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

"Lewds" isn't exclusively about kiddie creeping, but it's hard for me to shake the association with kiddie creeping because of decades of kiddie creepers on places like 4ch!n talking about "lewds" in the way that that typically meant there. ![kombucha-disgust](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/47e615e9-e897-4206-ad34-f2f6162cc749.png "emoji kombucha-disgust")

The word is contaminated for me, and I see it as a warning sign when someone uses it openly like that.

The word is everywhere in weeb circles. I refuse to use it because if you're an adult you can just use the actual words when talking about sex.

"Lewd" is an oddly infantilizing euphemism, it's a word you'd use when talking about sex to someone who still giggles every time you say "penis", to whom sex is a naughty word. That's the vibe that that word gives me and why I don't like it.
