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

Wait this isn't a satire sub?
Why would it be?
I have a dislike of dogs driven by fear personally, and prefer to not be in the vicinity of the ones large enough to do serious harm if I got attacked. Thus, you have a bunch of people with even stronger fixations and a misanthropic view coming together and creating a subreddit or other community.
From this, say a strong fear of walking by fences where you know dogs are, charging at you from behind the fence and barking at loud volumes, you have a self-strengthening echo-chamber with some added reddit-brand smugness to it.
"I don't like/fear dogs/other phobia commonly faced in the wild" can for example turn to "I hate people who are likely to own a dog" or whatever. Or it could not and stay as pointless and bizarre posting like this.
