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

Well, if we're going to equate correlation to causation then one might point out that those dangerous countries you mentioned are run by and are majority white people ... Curious :think-about-it:
Also, it might be Japan, you know, pretending it's safer than it really is. It's not like they like to talk about taboo things.
Nah, when I lived there it was very common to see young children on trains, busses, and walking by themselves with zero adult supervision. It is just socially acceptable for kids to be off doing their own thing at a very young age.
Also, not to go off at you personally but I think there's something vaguely orientalist in the idea that Japan (or any other Asian country) does things to save face or whatever. Like we don't look at dumb American high school sitcoms and talk about how Americans are sweeping school shootings under the rug because they're saving face.
You're right, that was a bad stereotype, sorry.
