The few conversations I've had there have been unproductive and inflammatory. While even in other instances when I've said something someone disagreed with they would at least support their statement. Also no one would tell me why the "Confused Unga Bunga" meme is racist but they keep accusing me of it. I'm all for open discussions but even the comments there are so angry and toxic.

Edit: I'm reading every comment and taking everything people said and considering all sides. My stance on the phrase has changed but I am still hesitant about giving hexbear a chance. I'll sleep on it though.

      You're right and I understand that now but maybe because I compartmentalized it differently in my head as different from "ooga booga" which is highly racist. Thanks for actually explaining it to me. Language is weird.

              I thought I was in a hexbear thread but I kept getting buzzwords thrown at me. It's awfully jarring and did not help with me understanding the situation. I know it's not an excuse but sometimes my autism makes it hard for me to see the proper path through the conversation.
