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

as a member of the Chinese community

refers to chinese people as "them"

...right

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I picked that up immediately too.

"We" would be how anyone would actually speak.

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

lmao also i just noticed "my fellow Chinese people" who the fuck talks like that

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

An american pretending to be something they're not.

To be fair the South African president says "my fellow South Africans" all the time. Cyri Ramaphosa is an interesting guy.

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

ok but he's a president. nobody says it casually like that.

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

exactly. when i refer to bi people i say we %100 percent of the time

I'm guessing this is a Canadian who is 1/4 Chinese and therefore thinks they are the world expert on China.

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

yeah, probably true.

it's just a honky

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

And uses "y'all" lmao

(guy who has 4 thousand hours in Genshin) "As a member of the Chinese community..."

Canadians do not take criticism of Canada well.

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

for real. the most tepid criticism gets them so upset, and when they can't think of a comeback it's just "well at least we're better than america"

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

Extremely low bar to clear. Two ghosts in heaven having a pissing contest: "You think dying in an apartment fire is bad? At least I didn't die in a house fire. berdly-smug "

[–] Othello@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago

Canadians are more whiny then americans.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 2 years ago

Bro, no matter how much you kiss the ass of white supremacists, they're still going to lynch you for being Chinese.

As a member of the Italian community, I have observed my fellow Italians take their vespas to the bunga bunga sex parties drunk on breakfast wine and fermented pizza juices. Those filthy, dirty mediterraneans will submerge themselves in a sewer pipe just for a few coins or a chance to eat a mushroom. I have seen them poking their own eyes out from gesturing too much when they have had a spicy meatball. No one will help them of course, because they're all evil and in the mafia. Anyway, I agree with this poster that we all are just the best at taking constructive criticism. For example, if someone says "Great job! You're the best!" we will take that to heart and keep doing what we're doing, even if the person who said it is some kind of disgusting oregano-smelling member of the "Italian community".

pigs can't appreciate fine cuisine

Americans do not consume nutrition. They do not even consume flavor.

When Americans eat, they consume marketing and quantity. They eat aesthetics. The main criteria for food for Americans is having a coherent distinguishable form, and a color scheme like you would see in an ad.

My classmates in high school would look at my lunch and say "That looks like puke", while consuming ungodly reconstituted concoctions of animal products that still manage to be bland, or dipping extremely greasy pizza in ranch or bbq sauce.

Canadian nationalism is a disease

"What's classy if you're white but trashy if you're not?"

Racism apparently.

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

As a white man living in America tbh i think the Chinese should probably view others as inferior. I mean, not in an inherent to their race way, but come on. Have you SEEN China lately? some-controversy CommiePOGGERS

Ask them if the vending machines at Quantico still carry cherry vanilla dr pepper
