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

Ikr, twerking is clearly a dialectic
twerking has as many roots in traditional african dance as it does in the club and is something that arose primarily among black women
its overly sexualization is a result of patriarchy and white supremacy twisting a dance that black woman who are comfortable in their bodies are doing to try and play into the racist and sexist stereotypes of the "aggressively sexual" black woman
this is my understanding of the issue from the black feminist point of view that ive read but maybe everyone disagrees with that i dunno
It's no more sexual than ballet, which is to say quite a bit but there doesn't have to be.
"Someone call the deparment of transportation on this dumptruck👀" Is the caption under that. You aren't technically wrong. None of this had to be sexual and shouldn't be inherently sexual but you are giving Rockstar way to much of a benefit of doubt.
