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

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
