I think MGRR is weirder. I can at least see how Caesar might fool someone into thinking he's not a criticism of their ideology (helps that I have a close friend who's leftist but thinks Caesar is preferable to the NCR an House).

But I can't IMAGINE looking at fucking Senator Armstrong being like "literally me" and not realizing he's a parody of your shitty ideology.

lol thinking any Metal Gear is friendly to the far right...

Basically a case study in how parody from the left must be cartoonish and expository lest it be misinterpreted by mainstream Westerners.

I always end out going Yes Man cause I can fucking solo all thee armies in their entirety at once without using a stimpak by endgame. I decide who lives and who dies in the wasteland. Stands to reason that I'm in fucking charge.

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
