Comment on The Helldivers 2 Community needs to get a fucking grip on itself

Remember, half the community doesn’t realise the plot is parody of them and not actually glorifying their ideals.

Helldivers is no parody. What are you talking about. :)

Unfortunately even as parody/satire they don’t really show us a better faction.

We seriously need to give up on the sarcastic, parodic pro-capitalist games, and go back to ripping heads off of virtual fascists.

That’s honestly why I’m torn on Warhammer 40k movies and series, some idiots really do not get it that EVERYONE is horrible in that universe and that the racist, fascist, xenocidal, fanatic, militarist theocracy that has the skull as their main item of decor is evil and a parody on thatcherite conservatism cranked up to 12 (because 11 wasn’t enough).
It is so hard to depict the factions of the empire in a light where you can somewhat identify with the individuals, stuck in the machine to be able to tell a story while at the same time making it look cool AND showing that “this is bad, this is really bad and stupid”. And keeping simpleminded fools from being taken in by that aura of power, toxic masculinity and fascism that oozes through every faction like a purulent infection designed by papa Nurgle himself.

That is a great summary of the Warhammer 40k universe and I say that as a fan of it.

Teach why Fascism is bad and doomed to failure instead of telling people they can’t tell one kind of joke.
