Gamers declare war. Stop watering games down with hidden political agendas.

Its a plain lightthearted joke from the dev

Tell me where a game where your enemy is space robot and bugs are fascist game
Do you not pay attention to the lore ingame? It's implied you're sent to concentration/re-education camps if you dissent lol, you are disappeared and your comments are censored if you leave a negative review in the super-store, they encourage you to snitch on people who disagree with the government, there's all sorts of authoritarian signposting in the voice lines from your ship crew. Also there's sooooo much nationalistic propaganda and "humanity is the greatest, if you disagree you're a dirty traitor" flying around, you haven't read a single line of lore text in the game?

The first three movies all have black cast members in a main role capacity.

Below is one of the best scenes ever made in modern films. Around about 9.20+ into the video, the dreaded use of the n-word. If this is what people complain about when referencing his films or saying " something is going on" then I say, "those people are living in cloud cuckoo land"



Tarantino uses the word as much as people would use the word within the context of the decade/century the story takes place.

Pulp Fiction is 30 years old. Feeling offended by its use in these cases is idiotic and a clear sign of deep ignorance and intolerance issues.



This is none of my business, but from a linguistic perspective the "N" word only means "black male/female" in Latin languages. Black as a name is translated into nigrum and the adjective is the "N" word. It's widely used in scientific names like one wild tomato species here known as Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum).

And for race there are 2 names for what's generalized as "blacks" in Africa in the Arabic language, one is Zinj which are the descendants of Ham (son of Noah) and Ahbash "Abyssinians" which are Semites "descendants of Sam son of Noah" that are in Eastern Africa like the Pharaohs. The illegal name here is calling someone a slave which you, at least, get fined 500 OMR ($1,300 USD) that goes to the victim.

As a curiosity, in Portuguese-speaking countries (Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde), black people prefer being called negro, and the term preto (literal translation for black) is the one with possible racist connotations. I think it's the same with Spanish-speaking countries.

Somehow, only the English-speaking societies went the other way around, and it probably started in the US.


We also never followed the ridiculous nonsense of establishing that you can only say or write certain words if you have a certain skin color.
That's called racism.

Of course the two woke people in here find helldivers a game about giant bugs and space robots are fascist game
I mean you play are part of a fascist military force that is big on the censor not that the game itself is fascist. I'm not passing moral judgement on Helldivers just pointing out that the game does actually have things to say politically (criticism of fascism). I think you're confusing us saying the politics of the nation you're fighting for is fascist as calling the game itself immoral which are two very different ideas.
Indeed thats why people demonize the game and calling it fascist game is a bit far
I wasn't demonizing the game! I like Helldivers 2!
