From personal experience, hexbear isn't as bad as people claim it is

Agreed. It's wild they get compared to exploding-heads

From the handful of times I've gone on hexbear, I couldn't throw a stone without hitting someone who thought either the USSR was a utopia or the stories of human rights abuses in China are blown out of proportion. Or maybe even that Hamas are the good guys, somehow.

Listen, I'm all for communism as long as it's paired with a stable democracy. But Hexbears are insane and I'm ashamed they think I'm one of them.
