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

so-true-fem I won't feel safe until there is a man with a gun standing outside my bathroom for vagina inspections!

I just really don't understand why J.K. Rowling doesn't keep her unpopular opinions to herself and just enjoy having lots of money and a franchise that was ripe for kicking off an extended universe (but now probably tanked).

As far as women's rights go, trans people in women's restrooms is one of the least-existing and fakest problems you could possibly experience as a woman.

There are so many horrible things happening to women literally everywhere and she's just being an idiot and sucking up all the attention and energy away from solving real problems. She's just such an asshole pretending like she's doing anything for women.

I've discovered over the years that chuds literally can't help it. Anyone who holds abhorrent beliefs are fundamentally unable to keep them in, and the beliefs will slip through eventually.

I can't even remember the full video, but I remember watching some otherwise apolitical YouTube channel, and out of the blue the host made some crack about "liberals" (in the chud sense) but with some absolute venom. They just can't help it.

The episodes of Behind the Bastards on Scott Addams are great about this. All the guy had to do was sit back and enjoy his unearned millions. Jim Davis could be a holocaust denier but no one hates him because he's not stupid enough to tell everyone about it

Adams will forever be weird to me, because the guy early on was very much a vegan lib

i hate this essentialist shit where they act like trans women always 100% look like men, drives me up the wall

no, ive been gendered she/her by randos basically my whole adult life. to act like i look like a man is gaslighting me and yourself. ugh internet-delenda-est

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago (3 children)

No one is ever able to show the proof of her hatred

doubt

I seen that shit even though I avoid Twitter like the plague

[–] echognomics@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yet she never, once, showed hatred towards trans people, she never wished the death of any trans person.

Good to know that never having wished death on any individual member of a oppressed group is basically equivalent to not showing hatred towards said oppressed group. I'm sure that if a 18th century slaveowner didn't say out loud to another person that he wished that all his plantation slaves would spontaneously drop dead, that must then mean that he is not a hateful racist.

Bigotry for these people can only mean being an out-and-out Nazi, making public speeches about how all the untermensch must be crushed underfoot and herded into gas chambers en masse. Because that really shows how good and virtuous of a human being you are - not being a literal Nazi.

Unless you show them the Nazis who are funding TERF groups and vocally supporting JK Rowling. Then the concern trolling begins.

people who think transphobia is impossible because any harm done to trans people is good and just love to say things like "um but can you prove that she's a transphobe?"

[–] windowlicker@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

she's a classic case of "just asking questions!", dogwhistling hate but framing it as just harmless curiosity about trans people in society.

You are my shero, Joanne

(Because who can genuinely make the difference between a real and genuine trans woman, and a man pretending just to enter Women's spaces?)

This is rich coming from the “I can always tell” crowd

Every time she cuts her hair now it's like she's beheading her.

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wtf? Also "she-ro" is fucking dumb. "Her" is in the word already, dip shits.

I've seen more and more people use "shero" unironically as if Heroine didn't exist and when I am General Secretary the purge will be swift and merciless.
