For some Helldivers 2 players, the fascist role-play has gone too far (www.polygon.com)

No surprise there with the freeze-gamer community. I saw some libs on ResetEra smugly downplaying this, because of course they would. Don't you dare say anything negative involving my treats. maybe-later-honey

It took GantztheDemon 10 days to be able to play Helldivers 2 again. On Feb. 21, TikTok user AJGaming shared a video featuring Gantz killing them. The sequence went viral overnight, garnering 4.8 million views as of this writing. A subsection of the Helldivers 2 community, hung up on the politically charged satire theme of the online shooter, labeled the player as a “traitor” and began inciting others to shoot on sight. Alongside dozens of TikToks campaigning for a witch hunt, Gantz’s PlayStation account was temporarily banned after receiving hundreds of reports.
