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

Understandable! I'm really not justifying whatever is up with the JoJo post and didn't follow what happened with Twink, I've just seen what happens when horny stuff isn't quashed and it's very, very bad. I wouldn't call it puritanical because it's not that sex or horniness is itself wrong or should have any shame, just that socialist spaces benefit from a detachment from horny posting, sexualizing each other, acting as a dating pool, etc.
Having a culture against that means you can head off the development of things that push the real boundaries. It's not that a random bonk necessarily prevented an immediate case of harassment, but that is hard for things to go farther. Folks won't innocently think, "oh yes this is a good forum for complimenting that person's ass maybe they'll send me some pics of I ask" because there is no culture anywhere near that here. Not that I'd be surprised if that still happens, it just wouldn't happen accidentally.
