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!

Fuck I didn't think the libs would be able to do it.. There's reactionaries posting shit like... 'how are we wierd?' And seemingly genuinely butthurt.

They should have been taking this strategy a long time ago instead of always acting mortified. I think chuds relish when they horrifying the people they don't like.

Right. I think it works best when really just used occasionally, and mostly by smaller-time actors. Harris gave a speech the other day that included a line like "and by the way, have you noticed how a lot of these guys are just plain WEIRD?" It felt unnatural and, well, weird. Waltz and people like him can deliver it convincingly because they can talk about normal things they do. Harris can't, because she is also weird. If they oversaturate with it, it's going to lose effectiveness.
