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 [email protected]

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

It's a traditional cultural symbol of this site with a rich cultural heritage.

I get that the huge emojis can be annoying, but we haven't even been in that many threads outside here have we?

Remember the Twitter discourse around "corncobbing" being allegedly homophobic or something, about 4 years ago?

Eve Fartlow also claimed that seeing "free parking" made a guy have a panic attack because he thought it said free palestine

Edit - This is a WH40k meme. I think it's Ciaphas Cain. So yes, fashy, but in a silly context. Sometimes. When the authors remember it's satire.

I think he mixed up cops and actual pigs, so I can see the fascist connection

I guess that the line could be interpreted in that way, but I don't think that was the intended meaning.

The way I read it, the poster is saying that Hexbears (20 of them for every level headed poster) are doing 3 things.

  1. Posting pigs
  2. Posting concerning images with fascist roots
  3. Being generally disruptive

I don't think the post was drawing a connection between 1 and 2. But idk because I didn't read the thread because I don't want brain damage

Well I guess they are sus scrofus amogus 🐷
