Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Like a story can literally beat someone over the head with a theme or moral and people somehow come to the opposite conclusion?

It's like "Tyler Durden is so manly and cool" except every bit of media feels like it's misinterpreted like that now.

Yeah, I had a transphobic chud just state, "I don't want to talk about this anymore" as soon as i pointed out he was confusing Sex and Gender. They have nothing past the surface level. All they can do is repeat what they heard last. Its fucking sad, and terrifying.

That's when I usually get all up in their face and call them triggered and snowflakes, turn their own bullshit back on them.
