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 only reason I know about Shakesville is because Twitter main character Ana Mardoll wrote for them, apparently

The main writer was one of my favorite Chapo characters. It was like a CHUD parody of what a feminist is came to life, and decided to ride or die for Hillary.

Probably my "favorite" Shakesville moment was when the blog's founder

CW: Transphobiaposted glowing praise of a TERF, got criticized for it in the post's comments, and responded by haranguing those critics for daring to question her good nature. cissues

Remember when Melissa claimed Bernie (and therefore his followers) was racist because he said "working class people and people of color". This according to her was because he believed they were mutually exclusive.

That was "15 minute cities means you're not allowed to leave your designated area" levels of maliciously misinterpreting someone's words
