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

Yeah so the article is about how the villain Davros (creator of the Daleks) will no longer be depicted as in a wheelchair and that's due to baggage from earlier in the show. The writers don't want it to seem like Davros is resentful of his disability and created evil space squid Nazis in revenge, since that could possibly send the wrong messages about disability. I get it. Don't really know how they'll manage this. Also Davros has died like 5 times already but keeps showing back up.

One other show fan posted: 'My granddad was a disabled WWII vet, very self-sufficient despite being in a wheelchair & was also an activist for disability access; he wouldn’t have had a problem w/Davros since he’s a strong character who succeeded & overcame obstacles despite his disability!'

I think this person is joking, or I hope so. Davros succeeded in creating evil genocidal cyborg goop monsters because he's space Hitler

Davros wasn't really even successful, in Genesis of the Daleks the Daleks turn on him, and they continue to do that almost every time Davros appears.
