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.

completely nuking like a dozen trans women's accounts after tumblr user predstrogen got banned so hard every single image she ever posted got deleted (which isn't how tumblr bans work), and claiming the og ban was because of threats towards him. the one threat he could point to was this

he said tumblr would work with the fbi to investigate this shit

link to his statement. he originally misgendered her, then corrected himself to degender her, then finally used corrected himself to use her actual pronouns

instead of doing something to prevent harassment of trans people, he actively contributes to harassment

he is responsible for the deaths of trans people, getting people murdered in the streets

he has cissues cissues about a couple people making mean comments online? he thinks a couple venting comments are bad and should be punished, but won’t do anything about the deluge of the same directed at trans people on his fucking platform? let’s print out all the comments on rice paper and and drop them on the trans people, and similarly print out every harassing comment, dm, post from tumblr users and drop them on the CEO so he gets paper cuts and bleeds out while being crushed under the weight gayroller-2000

careful he's going to call the fbi for this very real and actionable death threat
