Hexbear
Lmao okay, sure bud
4chan has a massive trans community and aggressively racisms and bigotrees on sight. Its the other end of the horseshoe
Horshoe theory is horseshit, as even NATOpedia will tell you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory#Academic_studies_and_criticism
Ok that's not really relevant unless you consider the lgbt community on 4chan to not be extremely bigoted or you consider hexbear to be extremely bigoted.
do you consider hexbear to be extremely bigoted? if so, against who?
No I don't consider them bigoted hence why I put them on the Otherside of the spectrum
Reactionaries are a protected class.
Sounds like someone got bullied for having a bad take and now can't tell the difference between nazis and queers
If you enjoy dumb takes and edgy politics it's for you. I'm not surprised someone from ml is defending hexbear tbh.
Not to mention your defense is "you got bullied". Sounds like an awesome place, eh.
For what it's worth, I am a frequent lurker of hexbear and their users' newspaper archive is wonderful - every politician is full of it and they know it full well.
Willing to bet 'dumb takes' and 'edgy politics' exactly describe the correct moral position in the argument you got bullied over your bad takes. Care to elaborate or just gonna hide in the tall grass of hypotheticals and generalizations?
I never said I got bullied. That's you telling everyone your experience.
What similarities are there, other than the users being exceptionally ornery?
Funhouse mirror version but yeah it is pretty similar, never thought about that.
