Comm request: the_dunk_court (hexbear.net)

Per @[email protected]'s suggestion in the thread announcing the closure of the tank comms I am suggesting a replacement comm

The concept of the comm is that it would be exactly the same as the_dunk_tank but without the unfortunate racist connotations of the name. Also, the name actually describes the content that is intended for it. Not sure why we made it any more complicated than that in the first place. Also, you can post things like articles from The Atlantic, which are also notable, and not just stuff about famous people.

Also, we should just go ahead and unlock Dredge_Tank

the_hog_roast - where reactionaries go to get cooked

or just any kind of riffing off of roast, since it's already used to mean the same thing as dunking but without the history

I feel like we're gonna rename that at some point again. Can't have hog roast anymore. Because of ~~woke~~ vegans

::: spoiler we love our vegan comrades!

May as well cancel the revolution then because it'll hurt a lot of hogs.

Hexbear isn't the revolution, so I don't really understand your argument, it's giving me "iphone yet commie" vibes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ok I didn't realise you were actually serious about the vegan thing.

I disagree. And think if that's the case then calling anyone a hog is problematic in the first place if we wish harm on the hogs.

If we don't think that's problematic, then roasting hogs as a metaphor for writing mean comments is fine.

I see what you mean, yeah that makes sense. Thanks for walking me thru it
