    Lmao we treat people with differing opinions completely fine. Hexbear isn’t a monolith.
    We just dont tolerate debatebros. I have yet to see someone engaging in good-faith discussion being mistreated.

    Smug gotchas, refusing to engage in the arguments you’re presented with, choosing condescention and the like gets you rightly treated like a condescending dickbag. Civil discussion is a two-way street.

      I never refused to engage in the arguments. I almost always replies back with thoughtful arguments.

      From what I see the entirety of Hexbears are “debatebros.” They also hold one unified opinion. I have also tried to engage in good faith discussion but some Hexbears kept spamming self-important emojis that made me felt like my good faith wasn’t being seen. Then I kinda became like the average Hexbear for commenting out of bad faith. I apologize for that.

        Your good faith? Last time I saw you engage you ignored every source posted and either didn’t engage or went on about what you felt like or how there’s a possibility despite there clearly never having been one.
        You aren’t acting in good faith.
        If you wanna talk about possibilities a genocide might be occuring you’d have a lot more material to work with if you used the US or France or Ukraine. You didn’t though because you don’t actually give a shit about genocide, you’re just propagandised to hate China.

        Last time I checked you had ignored severe users posting clear and concise arguments as well as well-sourced claims, instead choosing to be condescending. When you engaged with those users you ignored their sources and arguments, instead talking about what you felt like was happening or that your opinion should be respected - despite your opinion being one of propagating long since debunked misinformation.
        Your *opinion isn’t inherently one that deserves respect
