Can’t believe it’s been a decade since Citations Needed started, yall probably feel old but I was too busy playing club penguin and super mario 3d world at the time to know what a politics or podcast was. I wish none of us had to learn what a podcast was but god doesn’t give with two hands
Good for them! I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t been spending an unhealthy amount of time lurking on r/politics circa 2017 and hearing people talk about Chapo Trap House in the comments occasionally. Sometimes a lib accusing a poster of coming from there, more often a CTH poster finding someone in the comments and telling them they’d find a like minded community.
Same. /r/CTH getting x-posted into my feed is what exposed me to the concept of socialism and communism. I was a Bernie-style lib up until the second half of 2019 when I realized you could go further left, and that communism wasn’t evil.

Good for them. Whenever anyone gripes about them, Hasan or any other left-wing media figures making a lot of money, all I can think is “it’s cool that anyone is doing well, I would like to see more of us across all industries prosper.”
I have never watched a chapotraphouse episode nerds
What the fuck is a chapotraphouse?
Chapo Trap House is a podcast on the media, power, PR and the history of bullshit. It is hosted by Nima Shirazi and Adam Johnson
Podcast? What do you mean podcast?

I don’t know! I never played it, I played Habbo Hotel once when I was a kid though so I just assume it was like that? I was more a Neopets kid.
Maybe it was popular for longer than you thought, idk lol.
It lasted from 2005-2017, I got into it as a 5yo in 2011 (it was the first time I ever actively used a computer) and up thru 2016 I used the living room laptop pretty much almost exclusively for that (and for toontown until it got shut down), I even had all the DS games to boot
The day we all became dry
Huh, weird that they’re claiming it’s been 10 years, I could have sworn the first episode was Jul 12, 2017.
What does this have to do with Citations Needed?
A very long running bit from the old CTH subreddit. The fanbase grew more developed in theory and in some cases practice (Matt is still the GOAT) and it became a running gag to refer to the sub as the official Citations Needed subreddit and pretending not to know anything about the podcast and it carried over to here.
Yeah lol I was doing the bit
Edit: I just noticed the post description did it too lol
lmao of course.
You folks are weird
oh shit they made a hexbear podcast !
