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 full video is so unbelievably cringe.

Truly living up to the title of Reddit Island.

Why is there a random don’t drink and drive message at the bottom panel?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They promote Australian "Freedom Wine" and Taiwan "Freedom Beer" in the rest of the video. I'm guessing they have a media policy that any (government?) depiction of alcohol in a positive context must have the messages.

china bad let's go freedom wine woo

Because they can't even drink without somehow making it lame and whiny.

I support this but only if the US VP debate is done in Chinese.

A bunch of hexadecimal, apparently. Feels like we’re playing bingo.

The average Taiwanese isn't this annoying. What you're seeing are the type of people that post on r/Taiwan and Mandarin Subreddits bitching about Mainland China 24/7. I've met a few of these types and they can easily be described as your average Taiwanese Redditor or the equivalent of that lib you know who hangs Ukrainian flags outside their house.

Neither the average Taiwanese or the average Hong Konger are nearly this cringe. Westoid spaces and media just amplify the cringe ones.

I used to go on Reddit to see the insane shit people from my country would say. They would obsess over Ukraine and call Lula leftist scum. Something I haven't really seen people do in person.

[–] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

online spaces are generally very poor representations of IRL groups, probably because the average person is a lurker

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

The problem with the average person being a lurker is that they also agree with many of these cringe libs, they just nod along as they scroll reddit-logo

I kinda want to bully this guy in person.
