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

This is an incredibly bleak view of writing.

Like, that prose exists as an obstacle to understanding the story instead of being part of it and that you can optimise a story into a Wikipedia-ass summary.

All the meaning of a work burnt away for something with all the dryness of an CRPG battle-log.

Jason strikes a harpy

Critical hit! 20 hp damage

Harpy is defeated

70 exp is distributed to the party

70 exp were acquired by Jeff, they will eventually trickle down to the rest of the party

Because the rest of the party gives Jeff the wall in exchange for his exp?

Mutiny mechanics in CRPGs would be pretty interesting unironically
