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 don't understand where this narrative that Gen Z is sexless comes from. I'm not Gen Z, but like... a song about "wet ass pussy" came out at a time when no one could really go to clubs and it was still a huge hit. The video was so sexual that Ben Shapiro described his wife's pussy as bone dry to discredit the video's legitimacy. People still like tits. People still like ass. People still like dong.
gen z's not sexless, i think the rate of virginity in young people is just significantly higher than the past. like there's a study from 2015 saying "40% of college students are virgins" and it's gotta be even higher now
i think it's mostly young people being shy, alienated, and/or averse to hookup culture and the commodification of sex. like i'm a sophomore and got it with someone i really liked, but rn am giving dating a break until i have the schedule and mental availability for it. fucking someone at a party or from the swipe of an app just seems kind of depressing.
from my experience gen z is simultaneously pretty sex positive and virginity positive. people don't really slut shame, and you're not an outcast for not getting laid (was it embarrassing to be a 20 year old virgin in like the 90s/00s?). WAP is just a good example of us not being prudish tbh, people saw it as fun or funny and it was a tiktok dance trend
Boomers:
"Women who sleep around and wear crop tops and short shorts are wh*res with no self-respect, your body is a temple"
"Young people today are sexless losers who spend all day their phone, when I was in high school half my class got drunk and gave each other chlamydia"
