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

Once again, every JD Vance story I hear involves him somehow putting down his children or generally being a bad dad. And that's the stuff I hear out of his own mouth.
I wouldn't want any kids near him.
I feel sorry for those kids for real
Am I missing something? This doesn’t sound like he’s shitting on his kid for playing pretend, it sounds like he’s shitting on young trans people by equating a child with gender dysphoria with a child playing pretend.
I assume he thought it was a clever joke to call his own children "batshit insane" but it kind of sounds like a Freudian slip. After all - he's describing the normal fantasy life little kids have. Plus there's what UlyssesT said.
He's associating trans people with "playing pretend" which is both fucked up and by subtext condemning both.
He's using his kids to provide a negative example of behavior that he thinks shouldn't be taken seriously.
