I know others have said it, but i really appreciated getting to talk to you about everything from the gender accelerationist manifesto to wayhaven to bitching about family. You also sat with me in the thread after i posted genuine psychotic shit and broke down about it, that was really nice.

Even if you dont stick around, i hope you pop in and say hi every now and again

Oh hey! I’ve been wondering how you’ve been doing. I’ve enjoyed talking with you about music and fallow, which I still have yet to play but am still very much looking forward to. I’m glad you’re back :)

Your self perception and how other people perceive you have like no correlation whatsoever lol. The people have spoken and the people think you're cool

come on ash, your posts were always good and had value, fight me about it. sry but not gonna affirm you putting yourself down like this. "lolcow" "cringe" "repulsive" nobody sees it that way but you. you wouldn't talk about someone else in the community that way, you don't get to do it to yourself. this is just bullying. glad you're back but sorry you're feeling this way, seems like a really negative and frankly hateful perspective on yourself which isn't reflective of how anyone here views you really. this kind of self flagellation is completely unnecessary. I'm sorry if this is harsh but "condescending politeness" seems like a really disordered view of the reception to your posts, I and many others sincerely appreciated them, looked forward to them even and missed them while you were away. the idea that traa users were just tolerating your presence is simply not the case. we weren't all playing a big joke on you. you're actually a highly valued member of the community and you posting a lot was very much welcome. I'm sorry you're feeling this way, i totally know how that goes. but if you're able, you have to try to to look on yourself with the same kindness and grace you always extended to people on here. I know it's really fuckin hard sometimes. really am glad you're back.

I believe in cringe accelerationism.

wb, you're cool and your absence was noticed /gen

there's only two kinds of people: people who admit to cringing at their younger self, and damned liars

OMG SHE'S BACK

Also, embrace cringe. Cringe is just a negative word for sincerity.

ooooh she's back!

There are people who actually post things of value in those threads.

lmao yes

I like your posting nerd

hello again! missed your posts and posting style

I want to know why you thought it was fine to act like the kind of fuckin internet posting I do was fine

I don't remember your exact posts, but I am always going to remember how you made me feel when I was first figuring out gender. I remember you being compassionate, and kind, and explaining things to me. I remember feeling hopelessly alone, lost, and dysphoric. And you'd almost always have something to say to me or offer. I distinctly remember posting and hoping you were still awake so we could talk a little bit. I remember talking long into the night with you. I remember how comfy you made me feel. That was extremely valuable to me and I miss you a lot.

I've posted a lot of horrifically cringe things in the mega over the last year. Things I hope no one remembers, even if I think about them all the time.

sorry nerd, i love your posting and presence and i'm glad to see you back. pistols at dawn if you want to fight about it

Because your posting is valuable, unique, and entertaining. Entertaining in a genuine "this is written in such a fun way" and distinctly not a lolcow way.

if you'd just said "this is terrible" or maybe even "lol cringe" at some point.

You would have beaten us into submission

missed ya

Ash posting is good posting actually.

it's good to post cringe actually, my posting has gotten worse over the years and I love it

I didn't think your posts were cringe, so either that makes me more cringe, or your cringe isn't actually all that cringe, and you're being hard on yourself unjustly. Trust me, this is math. Trust me, I made a New Vegas effort-comment on the millitary structure of the NCR, and how to make it fresh and sensible.

Anyways, welcome back!

I think you are cool.

It's not very nice to keep autistic children around as your goofy lolcow, you know.

Nah, Hexbear's lolcows are L*dditors who get repeatedly posted on /c/slop. I think one of them is PugJesus(?) or something.

I can't say I know what you're talking about i just had a look at your profile and it seems pretty standard hexbear user to me

There are people who actually post things of value in those threads.

Hahahahaha!

Maybe in the other megas, but the trans one is just a huge pile of cringy shitposts. And that’s exactly how it should be and why people there are missing you.

I mostly post about fucking VTubers, nothing could be worse than that

Real talk though, I'm fucking terrible at and terrified of expressing myself. I post easily less than 10% of the words I write here--and that's honestly pretty good by my standards because outside of Hexbear I barely attempt to write or say anything at all beyond the most superficial social niceties. So I really appreciate people who are able to just be vulnerable and talk about all sorts of things without letting the cop in their heads stop them. Also, I'm pretty bad at noticing usernames when I'm reading through threads, but I know I've seen you around a lot and we've interacted a few times and I've never found you cringe. Glad to have you back!

i don't know who any of you are

i think there's a piss bird sometimes?

Honestly I don't think I've come across your posts or paid attention to them enough to recognize you but I went through your comment history and I do not find it cringe.
