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'd prefer a more hands on approach but it's okay that we can disagree about these things, there are more than one right answers here

That fox news clip hurt to watch. To think boomers park their asses in front of the tv 8 hours a day piping this into their fucking brains.

I literally couldn’t get through it. Lee Zeldin is also a soulless husk and if he somehow wins in New York I will be calling a-guy

lol thank fuck it looks like he doesnt have much time left on this earth.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Also looks like he wouldn't be able to catch the children he wants to assault.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think the children are in too much danger.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (17 children)

MMA fanboy chuds stanning for that chud might endanger the children.

EDIT 2: After learning otherwise, I will take the L on this one and stop associating pro wrestling and MMA fandoms so much.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

EDIT: Oops, seems like a pro wrestling chud, not a MMA chud, which has a super distinct fandom difference with no overlap.

Honestly Ulysses coming from someone you dont have an existing grudge with hopefully itll go over easier, most hardcore MMA fans have a disdain for pro wrestling because they're overly proud their sport is "Real".

Also, it should be noted that they've done polls on this and Pro Wrestling fans are actually one of the most left leaning sports fandoms. While MMA leans right.

That is news to me. I believe you now, I really do.

Also, it should be noted that they've done polls on this and Pro Wrestling fans are actually one of the most left leaning sports fandoms. While MMA leans right.

I didn't know that, and that pleasantly surprises me. I will take the L on this one and stop associating the two groups so much.

Here's the poll. Turns out I was wrong about UFC fans being that much more right leaning then wrestling fans. It actually lands on the left side of the poll's spectrum too. More rightward than WWE/wrestling but only by a bit. I also forgot the poll frames it as "democrat and republican" lol, which is annoying, but judging by /r/SquaredCircle's views on social issues im fairly confident there are a lot of wrestling fans who are at worst radlibs.

ETA: Wait no, i misread the graph, ufc has almost no lean whatsoever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My head's spinning by now. I'll just not make the association in the future and save myself a toxic fan getting weird on me again that way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This isn't the first time I've seen this poll, but every time I do I want to dismiss the results because there's no way any more than a single digit number described themselves as a fan of Grand-Am.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I honestly don't know too many people who fuck with both pro wrestling and mma. Seems like the fandoms are stay somewhat separated. I am well aware of the chud fandom within MMA, but ay thats why I mostly go to local promotions and pirate all the PPVs lol.

And while i wouldnt say im like "proud" of it being real over wrestling, i would like to keep them separate. Hell now that WWE and UFC has merged somewhat under a parent company, im straight up moving to watch ONE FC instead from Singapore and Thailand. Hell, even the wrestling fans i know aren't happy with the merger and think they shouldnt be that close.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I know people that like both but even they like them for completely different reasons and dont see them as associated. Having UFC and WWE as one company sucks lol but it wasnt the worst option on the table (the Saudis were in play) though I'm mad that Vince is still in any level of power, even if no longer absolute power.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dana White and Vince McMahan in the same company is waaaaaaaaay way way overboard on the amount of slime even for a corporation like endeavor.

Last i heard Vince McMahan is running TKO, the parent to both UFC and WWE so as far as i know he has even more control and possibly could be one of Dana White's bosses. Which is....horrific.

you can use self defense if someone else is being attacked, sure would be a shame if we found out very soon how CTE damaged his brain is. Someone could move that autopsy date up by a lot.

This guy was also accused of sexual harassment by a Fox News co-worker and they basically made the lawsuit go away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrus_(wrestler)#Sexual_harassment_allegation

oh damn. hope this transphobic chud gets shot to death in a random act of violence.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I hope it's non-random

According to these fascists, the trans people are waiting to assault women and children; this is some pre-emptive shit on the level of fascists that want to gun down "looters" the moment the lights go out during a hurricane.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Wonderful that he's volunteering himself to meet our good friends, Smith and Wesson! (in Grand Theft Auto 5)

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

I sincerely doubt he'd be able to catch any trans person fit enough to compete in any sport. The thing about athletes is that they're generally athletic. This guy couldn't run more than 15 steps before coughing up his lungs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Did you see the clip of his last match that I posted in here lol.

frothingfash: The trans mafia are trying to force their beliefs on us! Authoritarianism! They're groomers, won't you think of the children!?

also frothingfash: I will assault children.
