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 people who defend twitch streamers generally.

He's just some guy in his basement who is on video for hours putting out poorly researched takes that I could come up with if I were lazy (considering that I heard one of his research streams was reading wikipedia).

PhilosophyTube clearly reads books so I respect her. Vaush doesn't come across as a guy who ever read a book, and I don't read enough books, so why the fuck would I listen to him.

Idk maybe I mellowed out more since I can't even be mad at these online people, just confused at their existence. Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson used to sincerely piss me off but now I just ignore it because there's no point since I don't know anyone who takes him seriously (although I used to know JBP fans)

He's read at least one book, lolita

Lolita is pretty plainly anti-pedo. More than likely, he just got a version of the book with an abominable, sexualized cover and just leaves it on his shelf.

Failures of reading comprehension are everywhere, and "le curtains were fucking le blue" takes are also everywhere. No surprise to me that many see Lolita and blue curtain it to fit their own ideology. :kombucha-disgust:

Not if you are stupid enough. It's a book where the narrator definitely tells you what he is doing is normal and good, you have to realize he is lying. If you don't think critically at all, you will just believe him. Vaush and his fans show a lack of critical thinking, so I wouldn't doubt this very easy to pick up on untrustworthy narration would soar over his head like an eagle

:so-true: "The curtains are blue!!!"
