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

Freezing cold take but the amount of times vampires are literal slaveowners or confederate soldiers is disquieting.

Good point. It's often glamorized, too. Like "oh these blood thralls experience so much pleasure from being walking juice boxes that they don't mind and/or they don't even have meaningful consciousness anyway, teehee."

Okay but what if that's your kink though thonk sincerely and not a bit-ly. Like, y'know?

To me there is a world of difference between "ooh getting bit by this vampire and becoming a thrall to them would be hot" and "THIS FINE MAN LOUIS, HE OWNED A PLANTATION, HE'S A VALIANT MAN" type shit, I guess.

There's such a thing as problematic favorites, and yes, I can definitely imagine (though not share) the fictionalized fantasy of being the thrall of some "nice" slaver (or not so nice, some people really got a thing for being hurt in their fantasies).
