OOoooooohhhhh noooooooo everyone on Hexbear is getting flashbacks to the BRICS anime waifu struggle session again

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I missed this one while I was taking an extended grasstouching break lmao

On a scale from Bunny Cop to Outdoor Cats, this was a solid Rock-Stacking out of ten

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh my god the rock standing...

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

All the hilariously bad takes got deleted. The other problem is that most of it was super irony poisoned riffing on the joke so it's scattered all over the place, if you make an account on hexbear and search 'BRICS', besides news articles you'll see a whole bunch of pictures of ~~anime girls~~ 5 people/objects/abstract shapes standing next to each other

Original thread

The Struggle Session

Our Irony-poisoned ~~Riffing~~ Self-Crit Session

My favorite part was "how could Russia be blonde and blue-eyed, that's white supremacist!" lol

One thing that federation has been good for is in reminding us that there are people with much worse takes than each other.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

This is true lol

I knew I should have joined Hexbear instead

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks to federation, now you don't have to comrade!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think I am particularly bad with computers but to try browsing through federated instances from Lemmygrad makes me feel like a very old man with cataracts and lumbago. I know I can post in Hexbear but browsing the instance from Lemmygrad already eludes me.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

you just append @hexbear.net to the comm name. like hexbear.net/c/[email protected]. the search will also turn up stuff from hexbear if you set it to All.

When I first saw that our employer and dear leader, President Xi Jinping of China, had found the post where we were engaged in vigorous debate over whether or not a group of anime girls were, "too sexy," I was a little bit worried he was going to reprimand us for getting sidetracked from our assigned mission of destroying the West.

Instead, he offered some really insightful and nuanced commentary on the matter that completely reframed how I saw the issue, and made me realize just how important that question is to the establishment of global communism.

I work for a pharma company that contracts manufacturing for other companies and some of our clients get in a tizzy when one of our supplies says they are opening a new facility in a BRICS country. Some straight up say they refuse to use material from them. All I can think is "well good luck getting materials for your products then." lol. They act like it's a quality thing and knowing how western regulations are I'm pretty sure BRICS has stronger regulations at this point.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think at this point is basically impossible. If I recall correctly most planes use some metal that is mostly produced in Brazil and then they also produce a lot of the world's livestock feed.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They will just pay more to buy it from a third country that just repacks the goods from the BRICS

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but that means that they can never do some genocidal bloqueo like they did to Cuba by also blocking anything that relies on those materials. And considering Cuba seems to want to join, that's a very good sign.

Isn't this format based off of a racist porn "meme"? Why use it?

To be clear I'm not talking about the characters themselves, they're cool, I'm talking about the format/set up. Surely there's a better way to illustrate the point.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

It is based off of that meme. While I don't think the racism transfers to this version, the implied sexual violence is still there.
