Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

This might cause a struggle but: Calling people prudes for not wanting to sexualise themselves is bad (hexbear.net)

"We need to sex up your wardrobe. What do you mean you're not comfortable wearing that? Oh honey, don't be such a prude, all the girls are doing it and you want to be successful don't you? No one's going to watch someone that dresses like their grandma."

I get sick and tired of so called leftists equating exploitation to sexual liberation.

They apologised for the tone and that it wasn't meant to be a call-out of Hexbear, they haphazardly mentioned the "volcel poIice" meme as a joke and didn't understand the intent behind it: https://hexbear.net/comment/6147530

I'm saying this as a sex-negative ace person who found the original post kinda aphobic, though I didn't say so explicitly at the time. In one of my comments there they replied that they were "being combative for no reason and immediately regretted after hitting post": https://hexbear.net/comment/6147126

Hey look! It's me!

But yeah, I had the same concerns you did, and they explained themselves that they just weren't really thinking about how it would come across. Their reaction did seem genuine, if their goal was to cause a struggle they probably would've been a lot more combative in the comments and much less apologetic.
