Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

This. the ironic misogyny and vibes you get from these places is grating if your not a cis male. and as much as I liked true anon brace’s ironic misogyny put me off so much I stopped watching for a while. Like duh women don’t wanna listen to that shit! it got old when right-wingers and centrists do it, it literally just puts off potential leftists with the way some figures on the left operate.
is an egregious example of this as always.
What I’m saying that leftist men need to read feminist theory and do some unpacking about trans/cis women. It’s the bare minimum in 2023
Brace said some weird shit about Elizabeth Warren that was super off putting and needlessly sexual. And she fucking sucks. But she sucks because of the shit she has done both in and out of politics not because she's a woman. I mean, he's a pretty funny dude but he was off the mark there.
which episode?
It was pretty early on in the show, I can't recall the exact episode, I'm sorry.
They just want manly hard-hat men LARPing as soviet factory guys. They don't want to deal with annoying issues that don't directly affect them in a way they can see.
I'll add "having the emotional intelligence to apply what you've learned" to that bare minimum. Still a pretty low bar!
Ok but, it is funny most of the time
Law of diminishing returns. It gets super old and disappointing when it’s from a fellow leftist.
I can only find it funny BECAUSE it's coming from a fellow leftist who I'm reasonably sure doesn't actually believe any of it.
Counterpoint, I don’t find it funny. I find it grating. It’s just subjective humor at the end of the day
It is, that's why hand-wringing about it as an example of patriarchy is so silly.
what about comedy makes it inherently above criticism? it may not be the head of the axe, but it's not nothing either.
I'm glad to see Brace's personal growth- he's mostly moved on from the r-word to instead using neurodivergent as a pejorative
With his edgy persona I don't see him ever doing some serious self-reflection and apologising tbh
