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

Alright, let's start a struggle session:

Was Maruki right?spoiler
I still haven't played the Royal ending, but I think I'm far enough in NG+ to guess - is he just doing the "I'm going to make everyone a big blob" anime plot?spoiler
Hahaha, pretty much that's what it gets reduced to. They foreshadow it even. He steps in as a substitute teacher on one of the days, and his bit is on ''totalitarianism''. So they're already doing the anticom stuff of saying everyone will be the same, use the same toothbrush, be conformists, etc. So when you finally see what he's up to, you're primed to think that his solution is just turning everybody into that caricature.spoiler
It's always the same anime plot lolI remember the bit you're talking about - he asks something like "what's the difference between authoritarianism and totalitarianism" and the right answer is something like "totalitarianism involves control of public discourse" or something like that
