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.
Traitors to democracy should be taken out back
People will create drama in anything…
Maybe I won’t play the game. Every time I hear something about this community, it’s toxic shit like this. And here I thought the Destiny community was annoying.
I’ve got 20 hours in and the only issue i have run into is getting kicked when joining a game.
It’s good fun and i play by myself. I imagine if i had friends who played it would be an absolute riot
