These types of threads will always have someone point out that Hexbear is born from r/CTH, which was banned for "extremism".
They don't go into detail what the extremism was.
Yeah, John Brown?
I don't know if you heard, but uuuuh he didn't do anything wrong.

I read through it and sadly nobody made the "History of Hexbear" comment. .World continues to decline.
What was the extremism (genuine question)? I vaguely get the sense it was saying a cop should die or something but I am ignorant to how r/CTH was banned and hexbear was formed.
I wasn't there, but the widespread belief is that it was banned for a large influx of support for John Brown and saying Slave Owners deserved to get shot, which is just extremely correct.
"Inciting violence" with such phrases as "John Brown did nothing wrong, slave owners deserved to get killed" as the primary example but also "bash the fash" didn't help. Also 'glorifying' violence like laughing at Richard Spencer getting a right hook in the temple (which is a ridiculous notion, you can't glorify something that was already glorious, it's like saying someone is "illuminating the sun")
I always thought it was them picking a sub to ban with all the insane right wing ones so they looked fair and balanced
