People always say to me, they always say: 'Ms. TomboyShulk, aren't you a little harsh with these pre-emptive purges?' Folks, as you can–and you can see it quite clearly–quite clearly see with this rambunctious little imp, I'm just as harsh as I need to be; could stand to be a bit harsher, frankly.
the_dunk_tank
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.
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'm the specter haunting the lemmyverse and frankly I'm getting tired of haunting this shit I want to go haunt something cool like a bank or Europe.
The objectively correct emoji for this situation
Wish i lived as rent free as hexbear
Thanks for all the free advertising.
It’s an affectionate nickname for Hexbear. You might know that they behave like a bunch of 4channers
Ah yes. Hexbear, which automatically filters slurs, is just the same as 4chan, where the n-word is about as common as the word "the"
All that matters is @[email protected] and if you lack that you're equally as bad as the nazis! Now let me civilly concern troll you about your mental health status. Who hurt you?
Hexbear users use insults. You know who else insulted people? Hitler.
Civilized adults in the room who make the hard decisions and get shit done don't insult people they disagree with. They just imply that those people are unwell in a way that may be construed as mental illness then mock them for that perceived weakness.
pretending to not understand
Socrates, famously a real toxic asshole who spent most of his time pretending to not understand
This is such a terminally-online debatebro tactic too, making this accusation.
People like Jordan Peterson and his fans will refuse make clear statements because they rely upon vague allusions (and dogwhistles, of course) so they can play at motte-and-bailey tactics; if you respond to their poor attempt at making a point they'll object because it wasn't "what they meant" but the moment you ask them to be more explicit about their statements they'll treat you like you are being a troll and that you're sealioning them.

Yesterday, I saw that with the "all governments do atrocities, actually" debate douche who refused to clarify, up or down, what that statement is supposed to imply except liberal nodding toward its vague wisdom.
Which, again, is why you should appeal to the stick early and often.
it sure is appealing, isn't it?
Feigning to not understand, or distorting a point is something that Hexbear users love to do.
Asking me to explain my beliefs? Must be an evil tankie from website I don't like.
An Hexbear 🧐
Ayy [email protected]. I know you're reading this because you are obsessed with Hexbear.
When you post this to meanwhileongrad with some caption about how big meanies we are, can you get this comment in the screenshot?
