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 83 points 2 years ago (4 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

[–] sharedburdens@hexbear.net 81 points 2 years ago

It's literally that, it's so fucking obvious I don't understand how someone can say something like that on that instance and not catch a ban. Turning a blind eye is a common reflex for libs.

a trans person ragebaited me into admitting i'm a transphobic tit, whaaaa 🦈😭🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 88 points 2 years ago (2 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

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 They're the only fuckos that use the word, typically alongside outdated bangers like "snowflake" and "sjw" but this one is trying (and failing) to mask.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 60 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"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

squidward-nervous tfw i'm in a "making shit up" competition and my opponent is a radlib

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 67 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The funniest part is is when they make shit up about right wingers. Right wing politicians are usually so cartoonishly evil that there is no need to make up stuff about them, yet the radlibs do it anyways. See Russiagate as an example.

cool! love to be accused of pretending to be trans, something that definitely isn't mostly leveraged against trans women to accuse them of just being men trying to enter women's spaces!

[–] beef_curds@hexbear.net 77 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 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.

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.

I guess the crying myself to sleep and the literal heartache I get isn't because of what I see in the mirror! And the upheaval of my well established life is for funzies. Brb, gotta go tell my therapist that she diagnosed me wrong too.

If this jackass ever reads this thread - log off and rethink your life.

Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. They're willing to invalidate the fact that I'm trans simply because I'm from this site? People seriously need to grow the fuck up and touch grass. Jesus fucking christ, get a life, kid.

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 73 points 2 years ago

Wow blahaj is a pretty transphobic space if they tolerate that shit.

[–] commiecapybara@hexbear.net 72 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] sharedburdens@hexbear.net 72 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was the open ableism from one of their mods iirc

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 72 points 2 years 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, [...]

Quite literally one of the last posts on the old subreddit before reddit-logo pulled the plug on us was a heartfelt thank you from a trans person for being a place that was open and welcoming to them.

Just some food for thought.

Transphobia is when you call out chasers for being chasers and weird objectifying weirdos.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 61 points 2 years ago

Transphobia is having 3 trans comms and required pronouns so everyone knows how committed to the bit Hexbear is.

Nothing says "I'm an ally of a thing" than going out of your way to try to erase the thing. Nice job blahaj real good trans friendly space you got going on there.
