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
The N-word was reclaimed by black people to be used with those connotations by taking the original word and its meanings and subverting them into something either positive or neutral. The exact same thing happened with the word queer.
It's a very conscious act to reclaim terms like that.
I'm not saying that the R-slur is beyond reclamation, far from it, but it's not going to be reclaimed by people who aren't the object of the term and it's not going to be reclaimed by using the word in exactly the same way that it has historically been used.
Honestly Keffals' proclaiming her autistic status is just a veneer of progressivism to make her audience feel comfortable with her use of slurs.
