Chat? This isn't a chat room :P I guess it's a forum, now that I think about it!
Feck Disney, by the by, bloody awful how evil they are :-(
asking "chat" for feedback is a tiktok meme. chat is @[email protected] out of touch? ;)
I'm ancient apparently. Referring to chat always comes to my head as livestreaming on twitch.
You're correct. Imitating this sort of speech even outside of Twitch is essentially the meme. The joke is that streamers get so inebriated with talking to the chat that even when no chat exists in real-life they still reflectively reference it. This meme started on TikTok but it has spread into general Gen Z pop culture.
