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

I only know two of the things on here

one of them is an allegory for the environmental destruction wrought by the petroleum industry

and the other is Dark Souls, which is so open to interpretation it's practically a free space

Tbh Dark Souls overarching plot is kinda leftist.

The whole premise is that the ruling class has hoarded what gave them power for thousands of years and manipulate the lower class to literally immolate themselves to keep the system running. Across the series the (arguably) good endings all have something to do with trying end the system.

I don't think there are true good endings in Dark Souls. It's one of those "everything is was and always will be shit all of the time" type dark fantasy worlds. I guess the "painting" ending in DS3 is kinda good tho?

It's not really a wonder very online fascist weirdos are attracted to the series.

Yeah fantasy always attracts weirdos, regardless of its messaging.
