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

Actually, everyone who swipes you on tinder is legally entitled to your entire medical history and those of your parents, didn't you know?

Okay I'll let it slide this one time. But if you've got cilantro soap gene it's OVER

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

talk about a white lie

Autismdragon, where do you dig this shit up? I have the instinctual notion that it'd be a lot healthier for you to delete twitter meow-hug

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Leaving Twitter would improve the mental health of everybody on it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

And a lot of people who aren't.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But then where would i get dunk tank content lol?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well yeah twitter is a nazi website.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

Legally considered a Nazi website*

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago (2 children)

By this logic, all these tinder fuckbois would be just as guilty, considering all the lies on their profiles they put there to get laid. Somehow I doubt they'd be ok with being arrested for it though.

He told me it was six inches but it was actually 5.5, jail.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

And what about lying by omission?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago

If a woman is wearing make up and you lay with her, she has committed r***

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

Yet somehow the users posting the various case law across multiple counties where overwhelmingly courts found it wasn't, never got elevated.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

Yes, as famously documented in the movie Clerks:

Try not to suck any dick on the way to the parking lot.

"bodycount" is a really stupid word for it ..drowing a good and fun thing in complete negativity .. and who died ?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i've always hated the term. people i fuck don't all drop dead!

~~that's reserved for the lucky ones~~

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

people i fuck don't all drop dead!

You are not that one charachter from American Horror Story?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

sadly not. rumors of my lovers' deaths have been greatly exaggerated

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Or the first episode of torchwood

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

wasn't every other white person guilty of this back when they'd change their name fresh off the boat from "wojniewiczkowski" or "grunderstofferheinzten" to "smith"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

That was actually just racism - the Anglos didn't consider the non-Anglo Europeans to be "White" at the time, and changed their names on legal documents as part of the immigration process.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

yes but the the Anglos were robbed of the opportunity to be racist to perfectly good non-anglos--they were socially raped by deception (most ended up mixing with them too)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck everything about that

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

body count could be loosely associated with STI risk but if you're hooking up same night, you're implicitly waiving any potential right to a screening.

i'd prefer to know what i'm working with ahead of time and i'm stopping at second base if i don't like what's in your pants but whatever standard of disclosure we have needs to first and foremost be about the safety of trans people.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i'm stopping at second base if i don't like what's in your pants

Somehow I don't think that many of us are waiting until things get hot and heavy to discuss our anatomy if it applies, since that frequently results in us getting fucking killed. Pretty sure this is more of a, 'post op perfectly passing trans woman DIDNT TELL HIM!!!1!' scenario, because it's not like chuds & terfs acknowledge any other kind of real trans person.

yeah it's always a little weird trying to figure out who the hogs are talking about. I can't imagine putting yourself in that situation with a stranger deliberately.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Reliable assumption: some kind of nonexistent boogeyman. This case is an exception however, because if you are a passing trans woman with a vag, there is obviously no requirement to tell anybody about your gender, and given the option many trans people would likely happily skip the "discussing my gender with a guy who might kill me" component of a hookup, which is a valid choice and where this comes from.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

what counts as deception in this case is it deception if you fuck someone because you like a body part and it turns out to be implants? because considering that rape is fucking stupid

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm an SA victim because I motorboated a cis woman's tits and she didn't tell me she got enlargement surgery frothingfash

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

See, the thing is, it IS morally questionable to keep information someone would care about secret during and before sex, but in both the examples of breast enlargement surgery and trans people, if the person who claims to care could not already tell, then any possible reason they could have to care indicates they are a reactionary. Sure, it would be morally questionable to hide the fact that you’re a different job (this is a bad example, I can’t think of a better one) or something so you can get into someone’s pants, because it implies a whole host of other lies and dishonesties going on, but there is no such issue with being trans or having breast implants. Any non-insane issue you could have with either would be entirely sourced in bigotry or just pure magical thinking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Not even just people you care about, I've known people basically catfished before a tinder hookup, and then feeling pressured to still have sex after coming over because they didn't wanna feel shallow or rude for walking out. Most people tend to use more favorable pics of themselves but a lot of guys out there have pics on their tinder profile from like 5 years ago when they look like a whole other person now

It’s cool that ice’s band is named after how many people u fucke down.

Moral of the story: Sometimes the law is wrong, even stupid
