They are easily riled and while I doubt there is intentional coordination in place, due to their fervour, they can come across like a brigade. If you speak up against them - cue the hexbears flocking to this comment no doubt - they can get quite vicious, as my comment history will witness.

Hexbear's been isolated for a while, and their site developed a culture of trashing on people who "debate" in bad faith, as well as some other stuff like PPB which is weird especially for outsiders.

If you're browsing internal Hexbear posts, you'll find lots of posts under irony which make them perhaps difficult to appreciate. I'd recommend visiting Lemmygrad first.
