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

Dude's actually using vote manipulation bots like a redditor lmao.

another account in that thread is using the same pictures. There is no fucking way two people in the same thread think that unironically replying with those pictures is some kind of massive own. For my own sanity, they NEED to be sockpuppets.

I confronted them on it and they just kept denying it and saying it was a conspiracy against them lmao.

Ok real talk I have literally upvoted someone within 30 seconds of their post when I'm doomscrolling comments/all/new several times.

Legit would have thought he was one of our bits if it weren't to him sockpuppeting to give himself exactly 5 upvotes each comment. Least deranged Redditor che-laugh

Has anyone hit him with a fallacy fallacy yet?

That type really hates that the fallacy fallacy exists.

You know what is a winning strategy in online arguments? Breaking out the debate club rules. Works every time.

I activate my trap card! Fallacy Fallacy!

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They act like it's a magic spell that wins arguments

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

I feel like explicitly naming the fallacy committed will never get you anywhere in an argument. The way that spotting a fallacy helps you is that all instances of a fallacy can be debunked in the same way.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

You didn't disprove my argument because (fallacy that can be applied to nearly anything), that means I win! smuglord

What the heck is going on in there?!

I thought the one I pulled was a bit account but he’s mod in the Star Trek comm!

Their other response thread accusing someone of using abuser tactics on them is wild. It gets the two wolves fighting in me for damn sure.

I saw this in the wild, he posted like 3 or 4 of those lame fallacy nerd explainers. There was another person in the dame thread doing the same thing

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty sure they were the same person…

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah hatd to believe there's 2 people in the world, let alone one thread that unironically think posting about le fallacy is an own on anyone but themselves

99% of the time someone cries about being strawmanned they either are backpedalling or just suck at expressing themselves

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

The other 1% of the time they are me, an actual person made of straw.

No link, reported for rule 1.

And if you add the link, I'll report for brigading instead, as per:

Do not directly link to comments or posts of other federated instances on public posts with intent to goad or mock.

I'd like to see some evidence that they weren't there to pee before I make up my mind.

Oh shit. I just realized this is the person who has been telling me I need psychiatric help. Man if only he knew.

Every other post I see from Risky Dickhole contains some Sesame Street infographic on how to best dine on his shit.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now that the excitement had died down, someone should adopt that bit.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I started doing it to him but I found some weird comment of his on some thread about "what you would do if today was your last day on earth". I think the guy is legitimately mentally unwell and we should stop dunking on him.

Um, it didn't have an "um" beginning, didn't even add "honestly" as a filler word, and no one was checkmated.

Insufficiently reddit-logo . Checkmate. very-intelligent
