Hey all. I’d like to open an official discussion regarding the upturning of the prior Hexbear party line on an :israel-cool: emote proper with the unambiguous Zionist flag.

I want to preface this by saying this is not in a ‘ceding the issue’ way. Over the past year I’ve been trying to engage in self-crit w/rt the chauvinism I’ve internalized growing up in a Liberal Zionist household, and my personal viewpoint on it did a 180 some months back, so I want to reopen this discussion proper in my personal capacities as Self-Appointed Emote Czar.

The reason it’s taken long enough beyond that is prior to July, I was essentially half-engaged with the site in order to finish out my degree. After that, it’s been mostly inertia of confirming with the admins and other /c/Judaism mods, as well as having to be rigorous about my job search personally giving me little free time to coordinate this.

I do not want to center myself in this conversation more than I inadvertently already have, so I will leave my own opinion on the issue as a comment rather than explaining further here.

The consensus we’ve roughly come to is to open up the discussion in an official manner for a day or so. After that, I’ll weigh the discussion in an entirely vibes-based manner (sorry Dean Norris enjoyers) and we’ll alter Hexbear party line on it accordingly.

    I think we are on the same page then, and I’d like it to be stated that the emoji should’ve been added once it was requested. If you wanna provide the context for why that didn’t happen, yeah sure.

      The context is in the post body and the fact that we did not want to go around her and the mods/admins that agreed with her to make the emoji when the pictures in comments were allowed.

        We’re kinda talking past each other, and I bear some of the blame, like I said, I’m not good with words. I know the context comrade and I was there when ysf objected to adding the emoji.

        What I was asking for is for you to amend this statement:

        We should have added the emoji months ago.

        And I’ve explained my objection towards it so I won’t go into that again, but it should read " We should have added the emoji once it was requested."

        Maybe you think I’m making a big deal out of nothing, but in this very thread some comrades were mentioning the genocide while trying to make the case for why we gotta add the emoji. I know they are well-meaning and I’m not calling them out, but I think we need to be clear about this.

        If you wanna provide the context for why that didn’t happen, yeah sure.

        What I meant is that I don’t care one way or another.
