malicious hexbears are taking advantage of people's trauma to turn them against the west folks (and judging by the recent survey, turning them trans too? 
)

The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
That's just it: the loudest, richest, and most powerful "simulation theory" believers are narcissists and do go on further to describe people they don't like as "NPCs" that don't actually have consciousness, only pre-programmed responses to stimuli.
The most glaring example is
and he tweets exhaustively about his "NPC" delusions.
i guess i should never underestimate their narcissism but it's still such a foreign concept to me...
It would have been a foreign concept to me too if I hadn't been around such creeps since they called themselves "Extropians" in the 90s and started rebranding every few years after that.
Some people really do see themselves as the Epic Main Character Video Game Boy and everything around them as a big video game.

R/showerthought posts were awful
Reddit became even more insufferable than usual when that shit started to take off.
/r/writingprompts was full of bazinga like
"E~L~O~N has just mathematically proved that the universe is actually a simulation. He decides to demonstrate that by launching the world's nuclear arsenal into space to cause a simulation-wide lag spike." 
Those weren't even prompts. They were "idea guys" that wrote short outlines, including their dull "twists" and expected someone else to write it out for them.
