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

Okay cmon no way did anybody say this to you, right?
...please let it be fake...
One of the beta readers that agreed to read a very early draft of the first novel of my trilogy requested exactly that.
He was in his 60s. He had an adult daughter nearly my own age at the time that had children of her own. He called the naked body description "an inevitability in the genre." He left a punitive middling review, unasked for (I didn't ask him to review the final work), probably because I stood firm and didn't describe a malnourished teenage refugee girl's naked body.
