Thank you, federation, for bringing libs to our lair once again.

They really always default to the same fucking shit "BOT! XINNIE THE POOH!" like an actual NPC che-laugh

there's an explicitly trans male character that channels the appropriate magic. he's considered the weird woman who channels male magic until it's dropped that satan literally cursed him to live as a woman. it's a very binary gender system but if you're going to have eternal souls, it's not an awful way to handle trans characters. there's a lot wrong with the gender politics and Jordan sucks ass at writing women so there's much riper targets to criticize the series over than this.

I feel better informed about that; I didn't get that far. I still don't have to like the series overall (the fandom tends to really put me off) but I appreciate your post.

definitely. the first 6 books are ok if you turn your brain off and don't think too hard about them but the later books really drag on and on and on and on. I had infinite patience as a kid and I miss that sometimes. the fandom is absolutely cursed.

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
