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 [email protected]
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

This was literally a thing that already happened decades ago. And also a 1980s comedy starring C Thomas Howell
I wanted to say Black Like Me was actually important becaue it was written at a time when white people would actually take a white man's account of how racism effects black people seriously, but, like, that part hasn't changed for a lot of the us.
Still, interesting experiment. Interesting to contrast with anthropology practices i guy was honest about who he was and what he was doing if anyone asked, but the goal was still ultimately to deceive. Anthropologists doing participant observation, basically hanging out with people and talking about their lives to try to get some insight on how they experience the world, have to be up front and honest about who they are and what they're doing. Idk if black like me influenced the development of ethical standards in anthro. It was a pretty harmless, well intentioned experiment. But it is a contrast to modern anthro practices. Similar kind of exploration, but different ethos.
