    congratulations, you discovered the flaw in an extremely serious statement made on the internet which is in no way a meme meant almost entirely to agitate propagandized libs

    enjoy this portrait I drew of you as an award: smuglord

      i didnt figure it was until folks actually defended it seemingly completely genuinely

      you can tell because “its true, generally good guy that made great strides for lgbtq folks” is actually also not an extremely serious statement

        A whole bunch of people also said that Stalin 100% deserves criticism for failing queer folks.

        The main reason why people rush to make a genuine defense of him - despite Hexbear’s overwhelming support for LGBTQ+ folks - is because the default stance of the propagandized West is that Stalin is effectively synonymous with Hitler, and undermining that attitude is a crucial element of peeling back over a century of anti-communist propaganda.
