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

Am I just not in the know, or is that a UK thing and not an American thing? The first time I ever heard of it being a slur was in relation to UK politics a few years ago. And I grew up in Boston.
It's more of a south asian thing, of which some live in the UK. It's mostly an in-group thing too, it's their version of "uncle Tom".
It is not really a widely stigmatized slur because to swathes of the Indian-American community being called white is the opposite of offensive
I'm white and I've heard it. Basically when "oreo" got invented so did "twinkie" and "coconut". That being said, I think this is 100% concern trolling.
Not that anyone needs to be stanning Kamala.
Huh, good thing we shorten the Gay term to "twink" or that could cause some international faux pas.
Damn, the glorious explosion of Twinkie cream directly down my throat will never be the same after reading this
I've heard "banana" in a similar context here in Australia because I guess Twinkies aren't common.
