    Uhh, idk about weirdo. He’s got a Helldivers reference in one, I’d say he’s kinda just an Internet poisoned gamer. Although, he was raised Mormon, but they prefer the term delightsome.

        Which is WILD to me because it’s so on the nose, it’s like it’s not trying to be subtle at all

          Most critics in the 90s missed the satire of Starship Troopers and it’s hard to get much more obvious than that.

            And Helldivers is an obvious homage to Starship Troopers. So much so I’m kind of surprised they haven’t used "would you like to know more? ".

        This is sadly the case with all works satirizing fascism. Some people have such poor literacy, they don’t get that it’s being made fun of, and they go “I like this”.

        Starship troopers

        Warhammer 40k

        Helldivers all suffer these idiots amongst their fandoms
