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

Wtf it's not just a black person thing it's southern lmao
You're like violently wrong
I'm not saying the use of y'all is blackface, I'm making a comparison to show that what the dumbass above said is the exact same kind of obvious bullshit deflection these people use when they're acting in snide bad faith and want you to know it. They always try to sound folksy and relatable to give a tissue-thin veneer of humanity to their horribly inhuman ideas. "Y'all could've had a girlboss who gives the police more robots!" And then when you call them on it it it's all "Oh, why do you hate (X group I'm pretending to speak for this week)?"
I def could have made it clearer that i was making an example and not an accusation, but that would have required more words than the person I responded to is worth. You on the other hand, are chill and worth elaborating to.
oh my bad, i guess i didnt see the quotes at the time
It's also right, in my opinion, to connect it to race. Yes, it is a cross-race cultural thing in the South but Black people popularized it outside of the South.
If a non-Southern White person says y'all, I cringe.
