Brace only stopped saying the r word because he thinks it's cringe because the right likes it too much now.
Like, explicitly he said this a few times.
On a chapo call in episode one of the calls was about how they keep having to defend chapo to their friends who say they use the r word. One of the chapos said "if we're still gonna get flak for this why did we even stop saying it?" To which brace replied "i never stopped saying it!"
I love the show but they've been problematic the whole time
