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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-25/youtuber-dr-disrespect-was-allegedly-kicked-off-twitch-for-messaging-minor ( https://archive.is/849W9 )

Guy Beahm, known online as Dr Disrespect, is one of the top video-game celebrities on social media, with 4.7 million YouTube subscribers. He’s worked with the San Francisco 49ers pro football team and been a spokesman for Mountain Dew soda.

He was also banned four years ago by Amazon Inc.’s Twitch for violating its community guidelines. The chat app Discord followed, removing him from its partnership program

The reasons for his banishment from Twitch were never given, but three people with knowledge of the matter said Beahm was removed because he exchanged sexually explicit messages with a minor through the service’s direct chat feature. He also asked a minor about her plans at the TwitchCon convention, according to two of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing such a sensitive matter.

This video covers the full history of Dr Disrespect. It's quite an odd history. On the day that Dr Disrespect was banned, he was promoting David Icke, an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who believes in a humanoid reptilian conspiracy theory, also known for endorsing the book "Protocols of the Elders of Zion". Prior to the covid lockdowns, he told his viewers that he had put shungite crystals around his house to block 5G waves to protect himself from covid. He's also friends with Nickmercs who is very transphobic. Content warning, the video shows a clip of nickmercs being transphobic and defending Dr Disrespect.

I thought David Icke was the "all Western leaders and the British royal family are blood-drinking humanoid reptiles from space."

I believe that is also true yes. I updated my post to include that. Thanks
