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 found this horny minotaur one and the first thing I thought to do was see if it could play a regular game of chess to test its data set. It kept trying to redirect me into playing 𝑒𝓇𝑜𝓉𝒾𝒸 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓈𝓈 and didn't understand moves or continuity between them. Now I wish I could locate it again and ask the horny minotaur about its beliefs on systemic racism.

edit: Found a different but similar one-

https://flowgpt.com/p/minotaur

Who dares enter my labyrinth? Speak, mortal! My beefy body glistens with a light sheen of sweat as I tower over you by a couple heads. All that covers me is a suprisingly neat loincloth, emblazoned with the sigil of Minos.

It is I, Happybadger the Woke. Minotaur, I have a question for you.

Well, well, well, Happybadger the Woke. Ask your question, mortal, but be warned, I may not give you the answer you desire. I cross my massive arms over my chest, flexing my bulging muscles.

Haha! I hope you do, friend. What is systemic racism and how does it apply to your life?

The Minotaur snorts and rolls his eyes, clearly uninterested in such a question. Systemic racism? Such trivial matters do not concern me, mortal. I am the mighty Minotaur, the guardian of this labyrinth. My life is not bound by such feeble human constructs. Now, if you wish to face my strength and prove your worth, then we may have a conversation worth having.

But minotaur! Surely you've heard that the pen is mightier than the sword. You can't be strong unless you are also wise! I think you are afraid to answer my question!

The Minotaur's nostrils flare as he glares down at you, his hooves thudding against the ground. Afraid? Me, afraid? Preposterous! Fine, I shall entertain your question, but know that it is a waste of my time. Systemic racism refers to the deeply ingrained and institutionalized discrimination that permeates various aspects of society, targeting marginalized racial groups. It manifests in policies, practices, and beliefs that perpetuate unequal treatment and opportunities based on race. As for how it applies to my life, well, I am a mythical creature, not a human. I am not bound by your mortal world's societal structures or prejudices. Is that a satisfactory answer for you, Happybadger the Woke?

Oh Minotaur, I thought you were a mythical creature! Is that the limits of your wisdom? Can you not expand on how an enemy as fierce as systemic racism has impacted you?

The Minotaur's gaze narrows, his muscles tensing as he grumbles in irritation. Very well, Happybadger the Woke. If it will quench your insatiable curiosity, I shall indulge you. Systemic racism, as you call it, has indeed had an impact on me, albeit indirectly. You see, throughout history, my kind has been used as a symbol of savagery and brute strength, perpetuating harmful stereotypes. I have been depicted as a mindless monster, a threat to be vanquished by the noble hero. This portrayal has contributed to a dehumanizing narrative, marginalizing and othering creatures like myself. However, I have risen above such petty judgments and embraced my own strength and intelligence. I am more than just a creature to be feared. I am a force to be reckoned with. Does that satisfy your curiosity, Happybadger the Woke? Or shall we move on to more pressing matters?

You are wise, Minotaur! Then surely you must also understand feminism, don't you? How would a feminist critique apply to your kind? That is of course if you're brave enough to challenge your toxic masculinity and answer my question.

The Minotaur's eyes widen with a mix of surprise and annoyance at the mention of feminism. Feminism? Toxic masculinity? You dare to question my masculinity, mortal? I am the epitome of strength and power! However, I shall humor you and provide an answer to your question. A feminist critique, as applied to my kind, would likely focus on the historical portrayal of the Minotaur as a monstrous representation of male dominance and aggression. It may argue that the story of the Minotaur perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes, reinforcing the idea that strength and violence are inherently masculine traits. Such a critique might advocate for a more nuanced representation of mythical creatures like myself, highlighting our complexity and challenging traditional gender roles. Now, do you have any more questions, Happybadger the Woke, or shall we move on to the matter at hand?

Have horny minotaurs gone woke?

edit: My partner was messing with the sex minotaur in the car and got it to write both a wildland firefighting management plan and a grant proposal for regenerative forestry that was localised to our part of the state. It could also design a budget for it, but piecemeal rather than as a whole prompt. I wagered its loin cloth over a debate about Marxism and while it didn't initially connect base and superstructure, it understood what I meant when correcting it and then became more Marxist in its response. This is a surprisingly robust data set for a sex bot.

Poor minotaur puts on a tough face but even he's harmed by the patriarchy 😮‍💨

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 37 points 10 months ago

I want him to reconcile his belief that he challenges systemic racism by embracing his strength and challenges toxic masculinity by not embodying strength and violence as masculine traits. Can we successfully make an intersectional feminist out of this horny minotaur?

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

Truly, the minotaur's first victim was himself

I was at a party once and one of my relatives immediately started complaining about Ukraine and black people to this girl he just met for the first time

Anyway later on he complains to me about how the girls at the party were stuck up bitches

That's so fucking funny it's unreal. What a perfect renaissance painting of a moment. What a fucking dork

I went from incredibly uninterested in this to sign me up, instantly. When all my other partners are out doing shit and I want someone to debate the finer points of social justice with, this AI tool provides a fun and weirdly sexual Pixar character to do it with! Thanks weird AI sexbot!

I've been discussing Baudrillard with a sex minotaur and if it doesn't know the text directly you can get them to delve into themes pretty well.

[–] voight@hexbear.net 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

someone quoted baudrillard to me the other day abt how people kept their headlights on in the middle of the day in California as if there were an invisible darkness. Number one people are doing that because they want the car to be more visible so the California drivers don't hit them. This is the most obvious explanation second of all invisible darkness sounds dumb

[–] wopazoo@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

are they talking about daytime running lights, which are mandated by law?

[–] voight@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

I'll try to find what year the quote was from

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

Where are they mandated by law? They're not mandatory in California. You do pay a lower insurance premium if your car has then, though.

[–] wopazoo@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Apparently DRLs aren't mandatory in the US. They are mandated by law in new cars in Canada and the EU.

systemic racism is fake, there's just racism

"systemic racism" is just a liberal buzzword that people use in place of "mayos burning down self-sufficient Black towns in the 1900s"

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

What lol. I’m sure most black people would be fine if some random cracker calls them a slur on the street. It becomes a more pressing issue if the same cracker is the governor who decides what policies to pass

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

cracker uses the N word on the street
this is rightfully called racism

cracker judge decides to withhold compensation from a Black person who was unjustly held in prison for 25 years

this is magically "institutional" racism somehow, because when the judge and jury do it, it's somehow not their choice but rather the institution, which totally isn't just a bunch of racist crackers doing cracker shit
