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

It’s “Lunar New Year” now. Of course, there are many lunar calendars with differing starts of the year but let’s just pave over that to Frankenstein together some generic nonspecific holiday because Gyna bad.

Nothingburger.

Chinese games that aren't afraid to place Chinese culture forward call it Lunar New Year in the west too.

My hometown has a lot of Chinese people and a lot of Vietnamese people. Lunar New Year seems appropriate.

Genshin impact is made by libs who will submit to whatever bullshit the west comes up with to make more money.

You can still celebrate Chinese culture, you just have to make it clear you’re not “connected to the PRC”.

Chinese people having to change the names of their holidays in the west because of this is not a “nothingburger”.
