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

It looks like modern America

Wow dude. so did literally every other GTA game

If anything, the world from GTA is more grotesque, ugly and crude than what we see in real life. It's been that way since at least GTA 3. It's an exaggerated caricature of American culture.

But I guess since not all character models are awooga -bait then gaming experience is ruined.

Why are the arms so long!?

Obv so they can securely wrap around any nearby autos and prevent you from thefting them grandly

To hunt shellfish in deep crevices on the rocky shoreline

I saw people complaining about too much booba and that it's making a removed youth

you can't win

their ideology is just being mad at things

Dude can't shoot cops for pretensies, but black women

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

Maybe he can compromise and shoot the black cops

What non racist reason would there be to want to escape the reality of black people existing?

thonk

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There really is no other way around it. You really think there are no poc in Florida? Like that is reality objectively.

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Ron DeSantis has some words about that

[–] MalarchoBidenism@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uhm, I thought people played videogames to escape reality??? But here I am playing a videogame and there's black people in it just like in real life??? What the heck?! My le escapism is ruined! boohoo

Now excuse me while I complain about a different videogame with black people in it, this time because it escapes reality too much by having black people exist in the past, which is historically inaccurate and ruins my immersion smuglord

case closed

I can't believe Rockstar would put gangsters, strip clubs and scantily clad women in my Christian GTA game!!!! frothingfash

spoiler

Though we all know they're upset that there's too many black people and body types that stray too far from typical GTA strippers and sex workers

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Especially in Florida lmao. In my experience 80% of the people depicted in the trailer are pro-Trump, but lie Trump, they just don’t give a shit about how they’re seen by the media cause it’s Florida

[–] Zrc@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

i hate G*mers so fucking much

[–] POKEMONGOTOTHEGULAG@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

Literally the point of GTA is that it is a realistic crime simulator. Go play the heckin Witcherino if you want fantasy.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

Why do conservatives project their media illiteracy and life insecurities onto every player? Not everyone plays to “escape” anything. And even a child who plays Mario can understand that the dinosaur riding a go kart is not reflective of real life no matter how many woke princesses beat them to the finish line.

You can shoot all of them

And they can all shoot back. This is the part of the game Elon can't stand.

Imagine if San Andreas was released today.
