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

Never read a Stephen King book but I watched both It movies and they sucked. Stupid ass title that makes it impossible to talk about, the first movie sucked ass, just threw a bunch of characters at you and systematically dumped their backstory at you one by one. The characters didn't have personality beyond "main character", "fat" and "girl". The second movie opened well by immediately killing of the ginger and then there's just two hours of these guys fucking around, then they call the clown a clown and he dies.

What the fuck is the point of It? That fear can be conquered by laughter? Wow, well fucking done, Stephen King, unfortunately every children's media has already covered this. Is it that gay people only exist to die tragically? That 12 year olds having an orgy is fine actually? I watched these movies when I was a teenager and I thought they were stupid and I'm not going to watch them again
