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

Why do these 4chan diaspora types always talk like this? Ceaselessly prattling on about this supposed great spiritual strife that ( western) men go through? They all use this highly dramatic and flowery prose that I guess its supposed to sound inspirational but they always end up sounding like a villain from a fucking Marvel movie. It's so corny!

This guy used an awful lot of words just to say "I and everyone else on this trash board are incapable of acting like normal human beings, so I have to retreat to my safe space so I can make fun of trans people on an anonymous forum."

This is why Ignatius J. Reilly is the perfect embodiment of :reddit-logo: and Chan-types, just the most solipsistic, arrogant, alienated people on this planet, getting completely psychically destroyed over toys and treats changing slightly, violently hating anyone that don't want to play along with their nihilistic delusions of grandeur. Gifted children that thought that meant they wouldn't have to grow at all.

If Confederacy of Dunces was written decades later, Ignatius J. Reilly would go on and on about szechuan sauce. :pickle-liz:

absolutely. "Well, you see, it's about ethics in game journalism, not that I would expect you dimwitted cretins to understand that"

"Between notes, he had contemplated means of destroying Myrna Minkoff. His most promising scheme had involved getting a book on munitions from the library, constructing a bomb, and mailing it in plain paper to Myrna. Then he remembered that his library card had been revoked.”

It's also very common to talk that way in capital-R "Rationalist" circles. It's been called "Dying Wizard" format.
