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

These are the same people who will be like "Aww they're boyfriend and girlfriend!" When two five year olds of different genders are friends.

Also this dinosaur game looks fun and cute

I just posted about it, but found out my 22 year old co-worker is pregnant and the father is her 56 year old fiance who met her at age 15, 2 years after she moved here from japan. He has another kid that's older than her. This guy is the same dude who's mad about this stuff.

[–] Emanuel 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Got to wonder how the older kid feels about their father in this scenario. Anyway, that's fucked up

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah. We all feel this way at work but they were engaged prior to her joining and legally speaking it's above board and according to her "he wasn't attracted to her until she was 18". Yeah sure.

[–] Emanuel 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sure. He just hanged out around her for three years and then decided she was hot. Not sus at all for someone who had to be in their forties to hang out around a teenager

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It was at a Judo class so it wasn't specifically in a place where he was hanging around teenagers. He just found one to target there. Also you guys know this before like most of my workplace, shebtold one person who she trusted who told me cause she trusts this person cause they're about equally close as with me but I said something when she got engaged to this creep. For work stuff we've been really good co-conspirators and when she figured out that doing culinary school just got you shit gigs she radicalized job wise fast but om this angle it's rough.

[–] Emanuel 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I get it, people are multifaceted. I know some people with similar stories and all this does is concern me about how we live in a society (™) that condones pedophilia and such. It's even more concerning when you take into account that groomers tend to be the best teachers of mental gymnastics and, from what I gathered, this coworker of yours is a comrade, and we all know that it's not good for us to be versed on mental gymnastics.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. I wanted something to get angry at tonight

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Burgeoning comrade at beat, she just got the first dose of 2 years of full time work not being rewarding. Wouldn't go full comrade, but could get there. I'm grooming in the good way

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lmao so the writer is an actual groomer? That's so fucked up

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

No, I just know a guy who's cis as fuck and a reactionary in that way who literally groomed someone who I work with. Metaphorically same dude.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

She's away doing school stuff for the month and I know where they live and where he's by himself rn. I've let others know about him and his current state and address.

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 36 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I once had to take my daughter home from the playground because a whole family of people thought it was so cute that their son was trying to hold her hand after she clearly had pulled away and didn’t want to. They were trying to coach him into kissing her on the cheek. She was 3. I was lucky I kept my cool.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 20 points 7 months ago

I've been in similar situations, and I had to throw hands once to extricate my kid. I admire your restraint.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 67 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Would you want your kids playing a video game where radical trans ideology is shoved down their throats?

gigachad-hd

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 38 points 7 months ago

Legit, it gets exhausting fighting the transphobic hegemony being forced on my kids. If a video game could help out a little that’d be awesome.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 54 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I have a co-worker who came here from Japan at age 13, she is now 22 and pregnant with the child of the 56 year old man she's engaged to who met her when she was 15. But yeah, it's for sure letting kids know being trans is an option thats the grooming.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 33 points 7 months ago

Thank god she didn't play the woke trans dino video game, otherwise this story would be kind of fucked.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've told people the story and also his address and the fact she's gone for the month for school stuff cause she's also doing culinary school rn. What they do with that info and address can't be up to me

Is it even hiding behind a mask anymore to call trans people "groomers"? It feels like a somewhat socially acceptable way to say you hate transgender people.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 42 points 7 months ago

The irony is that the groomer term originally came out of feminist circles to describe the behavior of men in their mid twenties and on who manipulate underage girls into having relationships with them. And those kind of men tend to be conservative and conservative culture goes to bat defending that shit. So it’s a big ol “nuh uh you’re the groomers!”

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 34 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You mean like exactly what they did to gay people in the 80s and 90s?

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's wild to think my kindergarten teacher was flamboyant, wasn't married, I thought he was gay but as a 6 year old I was afraid to talk about it because I knew you could get in trouble for being gay. I don't know if I really knew what it even meant to be gay yet but I knew people hated it. You couldn't be an openly gay teacher, and in a lot of the US you probably still can't be.

CW: pedophile and abuseThe image of 'the pedophile' is crucial to the continued existence of patriarchy. The reason child abuse and spousal abuse has existed, and can continue to exist, is because there is essentially no where else for people to go to not be abused. Financially (and otherwise) forced to stay in a terrible situation. All this was recognized decades ago, but in order to end this terrible abuse, it would mean ending the nuclear family. Enter "the pedophile". Instead, all abuse and all issues that are systemically enabled can now be said to be the fault of a handful of bad actors. There is no child abuse or spouse abuse problem in our society. Only 'the pedophile' and you can help cast them out by simply targeting whoever we have decided to jacket as 'the pedophile' this week. Jacketing lgbtq+ people as 'pedophiles and groomers' is now basically their standard move now. It isn't just about making it socially acceptable. It's about creating a figure in people's heads who is responsible for some of the most awful crimes imaginable. Then pointing at someone and saying 'gettem boy' and watching as people go frothing at the mouth to murder someone, because they imagine them to be equivalent to the image of' the pedophile' that has been ruthlessly constructed in their head.

In a just society, Libs of Tiktok would be brutally beaten and suffer in agony in the afterlife for eternity

[–] erik_houdini@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 7 months ago

acid attack tbh imagine living your life in a body you don't recognize, dealing with always needing healthcare , she could get a feel for what the people she hates deal with.

[–] OmniDeficient@lemmygrad.ml 40 points 7 months ago

Seeing what her posts are like and hearing her speak in a recent interview, she really shouldn't be able to convince anyone. The fact that she does says a lot about the need for a solid public education system and why it has been deliberately destroyed.

[–] erik_houdini@lemmygrad.ml 38 points 7 months ago

The libs of tiktok lady should be someone with a target painted on her back.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

I've still not firgured out what they mean by "trans ideology"? Is it the same nebulous fascist nonsense like "gay agenda"? These fear mongering freaks need to be shot.

Also I'm gonna buy this, it's on my wishlist already.

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Trans ideology/gender ideology means the idea that gender and sex are different. They want everyone to confirm to their agab so anything else is "ideology." They want to not only prevent people from being trans, but also to erase the entire idea of being able to be trans.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Trans ideology/gender ideology means the idea that gender and sex are different.

One idea doesn't really constitute an ideology. These fascists always make a mountain out of a molehill

[–] AutomatedPossum@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's not just that, it's a deliberate attempt at both dehumanizing trans people and not acknowledging our existence. They avoid entirely to use any term like "trans woman" or "trans person" that refers to an actual human being targeted by them, it's always an impersonal, abstract "gender ideology" or "trans agenda" at play. The fact that their policies directly threaten the lifes and dignity of actual human beings must be tuned out at all costs, because not doing so would mean admitting that we are out here and exist. If they absolutely can't avoid referring to one of us and can't use slurs or misgendering because they need to keep the mask on, they will stick exclusively to wordings like "trans rights activist" even when that person has done zero praxis besides coming out as trans and just living their life.

[–] Hexagons@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

Is it the same nebulous fascist nonsense like "gay agenda"?

Yes. It's literally exactly that. Pretty much all the transphobic talking points are just reheated homophobia.

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

Why "trans ideology" when "trans mission" is right there??

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 36 points 7 months ago

waow-based Dino-coded and Trans-pilled.

I see two posts made on X. Kids probably shouldn't be on X or else they'd be exposed to stuff like Libs of TikTokdisgost

Farming game like harvest moon or stardew valley. Seemed kind of bare bones last I looked at it

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

It looks kind of barebones tbh. Cute designs though.
