It’s genuinely bizarre how much the pig poo pic riles these people up, honesty I always thought it was one of our novice level memes, but these dipshits are actually pressed over it lmao wtf

Oh yeah you really have to see it deployed in action to appreciate it. On it’s own it doesn’t look like much but when you see how angry it makes people to see their bad faith nonsense shut down in such a dismissive way you appreciate the beauty.

We first told chuds to post hog, and then we started posting the hog ourselves

At first they came for the hog posts, but I did not post because I had no hog…

Tbf it gets annoying when it’s the full size image being spammed 20 times in a row. In my app, it remains full size so it takes some scrolling to get past the Poopballs.

Apparently thats a bug due to how Hexbear’s emojis were translated over to the main Lemmy. I think our version scales them down to emoji size but the other Lemmy’s display them at full resolution, something like that. Apparently the smart people who know things are trying to get a fix pushed soon.

It’s a kind of vulgarity they probably don’t encounter anywhere else. Usually internet vulgarity involves screaming slurs of some kind.

Whereas PPB dismisses their argument, or lack thereof, without shitting on anyone but it’s own balls. It doesn’t compare them to a marginalize group, it doesn’t accuse them of being shills, it doesn’t say they’re a bot, it doesn’t accuse them of being any of the stuff the GOP constantly scream.

It’s extremely vulgar, but how should you respond to it? there’s no script for it. It’s not harmful. It’s just vulgar in a way that transgresses lib civility norms. So what do they do about it? Well, the complain, because it’s new and upsetting and they don’t have a ready made response or dismissal.

Then they get 5 replies, answering all of them with some Russiagate rant, then their inbox blows up with 50 replies, which they reliably increase to 500 replies by answering every single one of them with a passive-aggressive post about how we’re all mentally ill wumaos from a potato wodka country because we have pronouns other than he/him

No, it’s important that we also have dudes so they can think we’re Sino-Russian neckbeards setting the pronoun setting to shuffle.

A lot of mammals have absurdly large balls. Like go look at a boy rat sometimes. Dude’s often dragging.

If it makes you feel better, this was a pig being shown at a state fair, and breeding male pigs apparently just have big ol balls. Still not great from a vegan perspective, I know.

Create post

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
