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

Back in the GG days I was following various anti-woke sources/creators (read kotakuinaction, watched JP, shoe, Chris ray gun, etc.). Since then I've obviously left that whole sphere (I mainly attribute this to innuendo studios tbh), but it's interesting to see that Brianna Wu has made just everyone dislike her. I hope she sees the light someday, because honestly it feels pretty weird to still be disliking one of the people GG attacked.

Edit: other notable figures in my radicalization are Hasan and second thought, and my wife and I have had a bit of a radicalizing feedback loop. Then I discovered lemmy during the API thing, found out about hexbear because of everyone talking about how scary it is, and choosing to check it out myself and finding it incredible based.

I'll be honest, I watched thunderf00t for like two videos making fun of solar panel roads because they're dumb, then I saw the anti feminist stuff and thought, hey this guy's a tool.

At this point I really dont think Brianna Wu has it in her to see any kind of light, shes just genuinely a craven social climber.

She was cozying up to transvestigators and posting some deranged shit accusing Brittney Griner of having a voice in the hertz range of literal subwoofers.

Trans peoole have an unfair advantage at the club because they have built in speakers

Also claiming that she was spitballing hertz values from listening to one audio clip because she has "10 years of piano practice" which means that her brain automatically translates pitch to hertz.

If anything I would hope for her to just transition into posting more shit like this, she might end up at pre-president Trump tier posting if she keeps this up.

To me, Lemmy was always this rocker dude hanging out at the Rainbow Room looking for cocaine. Sounds like he now hosts an online place where leftists make libs feel unsafe?
