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

The original series almost gets a pass for being pure fantasy. But then Legend of Korra came out and confirmed basically every suspicion people had about the writers' condescending attitude towards others, especially Asian cultures.
as i understand it LoK wasn't the same writing team, or at least did not include most of the people who worked on the original show
Showrunners were the same at least.
If you watch The Dragon Prince you'll realize that Ehasz wasn't the key either. I don't know what happened to make ATLA good despite its flaws, at this point I think it was pure luck. It was good despite everyone involved being shit lol
They honestly think modernization=become like the usa. They literally made the people opposed to a settler state the villians.
Yeah, it's kind of mindblowing that their solution to colonialism is just "it happened in the past, let's let bygones be bygones and not return the territory to its original owners and let everyone just "live in peace.""
