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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

MODERATORS
He doesn't even have the excuse of 40k fans, where the writers have forgotten that the setting is supposed to be satire.
I've heard Larry the cable guy doesn't actually talk like that, ot at least he didn't. It was just a character he played as part of his stand up that eventually he got trapped in because that's what people expected. Same for Cheech Marin to a lesser degree. I think that's kinda what happened to 40k.
Like Dan Abnett absolutely understands the satirical nature of the world he's populating but he has to give people bolter porn and imperial apologia because that's what they expect. It has gotten better in recent years and hopefully the fans will catch up eventually
The artists writing a story about the technological decline of mankind from a star-spanning civilization to a theocratic fascist empire accidentally making life imitate art.
