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.

Isekais will justify having the protagonist own slaves because "it's realistic" yet never have the protagonist, who is from a modern first-world country, get dysentery from untreated medieval water. (hexbear.net)

Well yeah, but the isekaiee here is gonna have that problem regardless of what they eat, drink or where they live. I believe euergetes' point is less "the water is safe for you to drink with no ill effects" and more "the water is no more risky than anything else you'll find"

You're not wrong, but my point was less about water specifically and more about how isekais just use "realism" as an excuse to justify the worst sort of wish fulfillment.
