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've heard that comedy is when you suddenly upend expectations in a shocking or unexpected way, ie the punchline. And since fash like things to be predictable, maybe they just can't do humor bc they don't like that sudden surprise? So they just yell slurs to be smug in their sadism?
I posted above that I did punch up a conservative comedy routine, kept the content and spirit of the jokes but made them into jokes. This can totally be done from a conservative perspective and you can get jokes that are bad socially but conceivably funny. They're just really bad at joke making and I think you've got some of the reason there.
