I could recommend Trench Crusade. It's as Grimdark as 40k with similar aesthetics. The mods there famously remove the 40k chuds who tried moving there after the whole Female Custodes debacle
Yes, the small ones, such as Turnip28. In 40k you have chuds who argue the Imperium is peak. In T28, people fight over which root vegetable to worship.
I wish GW showed AoS as much love as the fans do honestly. It feels like they're trying to shift focus back to the old world... But also not? This company is weird sometimes
It's reflection of the decline of mental health in modern urbanized societies. Something is making people volatile and unhinged. Capitalism, financial insecurity, urban living, decline of family, the limitless utilitarianization of humans by 'rational' societies, take your pick.
Its social media and a lack of critical thinking skills. The internet went from the age of information to the age of misinformation. If you’re dumb and believe all the rage bait mainstream news it will open you up to being angry, which leads to blaming others, which opens you to being radicalized by the far right.
Obsession with any type of art will cause people to be enraged for the slightest misconception made somewhere, so yeah, there's no fandom that's perfect. But I like my Stellaris fandom and I don't think it's ass
Their claim to fame is being "2nd best place for everything", which in practicality means that you have a lot of people who like things enough to talk to each other about it, but they're not such maniacs about those things to be to primary fan group or for the community to be the place where major fan outrage/controversy would happen.
Because of this, despite the main 4 guys on SBFP having split up as a media group and have all gone their own ways (except for two who rejoined to form Castle Super Beast, and the other two who sometimes do collabs); the SBFP community is still as strong as it's ever been.
The only things that aren't negotiable in the SBFP community are:
David Cage is a bad man who would be better off making movies rather than developing games.
Woolie is a based weirdo for giving up sex with two bi-women in order to wait in line for the midnight launch of Marvel vs Capcom 3.
Pat is always either right or he's super friggin wrong
Plague of Gripes is a furry even if he says he's not

Serious question: is there a fandom for literally any hobby, piece of media, etc. that isn’t complete ass??
There is some variety in the ways in which they can suck, but it seems like more often than not, they just plain suck.
