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

There is something incredibly perverse and funny seeing the pronounjak crowd appropriate left-wing activist language and slogans and applying them to their culture war talking point du jour

spoilerIf you have don't have any clue what this word salad is, Sweet Baby inc is some video game story consultancy firm that gamers have decided is reaponsible for making every character gay, trans and ugly. Someone started a curated Steam collection for games they've worked on so freeze-gamers can boycott them

It makes no sense. The Mark of the Beast is supposed to be a Bad thing that Satan or the Antichrist or whomever forces people to take on

They don't even know what biblical prophecy they're yelling about

They just learned it from the weirdos who yelled at them about it and the people they learned it from didn't know what the fuck they were talking about either

16 And he [the anti-christ] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The "mark of the beast" isn't a pentagram, which is a pagan symbol villainized by Christians that has no biblical backing. The mark of the beast is the number 666 placed on everyone's right hand or forehead - and everyone has to do it or they get cut out of society and exiled.

So the chuds here are taking on the role of the anti-christ if they are forcing the mark onto other subjects, and they are trying to "exile" the "woke" elements in the industry (women, trans people, queer people, non-white people) through shaming them. They much better fit the beast in this metaphor than any woke people do.

if they are applying the mark of the beast to games, that makes them the anti-christ/beast in this metaphor lmao. Not sure if they thought that one through.
