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 [email protected]

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

Instance creator in here explaining that if you remove all instances of "piracy" from the meme then it stops being related to piracy. deng stare

I'm just gonna say that Eugene and his ilk are very common in video game communities and I hate them. I remember reading through the a famous FF7 (original) modding forum for a famous translation mod and they would show open contempt for people acquiring the PS1 era game through illicit means. In a modding forum of all places.

But how will the poor indipendent dev Mr. Square Enix eat if you don't purchase his 80 year old game😭 he has a family you know?

Seriously though, it should not even be controversial in society at large to pirate things older than a couple years. Publishers make 90% of their revenue in the first year anyway.
