(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

      Unfortunately, we drove off a lot of PoC users before we could have a proper reckoning on that. I think most of us would acknowledge that the site skews extremely white and western and is a shittier experience for some people as a result. That doesn’t mean a few folks won’t lose their shit at the mention of the topic, though.

        Not being immediately treated like an uncivilized savage who doesn't know what he's talking about if I reveal i'm PoC puts Hexbear above 95% of forums i've visited. Folks might think it's veiled with it being text over the internet but you can very quickly tell someone's demeanor change to talking down to you which rarely happens on here tbh.

        I was taught by my woke public school CRT education to be properly ashamed of my whiteness.

        Can I have more context about driving off the PoC? I'm new to Chapo chat

        Also, this is a very low bar but this place feels significantly less white than r/trueanon

            I went to the trueanon live show. I am white. I am a fan. But I have never been to a place that has more white people in it. I was uncomfortable, actually.

      the latter part where they have a struggle session over it we might be, but yah, a website descended from an english language reddit-logo sub will likely have that.

      I'm a kkkrakkker myself, but I come to places like Lemmygrad and Hexbear to get away from being surrounded by kkkrakkkers at all times in meatspace.
