Recently, the U.S. government has used images from the famous video game Halo to promote its deportation efforts, which has sparked a wave of online criticism. This controversy began when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published an image related to Halo with the phrase “Destroy the Flood”<\/strong>, in an attempt to dehumanize immigrants by comparing them to harmful alien life forms.<\/p>\n\n\n

A very, very unpleasant announcement<\/h2>\n\n\n

The use of this type of language and symbolism in government propaganda has been considered by many as a dangerously unserious lack, evoking comparisons to dark moments in history, where groups of people have been dehumanized to justify violence and oppression. Despite the attention it has generated, Microsoft, the company behind Halo, has not yet issued a response regarding this, something that recalls past situations where companies like Nintendo have remained silent in the face of the use of their intellectual property in questionable contexts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
