Some dweeb on Reddit under the handle "StrappingYoungVlad" has created three different subreddits devoted to hating on Hexbear for being "tankies."

In addition to ShitHexbearSays he's also got HexbearWatch and HexbearCirclejerk, although he seems to have only bothered posting to SHBS, and nobody else hates us enough to post on any of these subs.

He HAS been censoring our names in his screenshots where he cries about our incivility toward the queen or whatever, since he's a lib.

EDIT: 2 members 26 online, I think we're the majority of his readerbase

EDIT2: peaked at 52 online lol, also whoever Powder Blue Stanza is, rad username

        Okay so this post where he's mad that we celebrated Colin Powell's death made me think, yes probably a bit, but his comment history feels like that of a sincere left anti-communist so idk.

          I remember a weirdo in reddit that would post things calling Hexbear a stalinist whatever website. That guy was clearly a bit.

      posts in 196 and dankleft

      ran to warn neoliberal when we had a screenshot of their shit eviction takes

      Enoughcommiespam got threatened with a ban for not doing this even with external sites. It makes me think it's connected to some people that have been told off for it before.
