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

Imagine hating dogs enough to post on "r/dogfree".

Imagine caring about the oscars having a dog in it.

Imagine your vision of a tragic future being "they will have a 'best dog' award at the oscars"

dogs: exist

some grown ass adult: dennis "HELP! HELP! I'M BEING REPRESSED!"

Dog allergies are common enough that dogs shouldn't be brought indoors in public without good reason.

Imagine choosing the username "PissedCaucasian"

You have to admit though, that it's a very accurate username. Caring about that type of shit is equally as white as the people who kiss their dog on the libs.

Yeah lol, very fitting. Maybe it's a bit account?

Imagine hating dogs enough to post on "r/dogfree".

Over 4.5 million people in the US alone are bitten by dogs every year. Dogs are fast, strong, vicious animals which can and do maul people. All the time. Why pretend not to understand why some people fear or hate them?

Having empathy for victims of violence is being a "nerd?"

Straight up, fuck you. Terminally online irony-poisoned redditlord.

It's one thing to be afraid of dogs, and it's another to be a fucking jackass hating all dogs unconditionally to a cartoonish point.

So yeah, fuck you :nerd:

My next door neighbor has one of those giant neglected murder beasts that sits in the back yard all day and barks non-stop. Every day I leave for work, I have to listen to it barking at me and scrabbling at the fence and wonder, "Is today the day that it jumps the fence and literally eats my face?" (cw: the pictures are not particularly pleasant)

I then get to work, and my coworker, unprompted, for the fifteenth time, tells me that I should adopt a dog and how great dogs are. And I tell him, again, that there is no chance of that happening whatsoever.

Then I log onto the internet on my phone and see, "Biggest red flag? When someone doesn't like dogs. I mean what kind of freak would you have to be not to like heckin puppers? They're so wholesome! Better than people!"

It is no wonder that there are places where people vent about not liking dogs.

Did I say "imagine being scared of dogs"? No, I said "Imagine hating dogs and dog owners so much that you post on a toxic subreddit entirely dedicated to that hate"

It's like someone said "r/incel" is a toxic community and you went and said "Well actually loneliness and depression among young males is a serious problem, why are you making fun of them?"
