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.

One of the weirder ones to me is "making female characters ugly", because that one is pretty much always about them giving a female character a lean, athletic build that has been the golden standard for beauty for as long as anyone on Earth has been alive. All of them are of course weird and creepy in that gamer way, but that one is where they are just angry that there are too many polygons.
Not consistently true, not even within living human lifetimes.

It's practically never been the gold standard. Lean athletic women came into fashion in the 80s, then gave away to emaciated waffs in the 90s, and finally buxom anime-shaped cuddle pillows in the '00s.
Before that, the All-Natural Woman of the 70s, the white lady dressed ethnically in the 60s, and the domesticated house servant of the 50s were the trends.
The idea that women should be allowed to do athletics was woke, soy, and leftist right up until the Jazzercise phase of Reagan consumerism swept the nation.
