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

I would have respected your human rights but you had to go and demand for them

[–] Huldra@hexbear.net 49 points 2 years ago

Boy I sure am glad that all the claims of transphobia was just Hexbear "saving face" because we were upset that the sane reasonable people didn't like us for being tankies.

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 49 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

Sorry everyone, it's my fault. I called turtlepower an egg. 😔

edit: you fools! I never did such a thing!!

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

That was my first thought too! It has that Lovecraftian, Dreherian horror of "They're gonna trans me!" and it's like, why is that both your firm belief and first concern lol

I've had trans people try to convince me that I am trans

lmao isn't that mostly a bit where trans folks look back at their own perspective and are like "ah should have been obvious". I've seen a handful of people who used to be like this guy, then had someone say this to them, then they were like "o shit" and they've been on HRT for 3 years.

Idk maybe this guy should try on some skirts before he goes showing his ass on forums.

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

turtlepower goes where trans people exist

Trans person: "Well howdy friend! Are you trans too?"

turtlepower: "STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME TRANS!"

trying to make the whole world trans

Fucking dumb. It's like saying anti-racists are trying to make the world a single race. No dumb ass they're trying to make the world not racist.

They're being told people should be able to choose the kind of person they want to be without having to worry about all the gendered propaganda we've been fed our entire life. Their response:

I will NOT stand for that shit.

Just because they're unhappy with what they were born with doesn't mean everyone feels that way.

Just a complete fundamental misunderstanding of everything while also being an entitled shit. I doubt they fit perfectly in to society's cubicuboctahedron role they were assigned at birth and drilled in to them every day of their life by all the people they love. Stay ignorant.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

so many trans people trying to make the whole world trans

Someone saw that Twitter that combines flags and took a 🏳️‍⚧️ +🇺🇳 flag too seriously

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

this is always such a funny tack for them to take. do they think we want "allies" as bloodless as they are? "you were mean once so i flipped" alright well i'd rather just count that as an enemy 100% of the time because they're literally worth less than garbage

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

people like this diaping out is proof that hexbear-direct-action is a force for good on the lemmyverse

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago

turtle power? more like turd shower.

boom. gottem.

[–] JuneFall@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Trans are objectively more valuable than cis. ~~We got a lot more of the latter to spare~~ Since their public existence in society and the reactions against their public existence do highlight contradictions that have to be dealt with in a proper manner. This means creating a world in which there is no transphobia and eliminating the material base for transphobia as well.

[–] JuneFall@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

Also it does affect the validity of their opinion, I don't give a fuck about a privileged well of person telling me how the poor have too much money.

[–] LemonGrease@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No one will be safe from the mass transing.

Who's taking bets on the chance that turtlepower is an egg?

[–] Lerios@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've had trans people try to convince me that I am trans

I mean yeah, same, i've had people (trans and cis) tell me i should transition, or get on T, or "wait, you use she/her? really?" - but the difference is that i'm capable of understanding that these are just shitty people who have a problem with GNC people and/or women who aren't feminine or conventionally attractive. Is it misogynistic, implying that women should look/behave/dress a certain way? Yeah, absolutely, but that makes that one individual person a dick, it doesn't fucking imply that an entire group of people are a cult or shouldn't have rights or some shit, jesus.

‘let me derail this trans-positive post to complain about tankies’ rent-free

[–] StalinwasaGryffindor@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I laughed out loud at this description of us:

“many of their users act basically like 4chan without the racism, sexism, anti semitsm, transphobia and all of that”

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

So 4chan without the 4chan?
