It's like they totally missed the satire and just went, "Yeah, we should have an Imperium of Man with a God Emperor who's long dead but we worship anyway!"

[–] solitaire@infosec.pub 6 points 1 year ago

this has always been the way honestly and describes the vast majority of warhammer fans i've met

Chuds imagine themselves as a Primarch and not the random family that waits an entire generation in line to see the Administratum on Terra.

I don't know why they're getting so angry that there's going to be female Custodes

It's the only women these guys are going to be able to touch

All these "fans" aren't playing the tabletop, I'm guessing...

When will CHUDs finally take the hint and realize that geek culture isn't FOR them?

Geekdom is supposed to be an escape from normies, what obligation do we have to respect normie politics? They are more than welcome to go back to golf or watching football or something.

yeah when i was like late teens/early 20s my geek gaming circle was all like weird and gay AF

would have hated a bunch of social conservative weirdos getting in our business. the few that played at the local hobby shop were creepy and everyone avoided them

Same. Before gaming was really mainstreamed, it was a lot of weird nerd types (self included). Now a LARP group? Mine made tabletop look like a football game right after 9/11.

Surprised how many of these chud videos I've been getting lately, I keep blocking the channels but apparently youtube really wants everyone to become a nazi.

warhammer is trash anyway

the only good thing it produced was the comrade who wrote the Diegetic Essentialism essay on r/sigmarxism. that's the only credit i'll give it

Fascist super soldiers being women sometimes means 40k is woke now. How dare how dare

The reason people are abandoning Warhammer is because of the intense IP protection and terrible story direction they are going. Nobody that I know that likes Warhammer cares even abit about 'wokeness', and if anything, them increasingly catering towards the Space Marine players is killing the franchise.

them increasingly catering towards the Space Marine players

mood. I'll wait for my next Necron drip while they reinvent entire new, cooler marines.

God I hope whatever this bullshit is about makes these people actually leave the hobby. I know they won't, though. They never do.
