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've also noticed that any talk against it is quickly threatened and or "moderated" by the admins here. For a group that claims to be so open they sure don't appreciate any viewpoints contrary to their own, and the admins are quite efficient at using their "power" to censor it.

You can’t just use terms like “Pro-Bigot” and expect people to tribally buy into what they are without explaining what they MEAN.

Right-wing Star Trek defenders are a special type of weirdo.

There's plenty of hate speech directed against white people, Christians and conservatives. Don't pretend that it's all coming from one side.

Yes I hate you

Holy fucking shit! The victim complex is astounding. I have two dads. A bio dad and a step dad. I call them both dad.

It's amazing how the chud brain will almost always fall back to semantics when these kinds of topics come up, and yet still completely fail to understand how language works. This is the same line of reasoning employed when they piss the bed over oat/soy milk, or vegetarian sausages. It is utterly deranged.

I like how their final argument is that Star Trek was always about preserving the past (???) and that somehow a person having two mothers destroys their heritage, or some such shit. I can literally hear them pissing and shidding their pants.

The understand precisely how language works, which is why they resort to these exhausting semantic arguments.

Also, I find the term “sperm donor” offensive.

Just endlessly arguing around the edge of a point in hopes of exhausting the opposition and "winning" the argument.

Kill Your Heroes, folks. Only the good die young.
