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

In the same time they're claiming Algeria is woke and sent a trans woman, they also claim Algerians are backwards who beat up women.

Just to make sure I'm not confused: A cis woman punches another cis woman, and they're all mad because they thin the puncher is a trans woman?

[–] [email protected] 81 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not trans, just has a higher than average testorone level. Which could be due to a myriad of genetic factors

Yeah seems like someone is not good at boxing. Better luck next time loser

I'm so fucking tired of this discourse, besides the very obvious transphobia that the Brits love, at this point it's thinly veiled sexism that the only women competing should be visibly stereotypically feminine. Which you know, runs counter to the required muscle mass to compete in these sports. Then you've got the factor that the women targeted in these tirades are often times POC so it's checking even more bigotry boxes.

With their collapsing economy and lack of import in global politics, the purpose of TERF island appears to be acting as a bigotry factory exporting their shit takes to the rest of the world.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 1 month ago

And probably a heaping scoop of racism on top. I feel like TERFs are always jumping to make trans accusations towards cisgender women of color.

George Foreman won Olympic gold in 1968, he was so absurdly strong that even in his literal 40s, coming out of retirement to box again mainly because he was absolutely broke, while having the physique of Homer Simpson, he still punched so hard that opponents that actually BEAT HIM would start asking their corner during the breaks between rounds to please check that all of their teeth were still attached, and his comeback career was still almost unanimously treated as a total farce.

This shit is so fucking dumb in comparison, yeah of course she hits hard, shes an Olympic boxer. She beat rural Algerian misogyny to make it this far and now this fascist culture war bullshit is trying to ruin her life.

[–] [email protected] 93 points 1 month ago

How dare she beat up... her opponent in a boxing match?

Trans Exclusive instead of Trans Exclusionary sounds rad. The little "Only on N64" badge but "Only for Trans!!!"

We are going to be witnessing new levels of rage-posting as transphobes confront the undeniable scientific fact that biological sex is also a spectrum.

Get ready for conservatives to start demanding genetic sequencing for girls' high school sports, they now will be claiming that genital inspections don't go far enough.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Their viewpoint has always just been that the only valid options are "cisgender or tragic medical dysfunction that can be shunned & ignored" so unfortunately I don't think they'll seriously engage with this.

Look how this poor woman got punched in the face!

She's a God damn boxer competing in the Olympics! Of course they're punching eachother in the face, that's the point of the whole thing. They signed up for it!

Joanne needs to be bullied harder. Don't engage with whatever she's saying just make fun of her for being obessive and creepy.

I wonder if there's a case to sue JK for this tweet being libelous.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 month ago

There was also tweets by Elon Musk, the Instagram account of Imane is filled with people telling her to sue them

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago

The mroe views she gets the bigger the payout lol

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In the same time they're claiming Algeria is woke and sent a trans woman, they also claim Algerians are backwards who beat up women.

This is actually pretty standard TERF shit. They believe that trans women are men, and that men are inherently violent against women. In this way, sending a trans athlete and beating a woman are manifestations of the same violence.

Die mad, Joanne, the sooner the better.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago

The enemy is too ~~strong~~ woke and too ~~weak~~ backwards

Being AFAB was never going to be enough for these weirdos.

Patriarchal standards never truly went away, and now these fuckers want to bring us back to the 50's

Holy Fuck the transphobic tirades that came out of this is extremely irritating and has me fully convinced people are extremely cooked from the reactionary news juice. It's legitimately depressing and I think the onion has a point.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 month ago (3 children)

“crushing her life’s dream while fighting for her deceased father” really respectful of the dead for the guy who filmed a dead person in the suicide forest for a yt video

I'm glad young me knew the Harry Pothead books were stupid shit for babies when I saw the movie as a pre-teen. Saved me having to be disappointed by this massive fucker of a TERF.

Genuinely Twitter reactionaries would believe anything. Transphobes are incapable of dealing with the actual material complexities of sex and their brain disintegrates when there is any deviation from the rigid binary they learned from children’s films.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The issue for the Italian boxer was apparently an equipment malfunction (boxers wear helmets in the olympics), not that the Algerian boxer was far too strong.

Kind of mad how far this terf shit has spun out of control in recent years. She was at the last olympics and nobody gave a shit then. Now we have major politicians and the official team Italy account fearmongering and all the legacy media I’ve seen are doing the JAQ shite.

Joanne revealing her ass yet again I see.

Many such cases

cat-confused

Joanne and her ilk need bullied for their creepy obsessions

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago

The coverage of this is so fucked. I can't even find a clip of the fight because all the search engines are clogged with TERF frenzy articles and videos

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago

Algerian boxer punched Italian boxer and made her cry

LETS GOOOOOO lets-fucking-go lets-fucking-go lets-fucking-go

Yeah, I don't fw yt people and actively stan Algeria in everything they do KEEP SCROLLING 🗣️🗣️🗣️
