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

(dunk tank for the alt-right youtuber, not the OP who collected the information and posted it)

TLDR: 14/88 memes, Hitler's b'day memes, Tucker Carlson watch parties, and following Proud Boys and Libs of Tiktok.

Never was that big into Internet Historian, but I guess I'll remove the few videos I had in my watch later and tell youtube to stop recc'ing the channel now.

Whew. I guess you either go the idubbbz route and apologize/repent for all your past edginess and denounce that version of you and all the fans who still hold on to it or you become a nazi.

Well, there is a third option. You could be like H3 and seem all progressive and reformed till Israel starts genociding kids and then its "wat about hummus tho" and both-siding it till you've purged the leftist audience you were trying to build.

Can you tell I'm disappointed and still bitter?

He was pretty openly alt-right adjacent earlier on. A friend of mine who eventually stopped talking to me because I asked him to cool it with the fash rhetoric recommended him to me, lol

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah? Dude was obviously a 4chan chud, just look at his old videos.

EVERY internet personality is a nazi until proven otherwise. Youtube is CHUD Hollywood

There are so many of these "barely hiding their fash levels" YouTube commentary accounts. EmpLemon, Oki, Turkey Tom. Those are just off the top of my head.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 0 points 9 months ago (3 children)

What's wrong with Oki?

I recognize the rest, considering:

Turkey Tom obviously had an anti-SJW stance in his video (eg. his video on a small concert regarding Negative EXP), and

EmpLemon hating on current news entertainment media like Jimmy Kimmel

But what makes Emp Lemon and Oki fash adjacent?

[–] Esoteir@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

okay yeah googled it and emp lemon just haphazardly throws happy merchant memes into their videos cringe

emp lemon did the classic white dude complaining about the concept of privilege video https://yewtu.be/watch?v=fj1EvAMoTqI

and the mac tonight video last year where they praise the alt-right for making the character unmarketable https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Jp35RSGt_Dg&t=1462

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

wait what's wrong with hating on news entertainment media? didn't jimmy kimmel do blackface among a whole other slew of sleazy bigoted shit?

[–] Esoteir@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

nothing wrong with that in particular, but they used the happy merchant meme in the jimmy kimmel video

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=uLTeMC81FV0&t=547s

also from the same video

"because they genuinely believe that the color of your skin somehow makes you privileged. This toxic belief system is destroying Western civilization and it's seeping into some of the most powerful institutions of society. Some of these liberals certainly belong in an institution."

A shit ton of whites are Nazis. You just have to say the right thing about white people to get them to show themselves

[–] windowlicker@hexbear.net 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

this was so unsurprising, i knew this immediately after the bike lock fugitive video that justified the guy's doxxing because "lol he looks like soyboy cuck leftie beta nu male!"

[–] Poogona@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah the bike lock fugitive one was the reveal for me too

Pretty much yeah. I enjoyed a number of his videos since it was sort of nostalgic to relive Kony 2012, fyre festival, leroy jenkins, some of that pre-gamergate 4chan stuff, but yeah I pegged him as a 4chan nazi immediately just based on what he chose to cover. idubbbz, joji, tyler the creator, earl sweatshirt - that's really the way to do it. Recognize you were wrong but also young, and move forward.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wait, Tyler the Creator? What the what now?

[–] TupamarosShakur@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

yeah I was just naming people who I associate with edgy humor and "shock humor" who have drastically changed their images. Those 4 were the first 4 who came to mind
