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

This mf just fell out of a coconut tree. He doesn't realize that he exists in the context of all in which he lives and what came before him.

[–] crispy_lol@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. They exist in the context of all that came before them.

Getting absolutely blotto on pills and repeating half-remembered theory, pausing to cackle hysterically, is such a vibe

All the cool kids exist out of context

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

Excuse me, are you being racist towards this obviously innocent man by comparing him to the kind of animal that hangs around coconut trees? How dare you!

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Americans “exist” only technically, because the biological processes are happening, but most are barely aware that the world is a place where things happen.

[–] itappearsthat@hexbear.net 75 points 1 year ago (2 children)

if you possess knowledge about what racism is that means there is racism inside your head, and so by definition you are racist. sorry that hexbears can't follow simple logic

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

This is why libs refuse to read theory.

(for the philosophically-inclined this error in reasoning can be thought of as mixing up doxastic attitudes)

This person should be pulled apart by curious orangutans

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

orangutans don't do that. they're too busy healing wounds with poultices and refusing to speak language lest they be put to work. you're thinking of europeans.

I specifically picked the most peaceful ape because it would take forever and be funny

You would have to convince them that racists are full of candy

Racists are full of candy

Loser candy

The field of medical science needs to find out if there's anything left inside, or if it's all been consumed by a writhing mass of brainworms

What hundred of years of anti-black racism comparing african americans to monkeys?

[–] dumpster_dove@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Only racists know this forbidden knowledge

some places in europe still throw bananas at black players in football matches, but okay

[–] Torenico@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Brazilian player Vinicius Jr. gets racially abused every time he plays outside of Real Madrid stadium. Like every fucking time people either make monkey noises or just say the N word for him to hear. It's insane.

spain-cool

Not surprising considering the head of the spanish football federation is an outspoken VOX supporter, they refuse to even try to adress this issue. In fact, every time something happens with Vinicius, former, in activity players or members of the federation would come out and speak about it but they always end up making it worse. They make racist comments while trying to downplay racism at the same time. It takes effort to be this bad.

Happened in rugby recently too, which is a shame, not just by a fan, but a teammate:

"Benetton Rugby prop Ivan Nemer has been suspended until June 30 after giving a rotten banana to team-mate Cherif Traore as a Christmas present. The Italian Rugby Federation confirmed the suspension following an investigation into the incident during a private lunch organised by the club's players on December 20"

This is like such a common conservative rhetorical move and they act like they just hit you with the fist of god

"Ummmm aktually I don't think about race ever in my entire life so you're the real racist for calling me racist QED" smuglord

Literally just saying "no u". These people should be thrown in the barbara-pit

Why did he include the "very large" part?

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Probably trying to create some plausible deniability that it was about her size, not her ethnicity. Which is an astounding defense: “No I’m not making monkey noises because I’m bigoted against black people, I’m making monkey noises because I’m bigoted against plus size women.”

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fatphobia being more accepted than racism I guess...

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're going to make animal noises to mock fat people, you would make hog noises. No one associates monkeys and fatness.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gorilla, maaaaybe. It’s a piss weak plausible deniability to be sure.

Idiots like this say the same thing about “seeing color”.

[–] buh@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

it's always projection

“Look, there could be a lot of reasons I assumed that man carries a satchel of gold coins around his neck, you’re the bigot for assuming I did it because he’s wearing a yarmulke.”

[–] InternetLefty@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

"Guys it JUST means ignorant okay??? You're the real racists for assuming that it was a racist slur!!!"

[–] axont@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

"listen the word just means lazy person. You're the racist for equating it to black people"

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What are the odds he uses the word n****rdly in public then turn around and say "it's ok, it's an unrelated word that predates the slur! It means theyre not generous with money!"

Except he uses it exclusively to refer to black people

[–] Leon_Frotsky@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Unironically used to know a guy like this

It's not racist because the woman is very large very-smart
