What is your favorite obscure old hot take to ever pop up on this site? For @Civility purposes, nothing from active users, please. Also "power dynamics" isn't obscure. (hexbear.net)

I'll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don't know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

totally forgot to mention this: if anyone uses twitter, that posting demon volkvulture used to have an account on hexbear. probably the most surprising thing I've ever learned using this site

(for clarity: I am well aware that volkvulture is a dumbass patsoc, but his willingness to post for hours on end and literally never concede an argument is legendary I must admit)
