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

The pro-sports was always there

The rec-league shit was there as a rhetorical device to build drama and advance the plot. Book 2's use of Quidditch as this insanely dangerous sport that puts you in the hospital was good aktuly.

she didn’t partner with Disney

It was Warner Bros. My mistake.

they never really fought the status quo, just kinda complained sometimes

The first three books were genuinely anti-establishment in character. Book 3, in particular, did a great job of painting the institutional world as cruel, corrupt, incompetent, and plagued by bigotry.

magic never really changed anyone’s gender

The Polyjuice Potion does this on a number of occasions.

Thd books and author sucks but learn what you’re talking about before speaking.
