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

I mean I am also completely incapable of dating but I would actually like to have children. Still doubt it will ever happen but I just don't get the hate Redditors have towards children. Like sure children aren't for everyone and you shouldn't have children if you you'd hate them but why do Redditors feel the need to pretend that having children is objectively wrong?

It's not an individual effect, so much as it is the accumulation of many like individuals creating a self-reinforcing environment. It's like how you can have someone start a forum about, I dunno, sidewalk licking, and pretty soon everyone who joins that goes from "I have this super weird and embarrassing habit" to "stupid NL's (no-licks) are always trying to shove it in my face"
