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

Okay so off-topic, dumb question: In the second gif in the post, what is that small circular thing that they 'walk'?

That's Bridget, a character from the fighting game series Guilty Gear. She fights with a yo-yo. She's unusual in an anime styled video game because she's outright transgender, which made a lot of gamer nerds mad.

They used to awooga over Bridget in chanlordy thirsty ways until Bridget developed as a character and became happy with who she was. bridget-smug

Idk there's still a lot of thirst for Bridget but now it's done by trans people and liberal chasers rather than just fascist chasers and 4chan pick me femboys

I can only assume the old chanlords just do hostile pronoun choices in the comments to stick it to the wokes (like... the fucking people that made the character to begin with). frothingfash

Yeah on rule34 they'll tag art of her as "femboy" still and then just claim "well Bridget is femboy in THIS ART... no reason why I made that artistic choice at all :)"

Uh... dont ask how I know that.

I bet the comments are full of deliberately hostile pronouns to try to "take back" the character and revert Bridget to a form they are more comfortable with... because Bridget being comfortable scares them. bridget-pride-stay-mad

Uh... dont ask how I know that.
