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 bad masterpost (hexbear.net)

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.”

Sex

  • Sexually harassed at least 1 person.(?)
    • Logs for Poppy: [2.1],[2.2],[2.3]
    • Logs for Pastel: [2.4]
    • Other: [2.5],[2.6],[2.7]
    • “Apologized” for sexually harassing Poppy, but also said:[2.8]
      • “Should I @ poppy in d.gg and tell her im onto her shit / Might scare her into shutting up”
      • “I have nothing to feel remorseful over and I will never feel comfortable in the company of people who falsely believe me a predator.”
      • “I also do not believe I engaged in any behavior worth apologizing for.
      • “I’m fine with people knowing I’m not gonna apologize / Because I have nothing to apologize for / Just relax a bit and make fun of them when appropriate”
      • “and yet, the fallout from this drama has led me to receiving hundreds, if not thousands of hate messages, cut me off from my social connections, and distances me from almost every left-leaning contact I had. / At this point, I feel very little obligation to apologize for anything.”
      • “The degree of social maligning I’ve experienced is so wildly disproportional to the misbehavior I engaged in that I don’t feel any apology was warranted to begin with. / Poppy is and always has been a liar, and nothing happened with Pastel with apologizing over. / I did wrong - a year and a half ago - but my regret isn’t the internet’s business. / This performative demand for apologies is incredibly toxic”
      • “Even I implicate myself too much.”
      • Vaush's sysadmin, WhiteNervosa, suggested changing Vaush's name to his former internet handle, IrishLaddie, in the Discord logs above to help him distance himself from his sexual harassment.
      • Vaush acknowledged that the above quotes are real,[2.9] yet he excluded all but the first from his “retrospective,” where he included fanciful, uncommon allegations such as that he sent death threats. He misrepresented his critics to delegitimize them and divert attention away from legitimate criticism.
      • Vaush claimed that he tried to apologize to Poppy, but was blocked. Poppy showed that it was the opposite - Vaush had blocked her.
    • Despite his fans’ mischaracterizations, Vaush said “I sexually harassed a girl two years ago, there's a video about it on my channel”. About 2 years later, he deleted the tweet.[2.10]
  • In response to someone saying that they “fucked an adult as a minor”, Vaush responded “Unironically hot”.[2.11]
  • “I have yet to hear a convincing moral or legal argument as why possession of child pornography should be illegal. Actual child pornography [...] Owning child pornography is probably a hell of a lot more ethical than wearing the t-shirts on your back right now.”[2.12],[2.13]
  • “Do you have any idea who the fuck you’re talking to? When I got off Tinder because of the fucking quarantine, Tacoma wept. Even ignoring the fact that I have a girlfriend, even if we’re just talking like randos, I’m two hours away right now from being inside someone else. I have two skills - it’s non-monogamy and speaking publicly, okay? Do some fucking research!”[2.14]
  • “Too bad nobody but your own fucking lefty dipshit friends are ever going to find [mayocide] jokes funny, and that the majority of people are actually going to find them ostracizing, cringy, and off-putting. And they're bad rhetoric, and it's bad optics, and it makes us look bad, and it makes us unironically look like we don't like white people. Cut that shit out. I even saw fucking Hyena doing that in chat. Bitch, shut the fuck up! I'm white people. You think you're fucking cute being a Latina girl? 'Ooh I hate white people,' then you're fucking riding white dick after the day's done? I see your shit, 'yea, I hate white people, sorry.' You and every other fucking brown chick on Instagram, who on the day hates white people and night goes right back to white dick. [...] ‘How is mayocide bad optics but ACAB isn't?’ Because cops are bad.”[2.15]
    • This implies that optics is based on truth-value.
