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

The most aggravating thing about these is that they keep implying hexbear is a straight site that made the decision to let us be here. When they make detached from reality insults like hexchan or israel it’s easy to say ‘lol, no’. But I hate that they’re also trying to smuggle in the idea that of course it’s the straight people that are in charge of this website. Probably without even realizing it.

Personally I prefer the ones where they just call us fake queers.

How do people expect to be taken seriously while blatantly lying about ban reasons when the mod log is public?
Oh look, it was not banned for saying gender-neutral pronouns exist.

“More importantly they’re also jerks”

More importantly? Really? That’s more important to you than the alleged transphobia?

They come from the Maher-xist school of thought, where being rude is only allowed when you're punching down.

Pretending to be pro-LGBT+ to...huh? Why are libs this insane? They genuinely can't comprehend that people to the left of them exist

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Pretty irrelevant instance, they have virtually no posts if you change the filter to instance-only.

Maybe it’s 📽

Lmao, this person again. The minute it started posting on Hexbear after getting banned on blahaj.zone, I knew we were dealing with some sort of wrecker/troll.

the question is is it lying or is it just so spectacularly stupid that someone telling it "hey Reddit creep, your username is innappropriate" and assumed it was because it mentions nonbinary people.

They're the Israel of lemmy instances

im really not even angry, this is fucking beautiful

like what does that even mean? how did your brain make such a leap that it could have crossed the grand canyon? I really keep trying to respect some liberals but a bunch of their ideology boils down to "I don't like thing, so it is bad, and this bad thing is also every other bad thing" and then pretend they've unlocked the secret to the goddamn universe.

Nazis and neoliberals will lie through their teeth if they think it benefits them. And they will back each other up in those lies whenever they think it benefits them.

Truth is not important. If it hurts their political enemy they will do it.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (4 children)

You say that, but I know those Hexbear types. They may say they're inclusive and run a largely trans instance that actively bans transphobic users and language, sure. Up to and including the day of revolution they'll probably insist they support LGBTQIA rights, fight for them even. But trust me they're faking it

The whole "pretending to be LGBTQ-friendly" accusation with such conviction made absolutely no sense to me until I think it kind of clicked for me where they might be coming from. I think the origin of that belief isn't really actual ignorance but instead a partial understanding of their own liberal politics projected onto us.

Imagine you're a lib and you genuinely want queer people to have somewhat better lives in a world that is largely hostile to them. Liberal democracy only allows the continued existence of capitalism and the order that hurts LGBTQ people in the first place. So your only actual option within that system is to put your support behind a political entity that acts like it's the protector of marginalized people when it's convenient and reinforces systems and narratives of oppression when it's not. No matter how much you make LGBTQ rights a personal value of yours or how often you consume media that tells you how important the issue is to your chosen political entity, there will always be a rift between what you think is right and important and what the people you support actually bother doing about it.

On the other hand, imagine you're a lib who doesn't actually care about LGBTQ issues but you're also not frothing at the mouth thinking about two dudes making out. To you the whole issue has always been nothing but a cultural signifier of other values or if your brainworms are powerful enough it's a tribal team sports thing. Either way, if you have any self awareness you also at least partially understand that queer people are just the ball in a game of liberal politics.

For both of those hypothetical libs it's not a big step at all to see someone opposing their own politics and assume that our support for queer people is fake, because if you take the liberal world view for granted that's the only thing that DOES make sense. think-about-it In conclusion, this comment was mostly me trying to call people libs twice farquaad-point

It's always kind of fun go detective modekitsupogi and figure out why they actually got banned

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

By "gender neutral pronouns exist", I bet it means it was actually defending Theying everyone despite their very visible pronouns lol

The Hexbear Defence Force is the most civilised army in the world and takes the utmost care to protect civilians. Those killed in the carpet bombing of the lib server farm had all been warned and knew that anybody still there would be considered terrorists.

What the fuck is going on. Pinkwashing? This place has been a bastion of acceptance since day 1. We've stumbled a few times but who hasn't.

You mean the person who tried to push the idea that an actual antisocial pathological personality disorder (narcissistic personality disorder), is a neurodivergence like ADHD or ASD? Yep, the literal personality/personification of individualism that doesn't reguard others is something that it believes shouldn't be maligned. I feel for people that have these types of disorders, they don't have the ability to understand what is problematic about their behavior, but it is exactly this and the fact that it hurts others that makes it a pathology.

yeonmi-park in hexland, they don't believe in gender neutral pronouns. I said I believed in gender neutral pronouns and it caused such a ruckus the users were running amok until somebody else was brave enough to say they agree. Then they 1984d me.

Look, we can discuss about this person's posting both here and and on other instances, but the real crime is having an ironic PM_ME username. Only I am allowed to do that

lib.lgbt 🤣 theyre really spelling it out for us

lib dot lgbt is positive and welcoming lemmy community with a particular focus on LGBT people and their allies. We welcome queers of all stripes, and our non-queer friends of all kinds!

i bet they dont allow the socialist majority of trans people tho, and are a big fan of chasers (as evidenced by the username)

also they have like no active users. their local posts are nearly nonexistent. and of course are making up insane bullshit about the instance with the most trans people in it

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago (6 children)

how do they come up with this stuff? i’m genuinely curious how they invent such ludicrous hexbear facts
