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

Pretending to enjoy the Dead or Alive volleyball games to own the libs.
"It has sexualized women in it, therefor it is conservative." Seems almost contradictory? I know chuds love sexualized women in games but dont they also want tradwives that cover up? They're so inconsistent about this.
Also Ive actually heard the lastest DOA Extreme is actually kind of a fun game when you focus on just the volleyball lol.
It's consistent if you consider that what they want is ownership and control over the sexuality of women. A real life woman needs to be covered up to deny her any sexual autonomy, but digital waifus that you have 100% control over? They better be as close to naked as possible.
There's a distinction to be made between "sexualized women" and just, like, sexual women I guess. Plenty of women enjoy feeling sexy, being sexually desired and making their sexuality a big part of their identity. That's not a sexualized person, and a fictional character who is like that is not "sexualized".
"Sexualized" means that the sexual aspects were imposed onto a character or person who does not see themselves the same way and does not want to present themselves like that, purely for the gratification of (usually male) onlookers. It's about agency and self-determination.
Chuds hate it when women have agency over their own sexuality, they hate it that women can make money off of onlyfans or bikini streams on twitch, that they can use their sexuality for their own benefit. They hate "promiscuous" women, women with active sex lives and women who like to wear short skirts in public. But only when they can't control it. They love when Andrew Tate pimps out women for his own benefit, they love their harem fantasies and when women are reduced to their sexuality by outside forces. They are very consistent in that regard, actually.
I've never played them, but from what I've heard the earlier games were limited in content and not that much fun to actually play. The amount of
would be too much for me even if the later games are actually good.
