I feel like a lot of them are coddled and had very sheltered upbringings. Getting mocked on hexbear is the first feeling of conflict in their whole lives. Remember that one guy who made a screenshot album of evertime someone on hexbear was rude to him? And it was like a hundred twenty images? They’ve never encountered backlash or a moment of discomfort in their entire lives so when they encounter us saying something as simple as “shut up cracker” it’s like a knife to their gut
Yeah this is the one. It’s still one of the most baffling things I’ve ever seen on the internet. I still think about this often. It’s the most mad I’ve ever seen a person get. Extreme nerd hall monitor energy. Getting so mad you curate a huge screenshot album of yourself getting owned, with citations and links for posterity
A lot of what this person reported as harassment or hate speech is just civil disagreements on if Taiwan is part of China. Like this person is so used to hearing specific things about China that any disagreement registers as hate speech horrifying terrorism, even if it’s just a posts on forums where no one is being threatened. My favorite part is how several of the screenshots are just hexbears posting emojis lol
I kind of wish for a life that privileged, but then also, it seems to turn you into a very unpleasant sort of person, so it’s probably better that people can actually develop conflict resolution skills.
I whined about cracker being a slur and those mean ol Hexbears just called me a cracker more instead of debating me
lmao it’s that weirdo
why does everybody who gets banned here feel the need to make an account on another instance to whine about it lol
