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

Okay they can't possibly be using the fake "they have an advantage" shit for this can they? Its not like pool needs any massive amount of strength and endurance.

TIL pool is a gendered sport

pool is as much of a sport as cornhole is which means not at all.

Oh and that's a bad miss.

Adding another thing to the list of stuff that trans people are just innately better at 💅

Lots of pool leagues where I live. Not surprised whatsoever by a reactionary participating in them. This person would be seen as an SJW for giving a shit by half the people I know who play pool regularly.

Daily Mail donning a tweed suit and bow tie and singing "You Got Trouble", I see.

Well there’s obviously no intelligence test to become good at pool.

quote tweets on this post were deeply depressing. terf island must go

Beyond the obvious shitty TERF aspect, is anyone else bothered by "women pool star"? Even "female pool star" would be preferable to that abomination of grammar.
