Helldivers 2 Mods Protect Furry Posts - Negative Reaction To Mods Furry Artwork Is Punished

Ah yes! Helldivers 2 the famed Furry Art community! Right?! That's the main concern of this discord server right? What do you mean "How will this help us sell video games?" One must wonder why any one would think this to be a wise reaction to anything! But Arrowhead Game Studios woke community moderators seem quite intent on keeping the controversy and the drama factory going into the future no matter the cost to them or any one else!

Community Managers for servers... The new con of the era. No seriously. Twitter fired a bunch of these people and someone was curious to see where they went. All of the major companies seemed to have let them join their ranks as Sony is the one who owns and gets to decide what their games get for community managers. These CMs seem to have been brought from Twitter after they got fired and given new homes right in these 'official servers' which seem to becoming the dumping grounds for these rejects! Realizing that there are too many people who want to play Helldrivers had actually fought back... They are now doing their best to trim away the player base and replace it with anyone else. Seriously! This is why people hate Sony! A generous person might think it is about the bugs joke humor and their 'mutations' which is done as A joke. The fact the CMs are getting ready to ban people before anything is posted... Makes me think they are getting ready to dump +18 age rating furry porn on the server.

The concept which LGBT represents is not political any more than being straight is political. The only reason politics entered into it is because conservatives brought the government into the bedroom and gave it the power to tell you who you can be intimate with.
