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

Oh my fucking god these dweebs used scrorecards and wrote up a whole ass formula for this didn't they.

Okay so they dunk on both the Democrats and Republicans? +1 Left Bias, +1 Right Bias. Uh oh, they just used reasoning to make a conclusion instead of just "stating the facts" tsk tsk -1 Truthiness. If we divide the factual content density by the fallacy tendency coefficient, and take the derivative of the political bias slope...well obviously Trueanon is to the right of CNN and less factual than the NY Post!

Dorks who are impressed by this shit are just Advanced Stats nerds except they're using their vapid understanding of media criticism rather than sports to be smug about how smart and objective they are.
