Hopefully I'm preaching to the choir and the main response from everybody is that this is obvious and didn't need to be said.

I read a few comments from some gross cishets about how angry they are about the female Custode. They prop up the Imperium of Man as though they are some paragon of morality and not the picture of everything wrong with imperialism. Naturally this perfectly moral force would have only men in its ranks, clearly! They don't seem to realize that if women are left out we have a sexist/mysogynist system which is not worth praising, and if they include women then it's the imperialist machine trying to keep up appearances. Frankly, I've always figured the Imperium didn't care about gender or race because everyone is suitable to die in combat and be ground into food for the starving populace.

tl;dr Men are upset that women exist and missed the whole satire

Even then they colonize planets and give the choice of "join or die". And if you join, you start at the bottom of their caste system at just a barely teeny tiny step above slavery.

The only good faction in 40k is Chaos, because they are hell bent on destroying the entire universe, and the entire universe clearly fucking needs to be destroyed because there's no good anywhere in it.

Actually the Necrons are kinda good too, kinda sorta ish.

Smh, of course you liberals wouldn't support the based Genestealer Cults and their AES (Actively Embodying Snackrifice)

Still wanna do a story where a Genestealer cult wins, but in the last battle with the Imperial forces their Patriarchy gets slagged and they somehow figure out what the Tyrannids really are, and now have to figure out what the fuck to do about the onrushing hive fleet that's going to eat the revolution they worked so hard to win.

Have a small collection of GSC and that's basically my army's lore

It's become easier to excuse since my dog ate my patriarch model agony

Genestealers always be tryin' to steal my toothbrush though so I don't see how they're the good guys

Pff ofc you'd take issue with that. One of the foundational tenets of Communism is sharing of the toothbrush. Plus, have you seem how many teeth our gene-comrades have? To each according to their needs!

Now face the biomass dissolving pool please.

This is just posadism

Yeah the original concept was supposed to be a utopian communist society and then they remembered its a grim dark setting and made them neolibs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Utopian communists with a caste system...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I think that was something that was added later in their conceptualization before they decided to do away with the idealist and equitable society part, I assume because most Warhammer fans would have shit themselves in rage at the thought.

Nah, Necrons are horrible.
