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

Could You Defend Your Beliefs if Your Life Depended on it?

Charles Cullen, a brilliant university professor and ruthless killer, makes a daring escape from a hospital for the criminally insane. Dr. Joseph Kallinger, the psychologist who examined Cullen, is called in to help find him with a burnt-out cop who thinks Kallinger’s diagnosis is to blame for the situation they’re in.

On the college campus, Evangelical Christian Danny Ranes arrives for his freshman year and falls for bold and beautiful Shavonda Jackson, who introduces him to social justice and identity politics.

Danny begins a life-changing journey of deconstructing his faith and is drawn into a network of radical activism. He is forced to make a dangerous choice that may change his life forever.

Ideas Have Consequences

And then the frightening video recordings start to show up. Charles Cullen captures college professors and debates with them on screen. The proposition: his moral right to kill them. Can the psychologist and cop catch the serial killer and stop his philosophical murders or will their own inner demons break them first?

When you read this novel, it will lead you on a frightening rollercoaster of deep thought and high suspense with pulse-pounding chills into the very meaning of the existence of God.

The Theological Thriller Novel Series

Cruel Logic is the first in the Theological Thriller Novel series of riveting suspenseful novels about human nature, the problem of evil, and the existence of God.

I’m genuinely surprised that a boomer chud described a Black woman as attractive. I’m sure the book portrays her as an eeeevil, black supremacist, castrating siren who uses her womanly wiles to put all white men in camps, but still: the portrayal is kinda different. I’m so used to white conservatives masculinizing Black women. Author still sucks, though.

The Black Jezebel is a pretty old trope. Much like the Big Black Buck it was another method of dehumanization by reducing black people to base creatures defined by their sexuality.

There has always been a simultaneous sexualization and attraction and unattractive assigned to black femmes by white supremacist culture.

I take it you've never seen 'Goldfinger.' Lesbian stunt pilot [movie]/burglar [book] Pussy Galore falls for James Bond after he 'seduces' her.

The beautiful but deadly minority woman has been a thing since the Fu Manchu books.

Oh, yeah, no doubt. But the dehumanization of Black women isn’t the same as what Asian women and other women of color go through. Like, there’s no dragon lady stereotype for us, just rage-filled jokes about Beyoncé and Michelle Obama being men.

Back in the day, Colin Powell was every GOPs dream candidate for Vice President. We always heard that he never put himself forward because his wife didn't want him to do it. After seeing eight years of Michelle Obama hate I can understand why.

Sounds like I'd be under duress.

Wait, why is the guy trying to capture the murderer also named after a killer.
