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

Isn't this a little like seeing the second name Bond and connecting that with 007?

It will take 2 generations before most people don't see the connection anymore.

Associating a millennium-old Jewish name with pedophilia because of one dude is bad, actually

I get where you're coming from but again, I don't think i'm ever going to see the name Epstein without that association coming to mind. Removing it from our minds is not a conscious action.

People can choose not to post it but everyone's gonna think it and someone that hasn't heard this is gonna haha-reference it every time.

I wasn't arguing in favour of it, merely the point that it's never going to be stoppable.

Still not an association we should be strengthening tbh
