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

Akshually, sweaty, it's spelled kkkrakkker.

Frank with all due respect, don't you have E-girl posts to go Fave on X dot com

Not if you've seen Frank's twitter

My twitter was banned years ago for calling for the immediately and summary execution of all marketers and advertisers by means of dragging them out in to the street and shooting them in the mouth.

But aside from that yes I support and uplift E-girl thought.

You know what's funny? I have a bunch of mutuals on twitter with onlyfans and I rarely if ever interact with that side of their content nor did I ever follow anyone for that reason, we just followed each other because we are cool communists and talk about cool communist stuff, so every now and then I get a post on my feed that's just "here's a picture of my ass" and I'm like cool but I wanna see more posts about mass transit and throwing billionaires into a volcano.

I have subscribed to the OF of some folks i followed on twitter, but most of them it was the same as you, they were just cool posters. The number of leftists out there doing some form of sex work is non-trivial, you're going to run in to a bunch of folks doing sw sooner or later.

is being an e-girl sex work? I feel like it's not, necessarily, but it is adjacent to being professionally naked on the internet, but I don't know what you'd call the overlap of those two fields. Something like attention work? idk.\

those "cultivate a parasocial relationship" jobs are cousin to sex work i suppose.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah. I'm sure some academic has a word that ecompasses podcasts, influencers, make up tutorial people, E-girls, professionally online naked people, and @dril, because they all seem like they're doing a similar thing, but search me if I know what it is.

hyperfemme goth aesthetic with pastel tones. it leans young so there's an implication of pedophilia.

I generally ask this question as bait because it forces people to reckon with the inherent misogyny that exists within the phrase. I think they've been banned already though which kills my fun.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

oh sorry I misunderstood the purpose of the question

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nooo don't apologise. It's just interesting watching people squirm to describe it without saying they're fake gamer "th*ts" or something. My follow up question is usually about why they're E-girls and not E-women.

Imagine an e-boy but with boobs

Imagine an e-girl but without boobs

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Must e-girls always have boobs?

What about E-enbys?

E-boys/girls but only one boob.
