What's going on with hexbears - eviltoast

Seems people frequently talk about negative experiences of them then end up banned shortly after

Also seems like people are weirdly quick to jump to their defense for the internet

    I am downplaying nothing. I call it “culture” because it’s not about a substantive disagreement about politics or ideology. It’s about the way they engage with each other and the world around them. Their collective pattern of behavior. There is a word for that. It’s called culture. And it’s pretty fucking hard to break out of.

    I find your insistence to dig in here frankly a bit baffling.

      Calling them just “fighters” is downplaying. Calling that a simple “culture”, instead using the proper call out like I did, is downplaying.

      You telling me to engage and then baffled that I “dig” is making you look like them more and more.

      It is technically “culture”. It is far from being only that though, and you somehow chose the least incriminating word to describe them.

      That is baffling imo.
