Propose topics
Create a debate topic with your own Pro and Con labels. Admins approve, then it goes live for everyone.
Live debates
Debate online. Real opponents. Real spectators.
Pick a side on topics like geopolitics, tech, philosophy, religion, and more. theChatStage matches you to a live opponent and broadcasts the debate to anonymous spectators in real time.
Structured debate. Civil by design.
Every topic has two sides with custom labels set by the topic creator. No brigading, no pile-ons — one-on-one, with the rest watching.
FIFO matchmaking
Pick Pro or Con. First opposing side to join is your opponent. No waiting in line forever.
Spectator mode
Anyone, even without an account, can watch live debates. Invite friends to watch you argue.
Debate topics people are actually arguing about
From AI regulation to nutrition fads, geopolitics to gaming — if it matters to you, someone's waiting to debate it.
Your reputation travels with you
After every debate, both sides rate each other on civility, thoughtfulness, open-mindedness, honesty. Reputable debaters attract better opponents. Trolls stop getting matched.
