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

The author literally cites just like 4 TikTok accounts and that’s all her evidence. One person on TikTok said “Gen Alpha is just so weird” and takes that as some truism (which, by the way, we had plenty of skibidi toilet type weird shit that grown ups didn’t understand when I was a kid). It’s like those articles that say “People are getting mad about XYZ”, and the article just says “It appears that a lot of people are upset about XYZ” and then it just gives 5 screen shots from random twitter users with 200 followers as “evidence”.

Lazy journalism at its finest. Didn’t know getting a job with the paper in the second largest market in the US was that easy.
