[CW: chaser username] Hexbear: Not pro-LGBTQ+, the Israel of Lemmy instances
The most aggravating thing about these is that they keep implying hexbear is a straight site that made the decision to let us be here. When they make detached from reality insults like hexchan or israel it’s easy to say ‘lol, no’. But I hate that they’re also trying to smuggle in the idea that of course it’s the straight people that are in charge of this website. Probably without even realizing it.
Personally I prefer the ones where they just call us fake queers.
How do people expect to be taken seriously while blatantly lying about ban reasons when the mod log is public?
Oh look, it was not banned for saying gender-neutral pronouns exist.They're the Israel of lemmy instances
im really not even angry, this is fucking beautiful
like what does that even mean? how did your brain make such a leap that it could have crossed the grand canyon? I really keep trying to respect some liberals but a bunch of their ideology boils down to "I don't like thing, so it is bad, and this bad thing is also every other bad thing" and then pretend they've unlocked the secret to the goddamn universe.
The whole "pretending to be LGBTQ-friendly" accusation with such conviction made absolutely no sense to me until I think it kind of clicked for me where they might be coming from. I think the origin of that belief isn't really actual ignorance but instead a partial understanding of their own liberal politics projected onto us.
Imagine you're a lib and you genuinely want queer people to have somewhat better lives in a world that is largely hostile to them. Liberal democracy only allows the continued existence of capitalism and the order that hurts LGBTQ people in the first place. So your only actual option within that system is to put your support behind a political entity that acts like it's the protector of marginalized people when it's convenient and reinforces systems and narratives of oppression when it's not. No matter how much you make LGBTQ rights a personal value of yours or how often you consume media that tells you how important the issue is to your chosen political entity, there will always be a rift between what you think is right and important and what the people you support actually bother doing about it.
On the other hand, imagine you're a lib who doesn't actually care about LGBTQ issues but you're also not frothing at the mouth thinking about two dudes making out. To you the whole issue has always been nothing but a cultural signifier of other values or if your brainworms are powerful enough it's a tribal team sports thing. Either way, if you have any self awareness you also at least partially understand that queer people are just the ball in a game of liberal politics.
For both of those hypothetical libs it's not a big step at all to see someone opposing their own politics and assume that our support for queer people is fake, because if you take the liberal world view for granted that's the only thing that DOES make sense.
In conclusion, this comment was mostly me trying to call people libs twice 
in hexland, they don't believe in gender neutral pronouns. I said I believed in gender neutral pronouns and it caused such a ruckus the users were running amok until somebody else was brave enough to say they agree. Then they 1984d me.
They wouldn't let me dehumanize people!lib.lgbt 🤣 theyre really spelling it out for us
lib dot lgbt is positive and welcoming lemmy community with a particular focus on LGBT people and their allies. We welcome queers of all stripes, and our non-queer friends of all kinds!
i bet they dont allow the socialist majority of trans people tho, and are a big fan of chasers (as evidenced by the username)
also they have like no active users. their local posts are nearly nonexistent. and of course are making up insane bullshit about the instance with the most trans people in it
Why would an anti LGBT group want lots of support from LGBT+ members? Seems like an easy way to fall apart once you let the mask slip and you won't have any backup because all the other anti LGBT people would have left.
I seriously can't with these dorks existing, like are we really in the same reality? And I mean the modlog speaks for itself, they weren't banned for what they say they were.
Like they need to engage more with us to know us before talking shit, but I guess some people are just they petty.
Jesus.
