But bigots should be bullied until they shut up. No one has a right to treat others as subhuman. I often see casual bigotry on lemmy and other forums, and this is probably the first time I’m seeing such an active resistance. Hexbears are definitely blind to bad things when they are done by certain people, but they are 100% right in pointing out bad things done by everyone else.
That’s not what I was talking about though. From what I’ve seen it seems like the average hexbear user’s definition of a bigot is everyone who disagrees with them. So this isn’t about bullying bigots, it’s about using the concept of a bigot as an excuse for bullying.

This isn’t what I’ve seen so far. But I guess we’ll see, going forward.
