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

You know, for all the flack Steam gets, at least this is sometimes the controversy that they get.

Same with Nexus getting flack for taking mods of their website because they were indeed offensive to certain minorities.

Nexus does a good job at getting that stuff taken down in a timely manner. I like how the support team doesn't take any shit when people complain about it.

Steam still has straight up nazi shit for sale though. They only get involved when a law is broken.

It’s easy to avoid if you turn off the “adult game” check mark in the store, thankfully. The nazi gamer and gooner seem to have a lot of overlap.

Unfortunately, I still see a lot of porn. Some even hop on over to the Epic Game Store to avoid this, I hear.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s actually a good point in epics favor, they could probably corner the “family friendly” digital storefront if they advertised that.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Frankly? Steam deserves it. Hell, I could use a "family-friendly" digital storefront at this point...

It would be funny to start one and slowly inject more and more commie stuff into the front page.

A “State and Revolution” Visual Novel getting recommended next to the latest Lego franchise game.

Oh, I believe someone made The Communist Manifesto on itch.io (using the text you see in retro video games, for example).

But I'm not sure if someone took it down or not.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s awesome, I need to start exploring itch.io more. Lots of cool indie stuff out there.

There’s a demo on there that’s basically a first person “tonight we riot”

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Oh, I should try that.

And then there's @BeamBrain@hexbear.net's game. I don't have the link on hand, but they'll be willing to give it to you.

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s a good shoutout, supporting comrades artistic endeavors is cool and good.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm trying to support BeamBrain here. I plan to play the game as well, just trying to clear other things first.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I do appreciate it, thank you very much! heart-sickle

Don't forget the neat little communist RPG that comrade @Goadstool@hexbear.net made, which is called Kor

If you check it out and you need any help or advice, let me know!

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you, Prince Goadstool

There's a checkbox in settings to hide over-18 stuff which has worked really well for me.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

That I didn't know. Thanks!
