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

I can't avoid thinking of that video of British royal guard soldiers who trampled a small child that did the rounds on the internet a couple of years ago. Back then lots of people thought that the soldiers were right in doing so as the kid was standing where they were supposed to march, stopping or taking a step to the side would be against their orders so it was really the child's and their parents' fault.

But when a Chinese guy who was part of a violent riot against the government walked out in front of a column of tanks and wasn't hurt at all then it is the crime of the century.
