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

it's pretty easy to deflate this rhetoric if you know how to press their buttons;
"Do you want your daughter to marry a guy struggling with the urge to kiss men?"
I mean, whatever, at this level of homophobia they clearly want to exterminate anyone who isn't a cishet Christian. "Pushing their buttons" is just a shortcut to get them angry enough to admit it.
Well, yeah. If you can get them to say that, it's the fastest way to discredit them to anyone listening/lurking.
I found this to have funny results for people who are all hurt about dating dynamics as well. "Oh, so you would rather be a woman?"
