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 [email protected]

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

Looking at her own books, I think she actually believes adoptive mothers just... aren't real. Not just trans mothers, which she is obviously dancing around, but as far as JK is concerned literally any child that is ever adopted is never really part of the family. Every time a child is adopted they're just put under the stairs.

At least she's consistent I guess. Her books kinda make sense (this half wizard is technically not my full genetic chromosomal kin, so I shall keep his nasty moppy head under the stairs, go for a bacon eh doodley?)

Also aren't many adoptive mothers technically trans-mothers too? They were unable to be mothers but they transitioned into motherhood (by adopting) Actually all mothers are trans-mothers if you want to use that for some shenanigans

Potter world is very eugenicsy, while simultaneously believing it is anti-racist

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Yeah we denigrate entire races of sentient magical creatures, but VOLDEMORT is the real racist because he thinks people who aren't 'pureblood' are scum even though we kind of think that too"

Anyone who says "large gamete" outside of a classroom should go in a pit.

Also I find it a little amusing that transphobes have literally no idea what actually upsets trans people. Like, your shtick would work better if a single trans person had ever complained about mother's day. Just a big ol circle jerk of transphobia.

gamete

Japanese lookin ass word

Didn't Godzilla fight him?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

hmm do we shrink godzilla or enlarge the gametes for that?

I don't even take time out of my day to antagonize people who actually deserve it, and I have nothing going on. The fuck's wrong with people who do this

Money induced brain rot.

I simply do not view JKR tweets. Feels so good.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just don't get why she's so willing to die on this hill. She could have gone away as one of the most beloved authors of modern history, but she's determined to run it all into the ground.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She developed the rich person thing of being completely detached from humanity while also tweeting 400 times a day. She hasn't lived in normal person reality for decades.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Says a lot about her immediate social life if she's tweeting a lot

That Pratchett's gone and she's still alive and a successful writer is definitve proof that god hates fantasy literature.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Huh, I grew out of being a shitty 12 year old without even billions of dollars and a castle, guess I'm just built different

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

Somehow, even though she's clearly gone mask off, there are still people who are trying to argue that she's not transphobic whatsoever.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She is in dire need of a cinderblock to the face

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Only a cinder block? How merciful

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Joanne please just go away.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So that's what the J stands for

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

Tbh I read Harry Potter as a kid quiet voraciously and I didnt know this until /r/gendercynical and other trans subreddits started calling her that lol.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lies, her full name is Jowling Kowling Rowling

If you told me in 2014 that in the 20s instead of flying cars we'll have JK Rowling talk like an incel because she's upset by transsexuals on twitter all day with that "females" shit I'd think you were from like one of those bad timeline things in Sci-Fi where things are just comically depressing as a contrast to the main timeline

To think there are those for whom this constitutes bravery

Robert Galbraith is my least favorite author.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Still in awe that she used a doctor who argued for using electroshock to "cure" homosexuality as a nom de plume, yet people still deny that J.K. Rowling is a bigot.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

How wild that she randomly picked that name no doubt

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

well you see it was his middle name clown-to-clown-conversation

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

One of the most insufferable scumbags on earth posted another crime against the internet, shocker.

Can someone do something funny to her or her house? milkshake

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She lives in a castle.

Gonna need, like, a trebuchet to [REDACTED] her.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

If she is so "middle"-aged then we got the perfect tool for her gui-trans

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Happy Chopper's Day to all attack helicopters.

Now please strafe this specific castle.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I guess the terf's mediocre books post-HP(which those are also trash) arent getting attention so she's pandering to the chuds? Otherwise i have no idea why she's willing to die on the terf hill.
