The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
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.

If there’s one thing I think leftists are kind of good at, is that we tend to hatewatch things a LOT less.
Look at Velma, it attracted loads of fascists who hatewatched a show that DARED to make the usual potshots they make at minorities right back at white men. We weren’t all rushing to see Mr. Birchum just to hatewatch it. We learned our lesson from stonetoss.
Now, the few times I see any leftists discussing CHUD media is if it’s decades old and we’re examining it to understand CHUD psychology. Like a copy of Mein Kampf but full of historians pointing out when Hitler is bullshitting the reader.
Morbius flopping twice is a good example of how hatewatching like this is exclusively a chud phenonmenon.
It was way more fun to make Morbin' Time jokes than to actually watch the damn thing.
I haven't seen that movie and the amount of memes over it made me question what was even real. The early use of deepfakes to turn the memes into realistic looking edits didn't help.
Like I don't know if Jared Leto actually said "It's morbin' time!" because I've seen clips of him using that line before morbing all over the place and killing 20 goons or whatever.
Tbf dunk_tank and by extension this comm are both basically hatewatching for social media posts. I'm not making a value judgment on that (I mod dunk_tank lol) but leftists absolutely have the same proclivity for ragebait, I think most terminally online people do, we're just not as publicly frothing as reactionaries are because leftists generally don't try to make careers/money off it
Dunking on shitty tweets from shitty people is like 90% of The_Dunk_Tank by volume (I should know, I contribute a lot of it). I think that's still easier to do and less exhausting per item than hatewatching an entire movie or show.
At this point being on twitter has to count as hatewatch
Ahh, that’s a better assessment imo.
after all.
In order to stay pure, our hatred requires only for us to continuously bear witness to the capitalist class brutalizing nature and destroying endless lives in pursuit of greed.
Chuds aren't principled, they are very frivolous in their hatred. If they didn't constantly doomscroll 4chan and twitter while sinking progressively deeper into reactionary black holes within the youtube algorithm, they'd very quickly forget who they're even supposed to hate and why.
Facts. I don’t need to hatewatch anything. I’m forced to hatelive this life in hellworld every day.
Chud propaganda is like those negative-space pictures, it traces a perfect outline of capitalism by telling them to hate anything and everything except capitalism.
It's called the immortal science for a reason. I'm jealous chuds have to go out of their way to find material they hate/get offended by. You can't consume any media in the English-speaking world without being exposed to capitalist brainworms. I wish my Spanish was better or that I spoke Korean and Mandarin so I could watch commie movies 😞
I tried to hatewatch Velma, but I got tired and stopped.
Unlike Gambo or even Richard and Mortimer, there was no monolithic cultural pressure that kept re-exposing me to the product, so I saved myself the trouble and stopped paying any attention to the Velma trash until the Velma trash-maker declared that
was Khaleesi(tm). I got the context and I cringed into next week.
