I’ve noticed some pretty interesting usernames on here. So I’d like to know, users of hexbear, why did you choose your username?

I’ll go first: I had been trying to create an account for the past month or so. I would put in the most stupid and childish names I could think of. This one finally stuck.

    I just used my last name. I'm pretty famous in leftist circles so I figured it would lend some authority to my posts.

    After the sub got banned I spent some weeks on a burner facebook account trolling evangelical q-pilled boomers on local news stories and Trump pages. One retired dipshit called me "a foot soldier for George Soros" when I baited him. I said I didn't like BLM, he got excited and asked me why and I said "because they haven't razed the suburbs" to which he called me that lol

      That sounds funny as hell, I’ve always liked your username. Sometimes when I’m hanging out with my buddies we joke about making a troll cryptocurrency called “Soros Bucks” to mess with people.

        It was pretty funny and I love how he lives rent free in their heads. Hey if you're going to make a crypto make sure you scam as many bougie investors as you can.

    I've had this username for forever.....Homestar Runner is my jam, and 440 hertz is the A that orchestras tune to. I was a music student at the time, so, there you go.

    I kept being told that my username was invalid and after like 10 attempts I laughed out loud

    Because this site needed somebody to keep the users from breaking their pledge

    To play COD3 online you needed a saved game file but I lost my memory cards so every time you wanted to play you'd have to create a new username which wouldn't save. At the time my younger brother was young enough he couldn't read/write so he'd always hammer in some random text/numbers until it filled the text field and he could hit X again to keep moving through the games menus. One time he hit in a random string of characters that started with jabrd and by happenstance we had a memory card in the system that day so I've just been using it ever since.

    Yes I have had my social media accounts found out by people I know irl because of this before, but just like the way I never erase my browsing history, anything you see is your fault not mine

      Pretty epic to no care what people will find on your socials. I’m always scared my grandma will somehow figure out the internet and find my shitposting accounts

        Pretty sure my mom saw my dick pic. I don't feel bad though because it was a pretty sweet dick pic :stalin-approval:
