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

Don't know most of these but: aren't Dark Souls, FO:NV, and MG:R stereotypical eggy transfemme games?
A ton of people in the replies were telling them they might be trans lol.
Chuds liking fallout is proof no amount of subtext is enough for some people. You have to explicitly bash people over the head with your intended message if you dont want people to interpret it as exactly the opposite.
Fallout 3 has a 100 foot tall robot made by the US government that shoots lasers out of its eyes while screaming "I hate communism". A group of rogue soldiers with a technology fetish managed to take over this robot in a dramatic scene where said 100 foot tall robot stomps through the streets of the nuclear blasted ruins of Washington D.C. fighting off the remains of the federal government. Chuds unironically love liberty prime anyway. There is no bashing over the heads blatant enough for these people
I always liked how it says "death is preferable to communism" in a fucked up dead wasteland. Like, really? I think I'd take the communism over having my dick melt off because a nuclear automobile blew up during a gun fight over a can of chef boyardee.
Chuds couldn't read subtext if it was tattooed to their retinas.
plus MG:R pretty explicitly has the protagonist fighting against the US government and global imperialism. The first mission is trying to prevent a left of center African head of state from being assassinated!
Only a true patriot would fight the DEEEEEEEP STATE!
The final boss literally talks about making America great again (pre-Trump, no less). I guess they just go "haha the wrong side won".
