the_dunk_tank
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

Like, as a fat guy I never took it to be like "Look at these gross uggos, their corpulence makes me gag"
It always seemed to me to be about the fact that these guys have deluded themselves into thinking they're "Tier One Operators" and couldn't take over a damn bowl of Jell-O
As a fellow fat guy, I feel the same way as far as how I personally take it.
In terms of policy though, I think that if a fat joke directed at reactionaries could hurt even one comrade who struggles with body image, it should be removed. Personally, I remove any body-shaming comments I see no matter who they're directed at.
