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

Yup its Warrenposting time
Isn't ya'll more a regional dialect thing or am I mistaken?
It’s part of some regional dialects, yes. But it’s also an affectation that people have picked up from being online a lot. Some people also recommend it as a gender neutral variant of “you guys”.
ya'll is a misspelling of y'all
I do more typos than a slashfic.
Sorry you hate gender neutral pronouns.
"Hey that's fucked up that you put on blackface"
"Sorry you hate people protecting their eyes from reflected light"
Wtf it's not just a black person thing it's southern lmao
You're like violently wrong
I'm not saying the use of y'all is blackface, I'm making a comparison to show that what the dumbass above said is the exact same kind of obvious bullshit deflection these people use when they're acting in snide bad faith and want you to know it. They always try to sound folksy and relatable to give a tissue-thin veneer of humanity to their horribly inhuman ideas. "Y'all could've had a girlboss who gives the police more robots!" And then when you call them on it it it's all "Oh, why do you hate (X group I'm pretending to speak for this week)?"
I def could have made it clearer that i was making an example and not an accusation, but that would have required more words than the person I responded to is worth. You on the other hand, are chill and worth elaborating to.
It's also right, in my opinion, to connect it to race. Yes, it is a cross-race cultural thing in the South but Black people popularized it outside of the South.
If a non-Southern White person says y'all, I cringe.
oh my bad, i guess i didnt see the quotes at the time
y'all is a Southern thing of all races...
Glad to know every non-black person living south of the Mason-Dixon line is doing blackface for using a pronoun you don't like.
A lot of them are doing actual blackface though
Are you cis? Because saying this to a non-binary person on a server where 60-70% of the users are non-cis is really funny.
They've got a point though.
They don't. It's literally just cynically using trans people as a weapon to defend Warren from the very correct argument that they are feigning being normal and folksy. They don't actually give a fuck about trans people other than how they can wield us as a weapon to deflect with.
Idk if i've just been included in "you guys" one too many times or what, but I don't wanna discourage people from using gender neutral pronouns. Also, y'all is just subjectively objectively the best way to refer to a group of people other than "you fuckers". Besides, it's not like we are short on reason to make fun of Warren and her Stans.
I like you fuckers.
I like you.
