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

A lot of people don't seem to understand that "post hog" is a mocking take on "post tits" used by the right to demean and harass women who out themselves in any given community because they used to have the attitude "there are no women on the internet".

Nobody actually wants them to post their dick. Although it would be extremely fucking funny if they did. There's absolutely nothing wrong with punching up in this way and anyone that doesn't understand there is a difference between punching down and punching up can fuck right off.

that was the one hated himself for being gay and the whole sub trip to talk sense into him but only after he posted hog. mods banned him for antisemitism but hopefully this group therapy session did him some good.

I didn't think it had anything to do with what you just said. I remember it being a meme that started on Reddit as a way of calling someone a rightwing person who is making stuff up. Both "post hog" and "hogout or logout".

The founding incident happened when users baited a rightwing user by demanding they post pictures of their penis as evidence in a 'pics or it didn't happen' situation. With the chapo subreddit and so many other left-wing subreddits now removed from Reddit, sadly I can't find the original thread anymore.

Well it did.

If you can't see how "hog out or log out" is intentionally analogous to "tits or gtfo" you've missed a fairly important part of it.

The version I heard was a chud wandered in on the same account they posted to nsfw subs in. People noticed this and and started roasting the guy. His defense was that “it was a bad photo”. He eventually got mad and posted more.

I think Awoo is right in terms of memetic etymology or whatever tracing the origin of a meme is called.

I was there but I don't remember many of the particulars. I think people were saying he must have a tiny dick because of some shitty things he was saying. It was a pretty normal dick for what its worth but he had it clenched in a weird death grip.
