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

Uhh Brianna Wu(Not pictured) recently got outed from leaked group chat messages as a transphobe who posts trans womens photos in the group chat then calls them slurs.
Destiny(left) got banned from twitch for advocating for the use of white supremacist mass shootings against BLM protestors.
Vaush(center) known for CSAM apologism and sexual harrassment allegations.
Keffals(right) known for a public fight against kiwifarm, later accused of misusing donations from that fight to fund cocaine habit, as well as being a rabid clout chaser who does shit like use private DMs from an ex-gf to make a video accusing her of supporting genocide and being a tankie.
I'd encourage everyone to read Wu's apologies today (and the slur filled dm's if you can handle it). It's pretty wild to watch someone who built their brand on something try to backpedal slurs about the thing.
The QTs are something too. At one point she retweeted someone supporting her for being secretly based in the DM's.
The apology is so terrible I'm rather surprised she even posted it. "I know it's wrong for me to say this stuff, but that person was an absolute jerk to me." Then she's liking posts calling her based which more or less sells the entire thing as a farce.
I remember when she was harassed by goobergators but now it seems like she turned out to be a goober herself.
Oh shit I was right!
Pretty based tbh
I mean, I don't have the energy to care that much but it does seem like it would be really shitty to promise that the money would be used to fight transphobic canadian cops and a gangstalking website that basically every notable trans person lives in fear of, and then just spend it on coke that makes you pick annoying fights online for more coke money.
How can you even think of one word to defend that?
Dunno, but trans people throw other trans people under the bus all the time. Specifically she was doing it from a truscum/anti-enby position.
She was on an anti-tankie crusade on the person she did it to, at the time.
I've noticed radlibs who are nominally pro-trans-rights absolutely fall over themselves to adopt right wing talking points (ie male socialization) when it lets them harass a leftist trans woman.
Apparently thats a common assumption but from what I can tell she's cis.
Idk where it comes from but it doesnt seem outrageous to just assume its a rumor from the Gamergate days.
From what I recall from the last time she was involved in drama, she has declined to confirm or deny being trans and everyone seems to be confused
It was a rumor from early transvestigators.
keffals also did copaganda for the british colonial cops in ireland
You missed the part where Brianna Wu went on Tim Pool and did at least 2 episodes with him. I do not know or care what they talked about. This was BEFORE the dm thing
okay update i read the screenshots and i still think she's definitely trans, but like, truscum. i was just confused because it feels like it never comes up in conversations about or with her.
