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.
I think it's inherently a bad thing to he obsessed with pop media and nothing else. Fanboys of corporations are a plague and should be dealt with ruthlessly.
Nintendo fanboys, Disney adults etc.
The only people I see who don't like the "slop memes" are people who are usually too into pop media themselves.
And I think that is a bad take, and I base that on the frequent complaints about that take in autistic spaces. I literally haven't seen a Marvel movie, I listen to theory as audiobooks while I'm at work, my position is based on the awful shit that gets done to autistics to "correct" this supposedly bad behavior.
If one wanted to criticize the internalization of bad ideas in mass media, like "US are the world police and that is good" then sure, but media as a reflection of moral chatacter is some 19th century "everything has to quote Shakespeare because intellectuals read Shakespeare" shit.
I have nothing against neurodivergent people. Almost all the dudes I'm talking about are neurotypical men with too much money and apathy
All of my interests are comically niche. It just rubs me the wrong way.
This is altogether an assumption. Everyone I’ve seen criticize the meme has had literally no attachment to pop culture, and have stated so themselves.
