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

So that she could use the name of the "inventor" of gay conversion therapy.
Robert Galbraith, son of a jackal
The first book in this series was about a man who dresses as a woman to kill women.
No joke here. How do I make this any more absurd than it already is?
and also it was published before she was an "out" transphobe -- although i remember trans people were pointing out her transphobia for years before people started to notice and it became her entire identity

She chose to be this person. Incredible.
Unfortunately not that surprising, given that she's also coded a werewolf character as a bug chaser and groomer.
she made being a werewolf a metaphor for aids, which is already fucked up given the inherently predatory nature of werewolves, but at least the first book where that's a thing features a nice guy who gets kicked out of his job unjustly because he's actually safe around kids. but then she made the second of the 2 named werewolves in the series a very literal child predator
