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

In (some of) our defence the first few books appeared to be setting up for some good criticisms - they weren't resolved in the books they first appeared in, but they were highlighted in such a way it seemed to be drawing attention to real life injustices through the lens of a magical society.
But then they weren't resolved at all. The Weasley's poverty, the literal slavery, the systemic legal problems like a fucking soul eating prison - they wasn't going to be a real commentary, it was just showing off the features of the setting. And by that time we'd wasted our money on 4 or 5 books.
Launch anyone who bought the movies into the sun though.
No more half measures, Walter.
Everyone. Sun. No exceptions.
