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

Theory: cishet white boomers are so vanilla and puritanical about sex because their D/S dynamic is inflicted upon the entirety of society with no safeword; they don't need to play pretend in latex suits and stuff behind closed doors. Their entire lives are constructed around ensuring the complete dominance of one person over the other in marriage in a way far more totalising than any sex-slave fetish thing could ever be.

I agree with this take. Every time boomers talk about marriage it's like I'm listening to some extremely submissive bottom tell me their crazy fantasy. How do you not get embarrassed by being so overly sexual in public?

I'm sure Dworkin or Foucault have some deep analysis of the historical reactionary mindset, but you can't convince me they're not also getting off.
