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

MODERATORS
There are so many of these "barely hiding their fash levels" YouTube commentary accounts. EmpLemon, Oki, Turkey Tom. Those are just off the top of my head.
There are so many "barely hiding their fash levels" in television too. And newspaper media. Wherever there is media and money they're always around.
Honestly actors are an outlier that the right uses to claim television and movies are "liberal" and that outlier seems to be because they were all weird drama/theatre kids.
Admittedly I'd been watching a couple of Turkey Tom's videos recently and definitely got the hidden fash vibes off him. I don't even think it's anything he expressly said, it's just a vibe.
What's wrong with Oki?
I recognize the rest, considering:
Turkey Tom obviously had an anti-SJW stance in his video (eg. his video on a small concert regarding Negative EXP), and
EmpLemon hating on current news entertainment media like Jimmy Kimmel
But what makes Emp Lemon and Oki fash adjacent?
okay yeah googled it and emp lemon just haphazardly throws happy merchant memes into their videos

emp lemon did the classic white dude complaining about the concept of privilege video https://yewtu.be/watch?v=fj1EvAMoTqI
and the mac tonight video last year where they praise the alt-right for making the character unmarketable https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Jp35RSGt_Dg&t=1462
To paraphrase DJ Khaled,
WHO’S “WE”?
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

wait what's wrong with hating on news entertainment media? didn't jimmy kimmel do blackface among a whole other slew of sleazy bigoted shit?
nothing wrong with that in particular, but they used the happy merchant meme in the jimmy kimmel video
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=uLTeMC81FV0&t=547s
also from the same video
"because they genuinely believe that the color of your skin somehow makes you privileged. This toxic belief system is destroying Western civilization and it's seeping into some of the most powerful institutions of society. Some of these liberals certainly belong in an institution."
oh. yeah, that makes sense.
i never liked him to be honest, he has always been such a pessimistic twat about everything. and his video about know your meme where he keeps saying "normie" makes me want to [REDACTED]
