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'm so so glad that tumblr outgrew insults like this in like 2015 and i haven't had to see them since. overly verbose "i'm smarter than you and so not owned" insults are up there with the most cringe ass shit the internet does.

People who are super well read and articulate are attractive precisely because they don't overuse it and instead pull out banger niche words once in a blue moon that gives it proper clout.

People who exclusively talk like that make my skin crawl with cringe.

Ive seen many of your comments and only just now realized that that's your icon, and not an emote you put in every message lmao

I'll be honest, I'm still kind of partial to calling people troglodytes, but I mostly do it because I've been trying to get update my vocabulary to not be ableist. Also I think it's funny to call people troglodytes when they begin talking about what a woman should or should not be, which WAAAAAY too many men around me have a habit of doing.

Impressingly enough Egon Olsen has a lot of non-ableist insults. You might get some good additions to your vocabulary by watching Olsen banden.
Porridge farmer is pretty good.
