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

Debate nerds triggered by someone shooting back with a "stfu nerd" instead of a dissertation.

They're not even debate nerds. I've gone thru debatey discussions with a bunch of them, and they just end up in a circular loop or being condescending and then crying foul when you say they're being condescending.
One of their favorite phrases is "don't put words in my mouth" and "strawman" which is apparently when you quote what they say back at them.

They don’t care about the truth, they just want an excuse to be self righteous

You literally couldn't make it easier for these morons to use the right pronouns

That's the most redditly comment I've ever read.

I can just see them clicking post feeling like it's the sickest burn.

i'm so so glad that tumblr outgrew insults like this in like 2015 and i haven't had to see them since. overly verbose "i'm smarter than you and so not owned" insults are up there with the most cringe ass shit the internet does.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'll be honest, I'm still kind of partial to calling people troglodytes, but I mostly do it because I've been trying to get update my vocabulary to not be ableist. Also I think it's funny to call people troglodytes when they begin talking about what a woman should or should not be, which WAAAAAY too many men around me have a habit of doing.

I gotta say, I was expecting vitriol when I first got a reply to a comment from a Hexbear user, but y'all are genuinely appreciative of discourse and it's been refreshing to not immediately be attacked when I argue in good faith. Y'all are getting a bad rap lol, glad to be able to communicate with you

Rule 1 of making insults: don't hint about your sexual fetish

Something about the way he phrased it makes me think this is one of those breast milk ice cream guys

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 years ago (1 children)

we need to put a stop to all new kinds of guys until we can figure out what the fuck is going on

He says it in a way like of course everyone secretly wishes they could still breastfeed, but he’s grownup enough to resist the temptation and we’re not, or something

I’d edit out the stuff about calling him a diaper fetishist, nothing wrong with that on its own afaik

Now that's a weird pervert

Is it not strawmanning to represent your opponent as a... "cave-dwelling infant"?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I think it's technically an ad hominem.

Strawmanning would usually be misrepresenting somebodies argument instead.
