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 chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

I tried to send this as a personal message several times but it didn't go through, and because it isn't technically violating a disengagement because you posted a lot more than a disengagement declaration of intent in your last post, I'll just post the message here.

Privately, I just read your most recent message in good faith (even if it blatantly violated the disengagement rules) and I think you did have a point.

I saw "shallow reading" as a presumptive, and yes, arrogant claim that if I read it deeper (and I wasn't interested; the patriarchal presentation and the bad female writing and the gendered magic system in the books put me off very early on) that I would agree with you, thus my Petersonian reference.

Looking back, comparing your post to Jordan Peterson's "you can't disagree if you watched enough videos" sophistry was incendiary and I actually do regret that, especially because I didn't even know that you actually agreed with me about the actual ideological presentation in the books more than you originally let on. But that was lost in the spiraling escalation.

You don't have to like me, and I'm not exactly happy about "I never liked your posts and you don't belong here" hostility, but I think I will take some of what you said to heart anyway.
