Being shitty to bigots is also Necessary

So, we don't have downvotes and haven't for years. If I want to disagree with you, I have to respond, and I disagree with you. I'm not intending you harm by my reply, but, we're on a forum, what am I to do but post?

No moreso than liberals are flooding it with liberal apologia. Also the vast majority of us aren't pro russia, we're anti NATO and Anti the war in Ukraine. Russia is fucked

It may hearten you to know that internally we are having this discussion as well and I think it's likely to get much less frequent. This time next year you'll know if you see that image that a nazi is getting dunked on by your friendly neighborhood hexbear

Hiya! So, we do get pretty intense sometimes, but it comes from a good place and we love having extensive discussions about stuff, answering questions about our beliefs, why we believe them, etc. We'll be happy to talk about it until after the heat death of the universe in fact. We do not tolerate bigotry of any kind and when we encounter it we do not hold back, so yeah, the intensity is warranted and necessary. We're also good at smelling when someone is bullshitting us, because we've had to deal with people trying to fuck with us for 3 years. If you're being earnest and you say as much and ask questions, you'll get good faith interactions. Interesting and educational ones too, I'll wager

We're polite when met with good faith, next time you see hexbears ask them a question about their beliefs or whatever is going on, a clarification, a tangent, whatever. Just ask a real question (not a bullshit weighted question designed to be a landmine) like "could you tell me more about X? I don't agree, but I haven't heard about that before" and you'll get polite and friendly responses (usually lol)

And yeah we get pretty rowdy and antagonistic at times like when we tell people to fuck off for throwing a fit about pronouns (which we did, then we banned them, then we made pronouns on Hexbear mandatory lol). That's how you protect your community from reactionaries, racists, and bigots

I want to know how to say that too please

I specifically didn't diagnose them or say that, their behavior and assumptions seem deranged to others and I wanted to get that across, not imply they are mentally ill

I appreciate your concern, but can assure you I'm mentally healthy

you totally might be, but the bare fact that you had to say this to someone today should probably prompt you to reflect a bit about all this friend

Yo for real tho what are you talkin about? Is this russian meme?

Riiiight, you're going to build a thing that presumably goes mach 10 which can shoot other things moving at mach 10

Biden is slowly just morphing into Reagan

Call it Star Wars Joe!

Yeah, no, they know, whats why they like him

Do you think its some sort of fluke so many fash adjacent politicians are popping up more and more?

Write one right now about this thread as proof
