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've said it before but I'll say it again. I've come to hate the word nuance because of posts like this. They act like just because they have "nuance" their take is automatically more based than anyone who, for example, thinks genocide is bad.

99% of the time in the imperial core nuanced just means "yeah it seems obviously bad but I know if I develop an actual opinion about it I will have to change my behavior"

I kinda know is bad, but its also benefits me, so I'm just going to pretend is a complex topic where nobody's really right.

"Nuance" is the new "I'm not a racist but..."

I involuntarily twitch on hearing the word nuance
