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
Remember, it’s the queer people who are cringe.
Website won’t let me upload the second screenshot, I will put it in a comment if I can.
Everyone has periods when they feel alienated and utterly alone, scorned by the world etc. Etc.
When I was a teenager the answer seemed to be to goth up, smoke very bad hash in the graveyard and drink snakebites.
Actually thinking about it, a lot of the goths at my school were girls so I dunno where the fuck the idea its only men who can feel like this comes from.
Women generally have more emotionally engaged friendships and support networks because stoicism isn't encouraged as much.
It's also that generally neither men nor women are taught to care about the mental health or social connection of men. Men generally can't get emotional support from women, either. Women won't extend that kind of intimacy and often actively derride the need for it. To get that kind of emotional support and intimacy as a men you almost have to find some kind of counter-culture group where people have put the work in to untangle their role in patriarchy and the expectations placed on them by patriarchy.
Speaking from personal experience. I'm drowning in isolation and lonliness but I can't seem to communicate that to any of my friends. No one ever asks how I'm feeling even though all my social media posts and communications for the last few years have been screaming in pain. It sucks.
