there’s a lot of random funny hexbear lore out there, like rock stacking, but that’s not what I’m asking about. I’m more asking about the really huge stuff, like the transphobe purging or the r/vcj onboarding that apparently almost ended the site. has anyone done any good writeups on those? really hoping for one about the r/vcj onboarding but I’ll take any i can get my hands on

    Yeah part of the magic is they weren’t nonsense, they just required knowledge of both theory and internet memes to (sort of) understand. And deliberately leaned into obscure references and figures of speech.

    But if translated into common language most of them wouldn’t look out of place in leftist discourse, if maybe a bit extreme sometimes.
