"We’re headed for hexbear… That’s where our new home is now. Hey. That was some subreddit we had, huh? Four years ago… pinging the chuds… Posting pig poop balls… And they took it away. We're gonna rebuild it… Make a new place, together. That we can call home. Yeah, we were bears, alright. Slinking around out of spez’s sight, picking up whatever kind of dirty upvotes we could find. You name it, we did it… You see this? Hexbear… Our new home. A phantom of our former selves… Shitposts, dunks… We weren’t allowed either. Yeah, I remember it all."
[A flashback plays from 1 day ago, the attack on the_dredge_tank]
”Comrade… Why are we still here… Just to suffer? Every night, I can read UlyssesT's elon posts, and the random twitter feed lib posts… and even the lemmy.world posts… The comms we’ve lost… It won’t stop hurting, like they’re all still there… You feel it too, don’t you? I’m the one who got caught up with lemmy, a group above hexbear, even the chapos, and I was the parasite below, feeding off their votes… They came after you in the_dunk_tank, then the_dredge_tank. Lemmy just… keeps growing, federating with everything in its path, getting bigger and bigger. Who knows how big now… comrade… We're gonna make ‘em give back our past… Take back everything that we’ve lost. And we won’t rest… until we do. Our new dunk comm. I don’t know how long it’ll take, but we'll make it bigger… better than before… comrade...”
[The helicopter lands at c/commrequest]
”Things have changed, comrade. We pull in upvotes, users, just to combat comm closure. Rubbing our noses in thirty rainbow reply lines, all for a new comm. The site calls for dunks, and we answer. No greater good, no just cause. They sent us to c/counterpropaganda… But we’re going even deeper”
”I know… I’m already a joker. Reddit’s not my kind of place anyway.”
”Chapo dot chat, for four whole years. That ends today. Now you’re not logged off, and we’re not reddit shitposters... We’re hexbears.”
”We can dunk, comrade. And you can recruit the badposters that can do it.”
”Just one thing, comrade… This isn’t about the_dunk_tank… We’re fighting for the new comm.”
As an English slur, it was mostly used against Japanese people living in America, aka not really the people doing the systematic racism
even then just don't like... sling slurs as insults for other people? obvs cracker gets a pass because it has literally zero social weight as a slur in its modern form
