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

I always hated that grey jedi shit. You cannot use your magic powers to hurt people for your own selfish goals just litte a, as a treat. The whole narrative around the force, at least in the better stories, is that the dark side is inherently corrupting - the more you use magic to hurt people to get what you want, the easier it gets to cross that ethical line.
Lucas himself derailed the old thematics of his own franchise when he greenlit the "there is an evil moon and a good moon around a magic planet and the wisest space god decreed that you must have essential evil nutrients or else you get imbalanced" episode of Clone Wars, effectively canonizing "Grey Jedi" bullshit.
This is why it's vital to remember that Maria saved Star Wars in the edit and Lucas didn't even direct Empire or Jedi. Through the magic of fanon and death of the author and contempt for IP law I can just pretend Lucas never said that.
Plus, Lucas was constantly making up new shit and retconning things. I firmly believe he was just making the story up as he went along.
But yeah god I hate the "father son daughter" bullshit. Like why the hell would you even do that? It's so dorky and out of place with the entire rest of the story. ; p
