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

I was like "Blaire White?" after reading the title and before I removed the NSFW filter. Once I clicked, I got the reminder that there's another token self-hating trans woman simping for conservatives. To think that this woman was seen as a major icon for the trans community when she first came out is so upsetting.

She's STILL the first trans person your average person thinks of when you mention trans people which is honestly horrifying.

I know people who believe Caitlyn Jenner was the first trans person and in fact invented being trans

I remember libs saying how her being a Republican would help get the right to accept trans people more, but the hogs just included her in their transphobic memes and booed her at CPAC.

You'd think that shit would've been a wakeup call for Caitlyn, that she'd realize trying to appeal to chuds and be "one of the good ones" is fruitless when they outright despise her. Not even behind closed doors, but publicly. Instead she's been doubling down on the pandering.
