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

Transvestigators would be 'so stupid it's funny' like flat earthers until you realise these people are being serious and are dangerous to trans people. Then it's just like: desolate

Ohh I have some bad news for you regarding flat earthers. It's one of those conspiracy theories that seems harmless and fun at first glance, but then you ask them why it is that every single government on the planet would all agree to lie about the shape of the world when so many of those govenments are enemies and would love any opportunity to make the others look bad.

And surprise surprise, the flat earthers answer is It's the jews

They're just whimsical nazis basically

Which is dumb as hell, the earth used to be flat until Al Pharazon sailed a fleet from Numenor to conquer the Valar. Illuvatar wasn't gonna see that happen again and made the world round. WHICH IS WHY ELVES CAN SEE REALLY FAR DESPITE THE EARTH'S CURVATURE, DAVE.

Oh yeah? If the earth is flat, what's it supported by?

It's Jews all the way down!

Flat earthers also really abusive/controlling and paranoid in my personal experience. The kind of person to secretly install location tracking apps on their partners phone for instance.

Don't ask how I know this...

They also pull a lot from evangelical theology and congregations. Surprise surprise.

I’ve seen a type of flat earther that - at least as far as I can’t tell - aren’t anti-Semitic. Instead they get into it because they take biblical literalism very seriously. The Bible does imply that the earth is flat and tbh I don’t think that believing the earth is flat is a lot crazier than thinking Noah’s flood was a real, global event as described in the Bible.

It feels like there’s a segment of evangelicalism that’s getting even more serious about biblical literalism. I’ve even seen an emerging “slavery is good, actually” thought among them. Because the Bible absolutely condones slavery and the excuse of “well God allowed the Israelites to do it because everyone else around them did too, and it was normal at the time” has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.

folks does anybody else think if you can see a guy's knees and they are touching that there's no way he's got room for balls in there so he's gotta be a lady

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fellas is it gay for your own knees to ever touch?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

Men are only able to walk around like 1950s TV cowboys, because their dick and balls take up so much space.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

I just got small balls, okay? Quit pointing it out! kitty-cri-screm

I love the jump straight to Abraham Lincoln. It's a good point. The 6'4" wrestling champion with an iconic beard was AFAB? You guys sure bout that one?

Mary Todd Lincoln = MTL = Male To Lady

It was there all along!

Me: You know, if it's this easy to present as a gender, maybe that proves that gender is an artificial construct, and caring about their genotype is a waste of time.
