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

I don't really think it's worse than surrogacy, IVF, or a rape victim deciding to keep a child, tbh. seems weirdly regressive to place sacred importance on how someone is conceived.

that said, I have a date with my beautiful corpse girlfriend

Hahaha, yeah, I've just been sitting on this for some time and wondering how to conceptualize it. I can understand a couple trying to have kids and doing an IVF or surrogacy, or a victim deciding to keep the kid, that's cool. Sorry if I came off as regressive or puritan on conception, wasn't aiming for that. But I think what Comrade @AsLeftAsTheyCome@hexbear.net typed beneath here explained best what I was trying to express.
