I don't know, really. But I feel that Hexbear is mostly misinterpreted - I don't think that they're trying to sealion, it's more like an out-of-place "debate me~" childish cringe. I might be wrong though, as I mentioned in the second paragraph nobody knows the others' intentions.

Hexbear has the same problem as Reddit: it's home to a handful of active, loud, incredibly toxic communities that like to go into other people's online spaces and be assholes.

Also: if you go there and do what they do elsewhere, you get banned.

If these spaces have a rule like “no talking if you’re a man” that’s understandable, but what other kinds of “other people’s” spaces are you referring to?

Yeah, Hexbear wants hearts and minds, they're just really bad at it.
