there's a lot of random funny hexbear lore out there, like rock stacking, but that's not what I'm asking about. I'm more asking about the really huge stuff, like the transphobe purging or the r/vcj onboarding that apparently almost ended the site. has anyone done any good writeups on those? really hoping for one about the r/vcj onboarding but I'll take any i can get my hands on

    Surprised no one has mentioned two Hexbear legends:

    • BMF: He is everything I want to be when I grow up (nonsectarian tho)

    • The Fred Flinstone freakout over lattes or something.

      After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.

      (I am kind of joking, but I do feel like the sectarianism was kind of inherent to bmf-posting)
