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 refuse to believe this is sincere

[–] [email protected] 47 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I want to believe it's a bit mocking the childfree subreddit

But also it's reddit-logo so...

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 months ago

nobody's relatives spend decades badgering them about when you're going to get a dog

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We must liberate ourselves from the chains of children.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago

The little kinder-cuffs are dragging me down as I type this.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I checked the subreddit, it's completely unironic comedy gold.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 months ago

Only reddit-logo could make a subreddit like r/IHateSunshineAndRainbowsAndPuppiesAndIceCreamAndNiceThings and somehow fill it with people who actually feel that way. It's that kind of phenomenon that makes me unironically think they make Redditors in an underground lab somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

I'm betting it started off as a joke sub and then a bunch of misocynics showed up for real

[–] [email protected] 54 points 6 months ago (12 children)

Why the fuck is there a subreddit called /r/dogfree? Dogs are rad doggo-matapacos

[–] [email protected] 53 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Some people make hating something other people like their entire personality. These people are called "redditors"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

tagline material tbh.

What if you took all the ridiculous behavior of anti-natalists and made them anti-pet?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Is this not the joke that the subreddit is making?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's not ironic

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, this feels like a sarcasm sub in reaction to r/childfree

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

That sub is completely sincere. I'm sure it started as a joke sub, but it aint anymore

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 months ago (1 children)

PissedCaucasian just feels threatened by celebrity dogs for the affection of white women

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

I gotta say, this image from that sub is hilarious, tho:

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago

Imagine being all "WE'RE LOSING THE CULTURE WAR" but it's about the domestication of the dog.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago (13 children)

The post is silly, but western dog culture is still misanthropic, gross, and hypocritical. I will never trust people who say they like animals more than people (weird how they usually eat meat…). They remind me of that lady who demanded the removal of homeless people at a public park because they scared her dog. Also, Reddit doggo language is like nails on a chalk board.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

i don't think that's actually that common or really much of an issue at all. homeless people also have and love their dogs.

Please, Hollywood is too sophisticated for that. Clearly there will be separate “Bestest Boy” and “Bestest Girl” awards.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (2 children)

They photoshopped clapping paws

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago (1 children)

no they have a guy laying under the seat move two prop paws so it looks like the dog is clapping.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Absolutely hilarious, he looks like he's having a blast honestly.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

Shittily made, shittily animated paw puppets are a top tier bit no matter the context

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I was staring at it an hour ago before figuring out what it was supposed to be

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago

I thought for a moment that they folded that poor dog in half to fit it in the seat

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I want to be a trainer to a celebrity dog and get to live the high life while smooching my best bud.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Training animals for film seems pretty difficult lol

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"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

dogs: exist

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago
