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 mean the former got banned for stating the latter, no?

    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.
