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.

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

“It shows”

I can’t help but wonder if he deep down understands what he’s saying is a load of crap and if he’s aware that he’s just running damage control for Western Liberalism and this rotten world order it’s built for for its own sake. People will be fooled if they want to be fooled, and liberals who want to pretend that their ideology isn’t sustained by the blood of thousands of children in the global periphery will grasp at anything, no matter how weak. Especially true for streamer grift artists whose personal brand depends on it (something something “you can’t convince someone if their paycheck depends on their ignorance)

There’a no link since I just grabbed this screen, but it looks like he deleted/hid it lol

lol at "Video Game Guy"

It seems that some typical white dumb male is always making a career off of being "Video Game Guy" and I hate it.

Seriously, check gaming YouTube: they're practically all white cishet male hosts. Barely any Black and Latino, for example.

But a surprising amount of Indians.

Yes, I have noticed that and there are more Black YouTubers that do video games than there were, say, 5 years ago so that's something, at least.

But yeah, you'll generally find a lot of "white Gen Xers" having a video game channel and either being solidly centrist when it comes to politics (or neutral) or at least somewhat right-wing (and I do mean at least since they can range to very right-wing as well).

It can depend a lot on the genre of video game as well, there are a lot of black content creators in the fighting game community

White people monopolize the video game guy market

Asian people monopolize the programmer and productivity cult market

Black people monopolize the short length comedy skit market

I haven’t determined what market Hispanic content creators monopolize yet

LMAO

Well, it sucks that us Hispanics haven't really monopolized anything, I guess, but I suppose that just makes us more proletarian lol

(I kid, I kid)
