I'm actually having a hard time deciding between several solid contenders (and their totally-not-their-alts alts) but I'll go with one that I had very little actual interaction with: the "cranking the hog in front of coworkers whether they want to see that or not is liberating and if you're against it you're a reactionary scold" Whedonbrain we had that one time. :volcel-judge:

          Were they the mod that was getting blackout drunk and banning anyone they didn't like? I got banned early on bc they thought I was someone else then creating accounts was locked and I just stopped using the site for abt a year

          You're not even using TCs correct pronouns. That's super cringe

          If you're not sure of what pronouns to use, why not check her account? You clearly know her username

          True true. It was a split. I just think their voice became louder because they were a site mod and most the other site mods supported them and amplified their voice.

              Idk I think “the name that shall not be named” incident, where TC69 became irl moderator proved this site can overcome almost anything.

                      I’m honestly still confused by that situation. I just don’t really trust anyone online. And the accusations seemed to be all made up. No screenshots, no call logs, nothing. And a chud was bragging about making it up.

                      The issue was he worked at a quite public company that he was constantly talking shit about on here quite literally live posting awful board room meetings (a posters poster). And then he got doxxed because he put his family crest on Reddit.

                        beatnik got virgil texas'd. just cumtown weirdos knowing it's very easy to divide lefty communities with false SA/grooming accusations.

                          I remember some investigation and the other mods concluding that beatnik hadn't don't anything, am I hallucinating?

                            I'm with you, but I think everyone agreed that "Beatnik" as an identity needed to die, and there guy behind the account can either start over from scratch or move on. I've always wondered if we'd hear about him again directly or via a mod, but probably not.

      What are you talking about? TransComrade69 was never banned and did not insist that leftists needed to go to January 6th.

      Is that what happened to her? I just assumed she moved on from Hexbear.

          Yeah that's what I thought; she doesn't seem like that kind of person being described.
