I have played continuously, but o ly with friends, so I barely know what is going on in the community except when there are major changes like adding the hiveworlds where I peek in to see if there is something non-obvious to look out for.
Comment on The Helldivers 2 Community needs to get a fucking grip on itself

This is really a shame. The Helldivers community was really positive and supportive for quite a while after launch. I haven’t played since early last year so I have lost touch, but this is sad to hear.

There’s a surprisingly big chunk of the playerbase that ignores satire. Any game like that will attract these assholes, oldest example I can think of is TF2

Like as in they were too into role playing the German doktor?

Oh yeah, or an american supersoldier. Or just garden variety chuds. Though with TF2’s artstyle and hats and all of that they become a comic relief character

Lolol yeah I watched somewhere on yt that you don’t see Nazis appropriating the Nazi imagery in Mel Brooks’s The Producers because it was so ridiculous, it is impossible to take it positively.
IMO the soldier in TF2 should fall into this category too, he is comic relief, but maybe some people want to identify with the dumb, aggro, american numnuts goofy soldier? Idk lol.
