while obviously the disproportionate attention given to ch*po in some corners is unhelpful, i do find it weird to see some leftists defending chapo like their folks don't do shit like...

and don't forget them regularly guesting nick mullen, who brought you gems like...

because unrepentant misogyny and ableism are really something we want to voice are welcome on the left

not to mention: having a principled stance on reproductive justice is just too far for will

oh i left out this bit from red scare, where a chapo host regularly appears. sure, totally not reactionary.

had to re-order thread because i mixed up screenshots, but here's another from a red sc*re host , where ch*po host amber a'l*e fr*st appears semi-regularly

anyway you can criticize a weird disproportionate attention to them without claiming that they're not shitty people who refuse to apologize or be held accountable for their bigotry and harm, which they absolutely are, and i'm ashamed to see people i usually respect act otherwise

i just dont think you can call yourself a feminist or antiracist and defend these folks
