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

Read the room, obviously child mutilation is wrong but comparing it to SA is some real MRA brainworms

I hate how a legitimate grievance has been hijacked by misogynist far-right assholes

Ya they're fucking toxic and I deal with them all the time in the anti-circ movement.

the reason it can't find wider support is that it is in practice not detrimental to most circumcised peoples' quality of life. as an issue it finds a home in masculinist grievance politics because it serves as the perfect metaphor for their sense that they have been permanently victimized and unprotected since birth.

Surveys show that ten percent of adults regret that it was done to them as a kid, and the number is getting bigger as people learn more about it. To me there's no question: don't do aesthetic surgery on unconsenting babies.

in the screenshot he's talking about FGM.

if anything he's erasing SA

in the screenshot he's talking about FGM.

I don't think so?

His entire account history seems to be so deeply misogynistic, that if anything he'd probably be pro-fgm just to make womens lifes worse

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

that's the distinction he's making on "pretty much all Western women" is where we get that from. He had his genitals cut, "we" don't do that over here to girls.

i'm sure he doesn't actually care about it as an issue other than to be racist.

The guy is definitely racist, but again, his entire account history is hating women. His racism is secondary to his misogyni.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

right, he doesn't care about FGM he was just just using (the absence of it in the "west") as a cudgel
