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

Isn't nutomic pointing out a contradiction in someone else's transphobic rhetoric here?

Transgender topic is pushed by bourgeois

and yet, at the same time bourgeois is pushing anti-trans topic

sounds far fetched to me.

and then off-handedly remarking that the transphobic narrative is off-topic, am I missing something?

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

IDK, the lie that transgender people are promoted by the bourgeoisie is a common trans exclusionary vulgar materialist line.

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TBH, rainbow imperialism strongly pushes people outside of the West to make this mistake.

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah if you base your "analysis" off of relatively surface level things. And even then it's never trans issues specifically.

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They're replying to someone who seems to have asked if they could develop a browser add-on that interacted with Lemmy. Maybe to filter transphobic spam, and attributed such content as the work of the bourgeoisie? Which they disagree with because they've observed rainbow imperialism. Looks like this was a 1:1 private message on some kind of web site.

more context

Yeah that's kinda what it looks like to me, unless i'm missing something.

Nutomic sucks ass but it should be noted that so does Shinigami Eyes. Leftist acounts that are proactivly critical of democrats or anti-zionist lose their green and go neutral constantly. Most noteably recently I noticed that Shaun lost his green on twitter and youtube. Which has to have been because whether because of an actively liberal admin team or just whatever the algortyhm is being susceptible to bad actors, liberals were able to mass report him as "neutral" for being critical of Biden lol.

[–] Procapra@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Naw, being proactively critical of democrats is the correct way to be. There are so many liberals that have gotten comfy calling themselves leftists without any of the work, and I'm gonna make sure they either put in the work or admit they are the enemy.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just to be clear, I agree. I'm saying its bad that accounts like Shaun's are losing their status as "pro-trans" because they criticize the Democrats.

[–] Procapra@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Oh! Yeah dems are really good at making you feel like a bigot when you refuse to support them. MB I misunderstood your comment.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We need something closer to reddit mass tager than the heavily abused shinigami eyes

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

wtf is the deal with quoting "transphobes"

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

Just passive sarcasm denying the reality, and what serious comrade would ever ask "why do they need to be "rooted out"?"

[–] Ambii@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

This makes it look worse, much worse imo

no wonder i have such a bad time on lemmy.ml

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Hi, where are these "transphobes" and why do they needed to be "rooted out"?

gulag

The dunk tank is blocked on lemmy.ml, so idk if he'll see this.

[–] Titou@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

He has a alt on hexbear

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

This is way worse lmao. He would be 100% banned if he were just some random lemmy.ml account, but because he is the principle dev of this shitty Reddit clone, people are going to give him a pass.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Hi, where are these "transphobes" and why do they need to be "rooted out"?

Yeah that's that, this fucker needs to be straight up banned. Unless these are all completely fake.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Yeah I feel like we need to see the larger conversation to get an accurate idea of what’s going on here.

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

The "biological men" thing is a transphobic framing.
