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!

People gain weight when they get older eventually.
I mean, I get it. Nobody wants to gain weight. But this is what a fucked-up body image does to people. Hell, I feel bad sometimes 'cause I essentially have a "slob-bod" and my family is always telling me to "exercise" or "lose some weight." Dammit, I want to exercise on my own initiative!
Edit: I think it's harder on women in capitalist countries.
Please tell your family that Mr. ButtBidet invites them to eat his perpetually clean ass.
I feel like too much value given to women comes down to their weight. Sorry that wasn't profound.
Yeah, it's not very profound lol, but it's still true, even after all the feminist movements we've had all the years. We need, like, a fifth-wave of feminism or whatever. Not sure which one we should be on by now. I feel like we've regressed, if anything.
We need gulags for people who voice that this shit matters. Also I do thing if more people were prole, we'd all care less about bourgeois beauty standards.
agreed
it destroys lives, imho
