      Zelda fans, including the conservative ones, have been asking to play as Zelda for a long time. Because God forbid we explore the character of the titular character.

        I’m disapointed it’s some weird simple pokemon game instead of part of the core franchise. I want to run around doing cool magic and tranforming in to Sheik.

              Right? I have so many issues with the show, starting with the elves all having tons of fly aways before moving on to how the director hides the VFX sets when people are talking by putting the entire backdrop out of focus.

              Also, why do half the dwarves not have beards wth?

      I’ve noticed this with the wider counter culture.

      On reddit the r/dankmemes subreddit agrees that smoking pot is deadly, sexuality is shameful and the only cool way to be edgy is to say slurs and support republican politicians.

      We’re unitonically at the point of the “counter culture” being Christina conservatism, which fucking sucks more than I have words for.

      Well I’ve got a few words… president Xi… xi-plz

        (US) A stereotypical woman, typically middle-class, who is overprotective of her children and often overambitious and bragging about their success.

        In the 80s, 90s and 00s conservative parents’ groups were at the forefront of the culture war, protesting against heavy metal, rap, Dungeons and Dragons, video games and whatever else they believed was corrupting their children

        Soccer moms are mothers who take their kids to sports events, whether it’s practice or games. They usually drive a large van so they can carpool with other families from the same team as their kids. They are generally stay-at-home moms, doing house chores and taking care of the children. This is only possible because they are affluent, well-to-do, and live in suburbs.

        It can be misogynistic in stereotyping women because stay-at-home moms are often looked down on, despite what they do being intense, full-time labor. Where soccer moms get a bad rap is when they abuse legal drugs (namely alcohol and prescriptions) during the day. Or they get a bit too hyped over their kids’ sports. There’s always some shit head at a little league baseball game getting drunk and trying to fight other parents/referees/actual, literal children.

        Generally though, “soccer mom” is a neutral term describing people who parent as a job and help other families with transportation, event organizing, and recreational activities.

    Gamergate was a psyop to make the suburban soccer moms become the standing authority on what constitutes a “good” game. I see no evidence against this.

        Very true. If magic was real, it would be heavily-regulated and all the high-level secrets would be reserved for the extraction class. Hell, if magic was real, they would probably keep it secret amongst themselves and use it to control us all and take everything from u…

    I’m not exactly the world’s most positive person bit I am genuinely thankful that I’m not so fucking stupid, gullible, or underestimulated that i give a shit about this kind of stuff.

    Like imagine having a legitimate intense emotional reaction to what gender the cute little character you’re playing as in a child’s game is.

The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can’t post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank’s rules, just without rule 8.

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.
