Been hearing a lot of rumblings from normal people in the warhammer community they are tired of fascists worshipping the imperium of man in their community.

is it like a human supremacist group in the lore or something like the empire in Star Wars?

      And don’t forget, Slaanesh was created by the Eldar having crazy sex. Sounds exactly like fascist allegory, saying that “removed” will destroy society… somehow.

        slaanesh as a monsterous evil always made me really uncomfortable, and what makes it quadruple uncomfortable is how apparently one of the evil things they can do is make you enjoy fighting which is evil in a world where people fight all the time (???)

        like theres no actual philosophical critiques of hedonism inherent to slaanesh, its just “:le-pol-face: pleasure bad”

          They’ve tried to change it recently, by making Slaanesh more a “god of perfection and artistic obsession” but really that’s just a way of making the drugs and the rock and roll cover up all the sex.
