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

It's also chauvinism, applying a political litmus test to declare who is trans- as if they have a monopoly on it or something.

The chaser stuff really bothers me too, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to being horny, but when you're doing shit like that in what are supposed to be trans spaces? and acting like you get to say what politics are allowed? just sends me into a rage

I'm generally careful with the term, i get that not everybody dating trans people is a chaser, i have cis masc friends who've been in relationships with trans girls, i cherish all relationships where i see my sisters thrive, i'm t4t myself, but as soon as something that may be fetishization and something that is obvious transphobia intersects, the case is crystal clear.
