Okay so Youtube started recommending these videos in a genre called “HFY” or “Humanity Fuck Yeah” which, as far as I can tell, involves AI narrators reading AI-generated stories over slideshows of AI-generated images and the stories are all military sci-fi where humans are the bestest warriors the galaxy has ever seen and kill stupid evil caricature aliens 1000:1. Once in a while there’s a story where an alien race does a massacre to humans which gives the humans an excuse to gloriously commit righteous genocide

If you were to dig far enough back into r/HFY’s history you would absolutely find that, yes. Like I’m not even guessing here, I am 100% confident that literally that exact fanfic is somewhere in the depths there, right alongside memes of the one officer lifting weights captioned with a particular rant that I can’t remember if it was a quote from the movie or 40k inspired fanwank.
Like the WH40k flavored contrarian reaction to Avatar was 100% part of the genesis of that genre and that sub.
I had the misfortune of seeing that exact image and can confirm it wasn’t in the movie. It’s also completely at odds with the character it’s posted next to, who’s a stereotypical dumb violent meathead (so accurate portrayal of an American troop)
