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
I would be real disappointed if that was true
Also, why are pronouns bad when we do it?
So people here are right wingers pretending to be trans and left wing. In order to keep up the charade, we suppress our deeply held right wing urges to hate gay people by banning all homophobia, mandating pronouns, and having explicitly pro-trans comms. And we've done all of this completely isolated for years.
And we have executed this plot in order to....?
If they had the words they could critique us for our non consistent attitude in regards to anti imperialism vs progressivism in terms of liberalism etc. and a couple other things (which is in part a result of our diversity and left unity and in parts of other things).
However even if they had the words a vast majority would still use ill fitting attacks.
We are the right wing? Does this mean we can get corporate funding and unlimited access to the mainstream media?
I can't wait for my first wingnut welfare check 🤑 
shit, I forgot to give the Heritage Foundation my direct deposit details
Hi I'm pansexual and agender and I've been a Hexbeat user since day one and I say that Hexbear is the single beat LGBT community I've ever been in
Oh no, I'm being shot! Those dastardly cishets must be using me as a shield! Oh wait no they're not, it's just liberals being bigoted and blaming it on the left
Also I think Hexbear has the highest proportion of queer users for any website that isn't explicitly focused on queer people. Gay porn sites probably have more straight people than we do
Hexbear, I'm told by insider sources, is Potemkin leftism - it's a grand performative conspiracy where the far-right congregate to LARP as leftists as a means of tricking good, honest liberals and as a means of indoctrinating naive, newly-minted leftists into deplorable acts such as "reading theory", denouncing Va*sh, and adopting a position of revolutionary defeatism which is inherently racist against People of NATO.
It's disgusting.
Wait....Actually humanity, yes we are right-wing. We have the good ideology. We're not leftists we're just alt-libertarians. We have all the same biases and prejudices you do, so vote us in power and we will get you the special treatment you deserve, we promise. 
What does his edit mean? Does he want us to bully LGBT people because we're supposed to be right wing baddies in his mind?
mfw people aren't being mean to lgbtq people
Pronouns in usernames is WHY I decided to stay on hexbear instead of jumping from instance to instance with the great reddit exodus of '23.
I'm still learning to interact with y'all, but I appreciate how tight knit the community is and how y'all interact with each other.
On that though, I genuinely can't see how people'd think this is a right wing instance pretending to be left wing, it's like they haven't even looked at the instance beyond a cursory glance
For a fun game go to blahaj.zone and search locally for any mention of 
"In fact, we carried, before we had a pride flag, we carried the North Vietnamese flag as our pride flag. Now you could hear that and think “well that’s interesting”, but it wasn’t just an abstract thing.
(And by the way, I know there’s some people who have to leave at, uh, for a nursing class here; nobody’s gonna look at you funny when you go. I know people are starting to get nervous about—don’t worry, you go with our grace.)
So, the Gay Liberation Front and the Third World Liberation Front named themselves in solidarity with the North Vietnamese people at a time when that was considered treason. That’s like now, coming out and defending the resistance of the Iraqi people, the Palestinian people, the North Korean people, the Iranian people, the Cuban people. We face getting beaten up on the streets for marching with the Vietnamese flag but we knew that if we didn’t defend the Vietnamese people we were gonna weaken, first of all the people who deserved our support because we were the aircraft carrier in which the war was being launched in all our names. We would lose the solidarity with the Vietnamese people and we would lose our own political souls and movement as well if we didn’t take a position in support.
We were supporters on the front lines of the women’s liberation movement even when there were some who didn’t want us to be there—who said ooh, if you could just get out of the way, because you know, we’re strong women and they’re calling us lesbians [be]cause you’re around. We’re like, excuse me, we’re withstanding the lesbian invading—you better get used to that. As strong women you better get used to saying “and yes, many of us are!” Because otherwise, you’ll just back yourself right off a cliff. And I would ask you, do we have an equal rights amendment today? It was not a winning strategy.
We were involved in all these struggles, but not because we said it’s gonna be a tit-for-tat: “I’ll do this if you’ll do that. I’ll come to your demo Wednesday if you come to mine Thursday.” We did it because we knew it was a fight we had to join and be a part of. And it strengthened all—"
i was browsing blahaj to see what the aftermath of defederation was like. reading the thread this came from made me so angry i had to just stop
