The post that caused me to delete my account was when someone complained that the movie Aliens was genocidal and racist because they killed the actually genocidal parasites

    From time to time I see appearance shaming posts or posts that reinforce toxic masculinity that are supposed to be acceptable because the target is a bad person

    I don’t remember specific posts but the people throwing a fit over pronoun tags was incredibly frustrating because every argument was completely in bad faith. I remember someone trying to argue that it would “compromise opsec”, as if can’t just lie on the internet.

      i don’t love having to commit because my actual pronoun preference is “i wish language was different and nobody had to deal with any of this” but overall for how society is/has been for decades about gender and language they’re a huge w

    posts that were going pretty hard at posters in the mutual aid comm, counting their money for them in public and such, I think the person I have in mind got banned eventually but it took a while, also stories about someone abusing their donor status via dms

    Someone saying people who are opposed to trans healthcare don’t need to be re-educated, downplaying them as “social conservatives”. I guess I’m a liberal for thinking lifesaving healthcare is important. For wanting people to have access to care for medical conditions.

    When I post something positive or just to chat about something I enjoy and someone comes in to be negative about it for no reason. I post here to not be on the reddit thanks. If you have nothing nice to say simply do not speak

    Any post in the vegan comm in which a carnist barges in to start shit with us. Literally the inciting incident that made me first apply for a position as a moderator. Thankfully it’s gotten a lot less common now that the most belligerent carnists have either been banned from the comm or driven off the site for their other reactionary views.

      I feel like is always those types that complain about vegans pushing their views on others (it’s usually just the vegan existing in their own spaces/events)

      I feel that with most comments on the vegan comm to be honest, even if they’re not trying to start shit. I’m so tired of reading comments from people who clearly have no idea what veganism even is replying to posts on the vegan comm with terrible analysis or patronising “advice”.

      I was going to reply to a couple of them recently, but I felt I’d have to sugarcoat my comments so much to not offend them or hijack the OPs’ posts that I just deleted what I wrote and moved on.

    -telling me that the Silver Legion is no more, and will never return to defeat Hexbear once and for all
    -not adding a burning communist flag emoji to show that Hexbear is unbiased and supports free speech
    -telling everyone that we can’t use slurs like a bunch of removed removed fucking removed removed removed

    Around June 2021 we still had some stupidpol types who were anti-kink at pride and using it to compare queer people to paedophiles etc

    most got banned but I paid so much attention to someone I’m sure wass one of them ban evading. I was a really good ally.

    Someone on here once tried to argue that Neelix was not super creepy dating a 1 3/4 year old, no I don’t give a shit what the Ocampan life span is. If you can tell people how old your girlfriend is in months like an annoying new parent maybe that’s a red flag yo.

      humans take like a year to walk, there are other animals who do it after 3 minutes. why shouldn’t aliens be alien? the problem with neelix and kes isn’t the number seeming small to us, it’s that she was even young for her species, and neelix is some fucked up war veteran (allegedly) who is unc-coded.
