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

No more cape shit once you hit 30. Do some praxis instead or read a good book.

You call it canon but that's a dumb spinoff thing made up for silly video games. Canon is generally considered to be stuff made up by Toriyama, which even tentatively includes the ridiculous oversexualized Majin Booba character Android 21, but I've never heard of anyone who takes Dragon Ball Online lore seriously lol

I'm sorry to curse you with this knowledge but Toriyama wrote Dragonball Online.

Toei Animation keeps Toriyama chained up in a basement somewhere and they already have several clones of him growing for when he kicks the bucket.

They'll need those clones because the fanbase basically treats "written by Toriyama" as the "this is canon" rule. When he's gone the entire universe will shatter into pieces if it comes from different authors and everyone will endlessly argue over what's real or not forever.

Huh, yeah that's a new one to me. Since even the most committed dragon ball nerds have no interest in including any of that lore.

I've actually played that game so that should tell you what kind of fucking nerd you're dealing with lmao
