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

They picked probably the worst possible example to prove how disconnected we are. Shoulda gone with the rock stacking struggle sesh smh
Yeah there's so many things they could have focused on, like outdoor cats vs indoor cats, rock stacking, our extremely weird in jokes, but they chose the one thing, which isn't even a general position on here, just the opinion of one user, in which their views line up with societies general outlook.
Has real "I'm pro sex work because I want to have sex with these women" vibes.
Painting the commodification of sex as emancipatory is peak radlib shit.
Real "touch grass" moment. 90% of people understand that decent humans do not enjoy coerced intimacy.
I like to point people to the "reviews" left by german johns or this essay by Esperanza Fonseca.
Those "reviews" are vomit inducing 🤮
I can't speak for the Hexbear line, but the Lemmygrad line is strictly anti-John.
as any socialist space should be. im not gonna save the feelings of comrades who have solicited prostitution. if you have ever been a john, you have raped. self crit abt it, crying abt it here alienates sex workers who have to live every day with their experiences of being hyper objectified and regularly coerced into sexual acts
frfr, it shouldnt be controversial in a socialist space to say that johns are rapists. they are economically coercing ppl to perform sex acts. if labor under capitalism is coercive, johns are rapists
society’s general outlook is anti sex work. considering johns as rapists is basic solidarity w sex workers
