Happy Binchtopia Wednesday to all who celebrate <3 The girlies go back into the depths of Reddit — extra deep this time — to hear some harrowing stories (testicles attached to a car battery, beloved stuffed animal made from decades-old human hair) and answer some tough questions (should my mother-in-law call my child "her" baby? should my parents be able to change the weird ass name they gave me against my will?), along with the usual laughing and loling.

Hello binchtopia. I have been a long lover of the podcast and echo many voices when I say how much it has enlightened me and made me more confident to use my intellectual capacity to speak up about issues of importance. That is exactly why I am sending this message. I generally never follow the popular critiques of celebrities for not speaking out about issues or with having different opinions than my own, but this is the first time I have felt strongly enough to send a message. I do not think every public figure has the responsibility to announce their opinions and educate their audience, but given your platform, I truly believe that you do hold that responsibility. It is an amazing feat that you have built such an amazing community of young people who look to you as inspiration for activism and anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist education. You have time and time again responsibly and powerfully created episodes that empower people to take action and rethink their views of the world. You say things that most popular creators shy away from, in a way that makes you heavily approachable for young girls looking for inspiration. I am 21 now, so I am confident in my ability to critique and analyze my own opinions, but I know if I found your page at a younger age, what you spoke on and did not speak on would heavily guide my own narrative. Your platform has been built upon this incredible strength and that has been what makes it so powerful. That is what makes this silence so scary to me. You should be so proud that so many young girls look to you, but you have to acknowledge the responsibility that that brings. You simply cannot ignore one of the largest atrocities that the US government has ever conducted while still considering yourself to be a progressive and educational podcast. Your words hold so much weight and it is incredibly disappointing to hear virtually nothing about this genocide. I unfortunately will be cancelling my patreon subscription, and will greatly miss being able to look to you both for humor and inspiration.

thank you for your recommendation!! Binchtopia has been the only podcast I have consistently listened to for years. I am feeling incredibly sad that I had to cancel my subscription. I am hoping that other podcasts bring me the same joy as Binchtopia once did. :(

mangoana
>>127836813

i'll miss the community i once found here - but comments like this on every post since October ("what do you expect them to end the war?" "they are not a swiss army knife!" "byee you don't need to announce your leaving!") broke the illusion of this being a space where we critically engage with world news and pop culture. was the intention of their Ukraine episode to end a war? or was it to have a knowledgeable guest on to speak about an issue and raise awareness? the humanity of palestinians needs visibility in western media in order to stop the genocide from happening. this is not a safe space for me or one i want to pay to be a part of anymore. and to be clear, we're entitled to comment just as you are.

Kat
>>127837122

and that somehow makes it acceptable? Palestinians who have posted about what’s going on have also lost their families, like literally lost their families. 25,000+ have been murdered, probably more under the rubble. hundreds of thousands of people are being starved. there are no hospitals left, no medical supplies. People are literally dying, and It’s incredibly privileged for them to not speak up about it when they have built their platforms by talking about world news and political issues in the past. I don’t know why we wouldn’t hold them up to the standard they have created for themselves.

>>127837122

this. theyve spoke on stuff like cop city and the ukraine-russia war, you cant claim to be leftist and then keep your mouth shut once it gets difficult. otherwise its performative. plenty of jewish people have spoke up in support of Palestine despite their family members disagreeing with them. i believe eliza and julia briefly spoke about it in the beginning of an episode but it needs to be more especially as the situation worsens. the very least they can do is something addressed to patrons as we are giving them our own money. it would even be less public so the backlash could possibly be less severe

>>127838488

This!!! I’m so sad at the silence. In my eyes it invalidates what they’ve stood for in the past. Israel is committing monstrous crimes and atrocities under the guise of their own freedom, when in reality it is purely for financial gain and power. Israel, a government with a military funded by global superpowers, operates with the clear and indisputable goal of eliminating an entire people and taking THEIR land, and anyone who cannot see that is drinking the propaganda koolaid. You can’t say shit like Bush did 9-11, and not see how Netanyahu and a long history of Israeli cruelty are the origin story of Hamas????

okay but where is any other discussion? They talked about it so briefly at the beginning, but it’s been 110 days. it’s a literal genocide and they’ve been silent ever since.

each of us has a responsibility. a platform is a privilege and a gift where a group of people uplift certain voices. J+E are choosing to protect themselves in silence. they’re making an enormous amount of money off of this platform. they wont risk it for the sake of standing by their original values. the pod isn’t the same as years ago when I subscribed. these aren’t people i’d be friends with. binchtopia feels unfamiliar. J+E are letting toxicity flourish in the comments section because they cant be bothered to acknowledge what the comments are talking about.

🍉🍉🍉It’s actually mind blowing that Binchtopia masquerades as a progressive and feminist podcast while not using their platform to draw any attention to the atrocities that Israel is ACTIVELY committing against the Palestinians. This is a human rights issue, it’s a feminist issue, it’s a public health issue, and it is undeniably a fucking GENOCIDE. I’m cancelling my patreon subscription (queue the white feminist saying log off then 💗) Thousands of women in Gaza have had to give birth without proper medical attention or even clean water. THOUSANDS of children will now have to live their lives with permanent disabilities as they are missing limbs from the bombs dropped on them, without any living family to support them. Women and girls have no menstrual products to manage their periods. Yet they have nothing to say, despite their platform. I actually cannot believe it. It was insane to hear Eliza mention patreon comments about people complaining about getting less episodes and completely gloss over the many comments asking them why they are silent on this genocide. Being neutral is choosing the side of the oppressor. Julia and Eliza have a significant platform and they could make some real change through it, but they can’t afford to release a single episode drawing attention to this human rights disaster. This podcast is just not what it used to be :/ I wonder why they could afford to talk about Ukraine, Iran, LGBTQ rights, children’s rights, but now they’re tight lipped… 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Jellybean
>>127956380

I would encourage any fellow patreonites who feel the same to cancel your subscription and take your money elsewhere. Donate to organizations that will bring food and medical supplies to Gaza (Gaza Emergency Appeal is a good organization that I’ve donated to multiple times). 1.7 million people are displaced without access to food or proper medical care. Free Gaza 🍉🍉🍉

The opposite of nuanced thought is black and white thinking, it’s not thinking deeply enough. Genocide isn’t nuanced, but deciding who has to speak on it is. Some people here seem to genuinely believe that what’s happening in Gaza is something only they are aware of, and have taken up the task to inform a world full of idiots who don’t care. To me, this comes across as not thinking very deeply, it’s delusional. It’s incredibly patronising to assume this audience is not media literate enough to keep up with what is happening. I do believe that listeners of this podcast are already very aware and doing everything they can, they are not lacking in guidance from the binchtopia podcast. We are so fortunate to have a choice of millions of podcasts, we don’t have to commit to just one. I already listen to True Anon, I listen to hundreds of podcasts that cover everything I want to learn about and have an interest in, so I don’t feel the need to demand one podcast cover it all. I assume other listeners also understand that Binchtopia is not the only podcast and are able to fulfil their every interest by branching out. I am not against Binchtopia doing an episode on the genocide if they choose to, but I also don’t see this as something that has to happen. I don’t see how it would make a difference when the audience is already very aware and has thousands of other sources. Palestinians are begging people to speak on it and thankfully millions of people are spreading information, I’ve not seen anything to this level before. If Binchtopia had the sole ability to save people and stop a war, they would’ve by now, but unfortunately life is not this easy. This could be shady of me, but for me this podcast has never been a source of information, it has been a silly place to laugh. Sometimes they talk about serious stuff, which is mostly reiterating things I already know, I enjoy it as I can nod along and feel understood, but I don’t see them as a source of necessary education, I don’t believe anyone should. This is not me saying I want to stay ignorant, it’s me saying I already stay informed from hundreds of better sources. This is not simply a ‘progressive feminist podcast’ that has to adhere to every rule demanded of them. Being a progressive feminist is just being a normal person. I don’t get disappointed and upset that something isn’t discussed at length, because I am already informed and believe likeminded people are too. I don’t see how another voice in a sea of voices would change a thing. It’s not like what’s happening in the Middle East is some niche underground thing, this is the majority of everyone’s social media and news sources, far far more than anyone was talking about Ukraine or Iran or any of the other serious topics they’ve covered. I do not believe any of these issues are interchangeable, covering one thing does not mean they have to become serious commentators on every horrific thing that happens in the world - the podcast would have to completely rebrand and never laugh again. Fortunately, they don’t have to do this because they are not the only podcast or source of information for anyone. I am media literate enough to know who to follow, to read the news and make my own assessments on what is reported from what I’ve learned elsewhere. I do not think I am special, I assume most other binchtopia listeners are the same. I know I’m repeating myself a lot here, I just want this point of view to be understood and not lumped in with ‘choosing the side of the oppressor.’ Binchtopia are lucky to have formed a community of well informed, empathetic and funny people. It’s a shame that courting a young left wing audience has inevitably caused it to collapse in on itself, as many communities have done beforehand. People will inevitably point out that they aren’t perfect, or committing their lives to a cause, they aren’t doing everything they personally believe every leftist should be doing. It’s a tale as old as time and unfortunately the reason why the left never wins, we always end up turning in on ourselves because some bitches hate nuance. I do assume that the people who tend to turn in on their own are spending too much time online, absorbing too much intense rhetoric that is causing them to believe that anyone who doesn’t speak about genocide endorses it. I can’t relate to this point of view, I strongly disagree. I am not being defensive or turning a blind eye, or fucking endorsing genocide. I just value nuanced thought and basic human understanding, and am shocked that so many former listeners lacked this. Good riddance! It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right, I hope you had the time of your lives.

Amanda Crampton

am I a dumb idiot baby or does the maths of going from four to six episodes a month being somehow being more for patreons not add up..?

Sophia Wahlstrom

Oh, other websites with bonkers bananas stories on them, you ask? Look no further than the Community Postings page on Craigslist.... literally ENDLESS hours of delight (unless you are on the missed connections which will only cause hours of horror). There is also a Best Of archive that compiles the most cuckoo posts, including this beautiful tale of a leetle lost kitty cat: https://www.craigslist.org/about/best/ric/6881185958.html

While I I do find it strange that they've barely talked about Gaza, the implication I've seen that this podcast is a great alternative to traditional news sources is a bit concerning. The fact that it's a comedy podcast does not mean that they shouldn't be serious, it means that it is not the most accurate or well researched source. If it makes you uncomfortable to stick around, that's fine, but I'd rather they point those who need it towards actual sources of information rather than discussing the situation just for the sake of discussing it.

I think they mean as a percentage we now get 100% more episodes as opposed to 50% more episodes than regular subscribers. Like our ratio got better. We still get less eps overall though

I just canceled and lose access February 1st. I’m so disappointed about their silence on the genocide in Gaza and their lack of community care when it comes to covid safety!!

Hannah
>>127978595

girl once again no one has accused them of endorsing genocide but ok. Literally Palestinians are just asking people to use their platforms and binchtopia isn’t doing that which is disappointing. But happy for your media literacy or whatever

Hannah
>>127978595

also not one of these comments is giving the impression that they’re the only one aware of what’s happening in Gaza. wild of you to be the arbiter of whether or not a platform using their reach would make a difference or not. If Palestinians say it would, I’ll listen to them.

I have literally trapped NPC Sims in my basement and used them as cattle for my vampire sims…..I have murdered children for being too ugly and bc I was too lazy to make them cute when they aged up…..I have had slave labor in the sims where I keep them in my basement and force them to paint, knit, etc so that I can sell their art and take their money….etc etc :)

>>127987536

They said they’re doing 2 regular eps and 2 bonus eps a month. So patreon members still technically get the same number of bonus eps, but total eps will decrease by 2. Idk why they’re acting like ppl are crazy for saying they’re not getting as much tbh

I can’t lie… Talking down to the people who PAY YOU MONEY for asking what they’re getting is certainly a choice. 💁🏻‍♀️

Audrey Elliott

y’all have to look at ogtha on reddit

Isø
>>127978595

Yes they literally have been, it’s been the standard response to their ‘silence’ - the comment below this one accuses them of choosing the side of the oppressor, and I’ve seen dozens more with the same implication. My point is that it’s amazing how many people are using their platforms to speak on this, so everyone here is already able to stay up to date with what is happening. Nobody in Palestine is directly calling upon binchtopia, who have a modest following comparatively of already informed listeners. If you think logically about this, I can’t see how speaking to an audience of informed likeminded people would be genuinely helpful and necessary. Again, not against them speaking on it, but it’s not the life and death situation some of you seem to think it is. Focus on what is actually helpful and reign in the pointless infighting. All of the comments in hysterics about binchtopia choosing to let people die are giving the impression that they’re passing on niche information that surely nobody else is informed about already. It’s misdirected anger and out of touch with reality.

Hannah
>>127978595

no one is saying it’s a life and death situation either, come on. I commented this on the previous thread but if they used their platform and even one person decided to attend a protest, donate to a relief fund, etc, that would be an impact in my eyes. Clearly we disagree on this and that’s fine, but it’s disingenuous to say that people are “in hysterics” for being disappointed with their initial statement and the following silence from the pod. The comments I’ve read have been very measured and articulate, but perhaps because we disagree we’re reading into them differently.

Isø
>>127978595

If this is as low key as trying to get one person to do something, it’s not worth the multiple intensely worded comments about how they can no longer support the podcast. I’m not being disingenuous, if you read any these comments they do read very life and death at the hands of the binchtopia podcast. And yeah I still disagree, everyone who would attend a protest and donate have figured out how to do that by now, information on this is not lacking elsewhere.

Isø
>>127978595

To me, it’s disingenuous for you to imply these critiques are solely good natured. They are all extremely scolding and blaming them for not doing enough to change one of the most deeply rooted global conflicts in history, acting like this is a necessary thing for binchtopia to address and that it’s dangerous to not. That is clear misdirected anger to me, which is understandable but irritating. There is no real thought or logic behind these accusations, you’re now saying it’s all innocently trying to change one mind, as if the listeners not already very aware. We can only do what we can, but acting like they have the ability to make a genuine difference and are choosing not to is so wrong to me.

Audrey
>>127978595

It’s interesting how you are implying that staying informed/going to protests/etc is something that should be individually managed instead of encouraged in shared spaces where people find community and identity such as this one. “Staying informed”, finding good sources, and “picking a side” is a lotttt easier than actual action (protests, donations, etc). Those actions can feel a bit more intimating, especially the public ones, like you are some how breaking social norms or disrupting life. It is important that those actions are encouraged and normalized by those who people look up to (and I would say a lot of people look up to Julia and eliza) to create a climate where people are emboldened to to them. And I think there a huge urgency with this particular issue, especially in the US, where every person with a platform should use it. Why not even go a bit “overboard” with the information, if it results in something actually changing? The worst that can happen is discomfort and annoyance, best thing is that 100s of people could decide to commit to a protest or donating. If everyone you knew and respected was out there protesting you’d probably do it too and then I think we could be in a lot different of a scenario. Knowledge and staying informed only goes so far. Yes I know that pretty much everyone here is aware of what’s happening, but it really doesn’t matter if no one actually does anything about it. And that will only happen (in my opinion) through social pressure and forcing constant attention on the issue, because our rat brains will hide from the discomfort of it at every opportunity.

Audrey
>>127978595

However that’s just my two cents, I appreciated your well thought out point of view for the most part, except when it lowkey got snarky about people being online too much or not having nuanced thought or basic human understanding, so good riddance to them. I agree that we should move towards collective action and not get caught up in infighting, but that was giving infighting asf. Everyone’s trying to figure this shit out and do what they think they are morally obligated to

scarlett

eliza sounds more sultry than usual

Isø
>>127978595

Thank you for trying to understand where I’m coming from, and for thoughtfully explaining your point of view! I don’t think that staying informed should be purely individually managed, my repeated point is more that this is something already being discussed on a massive scale, so I struggle to believe any binchtopia listener is lacking on guidance and information. I disagree that specifically binchtopia speaking on it is as necessary as some people here believe, to the point that they vow to never listen again. We should be grateful that this is being widely discussed and that everyone knows how to protest and donate at this point. This was never binchtopia’s sole responsibility, as thankfully we have millions of other sources. I don’t understand the desire to force people to speak on something so horrific if they don’t choose to. We’re all doing our best to not have a breakdown and people should respect others boundaries. I think people should try to be more understanding of the multitude of human experience and not get so caught up in intense online activist rhetoric. Disagreeing with the point of view that everyone with a platform has to be speaking on this is not ‘choosing the side of the oppressor’. It’s just sticking with my own instinct and beliefs about how the world works. I can see that there is no lack of information out there, so I question the necessity of harassing podcasters to do something they don’t feel they have to. I’d even go as far to speculate that the intense belief that ‘everyone with a platform has to be speaking on this or they endorse genocide and ignore the pleas of the dying’ take is a deliberate ploy to dilute the spread of genuinely helpful information and numb everyone. Idk, it’s 5am this is tinfoil hours, wouldn’t surprise me though. Moral obligation is personal, everyone is doing what they believe is right. I believe everyone in this community has good intentions, so I think some people should relinquish the belief that they can control the thoughts and actions of others to align with their specific worldview. That’s not helpful activism, it’s just being a pest and invalidating the work of those who are genuinely trying to help. Putting the blame on a comedy podcast for not speaking enough about the most popular and intense thing in the world right now is still baffling to me.

Isø
>>128023473

I think considering they’ve discussed struggling with eating disorders in the past, you could consider having some empathy around what you perceive to be fatphobia.. the episode Liberating The Almond Moms from last January was literally about fatphobia.

Isø
>>128023473

And yeah they have the right to keep ignoring the intense comments pleading them to address something they already said they weren’t going to discuss further, and accusing them of horrific things. If some listeners don’t understand boundaries, they’re better off without them.

Isø
>>128023473

I truly don’t idolise them, nobody should. I think they’re funny and smart, but not perfect people who have to bend to my every whim. I’m older than them so would be weird to idolise. I just see them as normal people who I cannot control and think some listeners need to get a grasp on that. Lol when did I insult you? I just responded to your rude accusation with a suggestion of empathy and directed you to a relevant episode. Truly didn’t mean to offend, I can still genuinely wish people the best after disagreeing with them.

Courtenay Schembri Gray
>>128023473

Your rude accusation is a simple observation is true of many people. They aren’t the first and won’t be the last. Aside from the fatphobia, they also talk down to their audience, just like they did in this episode.

Courtenay Schembri Gray
>>128023473

You also don’t know me, so it is very insulting to tell me to have some empathy when I am one of the most sensitive people, but you wouldn’t know that. You made an assumption instead.

Isø
>>128023473

Yeah, I was just giving your observation the context it needed. They’ve spoken openly about having previously struggled with eating disorders, that’s the context to any perceived fatphobia. The fact that they’ve done an episode about it should be enough to explain their outlook there. I’ve never felt talked down to listening to this podcast, or any podcast really. They don’t know you so how could they talk down to you? I wouldn’t take anything they say personally. But fair enough if that’s how you feel, maybe this isn’t your vibe.

Courtenay Schembri Gray
>>128023473

Also, they are the ideal body type, so discussing fatphobia when you’ve not grown up fat and being bullied for it, it is insulting.

Isø
>>128023473

Everyone thinks they have empathy, but can still have blind spots. I think accusing people who’ve openly discussed fatphobia of fatphobia is lacking some. Also accusing them of having a bitchy tone and talking down to people doesn’t read as very empathetic to me either. Sensitive, sure, but not to other peoples experiences. I also see myself as sensitive and empathetic, but my sensitivity can lead me to being a bitch sometimes. It is what it is.

Isø
>>128023473

If I don’t know someone, I know that any perceived condescension isn’t personal, so no need read into it and take personal offence. Do you though, sorry to have chimed in. I’m clearly not doing very well mentally myself atm. I genuinely do still wish you the best.

kate
>>128023473

i just want you to know that the way you’re handling this is very immature. Isø is trying to explain in a very helpful manner and has not resorted to any form of insults. Both girls have talked about their struggle with ED which can be ingrained in people’s mindset no matter how far along they are into recovery. I’d recommend checking out Elizas recent substack where she talks about how she still struggles to this day with her ED. be compassionate, don’t blindly accuse

Courtenay Schembri Gray

To the contrary, I am a mature person. What I said shouldn’t garner questions. I am a fat woman, and have experienced plenty of fatphobia in my life. I don’t take kindly to people calling me “immature” or “rude” for validly pointing out the internalised fatphobia of two women with ideal body types.

Her Substack is a part of the problem, and the person you refer to tried to invalidate my experience because they blindly support two privileged women. The fatphobia wasn’t the main part of my comment. I was originally referring to their condescension to the people paying them money.

While I agree with some of what you are saying, I think you framing this as a comedy podcast is pretty misleading and missing a huge part of why people are upset. This podcast’s whole brand identity is built on discussing capitalism, imperialism, racism, gender, etc in pop culture and in other framings. You cannot separate those core values from the fact that yes, they are funny. And most importantly, they are making a profit off of that branding as people who are at least somewhat informed and willing to call out those structures. So when something urgent and horrifying is happening right now that exemplifies all of those structures but they refuse to say anything except “yeah that’s bad” months ago, and when they have the disposable income, platform and the knowledge of those structures to at least make the tiniest effort to help, but don’t, then yes, it’s extremely disappointing. Is it to protect their profit? Personal relationships? I don’t know, I wish they would at least acknowledge it and not turn a compete blind eye. Also, I’m not sure what circles you are in but I still know plentyyyy of people with their head in the sand who would rather go on consuming sunshine and roses to placate themselves instead of being informed, so I don’t think your statements are as widely applicable as you may think. That’s just what I’m seeing though.

both of y’all have a bitchy tone and its intentional. so do J+E. they play it off as casual ‘hey girlie’ tone but it’s meant to insult or agitate the person you’re speaking to. this comment thread is proof of binchtopia becoming bitchtopia. glad i unsubscribed.

Aura
>>128003117

agreed. they’re not doing research in good faith and its not peer reviewed. it’s irresponsible considering how large their audience is. i really cringe to think of what this pod has become

Aura
>>127978595

you sound new here. we’re leaving the patreon bc the pod high key sucks now. their attitudes are garbage and they sound spoiled as fuck. the episodes are lazier than before. and the other binchies are rude. anyone who subscribed more than a year ago is shocked at their silence seeing as they’ve covered every other hot topic on the internet over the past three years.

>>128003117

honestly I think it's more on the listerners to be discerning, seeing as they are entertainers and not journalists. but given how young some of the listeners are it's reasonable to expect that not everyone knows better

>>127978595

I’ve been here since the very first episode, we just have different expectations it seems. Touching on important topics in the past doesn’t mean they have to talk about everything horrible that happens in the world, we obviously disagree on the genuine difference this would make. They said they wouldn’t discuss this further so you should just accept that, because it’s not as deep and severely life-and-death important as some of you seem to believe. Binchtopia can’t change what’s happening and don’t have the influence you think, in my view. I do still think they have those core values, as I do too.

People r sooo unbelievably mean on reddit once I posted for help in r/acne because I suddenly had a painful full face of it… was told I needed therapy and was too vain by redditors 😭😭 turns out it was my birth control my body didn’t like so it went away but jesus chris

Wakara Miller

makes me sad still no comment on palestine not even a quick link to donations at the beginning of the podcasts! reminders of boycotts each day like most podcasters have been doing! it rubs me the wrong way and makes me think of julia a bit different as a fellow jewish binchie as the time they addressed it julia seemed defensive and was talking about “both sides” and “complicated issue.” “war.” This is not a war. NEVER AGAIN.

Saddened by the lack of discussion on Palestine:,( feeling disappointed

This is really uncool to say when Eliza has history of an ED. They’ve discussed internalized fatphobia in past episodes too

Wakara Miller
>>128003117

however without going in on the issue & educating everyone they could still address the boycotts or places to donate

Mallie
>>128023473

Not that I’m accusing anyone of anything, but a history of ED does not excuse even subtle fatphobia. I’m happy to expand on that if anybody needs me to. Plus, if one isn’t fat, they CANNOT have internalized fatphobia: that’s called regular fatphobia.

>>128003117

for sure, pointing people in the right direction at least. they aren't the only place to find this information but there's no reason they can't provide it

using that word to describe strangers (or actually, using that word at all...are you a 6th grade boy in 2011?) and then claiming that others are the ones making things miserable... here's a mirror🪞

Lily

yeah sorry you're right, all of your comments thus far definitely make you sound peaceful & grounded ❤️

Palestinians actually ARE calling on Americans and asking them to use their platforms to draw attention to what’s happening to them… insane the mental hoops you have to jump through to justify them not even doing the BARE minimum to acknowledge what’s happening. I think this attitude is super pessimistic, a lot of people look up to Julia and Eliza and if they could just release some information about organizations to donate to, or places to boycott, they could make a difference. Not everyone has the same “media literacy” as you, and (good or bad) listen to this podcast as a source of info on current events

>>127978595

In what way is this a mental hoop? I’m just looking at the situation logically and not being an annoying pest about something that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Again, many many many people are choosing to speak on this and that’s amazing. Nobody is calling directly upon the binchtopia podcast to save the day. You can’t force people to do something and it would genuinely make no difference if they did - you have to consider the audience, I do think listeners of this podcast are media literate enough to be already aware and have plenty of other sources of information. Be grateful that literally millions of people are speaking on this already. There are bigger battles to be fighting than whether a comparatively small podcast joins the ocean of voices. Respect people’s autonomy and stop trying to force something that isn’t even necessary. Yeah I do think it’s bad to see this podcast as a source of information on current events, there are plenty of better choices for that. This is just a podcast with girls chatting about what they want, sometimes it’s serious and sometimes not, it’s never been that deep and you’ve misinterpreted the vibe. They have never been here to educate you. Nobody should be lacking on information about this and blaming binchtopia for not informing them. That’s wild to me.

Am I too late to recommend r/offmychest and r/nostupidquestions?

>>128367606

not to be all parasocial but I hope eliza and julia see this thread. I hadn’t given much thought to the “the pod has changed” discourse pre-Oct 7 but if they’re cultivating a “community” where people think this is a safe space for throwing around the r slur then I guess it’s really fallen more than I thought :/ clearly they’ve made their choice so I haven’t spoken about it much besides cancelling my subscription but it’s a big shift from the values that made me connect with and enjoy the pod

Girlies y’all just had Willy Wonka on the brain bc during the teleportation bit I was reminded of Wonka asking Mike Teavee’s father which half of his son he prefers to come back out when he goes into the TV lmao
