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.
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

What's the meaning of the Khrushchev corn emoji
In this context, it's a reference to a Dril tweet:

Someone is shriveling into a corncob aka being bombarded with negative attention and trying to minimize it
"Corncob" is a shorthand for someone who's in obvious and comical denial about losing an argument, someone posted the dril tweet the term came from. In this case, the tweeter is circlejerking with supportive comments while banning everyone else from responding with the simple point that bridget is explicitly canonically trans
Khruschev isn't meaningful to my comment, he just happens to be on our corn-related emoji
