I’m sure I can find the answers to these questions in google individually, but other people in the fediverse might benefit from having these questions answered as well.

Why is Trump a “Wet Boy”?

Why is a defecating pig a “PBB”?

Why do you, a chapotraphouse discussion forum, only discuss something called “citations needed” instead of the chapo podcast?

How is El Chapo’s trap house in any way related to leftism?

Why are your emojis so big?

What’s the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?

To widen the topic of the post, feel free to post any other questions regarding Hexbear as well.

    Why is Trump a “Wet Boy”?

    IDK, probably a CTH reference.

    Why is a defecating pig a “PBB”?

    PPB stands for pig poop balls.

    Why do you, a chapotraphouse discussion forum, only discuss something called “citations needed” instead of the chapo podcast?

    The community over time has gotten less interested in CTH and quite unrelated to it. Citations Needed is popular, and it’s funny to say chapotraphouse is the discussion forum of an unrelated podcast

    How is El Chapo’s trap house in any way related to leftism?

    IDK, probably deep CTH podcast lore.

    Why are your emojis so big?

    IDK either, but I heard it’ll hopefully get fixed. They are smaller on our end.

    What’s the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?

    I don’t think we have any outspoken Maoists so I can’t say. In the past, I think Trotskyists have been defended by the moderators from being dunked on too hard. Demsocs are welcome but I recall a well-known demsoc user getting banned however I cannot remember the reason so someone else please chime in. Socdems regularly get ridiculed, but there’s a lot of sympathy for Latin American socdems. TERFs get banned ASAP. Progressive democrats are also ridiculed. The website is too small to attract one of the handful of earnest monarcho-socialists so IDK.
