Go to the actual URL, hexbear.net
You’re reaching for some “fascists always pretend to be joking until they’re not” thing, but the Hexbear community originally formed around a deeply irony poisoned socialist comedy podcast called Chapo Trap House, and hexbears themselves are unsurprisingly also very irony poisoned. On top of that they were an insular unfederated community for three years, with no reason to make their banter intelligible to outsiders. They have a rich set of in-jokes and an emoji list a mile long. Your exposure to them is probably one thread where you argued with them and ten threads of lemmy.world users making shit up about them in absentia.
The podcast Chapo Trap House basically disowned r/chapotraphouse, so pretty much for the poisoned irony getting out of hand.
It feels like r/the_donald, which was also irony, until it wasn't, and suddenly the internet is swarmed with "ironic" Trump memes until he wins the actual presidency, stacks SCOTUS, which rolls back RvW.
Maybe 10 years ago I would be down with all this irony. But there are real life consequences harming women right now, that are not so ironic.
It's time to wake up, grow up, pay attention to the consequences and decide if irony and chaos is worth incidentally supporting fascism.
