I jump to the defense of hexbear because, well … I like them.

They’re spicy.

I’ve seen some truly heinous, ignorant, repugnant shit on here but it’s never actually been from hexbear users.

(it’s been from lemmygrad users)

hexbear users have been outspoken and unapologetically staunch in defending their positions, but never outright bloodthirsty or antagonistic.

or at least, maybe my sarcasm detection is being more generous than it’s supposed to be, and registering false positives…? because to my view I’ve seen hexbears JOKE about some dark shit, but it never came across as unironically hostile to me.

but anyway, my opinion alone won’t sway the outcome. if the consensus forms firmly against hexbear, i’ll just have to roll with that outcome. But i’d miss 'em, I would.
