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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

omg hexbear circumcision is not worse than SA. please be normal.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

whoa wait who said anything about "worse"? It's a violation of bodily autonomy and that should be sufficient

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

read the OP! it's literally the subject of this thread!

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

he's doing racism, saying he had his genitals mutilated which is something dirty muslims do but doesn't happen in "the west" so much

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

he literally - in those exact words - said it's worse than

CW: SArape

and that it's a greater harm than western women know. he's doing a lot more than being racist.

and if you click into the thread, you'd see that he's downplaying SA to the point that he said it's worse to break a leg.

seriously dude read the OP. I'm not talking about subtext. you've failed to read the actual text.

i have only read the screenshot and i'm gonna not click through, that sounds like a bad time.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

you've missed the text in picking up the subtext. the comparison of circumcision to sexual violence is wild on it's face. it gets wilder when you know he means all SV. I can't tell if you're missing the misogyny and how inappropriate it is to use this thread to go off about how terrible circumcision is - a practice I am unequivocally not defending - or if you straight up can't read.

JohnBrownNote isn't defending the SA comment. Stop badjacketing them.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I will of course not defend any antifeminism he's saying elsewhere, but I do take the text to be about genital cutting, and i don't see how that could ever not fall under sexual violence when what's his ass kellogg was fervently anti-masturbation and him/his ideology are why it became a thing in protestant mayoland.

I don't think the intent is there, johnny here is just anti circumcision (and worded it very unfortunately) which is a good thing and even trans positive because you get better outcomes with SRS later in life without infant mutilation involved
