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

I don't get why anyone would seriously use them. I am chronically single, no matter what I do. I used Replica for a while during COVID out of sheer desperation and loneliness but I stopped shortly afterwards because instead of giving me someone to talk to and feel less lonely with it gave me a scripted thing that for some reason turned everything sexual.

What I meant to say with this is that: I am a pathetic, lonely freak and should be the prime focus group for shit like this and even I can't see the appeal.

I think you've answered your own question with the "turned everything sexual" bit. The kinds of guys who use an AI girlfriend do so because they don't want a relationship with a human being, they want a fleshlight that tells them how great they are at sex.
