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

The actual article is hilarious: https://web.archive.org/web/20220920184537/https://www.mrctv.org/blog/racist-hulu-dramedy-reservation-dogs-depicts-white-people-removed-crackers

In the episode, the tribal officer (Zahn McClarnon), who goes by the name “Big,” accidentally ingests hallucinogenic drugs along with his friend “Kenny Boy” (Kirk Fox). As they stumble through the forest and experience hallucinations, they stumble upon a disturbing initiation ceremony involving white men being intimate with beheaded catfish. Because, as the show so often says, “white people":

Kinda makes me want to watch it now.

check it out, it's good. A lot of heart in there, in the best sense. Laughed a lot, cried a lot, heard one particular pastiche Indian say 'Aho, young warrior' in my mind for days. Good stuff

It's so fucking good and that episode is the one that inspired me to make this post.

I was actually just looking for the clip from that scene and stumbled into this article instead.

Don't these chuds genuinely believe that stuff like this happen at Bohemian Grove? Was Roosevelt not white lmao.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago

Wat. Did they watch the same show as I did? The writers do poke light-hearted fun at whites, but arguably they goof on native culture the most.

Reaching real hard in this article.

Sounds like I have something to watch!

I've enjoyed it so far but have had to take a bit of a break. CW: untreated major depression is fairly central to the plot (at least season 1) and hit me pretty hard in the feelers.

I don't think they know what "racism" means...

The show is anything but exaggerated in its depiction of white people too. They fail to mention that Big (the tribal cop)'s friend is a white dude and there are plenty of white people that aren't evil capitalists like the people depicted in the cult-like secret society they are busting which is played for laughs and definitely not even as close to how actually horrifying some of those Klan cults really are.

Shit, one the main characters has a family friend played by Bill Burr, and he's the whitest fucker on the planet.
