A large part of it is a fanbase of Chapo Trap House which has a particular brand of humor that is rampant with esoteric inside jokes that are vulgar as a point, let alone to the extreme.

That humor, especially without that frame of reference, usually offends your average internet denizen.

Hexbear is also filled with authoritarians which isn't very funny but still offensive

Sure, but to my point: if you don't know or are unaware of the kind of humor associated with their core userbase, you might not be able to tell the difference at face value.

I maintain the best way for the uninformed to try and understand Hexbear users is to learn about or listen Chapo Trap House regardless of your politics/agreement. It puts a lot of their antics into context.
