The most aggravating thing about these is that they keep implying hexbear is a straight site that made the decision to let us be here. When they make detached from reality insults like hexchan or israel it’s easy to say ‘lol, no’. But I hate that they’re also trying to smuggle in the idea that of course it’s the straight people that are in charge of this website. Probably without even realizing it.
Personally I prefer the ones where they just call us fake queers.
You wouldn’t believe some of the shit they’re making up about us on the lemmyverse now that we aren’t there to contradict it. According to several posts I’ve seen we’re literal nazis who throw up swastikas for fun and hate trans people. There’s been a telephone game of uncharitable interpretations and now a good percent of users have only heard about us this way and have lumped us in with 4channers such that they think we’re literal nazis.
I’ve tried to push back against some of it in the most gentle “civil” way and gotten banned for “subverting defederation” I guess I’m not allowed to have two accounts on the lemmyverse 🤷
