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

When we had downvotes and users got banned for downvoting trans comrades was funny.

Some guy on here his boss Dave found the site and we all clowned on Dave for the day.

No the funny one was the guy who insisted that he would downvote any pinned post regardless of topic and would continue doing so on principle even if he got banned for doing on transpositivity posts

That guy making a hundred alt accounts to whine about his god-given right to downvote stickied threads is probably the only reason I that I still remember being here for the downvote bans.

  • Minnesota Dan Livestream (The really weird early Gen X that was far-right and hated anything that came out after 1999) (Also know as the “Back in the day I used to go to 4chan dot php because every website was php. I knew 4chan blew in 2003! 2003! You hear me?!” guy) (AKA Painbow)

  • FEW drops and the Moomin vs. Homestuck posting

  • That time Yugopnik was here

  • Infrared Hexbear account

  • Giggle (TERF social media app that would force you to take pictures of your vagina to use it) vs. Hexbear. Sall Grover (the owner of the APP) promised to go live on Australian TV to talk about Hexbear but she didn’t.

It was always weird to me how people took classic BMF posting. Maybe I’m just too situationism-pilled, but I largely found myself understanding/agreeing with the points they were hitting. Very distinctive rhetorical style, but not at all the incoherent foaming implied in most off handed mentions of their corpus.

Yeah. I felt like BMF was esoteric and hard to parse but could after a re read (or ten, am adult baebee). I think there was like two or three that I didn’t want to be bothered with and or had no frame of reference and couldn’t understand

BMF would usually include at least one link and assume the reader engaged with the source. This filters a lot of people.

I think it all happened some months before you created your account back in 2021 lol. The guy wanted to debate some Hexbear user on twitch but then we all went there and begun spamming him with “Can’t Corner the Dorner” memes since this guy was like very anti-change and hated BLM.

There are still some posts here. She got really pissed at an user named Comradebongwater for whatever reason, and wanted to sue him. Even though pretty sure they were American and were protected by free speech lol. She deleted all the tweets about it.

CW: Suicide and Guns

People sent her a bunch of “Lol, Die Terf” memes from that Anime girl that is from that zombie anime. AKA and Grover from sesame street killing himself which got her really anger.

Then someone made a bit account pretending to be her here, at that time Hexbear dot net still was Chapochat and we used to hang around Cytube to watch Godzilla movies at 2:00 AM, and this bit account was like very cartoony and evil. Pretty funny tbh.

What was the main reasoning of the Chapo vs hexbear naming debacle? To get away from the pod or to not meme el Chapo and glorify drugs? I was lurking then but more focused on the funnis than paying attention to drama…

Does anyone have a link to the infared account getting clowned on? I can’t believe I missed that one

I believe it was called Infared, but it was deleted from the modlog a long time ago. I think this was a bit before he got popular and before Maga Communism. He would spend the day getting angry at people who smoked weed and spamming his yt channel and livestreams
