Maybe the solution is to stay off Twitter, but it's very disturbing to see the normalization of slurs happening in real time on there. White people saying the n-word with approval, the return of saying "gay" as a pejorative, lots of casual racism against Indian men, using the r-slur to describe something seen as stupid. I don't know whether this is a larger cultural lurch to the right, or whether it's mostly attributed to Musk's elimination of quality control and monitors on the platform.

On a Q&A Chapo did, someone asked what to say to their friend who says Chapo uses the r-slur. The response from Felix was essentially (paraphrasing) "if people still accuse us of that why did we even stop using it" and i have heard it twice total on the pod since theni believe said by guests but i can't recall. Strange times we live in

a person I talked to once said they couldn't listen to Chapo because of all the slurs and I can only believe people get it confused with cumtown

unless they're talking about slurs for italians

Cumtown has largely moved away from this type of humor since rebranding as TAFS as well. It’s not completely gone, but it’s not what it used to be.

I mean, did you hear the Matt Healy episode? And they only got in trouble for that one because Swifties heard about it. They were still definitely doing a lot of the same humor.

I said largely lol. That episode was released over a year ago and got taken down anyway.
