I have a theory about this place. I have noticed a theme of owls. Several users are named after owls or have owls in their profile pictures. But why? Why would a site named after bears use so much owl iconography?

Let's think about owls. People like owls, they're cute and fluffy. They look like cats. They're wise. But they are also sneaky, silent predators. They operate under the cover of darkness and swoop down on their unsuspecting prey before they even know what hit them.

Believe it or not, this makes owls the perfect symbol for a tankie instance. I think that's why these people like them. Think about it. They pretend to be nice and friendly to get LGBTQI+ people to let their guard down, and then, like a scheming owl, strike them with Marxist brainwashing.

Leftists are like owls in the way that they pretend to offer something comforting and friendly, but they are secret predators ready to take what is yours. Do not trust them. I don't have any evidence of Hexbear doing anything bigoted, but it's only a matter of time. The owls are hiding something.

It's completely true. That's why the greatest work of insidious LGBT+ propaganda in human history is literally named "The Owl House". We're hiding in plain sight, waiting to ambush unsuspecting cis straight people into wearing plaid shirts and doc martens with our freaky sex-magic shenanigans. Or in the case of our ace comrades, our freaky non-sex-magic shenanigans.

I have a thing for marginalized people. They're so creamy and delicious and my doctor said i had to cut down on butter they're almost as good

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 40 points 10 months ago

Marginalized people when butterized people walk into the room: oh-shit

So what you are trying to say is that we shouldn't have outdoor owls?

Don’t listen to her. Go see a downstairs doctor.

Good opportunity to enjoy that i'm finally seeing my downstairs doctor less than two weeks from now to discuss how i can become post hog.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

It's gonna be a while until i get the whole in my pants situation sorted out, there's still one extra layer of gatekeeping and then at least a year on a waiting list ahead of me, but it still feels so good to have made it this far.

Having to mod in character customisation to fix being stuck with whatever RNG attributes rolled at start really brings the game down. No wonder reviews gave it the worst score possible, 8/10.

Owls aren't predators, they only kill creatures who God has fated to die, they're scavengers

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

I was wondering why lightning strikes every time an owl catches it's prey

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

The owls are not what they seem.

I really only care about Stalin.

And Donald Trump. Mao, maybe, but that's it.

Statistically speaking you can safely extrapolate my opinion out for any and all hexbear users - I'm sure they would agree that I quite literally "speak for them".

This is disinformation about owls. Nobody listen to FreedomFighter1312's, this is clearly one of Simon Cowell's alts.

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

Leftists are like owls in the way that they pretend to offer something comforting and friendly, but they are secret predators ready to take what is yours

owls don't lure anything or offer anything they are ambush predators but so are falcons. Owls don't pretend anything

also it's just a running joke because one of our users likes owls

[-] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

I'm faking it. Don't know about everyone else.

[-] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

Betraying everyone on this site the first and second chance I get.
