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

Lara is wearing somewhat sensible clothing for the tasks she is performing. Oh wait no she needs to be tank top booba short shorts fighting a bear made of 3 triangles sorry
No it is a signal that she is a GIRLKISSER who wants to have SESBIAN LEX
She's literally as gay as Elster from Signalis
At least she's fighting for a good cause. To destroy the wrong shaped bears.
went and actually watched the video because I wanted to be angry I guess. Literally just a thinly veiled excuse to hate women who don't perform femininity for men. Like, she keeps saying how this lara looks terrible because she doesn't have a full feminine figure. Like, why is that what you value miss lady? You won't enjoy being a doll for shitty men in 15 years when they stop being attracted to you.
Any woman who does not base her womanhood around sisterhood is a danger to everyone around them.
Edit: I went through her video history and its super clear that she took a drop in viewership the moment she started dyeing her hair. She has devoted her youtube channel to enforcing patriarchy's discipline upon the free expression of women and queer people. The moment she made the slightest step into her own self expression the leopards started eating her face.
Also she has the charisma of a cardboard cutout. She made so much room for patriarchy she forgot to make room for herself.
The irony is, she’s got a pretty similar figure to the Netflix version of Croft there, she puts a long sleeve button up on, bam, pretty much the same but gothy-er
None of these women understand that the men they cater to actually want to reinstate pants laws.
Is the woman on the right wearing pants? Because she's basically wearing that outfit if so.
Am I crazy? I can't tell if the woman on the right is the video creator or another example of "generic lesbian design".
Similar accessories with the necklace and choker, too. I'm losing my mind - she's virtually dressed the same if she throws on a jacket
Just checked. It's the woman from the video. And she has a life-size Lara Croft statue in the corner of the room next to a fake giant stick of butter for some reason. Also getting some weird accent of her like French Canadian or Israeli. It sucks either way. Oh, she's doin' bible streams too. She suuuuucks.
lol, she's on the "Carnivore" diet and droppin' slurs. Nerd-fascist loser.
Isn't Lara Croft canonically lesbian?
they super heavily implied it in the 2013 reboot but never made it explicit iirc
"The masculine dress," she repeated, as if not quite comprehending my meaning. "Do you mean my dress?"
"Why, yes; it is a man's dress I suppose, is it not?"
"Why any more than a woman's?" she answered rather blankly. "Ah, yes, I actually forgot for a moment whom I was talking to. I see; so it was considered a man's dress in your day, when the women masqueraded as mermaids. You may think me stupid not to catch your idea more quickly, but I told you I was dull at history. It is now two full generations since women as well as men have worn this dress, and the idea of associating it with men more than women would occur to no one but a professor of history. It strikes us merely as the only natural and convenient solution of the dress necessity, which is essentially the same for both sexes, since their bodily conformation is on the same general lines."

Gamers are more conservative than the fucking 19th century settler socialists 💀
Lmao calling the deranged bigot a "Professor of history" hahaha
They’re upset that she’s too masculine for… wearing clothes to stay warm, but not because she’s a globetrotting adventurer who fights men, knows bush craft, and can parkour and use weapons 
Almost certainly because, while they don't have women in their lives globetrotting, fighting men, bushcrafting, and parkouring, they've all been aggrieved by a women who wore clothes they didn't like
Are the straights okay
We are not. Send help
We're here for you. Just listen to the queers and do what we say and you'll be okay
Hell yea, I never defy the gays*. Part of why I love living in San Francisco. I await further instructions!
(* nor anyone else in the community, phrasing chosen merely for comedic effect)
No it's okay, the transgender cabal is truly in control of the gays, no clarification required
We wield our power with an army of Blahaj.
those clothes are gay because they're worn by and belong to a gay (or bi? sam seemed bi but there's like five different versions of lara) character 
Yes it is
Yes (good thing)
Nuclear hot take: she does not have that shit on fr. I don't know about about the gender policing (I do and it's bad) but new Lara had some pretty dank wintery outfits
If you're going to explore and glorify what you've done with the franchise, why not have the protagonist drippy as hell the entire time?
damn she going full neanderthal there, good for her
Is this made by the Castlevania people? Cause it kinda looks like it and that show has been the pansexually horny action trash I've needed in my life and it gave an NES game a show without going off the established rails at all. I've never played a tomb raider but if they get it as right as Castlevania it'll have something for everyone to be aroused by.
Treffy, Sypha, and Alucard are the best bi polycule (big rip to those assassins from earlier, but Alucard was due for another sadboy arc)
Here's hoping Tomb Raider and the DMC show can live up to the levels of my trash that Castlevania exhibited.
It is absolutely perfect trash to represent the game series. I'm a huge fan of the games until 20 years ago or so when it all went to shit, castlevania 3 is one of my favorite games (play the Japanese version, in an odd inverse it's the more fair version and is a bit easier than the first game, the classic collection includes.it if you switch the language to Japanese) and aside from no Grant, they really stuck to cannon while expanding only three blank spots. New season was cool with the few.ch revolution but I do miss Dracula.
idk but it should be because i like when women are gay then i can kiss them if they want me to women are great i love women i should be one still cis tho wait im not this is great i love women and being women gender
what were we talking about again
Only if you do it.
it's the belt buckle. sorry but that's a male buckle, i didn't make the rules
It's a Netflix adaptation so odds are it's going to be terrible for a lot worse reasons
I was going to make a joke about how they decided to take out Lara'a character development, but then I realized she really doesn't have any.
I don't see flannel and jorts
