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

Pretty much yeah. I enjoyed a number of his videos since it was sort of nostalgic to relive Kony 2012, fyre festival, leroy jenkins, some of that pre-gamergate 4chan stuff, but yeah I pegged him as a 4chan nazi immediately just based on what he chose to cover. idubbbz, joji, tyler the creator, earl sweatshirt - that's really the way to do it. Recognize you were wrong but also young, and move forward.
Wait, Tyler the Creator? What the what now?
yeah I was just naming people who I associate with edgy humor and "shock humor" who have drastically changed their images. Those 4 were the first 4 who came to mind
Okay but Tyler The Creator didn't do shit to make up for his previous dickishness, he just came out as gay and everyone pretended nothing happened before that.
tbh I don't know that much about him past his edgy era. I know he has apologized for some stuff though, so I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't change his opinions on things behind the scenes given how his music and image has changed over the years, but maybe not? I don't think earl has explicitly apologized for anything either outside of offhand suggestions that he regrets certain things, but it's pretty clear his opinions have made a complete 180 since EARL.
Okay but Tyler The Creator isn't a nazi, he was a total dick. Those are different things. He isn't a white supremacist just because he was a misogynist or because he made fun of people with mental health problems.
