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

I saw a guy with a pepe avatar gripe about something called Sweet Baby Inc on a video about the live service Suicide Squad game and googled it to find people complaining about them on places like NeoGaf and the AsmonGold subreddit

Expect to hear endless conspiracy theories about this consultancy firm along old favourites like BlackRock

I’m glad someone finally figured out the problem with the Suicide Squad game

I guess this is the redesign? (Spoiler for the Arkham series I guess.)

I don't particularly like it, but I don't at all see what it has to do with DEI. They took a green skinned white coded (idk if that's the right term considering she actually was white before becoming Poison Ivy) woman and made her a greenish yellow skinned white coded girl.

Edit: looking through the comments on that video it seems like it's about Harley asking if child Ivy remembered their relationship. Because that definitely means she was trying to groom her... And I guess that's DEI because of course all the wokes are p*dos. And/or they think she looks like Greta Thunberg? Because nothing says DEI like a white Swede.

I think it's because she's not available as a lust object anymore. I'm sure they'd also hate her current look in her solo comic (where she wears gardening coveralls most of the time).

The thing that's clearly sticking in their craw is that Poison Ivy used to be a mostly naked seductive plant babe in the standard sexy female villain mould

This version of the character has the awooga aspects completely removed which they're blaming on a cabal of feminists who have declared jihad against nerd boners because most big AAA games have also reworked their approach to female characters to be less horny and ogley in the last decade
