i am extremely upset by this post. Not because it is fake news presented as fact requiring a click thru to see it is from the onion, —the very reason i block fakenews— but because of the meta crap going on within hexbear.
I'm not fully aware of the nitty and gritty but i sense that it is posted here and in that manner because of the recent fakenews hateposts, whatever mods are having a spat, n such n so on.
its a fucking embarrassing slip for a server that generally conducts itself with more aplomb.
and that's like... leaving aside the fact that that this fakenews is extremely adjacent to real news around the world about real government action attacking trangendered folk. and i don't want to hear your effin excuses, only the most tone-deaf libassed person world refuse to see this point.
whoever it happens to be that needs to hear this? Hear me. hear what I'm saying. see where i and we are coming from. and instead of getting defensive like I'm seeing here, maybe listen to the people who are upset and do some goddamned self crit omg.
goddamnit

WAOW this sub is awful fake news everywhere....
Goddamnit, I didn't look at the source. Fucking ban onion posting in non-fakenews coms.
Goddamnit, I didn't look at the source.
your fault - read the article next time before commenting 
I'm autistic and I take things literally. But thanks for trying to shame me about it. Fuck off.
you literally did not comment anywhere on this thread besides your original comment above so the fact you're taking my response as 'shaming' when it is clearly light ribbing is incredible but my apologies you got the wrong impression
Well, again, I'm autistic, I read your comment literally. Apologies for taking the joke wrong, and also apologies for telling you to fuck off.
no need to apologize I deserve to be told to fuck off at least once a day to keep me humble
Autism doesn't make you lazy or unable to read more than a headline
Gonna have to disagree on this. Keeping Onion posts out of c/news is understandable, but this isn't c/news, it's c/chapotraphouse. This was never a 100% super serious all the time news comm.
I am torn on this. The Onion bits are to close to reality for me to remove them from this comm
i will do a mod crusade if you start removing Onion posts from this comm because people can't click on a linked article before commenting 
Another mod removed it, I restored it. The Onion is not at all in the spirit of what the fakenews comm was meant to contain.
Another mod removed it, I restored it
the people's mod Nakoichi
the other mod is a fascist sorry
@other-mod remove it again
The fake news mod was meant to contain fake news
That's the issue though, isn't it? If people clicked into every link, we wouldn't need a fake news com. But sometimes people don't, and spreading bullshit is still spreading bullshit

You'd think with their recruiting numbers in the red and their weird hard-on for even more war as entire the torrent that will be climate catastrophe they'd be treating this shit like Starship Troopers and taking whomever they can get.

Please delete this shit and relegate the onion to fake news ffs. It's not even that people are lazy it's just the principle of the matter. In a comm about y'know real shit the shit should be real.
fake news is only for OC
Onion articles have been posted to this comm hundreds of times throughout the years.
Click and read the article next time and you have nothing to fear. You are all getting upset when you only have yourselves to blame for being lazy consumers of headlines.
