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

Sacha Baron-Cohen of all people did this?

You mean the celebrated comedian whose most famous schticks are the generic Muslim Middle Eastern dictator who is terrible in every way and the Central Asian anti-Semite who is sexually deranged and borderline uncivilized?

Why, it's almost as if this was inverted and a Muslim man from the Middle East played a grossly stereotyped depiction of an Israeli Jew for cheap laughs that there would be an immense outcry against what clearly amounts to open bigotry and racist caricature...

Reminder he exploited and ridiculed deeply impoverished people in rural Romania while making Borat.
