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

Of all the memes done to death by boring manchildren like this, I think only Pepe has gone through a longer and worse dragging through the chud mud. Feels bad, man. kermit-pain

I don't think the right realizes that this kind of self-conscious, attention-baiting, tryhard stuff gets them easily clocked as losers. They remind me of the uncool guys in middle school who always had their hands in their pockets because they were too afraid of moving them wrong, and would call any expression of unbridled enthusiasm "gay" because they resented not feeling like they had the social permission for similar expression.

Musk always reminds me of a guy I went to high school with that was something like a glorified ballboy for the basketball team, but acted like he was ACTUALLY a player
