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

They're 16 years old. It's perfectly natural to be a complete idiot when you're a child. I was a bog-standard libertarian at their age, there's still plenty of time to turn around.

Idk when I was 16 I was the normal sort of stupid 16 yos are, not this hilterlite trash

Yes but also it's in black and white in the Constitution:

I was a bazinga futurologist liberal at a young age. I'd be pleased to go back in time and dunk my previous self. cyber-lenin

it says their location is "16 | Milan"

I dont think that's an age? unless people are putting their age next to their location and im just unaware.

A/S/L is such an ingrained thing to the internet I don't get how you think 16 is anything except age here.

A/S/L is such an ingrained thing to the internet

sure, maybe 20 years ago in an AIM chat room. Twitter lets you show a birth year so, unlike an AIM chat room, twitter has a mechanism to show age. that's why it made no sense or wouldn't stick out. should be age/pronoun/location in the bio, then it would still fit the format.
