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

Sometimes I like to look up the origin of the taglines. So I looked one up and found this old thread...

https://hexbear.net/post/1640059

I don't know this for sure, but I'm almost certain all of the other accts in this thread were eventually banned for being alts of DayOfDoom (HaruhiSuzumiya got herself banned during that thread about DayOfDoom's banning by being sus about it, the other got banned around the same time for unspecified ban evasion)

Literally arguing with themselves, completely artificial thread, and managed to get into a tagline

My honest reaction to this information:

The tagline from this thread is:

Apart from further Luna Rossa flankers, would also recommend (re) testing more of the Prada Infusions for a less gourmand, sweet and/or woody, also fresher, crisper and more transparent take on somewhat similar notes, as well as the many AMen flankers, perhaps especially Pure Wood and Pure Tonka, while not entirely dismissing the other flankers and maybe also Kenzo Homme Boisee to certain extents

taglines dont need to be funny (I think) just weird is enough imho.

Its not weirdness or funniness per-se. Its the quality that makes you say "GOOD post", nod, and then tab over to a different post to construct an emoji diorama about it.

does this mean I should be honored about mine instead of horrified

I feel like both is appropriate. Mine's about rapunzels's dick, so yeah.
