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 [email protected]

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 shit is relentless with every new multiplayer game release. Westerners always want specifically the Chinese to be region locked, nobody else, just them.

They see a name with Chinese characters and start frothing at the mouth about it frothingfash

EDIT: Ah yes here's another new one https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/18emyxe/region_block_for_russians_and_chinese_please/

And a big one a month ago, in this they claim 99% of all cheats are China and the vast majority of all people ever banned in games are always Chinese https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/17ikpcw/region_lock_china_do_not_make_the_same_mistake/

Another today lol https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/18eeo9r/so_genuine_question_why_wasnt_china_region_locked/

I could make the lag argument, there’s a lot of evidence that the combination of distance and all kinds of packet inspecting network hardware would make Chinese players harder to deal with…

opens big book of racism instead

was basically going to post the same thing. makes sense to want to play people that are in the same region as you for competitive games. doesn't make sense to get racist AF
