I put unsure, which is true, though I’m AFAB and cis presenting. A lot of online spaces (whether leftist or otherwise) are just hard to interact with when you’ve grown up conditioned to femininity. At least on Twitter, TikTok etc there is some amount of accountability with people’s accounts but in more anonymised spaces the language and discourse is often just very… dismissive, cynical, violent, etc. and it’s not that it’s not warranted, but cis women are often raised to be repelled by that kind of tone so it can be a shock/difficult to fit in even if the space isn’t overtly or implicitly misogynist.
That makes a lot of sense to me. Just yesterday, I was on 4chan (not to hang out, but unfortunately it's still the best place to find certain things, so I will do targeted searches to get what I need and get out) and I happened to go into one of the few enclaves that's dominated by women. I swear it was it was like I was on an entirely different site: shocking, but in a good way. People are being nice to each other! No one's throwing slurs around or being casually misogynist! It's still 4chan, so there is some weirdness, but it's a lot closer to Tumblr tone-wise than I would have ever imagined possible. I suppose that's one of the advantages of imageboards--if you want to, you can pretty much just live inside of a few ongoing threads and completely ignore the rest of the site, which isn't really facilitated by a reddit-style platform.
Even if the politics of Hexbear could hardly be more different from 4chan and it doesn't have the same culture of being needlessly rude to each other, I can definitely see how the jocularity and calls for violence (ironic or otherwise) could be off-putting. Tbh, it's not a dialect I'm particularly fluent in either, but I'm more or less inured to it and (unlike 4chan) I don't have to communicate that way myself to be accepted here.
