felt embodied them or that they 'were', kind of like a fursona, except with less cool art and more roleplay (except you couldn't call it roleplaying, because that would imply they weren't actually their kin). It was kind of like they were trying to go for spirit animals combined with past-lives. Some people just kind of identified with their kin, for some people it was like fucking spiritual, and for some of them it was REAL (the justification of kins having been reincarnations was fairly widely accepted, and/or that they were a genuine/healthy way to cope with mental illness.)
this person's human-sona could be a character or a real historical (or sometimes living) person, and there was an apparantly important distinction between these 'fictkins' and 'factkins'. These faction alliances were VITAL to kinnies - there was incredible drama over all this, friendships were made and ended over them . It was completely nonsensical to anyone else, but rivitting to watch. It wasn't uncommon to see callout posts where someone was slammed for like transphobia, but also being friends with someone who kins a pokemon character which is 100% cultural appropriation or w/e.
There were wars over "doubles" and "kinstealing" , ie when someone else claims that they're actually griffin mcelroy, which is problematique because they must know that you're the real griffen mcelroy and how dare they.
This post is always the one that sticks out in my mind . There's no better platform than tumblr to watch genuinely deranged bullshit go down.
(thanks for letting me finally use the deep well of completely useless knowledge i have from spending far too long on that site.)
Where do people like her come from? Is she being paid by somebody else to try and seed discord or impact the credibility of popular left-leaning podcasts? Is she jealous that somebody else is more successful speaking on leftist ideas? Is she really just terminally online and her brain has been melted down into soup?
That's where I'm leaning but only slightly more than terminally online/mentally ill.
The chapo boys are problematic you pasty-ass WHITE CRACKER that'll be 10 dollars on patreon please
So as someone who once got harassed by the CTH crew before I even knew who the fuck they were, they have a contingent of Weird Twitter that seems to suckle pretty hard at the r/stupidpol teat. In particular, I had a Southern Catholic lesbian hound me, who I later found to be insanely transphobic. She was apparently close to Felix. They used the n-word openly, and said some weird and nasty things. There's a small group that are absolutely horrid little shits, and the hosts are aware of them but pretend like they don't exist. And as I saw with my harasser and Felix, they're even friendly to each other.
But Gwen's still a goddamn idiot.
Yeah, I'm sure there's plenty of legit criticism you could levy at the Chapo hosts and the broader fanbase, but "racist and misogynist" isn't how I'd characterise either.
They definitely provide cover for some of their friends who are either racist and misogynist or who are ironically racist and misogynist (which is the same fucking thing) but I wouldn’t use that to describe the hosts or the majority of their fans anyway.
I've listened to most episodes and I can't think of a time where Matt even mentions race or gender, let alone in a bad light.
