What if we're the bad guys?

[Skree]

i know, it seems heretical. But what if the insects would just live peacefully if left alone, and we're killing them just for the substances they produce?

What if the automatons are just defending peaceful planets beyond their borders and we're the invaders?

Could it be possible that our democratic rulers that won the elections the last twenty times are lying to us? It seems impossible.

Sounds like something a bug would say.

The bugs are fascists. The robots stand against Freedom.

Both clearly must be stopped. Do your part, Helldiver.

[Doko]

Nahh, the bugs literally eat anything that isn't them, and the bots want to rip anything with flesh apart or graft onto metal.

Mankind is pompous/obnoxious in this game, but they are far from the bad guys, as some ppl try making them out to being.

Bugs are literal insects.
Robots are socialist scum and it doesn't even need to be said that all commie pinko bastards should be shot on sight with no questions asked.
It seems to me that you are experiencing sympathy for the enemy. I recommend you report to your appointed democracy officer so that you can have these abnormal thought patterns corrected immediately.

(as informed by super earth news sources)


Cyborgs were from Super Earth but dissented from it due to its fascism, im pr sure. and we literally farm the bugs for oil, and cover up the breakout that cost super earth's own innocent lives with just a "theyre spreading through planets. asking how they get from planet to planet is treason"

nobody is saying the game is bad because it contains fascism, dont be mistaken, but Super Earth is probably the furthest from the "good guys" out of the three current factions

Sounds like a deserter!

"... I'm the bad guy?"
"Yeah."
"How'ed that happen? I did everything they told me to."

Lol.. nah, saying that the Helldivers are the bad guys is like saying that there are more than 2 genders. it's objectively not true and any person who objects to the truth should be brought to the back and be put down like Old Yeller.

Does it matter? You are always the bad guy from someone's perspective. Enjoy what you are doing? Yes? Then do it.

[「SHAORUNE」]

Even if humanity are the bad guys, i'm still siding with humanity. Fk the bugs and robots, HUMANITY FIRST.

someone has non-binary people living rent-free in their head lol
but then again that makes sense considering you cannot see that the whole premise of HD1 and 2 is that you are in a military force for a fascist government that spoon feeds you propaganda. one would think youre susceptible to it

Yes. You are surely right. I will go to the democracy officer right now and volunteer for a helldive beyond enemy lines to make up for my doubts.

we got a genius here
