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

Fascist's choice of victim is arbitrary. It's informed by the social norms of the day, but they can pick anyone to be the villains of their brutal passion play. It doesn't matter that she's cis. That's not what this is or ever has been about. Fascists, to fulfill their ideology, need an enemy who is external to them, who they can position as a strong, virulent threat to society but also as pathetic and weak. They pick some group in society that lacks the social cachet to defend themselves, then pump that group up as a threat. Then the fash destroy their designated victims so the fash can feel strong defeating their enemies.
They don't care about biology or science or gender or anything. They care about being strong, and being afraid, and about finding joy in hurting people who can't fight back.
