@hark@lemmy.world Though I probably will get downvoted for my shameless self-plug and stance against them, you should read my post on Hexbear: https://lemm.ee/post/5751850. If you don’t have time to read it all, you should at least read the tl;dr and the Edit 1 near the end of the post.
Loving horror stories from the west the same way people here seem to love CHINA BAD stories? I visited hexbear a while back and maybe I just happened to miss all that sort of content, but I mostly just saw things like saying trans people have rights and that war is bad. Perhaps I have to actively seek it out, since I just looked at a few pages of posts sorted by active. After that visit, I’ve thought of people screaming about how awful hexbear is as similar to people who pushed the war on drugs and made ridiculous claims like smoking one joint will turn you into a good-for-nothing bum.
I do wonder if the people who exaggerated and invent dramatic versions of what’s posted there realise we can just look at it ourselves and see they’re being silly? I guess what I really want to know is do they hope people won’t look or have they not looked and are just assuming it’s like that?
The comment I responded to was responding to nothing but the article itself, proposing that there are supposedly entire communities that just loves hearing about children getting killed. Essentially what you’re claiming is that the mere mention of something means it must be real. If I spend my time entering every post that mentions forests to talk about bigfoot, steering the conversation in that direction, does that mean bigfoot exists?
You, seeing this horrific headline: “Oh boy, I can’t wait to dunk on my hated strawman enemies with this!”
Go check out hexbear, those guys love horror stories from the west. their dicks get so hard over it it’s insane.

Hexbear is glaringly a false ally to Trans people.
In one breath the say they have rights and then in another they are with China that they should be killed.
Are you saying that because they defend China on some aspects that they defend China on ALL aspects?
I’m saying that because they defended that specific aspect of China…
Do you have a link to said post?
Thankfully not. Defederated.
You know it’s still possible to paste a link to a defederated instance, right? Or is this just your way of doing a “trust me bro”?

They aren’t strawmen. If they were this discussion wouldn’t be happening.
