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 [email protected]
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
Ian-Miles Cheong and Cadence Owens were both anti-gamergate.
Also, I suspect that there is more than one Hexbearian that was a gamergater back in the day.
I was actually aware that all games journalism is garbage at the age of like 10 because a child can be capable of internalizing that people taking money are going to be extremely charitable reviewing the people giving them money
Turns out when you are fighting over meaningless culture war vidya game bullshit it’s very easy to swap sides since there are no material stakes
Yeah, I mean I was a middle schooler when Gamergate started and I never went harassing people because of it, but I definitely was caught up in Gamergate when it was first going down. It's one of the reasons I'll always love Hbomberguy, because watching his videos was how I ended the youtube algorithm death slide that was Gamergate.
Algorithm death slide is a good phrase, mine ended on the third hour-long unstructured Sargon rant with me going "god this guy is whiny, I'm sick of his voice"
My head hurts now
I was really big into Gamergate for about 45 minutes. Then I looked it up, and it turned out it was just some dude being super pissed off that his ex did The Sex after they broke up.
Anita Sarkeesian for president.
As a bit, Anita Sarkeesian should run on free speech and call herself “Cancel culture’s first victim.”
…because she is. And she has done more for free speech than any CHUD ever will.
