There's definitely a toxicity issue with hexbear tankies. One of them linked me a video saying it was the "funniest sh*t they've ever seen". It was of a cartoon grandpa turning himself into a pickle. Just simple commentary about the lengths men will go to avoid self-criticism, even absurdly becoming a pickle which isn't scientifically possible. I have seen funnier things and more intelligent cartoons WITHOUT needing to resort to profanity to share them. Rhetorical violence is all they know.

HEXBEAR MENTIONED
When you live in a country with 70 million fascists but you're researching a tankie message board with ~1k active posters you have reached a novel and as yet unwitnessed lack of seriousness.
Yes, it's true. Except it wasn't like it was a proper study, more like a paper done by someone not taken very seriously by the academic community IIRC
Why you gotta shatter my dreams like that. I thought we finally made it.
Its still real to me, damn it
There’s a research paper linked above that’s different and seems more legit
Bearly. 
100 users? They must have deduped all my alts
It means we must post harder!
I didn't know we had a bestofhexbear comm, but I got to reread that story of the person who stole Code Geass yaoi from work again lol
Ahhhh, memories. Thank you, comrade
Welcome!
Y'all are posting the wrong one. It was Richard Rogers and here's his site: https://www.rogersperspectives.com/
He hasn't included Hexbear by name in the most recent "FRAMES OF MISINFORMATION, EXTREMISM, & CONSPIRACISM A Purposive Sample of Social-Media Channels, Discussion Forums, and Web Pages December 2023 Monthly Summary" but he DID get funding from the National Institute of Justice for the next 3 years of Frames reports so maybe we will get featured again.

May 2023 was the last one IIRC that we were mentioned in: https://web.archive.org/web/20230919015730/https://www.rogersperspectives.com/_files/ugd/86bb54_b3f617b3053443289aaee072161e470f.pdf
I regularly call for the death of officials and individuals as well as entire classes, yet I was not named in these papers, curious
