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

How do fascist weebs even tell their moeblobs apart? Just looks like hair color swaps across their spank bank cliches. libertarian-alert

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A problem I've noticed too. For every good designed character like commiku you have these moeblobs that you cannot tell apart.

This one is the tsundere. Here's the yandere(s) that fight for senpai. This one is the obligatory blank-faced even younger coded one for the especially creepy. Put hair colors in a randomizer and you got a new show! so-true

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good shows will have a lot of head and body shapes, but most of them don't and it's just the hair. IMO the reason so many of them have horns and tails and stuff is to make their silhouette more recognizable without potentially compromising the standard "pretty face" that most otaku demand.

FFXIV did that with Au Ra. They almost looked more interesting, as hinted at by Yugiri wearing a mask for so long, but the weebs got their way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Idk what to tell ya but I recognize them just fine. Left is Kanna from Dragon Maid and right is Satania from Gabriel Dropout.

I guess it'd probably just because I watched them when younger.

Also thrse people would get the fuck beaten out of them for watching "removed littlr girl cartoons" by their peers if they actually interacted with their "southern culture"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's tragic, I was acquainted with a few of these types in high school and they spent all their days floating at the edge of normie cliques, silently rehearsing their fantasies of one day joining the military, instead of just letting go and joining me and the other abberants getting into shouting matches over who had misquoted Futurama.

The other half of the founding fathers who wanted to just do feudalism started a civil war then lost isn't a culture, I'm sorry its just not if your culture dosent have a unified language, geography, religious/cultural and maybe the bare minimum is like 1000 years I don't want to hear about it.

But you know what I'm not even gonna go their as their are problems in defining culture like I just did.. the south dosent have a united BBQ culture let alone a full blown culture so get the fuck out of here. grillman

Both did, it’s just one half wanted Roman style feudalism that hides behind the pretense of designated families competing for limited titles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I always found the states early goverment, you have the liberal striver types but think the French went to far but then you got straight up Roman style slaver who treat their slaves worse then the romans. In my heart of hearts 💕 I believe the American revolution is what happens then a revolution is entirely made up of opportunistic elements, I dont even think they belive it was gonna last as long as it does.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

With all the “new Rome” language part of me thinks you’re right. I’ve seen people talk about it as a bourgeois revolution, so there’s definitely some theory out there that backs up the other point.

confederate anime pretty much guarantees this person has as many bad takes as humanly possible

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ask them about the tiger tank, I’m sure they have unproblematic and accurate takes.

Who's "they?" The vast swath of the eastern seaboard defined by western european immigrants like the Italians and Irish, the "fugeddaboudit" and "BAHSTAHN" guys that everyone thinks of when they think of New England cities? The west coast people known for wine exports, distinctive music and film cultures, drug culture, etc?

Southern culture is now largely defined by hollow rhetoric and hypocrisy. They want to be rednecks with big trucks but they whine about how much they have to tip the food slave who brings their DoorDash order. They talk constantly about Christian values and then indulge in hedonistic lives and go out drinking alcohol to excess and fornicating (which the Bible explicitly says will bar you from entering Heaven volcel-judge )

Country ass anti-cracker-aktion or not, "y'all" was desperately needed for the English language.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is you’se erasure

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Centuries ago English used to have "ye" for the second person plural pronoun, but I guess Anglo culture is fundamentally individualistic and makes even talking about stuff collectively an awkward experience.

berdly-actually "ye" was just a written-shorthand version of "the" until people read it the way it looked retroactively.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes and no. The ye in "ye olde shoppe" was "the" with the "thorn" character which looks kinda like a y if you write it fancy. The ye in "Hear ye, hear ye" was actually said as ye and was the second person plural.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hear Youse or hear y'all sound odd still

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I know it's more complicated than that especially because centuries of "ye" said as "yeeee" established a new precedent anyway.

I just wanted an excuse to use the berdly-actually emoji.

I live innawoods, my car is splattered with mud from getting it out of my driveway when it rained. Many of my friends growing up were deeply impoverished (rusty-ass trampolines, sun-bleached toys strewn over the yard, "ignore Uncle Jim, he won't talk, he's playin his online poker", wife-beating happening in the other room stuff) and I had to go to all their horrible evangelical grifter churches when I slept over on Saturdays.

My point is that I'm just as if not more "southern" than the dorks like this guy and I'm a communist or some shit LMAO OWNED

Distinct recognizable culture such as slavery?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Distinctly recognizable culture such as poverty merch and a Schizophrenic sense of patriotism.

America is just a very large cargo cult.

The only problem with this is that white southern culture sucks balls.
