Ok but what is Amber's deal? I've been following lots of people around the chapoverse and she's by far the most enigmatic, incendiary and incisive.

It's not that complex, she has good politics most of the time but her hatred of white "lean in" feminism occasionally leads her to some not great contrarian takes

gh0stpinballa posted:i remember reading some long twitter thread about how virgil and felix were hired by some tech billionaire to write for a site like cracked? the thread connected the billionaire to like the CIA and all that. iirc red kahina and that lot were quite keen on the idea when chapo first came out. and now the way they seem to have banned matt from talking about the epstein scandal has stirred it all up again lol Cafe Dot Com, as part of the Digger thing, yes. But I wouldn't say it's intelligence connected. Cracked however? For years they used to host articles defending stuff like the Mujanhadeen aid , the fake Polio Immunization campaign and Reagan letting the AIDS crisis explode. The biggest boon former writers had from Cracked dying was the new investors deleting from the archives nearly every weird article like that so no one can bring that up during one of their threads or something on twitter. I wouldn't be surprised if part of why John Cheese's position was kept for that long was due to some spook keeping tabs on the site for "Hello, here's 5 things as a totally liberal waifish hipstery gal from Eastern Europe wants to tell you about why Azov Battalion is actually woke" pieces to keep rolling.

There was a good reason why let's say, Splinter and Gawker and Deadspin were mourned while Cracked just faded away, currently on a Escapist-style husk being entirely held by Seanbaby's occasional piece there. IT was a different time what with people centering way, way more on a lady's occasional writing on feminism than let's say, the piece where they taunted the Australian Government for not murdering every Sentilense or the John Cheese bit where he devotes part of a "Here's how to spot Fake News" article to poo poo on people worried about destroyed and covered up rape kits to go on how that's not a concern of the working class.

The latest Blocked Party bonus episode is the first one I am not enjoying. They're talking about Kobe Bryant, and a lot of it feels like "you shouldn't talk about famous people unless you're famous, shut up you commoner".

time to flip the script for a second and posit that Amber is, in fact, the most woke out of all of the podcast crew

Everybody piles on to Amber for supposedly being unwoke instead of the real scandal, her views on actually existing socialism.

I predict that by 2023 the 2-3 seconds of lag on a twitch live stream will make every word seem hopelessly dated by the time it reaches the audience, spelling the ultimate end to podcasting.

Sometimes even a week!

Oh no I forgot I posted in here and started more Amber discussion, I can only apologise. One of the weirdest takes I've heard about Chapo is accusing them of being "South Park for the left" and thinking that nothing matters, "caring is uncool" ect. The only one of them you could make that accusation towards is Felix and even he gets the fire sometimes.
