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 
crowd appropriate left-wing activist language and slogans and applying them to their culture war talking point du jour

If 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 
s can boycott them
This is just the 1980s Satanic Panic again...
a classic Gamergate Moment was when notorious anti-video game culture warrior and disbarred lawyer Jack Thompson came out against Anita Sarkeesian and they immediately ate it up. Ridiculous people.
Maaan remember when Jack Thompson was the bad guy cuz he wanted to ban GTA San Andreas over the hot coffee thing or whatever?
Yes! The internet has altered the phenomenon a little, though. Today's panics have the nationwide presence, but no longer hold as much space in the national consciousness. So, instead of everyone being aware that there's An Outrage over jazz or Elvis Presley or D&D or heavy metal or 'satanic' preschools or M rated games, it's just pockets of people - smattered across the anglosphere, yet networked together - who are deeply outraged. Everyone who isn't immediately the target is kinda oblivious.
There's your perennial capital-gee :freeze-gamer: outrage, a near inexhaustible eddy of consumerist vitriol with nearly no understanding of the labor or processes that go into production (thank god for Stephanie Sterling, doing the lord's work). There's also a running effort to ban books from [and/or] outright dismantle the public library system. Mostly driven by older crowd, disseminated through facebook groups and preacher pulpits. Whole lotta transphobia and homophobia there, plus the usual pear-clutching over sex-ed. A few months back there was a "zombie outbreak" style panic over a test of the national alert system. Just a decade ago, that was the kind of thing you'd hear jokes about on the radio. Today, you have to be either in the panic or actively spectating it to even hear about it.
I'm sure there's more i'm just not aware of.
But these 4chan/gamer types are just so incoherent. They're all terminally hentai-brained perverts who crave and love all kinds of filth, like most of their outrage is specifically about video game ladies not being sexy enough for them to jack off to, but then also parrot this Pat Robertson-style conservative Christian pearl clutching culture war shit
Like which one is it, pick a fucking lane
¿Por qué no ambos?
They're conservative Christians (and "atheists" who've never reexamined their own protestant assumptions), angry that it's not socially acceptable to treat women as things and even more angry that the popular escapist toys don't pander to their desire to treat women as things in fictional spaces.
It's just funny that the people who campaigned against Dungeons & Dragons, heavy metal, horror movies and pornography AND the nerds who liked those things are now in the same camp politically
What makes this extremely bizarre is that you can guarantee that 99% of these people grew up playing violent video games, watched family guy or South Park or horror and action movies when they weren’t allowed, and probably browse the gore and violence and crudeness of 4chan or related sites and accounts.
They’ve simultaneously become more fascist while also artificially disliking the shit they once enjoyed, not out of maturity or natural disinterest, but because the unironic AVGNs on YouTube told them it’s not traditional family values. Dudes who are 35, at best, pretending to be mature old men. It’s not different than a child who sits at the adult table and pretend to be sophisticated by nodding his head along with the adults. But none of them are adults, they’re all the same age or younger
