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

This can't be a real comment, right? Surely there isn't a person whose brain is this pickled stalin-stressed

7 live action reboots were fine. How many live action reboots were there? I have to imagine Wishbone wants Uncle Walt to ganondie because there were a minority of stinkers made by Disney. They were stinkers because the producers gave Uncle Walt the black eye. I'm going to hypothesize based on the adjective black and him referring to a woke travesty that Wishbone is upset about minorities and neutered messaging being put into the movie.

They're the kind of person who you'd pity because they probably can't run off into other types of fiction like literature. Even if they did write, it'd likely be derivative without the capacity to build characters with new points of view. One might imagine TTRPGs/DnD might be too complicated for them. They still suffer under capitalism, so it's probably not easy to find people to LARP with and those that have tried get frustrated with Wishbone. They sort of rely on big productions of fiction to fill a void for them. Their sports are probably getting encroached on too. Then, the kicker, is when you want to think of Wishbone as a sympathetic character, they go on to hate women or espouse racism and call it simple authentic backwoods silliness. Wishbone's a prime candidate for a 3 week re-education camp where you feed them MDMA so they'll discover empathy and then teach them to read. Then you send them off with a World of Warcraft novel and a DnD guidebook to live happily ever after.
