Remember Malevelon Creek? Well, if you weren’t there, man, it’s a planet that Helldivers 2 players tragically lost following some fighting so intense it spawned a litany of memes. Now, inspired by those gags, some folks are trying to incite another mass assault of it, but their serious peers reckon doing so could end up negatively impacting the current war effort.
Yup, the community’s at odds over a potentially disastrous return to the world that some folks just can’t stop thinking about – mainly because they can’t stop making Vietnam war-based jokes. If nothing else, it’s a pretty interesting case of meme evolution, with the Malevelon Creek gags that helped bring players together now fuelling a bit of rift between a few of the hardcore roleplayers and the wider group of pragmatists.
