      Ironically, Brace has gone on her YT channel before to talk about Elon and Trump, and they seemed to be cool with each other.

      Subreddit plus Maoiste que le Brace

        It’s so funny how sometimes, a subreddit (or any fan forum in general) can have wildly different beliefs than the OG creators, like, just take Hexbear for example.

        cth-logo: Uh, Bernies cool, I guess.

        hexbear-logo: KILL ALL SLAVE OWNERS.

            I meant more the beliefs of the fan forum (hexbear) vs. the beliefs of the original Chapos. Tbf, I don’t know a whole lot about the original Chapo hosts, but just from lurking, I could glean that most people here thought of them as liberal-ish, but feel free to correct me.

              the original Chapo hosts

              They’re definitely less radical than the average here, but they’ve also definitely gone on a similar arc of radicalization as we have, considering some of their comments in recentish episodes about having regrets about their support for Bernie/AOC and others who have had bad responses to the ongoing Palestinian genocide. I just wouldn’t expect capybara-fancy to come out with a pro-Stalin take any time soon.

              They’re e-famous for the same reason every other e-famous person is. They were in the right place at the right time with the right show for the algorithm.
