Yeah I saw. This shit has spiraled majorly, but a lot of their accusations are incredibly distorted versions of the truth, especially around the slurs. We remove slurs! I made an honest mistake, and immediately corrected it when called out, yet that has turned into accusations of ableism and transphobic behavior

Honestly, as an outsider, it seems like the majority of engagement from hexbear's side is extremely bad faith. Same vibes as twitter drama from couple years ago when twitter queers "cancelled" leftist and queer content creators and prominent figures for basically nothing. Like Contrapoints twitter drama. Or Lindsay Ellis twitter drama. Or second Contrapoints twitter drama, you get the point...

Literally.

You should have seen HB posters on /c/breadtube. It was exactly like that. After the last philosophytube post I just decamped to my Lemmy.world account.

I'm not on this instance but I have been paying attention to what's going on, and I feel like a lot of the drama is being amplified by bad-faith accounts that are not contextualizing accusations but instead using judgments like "ableism," "racism," and "defense of chasers." While in a certain lens those accusations are accurate, that lens is very distorted; it ignores all context and assumes bad faith from all participants, which I don't think is warranted.

I would guess a lot of the Hexbear users also have alts on this instance and are just amplifying the discord since that's sort of their raison d'être. I imagine it'll all blow over as they get bored and go back to Hexbear.

Have you met hexbear posters? That’s exactly how they work.

It’s like a bizarro upside down version of the late-gamergate “nachoshield” affair.

I’ve never heard of that and it sounds like I don’t want to!
