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

AI generated art fucks me up, because something like this can occur on a whim. 10 years ago if i saw this, i would be like, "wow, what drove a talented artist to go through all the trouble to render this detailed vision?"

It can at least be created on a whim now. There was still process involved between a group of people and working with the tool itself. It probably doesn't look anything like the process involved in what you're describing though, more like an ongoing conversation amongst allies critiquing implementations of censorship for corporate interests. Lol, for example, the first rendering involved the bear holding a bowl of chocolate pudding too. The only way it would render the image without the bear also holding a bowl of pudding was if it was a magic bear hovering over it's own bowl. xD So potentially less of a profound process than I imagine digital artists 10 years ago were using... but idk. ¯\(ツ)

Lol, just fighting the censorship. Apparently, things pooping is too vulgar, but magically floating above a bowl of chocolate pudding isn't. :D The bear was just what the group I was talking to was using as a subject and wasn't meant as a reference to anything. I think it was along the lines of trying to get it to generate "a bear shitting in the woods"
