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

also bodies are not inherently sexual like a woman just standing around in a bathing suit is not an inherently sexual thing
twerking is only sexual in the mind of the observer
twerking is only sexual in the mind of the observer
Ikr, twerking is clearly a dialectic
twerking has as many roots in traditional african dance as it does in the club and is something that arose primarily among black women
its overly sexualization is a result of patriarchy and white supremacy twisting a dance that black woman who are comfortable in their bodies are doing to try and play into the racist and sexist stereotypes of the "aggressively sexual" black woman
this is my understanding of the issue from the black feminist point of view that ive read but maybe everyone disagrees with that i dunno
It's no more sexual than ballet, which is to say quite a bit but there doesn't have to be.
"Someone call the deparment of transportation on this dumptruck👀" Is the caption under that. You aren't technically wrong. None of this had to be sexual and shouldn't be inherently sexual but you are giving Rockstar way to much of a benefit of doubt.
True but Rockstar put that woman in a bikini in a male gazey way intentionally to draw sex sells eyes so I think that in this case that doesn't apply. (the twerking is a reference to a real life incident, the trailer is full of refrences to "florida man" type incidents).
i dunno i just see a woman in a bikini it really doesnt come across as sexualized at all like im really not seeing it so either im completely wrong on this one or everyone in this sub is objectifying this character and telling on themselves
edit: maybe being a florida man himself who has been to south beach plenty of times its just so tame and normalized to sofla beach culture which has the ocassional women in a micro bikini so small it barely covers the vaginal opening and areolas... ill let yall google pics "south beach micro bikini" if you want to know what i mean
You're objectively wrong. Unless you've never played GTA before, how can you seriously suggest a bikini model in a GTA game is anything but not sexualized? The shots of the women walking around on the beach or raving are not sexual because they're just existing (though maybe that'll change once we hear the dialogue), but the ones in the screenshots are twerking and posing seductively. And if you seriously think twerking is not sexual, especially in the US, then you're probably going to suggest that the strip club in the trailer is not sexual either. And yes, we are objectifying the character because that's literally the point since the beginning of GTA. Just because you don't feel anything when you see the girl doesn't change the nature of the game. I feel nothing when I see Marilyn Monroe, so that means she wasn't sexualized, right?

I googled them, and they don't seem that much smaller than string bikinis from the 80s and 90s. What am I missing? People are being driven wild with lust by this.....???
im just saying that the bikini in the trailer is very tame, normal and not sexualized
the pose is just her looking at the sky shes not leaning forward and pushing out her chest or squeezing her breasts together or something ridiculous she like just standing there, i dunno i really truly dont see the sexualization here it jsut seems so mundane and normal
look at it this way, what would be a non sexual way for her to stand? like should she slump and look depressed? should she cover her body? i dont think a woman needs to be covered or stand in such a way that she seems to be shy of her body in order to be nonsexual she can like, i dunno, just be and wear what she wants and thats fine but maybe im wrong
But it's GTA, so women are inherently sexual in the game.
The multiplayer definitely is. But these people wouldn't call for an end of COD because kids play it, but because they might become woke from all the female soldiers committing war crimes (they don't have a problem with that last part)
I wonder who his audience is now. He went on Infowars and saw how much the right hates him, but a post like this would only appeal to them and would alienate everyone else including groypers. Hinkle has been fully reduced to begging other kids on the playground to dare him to eat a worm.
2.2 million followers so whatever he's doing he's figured something out.
with these grifters i always wonder how much of that is organic engagement and how many are just bots paid for by whatever right wing think tank came up with the idea that fake nazbols are the best way to wreck the left
Honestly I think that strategy is working at least on twitter. Ive mentioned it frequently before but there's so many socially reactionary Hazite "MLs" on twitter, and the social progressive leftists on there feel driven to Ultraism to not be like those people.
i've been thinking the same thing lately. it's primarily designed to stop growth of ML thought/interest among younger people by making it seem virulently socially conservative and drive a wedge around a growing but confused leftist movement
so first of all most of those are not human beings. this is exactly the type of guy to pay for followers.
The first clause is true even if the followers were not paid for
I sort of wonder if the ragebait factor (Pure spectacle?) carries with guys like him, but that doesn't explain the weird armies of really persistent name-searching infrared globe avatar guys
Either some org like ADL paid him off to start blatantly conflating Judaism and Zionism in a transparently antisemetic manner or he's just got the "stooge for the ruling class" brainworms so baked into him that he's doing it on his own
Grand theft auto was never for children, I'm pretty sure it's always been an R18 rated game.
Do not ask the gamestop guy circa 2001 if he sold me GTA Vice City when I was clearly under 17.
I distinctly remember buying the game Mercenaries as a kid because people said it was a GTA clone, I wasn't allowed to buy GTA, and a game where you kill thousands of North Koreans is only T for Teen.
Cartoon boobs make it M for mature but shooting soldiers in the head is good for growing boys.
also do not go to 2001 and ask certain people certain other questions
I thought most capital G Gamers were in favor of sexualizing women in games?
There's two camps on the reactionary right, those that hyper-sexualize women and see them as fuck toys which a lot of capital G G*mers fall into and then there's the "trad" camp, which hosts dipshits like Hinkle who want women to be docile and demure (but still be fuck dolls in private).
spoiler
They are actually the same camp
Pretty much but I can still see them squabbling amongst themselves over the "right" amount of hatred and control to put on women.
lolbertarians vs. tradbozos
I hate this fucking guy
this is the first I'm learning about this person and is this just like a funny har-har joke the state department is pulling or what
how is this guy real? "MAGA communism" like yeah dude I'm really into Marxism-Chudism what the fuck are you even talking about man
He is absolutely being paid by Rockstar Games.
Game rated M and the ESRB suggests 17+, most kids have to get money from their parents to buy it: STOP MAKING THIS GAME FOR CHILDREN
WTF
"Why are the ROOTLESS COSMOPOLITANS releasing their UNARYAN artistic perversion upon the whit...I mean Children of AMERICAN PATRIOTS."
God I hate this timeline. My Arab friends of all religions are terrified and heartbroken. My anti-Zionist Jewish friends are scared and hopeless and constantly defending themselves.The fash are using it to attack both. Often the same fash will attack Jews and Palestinians, using opposite arguments.
One day there will be a fucking reckoning for this, god willing.
Remember this guy being boosted all aver during the early days of the most recent bombardment of Gaza as some kind of anti-Zionist. Of course he is a nazi who just hates Jews, but I guess he is trying to keep his newfound niche of using Zionist as a euphemism for Jew.
i think he's doing a bit, but for the life of me i can't figure out what he thinks it is. is it supposed to be a dunk on antizionists? does he think the new Treat is too Woke for some other reason so he's trying to trick the loony left into attacking Our Favorite Game? Is he just trying to get attention by saying something that will get the greatest number of people to call him an idiot (this one is the most likely)? Their brains are so fucking warped.
cheese for brain
Hey, that's a catchy nickname!
Just-say-Jews-Jackson
There's a sickly sweet taste like rotten fruit to calling out disgusting zionist behavior only for it to be some dumb shit where you're just calling random people zionists. There are self declared zionists doing horrible things, punching down to suffering Palestinians, and running shameless PR in the name of advancing the zionist cause. But the probably not zionists making a video game with sexy women for their historically not for children franchise for ends realistically unrelated to isntreal are the real zionists. Some real "I can excuse genocide, but"
cry about it you fucking baby
He doesn't have to thanks to that house resolution.
