The goal of the name change is that people who come here won’t take the podcast as seriously (“oh this is just that podcast nobody likes. They even changed the name of the site, see?”). It’ll also be harder to find this site if “chapo” is not in the name.
You can already see the campaign to discredit the podcast on its way. They go for easy targets like the less serious episodes or anything with Amber, which preys on your internalised misogyny.
People making this post into a copypasta are also CIA btw.
But hexbear was one of the only ideas that was simultaneously meaningless and unfunny
Bear = “don’t poke the bear” = strong and fearsome, evokes Russia, which as every bona fide liberal knows, means communism
Hex = associated with witches, also is the polygon that makes the most robust tesselation, and 6 is a perfect number
Hexbear is our totem.
peepee = “don’t piss us off” = warm and wet, evokes tropical weather, which as every bona fide liberal knows, means the global south
poopoo = associated with the top deck of a pirate ship, also is the sound of dismissal, as we throw off the chains of neoliberal thought
peepeepoopoo is our totem
