Is it "comrad" or "comrayd"?
Which is it? Which do you use? Are there different associations between them?
I've always said it "comrad," but when I started to meet people in orgs, they predominantly say "comrayd" (within the same country).
The former. The latter sounds way too Alphinaud Leveilleur and my years of being that much of a twink are behind me
frauddog, are you too a XIV?! There's so many of us here!!
I've stolen a pair of pants or two in my time, yes.
My impression is that com-rad is associated with the USA and com-raid is associated with Britain and Ireland. I'm not sure what the situation is for other English-speaking countries, but if I were to hazard a guess, one pronunciation over the other might be associated with the relative prestige or influence of British and American English for that person, for instance if you learned the word through American media you might pronounce it in an American way. I'm not an expert, though.
I personally say com-rad.
We're firmly in com-raid territory in australia, also I've had people pick fights with me after i casually called them comrade, that was a trip

Do you think the slang comes from the homoerotic USSR-PRC propaganda?

I use com-rad.
none of the antecedent words contain an 'ayd' sound, i am forced to conclude this is some ridiculous RP british problem, and everyone else is doing it normal
How do you pronounce camaraderie? I’ve never heard anyone say com-ray-dar-e” so I usually go with “com-rad”
Just stick with /tʰʊŋ³⁵ ʈ͡ʂʐ̩⁵¹/ honestly. If you accidentally use it on an anti-communist you can just say you thought they were a fellow member of the LGBT community.

Either, largely depending on accent.

I seldom say comrade since I'm usually in public settings and have to generally avoid drawing attention.
