not sure if my vote is counted since I made the thread
Nay (for now)
I like messing with hexbear users, they have no idea how anything works, they can't downvote, they're easy to ban, and they are so damn fun to troll. Buuut they are also very annoying, so I can totally understand the yes.
I block them mostly. They are easy to troll though because they spend most of their time reposting the same memes in their echo chamber. It's like they're all people too young to experience /b/ in the 2000s.
Just mention something like "human rights" and see what happens.
The heyday of /b/ (with the caveat that /b/ was never good) was 16 years ago now.
If we assume Hexbear is made up of Gen Z who are in their early 20s, they would've been ~4 years old. Hell, even the oldest Gen Z would've been ~10. Not exactly the prime age for /b/.
My guess is that Hexbear is a mix of Gen Z who never experienced the peak days of 4chan (and thus never got the edginess out of their system), plus Gen Alpha who are young and stupid.
A lot of Hexbear has their heart in the right place. It's just their minds are fucking crazy. Like, you can't support fascism and genocide just because "America bad".
Yes, America bad.
Yes, America institutionally bad.
Yes, America not fixable for at least a decade (or longer).
But that doesn't mean it's time to blindly support China and Russia. Especially when both countries are blatantly anti-LGBTQ. China shut down an LGBTQ center amidst a larger crackdown on LGBT rights; Russia is... Russia.
Brilliantly said.
I think it's very telling of these individuals who rarely, or not at all, talk about modern-day Vietnam or Cuba, actual communist states. They don't care about communism.
Or mention something like Xinjiang.
I mean it's in their tags, maybe don't be a shit head
Like fuck their unironic shitposting and acting like they're making a positive change in the world but don't act like using the wrong pronouns is anything but being a dumbass
i always use the right pronouns
This is the kind of shit that makes us want to defed from y'all. This person would be banned for this shit on HB
lol why would that get banned? doesn't break no rules.
It's transphobic to imply that you're being precious by wanting your clearly listed pronouns respected
Oh, no, that's not what my comment is implying. I always use the correct pronouns! :)
No. It's implying that for a group of self-tooted "trolls", you guys are pretty damn fragile. not transphobic either, not everyone who uses pronouns are trans
What exactly is fragile about being angry when someone misgenders you when your gender is unambiguously listed, that's what you're supposed to do
Well, pronouns aren't gender. I can use he/him but be a cis or trans fem.
Hexbear users often call themselves trolls or act trollishly. If you really are going to be encouraging disrupting other instances, you gotta have a stronger back. Many users find a pig shitting itself quite offensive, but does Hexbear care? No. Same dealio.
Gee it really sounds like you have logicbroed misgendering out of existence how can I respond but just bowing in respect
Citation needed. Y'all call us trolls we are genuine people who actually care about things. Like transphobia.
Gender identity is really easy stuff, dude.
citation given
After reviewing the evidence it seems like we don't consider ourselves trolls, good to see we're on the same page
oh, worse! You consider yourself a vanguard of communism!
You said the one joke™
that's not the one joke lol
Close enough that you should be embarrassed. You try to punch left and you find yourself sounding like a chud. Funny how that works.
Punch left? Chud? What?
I'm not hip on your american slang.
And yet you're "hip" on the word "hip". Curious.
my brother in Hel the word hip was hip when my Grandma was born.
trans rights
Are human rights.

Do not understand the mental gymnastics it takes to crow about wanting to misgender trans people to trigger the tankies and then claim you're supportive of trans people
(Average cishet "ally")
Again, for like, the millionth time. You can have different pronouns but not be trans lmao
oh hey you're transphobic too! cool!
Pronouns aren't tied to sexuality
The Memmy app lets me block the instance itself but not the users. So I don’t see any of the spam from their communities in my feed but their comments still show up. Super easy to just ignore though. 🤷
And you call us the trolls lmao. Please just defederate already we lose nothing from not seeing your racist bullshit.
damn dude, replying to all my comments now. let's keep it chill and reduce it to just the one thread.
this guy seems exhausting and narcissistic
ironically enough, this was a large portion of the reason why we federated with you - fascists like you haven't read a book or essay since high school and so fucking easy to dunk on, so we wanted to have some fun with you. it's almost like shooting fish in a barrel, you make it too straightforward.
unfortunately the only line you can say is "buuuhhhh Xinjiang Xi Jinping genocide?!?!!" so there's no real constructive discussion happening anywhere here, we can write pages and pages of well-referenced prose in response and all we'll get is "
How's the weather in Beijing, Chinese bot?" so it's like, what are we even doing anymore.
but, despite that fact, I vote Nay, because dunking on you is extremely entertaining and a learning experience for everybody
You're literally the type of stereotype libs who call anyone they don't like racists. If somebody just doesn't believe one of your made up bullshit they're just a genocide denier
That's wild, since most of the accusations of "genocide denier" that I have seen lately are from you lot, and it is indeed over made up bullshit
Don't you dare call me a fucking liberal.
Liberal
As an actual liberal, I don't want to be associated with you
ommmgg no one caaaaares
