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

@flashgnash@lemm.ee come on in here and defend your bullshit in your precious free marketplace of ideas. Stop addressing the other people that are being more generous than you deserve show your ass.

I've responded to people who are being civil and not making absurd demands like "muh respond now respond now hey pay attention to me or ban!!11!"

I've responded to people who are being civil

May @Civility@hexbear.net have mercy for you, crybully cryptofascist, because you'll get nothing but dunks from the rest of us.

You gave a nonanswer about furries and wouldn't even specify the slur in your probably made up gmod story.

Not specifying the slur because that makes it personal and then people's emotions get involved

I noticed you didn't respond to my comment, and I didn't think I was being too uncivil, not that I really care about civility when it comes to tired muh frozen peaches arguments.

The furry thing is just a weird thing to bring up, who's really hung up on banning furries anymore?

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Might not be the case anymore but they definitely used to be

Sorry if I missed your comment I've taken to just clicking clear all when it looks like all of them aren't worth responding to

Haven't heard this term before, what's a frozen peaches argument?

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Free speech = freeze peach, which I often twist into more ridiculous forms like ”frozen peaches” or ”freedom of peach” for my own amusement.
