“Clearly they are automaton spies”: Helldivers 2 player has hilarious response to Malevelon Creek cape negative reactions
The intergalactic battlegrounds of Helldivers 2 are fraught with peril and glory in equal measure. Players around the globe have dedicated countless hours to liberating the galaxy, one planet at a time. Among these planets, Malevelon Creek stands out—a name that resonates with valor, strategy, and the indomitable spirit of Super Earth’s finest. To honor this, the president of Super Earth commemorated the liberation of Malevelon Creek with a unique cape, a symbol of victory that has, surprisingly, sparked controversy within the community.
The Cape Controversy
Not long after its introduction, the cape became a topic of heated debate among players. Feedback was polarized, with some players expressing dissatisfaction and others going as far as saying they would kick anyone wearing the cape from their lobby. This sentiment struck a chord within the community, prompting discussions and reactions that ranged from incredulous to humorous.
Amidst this clamor, a voice from the community, Reddit user GiantSlayer, responded with a witty comeback that turned the tide of conversation. “Clearly, they are automaton spies, seething with rage at their loss at Malevelon Creek,” they quipped, suggesting that only enemies of Super Earth would deride a symbol of its triumph. The community rallied around this humorous take, using satire as a shield against the criticism.
A Symbol of Remembrance
To many Helldivers, the cape is more than just an aesthetic choice—it’s a symbol of effort, sacrifice, and the triumph against the Automatons on Malevelon Creek. The battle for Malevelon Creek wasn’t just another mission; it was a testament to the Helldivers’ resolve and teamwork. Now, with the introduction of the cape, players have a tangible reminder of their accomplishments and the challenges they’ve overcome together.
Moreover, the establishment of a Malevelon Creek Memorial Day within the game’s lore adds another layer of significance. It serves as an enduring tribute to those who fought and encourages players to continue their vigilant crusade against the Automaton threat. Wearing the cape isn’t just a matter of personal preference—it’s a badge of honor, a declaration of allegiance to Super Earth and its values.
The Ongoing Battle
While the debate about the cape has been a source of interest, it’s just one aspect of the dynamic and ever-evolving world of Helldivers 2. The game’s live service model ensures that no victory is ever final. The loss of Tibit, even as the Helldivers celebrated their hard-won success at Malevelon Creek, serves as a stark reminder of the relentless nature of their foes. With new challenges on the horizon and the unending struggle against the Automatons, the Helldivers must remain united, resilient, and ready to face whatever threats emerge.
The introduction of the Malevelon Creek cape has undoubtedly stirred the pot, but it has also highlighted the community’s capacity for humor and unity in the face of adversity. As Super Earth’s defenders look forward to protecting their newly liberated territories and pushing back against the Automaton advance, they do so with a renewed sense of camaraderie and determination, cape or no cape.
In the sprawling cosmos of Helldivers 2, battles may be won or lost, but the spirit of the Helldivers—their courage, their willingness to support one another, and their ability to laugh in the face of criticism—remains unbreakable.

After seeing the video from Jared Monroe and now hearing Steven Crowder's response. I've taken a lot of time to process everything and understand it.
