RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

There was this tall thin guy in a grey tracksuit, baseball cap and neckchain at my school who'd step in and protect me from other girls trying to start shit with me. he was intimidating at first but also really friendly to me. All my experiences with chavs have been positive, and idk there's just something about the look which is really attractive to me. i think they get a bad rap and are unfairly demonised tbh, i really don't think they're anymore "dangerous" than any other subculture it's just that when a "goth" (for example) kills someone it's one small article which gets forgotten, if a "chav" kills someone you can bet there's gonna be at least 10 DailyMail articles on it

was in a Chinese takeaway Thursday evening waiting for my order to be cooked and there was a really cute chav sitting there a little older than me. he talked to me about random stuff and was flirty in a sweet way. he tried to ask me out but he wasn't from my area he was just visiting. so when i told him I'm from here he was really disappointed. when his food was done as he was walking out the shop he complimented my looks and told me he hopes I get a really good guy and it made my day and kinda still has me giddy lol. at the same time it's kinda hurtful to see so many people would just hate them from the getgo/assume they're dangerous without even getting to know them ๐Ÿ˜ž

Always thought the equivalent here was "white trash" not red necks.

A red neck is based more on profession.

I see you're a redneck aficionado, it's great that you've found your thing as well!
