i hate this meme queer people keep posting in nearly every queer online space.
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 [email protected]
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 feel like trans people express their opinions with so many qualifiers and we still get people like this who are unwilling to listen to nuance
It checks out, because any time you make a valid criticism, you have to disavow every other example of the thing you're criticizing, acknowledge that the Republicans would be worse even though that's a given, tell them your entire voting record, hate the correct news sources, acknowledge all the good things (insert current politician they defend uncritically) has done, and then maybe you can say something like "I think Biden shouldn't send more weapons to Israel"
Only to have them call you a commie Russian tankies from China, who is posting from your troll farm, and then they let you know that the adults in the room are making the hard decisions.
You're supposed to jump through all these hoops but they can just unironically say things that are state department talking points
