Just popping in to let all the filthy mon'keigh mongrels know that Eldar Craftworlds are canonically communism. Sucks to suck.
Really? Aren't Tau supposed to be Communism?
Tau used to be a lot cooler, but the grimdark fan lads did a massive cry about weeabooification of their grimdork nonsense setting. Now the tau are a lot less cool with mind control and sterilisation camps etc etc
Farsight Enclaves? Not perfect but feels revolutionary.
The joke on r/sigmarxism was always that Farsight Enclaves was a junta, and we should uphold Tau'va thought
no no, revolutionary provisional council; not junta
but blue and with hooves
Notably, the Tau were introduced only a few years after the setting turned grimdark.
Are the sterilization camps and stuff substantiated or is that more "unreliable narrator" stuff?
I dont know, Im not rich enough to have the books. I mostly remember the outrage about ""good guys" in our grimdark " and the anti anime / japan sentiment
I always thought making the Tau the good guys but then making them lose to the imperium would be the ultimate grimdark
"You underestimate my racism!"
a phil kelly book has hit the nice and cool tau lore
T’au are more like NATO
Communism is when caste system...
