The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
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.

"Ren faire used to be cool but now it's woke" is like 2 degrees away of saying that about Pride. One thing I've genuinely liked about comic conventions and and ren faires is that it always felt like a safe space for the queer community. This is just straight up nonsense.
Me with Dungeons and Dragons. When I first met a aggressively homphobic DnD player, I was generally shocked they existed. My queer, DnD, and kink groups were just short of being represented as a single-circle Venn diagram.
In my longest running DnD group, I was the only straight person. I'm getting ready to start a new group and I think it's closer to a 50/50 split. My wife and her friend are both bi but I donno about the dm or the other 2(?) players.
They already say that about pride, don't they? They don't say it is "woke" but basically say that pride was "better" when it wasn't about all that gay stuff.
Most of the people I play tabletop with are gay, trans, bi..some or whom I met at a convention. This tracks.
I mentioned my longtime DnD group in the other comment. I was the only straight person. But I've played DnD with bi, gay, lesbian, trans, and even furries lol. We only turned away one person that was part of a sort of open relationship quasi poly thing a gay couple we are longtime friends with because he started hitting on my wife both in and out of character.
