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

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A FUCKING "NINJA SWORD", ninja did not have standardized equipment or tactics or leadership. They were assassins and spies, they would have no use or legal cover story to carry a sword and would be immediately caught.
a KATANA is a SAMURAI SWORD you fucking SWORD PHILLISTINES
why? BECAUSE IT WAS USED EXCLUSIVELY BY SAMURAI
they would EXECUTE YOU for OWNING A SWORD if you were not a samurai
Heck, the samurai would hide next to roads at night and MURDER RANDOM PEASANTS that crossed their path just to TEST THEIR NEW SWORDS
If it didn't kill in 1 stroke, it was a SHIT SWORD
and it was PERFECTLY LEGAL because JUST LIKE EURO KNIGHTS the samurai were WARLORD KILLER MAFIOSOS who survived by PILLAGE AND OPRESSION
you idiot anglos INVENTED the term SAMURAI SWORD because your IDIOT ICE MUTANT MOUTHS can't pronounce something as simple as "KA-TA-NA" so USE YOUR OWN WORDS IDIOT BRITS
There's an interesing book by Serge Mol: "Classical weaponry of Japan", about the weapons of Edo period, when owning of battle weapon, that is sword, bow, spear and firearms was forbidden to everyone but samurai. Out of over hundred different weapons and their variations presented in the book, 90% are hidden weapons, that is weapons easy to conceal and hide, weapons not even looking as weapons, or weapons masqueraded as items you could openly carry (like very long Japanese pipe, but made completely out of metal). Most of those even had dedicated combat techniques which were taught more or less officially at various dojos.
YES its wild how many people think you could just walk around with a sword in the past or just buy them at a shop like in D&D or video games, it varied place to place but a lot of places restricted the open carrying of weapons in towns
Wikipedia...
This would be technically illegal as far as I know but who da fuck is gonna snitch since the victim would die and the samurai aren't gonna turn themselves in. Samurai were allowed to legally strike down peasants who dishonored them but I think they had to argue this in a court. Not that the court would have any reason to side with said peasant, but they at least at the illusion of law and order
The song remains the same.
Lots of people don't know this but before Unsanctioned Sumo changed their name - they had a few angry altercations in/near the clubs they played at. In the worst one - their lead guitarist got punched in the face by an irate guy who said "Where's the fucking sumo? I bought tickets to Unsanctioned Sumo Bouts and you're a fucking indie band?" The guy was wearing a big ring on his punching hand and the guitarist got a tooth cracked. The band changed their name the very next day.
I mean its sun, so all verbiage is subject to clickbait. But let your rage be pure
I know how not funny this is because it's horrifying, oppressive, violent, and awful, but it's like a little funny.
literally treating random innocents the way I treat mobs in Minecraft when I finish enchanting a sword
I've come to terms: it's the degree to which it's so barbaric and unnecessary that makes it funny. It's so cruel that it should be parody.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Ahem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninjat%C5%8D
Anybody who's somebody knows that ninja swords are straight and have square tsubas. Here is HISTORICAL NINJA, Rikimaru from the Tenchu video game series with his ninjatō:
Just ignore this bit please:
