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

(stolen joke) A transphobe, a racist and a antisemite walk into a bar. The bartender says: "hey arent you the woman who wrote those harry potter books?"

[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sure thing, Rowling. Why don't you show us these supposed facts that contradict the statistics that show trans women are far more likely to be the victims of sexual assault than the perpetrators?

[–] [email protected] 74 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's fascinating how Rowling projects her grievances with the patriarchy onto trans women.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's the final stage of liberal feminism. petty traumas with no systemic causes and no wider solution need to be vented at the most vulnerable populations available. also explains the Clintonite criminal justice project.

I didn't follow how unhinged she had become about it. Wow.

What can be the next move after this? Claiming she was r*ped by a transwoman?

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 year ago (1 children)

all transpeople are r#pists is certainly a take to have, i hope she drowns in her own blood

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's becoming more common. We're getting extremely close to a place where trans people are predators by definition to these people. It's really scary

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have noticed that they are expanding how they define predator even further to include anyone who advocates for acceptance of trans kids. It usually goes something like (cw: transphobia):

spoiler“Being trans is inherently sexual. So anyone who tells a kid they might not be the gender they were assigned at birth means they are trying to sexualize children, thus a sexual predator.”

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile, worrying about kids' genitals and sexual attractions is perfectly acceptable by these cretins.

"It's not sexualizing children to constantly worry about their genitals or who they want to be intimate with! Don't even get me started on which bathroom they want to use!"

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago

She sucks shit but that first sentence has a lot of juice and could be repurposed

"Good for you, Bill Maher. Some imperial apologists prefer to advocate for racist colonialism from behind an anime cartoon, but you're doing it under your own name. Zionists need brave guys like you."

Rowling is such a Slytherin 👍👍👍👍👍

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

I mean, she literally does act like Umbridge, a character she actively hates and wrote to be hated.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As my favorite non-Harry-Potter series once wisely said, “You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” 👍👍👍👍👍

Not my art to be clear! Friend of mine made this for our big pixelbase project on everyonedraw. But I thought Id show it off because it looks real nice and Trevor was a real one.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

my salute is to trevor and now also the artist, whomever they might be rat-salute-2 rat-salute-2

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Oh this is a good emote.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I blame millenials buying her crap for giving her such an outsized voice. Launch her into the fucking sun.

and everyone who bought her books, for good measure.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 year ago

Help I was a child and it was my mom's money 😭

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Hey don’t look at me I was a goosebumps/Animorphs kid.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Never read one of her books or saw any of the movies, thankfully. Her stuff always just seemed like dollar store Tolkien to me, plus I guess I was slightly older than the intended age range.

My most regretted purchase ever, by the way, was a Kid Rock CD and I am deeply ashamed of it to this day.

Why the fuck is one of the richest, most famous people in the world taking the time to say unhinged shit to random people on Twitter with like 200 followers? Does she just sit around all day looking for obscure people to put on blast with her deranged bullshit?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

Because she is unhinged and wants trans people dead. She is singularly obsessed with it.

Wasn't she all in with that lady that was quoted in that BBC article that had a fucking manifesto to kill trans people and a history of doing SA to other women?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

She has repeated sided with and supported men and women who assault women but also are transphobes.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yeah. actually she's all in with a bunch of people who have stated all trans people should be killed, as well as several sexual abusers and admitted rapists. i only know of the one person who did both and was quoted in a bbc article, but it would not surprise me if there were more

also i like your avatar

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hope she's killed and soon

Just saying, there are countless, countless confirmed incidents of r@pe and general sexual abuse at those gay/trans conversion "therapy" camps by the counselors (the victims of which are almost all minors who are forced by their piece of shit parents to attend as these camps' primary demographic), which is still happening to this day. Far more than the number of confirmed LGBTQ+ predators. Call it whataboutism if you want, but it seems to me like it's your crowd that has a predator problem, Rowling.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

you know i know where her boat that shes never been on is. just fantasizing.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Be a real shame if a hive of killer bees was in her room and the door got jammed

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“From behind an anime cartoon” is one of the most redundant boomer phrases I’ve ever heard lol.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

She's probably the type to say ATM machine and PIN number

They haven't yet released the Minecraft and Fortnite crossover DLC that contains the content I want JK Rowling to play, at this point

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

So she just replied with "you're wrong" lol

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

What a horrible disgusting person she is. I hope she chokes to death on her own vomit.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I hope the reactionaries she sides with gets bored of her one day and rip her apart.

She is a token and she will be spent

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't every christo-fascist (among them Matt Walsh, whom J.K. keep talking to on Twitter) still think that her books cause people to go to hell through corruption of the mind or whatever?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yep same with D&D and Pokemon still

Love to see people post screenshots of exhibits from their own Committee of Public Safety tribunals.
