did someone actually act like this on the site?

you are what you eat, dont let the devil inside you !

ive seen MULTIPLE videos of white people in TEARS crying about "im so happy to be alive... to talk to chinese people.. and know we were the same all along and we are all siblings" like ????

tell me im not the only who sees how weird this "wholesome" fad is.

the mild annoyance i get from seeing americans treating random chinese people on a social media app as if they were literal aliens from another world supersedes any transient satisfaction from seeing americans get "deprogrammed"

edit: i hope xhs gets banned in the US too. this whole spectacle has been embarrassing for so many reasons that i cant even fit in this post and some people i know already want most americans off the site. this "honeymoon period" isnt gonna last long. liberal chinese appease the feelings of white people and suddenly everyone in this site are talking like "no war but class war! american workers and chinese workers are the same! :)". no consistency or critical thinking at all. just memes and vibes

from what ive heard, americans are already sexually harrassing users on that chinese app (whose main local user base are mostly libs anyhow)

do people just forget that russia encompasses eurasia and has asian people? if their passport claims they are from the tuva republic, there is no reason to not believe it

nothing more annoying than a poc embracing being the "colored one" with their white "friends". have some damn self respect.

the problem is, its not just hexbear. on twitter you have "leftist" accounts joining hand to hand with right wing racists on attacking "identity politics". the way i like to think of it is that the white western left is similar to the israeli left. should i spend my emotional energy with the matters and discourses of the "israeli left"? id rather not.

i shouldve listened to my friend. hexbear people are white chauvinists and many of them dont even know it. why are there unironic "leftists" here complaining about "idpol".

"As someone who uses social media, I have found it to be a vital and efficient resource for reaching out to others and educating communities. However, the Internet is still largely governed by the same racist and sexist rules that structure the “real” world. One could even argue that the Internet gives white supremacy full access to black activists and their thoughts, which is perhaps one of the largest downsides of using the Internet to engage in racial justice work."

"it's becoming increasingly obvious that social media is beginning to carry out the legacy of the American dream in insidious ways that both distract us through, and perpetuate the seductions of, white supremacist capitalism."
