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

I don't even want to sift through it to find the worst highlights. It's just a mix of treating this as a completely normal question and incels gibbering every possible horrible take they could have.

it's pretty easy to get actual dates with real life people if you don't vastly overvalue your attractiveness, but most incels think they are Kelce and deserve a Swift.

but most incels think they are Kelce

I hate incels, but this is just false. The vast majority of white incels clearly either are accutely aware of being unattractive or are actually dysmorphic or have a similar disorder that warps their self-perception negatively. With non-Latino Incels of Color*, it can get a lot harder to parse their self-image because they are likely to (as a matter of incel "culture") attribute their failings in large part to a racial bias against them. In the same way that a short white incel might identify chiefly as someone fucked over by their height, an Indian or East Asian incel is likely to identify chiefly as someone fucked over by their being Indian or East Asian.

*I have never seen this phrase used, but I would be rightly banned for using the nomenclature that incels usually use for this sort of thing
