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

The Twitter display name is "The Gay Republican ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ". The Twitter @ handle is @GayRepublicanSwag. All you post about is being a fucking gay republican (which includes shitting on drag queens and trans people by the way).

The fact that they can't just be a rare and elusive "gay person who happens to be a republican but keeps their mouth shut about it and doesn't feel the need to hint at it every 5 seconds" speaks volumes to me.

No grifting, marginalized conservatives are like that quoted hypothetical, though, so I don't know why I expected better than the usual.

Every gay conservative makes it their only personality trait.

"finally decided to let this cutie i'm talking to know i don't think he deserves human rights!"

i guess today is the day i wish for a fellow gay to die alone, unloved, and as soon as possible

doesn't feel great but here we are

This is the same kind of person who accuses progressive queer people of making queerness their only personality trait.

Reminds me of how Blaire White accuses every trans person not exactly like her of being an attention seeker when her entire schtick is trying to ostentatiously demonstrate how she's "one of the exceptionally good trans people" to a point where it's all she's known for.

they need attention soooooo bad lmao. like there already is a party for queer reactionaries, but no one thinks you're special for being a cis gay Democrat.

Without the full text it almost looks like "coming out as gay to my boyfriend" which would admittedly be a good bit.
