worth noting that steam decks are still not 'officially' available in australia

i get weird vibes from so many of the trans influencers that get traction, like there are a few who are good but idk

also maybe this is just me being old or something, but along those lines there's something about the 'doll' stuff that's gotten popular that gives me the ick idk

The guy has a passing resemblance to Pooh

so, in your own words then - what is the passing resemblance to Pooh? if its definitely, no way to do with skin colour, what is the 'passing resemblance' supposed to be?

i dont know how to word this well, but this meme feels kinda sus - the POC emojis with the white kids is classic trope to imply that any POC on a leftist forum are actually white kids LARPing, which feels kinda shitty in the context of Hexbear already having problems with POC folk feeling sidelined
