I thought I knew what to expect after having experienced a deluge of takes on platforms like Reddit and Twitter, and yet, I was taken totally aback by some of the unhinged ones I've seen on here since the federation. From bog standard accusations of being bots or paid shills for disagreeing with them, to flat out disgusting claims that queer people on Hexbear are not really queer because they're not liberals.
disgusting claims that queer people on Hexbear are not really queer because they're not liberals.
ShowThey are literally the bad guy from 5 years ago EVERY TIME.
Do you want your awfulness fresh: conservative party
Or recycled: every liberal party
Do you prefer the flavour of Conservative Classic, or the fresh new taste of Diet Conservative?
Reminder that despite this particular comic being cool, I assure you it’s accidental, the artist is a horrible monster of a piece of shit
Yeah I don't endorse the artist, just this comic. Much like some garrison work hits correctly but he's a dick.
I wasn’t calling you out or anything, just saving people the experience or looking for more of their work and being horrified o7
All these years of having sex with men just to fool liberals online and they immediately saw through my devilish ruse
I came to lemmy early in the reddit exodus, but too many god damn liberals came along and it's gradually getting worse. Hexbear has the only good anime community, so now I have to have another lemmy account
That's basically what !botart@lemmy.dbzer0.com is (I temporarily unblocked it in order to find the posts I'm talking aboutt), generated images from AI prompts of people they don't like kissing
CW: homophobia
The first post I saw from it, which made me block it, was
CW: extreme liberalism
I don't usually block communities, the only other community I've blocked so far is !memes@lemmy.ml
I legit got this one in reply to suggesting a bike for trips too short for trains this morning
The lib hexbear experience is taking a seat in a cafeteria with a bunch of people to say the worst possible thing imaginable and the whole cafeteria stops to hold you accountable.
Their blindness to the violence of their ideology is really something.
i believe this because i’m right because it’s how the world works
do you know how many Belgian Congo workers DIED to give me this scrumptious morsel? It would be a crime not to enjoy it

Hexbear's communication is like an artisanal dessert with a hard shell of irony/sarcasm coating that breaks to reveal a warm sincerity within, creating an interesting rhetorical flavor profile. The average internet liberal is an easy-bake salty and sour pudding that presents itself as a layer cake they saw on Food Network once.
I don’t like that you described hexbear the way Patrick Batman talks about business cards and Huey Lewis.
Edit: I stand by the typo
Had a moment of online culture shock when I recently saw people commenting on how gross eating ass is and assertions that all the talk about it is people being ironic and joking. Someone even had the gall to respond with “haha keep telling yourself that buddy” when someone said that people have been eating ass forever! Have you heard of the romans??
It’s so jarring to suddenly crash into a totally different culture like that. Like you ran into a caveman at the grocery store
In North Korea they don't have enough ass to eat for everyone, so they build asses out of mud
Thank you for the daily Yeonmi fact. I'd like to subscribe to the newsletter.
But say anything about western imperialism/genocides/oppression of minorities, and suddenly it's all whataboutism
Yeah that thread was wild I could feel the grease oozing from every comment that user made
Lemmy did the turn to shit any% speedrun to become a liberal shithole.
I really don't want to think about the timeline we don't get preemptively dropped from lemmy.world now.
I joined hexbear recently , but so far my time on lemmy/mastodon has been the terrible experience with internet liberals.
go to your settings and change the default post type to "Local", you won't see the bad lib posts anymore unless you want to
We’re glad you found your way here but everyone here is, in fact, a liberal, except for me, the one true leftist.
I just joined as well. I discovered Hexbear from this reaction I saw over on mastodon. I am very happy I did, was fast losing all my hope as that supposedly was the "leftist" corner of the internet. Coming from the big social -> mastodon pipeline I thought it was.
Its kinda weird that there are libs those like my posts over on mastodon , and then i see their posts criticizing hexbear ! Like ugh !!
I still don't believe in the existence of people actually calling humans "meatbags". What level of cringe roleplaying are these translucent nerds into?
I like calling it "fleshspace" when I'm interacting in person with someone I generally interact with online or over the phone, because I think it sounds funny, but I also like to think about the viscerality of meeting face to face. It's entirely different being a body than just a voice online, y'know? I could start bleeding or cough or arouse them.
I sometimes like to think in the ape terms but in an affirming and encouraging way. Like "hey, we have a polio vaccine, not bad for a buncha apes". Or "man, that didn't go well, but you know, we're all just apes trying our best, and we'll do better tomorrow."
i thought setting my default to "all" for a little bit might be nice, but holy fuck the libs are annoying. it's about as bad as the front page of reddit
if you block the memes@lemmy.ml comm, it's basically just hexbear posts with the occasional big thread from the libs.
