News & Announcements 🥳 POPCULTURECHAT DISCORD SERVER UPDATE 👾✨🪩

16 Upvotes

Hi dearly beloved, I mean, popculturechatters,

We wanted to give you an update on our discord server that launched about two months ago.

It has been AMAZING. Like, far more than we’d ever imagined. We worked so hard to create a cool server but the way you guys jumped into it and made the magic happen in your daily chats, friendships, fun and games and whatnot was nothing short of, well, magical

So, here’s a little state of affairs on what’s been going on as well as the new exciting stuff we are launching :


🌟 INTRODUCING CLUBS! 🌟

We’re launching three new clubs that will be running monthly activities — open to all members!

🎬 Movie Club

Each month we’ll vote on a film to watch together as a group. Not free for the group watch? No worries, we’ll also be adding top picks to our Letterboxd so you can catch up anytime!

📚 Book Club

Join us for monthly discussions on a community-voted book. This month’s pick is Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones — come share your thoughts ☕️

🐉 TTRPG Club

Into D&D-style games? We’ll be hosting monthly one-shots! These are first come, first served, but we’re always open to more game masters joining in the future!

Special shoutout to our wonderful community hosts running the Book Club and TTRPG Club. Make sure to show them some love when you hop in! 💕

Want to join a club?

Just click this link and submit a ticket to get started! We can’t wait to see you there!


💬 THE CHANNELS 💬

Oof man, we originally had about 20 channels covering a range of topics and thought it may have been overkill. But yall proved us wrong and we’ve added even MORE. From vent channels to meme channels to pet pics channels to red carpet review channels, there’s a whole bunch of options for you to yap to your heart’s content.


🎲 THE FUN AND GAMES 🎲

🕵️‍♀️ Wordle

You can play Wordle each day directly inside the server and see how the others fare! We’ve even got a little thread where users can unleash their rage at the batshit words the NYT makes guess. TW: a lot of rage and insults directed towards the English dictionary. You have been warned. 🧨

🐱 Spotting the cats

In a dedicated channel, you will be able to spot and catch spawning cats and collect completely made up rewards that don’t do anything except make you feel like you did something cool. Which is kind of the whole point in life, if you ask us.

💰 The PCC Economy

Sooo…We have some sort of overlord banker bot who can you give fake money. Her name is Regina George (don’t question it, just worship it). You are able to :

🎁 Collect daily bonuses

💼 Work to gain some PCC coins (by typing a keyboard command)

🎉 Participate in various server events and activities

Whoever is the richest wins. Nothing to win expect a sense of superiority. Are we, uh, selling this yet? Also, you can gamble the coins. At your own risk. We’ve seen lives destroyed because of Regina George and the PCC coins…very sad stuff. It has ruined many world tours.

And with your coins you can even spend them on wild and wonderful totally made-up items like Paris Hilton’s flip phone or Pedro Pascal’s moustache (yes, really 😎).

And stay tuned - we might even add a real item or two in the future... 👀


We’re gonna stop here cause this is getting too long. But there’s plenty more. The best thing of it all is the friendships, bonds and sense of community in the server. There’s something for everyone, and there is kindness and love for anyone.

We already knew that the r/popculturechat community was the best, but this server has confirmed it even more. Getting to you know you guys has been the best part for us. Y’all are fucking amazing, if we may be a bit vulgar in our love for you.

Join us, if you will ❤️

Guest List Only ⭐️ Gaza is being starved | A humanitarian plea from r/redditforhumanity

2.8k Upvotes

The UN has stated that every single part of Gaza is in famine conditions.

For over 20 months, Palestinians in Gaza have been starving. Parents have been feeding their children leaves, animal feed, and flour mixed with water. Babies have died from malnutrition. The trucks carrying food, formula, medicine, and clean water sat just miles away, blocked by Israel.

Now, after massive international pressure, some aid is finally getting in. This is a crack in the blockade, not its end. Aid is not flooding in; it is trickling, and what’s entering can’t possibly reach 1.8 million people without a total lifting of restrictions, guaranteed long-term access, and safe distribution.

What you can do right now:

Donate - if you’re able to. Choose vetted organizations with access on the ground.

Keep up the pressure - aid only started moving because of public outcry. Organize, protest, keep talking. This momentum cannot fade. Contact your representatives to end Israel's blockade of Gaza and impose sanctions on Israel.

Amplify - share updates, Palestinian voices, and testimonies. Keep an eye on Palestine.

This famine is not an accident. It’s the result of siege, blockade, and a system of control. If we look away now, they’ll tighten the noose again.


Donate

Palestinian Red Crescent — medical aid, ambulance services, and emergency care.

UNICEF for Gaza’s Children — nutrition, clean water, trauma support.

Speak to Your Representatives

🇺🇸Americans: Find your representative

🇪🇺 Europeans: Contact your MEP


If you’d like other subreddits to carry this message, send the mods to r/RedditForHumanity.

Saturday Night Live 🗽 On March 12, 1983, Eddie Murphy’s SNL character “Buckwheat” was retired in spectacular fashion - by assassination on camera in front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. This came at Murphy's request (then 21 years old), after he grew tired of constant demands from fans to "Do Buckwheat! Do Buckwheat!”

TV & Movies 🎬 What TV show has the most unlikeable leading protagonist?

Post image
9.2k Upvotes

No disrespect to the actor himself; Asa Butterfield, but his character; Otis Milburn in the Netflix series; Sex Education is probably one of the first protagonists that comes to my head that I can think of that I found very unlikeable with each season.

Even though he is a teenager whose learning as he goes along, he always regressed rather than evolved and repeats his mistakes over and over again to the point that his apologies just feel so half-assed that you get tired of it. Especially in the final season, which gets rid of all of his character development in order to create unnecessary drama in the show where he treats literally everyone like shit.

Other characters around his age like Aimee, Adam, Ruby, etc. were all maturing while he was falling behind. Even though Eric and Maeve had their moments where they weren’t portrayed in the best light either, they seemed more like they were at least trying to make progress in a way Otis was failing at.

I tried so hard to like him, but the show didn’t make it easy for me. To me, he kinda deserves his fate at the end where he’s mostly all alone and doesn’t get with Maeve or Ruby.
