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

Treat defender went on the offensive when that Harry Potter game was criticised.

Thread starts here.

This over the fucking Harry Potter game? The one so bad even a decent amount of HP hardcore fans admitted it was mediocre?

[–] Notcontenttobequiet@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

That's literally what I was thinking. And what the Jim/Stephanie Sterling videos outlined.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago

imagine being this emotionally connected to Pigfart's Legacy

[–] Notcontenttobequiet@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

Just read through all of that. Exhausting.

Just one more lane!

[–] TraumaDumpling@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

so focused on distancing the game from the creator's blatant transphobia they miss the dev's blatant antisemitic blood libel plotline of the main quest lmfaooooo

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Apparently the good transgenders love transphobia and antisemitism, maybe someone should go over to blahaj and poll the transfem community on their opinions on this matter,I have a feeling snowe may be surprised by the results thinking-about-it

also I would be honored by the you people bit being a tagline

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Do they know a trans person in real life, have they ever talked to a trans person in the real world, face to face? Hell even anyone from the LGBT community.

You can type all the paragraphs you want, it doesn't mean anything when push comes to shove.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Also, someone who spends all day every day writing articles about how trans people should detransition to receive God's love or something could also, from their perspective, say they've "written thousands of paragraphs in support of trans people." Volume is nothing, content is everything, and the content of this person's screed veers awfully close to standard reactionary bullshit with that "you people just want to be offended!" chestnut.

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If they're all comments from a sports subreddit like the screenshot shows, it's probably to do with defending the rights of a trans athlete to play the sport, at least I would guess so. So the content is likely fine. It's just that most online comments are hypotheticals and don't really track with how someone would deal with a similar situation in person, due to the way the internet works with anonymity and all.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

I looked into their posts on Reddit and they did post stuff against the trans ban in sports there, but their understanding of the systemic nature of trans discrimination is... Lacking

[–] jaeme@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

People who do this type of shit definitely do not know any trans people in real life. Chronically online behavior is linking to Reddit threads for credibility.

When my children ask me what I did during the holocaust, I'll be proud to say I posted about it

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Libs losing an argument then loudly proclaiming how they're going to block Hexbear will never not be funny.

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love the "You people (I swear by You People I don't mean Trans people)"

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"No you don't understand, the transpeople I've made up all agree with me and would celebrate me misgendering you. They all know I'm the one true ally. Every transperson disagreeing with me in this thread is a fake transperson and also mentally ill (which I find contemptible)."

Oh God it's Natalie Ryan discourse (disc course hehe)

I thought I left that behind.

Although I miss the disc golf subreddit I literally cannot force myself to use that dog shit mobile app.
