Someone please help me understand what this means. Is it making of those who are involuntarily celibate that rationalize continuation of the causes by claiming it's a choice?

It's a bit with a long history lol. As far as I understand, this place used to be a subreddit. Apparently at some point during that time, the number of horny posts started to increase, the joke about the volcel police was started to "police" the place and call out those posts in a lighthearted way. Then the bot migrated with that community over here. So I don't think it has any deeper meaning, it's just one of those inside jokes/memes that can develop over time in a community.

"Beaver" is a slag term for vagina. "Pound" is a euphemism term for fuck. So the OP is imagining the eagle fucking the beaver (humorously).

Hexbear has an informal policy of "not being horny," or specifically "not being horny on main." The policy exists because Reddit is filled to the brim with disgusting, immature straight men who fill every comment section with sexual innuendos and objectification of women, even in posts with no inherent sexual content. On Hexbear, the Volcel Police serve to shut down that kind of off-putting (alienating) over-sexualization of non-sexual things.

That makes perfect sense. Thank you.

The Valiant Panda logo gave me some Ben Garrison "grrr graphics" vibes (he has a logo of a pitbull with a pencil in it's mouth) so I checked his site and sure enough he made a comic using the same iconography except he thinks it's good actually

Bald Eagle is not even the top of food chain bird of prey in North America (it's the Golden Eagle)

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perch'd on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him. With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping and Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District.

Funny but this a person who owned humans as slaves

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This isn't about the man's moral discernment, it's about how he unintentionally described the United States while trying to criticize the animal that became the national symbol.

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I know, I'd just like to see some permanent Ben "the slaver" Franklin naming

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

I can get behind that, edited my comment

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What? I have seen a lot of bald eagles fish, but never seen one take a fish from another bird.

I think he was a turkey aficionado.

Nothing hunts adult bald eagles, they are absolutely at the top of their section of the food web.

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Nothing actively hunts leopards in African savannahs either, but lions are top cat, not leopards. Bald eagle often get their kills stolen by gold eagle or get bullied of scavenger meat by golden eagle

Golden eagle is just slightly bigger, but have comparatively bigger talon as they specialize in hunting larger land animals (including deers) while bald eagle specializes in hunting fish. An adult golden eagle will steal/bully a bald eagle almost everytime.
