It's a Clerks 2 reference.

LMAO no it isn't.

I already conceded that, yeah, doesn't really make sense that it's a Clerks 2 reference. However, Clerks 2 is the only instance I can find of the word being used in popular media (other than the actual movie CHUD, obviously), and it's clearly not being used as a political insult there, but in a way that's consistent with what people are saying this usage is.

Had to look this up since I never heard it and saw all the whinging about it. I used Milana most of the time once I got her and never encountered this. That's hilarious that people are throwing tantrums over something so hard to run into.

Yeah it's random,. I tried the scene four times with her in the party and it showed up in only one of the four.

The game just RNG picks, which character delivers their one-liner pretty much.
So if someone likes a certain character a lot, they might try to go and recruit everyone while only having this one character with them at all times.

im mixed on that

on the 1 hand it helps every play through feel unique

on the other hand some characters are going to have the best lines and its RNG if you will get them

It's almost as if someone who knew the line was there long, long before the game would release was trying to affect the launch for a certain personal gain.

Oh I'd bet money someone grabbed the script out of the game at launch, and then quickly sicked an AI search process on it to search for a library of 'offensive' terms or phrases.

other people seem to have recorded it but sadly i have not seen it myself. i'd hope the outlets reporting on this show their proof.

on the other hand the banning and the like is like something out of Helldivers.

Oh the line definitely does exist, it's just exceedingly rare to actually encounter, even if you have the character for it in your party at the right time.

there's Beta readers and people paid for that. I dont' agree with that practice because of the wise words of Angel Eduardo and what they had to say on book censorship and the Frankenstien Effect on art.

but that's me. I know my postition in this.

But i don't know the other's position. i can only play devil's advocate and say that maybe they don't want to offend and bring up old wounds via words and phrases that deal with real life crap.

which i agree.

(on the other hand the "chud" comment. if it exists in the game comes from some nasty online arguing that is very onesided and used as a putdown... posibly even sexist as well. ) Then again maybe it was a mistake.

There are screenshots floating around, and one of the community fan-mods that tweaks the dialog specifically removes it. It was definitely there.

That said, I'm still of the opinion that it wasn't remotely political, as it was an existing me and the original usage of it actually fits the scene, where as the political one does.

Here's a link to the Know Your Meme article[knowyourmeme.com]

Interestingly, when it first started being made political, it was actually anti-left, and only later switched to anti-right. And that's all within, like, the last three years.

Proove what? That the 'Chud' line exists? I mean I suppose I could go try over and over until it pops up and take a screenshot.

hows that explain why i dont know what it means now ?
you cant expect us to remember every single insult we pull out of out asses can you ?
we're pretty creative when it comes to making new insults,

by "brit's in general" i meant the whole of the uk... english, scottish, welsh and irish,

<edit>
Halko pretty much summed it up nicely,
theres a few insults / slangs that mean one thing here and are taken as something completely different elsewhere

It's funny though, given that U.K. is Woke Headquarters/Central in Europe.
