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!

I was looking back over my posts, and that was my honest reaction. It's not very nice to keep autistic children around as your goofy lolcow, you know. Friends don't let friends post cringe. In your own words, I want to know why you thought it was fine to act like the kind of fuckin internet posting I do was fine, and that I should continue to do so, more, worse. Does that really seem like a good idea to you? Go look at those comments and say it to my face, fucker.

If you didn't, you are obligated to share with the class why you didn't offer even an ounce of dissent about it. There's a point past which politeness becomes condescending, and many months ago you could have saved everyone a ton of trouble, if you'd just said "this is terrible" or maybe even "lol cringe" at some point. It would have been mean, but it would have been less mean than sitting back and alllowing the high volumes of horror and embarrassment that ensued to happen. I mean, really.

If you disagree, I'd like to invite you to consider that you're wrong, and whoever gave me the ability to think and transcribe those thoughts with a keyboard has a lot to answer for. I looked at the megathreads today, and seeing people even partially attribute the 2500+ comment threads to my repulsive disaster posting is awful. There are people who actually post things of value in those threads.

I mostly post about fucking VTubers, nothing could be worse than that

Real talk though, I'm fucking terrible at and terrified of expressing myself. I post easily less than 10% of the words I write here--and that's honestly pretty good by my standards because outside of Hexbear I barely attempt to write or say anything at all beyond the most superficial social niceties. So I really appreciate people who are able to just be vulnerable and talk about all sorts of things without letting the cop in their heads stop them. Also, I'm pretty bad at noticing usernames when I'm reading through threads, but I know I've seen you around a lot and we've interacted a few times and I've never found you cringe. Glad to have you back! cat-trans

In the race to the bottom of the weeaboo trashbin, I will take VTubers over gacha bs any day. Critical support ig.

I like that people see being open and vulnerable as a good thing, that was part of the point! Being really terminally annoying and abrasive means it's not always a good idea for me though =)
