I hated big emojis in the beginning of the Hexbear federation. Disgustingly big emojis filling up my pristine light-themed lemmygrad filled me with rage.

However, my feelings shifted after scrolling through each emoji for a whole week. I began noticing individual details and painstaking craftsmanship that went into their creation. The subtle coloring and contouring of angery, the classic trim of sicko-wistful's suit, the way that individual pores take on a hypnotic pattern in took-restraint, and so much more. I started to think of them not as just emojis, but a manifestation of Marx's metaphysical projection onto the hypermaterial world.

To paraphrase the hero of the Catalonian liberation himself, George Orwell, I have won the victory over myself. I love big emojis.

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand :hexbear-logo: emojis. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of 19th century leftist theory most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also :sicko-yes: 's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike giant Hexbear emojis truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in the existential kkkracker catchphrase :xi-plz: which itself is a cryptic reference to Kubrick's revolutionary socialist epic Dr. Strangelove. :strangelove: I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as :og-hex-bear: 's genius :PIGPOOPBALLS: unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. :michael-laugh:

    And yes, by the way, i DO have a :kelly: tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. :hentai-free: :volcel-judge: It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid :screm-cool:
