If so, was it polled somewhere?

Right, just like how the Nazis were really socialists because they had "socialist" in the name.

Your actions speak much louder than your words, and from what I've seen, you all love to spout facist and authoritarian ideals. Funny how you all bust out the concern trolling about minority groups and bigotry when called out on your actions, yet never defend these ideals in organic conversations where the topics actually come up.

we have been on this site for three years before federation with the same strict anti-bigotry culture since the beginning. I wish you guys could realize how fucking wild conspiracies like this sound like to us. Like we were only pretending to be gay marxists to ourselves for three years lmao

did you not see the thread on active most of yesterday where we were en masse screaming at liberals for their conditional support for trans people puzzled

out of all things to say about us that is certainly one of them, given that we've mass purged our own userbase multiple times over these issues leslie-shining

We're 4chan trolls who have been running a running joke where we refuse to tolerate racism, misogyny, transphobia. We did it all in isolation for 3 years, so we could show up here, requiring lots of actual development work to re-merge and federate, as a bit.

This is what liberals need to believe to continue daily life free of mental interruptions.

And it would be so much easier to not give a shit about any of that. You really don't get anything for standing up for the powerless (aside from the fact that our trans posters are among the most powerful ever known).

The whole thing about that was that the Nazis didn't do anything socialist, and in fact the term privatization was invested to describe their economic policies. Hexbear acts against LGBT hate, racism, ableism, etc., so this argument is a non-starter.

::: spoiler Because we definitely don't have multiple different queer communities with >3 years of posts in them and a weekly queer specific megathread every week for 3 years and we definitely didn't recently onboard r/traaa too and we definitely don't have a modteam that is over 50% trans and enby,

We also definitely don't have a site wide culture of mocking and bullying transphobes internally and we definitely didn't have a trans admin bully all the power posters into reading Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink and Blue 3 years ago in the site's early days

Fascism is a vibe, and the vibe is "something CmdrShepard disagrees with"

It's literally the only place on the internet that I, as a Trans woman, feel completely safe. The ONLY people who I know 100% will go to bat for me even when it is inconvenient.

You're a fucking moron.
