      No amount of rhetoric will ever convince me that someone who engages in the act of “dunking” is supposed to be taken seriously… The word sounds like a family-friendly replacement for what should be profanity.

      Either own it and say that you’re using provocation as a “90s flame war tactic” or get dunked right back into the kiddie pool.

      From what I’ve seen, “dunk culture” means coming into an online space, behave like a group of howler monkeys, make a complete ass of yourself and declare a win when everybody who isn’t a part of your group stops interacting with you.
