there's a lot of random funny hexbear lore out there, like rock stacking, but that's not what I'm asking about. I'm more asking about the really huge stuff, like the transphobe purging or the r/vcj onboarding that apparently almost ended the site. has anyone done any good writeups on those? really hoping for one about the r/vcj onboarding but I'll take any i can get my hands on

Pretty sure Hexbear always was the Chapochat Mascot. And yeah, it's pretty funny theres a cyptocoin with this name. Once a youtuber came here, I think it was internet etiquette guy (Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik, I believe) and he basically joked saying that we were trying to sell him cypto.

i vaguely remember reading that thread, I don't remember if I was reading as it happened or if it happened before I joined hexbear or grad lol

I think some hexbear user got drunk and spent the night spamming the youtuber's email or something lmao.
