    We're communists who are very hostile toward racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, and other such bigotry. The users of this instance are by and large racist homophobic ableist liberals so they hate us. It's not hard to understand.

      The issue is not that:

      We’re communists who are very hostile toward racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, and other such bigotry.

      The issue is that:

      We're very hostile

      Everything else doesn't really matter if you look at the feedback.

        Hahaha no way.

        So if I say "We hate bigots and fascists."

        You just read "We hate"?

          I read "We hate anyone who doesn't agree with us."

          Said out loud: "We hate bigots and fascists."
          Unsaid but implied in many interactions: "Anyone who doesn't agree with us is a bigot or a fascist."
          Combine: "We hate bigots and fascists, by which we mean anyone who doesn't agree with us."
          Simplify: "We hate anyone who doesn't agree with us."

              You used "we". Who is "we"? The rest of the discussion implies that "we" means "we Hexbear users".

              So here's a better question: how can a White, cisgender, cissexual man politically to the right of Bernie Sanders disagree with you without being a bigot or a fascist?

                Idk should look into that a bit more.

                Which views do you hold that are to the right of a center left liberal?

                You say that like Bernard is the ne plus ultra of genuine progressivism.

                Also did you mean to say heterosexual or did I finally encounter a "LGBTT" type in the wild?

        By and large, we are only hostile to those who are hostile to us first. Perhaps the onus is on you to stop spewing hyperreactionary sewage onto the internet that is easily disproven by even 10 minutes of research, rather than expecting us not to respond when you say that shit and then acting like "Oh, golly gee, golly me! I could not have foreseen that people would have been angry at me when I stated this godawful take!"

        Starting out conversations by calling us genocide-denying fascists who are only pretending to be LGBTQIA+ for plausible deniability is obviously going to get you fucking swarmed in return, don't act like you didn't do anything and you're just a poor little meow meow trying to have civil discussions

            I’m sorry, is this you?

            However, please keep this in mind - that being a Nazi sympathizer does not automatically invalidate one’s opinions on other topics.

            I would expect most people to be hostile to that opinion.

            hostile to people who hold different opinions than theirs.

            Which opinions?

              Quote from one of their posts about Hexbear. Their opinion seems to be that Nazi’s are OK. So I can see why Hexbear would have a problem with that.
