Thank you for writing this post. I related heavily to the OP and reading your comment there were a few things that struck me and has me looking inward.
It means a lot to see others perspectives and experiences, it really helps me ground and tackle my own struggles.
I think a lot of the opinions on hexbear came from when they first federated. There are the general things like it is a leftist instance, and from what I can tell, they like to shit post. I do recommend lurking for a bit and deciding yourself, they do have their own culture there.
During the initial federation there were a couple of things that lead to their reputation -they have a culture of calling out bad takes, instead of down votes they were comment, so they had a lot of engagement
-with their culture of calling things out, they have a community called the dunk tank, that is usually screenshots of other users with bad takes
-they use a lot of pictures in replies, when first federated these would come out really large, taking up the whole thread. This was unintentional and should be fixed now. A popular one was PPB, which is a picture of pig balls with poop on it, as you can imagine this rubbed some people the wrong way.
They are very harsh against Nazi idealogy and they will dunk on liberal takes, but they are very open and accepting in general other than that. An example of this is I have seen multiple posts from a user who admits he has a drug problem (meth I believe) and in each post I have seen they are treated with respect and as a person, something I don’t see very often.
They also get accused of being China and Russian shills, but I have seen a mix of support and criticism. It just depends on what the topic is.
Form your own opinion, check out some posts, they aren’t the boogeyman some comments say they are.
This case is even better than that with 4-8s while keeping the same pay.
I just did a quick search with the extensions that I have installed. The ones I found that gave the best search results were bato.to, mangadex, mangakakalot, and manganato. A few of these I have found scans that weren’t up to date, but I have a feeling most Pokémon manga are already going to be complete.
I hope this helps!
I had the exact same thought when I saw this, there are a ton of references to Berserk in dark souls. I just started (and finished) reading it this month.
You fell for a satirical subreddit, it was also for hate of landlords.
I honestly have no idea how that posted, so when I got your reply I was very confused.
