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

It’s even more nonsensical, the character that attempted to prevent the holocaust (Grindelwald) is also implied to be roughly equivalent to wizard Hitler.
One of the side characters confronts some students who are vandalizing something with Grindelwald's insignia. It’s basically framed as a swastika until we learn its actually okay because its an ancient wizard symbol called the deathly hallows and Rowling starts putting them all over her merch.
Grindelwald was also defeated in 1945, which is definitely intentional considering how much of a hack Rowling is.
Also, the supporting character who gets roped into the anti-fascist fascism is a Jewish woman who we’re meant to consider weak for not wanting the Holocaust to happen.
I spent way too much of my childhood on this shit.
This is very true, forgot to specify that part. God what a stupid fucking series.
It’s such a bizarre thing to shoehorn into a children’s series, especially this clumsily.
Not really, Wizard Hitler is just the most evil thing Jowling can imagine - that's why Voldemort was the same. I would not be surprised if the BBEG of Hogwarts Legacy was also Wizard Hitler.
