For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
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 bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

this shit is driving me mad, why is everyone arguing about the guy with torrettes instead of banding together to tar and teather the person(s) responsible for this thing not getting censored?
you hate to see the divide and conquer shit working so thoroughly
Someone said that "guy with tourettes loudly shouts the n word at black actors at an award show" could be a standardized test question for Woke 2 and I thought that was funny.
Anyway, as someone with Tourette's (not as bad as this guy but still,) I know that you can't control it but I also sympatize with the actors who were (unintentionally) greviously insulted during what should have been a proud moment for them. I think if anyone was in the wrong, it'd be the BBC for not cutting it (it wasn't even a live broadcast and they cut other shit including "Free Palestine," they thought this was more appropriate than that)
Kind of surprised that the website that just had a discussion on if words like "see" were ableist would have a struggle session about this.
I'm not dismissing the importance of speech, but it is easier to engage with the concept of ableist speech/wording than with a lot of other, more difficult aspects of ableism.

I lathed too hard, sorry comrades
holy shit 
step away from the lathe of heaven
Hexbear is so back.
Please don't make light of this. It's clearly deeply painful for everyone involved.
It's c/slop. If the site wants to seriously hash out this issue then why not make a serious dedicated thread and create an actual dialogue? Oh wait that's too productive. Let's just have serious discussions about twitter posts some more.
These discussions happen where they happen organically. People are being serious in this thread. "It's /c/slop" isn't a reason to make light of that.
I'm actually responding with the correct amount of levity, thank you. Blocking you now since you feel entitled to be involved in my posting decisions and seem to be operating under the assumption that I am somehow socially responsible to you in some way.
Poddy Mouth had a good response to the whole event. Featured some black people with tourettes too.
thing with intersectionality is that there are going to be actual people in that intersection and they have the most authority to speak.

Can you link this? Or even better, make a separate post with it? This sounds incredibly valuable in this situation.
i've blocked popculture and that's probably the most appropriate place for it but here's the 15 minute cutout from the 2 hour live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKgdiyI_TCI
I ended up posting it to popculture. Let me know if you want me to credit you by name for the recommendation.

Having Tourette’s is not equatable with owning slaves but I missed any previous struggle sessions on this so go off folks
