Comm request: the_dunk_court (hexbear.net)

Per @[email protected]'s suggestion in the thread announcing the closure of the tank comms I am suggesting a replacement comm

The concept of the comm is that it would be exactly the same as the_dunk_tank but without the unfortunate racist connotations of the name. Also, the name actually describes the content that is intended for it. Not sure why we made it any more complicated than that in the first place. Also, you can post things like articles from The Atlantic, which are also notable, and not just stuff about famous people.

Also, we should just go ahead and unlock Dredge_Tank

How about intead of Dunk we use Slam? In baseball they have the same meaning and we get a little farther away from the racist meaning

But no one says "Get slammed on son" or "You got fucking slammed on!", if we're going with Slam it has to be Space Jam themed.

I said this in the other thread, but I'm in favor of point_and_laugh. Just a straightforward description of what the com is and what it's for.

we should call it pal, and have discussions about 50 hz transmission superiority

Insert Shaq clip of "Damn son! You just got baptized!"

What about the Shit Court then. Because "get shit on" works and people will be posting shit.

there we go, this is the one. Probably. I love it anyway

Septic tank (shortened to seppo) is also Aussie slang for an American, so it works on that level too

Lmao somehow I thought it was short for Joseph.

Synthesis: Dunkleosteus Tank and all shitposting has to be about the ocean.

I agree, dunk should probably be removed entirely. Kinda like the_slam_zone tbh sicko-pog

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm not married to the name or anything

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago
