Anyone have the link to that time we were namedropped in the "online violent rhetoric" study thing?

This definitely happened, right? I haven't been sleeping correctly for a while but I'm pretty sure this wasn't a fever dream

There's definitely a toxicity issue with hexbear tankies. One of them linked me a video saying it was the "funniest sh*t they've ever seen". It was of a cartoon grandpa turning himself into a pickle. Just simple commentary about the lengths men will go to avoid self-criticism, even absurdly becoming a pickle which isn't scientifically possible. I have seen funnier things and more intelligent cartoons WITHOUT needing to resort to profanity to share them. Rhetorical violence is all they know.
I was looking and I find a different one than I remember! https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377612857_General_Risk_Index_A_Measure_for_Predicting_Violent_Behavior_Through_Written_Communication
- yeah never heard of this one! it's recent, too
- HEXBEAR MENTIONED
  
  When you live in a country with 70 million fascists but you're researching a tankie message board with ~1k active posters you have reached a novel and as yet unwitnessed lack of seriousness.
- Why you gotta shatter my dreams like that. I thought we finally made it.
  
  Its still real to me, damn it
  
  There’s a research paper linked above that’s different and seems more legit
  
  It means we must post harder!

- I didn't know we had a bestofhexbear comm, but I got to reread that story of the person who stole Code Geass yaoi from work again lol
- Ahhhh, memories. Thank you, comrade
  
  Welcome!
Y'all are posting the wrong one. It was Richard Rogers and here's his site: https://www.rogersperspectives.com/
He hasn't included Hexbear by name in the most recent "FRAMES OF MISINFORMATION, EXTREMISM, & CONSPIRACISM A Purposive Sample of Social-Media Channels, Discussion Forums, and Web Pages December 2023 Monthly Summary" but he DID get funding from the National Institute of Justice for the next 3 years of Frames reports so maybe we will get featured again. (https://ysu.edu/news/ysu-receives-award-national-institute-justice-research-violent-and-accelerationist-discourse)
May 2023 was the last one IIRC that we were mentioned in: https://web.archive.org/web/20230919015730/https://www.rogersperspectives.com/_files/ugd/86bb54_b3f617b3053443289aaee072161e470f.pdf
I regularly call for the death of officials and individuals as well as entire classes, yet I was not named in these papers, curious
