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

I don't get it. Is the g word a slur?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (4 children)

Antisemites tend to use "goy" in derogatory fashion to indicate something being of Jewish origin. Got a lot of play back when 4chan nazis posted "happy merchant" memes all day.

I feel like an Idiot now but wow that makes a lot of gaming YouTubers I liked just a few seconds ago into 4chan Nazis

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

IIIRC famed shitposter SsethTzeentach has used the happy merchant memes and "goy" memes a lot, which is weird coming from a guy who's an Ashkenazi Jew? But it's surprisingly widespread, yeah.

He's extremely 4chan through and through and obviously has shit taste in games

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (3 children)

My man is extremely 4chan but I have to disagree about taste. On a freeze-gamer youtube where every second channel is some nintendobrained retro gaming reseller guy, I can respect a man who is willing to talk about Heroes of Might n Magic III, or Dungeon Siege II, or Impressions Games city builders. Shit that's not the usual platformers-shooters-jrpgs.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

There's a shitton of other youtubers doing exactly that and he recommended fucking Outward, garbage game

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

shrug-outta-hecks Guess so... Got any recs for good channels of that bent then?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

"I wish for other people to know about "The Matchless Kungfu"

Monkey's paw curls

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The man sucks, but if he recommends a game it’s going to be good.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Also the video will give me severe whiplash when I stop laughing at an actual funny joke because he followed it up with a hardcore racist one!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He’s done a lot less of that (monetization or actually growing, who can tell), but yeah. A genuinely guilty subscribe simply because the recs are good and when he’s not being a channer he can be funny.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

He has impeccable comedic timing, when he's not using it for racism or homophobia

Also he's a fucking PHD level (though iirc never actually got his PHD) biologist which is fucking weird to think of

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Which also makes all of his friends 4chan brained buffoons and this unfortunately includes Mandaloregaming. Which is a shame since I really liked Mandaloregaming.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Oh hell, Mandalore's one I like. I knew he was kind of buddies with Sseth, but please do ruin Mandalore for me if you can.

Short for goyim, another word for gentile, or non Jewish person

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

Well, more accurately goy is singular and goyim is plural, just like you have one seraph and many seraphim. This is the masculine inflectional pattern. The feminine equivalent to the -im suffix is -ot, one aliyah and many aliyot.

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

Thanks! Kinda glad I never ran into this chud shit before

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Jewish term for gentiles, it's an extremely antisemitic dogwhistle when used like this; imagine Rothschild and all the other racist nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Yeah and as far as dog whistles go, this one sucks because there's no benign interpretation. Thank you musk for moderating your platform

when 4chan nazis posted “happy merchant” memes all day.

You mean they aren't still doing it?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Dunno, haven't seriously checked in on fourchannel dot org in like six years. I guess it's a safe bet /pol/ is still doing it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Depending on context, overtness, and precisely who’s speaking, “goy” can be invoked in a mockery of how the poster thinks a “Jewish overlord” might talk about nonbelievers. (See also: liberal sprinklings of “oy vey” and other assumed stock phrases)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

"Goy" is short for "Goyim", and is a word primarily used by Jewish people to refer to non-Jews.

Anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists often self-identity as Goyim to highlight their position as an underclass. In this case, the implication is that Jews feed Goys tasteless nutrition bars while, presumably, the Jewish passengers in first-class still get opulent kosher meals.
