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'm not sure where I stand on it. Would you say it's okay to falsify a protected characteristic? (potentially blocking an 'authentic' person from getting the role)

Maybe I'm identity politics poisoned. Of course, if you're starving then sure, but for the most part people aren't at that point in the US/UK, otherwise there'd be more realistic hope of revolution.

The role isnt as a gay man, we're obviously not promoting people don blackface or something.

I'm not super thrilled with an employer recording sexuality for anyone, obviously its more complex than this, but the boundaries of what makes someone straight are so fuzzy and personal, I wish we werent all stuck discussing the importance.

Anyway this story is fake, and you shouldnt really be discussing sex at work anyway, I'm cranky sorry

Part of me wants to fake an application to one of the "traditional values" places hiring so I can describe, in detail, how much I love sucking dick at the interview
