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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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
It should also be noted that during this time, lots of other areas of culture were cleaning up their acts and getting rid of a lot of this immature booby-ogling content. Gaming was the last holdout since it had a large proportion of its fanbase as nerdy shut ins and an overwhelming male majority (due to women generally avoiding the gross gaming culture of the time). Hence, a lot of gamers felt like they were losing a culture war and had to make their final stand for boobies. That’s where a lot of the gamergate persecution complex came from, they thought “this is the one remaining space we can still act this way, why can’t they be happy having everything else”
Yeah, it isn't just about weirdos wanting to jerk off to polygonal boobies, but about the cultural values those polygonal boobies represent to those weirdos
