I love how hating amber or not is 100% predictive of if someone is like a casual left wing normalish person versus an extremely online psycho that, like, wants to guillotine 99% of the left for some weird marginal difference

Amber is definitely the Chapo most likely to some out with a genuinely lovely position to be fair. Like I would not be shocked at all if she came out as a TERF, given her predilection for saying 'the gays' over LGBT in any given circumstance and her friendships with several reactionary feminists like Nagle and the Red Scare girls.

Oh man, there are so many terrible things I would not be shocked to discover Amber believes. I will list them now, in order of how angry I would be if it was confirmed that Amber believes them

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

I'm a trans woman and I got uncomfortable listening to Red Scare because they sound surprisingly TERF-y. I generally like Amber on Chapo and I like that she's the most directly active of them.

In conclusion, death to all cisgender heterosexuals.

I think you're over-reacting a bit? I like all the Chapos, but as NB person Amber does set off my TERF radar just a little. I mean I hope she isn't and I still enjoy what she brings to the show, but yeah given her aversion to ever mentioning trans people and being pals with open social reactionaries like Nagle I don't think it's unreasonable to get a few weird vibes from her brand of feminism.

Amber has the most weird and heterodox takes of any of them and it's funny how this thread immediately jumps to her defense over everything. That said, we don't need to pay attention to the guy that only posts here to complain.

One of my favorite amber bits is her saying a take she knows is hot and felix of all people being the one to wince and she doubles down. It was something like "Chinas approach to the internet is good and should be emulated". Or something and when he winced she just said "You're just lucky I didn't say North Korea "


Like she admits she's the one with the insane hot takes but people itt just cant let it go when people say " oof that's a little dumb"

Amber's affectation of being a small town girl when she's from like indiannapolis or whatever is pretty funny and some of her takes are pretty bad or dumb but to take those mild quibbles and turn them into the hate some people have for her you'd have to be a terminally online psychopath

It is not healthy to live your life this way.

Also, I don't remember the name or if it was premium episode or not, but the episode where they do a reading series on the Pod Save America guys' book is my absolute favorite episode of all time. It's right up there with Cumtown's "Black Magic School Bus" and Hollywood Handbook's "The Masked Engineer" for GoaT status imo

Amber is the one with the most fully formed socialist ideology, or at the very least the one most willing to articulate it on the show. It is interesting that she gets so much hate. I guess it might come down to that her willingness to drop the irony/jokes/twitter-celeb bashing for a second and express her politics (bad takes, or whatever) invites argument. She's more "tanky" than the rest of them, so why should "tankies" have a bone to pick with her in particular? We can't hear any sort of leftist statement without putting it through a struggle-session purity contest? That sounds more like a right-wing smear than reality.

Maybe most of the audience lean more towards centrism or apoliticism than one would think and they would rather just have the jokes? I think the answer is most likely that misogynists are just being especially uncharitable towards any tepid Amber riff where as the boys are quickly forgiven. The haters probably all love Cumtown too.
