    I may be too old but I don’t understand the ramblings of those teenagers. Reading this gave me a headache.

      Just neo-4chan edgelords who haven’t come to their senses yet.

      15 years ago I was a shitposter on 4chan saying all sorts of horrible shit. That’s not who I am today.

      I’m willing to bet they’ll come around eventually, but only one-by-one - not as a group. Until then, it’s best to isolate them like the internet did /b/.

        4chan users (*mainly on certain boards — but those are the boards most non 4chan users think of, and the boards I assume commenters are referring to in most cases) are right wing, transphobic, racist, and in general do not share any beliefs at all with hexbear users except that they also do not like liberals. I think your understanding of hexbear begins and ends with “they are communists who do not like me and are rude”

                the hobby ones aren’t too bad, the holocaust denial threads were specifically /b/, and /his/, but I remember weird far-right shit also popping up pretty often in any board that allowed a wide range of content, like /p/, /gif/, and /int/

                  and /his/

                  Really? Because I remember /his/, for all their other bad takes, at least back in the day, being very fond of Bomber Harris and Doing It Again whenever the issue of Nazis came up.
