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 most egregiously offensive episode has got to be the one with Rosa Parks. Hey kids, did you know the civil rights movement in America wasn't just the combined efforts of poor people organizing to overcome racism? There were also goofy white British people in a magic time machine who came to save everyone. In fact, the Doctor was right there on the bus with Parks.
how does something like that even get written? The writers could have done a show where the Doctor meets Rosa Parks, that could be fine. The Doctor hangs out with historical figures all the time, but the writers couldn't help themselves. They can't just have the Doctor be there, the Doctor has to help. But not help in an actual way like defeat real world threats like the cops or Klansmen, no there's scifi stuff. hey kids did you know the greatest threat to the civil rights movement was actually an evil time travel man from the future
Also that episode was filmed in South Africa which shouldn't matter but it makes me feel weird for some reason.
