fascists latching on so so so hard to warhammer 40k because they are too stupid to realize that warhammer 40k is about how evil fascism is is easily one of the biggest ironies of idiot nerdboy culture
warhammer 40k: there’s a civilization in our setting that sacrifices millions of people and wages constant war in the name of what is essentially a big corpse, they’re so stupid they think their own crumbling obsolete-ass technology is magic, everyone around them is objectively better than them at everything except having a ton of soldiers, even the people who live amongst literal demons have a higher quality of life than these idiots
someone who jacks off to photos of kaiser wilhelm: oh right, you mean the good guys
At this point I think any work aiming to decry fascism and reactionary politics from Warhammer to Fight Club is doomed to at least slightly, partially fail and attract a cult of dumbass reactionaries
Either that, or it’s overwhelmingly obvious (cf. Wolfenstein), so the dumbasses never touch the game/etc. in the first place.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if some chucklefucks perceived the neo-Nazis of Wolfenstein as the “real fascists, leftists of today,” or some shit
