Ah yes, dying horribly in a never ending fascist war machine is so much preferable to orgies!

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
Notably, the Tau were introduced only a few years after the setting turned grimdark.
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
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
a phil kelly book has hit the nice and cool tau lore
Communism is when caste system...
T’au are more like NATO
