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

I always thought the overlap of right-wing hentai people and right wing “porn addiction is Satan” people was a little weird. Like whole swathes of people getting angry about porn addiction and then sharing and tweeting porn.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My few months on twitter have taught me that 90% of twitter argumenta boil down to who will call the other a porn addict first.

[–] WithoutFurtherBelay@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does this mean “gooners” are the ultimate twitter arguer?

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They enter a mentat trance if they manage to edge long enough. They can imagine entire possibility chains for arguments before they even drop the bait.

They have a normal interest in sex but they've been brutally conditioned to hate and fear sex, and they try to resolve the cognitive dissonance by projecting their self hatred on to everyone else.

Like that's literally what porn addiction is; Weird Christians think about boobs a normal amount of the time, but they've been taught that ever thinking about boobs ever means they're evil sinners who are going to hell, so they've decided that thinking about boobs a normal amount of the time means they're addicted to pornography. And in cases of people who do look at boobs more than is necessarily a good idea, some of them are there because they think looking at a few boobs means they're going to hell, so why not go for broke and look at boobs all the time? They have no cultural model for healthy amounts of boob thinking so they end up on extremes, and both extremes are defined by misogyny and self hatred and the anger that results from their perceived lack of control and piety.

This is a consistent thing with christian fascist, Mormon, Catholic moralism. They're told that thinking about boobs and actual literal murder are both crimes of equal significance, and it totally fucks up any kind of moral compass they might have because they're constantly thinking they're going to go to hell because they noticed someone has a really sexy beard. They've been told everything is evil, and they believe it and everyone around them in their culture also seems to believe it, so they end up ironically unable to distinguish between good and evil, and just think everything is evil. And the Protestants do it, too; Witness Terf Islands bizarre campaign to enforce heterosexual sex in the missionary position as the only allowable sex, and everything else is banned because (British noises).

I think it's "What no harm-based ethics does to a MF" to an extent. They evaluate ethics and morality based on bad translations of a book written by and for people in a completely alien social context and tie themselves in to knots trying to make their poorly understood ideas about that book conform to the modern world.

This is how I feel about Qanon, a supposedly anti-pedophilia movement, having its start on 4chan, a forum operated and used by pedophiles.

[–] WithoutFurtherBelay@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

porn addiction is when you touch yourself in a gay way
“free thinking” is when you touch yourself to big tiddy anime woman while uttering slurs

pedophilia is when you have gay sex
“free thinking” is when you touch yourself to pictures of literal children

centrist

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

Its the standard Born Again Christian trope. Not enough to simply say that you're against fapping for reasons. You need to claim an entire story arc around your fall, hitting rock bottom, empathizing with your fellow removed, finding the One True Path to salvation, and then rebuilding yourself in this brand new superior self-image.

You cannot truly condemn Hentai until you have been consumed by it and shat out the other side, dusted off by Jesus Christ himself, and rehabilitated into his most Righteous Satan-Killing Supersoldier.

Meanwhile I think this fictional character is transgender because the creator of the character said she is

[–] Theblarglereflargle@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

ill never forget the hilarious Cole levels after that going from cultural”it’s a cultural misunderstanding”, to “it’s a mistranslation of what Daisuke said”, to “I’m just going to pretend he never said anything

[–] GarfGirl@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The funniest thing is he wasn't even going to confirm it until some chuds faked an announcement by the company saying that she wasn't trans, essentially forcing their hand to very clearly confirm that she was and to say that the other statement saying she wasn't was faked

The amount of poems that are nominally about how cool god it but are actually just barely disguised degradation kink is AMAZING. Like there are dozens of different genres of "No no this is actually a chaste, uhh, metaphorical poem about how I want god to manpregnate me! It's metaphorical! Symbols! I'm definitely not writing this with one hand under the table because I'm horny for god!"

On the same note - People who insist the Song of Songs isn't about doing it.

kkkristian sexual mores are deeply twisted and evil

[–] Theblarglereflargle@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Can someone please explain to me the thought process these fuckers have where Boy dressed as girl= not gay and hetero to fap to

But trans girl= gay and makes me gay for liking it.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 36 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Because they want to degrade someone. A crossdressing boy is their kink because they think it's degrading. They also only see it in an erotic context. They don't see a boy dressed as a girl as a fellow person or member of society, just an object of desire. They see a slab of meat and an outfit.

Whereas a trans girl with an explicit, stated identity is someone asking for respect. She's someone who announces her humanity and doesn't primarily exist in an erotic context. She's a full human being they have to reckon with. A trans woman's gender is a normal aspect of her identity and goes beyond being a kink or a type of clothes.

That's my guess from reading how they talk in forums about this stuff. They're also misogynists so throw that in the pile too.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i-think-that they should have basic human respect for femboys and not treat them as sex objects too.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

I don't expect a lot of basic human respect out of transphobes

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

Extremely well put. Nothing to add but wanted to do more than just upvote

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Boy dressed as girl is hetero because straight boys can have a little bussy as a treat, as long as it's not argr (NB: getting pegged is not argr if the manlyboy still gets to treat the femboy as a sex object).

Trans girl is gay and you're gay for liking her because gay is when the sussus amogus is subversive to the modes of patriarchal oppression like some kind of soyboy loser (this includes respecting trans people's identities) (patriarchy is predicated on gender essentialism)

Was this, you know, before the...?

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 33 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Nope. In the tweet before this they cite old information to say she's still a femboy. As if strive just didnt happen.

There is no trans in Ba Sing Se

What's it called when right wingers do the thing where they project super hard, but in a way you can tell is filtered through so many layers of baffling assumptions about the world that to go through and untangle every one of the neuroses underlying it would take a thousand years? The Project-Gallop?

What's the meaning of the Khrushchev corn emoji

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

In this context, it's a reference to a Dril tweet:
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/corn-cobbed

As for Khrushchev, he had a huge agricultural campaign in the mid-50's and early 60's where he tried to popularize corn as a feed crop for livestock. In typical Khrushchev fashion, he fucked it up spectacularly.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

Someone is shriveling into a corncob aka being bombarded with negative attention and trying to minimize it

guy who centres his entire personality around jerking off to twinks in skirts is accusing trans people just existing of being porn obsessed 🤔

Funny, I only started having an internal sense of identity after I came out as trans

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, I mean, this will be a good way to suss out the chuds

"Is Bridget trans?"

"No, he's a boy who dresses like a woman for reasons!"
