I was briefly into 40k in the 00s, but once the 2010s started I slowly started getting an ick feeling from it but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

specifically, I was still cool with most of the lore, but the Imperium fanboys were getting to be unfun to be around. As I got older and wised up, I figured out around the same time many others did, that these same people just had a fascism fetish in general.

so with all that said.

Death to the false emperor Let the galaxy burn BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

As someone who likes the Space Marines, but hates Nazis and understands that Warhammer 40k is satire, I’m greatly saddened by the Fascism fan boys in the community.

  The 80s 40k is satire. That ship sailed long, long ago tho.

I played Imps and I still cannot wrap my head around people thinking the empire is the good guy. The appeal to me is that they are normal people pulled into an unfair and cruel world led by people who are entirely indifferent to their suffering. The best IG stories always involve a lot of infighting.

These days I don’t really tell people I am into it.

It sounds like most people who are really into superhero comics, then start to question the whole “let these elites fight for their brand of justice without the consent of anyone else” and then you wonder what your principles are.

Mine currently swing between “huh, maybe elites with a good code of conduct is a net win” and “huh, maybe anarchy is ideal form of state”.
