Space Marine 2 Is Too Busy Making You Feel Heroic to Show the Farce at Warhammer 40K’s Heart

I’ve long enjoyed Warhammer 40K, but so often the people who write fiction for the setting struggle to handle the black satire that sits at the heart of the setting.

The problem is there’s a non-insignificant sexist, racist, and toxic portion of the Warhammer fanbase that tend to think the Imperium is correct in its methods. Newcomers might play it and not understand what the setting is truly about.


Ironic fascism: Taboo-breaking counterculture paved the way for the return of the very fascism it claimed to subvert

I liked playing SM2, but they should do more against the racists fanbase.
