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

My mom sent me this and said "must watch"

My mother is a post-op trans woman btw, and also the most reactionary conservative person I have ever met.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does she still say stuff like "gender identity disorder" unironically?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 59 points 2 years ago (7 children)

Her Twitter bio says "challenging transactivist nonsense" so

She's a party functionary of the local log cabin republicans and has showed up (in the news) at anti drag-story time protests.

She's obsessed with the groomer narrative. It's funny at one point she used to say she knew she was trans since she was a child. Now it seems she thinks children shouldn't even know transgender people can exist. I think it's some kind of narcissism in which she thinks she's legitimately transgender and everyone else was tricked into it.

It's wild

Did you find it? Don't want to dox myself but feel free to clown on her as long as it doesn't come back to me lmao

I just assumed there was a blue-check because unless someone pays the bazinga tax there's hundreds if not thousands of bazingas that are prioritized in front of anything the person posts.

Oh well you're right though, that fool pays for Twitter

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She's obsessed with the groomer narrative.

Doesn't this mean she's the groomer in the case of raising you? Do transphobic people not have a cell of logic in their brains?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She wasn't out till I was like 15

Though once I asked her if her and my stepmom were grooming me when they'd watch RuPaul with us since we were 10-12 lmao she got pissed as hell "not the same"

May even be some boomeresque sunk cost fallacy: "UNLESS YOU SPENT X DOLLARS ON SURGERY LIKE I DID, YOU DON'T COUNT!"

[–] windowlicker@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

there are a sect of (mostly, in my experience) older, white trans people who still seem to be locked into the rigid structure of gender roles and believe that you can only be considered your gender after numerous (very expensive!) surgeries and presenting in a certain way.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Capitalist mindset means everything is more legitimate if it's also more expensive.

Oh, nice apartment, but it's not a real house, unlike my McMansion.

Cute boat, but my yacht is better.

Oh you have a functional car? Yeah I drive a hummer.

Darling, you took an uber here? My chauffeur drove me in a limousine.

Etc etc.

To a large degree it's a function of what medical gatekeeping for transition looked like until 2011 in the US. You get through that either by learning to lie to doctors (often with community support) or internalizing it heavily.

You still see that with younger transmeds/people who self identify as HSTS. But I think you're right that it's mostly older white trans people.

[–] windowlicker@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (7 children)

oh yeah it is absolutely the medical structure that made so many of them internalize it. i've observed that so many of them seem to treat transness as a disease or an unfortunate affliction they must overcome through treatment and that's 100% a result of navigating the medical system. its an inherent flaw with tying transition to the medical system i think, but i digress.

but its also just them being older too. they just grew up with heavier enforcement of the patriarchal standard (women look this way, men look this way, you need these parts to be female and these parts to be male). its super generational, i think younger transmeds are a very loud yet tiny minority.

"MOST TRIGGERING COMEDY"

If chuds have to announce it's a comedy, that's already a sign it isn't funny, but still entertaining for hateful pieces of shit that want to clap and performatively laugh out of agreement with the message.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Without the labels they actually can get mad at the joke created for them. It's wild

I tried sharing a recent headline from The Onion with a relative since was the closest thing to chud-tier they've posted in a while. He didn't get the humor at all and thought it was being played straight. did-i-miss-a-page

He then shared a Babylon bee article which was just a worse version that also punched down. abby-exasperation

Is this gonna be another example of conservative "comedy" where they get so mad at their own strawman halfway through the joke that they forget there's supposed to be a punchline

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This implies that there’s conservative “comedy” that isn’t like that

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mike Nelson managed to be actually funny during Mystery Science Theater 3000's run while also being a conservative chud off stage.

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Good example, he's a real funny guy. I got the impression he was a lib though, or is these days, rather than full on frothingfash

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

There's also just calling people slurs that's their other form.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm not triggered by it, I'm just probably not going to watch it. It's not like it makes me mad, it's just annoying. Triggers are totally recognized by the right when it's a troop being haunted by the ghosts of the children they slaughtered. Safe spaces are easily communicated when it's your horrible wife interrupting football on the TV.

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

Edgelord shit like that is the safe space for edgelords. And their "trigger" is people telling them to not be assholes.

This looks like some shitty low budget comedy from the 2000's. Makes sense with how that crowd thinks being funny involves repeating tropes from that time period and expecting people half their age to laugh.

Is Crowder still doing his Chris Rock impression or did he finally learn that Kevin Hart exists?

Checks out; the "Million Dollar Extreme" edgelords didn't get any younger.

written and directed by a guy who's name is literally Jeremy Boreing, who used to work in Matt Walsh's podcast, oh he's the cofounder and owner of the daily wire

i'm not looking forward to the next decade

these guys are just shamelessly writing fanfic where they get to beat up women, and they're going to get away with it

From the minds that brought you Loqueesha and Saving Christmas

More utter bullshit

Edit, the hoodie link I put in by mistake

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Saving Christmas

excuse me, in this house it is called Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas.

It was directed by Darren Doane and written by Doane and Cheston Hervey, based on an original story by Kirk Cameron.

The movie stars Cameron as a fictionalized version of himself. In Saving Christmas, Cameron, after explaining his views on Christmas directly to the audience, tries to convince his fictional brother-in-law, played by the film's director, that Christmas is still a Christian holiday.

The film received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was nominated in six categories for the 35th Golden Raspberry Awards and won four, including Worst Picture. It also became the lowest-rated film on the IMDb Bottom 100 List within one month of its theatrical release, and is now considered one of the worst films of all time.

Christian complains that several elements of Christmas, most notably Christmas trees, are not biblical in origin. Cameron tells him that Christmas trees were God's idea since God created trees.

That means the Easter bunny and Santa Claus are biblical since God created human imagination

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's also sacrilegious as fuck because the Bible has a bit about not keeping tree in doors specifically in response to Saturnalia (etc.) which were where the tradition was later adapted from

Who am i kidding, this shit is 80 minutes with credits

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Plot twist: it turns out they're all actually trans and the second half is them coming to terms with that while getting out of the weird hole they just dug themselves. That would even be a pretty good comedy.
