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

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.
