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

My brother in christ, take the L
The W for this site is getting to say narcissist is a slur? Uhhh okay. Honesly tricking you guys into going for that would be fine with me even if other guy also wants that because of their evil brainpan
I generally think people can be worked with and aren't intrinsically evil. It's specifically
that get all essentialist about peoples biology vis a vis their usefulness to society and that's why they get the pit.
Understanding where people are and not wanting to insult them is very different from giving them free reign to hurt other people.
I've been watching this from the start and it reminds me a lot of how people reacted super-negatively to the pronoun tags too. In the end it was more telling on them than anything else.
I've had plenty of bad experiences with people with poor emotional regulation, from a number of sources. I'm fine with people treating it as something for serious discussion and not levelling it flippantly as an insult. That's more what I have an issue with, I don't see how drawing a line at name calling over something people might legitimately be working on (especially as it relates to their own life) is difficult or enabling.
