I got nothing for this one except loud internal screaming. 
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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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
You know, I was listening to a recent episode of TMK and they had a guest on who was talking about how the games industry is a multi-billion money making machine with a huge impact on popular culture, and yet is a space where the left hasn't made much headway into, even though there's a lot of potential there.
I mean, Disco Elysium, a game that does not hide its left wing sensibilities at all, is currently the best-reviewed game of all time on Metacritic. How can this not mean that there is an ideological void waiting to be filled? If the games industry were not dominated by a handful of multi-billion dollar companies, I'm sure that gaming could have incredible potential as a medium for leftist thought to flourish. Maybe I'm just being too optimistic here.
I thought that episode of TMK was a very interesting and thought-provoking discussion. The guest's name is Marijam Did, and here's a link to it. I'm about to start reading the book that she wrote on this subject.
A lot of really fucking ignorant treat hogs have already claimed that leftists are stupid for seeing leftism in the subtext because the game doesn't parade communism around as an all-powerful and triumphant ideology.
one of my childhood friends who is super reactionary didn't pick up on the leftist themes at all, and was absolutely shocked when I explained it to him over a beer
idk, I would not be surprised if he had played the fascist route and nothing else in the game
The fascist route goes a lot harder than the communist route; the latter says "you're not going to see communism built (again) in your lifetime and you're a fucking cop but shine on you human disaster diamond" while the former is "this entire ideology is so contradictory and self-destructive that there's no room for anyone to stand in it for long until they're devoured by it."
