    but I wonder how many black hexbears have left the site in the past because of similar issues

    a lot left before the move here sadly, i think we used to have more back on reddit ironically.

    This is just a thought, feel free to tell me it’s a dumbass idea, but what if we had an emoji specifically for POC hexbears to use in race-related discussions

    no its a great idea.

    i also wish hexbear would treat black people they way indigenous people or trans people are treated on here. theres a respect there that there isnt for black culture, theres also this understanding that you dont have to understand something to respect it. black culture isnt seen as something worthy of respect. people on here will argue that aspects of black culture specifically are wrong and anything they do deem acceptable or fashionable “doesnt belong to black people” and they are free to take. we are dissected cut up into bite sized pieces. not just here everywhere. im not even gonna bring up what that guy said before he deleted his comment im just gonna block him and move on.

    also thanks umbravivi love seeing you around.
