The Department of Homeland Security’s unhinged Twitter account appropriated a beloved video game character, Master Chief, from the ‘Halo’ franchise to produce recruitment propaganda for the ICE gestapo. It led to swift and severe backlash from gamers like The Act Man and Angry Joe, who denounced them for their “dehumanizing police state propaganda” that compared immigrants to a parasitic alien species in the game. In this video we’ll talk about how an increasing number of gamers are standing up to the reactionaries trying to hijack their hobby.
