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

second-plane Mr president, the predominantly cis radlibs claiming that "all tankies are transphobic" are about to visit the trans tankie website and discover we're even more far left because of our queerness, not despite it

Or alternatively that we're just a token minority that the 'silent cis majority' of tankies on this website keep around and pretend to respect and publicly defend all as a cynical ploy to rainbow wash themselves - despite how the majority of the mod team is trans, the majority of power posters are trans, almost a majority of the semi-active users are trans, and how, despite our limited federation, we still have the most active trans specific comm on lemmy/kbin almost entirely from trans users on just hexbear and lemmygrad

If anything the cishet users on this are the token 'minority'

The cishet users are just pretending. You know, to appeal to liberals.

It's always projection
