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

Considering how Starship Troopers is a reactionary franchise (yes, it's a franchise and no, one satirical movie doesn't take away the original book, subsequent movies, and spinoff cartoons and games being sincerely reactionary), I don't think the OP should be as smug in their tweet. When you have a single movie that's against fascism but everything else including action figures that goes, "fascism is cool and sexy acktually," then it stops mattering that the one single movie is satirical. It's like how Rambo is jingoistic trash even if the first movie wasn't really jingoistic trash.
