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

Is he funny when talking about South Africa or does he just suck ass generally

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That depends on whether or not you side with striking miners

he had some funny bits but they were mostly stories about life in south africa apartheid and what it's like to experience south african racism vs US racism. but i dont think he was ever great.

Pretty funny because he actually understands what he's talking about. A lot of his South African specials have aged really poorly in hindsight though, especially when he went through his edgy phase in the early 2010s. Most infamous clip from that was when he made fun of striking miners. Lots of sexist and antisemitic jokes about Jewish women as well, but the latter was limited to text based social media like Twitter and never made an appearance on his comedy specials, as far as I remember.
