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

older reddit post [CW: some ableism in the comments] but its hilarious how thoroughly OP was bullied. They also claimed to be a teacher who "works with mental health professionals" so they couldn't possibly be out-of-touch :hasan-ok-dude:

i have 100% have had customers like this. my moms southern , I dont have the accent but i regularly call strangers hun like "how ya doin hun?". I look like a woman and we are in the south so most people of find it charming . Once some rich white women tourist called me a creep and made such a big deal about it i cried on my break. I stopped saying it for a while but i refused to let one person make me a colder less welcoming person.

:meow-hug: How fucking alienated and antisocial as a people have we become? That's wild. Don't let them stop you from being kind.
