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

The game, more inclusive, is sold and fails in sales

[Horizon Zero Dawn] won numerous awards and sold over 24.3 million units by April 2023, making it one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games

Horizon Forbidden West received generally positive reviews from critics, and had sold over 8.4 million units by April 2023

lolwut

Also, the Israel flag and ”Jewish citizen” are extremely :sus: in this context.

Convervatism is the new punk rock, that's why we're complaining that new media promotes hedonism and Satanism just like Bible thumpers did in the 80s and 90s!

The difference is 80’s and 90’s conservatives complained about any sexy images as being pornographic smut. The gamegate types only have an issue with hedonism when it’s someone else’s pleasure. Their pleasure, then they better get big booba waifu 24/7 or else it means they’re being oppressed.

Well you see those sales weren't real but were just fake sales done by the private corporation BlackRock whose investors are for some reason cool with this

morshupls Reactionaries explaining that corporations don't actually follow the profit motive, but are instead loss-leading to push an ideology.

morshupls no you see the corpo actually does make a profit from all the woke sjw pc Karens paying the company money for catering to their frail sensibilities. Why don't these pc-police sjwnpc wokescolds just buy the game instead of paying money to BlackRock to buy games? Because they hate gaems!
