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

It's from their admin post. Dunking not suggested tbh.

They are so irony poisoned that sincerity is alien to them.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah there's plenty of sincerity around here, we just don't feel a need to engage critically with people who deal with others in ignorance and arrogance.

To have a wildly stupid take like this is has to be projection right? Like how do you even come up with this?

'these trans folk aren't acting like how I imagined them, they must be fake!'

[–] gonk@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

oh no they’ve discovered that we’re all conservatives pretending to be leftists in order to spread russian disinformation ooooooooooooooh

[–] trudge@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

This whole drama comes down to mostly cis people (outside of blahj) yelling at trans people for the imagined crimes of inauthentically being their gender. New place, same old transphobia.
