    It’s been 0 days since hexbear has made Othello uncomfortable about race-related issues yea

    I really hate that this keeps happening and something needs to be done to address this. Sure, you’re still around, but I wonder how many black hexbears have left the site in the past because of similar issues. I hate how white hexbear is, not because of weird self-deprecating reasons but because imo it shows a clear failure of inclusivity.

    This is just a thought, feel free to tell me it’s a dumbass idea, but what if we had an emoji specifically for POC hexbears to use in race-related discussions, kind of as a way to say “my voice matters more in this matter than that of white folks”? Maybe this could help avoid some conflict and remind white hexbears to shut up and let people of color speak.
