MODERATORS
It's their way of saying "low quality", usually thrown at things they deem forced by a marketing team. Always gave me some anti-semitic vibes when I used to see it used in context but I'm not sure why off the top of my head.
This might be why. I hate that I’ve seen this stuff before.
That's gross (thank you for sharing the link, I haven't heard of that one) but it is 100% not what hexbears mean as they refer to their own forum posts as "slop". They just mean low effort "content" in the more generic English slang sense.
Yes you’re right (though I am not familiar with hexbear). The chan slang was just derived from the standard slang and once you learn about them it can taint your interpretation of it because dogwhistles can sometimes be subtle.
