The Helldivers community is coping with a spotlight it doesn’t want

“Yesterday was an interesting day for the Heldivers community.” This is very clear that announced the reopening of the heldivers subreddit team in the small hours of Saturday morning. On Friday, it was discovered that Tyler Robinson, who was arrested on charges of alleged killing of Charlie Kirk, had included messages on the covers of several bullets in the crime scene. One of these reads, “Fashi! Hunting!” Accompanied Heldivers 2.

It is not surprising that, within minutes, the official Subreddit servers and the disagreement of the chaos were thrown. Subredit Helldives soon closed, pointing to a large number of publications that violate their rule against “political discussions in the real world”. Likewise, the signals were deleted to Robinson, KIRK, or Stratagem 500 kg quickly on the Discord server, and some users speculate that software instructions have been marked with the automatic code. (Arrowhead Game, the Helldivers Series, did not issue a public statement about the accident and did not respond to a request for comment.) Users were only informed about the reason for the subreddit closed – “We are not allowed to discuss, and I suggest the search elsewhere”, a user was informed.

Online and in conversations with freedomHelldivers often seemed to be a little confused and anxious about what might come with all this sudden interest. “I do not want to see a society that I would like to be defamed without any error on their own,” wrote a Discord user, Interfionix.

HELLDIVERS is hardly the first piece of media linked to a currency of violence; He shoots the famous Columbin High School on the unpopular spotlight on the spotlight death Commentators also searched the meaning behind the attack. But the slaughter of Kirk inspired widespread calls for revenge violence by Republicans, which makes the research continuing for Robinson’s motive in particular. Even discussing the matter is fraught with risks, as legislators and right -wing, Elon Musk surveying the social media users responses to the police of Kirk’s death, demanding firefighting on employers including Microsoft. Subredit Mods said in their post to reopen it that no one has been banned during the first flood of bullets related to the bullets, but anyone discussing it in the future will be.

It was one of the brief pendants as the game fans could share their feelings at Helld Areers 2 Subreddit, which did not have the same strict ban on political discussions of real life. The Great Reading there, at least for a period of time, was often fans who are nearing the extent of the surreal situation. “Waking up and hearing the US governor sitting says,” Breaks of swelling, what is this? “Reddit Snaxwheels wrote, referring to one of the other non -personnel inscriptions. But in the end this topic was also removed after the supervisors felt that he had gone out of control.

Some posters there have been concerned that attention could indicate a culture of violent video games. Someone even indicated that RFK JR. It may recently revive a largely absolute theory linking violent games to schools. Isadura, a member of the active society spoke to him freedomIt was more suspicious. Jeffen [sic] Short news courses and the fact that a large part of the Majas Youth Base is among [conservative games streamer] Asmongold/Gamergate type, I don’t see the official and its media machine difficult for the game itself. “

One of the prominent questions is – if anything – Robinson thought about Hildifer’s policy. The series that derives from Robert Heinlin Championship forces The adaptation of the Paul Verhoeven movie, is a satire where the players undertake their military role, the fighting brain was washed to spread the “managed democracy” for the semi -fascist Earth government. They said that Isadura calls the game the biggest lot, but “its policy is what made me fall in love with her.” “I am a fans of Paul Veroven the Great and Championship forces It was one of the favorites. ”

As with other irony of tyranny, such as Warhammer 40kThere is a continuous discussion on whether some players get the joke. Isadora, to a large extent, is believed to be doing. “I am sad because this community has been exposed to drugs in this because I believe that the criticism of the paradoxical game of fascism is a great outlet for many people,” they said they are freedom. “It negatively reflects a society that greatly understands the criticisms it places.”
Helldivers will definitely decrease as a footnote to the death of Kirk. But for some players, the strange use of a 500 kg bombs – or their presence kushs – may remain in place. One of Redditor suggested a petition to encourage Arrowhead’s head to change the button. Most of them do not agree with him, scattering his message with the thumb down and large X red reactions. “Please do not bring it here,” said the only response.
