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

that is not a name you give a person it is what you name a boss in a final fantasy game

Very much agree. It's cruel to give kids these over the top weird names, it invites harassment.

Absolutely. There are certain types of names that should honestly just be illegal, and are in some countries. For me, as the level of weirdness goes up, it actually becomes ok and then not OK again, a couple times

From least to most unconventional:

Common names ✅
Uncommon names ✅
War criminal names ❌
Misspelled common names like "Gianathunn" ✅ fine but why, why??
Profanity or any kind of plain-language degrading like "fuckass" or "dumpsterwater"❌
Common names where you arbitrarily assign letters and claim they represent different sounds "Oh it's pronounced Johnathan, spelled like 'Pppppppp'❌
Common words that don't even sound like a name, like naming your kid fuckin "Best One or "And The" or some shit, so every time someone says their name everyone else thinks they had a stroke❌
Completely unique invented names that don't sound like any word ✅ Just typin out random letters like "Bandalagika" or "Diunchip" doesn't bother me at all because you assume it has to be a name
Literally unpronounceable names ❌ Fuck you

That's all fine, but you should make an exception and allow Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--. How else will we teach devs to sanitise their inputs?
