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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Also accuses us of getting "offended at anyone, for any reason." Literally indistinguishable from a chud.

it's a transphobic dogwhistle

explanation cw: self harm, deaththere was a study that said over 40% of trans people try to kill themselves, and so often we are harrassed by people telling us to join that number. technically it's 41% so it's possible this was an accident but i'm sure as shit not giving this asshole the benefit of the doubt

god I spend too much time in left spaces because I hear 40% and think of the cop domestic abuse stat. I completely missed that this post was layering the transphobia like a cake.
