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

Who has the time to do this for 1,427 games?

Team Fortress 2 | Recommended | Contains no Hippie content.

hold on, let me go check the tumbler tags for TF2

Portal | Recommended | Contains no Hippie content.

ok, sure whatever

Portal 2 | Informational | Contains subtly anti-patriarchy messaging. All male characters are portrayed negatively and as less competent than the female characters.

Do they think anti-capitalism isn't woke or are they this oblivious to satire?

[–] ryepunk@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

These people have literally zero media literacy. If the subtext isn't directly in the text (and even then they still have even odds to miss it) then they will whiff on it get mad over some arbitrary woman or black person numbers within the game rather than what characters within the game actually do.

I'm pretty sure Doom 2016 won't be on the list because fun dumb shooty game, when it's got an obviously anti-capitalist message right there, with evil billionaire turns himself into a robot while getting the planet hooked on hell energy so earth doesn't go without it's treats.

Silly, Aperture getting those sweet sweet military contracts is just world-building.

Fake Gamer, Demoman is political!

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

I saw a drawing of medic putting his fingers in scouts mouth, so yeah, I think politics may be happening

Heavy social commentary regarding communism. Whether pro or anti is unclear.

Behold, American media literacy!

ctrl+F

no minecraft

no warcraft

no starcraft

no genshin

no honkai

no nekopara

Filthy. Fucking. Casuals.

Anyways, pretty grim outlook for anyone who gets mad at even the bare minimum gestures towards DEI in AAA video games.

[–] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

They didn't include honkai because the demographic this list is made for is already teeming with honkies.

Purble Place isn't on the list, chat is it woke?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 11 months ago

Holy shit what a dork ass losers

"An NPC in Whiterun asks you whether the sight of a strong Nord woman offends you"
"Contains subtly pro-climate action messaging" - they wrote this about FFVII, the game which starts by you blowing up the reactor. I have to ask, if that is subtle, what they would consider radical pro-climate action?
"fight off a wave of nazis"

And so on and on and on

This is a bit. This has to be a bit. No. I refuse to believe this is real. I will lose my fucking mind. (He is fully offended by the sight of a Strong Nord Woman, Lady Olfina Gray-Mane, whom you can't marry unfortunately).

True. Now get in the Gender Swap Coffin. You can't be allowed to change your gender even in a fucking completely fictional and fantasy universe like the one of Dark Souls. This is the level of transphobic fanaticism they're in lol.

"Subtle pro-transhumanist messaging" falls very short lmao. The best colonists in Rimworld are literally those who have bionic eyes, arms, legs, and are almost always high on combat-enhancing drugs and so on. Yeah, subtle my ass lol. Also it does not mention cannibalism, slavery or organ harvesting (to which you can organize entire cults and colonies around of), I guess these things are cool and good for the turbochristian non wokes and much less important than uh.. they/thems and bisexuals lmao.

Dude is literally saying colonialism is good.

I'm calling it now. When STALKER 2 releases they'll add it to the list as a woke game because it has at least one confirmed black character (They will say there are no blacks in Ukraine) and it'll probably contain a few women stalkers too (there are no women in any of the STALKER games thus far for reasons unknown)

Awesome list tbh, let them not enjoy anything ever, let them live a life of anger and insecurity. It helps us in the long run.

If there's a massive boycott of Rimworld due to making it on the chud loser spreadsheet manifesto, my sides will exit the solar system.

Same goes for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
