"Uncritical ppl who want to belong" is the shared category here probably.

i'm still a bit confused as to where exactly that sense of belonging lies. quite a weird quirk that one of the biggest communities on the internet is a website that has little in the way of user communication.
― Merdeyeux, Monday, 14 July 2014 15:01 (nine years ago) link
that might be part of the key; actually communicating is a bit scary
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 14 July 2014 15:48 (nine years ago) link
It's not communication that indicates belonging, it's seeing ppl who look like you, consume the same things, and being able to locate yourself in the security of that mass.

what the hell
in related news, i saw a family of man, woman and three small kids all wearing 'keep calm and chive on' tshirts at disneyworld a couple of weeks ago, it was weird and creepy
― bizarro gazzara, Thursday, 27 August 2015 13:26 (eight years ago) link
Thank you for this thread. I recently happened upon a pair of magic sunglasses that allow me to finally fully register this 'KEEP CALM AND CHIVE ON' thing that is everywhere but that I'd somehow previously managed to ignore. Glad to see some confirmation that it's just as sinister as its vague, jovial ubiquity would suggest.

My wife shared some chive image on fb the other day, but as far as I can tell she was just sharing it from some other fb friend. She has a long-standing crush on Bill Murray though, so who knows, maybe I should just sign her up?

So much in one paragraph:
The Chive’s founders, brothers Leo and John Resig, have so effectively branded a certain kind of lifestyle and identity that the membership, from giving to submitting, does most of the work itself. (Leo Resig declined to comment for this article, though he said he was a “big fan” of The Awl.) They live in Venice, California, and the site's name, by the way, is apparently a contraction of Chicago and Venice; the Resigs were born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They have other interests as well: John Resig is a recurring minor character on "True Blood." Their sisters, Emily and Megan, are the editors of the sister site the Berry, which "gives ladies a much needed one-stop destination to peruse hot male celebs, funny photos, daily gossip, fashion, viral videos and adorable animals," and features an "eye candy" section of dudes in the same space where The Chive features its Chivettes. The Berry gets a bit more than 10% of the traffic of The Chive, according to Quantcast. The company's other sub-sites, The Throttle—pictures of hot cars—and The Brigade—tagline "In 'Merica We Trust," with lots of photos of guns, tanks and uniforms—skew even more male, about 80%, and are about the same size as the Berry.― heavy on their trademark ballads (Eazy), Saturday, July 12, 2014 12:11 AM (1 year ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
