halo is weird.
Because it was made in a time that was even more rife with bigotry in the industry, many of the themes of the series are pretty fucking cringe in retrospect. Like with all the millitary bootlicking and stuff, not to mention the undertones with the covenant.
But now the series is trying to be more progressive and inclusive. The original creator of halo has turned around seemingly now being one of the more genuinely progressive and caring AAA game devs when it comes to real world problems.
But even then, halo still censors words like ACAB, it still makes super obvious mistakes when it comes to respecting people of colour.
There was a whole debale where the game hopefully accidentally called black people monkeys.
But like, it's a huge universe that by now is also about interspecies collaboration and about not repeating the mistakes of the past. But the community is filled with the most rancid people I've ever come across.
Pretty much all good guys in the series would be horrified by the views of the halo community at large.
Pretty much every single content creator was vocally against blm during the George Floyd protests, and it still disgusts me and shocks me to this day.
I love the games don't get me wrong, but god I cannot stand the community.
