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

Vaush is a debate bro who values winning arguments above all else, including on topics he knows nothing about. He is a chauvinist who supports the plight of minorities as long as they lick his boots. If they do not, he deems them “subhuman.” He is a self-admitted sexual harasser who gave a dubious apology. Despite describing himself as an anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian socialist, he does not want to abolish the government and he has admitted that his political project is nearly identical with that of social democrats. He has cultivated a cult of personality that deflects all criticism as “out of context” when he himself proudly maintains those positions as “based and high IQ.” Although most of his detractors are hardly better.

If you have a timestamped link that adds context, please let me know and I will add it.

“He who is reluctant to recognize me opposes me.”

Gender and Sexuality (continued)

Thought Slime, who is nonbinary, gave their perspective on how gender abolition alone is insufficient.[3.25] Vaush dismissed it as “obviously dumb”.[3.26] Thought Slime said it was dismissive.[3.27] Vaush said “Are you always this fragile? A person asked me for my opinion on your take and I said it was dumb. It remains dumb. We’re both free to hold our opinions; I’m not pressing you for a debate.”[3.28]
“‘A lot of people say that you talk over trans people.’ They just make stuff up.”[3.29]
Transphobia, “balancing socialism and minority rights” class reductionism, and thinking that direct action is ever not possible.[3.30]
Thinks a transphobic comic by Stonetoss is funny even though the punchline is just “lol trans suicide.”[3.31],[3.32]
Said that Mel (a trans woman with voice dysphoria) used the abusive tactic of talking in a soft voice. “It’s the same thing that abusers do, by the way. There are a lot of abusive women who will play up their femininity or soft uwu shit as a way of avoiding responsibility for the behavior that they engage in.”[3.33],[3.34]
“Do you luhh tran peepoh [...] qui dogin thuh queschun do you luhh tran peepo”[3.35]
“Actually i got a warning earlier today for using the t-word”[3.36]
“I posted trans porn and didn’t get banned”[3.37]
“Trans people do not have a better understanding of trans-ness.”[3.38] While this is superficially true, it ignores the phenomenological question of “What is it like to be a bat?”
This was said jokingly, but it was also targeted towards the trans people he dehumanized: “you know / not suggesting anything / but if trans people didnt exist my notification feed would look a lot better rn / somebody needs to do something about the (((lovely trans advocates))) in my feed”[3.39]
