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

And so the turn rightward is complete.

Not that this was a surprise to anybody actually paying attention to Brianna's ineffectual succdem mewling for the last 3 years. Brianna was only 'on the left' because she claimed to be on the left and most of the podcast sphere is too nice or politically illiterate to notice how much of a apologist liberal she always is.

As someone who knew her personally almost a decade ago, this is the least surprising thing lmao

I had her pinned as a bourgeois 'feminist' nepo baby when she first starting getting notoriety, so I'm not surprised either

Really her only claim to fame is being harassed by GamerGate freaks

yeah it's easy to appear leftist when the only discourse you're part of is people screaming at you for being a woman

Give it a week and you'll see r/KotakuInAction bragging that they finally got Wu on their side.

i think the rightward turn was complete when it got outed that she was in a wildly transphobic groupchat and shits on nonbinary people but yeah you nailed it regarding the podcast sphere being too nice.
