Soon Hexbear will replace tankie as the go-to insult

People always say to me, they always say: 'Ms. TomboyShulk, aren't you a little harsh with these pre-emptive purges?' Folks, as you can–and you can see it quite clearly–quite clearly see with this rambunctious little imp, I'm just as harsh as I need to be; could stand to be a bit harsher, frankly.

On the one hand I no longer see any value in engaging with people like this and think we should defederate outright. On the other hand I see posts like this and realize we are this close to mentally breaking them and the completionist in me wants to see it through.

It’s an affectionate nickname for Hexbear. You might know that they behave like a bunch of 4channers

Ah yes. Hexbear, which automatically filters slurs, is just the same as 4chan, where the n-word is about as common as the word "the"

pretending to not understand

Socrates, famously a real toxic asshole who spent most of his time pretending to not understand

An Hexbear 🧐

I'm the specter haunting the lemmyverse and frankly I'm getting tired of haunting this shit I want to go haunt something cool like a bank or Europe.

Thanks for all the free advertising.

Wish i lived as rent free as hexbear

The "(statement), no?" format is approaching "it's almost as if" levels of smug pompous Redditese and I hate it.

your an hexbear, sir

Have any of these people who hate this website so bad been posting screenshots where hexbear users are actually "distorting" or whatever they said? Are their instances full of screenshots from the mega where someone says the kulaks deserved it or something?

I'm asking because it seems like it's all just vibes

Telling my wife she's being really hexbear over telling me to take out the trash.

"an hexbear"

I take credit for this one cuz repeatedly calling the guy with the Anarchist raccoon pfp a tankie was backfiring.

I mean, it's really mean of us to make fun of people who support death and suffering

After all, aren't we making them suffer when we call them doo-doo heads and pee-pee pants?

Feigning to not understand, or distorting a point is something that Hexbear users love to do.

Asking me to explain my beliefs? Must be an evil tankie from website I don't like.

OI E'S AN HEXBEAR E IS GUVNAH, YOU 'AVIN A TURKISH?????

Those nerds are really calling us 6chan of all insults?

hexbear dot net was the first internet site to be antagonistic or rude

John Carpenter presents a "short" film of the Hexbear federation process

Don't be an Hexbear

Really does not roll off the tongue. They're going to need something pithier.

Imagine going up to an 85 year old man and telling him not to trust the hexbears

Roll in the hexbears.

Ayy Goat@sh.itjust.works. I know you're reading this because you are obsessed with Hexbear.

When you post this to meanwhileongrad with some caption about how big meanies we are, can you get this comment in the screenshot?

new levels of terminally online previously thought impossible

maybe this post is a sign that I need to

48 days left until a sitting congress person calls someone a Hexbear live on TV

I fucking hope so lmao, would be good for us.

my point got distorted

that's actually pretty good publicity

'Feigning' to not understand? Nah brah we're just actually stupid and don't care about tedious debate, it's the commie bimbo website

An hexbear

Not sure what you are trying to say here. Maybe you can try to be less antagonistic in the future?

Where does "hexbear" originate from anyway?

Super confused by this. What is hexbear?

It's so funny how they keep having to make shit up about us because we don't actually do anything bad.

Hey @goat@sh.itjust.works keep it up, libs, you're only helping us. Go on, keep telling people we worship modern Russia even though we clearly don't. It makes you look so good and trustworthy.

The Diary of Ann Hexbear has long been considered a canon of posting lore

This is reminding me of the old sub at its peak. All of Reddit did this with the Chapo subreddit to the point that it replaced srs as the Reddit boogeyman. Deprogram and Trueanon are sort of there but nowhere near the level of infamy cth had.

You hexbears need to post more there, dronies are forgetting the feel of PPB by now.

Playing stupid when you naio them down on a point is their favorite thing to do, this is
