mocking and quoting bigots I've seen so far
:liberalism: turns to “you know it’s hexbear when the tankie pronoun parade shows up to force pictures of pigshit in front of you!”* real quick
[*this is paraphrased, I can’t remember the exact original quote]
Or “so suddenly I’m Hitler because i think people calling themselves Fae gender is dumb”
Or “why should i need to learn a new set of different pronouns for every person I meet?” (this followed two comments after “I’m literally not a transphobe, I work with plenty of trans colleagues who feel safe around me” (average lib being scratched in real time by having to acknowledge neopronouns))
.
All of these shitheads claimed to be allies when they started interacting but our brilliant pronoun tags immediately made them out themselves as the bigots they are who only pretend to be allies because it looks bad to be openly and proudly transphobic
TL;DR:
The trap has been laid

Hey everyone we should de-federate from hexbear! They’re still using this terminology!
GOTCHA
so you’re telling me hexbear is more radically inclusive of trans people than the instance who’s whole raison de etre is trans people? unironic
In fairness to blahaj it got deleted after about an hour but idk if the user is banned or not
Edit: I checked, they’re not. blahaj mods need to crack down way harder on bigotry like that imo
