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

the question is is it lying or is it just so spectacularly stupid that someone telling it "hey Reddit creep, your username is innappropriate" and assumed it was because it mentions nonbinary people.

That poster used it/its pronouns when it was here. In this case, its username wasn’t the problem. It seemed to believe that referring to people with they/them pronouns against their wishes was fine and it didn’t like that people were calling it out for that.

I love the fact that we are still respecting its pronouns, even after it got its deserved ban. The fact we need to catch everyone up on the lore is also hilarious.

Not just that but pretty disgusting enby erasure as well. "If you use they/them...you'll never gender someone correctly."

Glad it finally got banned it was fucking obnoxious.
