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

What we're trying to do -- or at least should be trying to do -- is to get people to think about why "cracker" lacks the invective of the n-word, and how racism runs much deeper than merely an insult based on skin color. But as you describe, we're just mirroring racist insults, trying to offend people with them, then saying "how can you possibly be offended by this."
We'll talk all day about how you can't make a book or movie with subtext because no one will get it, then we'll do this convoluted stuff instead of just explaining our views on how racism works.
