Periodic reminder that I am generally happy to tag things on request, to the best of my ability, but I do not preemptively tag things other than autoplaying videos, flashing gifs, spiders, and nsfw content, for which my “this is too much and needs a tag” bar is fairly high. Blood/gore, religion, nudity (real or art), explicit fic/words, politics, and kink content are common enough that i will *probably* tag but you shouldn’t expect it.

This has been a PSA. Edited to add: I’m queer and jewish and hate terfs. Just in case you were going to ask for that kind of nonsense.

While I'm posting here and no longer under any obligation to rep the company, I might as well share this incredibly funny story from behind the scenes that I don't think ever got out: Due to the constant problems we had around "The Chaser" being also a name of a sex thing online (you would not BELIEVE the kind of confused fan mail I had to sort through), in 2019 we had very seriously planned to rebrand our online channels.

After a laborious process whittling down hundreds of potential names we settled on another alcohol related term, a popular Australian slang term for wine, as we thought that was in the spirit of "The Chaser" but also uniquely Australian.

Literally the only reason we didn't end up rebranding was the whole company fell into an omnishambles in 2020, and we were all too busy both figuratively and literally putting out fires to even think about doing a full company rebrand.

And that, my friends, is how The Chaser through sheer dumb luck, managed to avoid what would have gone down as possibly one of the worst company rebrands in the history of everything, when that same name came to mean something else VERY different a few years later:
