Is “catch this, fascist!” from Helldivers or just the stratagem? I’ve seen people saying it is but haven’t really played it so wasn’t sure. Thought it was mostly lines about liberty.
@ElectronEnjoyer it being a variant of a meme about the game makes enough sense to me
@coopercooperco nah no voice lines ever existed, nor was there a reference of fascism. the in-game universe would've smacked you for treason 💀💀💀
@coopercooperco Just the arrows are related, the “catch this fascist” isn’t
@coopercooperco No way the guys are fascists they would never say that
@coopercooperco HD2 is loaded with Newspeak style stuff. Story is the government of 'Super Earth' runs on 'Managed Democracy' (pseudo AI fascism), and their enemies, the 'communist' bots and 'fascist bugs' threaten their way of life. Very starship troopers adjacent.
@coopercooperco Just the strategem I think but there's plenty of antifascist rhetoric in the game
@coopercooperco I've heard when throwing grenades, but never when calling in a 500 kg bomb. That's what the "up, right, down, down, down" input code is for.
@coopercooperco The only helldivers reference is the stratagem input, the only time the time the term fascist is used in-game is to describe the bugs and even then thats only in-game text not voicelines
@coopercooperco the community refers to the squids as fascists somewhat often
@coopercooperco I've played an embarrassing amount and I've never heard it
@coopercooperco Have yet to hear my avatar calling bugs fascists. Either bro was a noob or he throwing in some original lines of his own
@coopercooperco Just the stratagem code
