boring as fuck jokes, liberal cringe opinions, 9 bad takes out of 10, and more galore. Should hexbear really keep associating itself with Chapo, it really seems that hexbear has outgrown it in general.
edit: by associating i mean using things like chapotraphouse com or askchapo or chapochat. maybe we’ve grown beyond it, maybe its a neat part of site culture and a nod to its roots while not connected to the cringe stuff.
You’re right. Though it was not my intention to pedestal the nuclear family or building one as an ultimate goal, I suppose I was measuring the milestones of life through the parallels of responsibility and personal growth, and used that observation about him to mean that he sees a future and existence for himself outside of the podcast. And that sort of seriousness and forecasting is a mark of adulthood and maturity, from my perspective.
Will’s alright; I guess I was trying to not singularly focus on Felix.
Felix to me is my personal bogeyman, that despite success and affluence, he is seemingly incapable of escaping his adolescence in both his manner of speech, presentation, habits, and career. A “positive” identity is what a person identifies themselves by what they are, Felix has helped me form a “negative” identity by telling myself what I should not be.
I dunno. I just knew people like that, blessed by success or fortune from birth, and saw them spend their lives in adolescence way into their late 30s.
I agree, Felix is existentially terrifying. I’m not as irked by his speech patterns as some people are, but the rest of it, from spending all his time on game slop, to his attitude toward sex (e.g. bragging about being able to get groupies who are much more attractive than him via the show), to spending however many thousands of dollars on a replica of a sword from Dark Souls, he’s like a rich version of what I’m personally terrified of ending up as, to the point that I earnestly would prefer being a corpse and being saved the trouble of looking back at my life and seeing that I really never did anything worthwhile. He’s only tolerable to me because usually he focuses on jokes and his knowledge about various internet figures and Israel.
