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

MODERATORS
I would add that this tier list isn't about whether these people are good, or whether they are zionist. This is not a list of good to bad. I think the list is guessing whether people have experienced arab culture, but the people who make the list don't even try to be accurate. It's a silly and pointless list which isn't supposed to mean anything.
In the Arab category, you have Hasan Piker who is from Turkey, then you have his friend Austin Show. Then the 3rd guy in the Arab category is Nickmercs, who is one of the top call of duty streamers and massive transphobe and friend of Dr Disrespect. The 4th guy is Myth, one of the best ever Fortnite streamers and friend of Hasan. The sixth guy in the Arab category is Ishowspeed, who is a streamer who acts like a clown but also yells Free Palestine a lot.
xQc was put in the "arab coded" category, who is a massive chud and promoter of crypto gambling. Next to xQc is Kai Cenat, who was the #1 streamer on twitch for most of the year and attributed with creating the word "rizz", and doesn't ever talk about politics.
The first person in the "ask perms" category is Ludwig, who presents himself as like financially affluent guy but also converted his business into a workers cooperative. The 4th person in this category is Pokemane, known as the most famous woman video game streamer, who is an arab woman with citizenship in Morocco, but grew up in Canada.
The "thinks it's a slur" has Mizkif who is a edgelord gamer and Moist Critical who is one of those vocal fry drama youtube video essayists.
There's Ethan in the "Loves Sabra" category, but the second person in the "loves sabra" category is Mike From PA, who is the second largest self-proclaimed socialist news channel on twitch. I pulled up the video at this point and the people on stage are saying "let's put mike in the sabra category" and laughing. Mike shouts "I've never ate sabra in my life" from the audience and whole audience laughs. I watch Mike From PA talk about the news sometimes and Mike is definitely antizionist and he is someone who is hated by Ethan.
TLDR is that the list doesn't mean anything at all. It's not a list of zionists vs anti-zionists either. The list is completely incoherent. It was made as a joke, but it's sort of an inside joke that is only understood by one podcast community. Ethan is stupid for bringing up this list at all.
