Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Warhammer 40K entered the chat
I'm not into 40k, I love the idea and mythos and occasionally watch someone paint a mini, then I came across some 40k subreddit and it's a bunch of anti woke nonsense. Like wtf, they do realise they're the ones that used to be shat upon, right?
And upon seeing their chance to be the shitter, rather than the shittee, they climb over each other to throw shit.
Most of the human race aren't worth fucking saving, that much is clear.
People that ate too much imperial propaganda and think that, yes, the Imperium is "the best alternative for mankind", despite it stomping down actually better alternatives left and right throughout the lore
They sure don't. Fascists are immune to irony.
Tbf that's only the imperium fans. The rest at least know they're playing pretend. Maybe not the Boyz I think they're serious.
As someone outside the fandom looking in it seems like the entire 40K franchise revolves around the Space Marines, with the other factions taking a supporting role at best.
"I like the ones that look like space Nazis the most."
Oh, the principality/republic of Zeon/Neo Zeon?
Now imagine if you play imperial guard. I feel like I am the only fan who understands IG. Its about people living under a cruel unwieldy empire that is utterly indifferent to their lives with almost no way out. Your entire world with all it rich history and unique culture can be wiped out in a second. And it wont mean a thing. Shit like that is what makes IG cool
Heresy intensifies.
