I'm sure I can find the answers to these questions in google individually, but other people in the fediverse might benefit from having these questions answered as well.

Why is Trump a "Wet Boy"?

Why is a defecating pig a "PBB"?

Why do you, a chapotraphouse discussion forum, only discuss something called "citations needed" instead of the chapo podcast?

How is El Chapo's trap house in any way related to leftism?

Why are your emojis so big?

What's the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?

To widen the topic of the post, feel free to post any other questions regarding Hexbear as well.

Yeah, I heard that you guys had a big TERF purge a while ago. Them and monarcho-socialists were there more as a gauge of how far does left go since it's defined differently for each group. Well, since a lot of hexbearers have anime PFPs, some of you guys could be part of the latter group since the Japanese Communist Party tolerates the emperor currently.

there was a period where soft transphobia was tolerated. the hard stance followed many struggle sessions. cf the great pronoun wars.
