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 guess because my previous comment was racist here's a cute cat

unga bunga

Get that chanlord "totally not racist" dogwhistling shit out of here.

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

It's just so out there racist I can't even take it seriously lol

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm sorry I legit had no idea. I just thought it was a way to talk about cave men. I mostly associate it with my friend who played elden ring and went full physical.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So you're claiming it's just a Heated Gamer Moment that required a racism? Never heard that before! doubt heated-gamer-moment

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What? I'm just saying that the original post said troglodyte. When I googled that it said cavemen. Then I remember when elden ring came out people were making "unga bunga" jokes. If we really want to get technical the first time I heard that phrase was in a SNES game called Chuck Rock where you played as a caveman. Please explain to me how this is racist because I'm drawing blanks, since you made the claim.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, surely just cavemen with no other context and no political ideology tied to freeze-gamer culture. It came out of a vacuum, woven of pure wholesome gamer mirth.

Please explain to me

Instead of even considering that it it already has been recognized as a racist dogwhistle, you're going there? Christ.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Sure, ok whatever you caught me I'm just a racist piece of shit because you said so. I don't even know what the culture you're talking about is. I provided my side and reasoning. At this point I'm assuming you're just fucking with me.

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity

You literally made an accusation provided nothing to support your claim, assumed I even use 4chan, and when I explained my reasoning you made even further accusations. I wanted to have a productive conversation and find out from you why you think it's racist because I don't know I'd rather not be racist.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

you caught me

I did.

You're doing racist shit while pretending to not only have never known the racist context but also refuse to acknowledge every single person that already said "that's fucking racist."

I wanted to have a productive conversation

No you didn't. You said edgy racist shit early on and then cowered backward from there like the crybully you are.

Only you and one other person said that. Who is everyone, I don't know how I can be more genuine. I even didn't Google searched the phrase by itself and could only find the very first instance of it being Bugs fixing Bunny being racist but words evolve and change. I think I'm gonna block this instance entirely since everyone here seems to be angry fuckheads. Cavemen aren't inherently racist. The introduction of it as a meme has no basis in racism. Stop putting words in my mouth. So yeah I live in a vacuum because I don't like to hang out in hate dens and try to generally good to people. I did give valid reasons and responses you're just an asshole. So this is my reaction.

Again, instead of correcting yourself and moving on you're writing paragraphs of crybully blubbering because your racist dogwhistle was called out as the racist dogwhistle it always was.

For all you pretend to be an innocent smol bean that had no idea that what you said was racist, you shot down your own pretending attempt by refusing to even consider not saying that racist dogwhistle in the future and instead are going full debatebro about it.

I think I'm gonna block this instance entirely

That's the only good thing you can possibly contribute here, so go for it! party-parrot

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Read my post history then, see what type of person I am through that and not a fucking shitty Internet joke from 3 years ago. Why would I backtrack and apologize for something I don't understand? If I did offend anyone I'm truly sorry and please let me know if you were offended.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Still waiting for you to block this instance. The already-deleted-by-mods edgy racist shit you posted (that you're still being a debatebro about after the fact) was plenty for me.

If I did offend anyone I'm truly sorry and please let me know if you were offended

What a craven slimy politician's apology while also refusing to acknowledge what you said was racist and always was.

You didn't come out of a time capsule from the 90s. Your context for "Unga Bunga" wasn't just from a 90s video game (that game didn't have the words "Unga Bunga" anywhere in it, either). Your lie was blatant. Stop it.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe because I don't know what the fuck you want me to say. You made accusations at me, my original post at least I can see it. I did research.

Here is my research path. Where there was one racist ass doll on Etsy I found but no other instances of it.

Here's my search history. I don't know what the fuck Else you want. Everyone says it's racist but I just want to know why. And yes this instance is blocked but I'm still getting messages.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Still waiting for you to block this instance.

Your "research" is all ass covering that happened long after the racist shit you already said. It's ass covering, it's blatant, and for all your pretenses of innocence you're just digging yourself in deeper.

Spare us all your melodramatic woe-is-me crybully theater and just go away already.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I fixed the original fucking post you ass. Hope you feel better about yourself.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Hope you feel better about yourself.

Your concern trolling attempt is noted and will be given all the consideration it deserves. 🚽

I fixed the original fucking post

Again, that is you covering your ass after you said the racist dogwhistle. Everything you've done after that has been ass covering, and at no point could you acknowledge that, yes, it is racist dogwhistling. If you were oh so innocent you wouldn't have wasted hours trying to bullshit your way out of it.

Still waiting for you to block this instance, by the way.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Don't worry about it. That user has a tendency to misinterpret communication and then stick to that argument, nitpicking select parts of what you write in order to unveil whatever it is he believes you're conceiling from him. Best thing to do is just not engage.
It's great when it's against chuds, but then again it often ends up just being someone who disagrees with him about a minor thing.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He seems like a great advocate for this instance. /S

I decided not to forsake an entire instance because of one person. He's too hypocritical so I'm probably just gonna block him if he engaged with me again.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, I'm glad people aren't letting bigotry slide, but yeah it's not super nice how a misunderstanding can devolve to weird antagonism. I'm sorry that happened to you.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I do wish they'd at least acknowledge that they jumped to conclusions like I tried to explain. More for them then me.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, you and me both. It's a whole thing, trust me when I say the best you can do is just not engage. I've tried to point out to them before that they seem to do this, and that they habour grudges as a result, but it just ends up with him calling me a concern troll, or saying that I'm accusing him of being mentally ill or something.
Consider using the block feature.

Edit: oooh! You’re a racist piece of shit!

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

It's like pizzaing when you should be french frying but like 100 times more racist

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please help me understand read my fuckin post history. I searched is it racist, offensive and all other stuff and honestly the stuff I found was from the 1950s. It's not reductive or hurting anyone.

Hexbear blocks externally hosted images, no way am I looking at whatever you just posted lol

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh fuck my bad. It was an image of my wrist with my enby and trans wristband. Been enby since 2020.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I can't find your comment in the modlog anymore to check your exact wording, but opening what I think was an ironic "I'm just kidding I don't believe this" comment with "hello fellow enby" really threw me off and made me assume bad faith because either you were an enby and it was sincere somehow, or it was ironic and you were mocking being enby. Especially in the context of this post being someone misgendering me, I may have been sensitive about it and misinterpreted your comment, all this aside from the terms you used and say you've learned not to.

Anyway, this is the comment I was writing when I checked your post history and ended up commenting in that other thread, feel no need to respond to this comment here, I just needed to finish getting the thought out
