Resetera melts down over based Helldivers 2 developer statement against DEI

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

The Overton window shifted so far that this woke faggot game with tranny flags, niggers, and body type instead of gender is """based""" because the guy who made it said neutral stuff and slightly woke stuff on Twitter instead of full-on social Marxist drivel.

We need to get some fucking standards. I'm glad the never satisfied lunatic leftists are mad, but they'll always be mad no matter what.

That's about where I'm at on the issue too. Devs are out saying that "maybe we can dial it back just an itty bit." And suddenly it's all WOAW BASED HELLDIVERS DEVS OMG OMG SO AWESOME IM COOL WITH TRANNY COCK IF IT JUST ISNT SO BLATANT GUYS!

Fucking call me when the next game comes out and the CC has no pronouns, male/female options, and the skin defaults to white again. Until then? Believe it when I see it.

Two of those true, but there aren't any gay or tranny flags in-game at least. Your character's race and the races of the bridge crew are randomised I'm pretty sure, maybe sans the democracy officer on the bridge. The body type shit is definitely there though, but I wonder if that's losing its potency to Leftists.

I just had an idea. Companies dropping the fag-flags can just claim that in Trump's america* it's too dangerous to make LGBTQ+ inclusive trainwrecks, now they're forced to try to make profitable games or else the gays they employ will get sent to the gulags.

*developers don't have to be american, name-dropping Trump is enough.

Not sure why people keep saying there's tranny flags in the game when there aren't. At least Pilestedt seems to be aware that it would add nothing to the game to begin with. The game does have body type and voice types. But you can't select your character's ethnicity. Your character's body is completely covered except in two cases. So it's really up to the player's imagination to what their Helldiver is. But the point is that you're playing as a faceless soldier that is meant to die.

There was a while on the discord where every time there was an announcement it would get bombarded by tranny flag reacts. Not sure if that still happens. I have been banned from the discord for months. I'm not much of a fan of Kern, but he is right about one thing. If there's still faggots and furry mods in that discord they need to get rid of them and replace them with people that aren't retards.



This also seems to be a common sentiment over in that thread. The game is shit and boring and DEI would only add to it. Maybe it isn't for you?

Being a faceless conscript being sent into a meatgrinder isn't a concept their brains can handle. The reason why they want all of the DEI tranny shit in games is because they cannot handle a character that doesn't resemble their overweight scarred up vitiligo genderblob self. Same reason they want ugly characters in games, battle-wheelchairs in D&D, and so on. So even though the game has body type 1 and 2, and a couple voices to pick from because it fits the context of the game, that isn't what they actually want. A character that isn't as close to themselves or their own idealized malformed butchered selves, isn't something their brains can process like a normal person would regarding the protagonist in a basic story.

It's also the same reason their performative virtue signaling comes off so forced, why they turn on their own so quickly, and end up coming off like a limp wristed version of Patrick Bateman. The ironic thing is, these people have zero empathy or are simply incapable of it.

You do know we have a culture war thread to post this type of shit, right OP?

This is a gaming thread. It goes on the gaming board.

Did they fire the people who were banning anyone right of thinking Stalin was just okay and not the last great hope for humanity?
I never heard anything about their awful community reps being fired.
So this guy far as I am concerned still a faggot along with his company.

to be fair resetera has a melty all the time, doesn't warrant a thread every time even if it's gaming related.

it's worse, most of them are pasty soyboys and college-educated white women, with some troon in consulting/management position. they don't do it for their own self-insertion, but because they think they're on the right side of history when they "create a space for minorities and marginalized people". there aren't enough people with vitiligo to fill a game studio, let alone carry a AAA game.
they're so deep into woke they unironically do think the patriarchy is real and trump is orange hitler, which is the only reason blacks and everyone else is not equally represented everywhere. it's leftist wish-fullfilment, nothing more. just like real communism has never been tried but would totally work.
