Hey all. I’d like to open an official discussion regarding the upturning of the prior Hexbear party line on an :israel-cool: emote proper with the unambiguous Zionist flag.
I want to preface this by saying this is not in a ‘ceding the issue’ way. Over the past year I’ve been trying to engage in self-crit w/rt the chauvinism I’ve internalized growing up in a Liberal Zionist household, and my personal viewpoint on it did a 180 some months back, so I want to reopen this discussion proper in my personal capacities as Self-Appointed Emote Czar.
The reason it’s taken long enough beyond that is prior to July, I was essentially half-engaged with the site in order to finish out my degree. After that, it’s been mostly inertia of confirming with the admins and other /c/Judaism mods, as well as having to be rigorous about my job search personally giving me little free time to coordinate this.
I do not want to center myself in this conversation more than I inadvertently already have, so I will leave my own opinion on the issue as a comment rather than explaining further here.
The consensus we’ve roughly come to is to open up the discussion in an official manner for a day or so. After that, I’ll weigh the discussion in an entirely vibes-based manner (sorry Dean Norris enjoyers) and we’ll alter Hexbear party line on it accordingly.
Kicking and screaming
This is intended as a lighthearted joke, but we gotta admit that almost nothing changes around here without a fucking struggle session.
Maybe a user being “an asshole” all the time isn’t so bad if this is what it took to get anything to change. Remember me well, I doubt they’ll ever let me back but at least I could get this one concession on the way out. Every time you post the emoji, remember that z_poster died for this. Had to be sacrificed at the altar of compromise to the zionist faction that for some reason exists because mods couldn’t just take a clean L.
We can make the emoji have an alternate tag name “:z_poster_died_for_this:”
lol bro that’s you
