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

Arch is still around?

Thought he got cancelled. Guess it doesn't work

Was he more of a general gaming Youtuber before making a hard right pivot at some point

He was a prominent Warhammer 40k personality. He was always right wing of the gamergate variety. But essentially his views got him in trouble with Games Workshop because his original name was "Arch Warhammer" and GW said that he wasn't allowed to use that name because they don't want to be associated with him.

Then there was something really funny that happened. He had a subreddit r/archwarhammer but it somehow got infiltrated by people from r/sigmarxism, and the commie mod purged the regular users and converted the sub from a place to discuss Arch Warhammer into a place to discuss literal arches in the WH40k universe lol

stalin-approval I'm glad this clown got clowned on

Yeah, there was like a year or two long campaign by r/sigmarxism to get this guy deplatformed which got to the point that even mentioning his name on multiple Warhammer 40k subreddits was a bannable offense
