Helldivers 2 Devs Appeal for Players to Stop Simping for Eagle 1 Pilot. 'She's Married to Democracy, and Liberty Is Her Boyfriend'
This, of course, won't stop players from gratuitously admiring the pilot.
The priorities of all helldivers should be simple: serve Super Earth in need and protect the good name of Democracy. That's all, as in the face of danger, a true citizen has no time for mundane feelings... at least in theory. Practice proves that galactic soldiers are still just humans who have their weaknesses. One of them is called Eagle 1.
Combat pilot is perfect partner
While on the battlefield, Helldivers 2 players can use various maneuvers to attack enemy forces, offer support and often save a seemingly tragic situation. One of them is the Eagle 1 bomber, which - as you can tell by the voice - is almost certainly piloted by a woman.
The emergence of the pilot cult was only a matter of time. Within a few days after the release, a fanart depicting an Eagle 1 female pilot debuted in the community, with a key combination summoning her. Of course, this isn't the real appearance of the helldiver, who we have never physically seen in the game.
With the amount of nukes, missile strikes and cluster bombs Eagle 1 has dropped for me, she can have all my super credits anytime. "An eagle never misses"

Jokes on you cadet! From the first time I heard "an eagle never misses" I knew I would be requisitioning 2 copies of the "Ladies of Liberty" calendar this year.

Some players are proposing that employees of Arrowhead Game Studios should create their own Eagle 1 merchandise due to the extent of the issue. Including the body pillow.
We must protect Eagle 1 from propaganda!
The official services of Democracy couldn't ignore the significant attention surrounding the pilot. The official Helldivers 2 profile stated on X that Eagle 1 is fully committed to the mission and has no time for minor romances.
Eyes up and focused on the mission, Helldivers. She's married to Democracy, and Liberty is her boyfriend.

Will this stop the helldivers from simping and force them to focus on the mission? Absolutely not. Some players are already making jokes about changing their last name to Democracy, while also praising the "official" character design (which is a drawing by SpiritDraws_S). So don't lose hope - there may be enough room in the heart of Eagle 1 for all of you.
