    The hive thing was originally popularized by “bey-hive” for Beyonce I believe. Then some Kamala supporters used “k-hive” and then they did “b-hive” for Biden. Really it wasn’t even Beyonce fans that did it first, they just did it the loudest

      “Bey-hive” only cropped up as a fan demonym in response to Nicki Minaj’s “Barbz”; who are still the most unhinged mfs on the internet. Even I’ve got nothing when I’m up against a Barb.

      I don’t understand why people would want to give themselves a name that alludes to being part of to a borg-like hivemind of insects that live solely to serve their ‘royalbred’ betters; but then again I’ve never been one to identify with ‘fandoms’ in general.
