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

Jigsaw has imprisoned and tortured people for absolutely trivial things.

I'd go so far ad to say he's pretty bad guy

But also he kills the president of an insurance company, kills a group of corrupt bureaucrats and landlords, every cop is portrayed as dumb and corrupt then they get killed.

The movies can’t decide whether individuals or systems are bad

I think they have to present cops as morons because you could catch jigsaw or his sequel killers pretty easy by asking nearby hardware stores who bought out the entire stock of bear traps and chains

it was a welcome change from most other media despite it still being shit

Wanna make it clear I'm not defending Jigsaw. However, Jigsaw has by far the most consistent ideology of everybody shown in this image. Scar, Voldemort, and even Cruella are all simply in power struggles of sorts, and that's their ideology, wanting to be powerful. Jigsaw doesn't need more power in the movies, he's already infinitely more powerful than the people in his traps. But Jigsaw kidnapped a ton of people from a health insurance company for all the deaths they had given other people through austerity. Jigsaw may have an extremely warped moral compass, but he still has a moral compass that is completely separate from being powerful. He wants to punish people who have actually done bad, and I think he'd be pretty pissed over an entire nation of people being genocided.

As a character, separate from my own feelings, Jigsaw is infinitely more likely to side with Hamas.
