Idk chinks relatively chill based on my experience... Ofc if the team comp has more than one obviously chink name in it i simply don't join and ignoring that lobby, but if some chinks joining mid game on my lobby they behave so i don't bothering to auto kick them on sight.
 
chinks can singlehandedly complete all objectives and blow up all enemy outposts and not die once in a diff 10 mission

Featured on Mar 7, 2026 by 0 0: Helldivers 2 fans ruin a user's life for offering to donate to charity if the developers play their own content.
Glazers are mad at the recent challenge issued for the devs to beat a hive world with bad weapons for charity, calling it bullying. So naturally, their response is to dox the issuer and try to get him fired from his job.

Apart from the fact this is a really fucking retarded thing to do and makes all glazers look bad, they're literally doing a "leave the multi million dollar company alone!" I hope this only hurts them in the long run.


MOD EDIT: Full summary:

Helldivers 2, as a live service game, has frequently been criticized for having a stale meta with unfun or unbalanced enemies and weapons, and is rife with untested content and glitches.

A user, Key_Complex_150, issued a challenge where he wanted the developers of the game to play on the hardest difficulty on a mission mode known for being difficult, poorly designed, and glitchy. In exchange, he would donate $1,000 to any charity if the devs succeeded.

This infuriates the fanbase, who dox him and harass his employers, including the horse sanctuary he volunteered at, some claiming he is at fault for guilting the developers into playing their own game by promising a charity donation with his own money.

This allegedly led to him being fired from both positions.

However, this inspired far more users to also issue challenges to the developers to make them use content that has been unbalanced since its release. Reddit moderators on the most popular board have been banning people and deleting threads talking about the challenges and the drama. They made a post after the fact explaining they are deleting threads discussing it because the doxers and harassers are posting in them, even though it is the users posting the challenges or discussing the situation who seem to be primarily getting banned.

Unfortunately most states in America are right to work. Which means employers can fire you for any reason without notice. Litigation is a ton of money and I'm sure most contracts outline arbitration clauses so suing for wrongful termination is next to impossible. It doesn't take much for these cowards to fold under pressure because they get dozens of phone calls from mouthbreathing retards or emails that get filtered out anyway. I don't even know what they would say about this guy to get him fired though. He said bad things about a video game that they suck the asshole of the developers of?

Either this dude is lying for sympathy or the Redditors that doxxed him lied about what he was doing to try to get him fired. And it worked. Using burner emails to make threats also would likely work as well.

In other news you don't hate faggot Reddit mods enough. Originally they went nuclear and decided that challenges were no longer allowed. Discussion of the events were no longer allowed. They are still deleting the posts regarding what happened because they know they've fucked up massively and fostered an environment that encourages this type of behavior.

This is part of the original mod post but it's been edited. I did not get a chance to save the original post. They've since added an addendum in another pinned post saying they would now allow challenges to be issued but they MUST be mod approved and the person they issue the challenge to must have the consent of the person doing it. So mods have successfully made it so nobody can criticize the developers for not playing their own game this way again.

The Helldivers subreddit has to be one of the worst subreddits for a game I've ever seen. The devs endorse it but its obvious that they don't take feedback on there very seriously. There are other subs like Helldviersunfiltered and Saltdivers that allow people to exrpess their opinions but considering the devs stance on the "official" sub they likely don't even read those other subs.

It's also come to my attention that the Discord yet again, has more fucking problems. I can't go into the Discord myself because I was banned during the whole furry drama. Then I was also banned from the subreddit for complaining about being banned from said discord because they're both run by retarded faggots.

A pedophile and their buddy supporting them were spotted in the HD2 discord. A user noticed this and tried DMing the mods about this. The mods didn't really seem to care and just said they had to bring it up with the head mod to do something about it. Which is fucking absurd. Any other public server I'm in will usually take action immediately. It just shows the character of the people running the community. Paid or unpaid.

A user decided to try to take matter into their own hands and post a public message. They were banned immediately.

I'm not sure what he expected. Charge your phone bro.

The community is rotted from the inside out. There really is no hope until Sony or Arrowhead clean house and get an entirely new team. But it's very doubtful this will ever happen.

It does look like however that the supporter was eventually banned too. But its crazy it took over a day for someone to do something.

They added an addendum to save face saying it's fine to post challenges but only with Reddit moderator approval, giving the appearance they are filtering out challenges that tests the original challenge's point, which was to investigate if the devs can even play their own content.

One of the people affected by the mass deletion confronted the moderators, pointing out his post which explained the situation more calmly was swept away in the mass purge.

Why all the drama? For some reason, Helldivers 2 in particular has a rabid fanbase who attacks anyone who criticizes the game's flaws. While this seems to be an oversimplification, this is genuinely the case. There are even offshoot Discord and Reddit communities of particularly unhinged fans who ritualistically burn pictures of content creators who criticize the game.

As for Arrowhead, the developers of the game, they have only responded with the generic "we don't condone harassment and are monitoring the situation" corporate talk.

Well I don't know where you guys are finding them, but in my experience the number of chinamen in your lobby is directly correlated with the number of friendly fire incidents.
 
The only thing I appreciate more than players who speak a language I don't understand is players who shut the fuck up entirely.

Imagine how weird that call would be.

"Hi one of your employees made fun of the balancing and dev team of Helldivers 2"
-"What?"

Reddit delenda est

China is much like Superearth in that way: There are always more bodies to throw at the problem.
