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!

My partner has a friend whose wife my partner and I both dislike! I refuse to do double dates because I know I’m not going to have a good time.
She’s just such a lib - rich upbringing, distaste for unions, refusal to consider the possibility that things could get better through collective action. She has kind of a mean, spiteful sense of humor. She’s inconsiderate towards anyone she doesn’t like much (including my partner and I).
She’s also homophobic/transphobic, even though she doesn’t think she is! She makes snide comments about her husband’s masculinity when he does anything that doesn’t read cishet to her. She even did it once with my partner! It was so pathetic! My partner and I aren’t insecure about his masculinity, so it was really funny to us and we still joke about it to this day.
God I fucking hate liberals. Had to listen to my mom and her friend go off about Caitlyn Jenner. "I don't care if [s]he want to be a woman or is gay or whatever. I just don't think [s]he should be playing women's sports. To me, [s]he's always going to be [deadname]."
If you don't care, then why are you dead naming and misgendering her, while saying trans women can't compete in women's sports? I spoke up about how trans people have been allowed in the Olympics for years, yet the number of them who have won medals is tiny (I think 2 bronze metals in 30 years or some shit?). So either they deliberately lose because it "gives real women a chance!" or they win and it's "they had an unfair advantage!" There will be an excuse to unfairly penalize them, on top of all the usual bullshit.
So it's not just petite-bourgeois asshats. It's reactionary white people and people who settled on their worldview at 23 and have kept it the same for 40+ years because God forbid they read a fucking book that's non-fiction.
Edit: transphobia corrections as suggested below.
Jenner uses her old name when talking about her past [do not look at her ex wife's wikipedia talk page], but also, she doesnt even play sport anymore, she's in her 60s lol
you are using her old name, even if youre quoting someone, probably could just say [their old name], or something
anyway, fuck Jenner, she was invited by israel to be the guest of honour at the pride parade this year and did a tour of 'oct 7 sites'
