The topic was Helldivers. Helldivers is a leftist game that satires USA fascism. GCJ has identified that the game is satirising fascism, but refuses the coding as the USA, western Europe, AUKUS and the NATO countries.
Some Nazi (not apparent from what he said, but I recognise the name) made a comment to the effect of ‘GCJ pretends to be against fascism but would happily bomb poor countries over a gay rights issue’, and the comments where highly critical of this supposedly being a contradiction. They made unironic and unambiguous statements in support of bombing and invading countries ‘to spread democracy’ like the game was a commentary on, but in their world view, unlike the game, because they would educate and enlighten the backwards countries by introducing new human rights laws that would better protect gays.
I never visited there, even in my reddit days, but isn’t it presumably a gaming sub? Why would they even be talking about bombing countries?
