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

MODERATORS
People literally do. Have you seen sports fans or movie buffs? This is frankly just an absurd take.
Movie buffs aren't likely to hard-r me and start making "day of the rope" threats just for my liking a movie they find contemptible, or believing that women AREN'T second-class kitchen appliances; and the kinds of football hooligans who act like Gamer™ crackers do don't exist in Occupied Turtle Island yet. So for now, I'm going to keep shitting on invertebrate settler Gamer™ trash as the scumfucks they are.
Lmao Yeah. American sports fan never engage in racist harassment or violence. Sure.
That's not what I said. I said it's levels to this shit, and Amerikan sports fans are not on the level of football hooliganism yet. When you've got kickers, tight ends, goalies, or point guards literally walking off their respective fields of play because an entire half the stadium is making monkey noises at them, then you'll have a point there. But til then, it's still levels to this shit, and the crackers are not there yet.
That is some absolute goal post moving nonsense. The claims made so far have been two
1:Gamers are exceptional because they are the only ones who define themselves by media consumption. This is naked bullshit
2:Gamers are uniquely reactionary and racist. And that's plainly fucking nonsense when sports fans exist.
Now you chime in with the caveat that sure sports fans might do that, but European sports fans are worse than American ones, to which the answer is... so? They still suck. They'll still form an impromptu cracker race riot because they lost or won.
"Filmbros" and sports guys have the same negative reputation. At least with film bros film analysis is an intellectual pursuit and an established academic field. Gamers' critic of games are usually just them whining about the amount of polygons some virtual boobs have.
