MODERATORS
I saw someone calling China "Managed Democracy" today. They are absolutely just applying every negative thing in it to the things they don't like.
They're completely oblivious to the fact that their rabid China rhetoric is literally the thing being ridiculed when it comes to the bots. They are entirely oblivious to the fact they are the subject of the satire.
They only see it at the most surface level interpretation possible of "fascism bad" and do not apply it to anything in the real world appropriately. I strongly disagree that they "get it", this is a line that rightists use to kill conversation about people being oblivious to it, the goal of killing that conversation is to keep interpretations and understanding of it at the "fascism bad" surface level.
Helldivers are absurdly racist to anyone they perceive to be Chinese.
I remember seeing some awesome Chinese cosplayers being posted in the subreddit and the comments were full of "do they not get the irony???"
The subreddit does not in fact get the game, no matter how much they claim they definitely do and that is why there is no reason to talk about politics.
In almost all cases "no politics" is a tool of the right to prevent spread of awareness or greater understanding. The "no politics" approach to everything is about reducing or at least preventing the spread of consciousness.
