Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.
Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

This is Earth, not Super Earth. Robot racism is not cool here. Unless they are LLMs.
"Remember, kids, roleplaying as a fascist is fine, but being one IRL is bad!" < words spoken before your entire playerbase that is on Twitter revolts because half of them ARE fascists
Any time I run in to one of the genuine fascist types in Helldivers, I literally will merc them until they kick me or they run out of lives. I will drop all my samples, and blast them when they are literally in the ship waiting for extraction. Fascism is only fun when it's by Paul Verhoeven (i.e. Starship Troopers), or in a game where it's satire. If you genuinely believe in it, I don't miss out on anything by ruining their fun and dropping from a mission, since I'm already maxed out at Lvl 150.
You are doing the Lord's work, Helldiver.
Yeah, I enjoy the clankers meme as much as anyone, but it's not hard to see how it could quickly end up in a dark place. Consider this. How hard would it be for the term "clankers" to drift from referring to the LLMs themselves to instead refer to the people who use LLMs? I could certainly see the word being adopted as an epithet for the fools that produce AI slop.
And now we've shifted from just joking about robots to actually referring to living human beings with a slur.
I've heard some people with more sci-fi prothestics (or even any at all) be referred to as clankers, and I'm just like... Bro. Our skeletons are made of calcium, which is a metal. Most of our biological processes use electricity. We're literally just as much of clankers as robots are.
