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!

theres no such thing as a guilty pleasure. you either like it or you dont. saying it's a guilty pleasure is trying to have your cake and eat it too -- you want to establish your taste as too good to like this bad thing, while simultaneously admitting that the bad thing is in fact bad.

I’m also not a big fan of the term guilty pleasure when it comes to media but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say “I enjoy this thing but don’t necessarily think it’s good”
Either because it’s widely unpopular despite you enjoying it, or you recognize it as having little or negative cultural value. “I enjoy watching Law and Order even though I believe it is harmful to society”
