Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

I like him better since he expanded his repertoire from three jokes to about five

he's got two more ready but will only deploy them one per year

the latest CumTown was fucking hilarious tbqh

at least that's what I heard from my friend, who is very problematic

Nagl is bad tho

nagl is nagl

It would be hilarious if Matt’s Hellworld hypothesis was proved by Chapo becoming the new Vice with Amber as Gavin McInnes.

Chapo has too many self-defeating dork tendencies for that danger to be probable, tho

maybe said here before but chapo sometimes sounds like what political ilx would sound like as a podcast if it just wanted to do it and be legends man

It actually reminds me a lot of hanging out in the office of my college weekly when I was a freshman and older "cool" dorks were running it, late-night pizza-fueled frustrated howling at idiocy etc.

chapo has the feel of when I went to a comic book shop around 11pm with a group of friends and there was a table of guys role playing in full loud dork mode, and when they saw that a woman had entered the shop they tried to act cool for a few minutes but soon the effort collapsed

as a Torontonian, this J0rd@n Peters0n segment is giving me life

A campus group at Portland State is bringing the Damore fuckhead to town next month.

Update Jan. 9, 3:02 p.m.: PSU spokesman Christopher Broderick said in a statement the event was organized by a student group, Freethinkers of PSU. He added that the university does not endorse the views of speakers invited to campus, though it encourages free speech.

Good ep on ”Trumpwashing” from the Citations Needed podcast

citations needed is really great

yes it is v good

citations needed really impresses me with how often i'll go into an episode with the attitude of "oh, i already know about THAT" and come out with an angle i totally hadn't considered.

Oh yeah, and distilling down a lot of things I wish I could say in a better manner.

I finally listened to a Cum Town clip on YouTube and they were using the "r word" talking about a mentally handicapped kid getting molested it was disgusting, what is wrong w them?

oh see they're engaged in the bigger struggle & also are popular + probably rich, so they can just be human garbage and not have to worry about it

I don't think the "bigger struggle" thing is even true unless you count amber

but also I feel the need to reiterate for the benefit of people who swing by and don't actually listen to any of this shit that almost no one who matters seriously advocates for the virtue of cum town

except the actual hosts and creators of Chapo Traphouse who I guess I'm assuming kinda "matter" in terms of their own show and all

I earnestly don't understand what you want the CTH people to do here. they're different podcasts with different aims and some (but hardly total) audience overlap

and again (as a non CT Listener) I think there's a difference between saying "here's a thing that is defensible on grounds of being a Social Good" vs "here's a thing I divert myself with"

but I'm sure all the bands everyone in this thread listens to are morally unimpeachable

but Amber is on the show often right?

they talk about CT on CTH I've heard it

I'm earnestly blown away that you don't see the difference between their relationship to CT and someone listening to a "problematic" band

like it's bizarre to me your inability to accept any criticism of cth

Their relationship to CT is not as close as you think? Virgil and Matt seem to have nothing to do with CT, Felix and Amber are friends with them via roommate situations or something. I guess Will is now friends with some of them too.

CumTown is despicable from what I can tell but the most edgelord CTH gets is the "Free Jared Fogle" running joke (which is dumb and should be dropped).

lmao I've criticized CTH itt!

I just don't see why people who make one thing are responsible for another thing, esp when they have separate revenue streams xp

re the Fogle jokes, CTH has gradually she'd most of their edgelordest tendencies, save for Will's congressional ballgame jokes

I'm okay with those tbh but I've seriously considered getting a guillotine tattoo in the past.

I am also ok with those lol

I feel the need to mention there are multiple threads on the CTH subreddit about what a piece of shit Amber's been of late and they're all correct

that may be so but the cth subreddit remains one of the worst and most cursed places on the internet

lmao you must lead a blessed online life because as far as politically-oriented places on the internet it's remarkably mild/tame

i mean i'm obviously exaggerating but the narcissism of small differences and all that.

the idea of going on a reddit page to discuss twitter microcelebrity drama is so bleak.

not saying this thread isn't equally cursed lol.

online is cursed in general, thankfully lots of cool things are happening far away from it

that may be so but the cth subreddit remains one of the worst and most cursed places on the internet

is the objection to the fogle jokes that they somehow harm victims of sexual abuse? Because I kind of think that’s treating victims of sexual abuse like they are made out of tissue paper. It’s not like the jokes are at the expense of the victims. And tbh there is something very darkly funny and indicting is corporate capitalism about the whole subway jared phenomenon.

my objection is that once I've heard a joke 3 times it can go fuck off

but yeah I don't see why the Jared jokes are less offensive than the Cosby star photo, just that it's hard for audio to go viral

shut the fuck up, upper mississippi sh@kedown

"I listened to a shock-comedy podcast called Cum Town and was shocked to hear problematic things"

go eat some Cold Pockets

I see the sack of shit is leaking again

og less

hi whiney how are things?

i'm a little sleepy, having some coffee

fucking hell whiney

I hereby demand this be huggèd out forthwith

Cum town coffee mug I hope

you know i love you, ums
