Yeah, and people definitely need to stop doing that blind upbearing bandwagon shit because it’s brainrot that has gotten POC deeply concerned about the level of racism on this website in the past. Something that white leftists do that’s really fucking annoying is that they assume that everyone in leftist spaces is based, but that’s because of projection. They themselves don’t ever want to admit their reactionary brainworms or things like their complicity in white supremacy—they want to uphold themselves as “one of the good ones” without doing any of the fucking work, so they’ll assume that every other white leftist is as “based” as they think they are and they can blindly upvote racist comments on Hexbear and feel like there’s nothing problematic about it when their entire fucking outlook on race is problematic. They have no awareness, and if what you’re saying is true—that these upbears stem from the bandwagon effect—then, quite frankly, fuck this site for putting me on the edge of extreme mental breakdown and getting myself hospitalized to face excessive racist and transphobic discrimination and only make my life worse than it already is.
