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

simply stop being socially alienated

You know I'd never quite thought of it like that before

the problem is that this doesn't actually solve the problem, though. you're just as socially alienated afterwards. and the people this targets are already prone to objectifying women - the relationship progression system is fucked up.

I don't disagree, but I think the appropriate response is empathy and an attempt at understanding rather than saying "LOL touch grass idiot, stop being affected by societal ills" like the user I responded to

You’re gonna tell me there’s no difference between being socially alienated and preferring to spend time with an AI? What is this fucking blade runner?
