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

I don't think Jigsaw ever targeted kids. I do remember one kid being involved in Jigsaw's "games" but not in a way that put him in any danger.

Nah he repeatedly puts kids in danger as a means to motivate adult subjects. In Saw, Jigsaw forced Zep to tie up Gordon’s wife and child and threatened to kill them if Gordon failed his test. In Saw II, which is what I think you’re referencing, it’s true Jigsaw intended for Eric’s son, who was placed into the game, to survive, but not putting him in any danger is a stretch considering the door trap at the beginning which he could just as easily have fell for and the fact that he could have been killed by Xavier. Saw III has the clearest case proving this wrong where it’s revealed at the end of the movie that Jeff’s daughter was kidnapped by Jigsaw and hidden in a room running out of air, with Jeff having to win another “game” to save her.

I thought some of them were like late teens but I haven't seen half the movies and I don't remember the others that well either.
