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!

You honestly got it, this is an example of someone creating discourse for the sake of discourse to stop people from using the term "weird" against oppressors (either knowingly or unknowingly). This is because weird is a term to label those outside the societal consensus, and so fascists and reactionaries are very afraid of being called weird as it signals they are now outside the societal consensus while what they hate, minority groups/lgbtq groups/neurodiverse peoples are normalized or becoming normalized in their oh so valuable consensus of "normal".
