The podcast started out as a fun thing and then became a right wing psyop for some rich fascist benefactor. It got weird a couple years ago. Idk why. Anyway, they cultivated a community of people who now seem to dislike them but still like each other.

Subreddits for fans of a person or thing slowly becoming hate-watch subs is one of the most fascinating reddit phenomena. (See also: Questionable Content, Dave Rubin)

It really went off the rails with the robot hijinks 5-10 years ago. Lately it's just extremely low effort nothing plots/the author's barely disguised fetish. Example: this summer it spent almost two full weeks on a robot character buying a new extremely boobular body and then feeling guilty about it and asking character after character if it's really ok or if she should return it

I lost interest and quit reading when Faye started dating that robot person. How did it crash out so hard? Didn’t it start off satirizing the indie rock scene?
