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 used to make pretty good videos parodying infomercials and playing bad horror games but the algorithm turned against medium-short form content and the youtube rules turned against gaming so he's defacto become a news and drama vlogger, two things he's generally pretty bad at since most of his takes take about 2 minutes to explain but he has to repeat himself over and over again to get to the 10-15 minute mark and because he's so afraid to get demonetized or copyright stricken he never shows clips from whatever event he's talking about so it's just his face staring into a desktop camera for almost the entire video.

Otherwise he's fairly inoffensive if bland and he's a great way to gauge what the "normies" are talking about since with the death of the monoculture it's pretty damn hard to figure out what non-political conversations are happening in wider society outside of one's discord server
