    The "gets smeared in the media" thing shouldn't matter. If this site were to get big enough, it would get smeared too.

      The hitpieces targetted at the podcasts smeared them partly by associating them with the subreddit. Guess what, to most media people and consumers being a little problematic is far more palpable than being a Maoist or supporting a violent overthrow of the status quo. It's just so funny to think that if the site got big it would have any positive media coverage.

          I think it will stay the same. This site was never going to grow, it's too easy to get banned. There is a very small range of acceptable discourse before a ban for reactionary thoughts comes out. No newbie is going to come in already having what this site considers acceptable views, and they won't conform to the sites culture, they will leave.

          I'm fine with it, peeps with niche views need their spaces. But those here who think they are part of some "lib to left pipeline" are fooling themselves. This website has never been that.

            Any kind of pipeline has to have some element that suckers you in. The gamer to nazi pipeline is just that. You're just an epic gamer that plays le funni games but also while genocide is real guys. Pipelines are inherently fronts.

            Consequently for this website to be any kind of lib to left pipeline, you would have to well, attract libs and suffer their dumb shit and slowly simmer them into getting that reform isn't gonna cut it. It means that by definition people don't just get dunked on for stepping outside the orthodoxy (unless they do so in huge strides). So no, this is not a pipeline. This is a sanatorium for terminally online people.

              so what im learning from this is that chapo chat hexbear needs to have some kind of dedicated lib radicalization zone

        Isn't changing the name capitulating already? Oh if only this site would give anyone a reason to smear it, that would at least be progress

            That's the point, like democrats, they compromise without even being prompted, and then they tried to blame it all on poor Gloria La Riva. Like what do they think it's so important happening on this website that the old name was just too problematic for? Rearranging deck chairs.
