The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
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.

i dunno what you mean, men of the west is just english for dunedain. in his conceit of translating the book from the original westron, the toponymy around bree was always meant to have celtic vibes and the rohirrim were always meant to have anglo-saxon vibes.
the dwarves had gothic-sounding names (in english translation) because they took those names from people related to the rohirrim, and since the rohirrim were getting anglo-saxon-coded, these guys got a related gothic-coding.
and there were always nazis who liked the books and liked to read their own shit into it.
