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

i refuse to believe this is sincere

[–] LeZero@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want to believe it's a bit mocking the childfree subreddit

But also it's reddit-logo so...

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

nobody's relatives spend decades badgering them about when you're going to get a dog

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I checked the subreddit, it's completely unironic comedy gold.

Only reddit-logo could make a subreddit like r/IHateSunshineAndRainbowsAndPuppiesAndIceCreamAndNiceThings and somehow fill it with people who actually feel that way. It's that kind of phenomenon that makes me unironically think they make Redditors in an underground lab somewhere.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I'm betting it started off as a joke sub and then a bunch of misocynics showed up for real

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why the fuck is there a subreddit called /r/dogfree? Dogs are rad doggo-matapacos

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What if you took all the ridiculous behavior of anti-natalists and made them anti-pet?

[–] Florn@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is this not the joke that the subreddit is making?

[–] Lucien@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, this feels like a sarcasm sub in reaction to r/childfree

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

That sub is completely sincere. I'm sure it started as a joke sub, but it aint anymore

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's not ironic

[–] The_Jewish_Cuban@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not a reddit or about it but I think dogs being everywhere in public is kind of annoying.

Furthermore, I think dogs being treated like people in a society which has such extreme poverty is emblematic of a deep sickness.

my theory is that someone started it as a parody sub of /r/childfree, but by creating it immediately created a new identity for insane freaks to latch on to.

Honestly if ppl are malding at a dog getting a seat at the Oscars and them not getting one, then that's fucking hilarious

[–] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

PissedCaucasian just feels threatened by celebrity dogs for the affection of white women

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I gotta say, this image from that sub is hilarious, tho:

[–] VapeNoir@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

Imagine being all "WE'RE LOSING THE CULTURE WAR" but it's about the domestication of the dog.

[–] whatup@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (13 children)

The post is silly, but western dog culture is still misanthropic, gross, and hypocritical. I will never trust people who say they like animals more than people (weird how they usually eat meat…). They remind me of that lady who demanded the removal of homeless people at a public park because they scared her dog. Also, Reddit doggo language is like nails on a chalk board.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i don't think that's actually that common or really much of an issue at all. homeless people also have and love their dogs.

Please, Hollywood is too sophisticated for that. Clearly there will be separate “Bestest Boy” and “Bestest Girl” awards.

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They photoshopped clapping paws

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no they have a guy laying under the seat move two prop paws so it looks like the dog is clapping.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Absolutely hilarious, he looks like he's having a blast honestly.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Shittily made, shittily animated paw puppets are a top tier bit no matter the context

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was staring at it an hour ago before figuring out what it was supposed to be

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

I thought for a moment that they folded that poor dog in half to fit it in the seat

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I want to be a trainer to a celebrity dog and get to live the high life while smooching my best bud.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Training animals for film seems pretty difficult lol

Imagine hating dogs enough to post on "r/dogfree".

Imagine caring about the oscars having a dog in it.

Imagine your vision of a tragic future being "they will have a 'best dog' award at the oscars"

[–] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

dogs: exist

some grown ass adult: dennis "HELP! HELP! I'M BEING REPRESSED!"

Imagine choosing the username "PissedCaucasian"

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You have to admit though, that it's a very accurate username. Caring about that type of shit is equally as white as the people who kiss their dog on the libs.

Imagine hating dogs enough to post on "r/dogfree".

Over 4.5 million people in the US alone are bitten by dogs every year. Dogs are fast, strong, vicious animals which can and do maul people. All the time. Why pretend not to understand why some people fear or hate them?

[–] InternetLefty@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] booty@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Having empathy for victims of violence is being a "nerd?"

Straight up, fuck you. Terminally online irony-poisoned redditlord.

Did I say "imagine being scared of dogs"? No, I said "Imagine hating dogs and dog owners so much that you post on a toxic subreddit entirely dedicated to that hate"

It's like someone said "r/incel" is a toxic community and you went and said "Well actually loneliness and depression among young males is a serious problem, why are you making fun of them?"

That subreddit is fucking comedy gold, holy shit this has me laughing so hard

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I like dogs i-think-that

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

"best dog" would definitely bring ratings back up tho

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

WTF is with the dogs legs in that photo?

[–] NoYouLogOff@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Probably puppet legs to clap along as a gag
