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

He strikes me as one of those purely parasocial relationship streamers. People like him because he feels like a buddy aimlessly talking in your living room about video games or whatever.

negl when I used to watch him frequently, it's because he reminds me, dead-ass of the guy that used to play the bass in my high school doom metal band. Old homie had way better facial hair tho; dude looked like Serj Tankian cut to 5'5.

I've watched quite a bit of his stuff and all I know about jim is that he's wholesome, hot, and kind of into alien conspiracy theories because of his dad. so no I don't think he's particularly parasocial.
