    I was speaking in reference to Helldivers 2, because the parent comment was talking about roleplaying and people don’t usually use that language around books or TV shows.

      Fwiw, I was indeed taking about Helldivers, though I was referring to the irl “roleplay” of it in memes and in social media, even in communities completely unrelated to the game, like this one.

      Same goes for those that take stuff like Fallout’s Brotherhood of Steel or Warhammer’s Imperium of Man too seriously. This stuff is better left in the context of the game. Bringing it into real life is sketchy at best.
