I think its signifies a debate pervert, but i could be wrong. While we're asking questions about emojis, what's the source for the ? I want to subject myself to psychic damage.
Lmao that is Alex Walker of Colorado. He's the Gay Democrat that was 'running' against Lauren Boebert in 2022 but only got like 9,000 votes in the Dem primary.
The emoji comes from this vid where he essentially tries to argue that "actually if you're voting for progressive candidates you're the reason why republicans keep winning - ITS not my fault my policies and opinions are basically republican-lite, you should vote for me because I am the gay democrat running against Lauren Boebert" - which people dogpiled on and it obviously didn't win him any votes: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1513618639840288774/pu/vid/576x1024/dPnCtaCdecu18ulF.mp4 (linking directly to the video on twitter because I don't wanna dig for it on his TikTok)
my fellow gay/bi men I am begging you to stop using that insufferable voice whenever you're criticizing something - it NEVER makes your argument stronger...
Subject of the best copypasta this site has ever seen:
You really think you’re something huh? Strutting up and down the site like a cartoon dictator. Your insolence and sanctimonious self-righteousness knows no bounds. You’re a real fucking genius, huh? Glory be to UlyssesT, the holy moral authority of Hexbear Dot Net. You’re almost like the Confucius of Hexbear - trite bullshit disguised as sage wisdom and mindlessly quoted and repeated by the rest of the braindead tailist flock. Your “morality” is nothing more than a Nazi kangaroo court, you fascist fuck. You think you’re a philosopher? You’re nothing more than a Confucian-Hitlerian manchild.
Sorry other Hexbears, but I agree. Repeatedly saw him hit users out the blue with some real bad faith interpretation shit, I had him blocked for most the time.
Same, dude would leap to the most negative interpretation of anything. Funny power poster but I have to imagine he was to the rest of the fediverse as bmf is to us, just completely unhinged posting nobody would understand unless they were ten layers deep in self-referential irony
I remember when he got called out for being hostile to tech workers, got in a big argument with mods, then backed down by saying exactly the same things about "bazingas" for the rest of his time here.
He was super vitriolic towards whoever caught his eye, and people just gave him a pass because it was aimed at reddit bros more often than at random hexbears.
God forbid you had undiagnosed autism or ADHD in school and were mistreated by educators, too -- he was always quick to chime in with a snide remark about "autodidacts" who had hangups because of "Mrs. Meanface," when it's like, yes you dense motherfucker, some of us did have a shitty time in the American public school system, because like it or not, capitalist entropy means some of the most horrible fucking people make it into teaching because they want to get paid to exert authority over children. I went through it as a kid, and I'm seeing it happen with my kid's current teacher right now.
His techbro takedowns were funny (if not repetitive), but he could be a complete asshole if you dared to have a rough time in the education system.
He came across as being nurtured and educated in the ways of the redditor in order to effectively insult and demean the ways of the redditor. As a result he could never fully shake the stank of the redditor and would sometimes unfairly aim his ire onto hexbear users.
A trilogy, actually. I have it. Only read the first couple chapters of the first book before inevitably getting distracted by something else, but I remember liking what I read. I'll probably get back to it once I clear my backlog.
