    Once again, seeing "based" used outside of Hexbear is a likely chud marker. :doomer:

          :yea: I hate that word and approve when I see it removed in the modlogs.

            it's the incel/manosphere thing about being so unmanly that your (obviously female) spouse sleeps with others and you allow it.

              "Cuck" is worse than that: it entered the discourse via Steve Bannon's neo-nazi propaganda movement and he got from The Camp of the Saints, a French white supremacist novel that used it to refer to anyone who didn't want to exterminate refugees.

          Based and cuck both pack a punch and have a non mainstream sound, even though they've kinda become mainstream, so they get used by extremists all around. I think horseshoe theory might be true for language because the middle and moderate people can just express their beliefs with common language, but more obscure positions inevitably see their adversaries and some terms they like in them. Realpolitik I think I've seen used by chan heads too, and red pill maybe started more leftist until chuds took it over. Honestly -pill language is ubiquitous to extremists, because we all swallowed something the mainstream didn't want to show us.

        I mean I see it a lot in my friendgroup, along with stuff like Chad. Like this is a group where basically nobody is cishet and also I'm in it so definitely a 0 bigot space.

        Sounds about right.

        Sometimes, here on Hexbear, former (I assume former, anyway) 4chan posters get very defensive about that place. :heated-gamer-moment:

          Im not sure what there is to be defensive about 4chan of all places. Even channers will tell you the place is a rotten cesspool.

    people who fake mental illnesses to feel special on tiktok get too much shit compared to people who fake mental illnesses on 8chan to feel special. at least they're actually putting effort into their performance instead of just having the politics of any given white boomer.

      It's even worse when self-described trans people on the *chans call themselves out, slurs and disability declarations built right in, to (apparently) seek acceptance from the same monsters that would be pleased to murder them at the first opportunity.

          okay i know this sounds insane to most normal people but the 4chan collective psyche was and is culturally and literally queer. it's a lot of other things too, but that's one of the main things it is. You can call it cumbrained or "ironic" or profoundly self-loathing but there is no purely cishet interpretation of 4chan.

    Are humans just too stupid for their own good? It hasn't even been 50 years since AIDs. Hell, people have not evolved whatsoever ever since the Salem Witch Trials. Somehow being a "based chad who doesn't care what other people think" is just mindlessly conforming to groupthink ever since the aforementioned Salem days.

    Scratch that, humans are not stupid, they are evil. Any wrongness in their belief is worth it as long as non-conformists get killed for not being conformists.

    These "people" are literally zombies.

      before I really got into historical materialism I struggled with this anger, but stupid vs. evil is a false dichotomy. people are shaped by their material conditions and they seek out the ideas that help them deal with those conditions
