I was speaking more along the lines of the endless emotes and troll comments. I don't think people have a problem with many of the comments that have actual meat to them, even if they vehemently disagree with what's said, like I often do. The ones posting the same trollface emote fifty times though? That's assnine and annoying. Then those same users complain that nobody wants to "debate" them. That's not debate. It's not even a conversation.

take a step back and notice that those comments are in response to someone else engaging in bad faith behaviour. Hexbear does not have a downvote function, which has fostered a culture of mocking people acting in bad faith. If you do not like people dunking on idiots, then get mad at the idiot
