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

This is Divergent-tier worldbuilding. Every region has one trait and once you know that trait you know just about everything there is to know about that place. The Harry Potter houses have more creativity than this.

Edit: Also I don't know if there's a word for it but "Neo Phoenix" is kinda like saying "irregardless". If something is named after the phoenix, it's already implied that it is the new version of something that existed previously. "Neo Phoenix" sounds weirdly redundant.

Fuck, even in Divergent the twist was that the divides really were completely artificial and arbitrary with the villain’s eugenics shit being complete delusion…
