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

Isn't Disney notoriously litigious? Never thought I'd say this, but I hope Disney sues them.

I would be very conflicted if JK Rowling were the one who stepped up and sued Israel over this shit.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I wish them both a long expensive legal battle over it let-them-fight

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Realistically, the worst she'll do is write a shitty book about an IP thief named "Israel Zionstein".

Finally getting her revenge on her editor who wouldn't let her give a gringots goblin that name.

Given how fanatical they are about PR, they probably don't want to deal with the inevitable accusations of antisemitism such litigation would cause.

[–] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah it'd be an unstoppable force encountering an immovable object

Bowser says "free palestine" and "death to the monarchy"

based

This is so embarrassing lol. I though Ukraine had captured the title of most reddit country but looks like Israel is giving them a run for their money

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They're partners in the reddit-logo cinematic universe

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Don’t forget the Taiwan Easter egg cameo

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Imagine the one general calling up the marketing contractors while all the cooler generals get to call in airstrikes.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Propaganda specifically targeted to Disney adults lmao

90 percent sure that Jigsaw would support Hamas though. Like doesn't he torture people for being selfish pieces of shit that ruin other people's lives? Even if everything bad Israel said about Hamas was true, Jigsaw would still fully support it on ideological grounds

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Jigsaw has imprisoned and tortured people for absolutely trivial things.

I'd go so far ad to say he's pretty bad guy

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Wanna make it clear I'm not defending Jigsaw. However, Jigsaw has by far the most consistent ideology of everybody shown in this image. Scar, Voldemort, and even Cruella are all simply in power struggles of sorts, and that's their ideology, wanting to be powerful. Jigsaw doesn't need more power in the movies, he's already infinitely more powerful than the people in his traps. But Jigsaw kidnapped a ton of people from a health insurance company for all the deaths they had given other people through austerity. Jigsaw may have an extremely warped moral compass, but he still has a moral compass that is completely separate from being powerful. He wants to punish people who have actually done bad, and I think he'd be pretty pissed over an entire nation of people being genocided.

As a character, separate from my own feelings, Jigsaw is infinitely more likely to side with Hamas.

[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

But also he kills the president of an insurance company, kills a group of corrupt bureaucrats and landlords, every cop is portrayed as dumb and corrupt then they get killed.

The movies can’t decide whether individuals or systems are bad

[–] Pili@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They really couldn't think of anyone more evil than Disney characters for their propaganda?

Edit: Also isn't it a bad look anyway when Voldemort, Scar, Jigsaw, and Cruella are on your side? That entire campaign looks so clumsy.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 0 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This is hitting Dr. Doom crying about 9/11 levels of bullshit

[–] Grimble@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

LOL at the idea of him feeling anything besides "I need to find who's responsible for this and learn their methods"

[–] sandinista209@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

Lmao, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is such stupid shit. All feelings no analysis

[–] Pixel_Juicer@hexbear.net 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They are probably aiming at children. Someone who is 10 now will be 20 in 10 years and already primed propagandised to support the next massacre. Can't think of any other reason for something so ridiculous.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are current children even aware of Harry Potter? The last movie came out over a decade ago. The last book is from 2007. I don't talk to a lot of kids though.

[–] GreenTeaRedFlag@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

yeah it's still popular with children. not as popular as it was but it's easily accessible due to the proliferation of books and movies. Lord of the Rings is also still popular and it's not come out for a while.
