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 cannot conceive of a comedy writer writing this and not realizing it sounds like they're doing a bit.

to be fair, he was one ninth of the writing team for Borat 2, a largely unscripted improv comedy

maybe his contribution was mostly in the "add more racism" scope

"Needs more gypsie caricatures"

"Has anyone considered face paint for this character?"

It reads like an alex-aware rant

Maybe he's trying to carve out a niche for himself in the hopes he can become a Netflix comic.
