This is the kind of attitude that allowed us to rocket into Fascism in record time in the first place.
It is all of our jobs.

Don’t insult games by suggesting they do not influence people. Any such claim against art is always childish and naive.

First of all I am not invoking literacy in its general use here as implying it is connected to the ability to read, I am referring to a literacy in the basic critical analysis of art. I.E. basic middle school english class reading books and reflecting on what they mean or the ideas they suggest.
Second, the way art is received by an audience is the only thing that really matters about art, so your suggestion that the nature of how the audience of Helldivers interacts with the universe of Helldivers in terms of their realworld beliefs and politics just doesn’t hold water, the reason people make art is to impact people… even when it is “just entertainment” if that is undermined by a stoking of hateful ideologies than the entire enterprise of the artistic work has catastrophically failed.
Third, my beliefs on this are just as, if not more based on my interactions with human beings amidst grass, who are “real”, outside where there is air I can breathe deeply.
