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

Yes I don't think there should be an exception. I just want my life to be free from Red Scare screenshots

Dunk tank is for horrible people saying horrible things shrug-outta-hecks

Why do we have to cater to the worst people who want to make a living off of negative attention and deliberately twist around in knots to invent new hipster ways of promoting misogyny, racism, imperial elitism, eating disorders, I could go on? If she's a living joke she ought to be played out by now. I'm not concerned with their culture war BS, I'm not taking the Thieloids seriously, and I'm certainly not worried they're going to trigger a doomsday scenario or global fascist counterrevolution or whatever - like the stupidpol guy who unfortunately self-immolated before he could assert a grip on reality - but it's really tiresome to have to hear about this horrible woman for years on end because she makes a concerted effort to insert herself into controversies and she has connections.

Those people are relevant or discussing relevant issues generally. Why do you WANT to post this?

Idk Ive just always been partial to sharing hot takes and dunking on them which Is why I like the dunk tank. Not the first time that desire has gotten me in trouble with people. Like six people have blocked me in barrcord because of it. But I figured the actual literal dunk tank was a safe place to be doing that sort of thing.
