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

MODERATORS
imagine ending a lucrative partnership/long term friendship over someone disliking the same guy as you, but a little more
honestly really repellent behavior
It also makes all their other "edgy" humor just seem conpletely cringe.
They make fun of pearl clutches getting mad at rock music because it's the devil so made rock songs about the devil and rocks but if somebody says something mean about a fascist that's a bridge to far.
Jack Black would rather still be in kung-fu panda 27, instead of being tethered to a guy who pulled a kathy lee griffin by going in too hard on trump for civility-minded people.
what kathy griffin did was significantly cooler and more hardcore! that's part of what makes it so gutless; this is basically a nothing statement that literally billions of people would casually agree with and it's being treated as if gass came out and said "i am a full-fledged neo-nazi, i have killed before and i will kill again, a very special thank you to my boy jack for making it all possible!" it's so far beyond ridiculous.
"Such a comment is too incivil"
😤
Jack Black definitely agrees, he's just a hyper careerist with a very manicured public persona. These people believe in their careers above all, and that's what this is about. All PR.
He probably has enough money to live on for the rest of his life without working again if he wanted to. At that point, you either have principles or you don't and Jack Black clearly doesn't.
Apparently he has $50 million.
Ah, enough that he, his children, his grandchildren, and his great-grandchildren need never work a day in their lives.
Apparently if you buy 1$ million worth of state bonds, the yearly payout will be about equal to a teacher's salary (depending on the type of bond of course). That's not a lot, but it's enough to live on in a lot of places. He can buy that fifty times.
sure, but this is how rich people are.
It’s time he stopped LARPing at being a rock star if he wants to be family friendly G-rated celeb
And yet, completely par for a rock star.
oooooh trust me, i know it. i spent my teens/early 20s around college town musicians
the disgusting shit most of them routinely did makes this look like a downright heroic way to spend your time in comparison
I know, right? You've known each other for years, this is completely tame.
