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.
Unfortunately, some Helldivers do not understand or appreciate the satire.
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
Mormons only smile on the outside.
