First episode I listened to was a justification for Russian nazis and the second I listened to called childless people losers. I don't care to listen to any more of it. Is the name a joke or something? Why would you name your website after these losers? The people on /r/blackwolffeed are nothing but terfs and hate on identity politics and trans people. I don't feel like the brand of leftism chapo is selling is something I want to buy. It's like hey free healthcare but your not a woman and don't mention race exists. If mods are gonna ban me for hating on this podcast than do it, I don't want to be here if they support it. However if you fine people don't like the podcast, I ask you for your support to change the name, because I haven't found a raunchier trans space. I recommend John Waters Fun House, can this thread just be a struggle session of coming up with better names than one of a shitty reactionary podcast? Thank you.

    You're being sarcastic but that's a more effective and honest way of bridging ideological differences then anything else. A common target of ridicule builds a better community.

      JKRowlingFanClub.net it is. I'm sure that'll attract all the LGBT people.

      You can have a common point of ridicule without literally naming yourself after the thing you're ridiculing.

        That's a false equivalence and you know it. Chapo and Rowling are in no way comparable to each other. Keeping the name is also piggybacking of the pod's reach and success. Leaving out its ideology, we'll never get a profile in the NYT but the pod did and if someone searches for a a community around the pod we'll be the ones standing. There are material benefits to keeping the name. You know I was first like whatever but you example was not made in good faith and it's making me reconsider.

          You, at the beginning:

          No. We should stay Chapo exactly because the podcast hates it. The same reason why you use guillotine, bourgeoisie and proletariat. The language that drives fear into the heart of your enemy is the language you should employ.

          You, a few lines later:

          You know I was first like whatever but you example was not made in good faith and it’s making me reconsider.

          Which is it? "No. We should stay Chapo exactly because the podcast hates it." or "You know I was first like whatever but you example was not made in good faith and it’s making me reconsider." Don't make this about you being turned off to the idea as a result of my hyperbolic example when it was very clear you were disinterested in the idea from the start, lmfao.

          I'm sure the podcasters will be oh so annoyed by some random website using their name while they're raking in 100k a month in Patreon money. They don't care, lmfao.

            The first one was me exaggerating for comiedic effect. As one does on a meme website.
