there’s a lot of random funny hexbear lore out there, like rock stacking, but that’s not what I’m asking about. I’m more asking about the really huge stuff, like the transphobe purging or the r/vcj onboarding that apparently almost ended the site. has anyone done any good writeups on those? really hoping for one about the r/vcj onboarding but I’ll take any i can get my hands on

still never seen a reason for why hexbear of all things was chosen lol, it actually did come back to bite the site in the ass a little tiny bit because it shares a name with cryptocurrency so its dns banned in China

Pretty sure Hexbear always was the Chapochat Mascot. And yeah, it’s pretty funny theres a cyptocoin with this name. Once a youtuber came here, I think it was internet etiquette guy (Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik, I believe) and he basically joked saying that we were trying to sell him cypto.
