Fash grimdark fetishists only like grimdark settings because their conception of grimdarkness is stuffed full of racism, SA, and generally-accepted labeling of ontological evils that absolutely must be genocided to their very last unit. Why I stopped fucking with anything Warhammer, I’m sick of running into chuds and despite hearing how many trans folks are into the IP, I’ve only ever met them in one-off, two-off, or happenstance circumstances, and have been otherwise mass polluted with chuddery.

What you’ve observed above is why I dread ever seeing 40k phrasing in the internet wild, like “heretics” or “xenos” because 99% of the time fascist oinking accompanies it.
