Did you know that the character in Warhammer 40k named Gazgull Mag Uruk Thraka (I probably spelled it wrong) was a spoof and satire of Matgerate Thatcher?
Looks like it's fan speculation, but has never been confirmed. You'd think they would have made him female in that case.
Obviously GW wouldn't ever say it outright. But once you hear the two names side by side, it's not a coincidence.
Even now, over 10 years after her death? You'd think someone would have confirmed it by now. But who knows, it very well could be inspired by her name.
No female orks, a species of fungi without gender
Ah, I'm not too familiar with Warhammer.
No I didn't. Should I know that?
Doesn't matter, not really, but I think it's funny that the most prominent spoof of her is an ork warboss
