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
"Politically correct" was, afaik, the GOP stealing a concept from academia and then misusing it in bad faith. They just lobbed it at everyone who was opposed to torturemurdering black children. Same thing with "bleeding heart", Woke, Critical race theory, and I'm sure many others I have forgotten due to the brain abraiding side effects of AMerican politics.
DEI is the newest one after CRT went out of fashion.
AFAIK it was a sardonic left-punching thing left-libs were doing to begin with, like a bunch of socdems and trots chortling about things not being "politically correct" to mock MLs and maoists. I can only imagine it as the 80s equivalent of redditors going "I'm as left as they come and I'll get *starts giggling* banned for this, but China bad tinyman square 1984 -700 social credit! *bursts out laughing*" and then being upvoted by CIA bots and given awards.
