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

I see a snoo, I bully. simple as.
why the fuck are they even here
you want to be a liberal shitbag on reddit? go ahead, no one will say a damn thing, they got thousands of times more users, subreddits, and content
lmao
Why have you posted a good take? I'm dissapointed, I'd like to speak to the manager.
Me normally:
GSRM (Gender Sexual and Romantic Minorities) is a great concise phrasing to make everyone feel included. 
Me when a chud goes off about too many letter:
"
I'M ADDING MORE LETTERS JUST FOR YOU BIGOT
and there's going to be 10000 new ones every time you bitch about it 
The acronym just got 10 letters longer 
no more half measures walter
too closely resembles ASMR and GRRM
George RR Martin breathily reads you a romantic scene between two trans women: GRRM GSRM ASMR
GSRM (Gender Sexual and Romantic Minorities) is a great concise phrasing to make everyone feel included
As a cishet I'm really glad I found this as an option because while "queer" is a good catchall term IMO I don't generally feel comfortable using an arguably reclaimed slur as someone outside of the group it was used against except around people who know I'm not a chud about to pull out some more antiquated tactical slurs.
lemm.ee
sigh
By calling me a bigot, you're the real bigot yourself 
I should probably stop assuming people have encyclopedic knowledge of The Simpsons, nevertheless:
Phony McRingring: ...and scientists have shown that even monkeys can remember 10 characters! You're not stupider than a monkey, right?
How big of a monkey?
ngl it is a tedious acronym and this is coming from one of the letters that's usually not included (I'm ace). I say queer instead when I need to refer to all of us broadly.
That redditor's a douche tho
I say queer instead
seems to be p widely agreed upon as the solution, but anyone complaining about the acronym should still be shot on sight
Bigots keep raging about it 24/7, they've been a fucking joke for years.
you are truly a bunch of imbecile
Never call people "u r dum" names while making typos like that. 
Every time you complain we're gonna add another letter.
It's the guy who was doing anticommunist trolling on Lemmygrad and defending the Brave browser 
So brave. 
It's not our fault the masses are generally a disgusting horde of thoughtless, hedonistic nazis that can't be bothered to read anything that might challenge their base pleasure they find in bullying "weirdos". Let alone have the intellectual capacity to understand something as basic as "kindness".
Do they really think mindless automatons like 
are in the right about such issues? Let alone ANY issue?
Actually, hedonism was invented by a Greek philosopher who was rare among his contemporaries for allowing women and slaves to study at his school as equals. He believed a life of simple pleasures in moderation was the key to happiness. He spent all day gardening and discussing philosophy, and then had a glass of wine and (CW: carnism) cheese before bed. He was also an empiricist who believed the world was made of atoms, and he taught that fear of death was the cause of a great deal of human suffering. He believed people should act with kindness in order to ease their own conscience, instead of doing it because they're scared of divine punishment.

Hedonism is antifascist.
Proposal for the last sentence to become a tagline.
I prefer the Swedish acronym HBTQ, even shorter. Merges L and G as homosexual. I don't mind if people use more letters but it just invited ridicule and is frankly beats the point of the original acronym which is supposed to include everyone.
giving a shit about what bigots think is pointless. I use queer for brevity but I will go at it with anyone who tries to mock additional letters getting added on. being more inclusive is never a bad thing.
Could argue that the more groups you specify with new letters the more groups will be left out as it no longer feels like it represents everyone if they don't get their own letter, making it less inclusive.
i like the +, it's like if the letter T was queer
