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

What's the name for that trope, where a black character will be written into fiction for the sole purpose of helping the white protagonist (usually by acting as the author's mouthpiece)?

This woman seems to've melded her very being with it.

She was one of the people who made a movie like Green Book a box office hit in 2019

I liked Green Mile even if it reeks of that trope

Edit: lmao I read that entirely wrong. I read Green Mile and not Green Book. Yeah, Green Book was god awful.

Favorite movie is probably The Green Mile.
