The BBC ran a story about a Muslim family who upped sticks from the city and bought a farm in rural Wales, and how they're encouraging more diverse people from cities to enjoy the outdoors. You can read it here.

The headline now reads Muslim farmer wants more diverse rural visitors. But it didn't when they posted it as evidenced by the Tweet linked in this post, as they can't change that.

For anyone who can't follow the Twitter link (Nitter couldn't find it even with a link, sorry) the original headline was this:

Muslim farmer wants more ethnicity in rural Wales

A headline that very deliberately baited a massive number of racists who predictably used it to tout great replacement theory.

But when you use the Twitter API to make those previews, you get to set your own media and summary. They did it to themselves, and I'm sure it was on purpose for rage bait

grillman: "You urbanites are so out of touch with us normals outside the cities."

gigachad: "Ok, you're right. I'll come visit and learn from you."

grill-broke: "DIE YOU WORTHLESS [SLUR]! [Death threat] [slur] [slur] [death threat]!"

The salt of the earth, everyone.

White people when they see a brown person.

Your existence is considered a horrible crime to them, yet they demand you to automatically forgive them for all the atrocities they put your race through.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

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.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
