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

A famous Greek warrior? Doing homosexuality? In my antiquities?

It's more likely than you think

You can always out-trad these people. Say their minds have been corrupted by christian slave morality and go neopagan on them..

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is very funny seeing white guys lament the lost day of the alpha Viking warrior, then you look at his bio and it’s a proud Christian lol. Empty brain. Just vibes.

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

scandinavians were such hardcore christians during medieval times that they usually got baptised multiple times

because the priests gave you the white robe afterwards and apparentely it was very valuable in the local markets

A bronze age warlord could be named Homosexius Manlover and trad dipshits would still blame the "woke agenda" if you made a show about him kissing dudes between conquests.

Alexander the Top

smh casting a angloid as Alexander, the wokes have won again

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 47 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They should have cast Stavros as Alexander the Great

Alexander the Weight

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Alexander looking at his empire with that Thousand Island Stare:

"And Alexander wept, seeing as he had no more worlds to conquer."

[–] Optimus_Subprime@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did these so called "historians" not watch the older Alexander biopic (2004) with Colin Farrell?

He was bi then, he is bi now. Sheesh.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

he wasnt gay or bi or straight because these are modern concepts the ancients didnt give a shit about people just fucked back then

[–] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What’s the sexual orientation where you fuck the cute eunuch who takes on the women’s role?

Straight, exclusively for Trans-females, that's what the chuds would say...

But yeah, it's actually gay...

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

alexander and many other men openly having sex with many eunichs

actually not gay

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

Weren't the Greeks super gay?

Also why is this Greek man blonde?

Also, why are they calling this warlord "Great"?

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

great, alexander the

Son of Phil the Great

Oh yeah, Macedonians were of the Dorian cultural group (shared a lot with Spartans) that pretty much had regimented militarized homosexuality (i.e. you and a squad/group-mate sharing bunks is socially enforced/expected). It was pretty much a given assumption in society that men would have their wives but also have male lovers as well (different from the Roman stance on homosexuality only being acceptable for those "taking" and not "receiving", i.e. ussually non-consensual) and that these male lovers were commonly the men they trained and studied with.

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

the greeks invented gayness

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yes and no

gayness as an identity is a modern concept the ancients didnt really focus on that they just kind of fucked whoever they wanted there was a lot less social stigma around all that

Also why is this Greek man blonde?

Alexander was Macedonian, and even today there are fairer skinned Greeks. It's not inconceivable that he would be blonde but we honestly don't know.

World's most historically literate reactionary weights in on the famously heterosexual people, the Greeks.

[–] beef_curds@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's not even that good of a time. I can get gay% in sub 5.

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

I know it's not recommended, but i just leave gay on standby.

[–] Dalek@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

Plenty of historical texts describing his love affairs with men and women. Plenty of history describing the ancient Greeks also like that. Later Romans too.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

woah, a greek guy that fucks dudes? this is completely unheard of in human history.

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Were the Macedonians woke?

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago
[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

I'm honestly surprised they haven't pulled an "Alexander was a paedo" card.

Satanic Hollywood making a biopic about a pederast to normalise adrenochrome harvesting etc etc

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Can't they just like, exist in a world where they're sometimes respectfully disagreed with? This isn't life or death.
