  • To me, Biden seemed certain to lose, while with Kamala it could go either way. In no way is she a worse candidate than Biden. I think we should all be deeply invested in Kamala winning the election. Not because I want to see Trump lose, though I do. Not because I want to see Kamala win, which I don’t really. What I want, what I think we all want, is to see Hillary Clinton looking on as another woman becomes the first woman president. Not just that, I want to see Kamala win easily, just to make it clear to Hillary that she, personally, was the problem in 2016. No one thinks Kamala is an impressive candidate, so if her mediocre ass beats Trump with a comfortable margin, it’ll more or less settle the argument as to who was responsible for Trump’s victory.

    To be clear, I haven’t lost sight of the fact that a Harris presidency would basically just be the Biden presidency with more awkward laughter. We’re not going to get a good president this time around, or maybe ever. I’m aware that I’m doing something similar to the republican rank-and-file who know their candidates won’t do anything to help them, but will at least make the people they don’t like suffer. We should all be protesting, agitating, and organizing for something better, but with the understanding that organizing is almost certainly not getting us a better candidate this cycle, let’s try and find joy where we can. In this case, in schadenfreude.








  • Are we squeamish about sex? This place does seem less horny than other online spaces, but like, not because the people on here are prudes or sex-negative. More like people here understand how fast horny-posting can turn into something uncomfortable, or into outright sexual harassment, and in the interest of keeping this place nice, are doing the horny-posting in more appropriate places. I don’t know, I’ve never gotten the impression that hexbear is uncomfortable with sex, or that this place is completely sexless, just that we maintain a respectful distance from it to ensure everyone’s comfort and a minimum of drama
