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 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

come one come all and yell at this shithead, they can see our replies but we can't see theirs 
shoved down everyone's throat
What's with anti-LGBTQIA+ bigots and repetitive predictable use of that phrasing?
Freudian slip. "I hope all these [slur]s will not shove it down my throat... God it is so thick... I think I'd gag."
It's not new, it's something bigots say whenever they want to overtly direct their ire towards something that isn't particularly offensive; they know if they were more open they'd be rightfully hated, so they couch their terminology to make it sound like the minority group is oppressing them.
holy fuck we're so powerful
The knifecat and heartcat grew three sizes bigger that day. :SickoGrinch:
Also, the "butthurt" and "forced down throats" phrasing. As usual. 
everything I don't like is gay
Bigots seem to invoke gay sex imagery more than gay people do, and without the happy mutual pleasure vibes. To chuds, it's all violence that they want to dish out and are terrified of receiving. 
Oh hey, I'm in that screenshot!
i love my trans comrades :3
Disagree with what? DISAGREE WITH WHAT MOTHERFUCKER? 
Incredibly common hexbear win
you're pushing me to the right as if I wasn't there already 
[insert matt bors comic here]
Wait I thought we were fascists pretending to be trans?
you're pretending?
no, it's just me pretending. everyone is valid but me.
everyone is valid, especially you
The person reading this is the most valid of all
Yes I'm actually an undercover transvestigator
I would have respected your human rights but you had to go and demand for them
Boy I sure am glad that all the claims of transphobia was just Hexbear "saving face" because we were upset that the sane reasonable people didn't like us for being tankies.
Sorry everyone, it's my fault. I called turtlepower an egg. 😔
edit: you fools! I never did such a thing!!
I get where you're coming from. I think they doth protest too much.
Pfffft like they even know what that term means.
"THESE EBIL HEXBEARS SAY THAT IM SCRAMBLED!"
his brain's def scrambled
That was my first thought too! It has that Lovecraftian, Dreherian horror of "They're gonna trans me!" and it's like, why is that both your firm belief and first concern lol
I've had trans people try to convince me that I am trans
lmao isn't that mostly a bit where trans folks look back at their own perspective and are like "ah should have been obvious". I've seen a handful of people who used to be like this guy, then had someone say this to them, then they were like "o shit" and they've been on HRT for 3 years.
Idk maybe this guy should try on some skirts before he goes showing his ass on forums.
TRANS RIGHTS HUMAN RIGHTS
turtlepower goes where trans people exist
Trans person: "Well howdy friend! Are you trans too?"
turtlepower: "STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME TRANS!"
so many trans people trying to make the whole world trans
Someone saw that Twitter that combines flags and took a 🏳️⚧️ +🇺🇳 flag too seriously
trying to make the whole world trans
Fucking dumb. It's like saying anti-racists are trying to make the world a single race. No dumb ass they're trying to make the world not racist.
They're being told people should be able to choose the kind of person they want to be without having to worry about all the gendered propaganda we've been fed our entire life. Their response:
I will NOT stand for that shit.
Just because they're unhappy with what they were born with doesn't mean everyone feels that way.
Just a complete fundamental misunderstanding of everything while also being an entitled shit. I doubt they fit perfectly in to society's cubicuboctahedron role they were assigned at birth and drilled in to them every day of their life by all the people they love. Stay ignorant.
this is always such a funny tack for them to take. do they think we want "allies" as bloodless as they are? "you were mean once so i flipped" alright well i'd rather just count that as an enemy 100% of the time because they're literally worth less than garbage
people like this diaping out is proof that 
is a force for good on the lemmyverse
turtle power? more like turd shower.
boom. gottem.
Trans are objectively more valuable than cis. ~~We got a lot more of the latter to spare~~ Since their public existence in society and the reactions against their public existence do highlight contradictions that have to be dealt with in a proper manner. This means creating a world in which there is no transphobia and eliminating the material base for transphobia as well.
Also it does affect the validity of their opinion, I don't give a fuck about a privileged well of person telling me how the poor have too much money.
Who's taking bets on the chance that turtlepower is an egg?
Oh man I found a funny gem in the comments: https://lemm.ee/comment/3581203
‘let me derail this trans-positive post to complain about tankies’ 
I laughed out loud at this description of us:
“many of their users act basically like 4chan without the racism, sexism, anti semitsm, transphobia and all of that”
My 
broke from overload
I've had trans people try to convince me that I am trans
I mean yeah, same, i've had people (trans and cis) tell me i should transition, or get on T, or "wait, you use she/her? really?" - but the difference is that i'm capable of understanding that these are just shitty people who have a problem with GNC people and/or women who aren't feminine or conventionally attractive. Is it misogynistic, implying that women should look/behave/dress a certain way? Yeah, absolutely, but that makes that one individual person a dick, it doesn't fucking imply that an entire group of people are a cult or shouldn't have rights or some shit, jesus.
