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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Hexbear is sort of like a village of eldritch abomination worshippers in a Lovecraftian horror story - isolated, insular, entirely wrapped up in their own esoteric rituals and ideas and language, and immediately and collectively hostile to outsiders.

It’s so funny when anyone complains about “echo chambers” when talking about internet communities dedicated to specific themes/topics. If I wanted a dipshit neoliberal yapping I would go back to reddit.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 27 points 10 months ago (3 children)

If this were an echo chamber there'd be just one school of thought instead of like fifty. I think there's hoxhaists in here

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 26 points 10 months ago

There's even practicers of Juche necromancy

Some of us have schools of thought so esoteric and irony pilled that we aren't even sure where the bit ends and our real beliefs begin

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

me being so contrarian and steeped in irony I end up reading theory for joke material making me indistinguishable from a Marxist shitposter on a Russian bean recipe website

Why you gotta call people out like this? Why can't you just let us have our fun?

please, do not summon enver

Fitting that they view people with a different opinion the same way reactionary-era Lovecraft viewed tribal people.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

Or just like, Finnish people or something. Dude had an advanced degree in racism

Comparing this depiction with the reality of beanis-posting

I've always thought Innsmouth was cottagecore af so this checks out

No QT deep one gf tho :(

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think Dunwich is more cottagecore but also havent gotten around to reading Innsmouth yet, just know the basic plot beats

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Dunwich

Also a really nice Electric Wizard track

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

And a fun 70s horror flick! Top notch mustache on the main homie iirc

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

qt 3.14 deep one gf

If I remember right, the deep ones were all male who mated with human women. Those women are just like....Connecticut fishing town girls.

[–] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 31 points 10 months ago

This needs to be a tagline.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Synthesis. The student protestors are being funded by Dagon. Actually no, that seems like something somebody would say with no sense of humor about it.

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 26 points 10 months ago

That sounds like something Jordan Peterson would say tbh

We don't even isolate ourselves. Other instances preemptively defederate with us

[–] SoylentSnake@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

this makes us sound metal af and we are not nearly this cool, i fear

i meant with the exception of you. (and maybe....me? possibly????)
