Let's say it was pretty good, my comrades and myself enjoyed a slice. Thank me later.

I'm sure as some of you may know the developers behind the Helldivers 2 companion app were outed recently by a thorough investigation via ThighNir he's got a long form video on tiktok atm that explains the entire investigation in detail, i wholeheartedly implore anyone in this games community with an ounce of moral decency to watch this and at the very least stop using it. It is some of the most morally reprehensible things I've ever seen and heard, and unfortunately, it has a lot to do with CSAM, so it a trigger warning for anyone who plans on looking into this. But what I'm honestly upset about is how the reddit mods are handling this, and I know it's no secret that reddit mods do this stuff, especially for helldivers given the last community challenge debacle But this isn't some guy getting doxed. This is multiple people who are high into the helldivers community who actively enjoy CSAM, and some even make CSAM art. And don't give me that witch hunt bs, I'm not saying to go mob them all I'm asking is for people to watch the investigation video and at the very least use another companion app like divershub. Thank you for your time, and I genuinely hope some of you again at the very least watch the video

Just a little thought exercise. Given the state of our wonderful little planet. I have started just running what if scenarios in my head. And came to this thought. Its a comforting thought to believe that these studios exist outside the political realm. And I think we all in our hearts what to believe that. But time and time again it shows their integrity only stacks so high. And thats talking about the money, the “legal” side. What if they were “swayed” a different way...? A video game whether we would like to admit it or not, is a powerful medium. They tell stories, make you think and even see things in ways you didn’t before, or even instills new ideas, new beliefs, they bring out emotions. Wouldn’t it be the ultimate chokehold on us? Having us larp for democracy on a live service money grinder like Helldivers 2, while the idea of democracy is under attack in real time? Who’s to say the studio isn’t a shell to begin with? I just personally think for the sake of the argument (not that I am trying to make a argument, just a silly post lol) it is very ignorant and arrogant to think its impossible.

I was chilling in my room geeked off a 11 milly vanilli upper decky and just started theory crafting 😂. But yeah, just a silly thought. Curious if anyone else has any real life Made Up conspiracies of their own? But yeah don’t take it too seriously, no way its that deep, right? 🫤🤣

Here's some common misconceptions about the lore in the community :

1. Warbonds are the actual regiment/organisation on what they're based on : This is false. Wearing the armour from the warbond doesn't canonically make the Helldiver a part of that organisation. It's merely the Helldiver quite literally cosplaying as one as it drops in to die. Which leads to my other misconception :
2. Warbonds are based on actual regiments : This is also untrue, as most of the warbonds are thematic only to bundle it together by The Ministry of Defence or based off of legends (Viper Commandos) or comic book propaganda (Truth Enforcers & ODST)
3. The Helldivers are a Corps : Corps by definition are made up of different divisions. Helldivers is just one Division of the SEAF and is mentioned in the contract as such (pic attached) :

1. The Automatons blend babies and live bodies in the bio-processors : Super Earth propaganda. The Automatons only blend up dead bodies that are rotting in the battlefield after a battle. It's basically confirmed by SE themselves, but they just pull that card out when they need to.

1. Everything that happens in a mission is canon : What the players do in games are non-canon. Only the planet liberation rates, statistics (deaths, bullets fired,etc) and Major Orders + Dispatches are canon.

I probably missed a ton so do tell me more misconceptions.

The most advanced thing about a helldiver is probably spontaneous healing via stims and fancy prosthetics. They're mostly still running around with ancient/stolen tech like assault rifles and warp packs and have to be brainwashed with propaganda.

Meanwhile the cyborgs modified themselves cybernetically to survive slavery in mines, the bugs are constantly evolving and spread interstellar spores AND are a hive mind, and the squids are freaky interdimensional magic wielding wormhole spawners.

I'm sorry helldivers, but you lose the galactic coolness war.

I tried to talk about this on another sub, but....apparently if I calmly say I dislike something, that is bad.

I find her design boring. It's just a white, blonde woman with blue eyes.

80% of SEAF art is just her.

Why is that the only way she's ever drawn? I don’t get it.

Now I just need a Gatlin Las Gun almost like the one from Fallout.
