Let noob ask a question please, but ain’t Warhammer lore a parody for war and nationalistic shit, even thru “purge xenos” yells?
I’ve actually never played actual tabletop, but some video games… I know memes only.
Isn’t the real message that we should develop more neural computational devices to prevent rebellion?
Yes, Inquisitor. This one right here is sprouting heresy. Something about the Imperium of Man will be the downfall of mankind.
The worst exemple you could choose is wharamer 40k. Like the fucking universe where humanity has to fight to survive. And fight more horrible things than even exist in ours.
Edit for all the moron than think politics are an integral part of wharamer juste replace wharamer with full metal jacket and how it was meant to show war ks horrible and the audience got the message thebmilitarybis cool.
The point of wharamer is to sell figurine that look cool and have a cool background. U dumb and tiresome.

I always love the irony of someone being called stupid in a borderline illiterate response.
Especially when you’re completely uninformed about the history of “wharamer”
Bruh, 40K literally started as a satire of fascism during the punk movement. From medium:
The farther we go forward in time, the more Umberto Eco’s seminal essay on the definition of fascism (“Ur-Fascism”, 1995) applies. Read these (very abridged) qualifiers and think about what you know about 40k, space marines, and the Imperium of Man.
- Cult of Tradition/Traditionalism
- Rejection of Modernism
- Cult of Action for Action’s Sake
- Disagreement is treason.
- Racist by definition/diversity is bad.
- Derives power from individual or social frustration.
- Nationalism/Tribalism/”Appeals to people who feel deprived of a clear social identity”
- Followers feel humiliated.
- Life is lived for struggle/life is permanent…
Think about every line you know from 40k, and everything that ever happens in this setting. It’s incredibly fascist coded and the fault of the fascists for being in their situation.
