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

People agree that Alien and Aliens are among the best sci-fi horror movies ever made. I think what those two movies capture (amongst other) is that they are about survival and triumph of human spirit overcoming isolation and hostility of space. Personally I think the 90s kitsch offshoot of this franchise, whether it the games, comics, toys, kinda capture the gist of it. In all, all you need is a tough-as-nail competent protagonist to cheer on, who is stuck in isolated setting and had to fight Xenomorph(s) against all odds. I personally couldn't care less about the black goo and Wayland Enterprise lore as franchise (TM). It doesn't help that Prometheus and Covenant have incompetent doofus crew. Romulus doofus crew can somewhat be justified since they are teenagers, but at that point I already hate everything that has to do with the black goo.
