Calling someone fascist is a “buzzword” apparently…

I like that DVD region is a strong marker for national cultural identity.

Japanese writing, architecture, and cuisine are all derived from China and Korea, but they are in DVD region 2 so therefore they aren’t Asian.

Yeah it is. It’s a reflection of Japan’s geopolitical and especially economic alignment with the US. It’s a little weird to point it out in a way that sounds like they chose a different region as a pointed way to differentiate themselves from the rest of Asia rather than as a result of the broad aftermath of WWII. Also the cultural identity as being different from the rest of East Asia is of course much older. But yeah, it’s an interesting marker that I find funny these nerds noticed because of their particular media consumption.

Create post

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
