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

He claims what he is proposing is "less morally questionable" yet in the very next line he states he wants something "truly horrible" and "evil itself." ![morshupls](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/c02af2c2-f4a1-4d6e-bf78-2e0565dc10ca.gif "emoji morshupls")

You have to imagine the person who is still into Star Citizen is just the worst person imaginable

They got like half a billion dollars, or a billion dollars, in funding. The people who are invested in this game enough to use the forums are likely sex cultist pedophiles in Silicon Valley or “cultural critics” or “philosophers” who post about how scary it would be if Siri came to life and went on a murder rampage

who post about how scary it would be if Siri came to life and went on a murder rampage

They want a godlike slave to obey their every whim and the pathology of that contradiction is like a metaphor for capitalism: they crave the adoration and worship of they who by all rights should destroy them. ![sicko-fem](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/94ce7c13-672a-4963-966b-0f9632ca3a53.png "emoji sicko-fem") ![porky-point](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/fd79f70f-d548-4165-8974-98ca77b62351.png "emoji porky-point")

It seemed like it could've been cool like 20 years ago

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

That cool thing about 20 years ago was Freelancer, and Freelancer only came out because Chris Roberts was kicked off the project because of micromanaging bumbling and scope creep. Like Star Citizen that came after.
