    easy way to get upvotes on here is to call out OP for something the average user thinks is cringe

    doesn’t even have to be true! just do it first and with conviction. “OP troll” “OP is sealion arf arf” “OP spams” “i have OP flagged as blue MAGA do with that what you will” and BOom top comment, no effort no research light work ez w. mods might clap you in 8-10 hours but by then the damage will be done and your game a success.

    reddit brains love to criticize the toxic culture of insta and twitter, then turn around and upvote the first whiff of drama farming they see. 😘🙃

      no effort no research light work

      Basically 99% of ml/hex posters right there.

      Why bother with effort when spamming emojis, stickers, gifs, and pretending like the world is as simple as “country do bad things, wipe out country, world good again”

      Honestly it feels like listening to a bunch of American 6th graders who have just figured out that the US might not be the knight in shining Armour their history teachers made it out to be.

        I think the worst part about hexbear is that they’ve made pronouns in username feel like a red flag

        It must be more specific than “country bad,” since they are simultaneously simping for countries that are doing awful things.

        If it is a nominally socialist (with capitalist characteristics) country, they justify whatever atrocities happen. If it is a capitalist economy, everything that country does is evil.

          simping for countries that are doing awful things.

          You have already fallen into one of the classic blunders! There are no atrocities in [insert famously fascist, oppressive dictatorships here] and any evidence you supply to support your argument is simply mainstream media lies, regardless of the actual source. And if you are the primary source you’re a shill.

        it’s a meaner implication in normal context, like, “here, let me speak to you in the only language you understand, the language of an animal”
