Robots are trying to twist the message of Helldivers 2 into something that's anti-liberty. Nonsense, right? Freedom and democracy are the whole point! The mechanical menaces have even gone as far as recreating the intro to make Super Earth's forces look bad and hacking into the official social media channels to spread these lies.
Thankfully, dedicated players are seeing right through this deception. Across the multiplayer shooter's community, people are rejecting claims we might be the baddies. "They're making baseless propaganda now!" says a Reddit thread on the subject. I mean, any such claim is an absolute fabrication designed to stifle the democratic process.
"I can't believe they would lie to their own citizens about our peaceful ways! We must put an end to this and bring managed democracy to their shores!" says one incredulous Reddit commenter. "See how the jeep didn't run over those 2 adult automatons? Fake," says another of the robotic mockup of the Helldivers 2 introduction cinematic.
THEY'RE MAKING BASELESS PROPAGANDA NOW!!!! from r/Helldivers
We do share some similarities, in that there are factories specifically for turning older or less useful people into other resources. But our version is more humane and rewarding. "Difference here is that they voluntarily go into the grinder as they accept that they can no longer play their role for democracy," a Redditor explains.
"Every soul that volunteers gets a free ride on a Super Destroyer and a personal salute from General Brash before they go off to play their part one last time."
They're totally different experiences, really. In our case, it's all clearly for the greater good of the galaxy, and if you're not an ally in such endeavours, then you're an enemy. You're free to ask what happens to anything that stands in Super Earth's way; spoilers, it's not good.
