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

Hamas ate my homework
Idr where it was bit saw one of these from a "student" complaining that the protests were bad because they'd shut down campus and he had a bunch of expirements that he'd spent months on that where ruined now because he couldn't get to the science building.
All the top comments were "did you try going outside, if you're not an asshole the protestors just let you through, I was doing work in the lab right next to yours all day"
But yea in general any small subreddits are gonna be mostly overrun with "concerned locals" who ideologically align about 98% with the klan concern trolling.
"I wanted to go to the mall but there were teenagers outside the door smoking cigarettes and using cuss words" energy
These mfers do not speak for students. I live right next to a UC and literally everyone even if they are annoyed by it supports the cause.
our universities are full of WOKE CULTURAL MARXISTS who want to OVERTHROW AMERICA, and that's why petulant whining about minor protests groups get absolutely raked over the coals at every university you can imagine!
Mines so bad they made a Tiny Man Tank post yesterday lmao. I don't think any other school can top that
i had a school teacher once who made the entire class do a minute of silence for the "tank man from the Taiwan massacre"
most people do not agree with the protestors and think they are immoral for their naive propagandized beliefs.
Incredible.
If it's anything like my alma mater's subreddit, it's 99% STEMlords (especially CS majors), so I wouldn't take it to be representative of the student body at large.
Also, I just checked mine and they had the exact same takes lol
From my estimates that subreddit is almost certainly not representative of UCSC. Police raid on the protest had like ~200 arrests, my roommate got arrested, suspended, and now can't take his finals, police are driving around campus constantly, and people are STILL going to the protest. There's ~20000 students, so that's about 1% of the entire student population arrested. And those were the most dedicated people camping there at like 3am when the police came. Estimate the percentage of the entire population that's pro-Palestine compared to the proportion of anti-Palestine posts on the subreddit. I would guess that people not from UCSC are posting a lot of those.
