The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.

Tbh this whole post is a goldmine of cis lemmitors discussing how overly sensitive they think trans people are around pronouns.

I am literally the cissiest person in the planet, but I will try to make spaces safe for trans people, for no other reason than anti-trans people are the worst humans imaginable.

I mean, same, but also because I love our trans comrades cat-trans

You got a half dozen listed acceptable pronouns and they still misgendered you? That’s impressive.

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

OPs app didn't display my pronouns, it honored the newlines I put in there

I know, saw that and was like, wtf. You have some of the most pronouns listed I have seen, and they somehow defaulted to he/him? That's ridiculous.

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

To be entirely fair, I have been fucking about with my display name (adding newlines in it), and the user who got banned seems to have been using an app that was affected by this

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Ah, gotcha. Still, the ones defending the misgendering are fucked.

Still, that's good information to have, glad OP didn't seem to do it out of malice and owned up to it.

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, i get that people make mistakes, may not see pronoun tags etc., where it gets interesting is how people react when you mention to them they misgendered somebody and ask them to correct it. Like, you'll literally post "hey, this person's pronouns are (... / ...), your post misgenders that person, can you please edit this?" and they'll immediately go into berserk mode. It would take literal seconds to fix, but instead people like that will go and write post after post about how you're violating their freeze peach, and then on how rude it is to call them out on their transphobia, ad nauseam until they get the banhammer. And then they go to some instance where they aren't banned yet and whine about how fragile and mean hexbear users are.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Exactly, libs take one scratch and join the fash. It separates the well-intentioned from the people who were always internally transphobic.

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And none of them seem to get that they got banned for doubling and trippling down on the misgendering instead of "for just accidentally making a tiny mistake".

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

I think they do get it usually, they just twist it when malding to stir up a hate-storm

[–] roux@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

That motherfucker wrote a whole ass book and segmented it with a "therefore" like it's some kind of master thesis on gender instead of just correcting theirself, didn't they?

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

Misgendering the idea vs misgendering the trans. Perchance

"Calling attention to my unaddressed racism makes you the real racist"-ass gender politics.

Some people care way more about feeling like they're in the right than doing what's right.

"Calling attention to my unaddressed racism makes you the real racist"-ass gender politics.

Unironically how my Lemmy.ml account got banned from Playstation@Lemmy.zip, the mod made a post complaining about DEI in God of War so I called them out on it and they banned me for "racism." They ended up abandoning the community and said that I "proved them right."

Some people care way more about feeling like they're in the right than doing what's right.

100%, it's incredibly easy to not be transphobic.

Would be hillarious if our mods just preemptively ban everybody who agrees with that dork.

The lengths people will go to in order to defend being a dickhead to marginalized groups rather than just simply not being a dickhead is astonishing sometimes

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

It’s absurd! A simple apology does a lot more than a chud-esque explanation and revision of events. If you have already offended people, explaining why you offended them is not going to fix it. Just apologize and sit the fuck down!

yeah i saw that whole screed, atleast the op seemed to take something good out of it, but that whole thread is filled with cissues

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

Says everyone should default to gender neutral language online and uses that as a reason why it's okay to not use gender neutral language online.

That's.... certainly a take

[–] anarcho_blinkenist@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

hey chaos not only is that a weird contorted logic to whine about pronouns and pretend you have real reasons to do it


you also type like shit. what are you even doing? When I'm saying your sentences are incomprehensibly scatterbrained and run-on, shape the fuck up

I hereby offer anime avatars an apology. AI avatars produce a whole new level of cringe I didn't know was even possible.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

I read more from that same poster.

Whoa there those are big words for an UFO sighting are you a conspiracy theorist or something? Lmao

So you basically threw away everything that I said and fixated on the only word you don't understand to attack with the only implanted knowledge you have that sits next to it in your brain folder lol

Your argument is for the people of the rainbow, my argument is for everyone all the same as I said before if you don't mind sharing all about yourself to everyone else then why would you mind the greedy corporations helping you out when selling your data it's all the same they be sharing the same data as you want to force share with everyone but just not sharing any profit with you because you too want your data to be shared anyway, on the other hand there are people who simply don't care wether you're a he, she or even it as long as you have your personal thoughts and interests that's all that matters and everyone is all the same online for us gender isn't all that makes up a person and therefore it isn't a big deal to innocently perfectly quote an old meme to someone from the different gender and get insulted and banned then because you didn't change the quote to fit their gender.

this is Lemmy after all not Reddit, why come here if you don't want privacy I started to have this thought that you're just on all social platforms to spread knowledge about your identity, pronouns and the gay people existence and only that, no matter where you are it's all the same for you "I only want everyone know that I'm not a he/him I'm a she/her I absolutely want nothing more from this place other than that " to be honest I wouldn't judge any instance owner to start helping you further spread knowledge about the rainbow people and make personal profit out of it by selling all of your data since you not just don't mind but also want everyone to acknowledge it, again this is not Reddit this is Lemmy, the first people who built this concept didn't think of making it just a social platform like all they made it a safe place away from personal greed where everyone is free to keep their privacy to their own with all the rights to be anonymous, you guys just came here and started forcing rules around forgetting the first concept build of this place, some instances 'added' the ability to have pronouns as a 'feature' not all instances have it or are able to see it so just don't forget this fact. And I have no problem acknowledging your existence I just have a problem with you forcing your "obvious pronouns so don't misgender me" rules forgetting the main reason that had this place to exist in the first place.

What a gigantic Reddit-brained piece of shit.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Jesus, appreciate these comments. I couldn't even parse the argument this clown is trying to make. I legit thought I might be having a stroke trying to follow the thought, because it's ~80% word salad. I weep for the people this person emails if they have an email job.

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago

The word salad is mostly due to them starting to realize they are wrong and don’t know how to make it right without being on the “losing end” of the discussion. A simple apology means they lost an argument on the internet, which your average redditor cannot accept.

Instead they will go into a lengthy nonsensical explanation that eventually ends in the victim of their transgression being wrong.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 20 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

“Get everyone to use gender neutral language”, as though that isn’t a potentially much bigger reach than getting people to respect binary sex where it’s manually specified in fairly straightforward language

People shit themselves at a they/them…

That reads like it was written by a bad chatbot. Line what would happen if you just entered only suggested words on your phone

[–] frauddogg@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

This whole shit reads like simulation theory but for liberals scratched by trans comrades. They are a breath and a half from 'we're all NPCs here so your gender shouldn't and doesn't matter to me'.

This is unintelligible. You're not James Joyce, stop writing like the last chapter of Ulysses.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago

tbh

Once again "to be honest" is being used as a sophistic attempt to transmute an opinion (or a lie) into "honesty," which is to say, to some incontrovertible fact. I hate that Reddit-brained shit and I've hated it for a long time.

tbh the Drej Queen of the Drej Tank is real and hates this shit too.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I saw that thread and it was incredibly stupid. "Of course I need to call you a man, the reddit meme that I dare not tweak at all says so! I can't just say woman or say something original!"

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The OP is worse though,

Do you think the commentary on the Israelis controlling the US via their married contacts in the American gay Mafia is me propogandizing to white wash Israel?

(Can't be seen from hexbear, he has been banned, here is a link to lemmy.ml)

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

ToucheGoodSir

Is that just mask-off Redditism or Redditism with extra irony layers, which is just more Redditism?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Just stop using gender specific pronouns at all. Makes things much simpler

Just stop posting concern trolling shit and fuck off forever, concern trolls. Makes things much simpler.
