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
They call it a "dog" to lessen fear, but in a few years these things will be shooting back.
The way they talk about that robot in a quadruped form is still somehow more humane than the way they talk about/treat the actual dogs they abuse into being weapons. Honestly, more robot “dogs” just means less euthanized Belgian shepherds who can’t unlearn a traumatic puppyhood of being forced to bark and bite on (to the dog random) stimuli
They treat that robot better than the actual human people they harass and murder.
I was just going to say something along those lines, it feels very uncanny to me that the terminology goes unchallenged; the only thing it has in common with a dog is how it moves.
Accepting the word "dog" works to compare this to an actual living being, and hide the fact that it's just a terrestrial drone. Seeing the article just accept it makes my skin crawl.
