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

this is like a meme made by somebody to make fun of video essays

Brevity is the soul of wit

that's about as long as the runtime of all 4 toy stories combined

I will only watch a YouTube video longer than 3 hours about something for kids that I barely remember if it's made by Quinton Reviews, dammit

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's when I stopped watching Quinton tbh. I'm sure the videos are still decent, but holy shit who actually wants to hear about the Schneiderverse for a collective 20+ hours?

Some of us don't have lives, dear.

Counterpoint: Even when I didn't have a life, I would rather waste my time on something that isn't Dan Schneider

Every year, youtube video essayists figure out how to pack 10% more information in 50% more space.

“Of course, it was all here the whole time!” I say as I’m Sitting watching Toy Story 4 w/ rapt attention and a peg board behind me covered in red string connecting Anita Sarkeesian to the Toy Story franchise

I’ll be honest. I’ve come to appreciate these overly long video essays more. They’re a lot more convenient to play as background noise during slow work days.

Kids today will never know a world free of Toy Story 4, truly innocence lost

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

This is either way too long if it’s arguing that Toy Story 4 went too woke or some shit, or way too short if it’s documenting how Toy Story 4 destroyed absolutely everything in the universe.

The biggest problem with the toy story movies is that Woody has to relearn the same lesson every fuckin movie.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Counterpoint: Toy Story 4 was cute and I enjoyed it edgeworth-smug

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

Now they gotta make an 8 hour response video :/

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 8 months ago

I've seen that thing constantly popping up in my recommendations. I don't have 6 hours to watch someone talk about the worst Toy Story movie. I don't think this is some "anti-woke" thing, rather a big angry video complaining about how they RUINED THE LORE!

Whenever someone talks about how everything is dominated by short-form content, I bring up trends like this
