The author seems to be anti-war, anti-police brutality, anti-racist and anti-censorship, which is all fine... but also anti-wh2k, anti-vaccine and supported by lolcats. I don't think "fundies" is the right pigeonhole... I think it's "loonies". :uhrr: Title: Re: Fundies discover 40K, Hilarity Ensues Post by: Trippy on June 10, 2009, 03:57:03 AM Ya, more like a pinko commie conspiracy freak.

On the subject of "Angels of Death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywWlUfaWlS0)" he says:
Quote I am not even a religious person, but this offends even me. Apparently the idea of angels being death-dealers offends his non-religious sensibilities. Because angels don't do that in the stories.

This was 10 years ago, but let face it, the inspirations for a lot of the imagery of 40K is dodgy in the extreme, and doubly so if you have no idea that game exists. Hell even if you do "Genetically superior supermen who are the only defense against genetically unclean and the forces of disorder, that are constantly trying to bring down civilization from within". You don't have to be crazy to connect fairly obvious dots.

You don't have to be crazy to connect fairly obvious dots. Funnily enough when GW moved to their new corporate headquarters about ten years ago a lot of money was spent on remodelling the existing building as a nod to the lore. This included Bugman's, the Dwarf theme bar, the life-sized Space Marine statue outside, reception getting the full gothic-cathedral look and, somewhat controversially the outside of the boardroom was covered by a 50 foot long Imperial Eagle. All the local taxi drivers were convinced I worked at some kind of Nazi-theme park.And yes, there's a fairly overt nod to hyper-nationalist sentiment in the lore - especially in 40K. I once heard John Stallard explain that GW used black, white and red as it's primary palette for branding because 'they are good totalitarian colours'.
