Some dweeb on Reddit under the handle "StrappingYoungVlad" has created three different subreddits devoted to hating on Hexbear for being "tankies."
In addition to ShitHexbearSays he's also got HexbearWatch and HexbearCirclejerk, although he seems to have only bothered posting to SHBS, and nobody else hates us enough to post on any of these subs.
He HAS been censoring our names in his screenshots where he cries about our incivility toward the queen or whatever, since he's a lib.
EDIT: 2 members 26 online, I think we're the majority of his readerbase
EDIT2: peaked at 52 online lol, also whoever Powder Blue Stanza is, rad username
Report it here lol, not sure if that link still works (you need a reddit account to report it).
I recommend the circlejerk one, that seems funny to take over
lmao censoring the names is just :chefs-kiss:
Half of me feels like this is an elaborate bit.
Half of me feels like this is an elaborate bit.
Same
I don't think anyone cares that much about us, and he posts these weird rants in fucking r/196, r/politics and r/neoliberal lol
Okay so this post where he's mad that we celebrated Colin Powell's death made me think, yes probably a bit, but his comment history feels like that of a sincere left anti-communist so idk.
I remember a weirdo in reddit that would post things calling Hexbear a stalinist whatever website. That guy was clearly a bit.
Colin Powell died.
You're telling me this now for the first time
first comment was in an anti-v**sh megathread which got deleted
posts in 196 and dankleft
posts in neoliberal
ran to warn neoliberal when we had a screenshot of their shit eviction takesI regret to inform you that this might not be a bit :scared:
lmao censoring the names is just
Enoughcommiespam got threatened with a ban for not doing this even with external sites. It makes me think it's connected to some people that have been told off for it before.
You're not allowed to hold people accountable on Reddit. That is called brigading and harassment.
:wojak-nooo: You're not allowed to participate in more than one subreddit at a time! What do you think this is, some sort of content aggregator?!?
What's his end goal here, to get the reddit admins to take down hexbear? To raise awareness that there are online communities with opinions that don't align with his algorithm curated filter bubble?
To get permabanned from creating new communities by the Reddit algorithm that detects concentrations of leftists and especially past /r/chapotraphouse posters
This has to be the same loser that made some unhinge rant against us on the trueanon sub. Apparently a lot of people on that sub don't particularly like this site but even they had to call this guy out on being obsessed.
If anything the people I've seen on the TrueAnon sub complaining about this site complain that we actually care about making trans comrades feel comfortable with things like pronoun tags and banning transphobes. Very sus behavior, weird too since that sub is mostly pretty positive about trans issues but Heaven forbid you care too much!
I don't think I've ever seen them mention hexbear, but honestly that tracks, they have a bit of an irony poisoned edgelord thing going on sometimes
In fairness what I know is only because I searched for it some time ago, if I hadn't gone out of my way there would be no problem.
there's occasionally too much stupidpol in r/trueanon, which then will get pushed back against in the following days. rinse and repeat each week or so.
they're also starting to worry and/or accept that they are basically in the phase of becoming new chapo and will be banned soon
KiwiFarms was a massive website dedicated to bullying people for no reason whatsoever. It got taken down after plotting a legit terror attack and everyone is STILL in mourning over the site to the point where it's the right's most recent martyr.
Hexbear is a site that encourages mean-spirited people to stop being so mean to others, and we are internet public enemy number one.
just went and upvoted all those excellent takes he so thoughtfully screenshotted :im-doing-my-part:
maybe? i think my upvote still doesnt actually work after upvoting too many guillotine memes on cth back in the day but who knows
I was just poking fun at this person essentially screeching into the void about the evil tankies to half a dozen people.
They would literally have infinitely more success posting us to tankiejerk or something.
I was drinkin a gallon of milk in an uber when a bunch of hexbear tankies pulled me out and started screamin "you cant do that its reactionary". Of course I start cryin but that doesnt stop them no sir. They just start slappin my belly and sayin I should do the milk boy dance. I todl them it would make me wet myself cause I had too much milk but they kept screamin "MAKE THE MILK BOY WET HIS PANTS. MAKE HIM DO THE MILK BOY DANCE" until I started spinnin and spinnin. The wetter I got, the louder they screamed.
See this is why I keep coming back to this site. A long day of work and I get to see the Milk Boy Dance and bust up laughing. Thank you for your service :07:
Update: I googled the phrase "make the milk boy wet his pants make him do the milk boy dance" and the first link was a porn link :data-laughing:
Is this a reference to something or just a perfect impression of an ITYSL sketch?
It's a rough take on the cars 2 beans copypasta but more geared towars the confrontation than the initial food.
That StrappingYoungVlad guy has come up before and I'm struggling to remember where from or why, but this is not the first time I've crawled through his reddit account
E) lol

Yes why?
:fry: squints at one page of that user's :reddit-logo: history
/r/neoliberal OF FUCKING COURSE
/r/IronFrontUSA (wtf is this? I better call Comrade Amogus just in case :sus-soviet: )
/r/dankleft (judging by this user, probably could be called /r/wreckers )
r/IronFrontUSA is a subreddit for liberals that want to pretend they're doing something about American fascism. Mostly they upvote politico articles.
Lmao, oh Vlad. I remember them, they're that poster with an obsession with Based Ball. They come back & post screeds & unhinged accusations every few months.
Glad to see they're still doing well i guess. Everyone needs a hobby.
Bardfinn removed something that makes le ebil red fash tankies look bad?
I'm dead, aren't I? This is all fake
