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

CW Misogyny|Racism|Misognoir|Transphobia Gender detectives at Ovarit decide masculine cis woman is a man (hexbear.net)

These geniuses have decided cis basketball star, Britney Griner, is actually man because she disagrees with them about trans athletes in women’s and girls’ sports.

Racism and misogyny aside, if Griner was intersex (I’ve seen no evidence for this apart from her build), what gender would these people allow her to be? They don’t believe in enbies. Does this mean they do believe in men with vaginas and uteruses?

Thread is here if you want to see the dozens of other posters saying the same thing. Once again don’t know how to archive things on my phone.

TERF neoliberal hexbear at that. They're so far right, most of the people they align themselves with don't think cis women are full people either. Their front page is usually just links to daily mail articles.

It's really fascinating to me how a group of people can be so transphobic that it literally takes over their entire worldview, just completely rots their brains. One of my favorite chud sites to just scroll through and laugh at.

Just browsing that site should be classed as self harm.

Nah, I love it. Just read a comment by a person who called themselves "leftist, almost communist" while unironically posting on a site which does practically nothing but aggregate links to the daily mail. It's pure comedy

I used to browse Mumsnet for similar reasons.

The point at which I stopped was that they declared Jeremy Clarkson a misogynist a couple of months after everyone else had, not because he published his scat/humiliation fetish in an oped but because he wrote an article that was like, "trans people are valid, non-binaries are not."

Like, that had to be peak TERF.
