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

i definitely understand the narrative when it comes to young people's views on sex in popular culture, where gen z people polled were extremely sex negative. They didn't want any sex in movies whatsoever, they didn't want any sex in TV or music whatsoever. There are in practice more sex negative than the Hays code, rivaling Victorian era purity policing and moral panics.

I think this has to do with them being raised on internet porn, and thus conflating degrading/exploitative porn and sex. Porn has poisoned all of sexuality and made it all bad, hence why it needs to be removed from the "good" part of their lives (the public superego facing portion that consumes and discusses media). They don't want to be reminded of their "sinful" life fapping while out and about because when you aren't in the mood for it that hardcore degrading stuff is unsettling. Hard to blame the generation for disliking sex when what "sex" has become in 2024 is pornhub front page incest/fetishist shit.
