Edit: Lemmy users and not understanding who people are talking about, name a more iconic duo! I'm talking about the right wing Steam users commenting on the patch notes.

I'm laughing with how relevant this feels to me.

Which is exactly why the US senator that said this is a left-wing Democrat, right?

Politics is so tiresome.

I'm talking about the users commenting on Helldivers patch notes. Just like with Starship Troopers, people on the right see Helldivers as inspiring when the real message behind the media is anti fascism.

Try to follow the conversation, that should have been very clear considering the comment I was replying to.

I really like that there was a whole thing about building a super-weapon where players had to complete quests or whatever to contribute to its development. Then enough players compete the quest and the weapon was completed, and it turned out to be an orbital bombardment that killed enemies and players indiscriminately.

A lot of players were pissed but it's so aggressively in-character I can't imagine how they didn't see it coming.
