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

...did they read the book?? You cant really help but feel bad for Adam (he called himself Adam at some point, been a while). He was absolutely right to wanna kill Frankenstein, Frankenstein created him and then was fucking awful about it
orphaned child rejected by society and parents
this says a lot about science and creation of life
(i also remember feeling very bad for the guy)
It's almost exactly what we call an 'incel'
Rejected by everyone, gets real mad and violent about it
That being said, I’m surprised that CHUDs haven’t adopted Frankenstein’s monster or Grendel from the novel in 1971.
“Nooo! Us Nazis aren’t evil, we’re just misunderstood! And did you guys know we were sad once?”
Freezing cold take but the amount of times vampires are literal slaveowners or confederate soldiers is disquieting.
Okay but what if that's your kink though
sincerely and not a bit-ly. Like, y'know?
To me there is a world of difference between "ooh getting bit by this vampire and becoming a thrall to them would be hot" and "THIS FINE MAN LOUIS, HE OWNED A PLANTATION, HE'S A VALIANT MAN" type shit, I guess.
I read some of those vampire books and there was so much weird shit but I was 13 and horny and it was the late 90s so what you gonna do? You read some smut with the barest veneer of story between the sex parts. Look, mom, I'm reading! I'm being a good boy just please knock before you come in here!
But I definitely remember one series that had vampires hanging out with Krishna as the backstory because vampires were the original Aryans and of course the main character is a sexy blonde lady and looking back I think "what the fuck was going on"
Oh God I think I remember that book. Or I at least saw the cover. One of my friends was a huge fan of those books and had every single one. And invariably he would do something stupid and get in trouble for hitting his younger brother and he'd get banned to his room. And I couldn't abandon my friend because that would be rude. So I'd just hang out in there with him read all the back covers of his books while he pouted.
Oh that's definitely way after the stuff I was familiar with. I do remember all the hooting and hollering when they shitcanned the EU and I was glad to stay out of it.
The ultimate bazinga novel
this would require them to read a book (impossible)
Rejected on account of inhumanity though - it's more like a racial spurning than him being a malcontent. Initially, he tries to be kind, even though he was been brought into the world lacking a real parental figure.
Frankenstein himself was much more of an entitled shitlord.
I think the incel theme is reinforced by the whole "build me a woman who will have no choice but to be my wife" situation
Yeah, definitely true, but that's after the majority of his troubles. For sure though, Shelley was commenting on male ownership/entitlement to female bodies.
Iirc the phrasing is like "I ought to have been thy Adam," so more of him evoking the biblical theme than advancing it as a name he'd like to go by
And also... Bro did kill one child and two adults that had absolutely nothing to do with his anguish. Definitely pitiable but not exactly in the right
