Yeah but as you can see from the comments here we already have this culture here even as a joke, imo we just have to make sure people don't take volcel it as unironically good and end up on the other side.
I've always taken the volcel stuff here to be more about not letting the forum attract creepers. On reddit any time there's a girl in a pic 80% of the comment section will just be :awooga: shit, which is alienating as fuck.

This site is no different, it's just all blush emojis and submissive "jokes" instead.
ymmv i suppose but i find that infinitely preferable
the tone is so different; it doesn't feel like it comes from a place of misogyny
I find it worse because it's done under the pretense it's somehow woke if you have a slight kink. At least :awooga: guys aren't pretending it's anything else.
i can understand that i suppose. like i said it's very subjective, it just so happens that i find it less repulsive (maybe the focus on "what i'd like to do to her" vs "what i'd like her to do to me"? idk)
Do we need to go over the problems that arise from putting memes in front of discourse?
How insulated a community has to be in order for someone to end up thinking "I don't really know if X is good or bad and I'm too afraid to ask."
Of course we have many, maybe most people here with a strong consciousness and good rhetorical foundation, but I shouldn't have to mention the dozen of struggle sessions over the years over so much stuff.
In hindsight one can always say "but I always thought X was [the correct take here]" but doing it in real time is not as straight forward as it seems.
In the end we realy do need a "Beginners guide to Hexbear" somewhere just to be safe.
Having a guide to site culture and the history of the more popular jokes and memes is rarely a bad idea. Reddit had a couple of subs dedicated to maintaining the history of reddit. Idk if they still exist.
