    Loving horror stories from the west the same way people here seem to love CHINA BAD stories? I visited hexbear a while back and maybe I just happened to miss all that sort of content, but I mostly just saw things like saying trans people have rights and that war is bad. Perhaps I have to actively seek it out, since I just looked at a few pages of posts sorted by active. After that visit, I’ve thought of people screaming about how awful hexbear is as similar to people who pushed the war on drugs and made ridiculous claims like smoking one joint will turn you into a good-for-nothing bum.

      I do wonder if the people who exaggerated and invent dramatic versions of what’s posted there realise we can just look at it ourselves and see they’re being silly? I guess what I really want to know is do they hope people won’t look or have they not looked and are just assuming it’s like that?

      Hexbear is glaringly a false ally to Trans people.

      In one breath the say they have rights and then in another they are with China that they should be killed.
