    Maybe. But previously when I engaged with people making this same claim, when they provided their evidence (a link to a hexbear post) and I actually spent the effort to verify it, it was trivially clear that their evidence was wrong, and when I showed that to them, they blew up and blocked me from the entire community (they were a mod).

    Since then I’ve been pretty skeptical of people making this claim.

        Sorry, what’s the context that this provides? I’m honestly not that familiar with the podcast other than it being far left

          I often see hexbear users referred to as far-right by those that tend to antagonize.

          I’ve seen many an essayist talk about hexbear and never mention it, so I thought I’d bring it up.

          The context is that, like the alt-right, they retreat into “H-ha ha, I w-was just trolling” whenever too many eyes are on them.
