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

Who's supposed to be Alfred in this scenario, because Joe Biden is currently burning down all of Palestine Ras al Ghul style

I know it's just a dumbass analogy but that fact that it's also just plainly lying about who their guy is, it's fucking gross

If Biden is Alfred, is Batman the Deep State?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Batman replaces Alfred all the time!

Usually it's with someone else's kid, but who am I to judge Gotham's richest bachelor?

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

But Alfred isn’t too old. Isn’t he portrayed as sharp and wise despite his age?

Can we replace Alfred with Poison Ivy instead? I'm sure she has a good plan for attempting to build carbon sinks with a mass reforestation program. Maybe she could be our climate Mao.

Do they actually think we are not voting for Biden only because he’s old?

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Yes. Because to admit we have other criticism is to legitimize those criticisms.

They did the same thing with Hillary being a woman.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

seeing as how Batman is a billionaire douche, I would totally replace Alfred with the joker. and I would replace Robin with Bane. and Commissioner Gordon with Poison Ivy and Lucious Fox with Harley Quinn.

If Joe Biden did this shit I'd vote for him

Judging by current discourse, we're gonna have to replace the "De" in "Debate 2024" with "Mastur"

che-smile D'you think the whitehouse or other three letter agencies place orders for erectile dysfunction pills for all of their higherups...

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alfred doesn’t have his own movie

[–] regul@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They did give him a TV show a few years back. Maybe it's still going.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

It just ended actually

:dean-smile: when they aren't comparing politics to the fantasy boarding school

:dean-frown: ...so they compare it to the comic with the french gorilla instead

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's more like the Riddler is running Gotham, but people keep refusing to oppose him because they're worried the Joker will take over.

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Any time they use these gotcha lines, I'm like, OK you've convinced me. I'm not voting for Trump
