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'm afraid quoting it will hit slur filters but the open sentence is just so brainworms

Yesterday I saw the typical gypsy/Romanian female looking pan handler on route 29, nothing new.

My hitler-detector broke reading that thread.

But extra funny that there's people in that thread saying "actually the correct term is Roma" then continue on with racist comments. Gotta love libs, they'll put you in the camp but at least they'll use the right word for your group as they do it.

Sort of the lib equivalent of when conservatives will call for thinly veiled ethnic cleansing but then censor the curse words because, hey, God is watching.

I’m half convinced that it’s a bunch of people who are offended that the OP dared to confuse the Roma with Romanians.

“Um, actually, I think you’ll find that Romani are beneath Romanians on this helpful chart.”

All the comments calling out his racism were downvoted into oblivion. All local subreddit users get the mine shaft.

Pretty much all local subreddits get captured by reactionaries eventually. Whether by local companies and chambers of commerce or by organized rightwing networks. This phenomenon is well-documented.
