(can't post link currently as their site is down again lol)

Not only did they not differentiate gender between cis and trans, it also came out that they're like 80% white and they instantly got into a struggle session because the admin said that number was "unfortunate" can't make this shit up lmao

    It's really obvious because whenever race comes up, Hexbear acts so fucking weird about it. It's also why I haven't left Twitter even under the Musk regime. On Twitter, you can at least see people's faces and curate a TL where no one there is white, but everywhere else on the Anglophonic Internet, including here, will be super majority white on top of many alleged nonwhite accounts being some white person behind it a la /r/asablackman. White people fake being Indigenous to the point where actual Indigenous people have to coin a term for it called pretendian and they do the same for other ethnic groups, especially for Black people as a form of digital blackface.

    The only solution to the mayo problem is to either use social media where self-doxxing your face is completely normalized like Twitter or learn another language that white people don't really speak (Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Vietnamese) and use social media of that language.

      A lot of US latinos are pretendians too. Ask them to list a tribe and you'll get a vague "Aztec" or "Mayan." Maybe Nahual for the more educated ones.

      This site does have a pretty strong white slant, but the anglosphere internet as an entirety does. There's been an uptick in Indian, African, and Caribbean voices; but it still gets drowned out by majority white voices. I personally go back and forth between here and Spanish social media pages, but it's not like the issue doesn't exist in Spanish spaces either. You'll still get plenty of white Latin Americans and Euros whining about stupid shit.

      English internet is good for one thing: to practice English language.

      Fuck whites.
