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!
Edit: She had never heard of the show either.
I'm nearly 30 and I didn't watch the X-files until I was nearly done with college. A lot of episodes just aren't that interesting for a kid/teen. But it sorta makes it more special when your brain is ready for it and you just go down the deep end.
I'm nearly 37 and I didn't watch them until two months ago. Our dad wouldn't let us watch it on TV because he was against "conspiracy theories" (even fictional ones). I was very aware that the show existed, however, because I'd see the previews right after the Simpsons aired.
