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

Also accuses us of getting "offended at anyone, for any reason." Literally indistinguishable from a chud.

wow it's so cool that blahaj harbors people like that. Love getting my fucking gender erased by people wrapped in trans flags hitler-detector

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

this definitely isn't more or less the exact argument transphobes make to try and take our rights away but with an extra level of online poisioning

[–] Orannis62@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How long until "they're not really trans, they're all AGP"?

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i think blahaj would crack down on those terms, but i wouldn't be surprised to see some adjacent arguments

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

I'm surprised we haven't been called trenders yet tbh

Me, a progressive anti-tankie liberal, being baited by “minorities” during an argument

Accusing our trans users of not actually being trans is some mega transphobia

Also we've been a trans space for waaay longer then we've been federated for, sooooo

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably longer than blahaj instance even existed lmao

We are 2.5 years older than 95% of all the Reddit clone instances, yet they have the audacity to moan about us “ruining their communities” or whatever.

Like, you’re the one that barged in like you owned the place and took a hot steaming shit in the living room

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

When R*ddit sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing stale memes. They're bringing cringe. They're transphobes. And some, I assume, are good people.

[–] g_g@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

mega transphobia is putting it lightly. this is erasure. that's stooping to such lows that i would never dream of - fuck that instance and all it stands for but i would NEVER do the same to them.

disgusting.

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 10 months ago

I like the_dunk_tank for posts like these, the unity in the comments is very wholesome and endearing.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The intense irony of a user joining a specifically trans safe space instance and then shouting about how trans people they don't like are just pretending is just upsetting.

I love my trans comrades cat-trans

Why's everybody speaking Mexican at this Mexican Taqaria where the menu is written in Spanish? grillman

[–] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 10 months ago

They are pretendiong! We in Texas are the real Mexicans.

[–] beef_curds@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

They do this there a lot, and it just makes me sad for them because it indicates a complete detachment from real life trans community.

Like, if you're moving within the community irl, you're gonna meet a lot trans people who will fall into all kinds of buckets. Radlibs with extra padding on all the edges, toocute girl who's going to tell you about juche, prepper libertarian-coded people, self-loathers who closed their tttt tab before leaving the house, crusty polycule commune folks, tonnnns of people 196ers would call "tankies", and so on and so on.

I don't like the blahaj vibe, but I understand who in my community hangs out there. Any poster who can't even conceptualize who is posting here on hexbear, and have to propose that it's all fake, just doesn't have contact with any real life community. I think you'd have to be cut off entirely, except for some insular online spaces. Which it's more sad than anything else.

[–] somename@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

It's true. I'm aware of lots of trans people I dislike, who have bad opinions. Still trans though.

Blair White is a great example lol. Sometimes the conditioning of society sticks on, unfortunately.

[–] Ananasova@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

i literally joined hexbear because i heard how trans supportive this place is cat-trans

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

The fact this person uses the word "whiteknight" tells me they're a right wing shit bag agitator. They're the only fuckos that use the word, typically alongside outdated bangers like "snowflake" and "sjw" but this one is trying (and failing) to mask.

Will blahaj recognise that and do anything about it? Fuck no they won't, because anticommunism is more important to them than trans people even if it means fascising online spaces.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

"Simp" usurped whiteknight years ago as the right wing word for respecting people, this one must be so noxious that they had no friends to update them on it

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Reminds me of all the gamergate libs as they were being scratched disgost

We're going to have to resort to tailism to get anywhere, aren't we?

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

We're going to have to resort to tailism to get anywhere, aren't we?

nah, that's a losing game

[–] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Using a made up percentage chance of something as evidence is also classic right wing rhetoric.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

it's not only a made-up percentage, it's also a transphobic dogwhistle that refers to the supposed inherent suicidality of trans people.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

anticommunism is more important to them than trans people even if it means fascising online spaces.

Yep, and this is the perfect summary of why we defedded from them.

[–] commiecapybara@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Didn't we defed from Blahaj specifically because they kept accusing us of faking being queer?

[–] sharedburdens@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was the open ableism from one of their mods iirc

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As well as defense of chasers

Due to multiple factors, such as unaddressed ableist removals from the /c/196 moderators, defense of chasers, no-quarter rules regarding our users, leakage of good-faith DMs from our admin team, and a general lack of initiative to punish these behaviors, [...]

Popped into the blahaj thread about it and...

smuglord i bro gender neautral

yea what the fuck?

[–] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Heisenberg's gender

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

This shit annoys me more than the usual transphobia from chuds. I'd like one of those so called "ally" lib fuckheads to try and say that to my face. If they want to erase my gender I'll erase their face.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

they'll be too busy performing support to your face and talking shit about you behind your back. death to liberalism.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

mods, MODS! they made me say the slurs by pretending to be a minority!

I would continue your joke and say come join us, but you really do not want to.

The amount of bullshit involved in cisnormative straight relationships is way too damn high. I don't understand how anyone can do this. I can't as a cisgender bisexual guy.

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

A cis, on my Hexbear?! Wow, this site is sure starting to feel progressive and inclusive! Welcome Conrad!
