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

Volcel Police was born out of the disastrous chaser threads of 2019

I remember a woman showing off her guillotine tattoo on the subreddit and she got bombarded by creepy sexual comments. From that day on I have uncritical support for the @[email protected]

No it's about creating an atmosphere where FLINTA* posters feel welcome without being sexualized by coomers all the time

I always believed its genesis was in the whole “all politics is sexual pathology” meme when we’d make fun of all the people somehow using sexual relationships to explain politics (or otherwise just being horny over politicians). Like the “Bernie sanders is my abusive boyfriend” girl and all the horny right-wing fan art of hot trump, or the obsession with aoc’s feet among people that otherwise hated her. Or whatever this is.
