Hexbear had a problem with some stupidpol types in its earlier days. It's one of the reasons downvotes were removed and among other things TC69 led the purges and some of the education that set site culture in a more positive direction.

Hard to imagine this now
It was not overt, it was backhanded stuff with downvoting and concern trolling about the addition pronouns and whether people should be forced to assign them. This went on for some time until TC69-thought established a total purge after peering into voting habits and discovering certain people were consistently downvoting the trans topics and acting in bad faith. There were wreckers among us.
