I am trans and hate hexbear. It's not because they're largely queer, it's because they're tankies.
Blahaj is dope, hexbear is not.
Well, cool, but you're a highschooler so you don't have much real world experience, though being a closeted queer as a highschooler is definitely a hellish and radicalizing experience, I've been there. Also, as a trans person thats been transitioned for a long time, you begin to realize the number of allies you have is very few and debate is very much a waste of time (fun for cis people, terrifying for trans people) and its far more important to build independence and resilience for the community and remove awful people from your life. Hexbear has mutual aid drives and housing support groups that have saved many trans people from homelessness and even their lives. Think: does SJW or lemmy.world do the same, or are they just all hot air and complain about 'tankies' in a vague way while doing nothing? Is it fine to be rude to people who think debating your existence and the existence of other marginalized people is good fun?
