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

The most homophobic person I know in my biological family talks about gay people more than most gay people talk about gay people. He's also obsessed with a few "based" male celebrities to the point where one time I wondered out loud if he had a crush on one of them and he basically made a combination of these two faces while literally screaming with rage: :frothingfash: :wojak-nooo:
Also, he is a giant Gambo fan, brags about watching it while his small children are playing with toys on the carpet because they were supposedly so "mature for their age and can handle it like grown-ass men,", and yet he was livid about this one gay blowjob that apparently happened one time (I assume during Gambo, but he didn't specify and I quit Gambo long ago) and how his kids should never see something like that. :what-the-hell:
Granted not my family... but I would have fun bringing up every time he talks about gay people something like "you seem to think about gayness a lot, have you ever thought about that?"
I have family members with subtly racist/bigoted views that they don't see as such. I am getting less and less motivated to bite my tongue at family gatherings when they say something trashy. One night my dad showed his ass by defending the English Monarchy and Christopher Columbus because the atrocities they did were in the past when they were considered "normal" and you can't criticize them for that. :brainworms: Because you know, morality has only existed for a couple hundred years now.
I remember when a pedo apologist said that one of his ancestors hundreds of years ago married his wife when he was in his 30s and his wife was 14, and that if I called that pedophilia, then I'm calling that ancestor of his a pedophile.
