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

Saw a comparison posted on the twitter link and anyone who claims thats not a Burzum ref is either a whole fucking circus or spitting in your face with contempt lying.

Copied the font like come on, its the same fucking font and all.

The font is one thing, it's not an original font I'm the first place. Varg probably stole it from Bathory. HOWEVER, add everything else about the image and it is clearly a Burzum reference. Gotta admit 10 years ago this is one of the last things I'd ever guess would happen.

From what I understand, Varg was a fan of Bathory (even ripped off their song Necromancy) so he probably used the font. It clearly is a Burzum reference because no Bathory albums look like that

All of black metal is massively influenced by Barhory, so no surprise there. Plus Bathory are fucking sick. Bathory, ironically had a lot of influence from anarcho punk bands from the UK, their singer says he based his vocals on the dude from Riot//Clone (I don't hear it), but yeah, Bathory wasn't right wing at all and at least one member was at least very influenced by anarchist music, and you don't usually listen to 80s anarcho punk for musical genius (though it's around here and there)
