Are Chavs/Charvas actually more likely to be dangerous compared to other groups of people (ie Goths/Nerds etc)?
- Thread starter Tealx
- Start date
I got told it's been charva since the 80's and the term got shortened into chav in the late 90's or early 2000's. Charva is more popular a term in the Northeast but it's now being used by people who aren't from the Northeast as a way of reclaiming/rebranding chav since the word "chav" is associated with so much demonisation from the 2000's
It's funny that so many people to this day, don't realise that Devvo, was a character, played by Christian Webb, who was a respected school teacher and youth support worker. He was sacked years later when they school board found out about Devvo, despite a big petition by the parents to reinstate him.
Well, charva sounds like larva, which makes sense, since they're both vile maggoty things.
No idea where you're getting this idea of a resurgence of "chav culture" or "rebranding"; **** have always been **** regardless of what people call them and regardless of what they wear.
There's currently a general 90's retro fashion thing going on, so it stands to reason that's what they're wearing, nothing to do with rebranding, it's just that's what's available to rob from the shops.

The OP innit. They already been rumbled over in the gpu section too - rabbiting on about gpu pricing history - which is interesting because it would look like they’ve been buying (or claiming to) high end gpu’s since they were a foetus.
I just had a quick peek, that's genuinely hilarious
It is rather creepy though, a grown man pretending to be a 17 year old girl. We laugh about it but if I had a daughter of that age and she ended up chatting to some bloke on the internet who was pretending to be a 17 year old girl I'd probably cut his head off.
oh i'd cut his head off too.....but i'd be starting with the 'little' head first. as you say, very weird behaviour from a supposedly adult male.
So you're saying you haven't been buying high end GPUs since you were a wee baby?!
This thread with the OP, whoever he is, just reminds me of when we got taught not to speak to strangers. Mind you, most of us here on the forum are obviously strangers, but when you've got somebody trying to pretend to be a girl in an online space, all it can take is a naive person being messaged by them/messaging them to go horribly wrong...
Where did I claim to be buying high end GPU's? The computer I have now is one I got for my birthday years ago. I haven't bought a GPU yet, I was saying I wouldn't pay that much for just a GPU alone because some whole computers cost that price.
i know, i was late to the party - only started buying gpu's when i was able to trade my play dough for them. prior to that i was a console kiddy - but the bluetooth signal from inside my mums gusset to the console was ropey so my controller kept dropping out. also seeing the screen through a hairy thatch was a bit off putting. definitely need MFG and RT turned on.
I'm a she. I'm not sure where you get the idea that I've been buying high end GPU's since I was a baby. This computer was a birthday present and the GPU already came with it. I just wouldn't pay nearly a thousand for a GPU alone if I had to buy one.
Do you genuinely think anyone believes you? Have you considered that maybe we're not all as stupid/gullible as you may think and that your hilariously poor attempts to convince us that you're a 17 year old girl are just insulting our intelligence?
We've all dealt with teenagers throughout our lives and oddly enough, some of us have even been teenagers ourselves
We know when someone's talking out their balloon knot and you sir, have more red flags than Tiananmen Square.

Believe me about what? That I got a good computer for my birthday?
I'm cis but I hope you know it's still very rude to misgender someone. And I'm not 17. Point me to where I said that or stop putting words in my mouth?

Yes, we know you're not 17. Or 18
Dunno what cis has got to do with it, I said you're a bloke, not a homosexual.
You're giving off some serious creepy vibes. You talk like no teenager ever talks. You're on a forum which teenagers haven't used in over a decade. You're using vocabulary that no teenager would ever use. You're saying you own graphics cards that were released when you would've been a baby.
Either you're a very odd teenager, or an adult trying to pass yourself off as an 18 year old girl, which means you're either a fed looking for nonces, or a rather creepy old man.
You can keep it up all you like though, what you might not be aware of is that many of us on this forum talk outside of this forum too, which is how we also sussed out that @That Jekka Gal is a bloke pretending to be a woman, and sooner or later we'll piece together the truth about you too.
I genuinely hope for your sake that you're just a bit of a peculiar teenager or a fed. The other option will not end well for you here.
I didn't realise there was a right way or a wrong way to talk.Yes, we know you're not 17. Or 18

If you don't know what cis or trans mean I dunno what to tell you. Being cis means you're the gender you were assigned at birth. Still rude to misgender someone by using "he" or "him" pronouns even though I've said I'm a girl. I guess you think girls can't join computer sites?
The graphics card came with a computer I got for my birthday in 2019 when I was 12.
