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.

    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

    Hexbear users often call themselves trolls

    Citation needed. Y'all call us trolls we are genuine people who actually care about things. Like transphobia.

    Close enough that you should be embarrassed. You try to punch left and you find yourself sounding like a chud. Funny how that works.
