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

Is this sub anti-woke or not?

We aren't an echo chamber mate, we are a collection of individuals, with individual opinions.

I don't know why, but this exchange cracked me up, lmao they seriously talk like this

I can't wrap my head around

my conservative friends watched media I explicitly instructed them not to watch. betrayal!

either this is a bit, or this guy is the among the most insufferably swollen assholes of the world.

You know sometimes I have to admit I feel a bit frustrated about how jaded I am towards so much media now since becoming a leftist. There are days I do kinda wish I could just clap like a seal and enjoy the latest Marvel nonsense without a hint of cynicism.

Shit like this makes me realize how much fucking worse it is on the flip side..and that makes me so fucking happy.

It feels like that sub is somehow degrading. Like it was always evil and always stupid but there's still somehow a sense to me that it's devolved.

Both my ancient-ass Midwestern parents both agreed that Barbie smacked the shit out of Oppenheimer in terms of being the more enjoyable movie, and they really liked Oppy

Sounds like my dude needs a safe space.

...dedicated to fighting the woke-mind virus.

Someone has a mind virus, but it isn't the people he is talking about brainworms

Conseratives have lost the culture war because their culture is fucking garbage. Its just contrarian, "anti-woke" racist, religious shit wrapped in a country music wrapper and garnished with AR-15s. They have no culture worth crossing the street for. It is all about getting off to being an asshole and nothing else. The average person that hasn't spent time in conservative safe spaces and echo chambers is going to be repulsed by their trash at best. It isn't about being fun or welcoming, its about shouting "Fuck you, I'm Alpha." and trying to shame or scare you into being like them. It isn't popular amongst normies and never will be. It flat out makes people feel uncomfortable.

The West has fallen, and Barbie killed it.

All my conservative friends went to go watch Barbie and Oppenheimer

this has to be made up. I don't know anybody who gives a shit about these movies or will see them, regardless of politics. I don't even know anybody who's mad about them.
