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 think iconoclasm does genuinely emerge from an instinct that shitass art of holy thing would be bad, but one didn't need AI to reach the conclusion art can be cringe

Yeah, it's probably far more likely they saw all the weird ideas Christians had about depicting the baby Jesus with an adult's face and just decided to opt out.

Don't you dare insult minature grown man baby Jesus! I'll have you know the Jesus Homonculus is the only canonical way to portray Infant Jesus and anyone who disagrees is a heretic.

In ancient times, if you were conquered by a foreign army, your statues and graven images could just be re-labelled as their God(s), whereas if you had an iconoclastic tradition based in the written word, it was much harder to destroy your traditions.
