I'd say YOU guys (Hexbears and Lemmygradians) are bots. In fact, I'm probably talking to one right now.

The pronoun tags give it away. They're completely random. My inbox as follows:

"none/use name" - "she/her" - "ze/hir" - "they/them" - "any" - "comrade/them" - "comrade/them" - "he/him"

Jfc did Russian propagandists just put the pronouns for these bots...on shuffle? I'm not saying all of you guys are bots but it seems like the majority. Lol I wonder if there's a script I can use to shut you down.

being a bot is when you have pronouns and the more pronouns you have the more Russian you are

Nope, it would make sense if the pronoun tags were 90% he/him and she/her, but the extent of variation among the tags user choose is completely unrealistic and arbitrary that any community would have.

Any tankie space would obviously be like 98% he/him neckbeards only.

We're a radically pro-trans community. A purge of transphobes near the beginning was a formative moment for our community. We're radically welcoming of trans folks, so a lot of trans folks post here.

Also trans folks are disproportionately leftist (for a good reason, liberation for trans folks cannot come through capitalism), the idea that "tankies" would be majority "he/him neckbeards" is silly, if not actually outright transphobic.
