A workshop for the memes of production.

Submit new emoji here.

A good submission is:

Visually clear at a small size (120 pixel width) [This does not mean upload the small image, this means upload the source image or full size cutout but test prior.]
Have a transparent background to the greatest degree possible. This online tool can remove many backgrounds.
Display a clear emotion or purpose
If including text, should be properly sized to be readable
"Evergreen" and not something that will be irrelevant after the next news cycle
Formatted in PNG, GIF, or SVG to make our file optimization cycles easier. If svg initially, send svg in a seperately hosted link to WhyEssEff. Same with gif, as we render them as mp4 IIRC.
Have proposed title as the title of the post, nothing more, nothing less.
Post body should include a suggested category and keywords.
Max height of 3 times the width.

Rules:

No reactionary or reactionary-adjacent expressions. The purpose of an image is what it expresses. Some clear examples for this rule:
- Allowed: Broken fasces, burning stars-and-bars, rotated Mussolini
- Disallowed: Body-shaming, Pepes, gay-shaming the enemy (e.g. those pictures of Putin and Trump that libs love to post), certain hateful wojaks (even if recontextualized)
- If you think you have touched on a grey area, see rule 7 for how to litigate this.
~~Nothing Vaush-related is allowed~~
- To be honest, I broke this rule, so it's pretty much moot. Just run it by me first in DMs or matrix. Vaush is a bit of a dead horse, so to speak, so they're still generally discouraged. The qualification for a viable emote referencing his existence is more a matter of execution -- @WhyEssEff
No desecration of religious imagery.
- This rule does not extend to the subordinate representations of religious symbolism present within the flags and/or iconography of nations, political parties, or militant groups.
Nothing sexually explicit or overtly horny is allowed
- :hentai-free:
No sectarianism in submissions. Pro-tendency content is fine, but we will not accept content degrading specific tendencies.
No gore, no SA, no sui-bait. Nothing that could reasonably trigger a comrade.
If you think you're touching on a grey area with a submission, message @whyesseff:matrix.org to clear it before you post.
- DISCLAIMER: Clearing does not necessarily mean that I'll add it, just that it's alright to submit and the rules will not be the barrier to its addition -- @WhyEssEff
No content that breaks the Hexbear Code Of Conduct.

Emoji are added to the codebase periodically. Emoji may or may not be accepted and the dev team has final decision.

All images submitted must be ones you have the right to share with the project. By posting images in this comm, you are agreeing that you have permission to share this image with the project.

Hexbear Code Of Conduct, ToS, Privacy Policy, etc all still apply.

[DISCUSSION] :israel-cool: Referendum (hexbear.net)

Hey all. I'd like to open an official discussion regarding the upturning of the prior Hexbear party line on an :israel-cool: emote proper with the unambiguous Zionist flag.

I want to preface this by saying this is not in a 'ceding the issue' way. Over the past year I've been trying to engage in self-crit w/rt the chauvinism I've internalized growing up in a Liberal Zionist household, and my personal viewpoint on it did a 180 some months back, so I want to reopen this discussion proper in my personal capacities as Self-Appointed Emote Czar.

The reason it's taken long enough beyond that is prior to July, I was essentially half-engaged with the site in order to finish out my degree. After that, it’s been mostly inertia of confirming with the admins and other /c/Judaism mods, as well as having to be rigorous about my job search personally giving me little free time to coordinate this.

I do not want to center myself in this conversation more than I inadvertently already have, so I will leave my own opinion on the issue as a comment rather than explaining further here.

The consensus we've roughly come to is to open up the discussion in an official manner for a day or so. After that, I'll weigh the discussion in an entirely vibes-based manner (sorry Dean Norris enjoyers) and we'll alter Hexbear party line on it accordingly.

Z_Poster adds a lot to the discourse of the site IMO and I've found myself siding with their takes more often than not in a controversy, I was bummed when I saw they were banned and why. Using the reason of ban evasion alts seems to me like a smokescreen because what were they banned for in the first place? I haven't seen any bigotry from them but maybe I don't really spend as much time on the site as I thought. Maybe they're abrasive and they should chill out but I can't really blame them considering how they're being treated. The crackerdom is palpable tbh, this is a chance to reverse that.

EDIT: Also they said they're Arab and the other users circling around them I'm pretty sure are white, and the context here is the Israeli genocide on Palestine. Come on now.
