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.

MODERATORS
Who else tipped their toes into radicalisation by how cringe this backlash and gamergate were? Like I didn’t play videogames for years out of embarrassment for even remotely associated with this.
I went to her channel when this was all going on hoping for some "Kill all men!" lesbian separatism and all I got was "Maybe women in video games should be more dimensional and less 'Booba-ah-Wooga!' for their personality."
Still ended up subbing tho cuz it's decent stuff on an otherwise reactionary platform.
Make lesbians scary again
Same
I still don’t play video games and I live in Palestine

I never made the connection but gamergate probably pushed me left.
Yes, gamergate really helped me to get over my anti-feminist phase. I realised how much of an embarrassing temper tantrum it was when I started to look into it and all the figures promoting it
I don't know if it's similar but it's feels like how alot of tech workers realised Musk was full of shit when he tookover X and entered their domain. The grifters won-over some losers but pushed alot of us to develop a self-awareness that our culture is rotten to the core and we're shit as a product of it.
The very final stage of my path from demsucc and succdem toward actual leftism was during, and in large part because of
gate.
