The most aggravating thing about these is that they keep implying hexbear is a straight site that made the decision to let us be here. When they make detached from reality insults like hexchan or israel it’s easy to say ‘lol, no’. But I hate that they’re also trying to smuggle in the idea that of course it’s the straight people that are in charge of this website. Probably without even realizing it.
Personally I prefer the ones where they just call us fake queers.
You wouldn’t believe some of the shit they’re making up about us on the lemmyverse now that we aren’t there to contradict it. According to several posts I’ve seen we’re literal nazis who throw up swastikas for fun and hate trans people. There’s been a telephone game of uncharitable interpretations and now a good percent of users have only heard about us this way and have lumped us in with 4channers such that they think we’re literal nazis.
I’ve tried to push back against some of it in the most gentle “civil” way and gotten banned for “subverting defederation” I guess I’m not allowed to have two accounts on the lemmyverse 🤷
On the bright side, it can create a sort of backwards marketing push where people who are morbidly curious come here and then don’t see any of that and are opened up to hearing our side of the story
I hope so, but there are posts on the MeanwhileOnGrad sub that are just entirely not what the content of the screenshot says, and it’s left as an exercise for the reader to stretch it to painful lengths to interpret it uncharitably, yet still get overwhelming support.
You might just find your own posts on there.
How do people expect to be taken seriously while blatantly lying about ban reasons when the mod log is public?
Oh look, it was not banned for saying gender-neutral pronouns exist.
It originally signed up with the above username and was mad about having to change names.
if i knew that i would have lobbied for more purging, that shit dont change overnight

This was/is the most predictable thing ever. They did not make a single good faith argument.
I disagree with that. I never saw what I understood as a bad faith argument. It bordered on some things that might sound like reactionary points but I think it was just a little confused, maybe had a hard time explaining things on account of being neurodivergent and perhaps didn’t fully understand them in the first place. You just had to get deeeeeeep in the weeds with it to try to figure out what the fuck it was talking about. There were a lot of claims that things are a certain way, and then that thing being referenced out of context later elsewhere and you had to refer back to the whole history of the user to figure out what was going on. Maybe it needed a user to ride along and translate for it lol
Edit: Since I was regrettably unclear below You can prefer any pronouns for any reason and that is valid. It is the responsibility of the speaker to make an effort to respect those pronouns
I sure did, I got banned for saying they/them is a non gendering pronoun. It’s right there in the modlog.
Pretending to be pro-LGBT+ to…huh? Why are libs this insane? They genuinely can’t comprehend that people to the left of them exist
Pretty irrelevant instance, they have virtually no posts if you change the filter to instance-only.
Maybe it’s 📽
c/traaa alone is comparable to the entire site and they think they can talk about “authenticity.”
I think !traa@hexbear.net is a better comparison, not even the real !traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns@hexbear.net
“More importantly they’re also jerks”
More importantly? Really? That’s more important to you than the alleged transphobia?
Lmao, this person again. The minute it started posting on Hexbear after getting banned on blahaj.zone, I knew we were dealing with some sort of wrecker/troll.
It hid a lot behind the fact that most Hexbears aren’t familiar with xenogenders
im relatively familiar with how they work, and dronerights definitely sounded suspicious as hell. most xenogenders are more like triggers from what i understand. like a rainy day might make you feel femme but a sunny day masc. a lot of it is kind of philosophical too. still def not very well versed in it, idk if we have any resident xenogender people that can better explain
