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

What makes you say Harry was a moralist? I don't recall anything that indicates that

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago (2 children)

He's a cop, seems to have believed in being a cop since he handled three times as many cases as his coworkers. All the other cops you meet, including Kim, have moralist beliefs. Like the church. Kim does a quick prayer and Harry has a dim feeling of religious ecstasy when he first enters the church. It's stuff like that. I don't think it's outright stated anywhere, you're right.

Kim is vaguely a moralist but it's not important to him. The Revachol Citizen's Militia has its roots in the old commune. The end of the game shows the leader of the precinct planning another Communist revolution. I don't think these particular cops care about moralism one way or the other, it's just the prevailing system that they work under

Yeah, that's how I interpret moralism in general. No one actually cares that much about it, it's just dominant and has trickled down into people's brains. The people who do care about it are like religious acolytes.

Also Harry's memories of the church have to do with his involvement in a massacre there
