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

Pitbull haters are reactionary confirmed

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

I mean yeah. I can't prove it but I've always thought the fixation on pitbulls being super-dangerous murder machines had more to do with the perceieved connection of pittbulls to black people, at least in the us. People will argue up and down about it.

It depends. There's a lot of hate for them in my country because they're vicious street dogs and have been known to kill old people and children. An indigenous group recently hunted one down after it mauled a child in their community.

Hate from more developed countries tend to come from people who see clips go viral online and immediately make blanket statements.

It pretty much became a dogwhistle for racists to fixate on how pitbulls are inherently more violent than other dogs.

(kelly not intended)

It probably has something to do with the fact that it sounds a lot like a more "socially acceptable" type of race science. Stonetoss also has a racist comic where he compares dog breeds to human beings.
