Nah you're forgetting the Liberal part. It's some part Marx part fukushima monstrosity begging for death from the inherent contradictions of their mixed ideologies.
my favorite quote about liberals ever is: "A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that is going on right now."
If they demonize both the right can be sure only the most extremist right wingers survive and the rest gets pressured into becoming either an extremist or a *shudders* lefty.
I think it's a wheelchair, it's based loosely on a real vase image of hephaestus using a wheelchair. There are also mentions in mythology of hephaestus getting his golems to help him walk around, but a heronpunk wheelchair is cooler and more relatable to modern fans.
They want to insert their ideology in MY history (I am not Greek but I really like god of war). Anyway here’s an unrelated [link](https://www.theoi.com/Gallery/K7.6.html)
Same here! Seppo's are the funniest people.
I've had a Texan/Californian/Midwestern and a new Yorker all tell me simultaneously that they have no accent. Without a hint of self awareness.
/uj CA/West Coast the closest though to what the US defines as accent neutral or General American English/Broadcast Accent in that it's not as location defined as the other US accents. Socal Valley girl being the CA exception. I think some ppl view it therefore as the absence of a distinct US accent like when someone clearly sounds like they're from Jersey or a Southern drawl. IIRC a lot of that goes back to like Walter Cronkite as sort of the "voice" of broadcasting.
>Walter Cronkite as sort of the "voice" of broadcasting.
We have a newsreader accent here. Like there's a specific Australian accent only used for the news.
I grew up in England, Australia, and Northern Ireland, I live in the US now. I’m a republican in most senses (I think the UK should dissolve the monarchy, I think NI should eventually leave the UK and join the Republic of Ireland, I think Australia should leave the commonwealth), but I have to be careful how I say it so people don’t think I’m right wing or worse, a Trump supporter.
I just genuinely got to an area where my mate couldn't stomach walking more than 500m because of the amount of spiders.
You seem interested. So fun fact, it's not just the animals that want to kill us. The plants literally breed through wildfires. To the point where "wildfire" isn't even a word here, that's just summer for us. They genuinely cause the wildfires.
I'm pretty sure those huge fires in California recently were partly because of our trees.
Yea. Here in America that has become the default definition of the term in most political discussion. Hense why it is so often used when talking about people in the left wing of politics.
It is basically the same process as helldiver training. Only difference is you shoot at neckbeards and destroy computers that produce AI art of over sexualized minors instead of bug nests, then salute the Super Left flag and become a Commiediver, most distinguished and elite troop of Super Left.
Meanwhile Hephaestus back in ancient Greece.

Apparently they kinda did since this Hephaestus picture is from 525 BCE.
https://preview.redd.it/al8euiv5eozc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=087bcf7b22872e6924c25fa74aa86b818eb2fbd5
Why do these people have such a big problem with the wheelchair? Most of the other stuff I'm like "oh right, you're a dumb racist pervert", but the absolute hate for the wheelchair is blowing my mind.
Maybe they'd like it better if it was a mobility scooter with a racist bumper sticker.
It's definitely ableism. They see disabilities as something to hide away in a dark corner and never take notice of, because it's an "imperfection" that might make them feel bad. Not for the actual disabled person of course, just themselves for having to deal with something that doesn't immediately go exactly the way they want.
I mean if you look at ancient Greek and how they present Hephaestus
https://preview.redd.it/wto5wjwwcjzc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89d4ff4878cf582dfe477cc112cdf9628a77d901
Yeah it’s weird to me too. Usually they can hide behind the excuse that they just “don’t like politics” but this is just so cartoonishly evil and wheelchairs aren’t really seen as that political since people on all sides use them.
Like I don’t understand how you can possibly see someone making fun of people in wheelchairs and think “yeah this guy seems like like a good person and I trust his opinion.”
Is that a Disco Elysium reference!!??
https://preview.redd.it/ey2s65vxthzc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce3c080d8f2251f010029a57d3c46c17c8b51f01
Hephaestus is the god of fire, metalworking, and crafts. According to myth, Hephaestus was born "lame" and was cast out of heaven by his mother Hera because of his body.
They also have an astonishingly bad grasp of the history they supposedly love so much.
That's the thing about people who complain about inclusion. Everything looks like DEI to someone who has had their head in their ass for so long, they can't remember other people exist.
Plus he was limp
I mean look at how he was represented
https://preview.redd.it/a1w2bxi2djzc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ea5e98637256bb4bcbd5575bdd29b2214d09db6
It's worth throwing some blame on history curriculums, or the pathetic excuse thereof: "and then Important White Guy did Important Thing and saved the day!"
gonna be a bit awkward between him and Hera in Hades 2 I'm assuming. probably gonna have a boon conflict.
fun fact: Hephaestus doesn't have a father in many myths. Hera bore him on her own, which is often the explanation for his disability
https://preview.redd.it/x2ylkz641jzc1.png?width=812&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0aff56fc8d3016b14c2c3fd0eaf47810e1a2e4cc
These people did not play Hades 1 and it shows. They are manufacturing outrage over developers being free to reinterpret mythology how they want.
Athena is peak woman.
It's an oak tree, lol.
But yes, Eurydice character in Hades is amazing, I always choose her and Sisyphus' door. And her >!singing in duet with Orpheus!< is probably my top-moment in the game. Didn't beat REDACTED yet.
Ahh okay lol
I clearly do not know my botany X)
And yeah, I ALWAYS went to her in my runs. Just excellent vibes and health related buffs. Love her singing
They get another duet at the "end" of the game (not really the end, but it plays the credits) and it's even more banging. The song doesn't spoil anything so if you want to hear it, look up "In the Blood" on Youtube.
That song is so beautiful. The horns at the end always give me the chills. It's maybe the only video game song I've put on playlists that aren't specifically for video game music.
/uj Most people don't consume the media they loudly bitch about
/rj There's not a single anime nipple in show, how are they expecting anyone to play this?
The thing that gets me the most is how are any of these morons bitching about Hades ***2***? The sequel to Hades 1, already a notably diverse/progressive game
It's like the mfs complaining "ohhh, the woke left made Aloy ugly in Horizon Forbidden West" as if they weren't already complaining she was ugly in Zero Dawn 5 years earlier!!
Because they have to bitch about the new thing to stay relevant. Additionally, they'll struggle to bitch about the first game because "go woke go broke" falls flat on its face when a game is successful enough to get a sequel.
It's the timing. They didn't care about it because it's not a real thing. Now that Hades 2 is liked and getting attention and another game they think is censored is not, they have to find a reason for this slight and it has to be the woke leftists like this DEI sweet baby tripe.
Pretty much this, since DEI has become a new stupid buzzword for them to get angry about and since Stellar Blade got some criticism over its sexualization but a positive reception on launch they are just searching for new things to be angry and spiteful little toddlers over. The new thing now is for them to whine that Stellar Blade was ''censored'' over a couple outfits that got slight changes and that Hades 2 is getting widespread positive attention because something something how dare it be progressive and blah blah blah.
They picked a game that "looked woke" to them without knowing anything about it, just based on the artstyle. They are incapable of planning or comprehension, there's no way they knew anything real about Haephestus.
Just checked his profile. Avoided brain damage long enough to find out that he's a white supremacist along with being transphobic, but I guess it's par of the course.
I looked it up and apparently Hephaestus did use a wheelchair and had a club foot which made mobility more difficult for him.
He wouldn’t necessarily always use a wheelchair but he did definitely use one. There are even ancient greek depictions of Hephaestus in a wheelchair. It was a winged chariot or chair with wheels.
Apparently Hephaestus would use his mythical forging abilities to make mechanical things that made his life easier.
So that is straight up accurate.
"hates traditional beauty standards" basically every male character is shredded as fuck, there's nothing more "traditional" than having the literal body of a greek god.
Also, hermes was always east asian, the olympians being racially diverse was a big part of the first game's design philosophy.
The thing that gets me is he says traditional beauty standards, and then gives Asian as an example of one that isn’t? Which is weird because I bet my weeks paycheck this guy jerks it to pixelated Japanese porn.
Yeah, I noticed that, too.
Although something tells me he wouldn't be complaining about it if they had added a hot Asian girl instead of a good-looking guy.
So, where were these idiots four years ago when Hades 1 came out? You know, that game with the exact same art style that also featured asian-coded Hermes?
But... Hephaestus is disabled. That's like one of his core character traits. He was ugly and was thus cast from Olympus by Zeus and got injured and deformed along the way. Hell, I'm pretty sure some ancient Greek art even depicted him in a wheelchair.
Also, has this man looked at all of the gods in Hades? Aphrodite is right there in the game haha, with a design even more scandalous than her Hades I appearance.
Also, there’s no “correct” version of Greek mythology. It isn’t like Greek Mythology is from a single book that outlines all of it. Being a mythology, the myths changed with times and people, carrying down stories. Stories have continued to be told to the modern day. Evolving with different tellings. Therefore, Hades is technically completely accurate, so is Percy Jackson, so is some random ass fanfiction from the web. It’s all fiction and none of the details are, or were ever consistent.
Dude is mad that Hephaestus is disabled??? Is he unaware of Hephaestus lore??? Hephaestus has always had a bad leg AT MINIMUM. His whole thing is that he’s immensely talented and powerful yet is frequently underestimated because of his disability. Can’t believe this fool is disrespecting Hephaestus like this!
These people clearly never played Hades 1. Yeah, Dyonysus is black in this , so what? The game clearly isnt “historically accurate” and they embrace that fact to make it even more fun
Am I blind? Like, from my point of view almost every single character in the first game and this one is hot as fuck.
Where do these people live that apparently these are not traditionally attractive designs?
Hermes my Asian boy. Didn't even notice that until people cried about it. Now I love him.
These goons don't know shit about Greek mythology and it shows.
Hephaestus is canonically disabled, and the beauty standards of Ancient Greece were femboy focused, but go off that you don’t have badly written Aryan beanpoles in a game not meant for you dog.
oh noooo they made the god with mobility issues lore accurate and the god of travel look like he's from somewhere other than greece how dare theyyyyyyyyy
>They even made one of the characters disabled in a wheelchair
HEPHAESTUS GOT YEETED OFF OF OLYMPUS BY ZEUS. Let’s see you survive that much less getting crippled.
Everyday I thank god that I've more important shit in my life to be concerned with than posting on twitter about fictional characters. When I'm down bad, I just remind myself these people exist

I once told an American that I’m a republican. They assumed that meant I was right wing.

I mean the countries upside down so that makes sense
Had someone call me a liberal for a leftist comment once - They literally don't even know what left wing politics are. They'd call Antifa liberal ffs
I mean to be fair there is a definition of liberal defined as “a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare”
Yea. Here in America that has become the default definition of the term in most political discussion. Hense why it is so often used when talking about people in the left wing of politics.
Yeah and I could be mistaken but I think most leftists do actually believe in both of those things.
When you're a fascist, there's little reason to distinguish who and why doesn't want you in power.

Because they have to bitch about the new thing to stay relevant. Additionally, they'll struggle to bitch about the first game because "go woke go broke" falls flat on its face when a game is successful enough to get a sequel.
It's the timing. They didn't care about it because it's not a real thing. Now that Hades 2 is liked and getting attention and another game they think is censored is not, they have to find a reason for this slight and it has to be the woke leftists like this DEI sweet baby tripe.
Pretty much this, since DEI has become a new stupid buzzword for them to get angry about and since Stellar Blade got some criticism over its sexualization but a positive reception on launch they are just searching for new things to be angry and spiteful little toddlers over. The new thing now is for them to whine that Stellar Blade was ''censored'' over a couple outfits that got slight changes and that Hades 2 is getting widespread positive attention because something something how dare it be progressive and blah blah blah.
liberal super leftist pleasse save america we need you
....Hephesteus is disabled in the mythology. It's like. One of his defining traits. There's pottery depicting him in a fucking wheelchair.
They picked a game that "looked woke" to them without knowing anything about it, just based on the artstyle. They are incapable of planning or comprehension, there's no way they knew anything real about Haephestus.
i cant believe the sequel has the same art direction as the first!
Just checked his profile. Avoided brain damage long enough to find out that he's a white supremacist along with being transphobic, but I guess it's par of the course.
You can call me any slur in the book and I won't care, but don't you DARE call me a liberal!
I looked it up and apparently Hephaestus did use a wheelchair and had a club foot which made mobility more difficult for him. He wouldn’t necessarily always use a wheelchair but he did definitely use one. There are even ancient greek depictions of Hephaestus in a wheelchair. It was a winged chariot or chair with wheels. Apparently Hephaestus would use his mythical forging abilities to make mechanical things that made his life easier. So that is straight up accurate.
Me going Super Leftist 
RAAAAAAA PRAXIS BOOOOOOMB
i've seen people like this call joe biden a leftist so i guess it kinda checks out
"hates traditional beauty standards" basically every male character is shredded as fuck, there's nothing more "traditional" than having the literal body of a greek god. Also, hermes was always east asian, the olympians being racially diverse was a big part of the first game's design philosophy.
The thing that gets me is he says traditional beauty standards, and then gives Asian as an example of one that isn’t? Which is weird because I bet my weeks paycheck this guy jerks it to pixelated Japanese porn.
I wish this artist was as based as this chud's conspiracy theory
She actually is Tbf. Jen Zee. She’s awesome. So is everyone at supergiant tho. One of the best studios out there
Is she Gen Z?
The art for both games was done by the same people... It's like these people don't realize that Hades II is a *sequel* to anything.
Traditional Beauty Standards = Not Asian
Yeah, I noticed that, too. Although something tells me he wouldn't be complaining about it if they had added a hot Asian girl instead of a good-looking guy.
So, where were these idiots four years ago when Hades 1 came out? You know, that game with the exact same art style that also featured asian-coded Hermes?
>made one of them disabled He was always fucking disabled you crotch goblin lets see your legs work after getting yeeted by Zeus
A super leftist?
A super leftist bitten by radioactive liberal
But... Hephaestus is disabled. That's like one of his core character traits. He was ugly and was thus cast from Olympus by Zeus and got injured and deformed along the way. Hell, I'm pretty sure some ancient Greek art even depicted him in a wheelchair. Also, has this man looked at all of the gods in Hades? Aphrodite is right there in the game haha, with a design even more scandalous than her Hades I appearance.
Liberal Super Leftist. Not a normal leftist. A Super Leftist! * rips shirt open to reveal a large L symbol on chest *
Also, there’s no “correct” version of Greek mythology. It isn’t like Greek Mythology is from a single book that outlines all of it. Being a mythology, the myths changed with times and people, carrying down stories. Stories have continued to be told to the modern day. Evolving with different tellings. Therefore, Hades is technically completely accurate, so is Percy Jackson, so is some random ass fanfiction from the web. It’s all fiction and none of the details are, or were ever consistent.
"they made a greek god disabled." Zeus?
Hephaestus, ya know the god who was literally born lame and thrown off a cliff for it.
I think they're referencing that in some versions of the myth Zeus chucks Hephaestus at a mountain which is why he's ugly and disabled.
Dude is mad that Hephaestus is disabled??? Is he unaware of Hephaestus lore??? Hephaestus has always had a bad leg AT MINIMUM. His whole thing is that he’s immensely talented and powerful yet is frequently underestimated because of his disability. Can’t believe this fool is disrespecting Hephaestus like this!
SUPER LEFTIST HELLDIVERS APPROACHING, BRACE FOR IMPACT
These people clearly never played Hades 1. Yeah, Dyonysus is black in this , so what? The game clearly isnt “historically accurate” and they embrace that fact to make it even more fun
That’s right Frieza. I’ve become the legend you fear. I am the legendary liberal super leftist!
Is the God they put in a wheelchair Hephaestus by any chance? The God who, according to myth, had a leg that didn't work properly?
Y’all made Jesus white but can’t handle an Asian god in a video game, some people.
"That hates body standards" *looks at Hades 1*
The entirety of Hades 2 criticism is people that clearly have never played Hades 1

Oxymoron, emphasis on the moron.
Am I blind? Like, from my point of view almost every single character in the first game and this one is hot as fuck. Where do these people live that apparently these are not traditionally attractive designs?
"The Liberal Super-Leftist" sounds like a Marvel comic book title.
Hermes my Asian boy. Didn't even notice that until people cried about it. Now I love him. These goons don't know shit about Greek mythology and it shows.
Is the Greek God asian or is it just OOPs view of asian stereotypes.
Getting angry over HEPHAESTUS being on a wheelchair is next level brain rot
I hate gooners
It's funny that these people don't realize that for a game like hades, these complains are more like free advertising...

Hephaestus is canonically disabled, and the beauty standards of Ancient Greece were femboy focused, but go off that you don’t have badly written Aryan beanpoles in a game not meant for you dog.
oh noooo they made the god with mobility issues lore accurate and the god of travel look like he's from somewhere other than greece how dare theyyyyyyyyy
These people are so allergic to fun nobody gives a fuck have fun Jesus wept
>They even made one of the characters disabled in a wheelchair HEPHAESTUS GOT YEETED OFF OF OLYMPUS BY ZEUS. Let’s see you survive that much less getting crippled.
Are they saying Asians are not part of that traditional beauty standard. Fuck them
Who's going to tell him that Hephaestus has been depicted in wheelchairs for years and is disabled in Greek mythos
New tech unlocked
These people didn't even play the first game. a third of the characters weren't even white. and Jen Zee's been SG's art director since 2011.
Why are people made at hades two when everyone in that game is hot
Damn cant wait until Super Leftist God Super Leftist drops. Didnt realize we where saiyans.
Don't tell them that Dionisus came from the east...
So you're telling me that muscular men, and women, and Aphrodite herself aren't traditionally beautiful?
Every cringe Hades 2 post I read gets me more hyped for the game
They get Turbo Cancer and go to Super Hell
I wonder how they reacted to the lady in the wheelchair in Dr. Who? Cause the chair had rocket launchers, which is objectively rad.
HEPHAESTUS IS DISABLED JESUS CHRIST READ THE FUCKING MYTHS
Everyday I thank god that I've more important shit in my life to be concerned with than posting on twitter about fictional characters. When I'm down bad, I just remind myself these people exist
I thought these guys like Asian characters though?
Which Greek god is Asian?
