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

I will defend the volcel vanguard with my dying breath. It's nice to have a space online where things don't have to instantly be terminally horny.

There is a puritanical strain of leftism though which can be pretty cringe.

I don't get this volcel business. Is there like a level of irony to it I'm somehow not online enough to get

[–] [email protected] 41 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It's to keep the space normal and non-horny so people (especially women, trans comrades, etc) don't feel weirded out and have sex pests in their DMs constantly. It evolved into a running gag, because that's the most effective way to make sure people actually stick to it in terminally online spaces.

It also neatly avoids the many problems that crop up when you want to have horny comms (cumms)

But the idea that non-horny is normal is, itself, a relic of puritanism. Keeping out sex pests is one thing, but it also keeps out good posts like @[email protected] 's posts of cute anime girls and boys which keep getting removed.

JUSTICE FOR MY KARS POST!!!!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Uhm mods, Kars is the ultimate lifeform meaning he can't die and therefore has no biological need to reproduce and thus has no sex or gender, therefore any image of Kars cannot violate any rules regarding pornography nerd

It’s less the vibes and more the Vibes

“sex is bad and weird” emits a lot weirder vibes than “don’t be a creep to unconsenting people on a forum where minors could be present”

I guess I've always seen it as "don't horny post"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Me too, I think I have a slightly different perspective from seeing people unironically identify as Volcel on Reddit though
