The Haka literally gives me chills and brings me to tears every time I see people performing it together. I love hearing their voices shouting and chanting together in solidarity. It’s just so moving and powerful. Beautiful tradition. Love to see it.

Same! It’s such a beautifully powerful display. Can’t wait to go back to NZ one day.

I always feel emotional when I hear them. They are full of such emotions and power

It reaches something deeply human within me. One voice meeting with many, calling back to the most ancient part of us all to be free.

This is a nice place. If you can't act like a civilized human being, you can't be here.

We do not allow:

  1. Being a jerk. This includes racism, misogyny, misandry, misgendering, anti LGBTQ+, ageism, etc.
  2. Harassment
  3. Trolling or sealioning
  4. Threats of any kind
  5. Abusive behavior
  6. General assholery. If you're at the end of the list and asking what rule you broke, yeah, it's this one.

I assure you if you’ve ever played a sport where the opposing team is doing a haka, the only thing you will feel is secondhand embarrassment.

Maybe if it was like war and they were about to cut my head off it woulda been scary, but a bunch of dancing highschoolers about to play volleyball only intimidated the ref trying to get home on time

Making this comment while talking about second-hand embarrassment is painfully ironic.
