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

An ethnic supremacist being banned from a fighting game? Never thought I'd see that

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Smash is surprising. More traditional fighting games have pretty big POC followings

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Nice. I admit I don't know much about the fighting community or even the Smash community other than there being a misogyny problem

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is a huge misogyny problem or really cluster of problems, but most FG communities (Smash included) are very multiracial. There's also obviously a bit of an orientalism issue towards East Asia (varying types based on the country), but overwhelmingly the biggest issue is getting the community away from weird channer types like you see on r / kappa who are terminally pornbrained and think that a female character wearing a skintight one-piece is the woke mob assailing their combat bikinis.

Lol I went to probably dozens of tournaments over years during the peak of /r/kappa and I never saw one of those dorks in person ever.

nobody on kappa was good at the games

The FGC is above average compared with your average g*mer.
