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

racist-lorry-driver — "Fuck you, falling into a world and just getting lost! No, no, no! Current-fucking-day! You take everything we love — all our immersions, all our fantasies, all our escapism — and you can't help shovel your dogshit, fucking-crap ideology into everything!"

de-half-light — He won't fucking shut up. Knock him out.

de-empathy [Challenging: Success] — The wavering of his voice, the tears dewing in his eyes, the erupting tantrum; he isn't acting like the usual grifters you've seen. He believes this. Video games are the only thing that he has. You can see before you the faded afterimage of a friendless little boy, kneeling alone in a patch of playground grass and clover. He's been this way forever.

de-authority — Don't go soft on a display this pathetic. Make an example out of him. His little computer-buddies need to be too ashamed to agree with him in the open.

I like how how every half-light suggestion is to kill someone like a wild animal or crawl into a corner and cry

My man's complaining about being constantly taken out of the immersion

Oh, is it asking your pronouns every time you enter a new planet? Every time you boot up the game? Every time you're introduced to a new character? Yeah, wow, that's so excessive

Wait, what's that, only during the character creation screen and then never again?

Has your brain been eaten by maggots?

Fun fact: this is what virtue signalling actually looks like.

Whatever Mr Shouty divorced man actually thinks, he's not acting like this because he cares that much about pronouns but for the approval of his garbage audience.

Same deal whenever some chud makes a performatively "aren't I cool" clown face while eating le steak and drinking le whiskey while holding le cigar to trigger the wokes. libs-owned

These are the people we're losing a culture war to.

I don't think that's right, there's been incredible progress in the past ten years on this issue. This is what a privileged class looks like when they're losing.

Losing among average people and corporations. Winning in political institutions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In some places like the UK and part of the US that's true.

Elsewhere, they are losing. It's well known that the AU election was the slam dunk it was because the dumbasses in the Liberal Party (our right wing party) couldn't keep the mask on, and turned off even people with chuddy views on LGBT with their petty cruelty. And I think after Posey was run out of the Antipodes by our NZ comrades, open transphobia isn't a viable political position in either country any more (closed transphobia is of course extremely viable as always)

open transphobia isn't a viable political position

This is true here in the UK also. You can be transphobic, but having it front and center turns people off. The transphobia should be a side-thing, in the background, for the level of priority it deserves. When they put it front and center people get annoyed that it's even cared about much compared to things like why energy bills are through the roof. It makes them look like clowns that care more about cruelty than governing, which is true really.

The issue here in the UK is that they're smart enough to keep it in the background. They make enough noise to tell the bigots they're transphobes but don't make it their whole fucking platform in a way that turns off everyone else. And because everyone else doesn't care that much about it they don't mind that it's in the background.

he got owned by a trans npc later and it fucking rocks. these dudes are so fucking frothy and stupid it's awesome. on the one hand screaming about immersion and treaterinos and on the other hand failing to recognize that any reasonable future society is going to have a lot more options than just gender affirming surgeries and hrt

It always blows my mind how angry capital G Gamers get about games where you very much have the option of playing a cishet guy but can also choose to play as someone different

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the game was absolute dogshit I could see being annoyed by features that seem pointless. If the core of a game is shit, spending money on QoL features for small demographics seems ridiculous. Make solid mod tools and a solid game and it'll get sorted anyway.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

"Small demographics" like... women.

This isn't just for trans people.

Hell even as a cis man I might want to play a woman, and I'd sure not want my immersion broken by other characters calling my female character "he" if I did so. Like its a roleplaying game, its cool to let me play a role.
