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 ultimately the christo-leftist self sacrifice ideology that we see on display here. These people fetishize the idea of sacrifice even when it accomplishes nothing. It's also telling that Bushnell had just severed connections with a Christian cult. This has nothing to do with respecting the dead and more to warn people not to fucking kill themselves. You can do so much good in your life and it's possible and worth it to live so you can feel happy.

I've also had many many friends kill themselves over the years, as is common for a trans "elder". I'm sick of seeing good people die to no benefit and I'm sick of seeing ideologies disseminated that justifies it.
