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

Evopsych has always been sus to me, not least because the most famous evopsych adjacent person in my country is also a big SeXuAl MaRkEtPlAcE guy.

The evopsych professor back in 2011 in Cal State Long Beach back when I was in undergrad was an outright white supremacist who the school refused to remove despite multiple racial incidents

My favorite psych professor who despite my low grades was super supportive about of me throughout undergrad, told me that all Evopsych is racist and garbage and to ignore it.

evopsych is obvious horsehit from the word go because humans are the least instinctual animals around. If our behavior was defined so thoroughly through genetics, our languages would all act similarly most likely. They obviously don't do that so more complex, though driven pursuits like gaining a surplus of wealth or wheat obviously can't be operating this way. it also assumes evolution is trying to make ou perfect for you environment, rather than just being a system that does whatever the fuck doesn't get you killed before reproducing. All these sex-based modifications of behavior only work if the women are primed to accept these kinds of displays, so there's no reason westoids wouldn't also do it because this implies all women naturally are. Ironically, this would suggest black men make more sexually desirable partners in this nutjob's worldview, so he's either got an inferiority complex he's covering up by being the"übermensch" who acts like an ant, or he's a cuck.
