    “hey fascist! catch!” might be reference to helldivers but it also says “hey fascist! catch!”

    We were definitely on one thinking this was some deeply veiled, meta-ironic thing.

      The arrows is a game controller dpad combo for using a 500kg bomb. “catch” is a reference to dropping the 500kg bomb. The bugs in the game, called “Terminids” are sometimes called fascists.

        And in context it’s a reference to the dude he shot being a fascist. Which is true and lines up with his texts about CK spreading hate. I don’t think he was writing that purely as a video game reference and just incidentally happened to hit a fascist with the bullet.
